1 MAIL TRIBUNf, Msdford, Oregon, Sunday, January U. 13 Rep. Ullman Weighs Next Move Made by Hells Canyon Group By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - Rep. Al Ull man (D-Ore.), one of the founders of the grass roots Hells Canyon movement in behalf of the proposed high federal dam, is pondering what is the next move by those forces in Cong reis and in the a. smit N orthwest. Ullman said he cannot ac cept the revised 308 report of the Corps of Engineers "as the best one for full develop ment, of the middle Snake River" because it is based on the assumption that the high Hells Canyon dam will not be built. "If we ever get to the point where we have to accept what has been done at Hells Can yon then their recommenda tion (308 report) may be the best that we can hope to get,' said Ullman. What has been done at Hells Canyon, as Ullman refers to : it, is that Idaho Power Co. has built the Brownlee dam up stream from Hells Canyon and is working on the smaller Ox bow project. Both would be flooded out if a high Hells Canyon dam were ever built. ' Ullman indicated that con gressional sponsors of the Hells .Canyon bill in past ses sions of Congress would soon confer on their dilemma. Seeks Legislation ' Back after his first reelec tion campaign, the Baker con gressman said he hopes to get legislation passed by spring to authorize the Bully Creek reclamation project in Mal heur county, and to see some progress on the Baker Valley and Umatilla River projects ' Ullman last year success fully got enacted a bill to re move onion futures from being listed on the commodity boards, where buying by spec ulators caused wide fluctua tions in prices farmers selling onions were receiving. Ull man said the matter is now being contested in the courts The congressman thinks his bill will help the little farm er to resist the trend toward large central syndicates that operate vast crop and- live stock operations. - In the field of education, Ullman believes the 86th Con gress will enact a federal aid for school construction pro gram to aid the states provide adequate public schools. He is for it, but fears the presi dent might veto it. "Then the next develop ment in American education will be the advent of the com munity college," said Ullman, who has a bill to provide fed eral aid for such two-year colleges. "Some states, like Califor nia, have developed junior colleges, but most states like Oregon haven't and need them desperately," he added. Educators from all over the country have written Ullman favorably about his bill. Sen. Ralph W. Yarborough (D- Tex.) last year introduced Ullman's bill in the Senate after it drew favorable atten tion in Texas, which is strug gling with a junior college program, said Ullman The community colleges, generally not enrolling over 1000 students, will keep the state universities from getting as large as Columbia Univer sity and other eastern univer sities, if Ullman can put his idea across.

Budget Procedure Reviewed by Group The school budget proce dure now in effect was eval uated at a meeting of county school officials and others connected with school budg ets last week. 5 The group considered means by which the county office could be of assistance to school boards, budget com mittees, administrators and clerks for budget making, ad ministration, accounting and reporting, Alf Mekvold, coun ty school superintendent said. Attending the meeting were Karl Janouch, county treasurer; Mrs. ELva Jen nings, of the assessor's office; staff members of the county school superintendents office; George Stacy, who has been contracted to audit second and third class districts; and Gerald Latham, a member of the county board of educa tion. , Mekvold : noted that the county superintendent's of fice must distribute necessary forms in budgeting, account ing and reporting as well as on necessary elections. It also must provide instructions for use of such forms. . ' Legal questions involved are handled through the county office, he pointed out, as are consultive services when requested. The assessor's office, Mek vold pointed out, has the re sponsibility of determining total required .tax levies from the approved budgets. Mrs. Jennings stressed that the as sessor's office does not have any jurisdiction in determin ing the amount of taxes to be paid. This is determined by budget committees in each taxing unit and required lev ies are subject to approval by a vote of the people after the proposed budget is con sidered at a public hearing. Spreads Tax Rolls The assessor's office spreads on the tax rolls levies certi fied to them as approved. The office is concerned that the budget has been properly pre pared and approved in order that the correct levy can be made. Janouch noted that the treasurer's office has the re sponsibility of determining the required levies for pay ment of principal and inter est on bonds. The auditor not only pro vides the annually required audit of district- accounts, but also is contracted to provide assistance to districts in their accounting and reporting, Mekvold pointed out. Budget forms and instruc tions are now being sent out from the county superintend ent's office, Mekvold said. Testimony Taken oh Proposed New Law For Women Workers Salem -Fifty representa tives of food processing plants, farm and labor or ganization presented testi mony at a hearing of the state wage and hour commis sion here last week on pro posed regulations , on exces sive plant temperatures for women workers. ' R. W. Gray, Medford, of the Medford Pear Shippers 'as sociation, told the commis sion it was impossible to cool down August and Sep tember temperature without fast flowing currents in the open-side type of packing house necessary for. modern operation." He said there was no great fatigue factor in a daily pro duction of 10,500 packed box es because of the atmosphere's favorable humidity. Request Exemption C. F. Orey, president of the Oregon Bean Growers as sociation, requested all agri cultural field work be ex empted from any working temperature provisions as "there are not enough people in the valley to save the crops if the suggested relief periods become mandatory." A repesentative of the meat cutter, fish and poultry work ers unions, H. IS. Barker, re ported encountering exces sively cold temperatures and inadequate washing facilities in some plants. He requested the conditions of women working in, cold water in fish and poultry pro cessing particularly be brought under regulation.. .

' . " .' . Commission Chairman Hen ry S. Howard advised the group that modern methods of agriculture and foodstuffs bring up the question of min imum, working standards de signed to bring the flagrant violators of healthful working conditions in line. Generally Agree Those testifying . generally agreed with a provision for minimum temperatures of 60 to 68 degrees fahrenheit where the nature of work permits-the legal minimum to vary with the physical ac tivity of the occupation. Possibility of an hourly rest period for women work ing temperatures below 60 degrees or above 94 degrees, was the outstanding point at issue. The recommendation was made by a recent con ference board reviewing the commission's general physical welfare order oh the employ ment of women. The commission took all suggestions under' advise ment. The commission must formally adopt any confer ence board recommendation before it becomes a legal pro vision.
