Legislators Now Using Soothing Tranquillizers By FRANCES LITTRELL Salem The rest of the State may not have had mail delivery last Saturday, but our desk sported its usual stock of mail, as both the House and the Sen ate have their own mail carriers to and from the Salem post office. In the past two weeks, every one but the House tax commit tee seems to have come out with a tax program. So far, Speaker Pat Dooley's is the only one to receive the Governors blessing. Representative Barton told me this morning that his tax pro gram will be read for the first time Thursday morning. Wednesday morning, the Little Chamber orchestra of 16 girls playing string instruments gave a half hour concert in the House of Representatives. The girls are unique in the fact that they are the only orchestra in the world to play completely from memory. Also on Wednesday, Represen tative Cook became a father for the first time and in the late . afternoon, we had our longest call of the house. It lasted 90 minutes, and they never did find one member, so we were recessed until 10 a.m. the next day. The call of the House is often necessary to have a quo rum present and due to the fact that the committees still have many bills to consider, one or tw committees are always ex cused; however, they are subject to a call of the House. Often members slip out to avoid voting on a bill and too, some slip out for personal or business appoint ments. Tranquillizers Used Early in the session, because many legislators and their sec retaries were down with colds, Dr. Purvine ordered the large center doors of the House closed and to remain closed for the rest of the session because they create , quite a draft. This, of course, makes the traffic doubly heavy on the two side doors. Mr. Middaugh, who is the front door man on the left side of the House, told me he opened that door 1400 times in one day last week, and Mr. Schrenk in the Senate lounge reported that on Friday of last week, he had served the 10,000th cup of cof fee; In jest, I said to Dr. Purvine "how many tranquillizers have you: passed out this session?" His answer was "Plenty, and if I could tell you, it would amaze you." Seems everyone we talk to is taking them these days especially here in Salem. Of course, at this point, we are so involved with our daily tasks and the problems at hand, that We forget that there is an out side world other than that which revolves around the State House. Some days I even forget to look up at the balconies; how ever when I do, they are always full. Today the ways and means committee recommended the passage of a board of higher education budget very close to that of ex-Governor Smith's. When House Bill 650 (a bill to remove public officials urom office when they are under in dictment) was read in the Sen ate for the second time, Mr. Overhulse assigned it to the Mulnomah delegation. When asked why a delegation, instead oi a committee, his reply was "Well, it's their mess isn't it?" The House has had several afternoon sessions this week and as many as 19 bills on the daily calendar which means an hour or so of amendments for we sec retaries. Thanks for your nice letters and encouragement on my Sa lem chit chat.
