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.

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.. .

tions, but Ivan ; Congleton,
who said he represented the
575 businesses of Association
Oregon, said the suggest
ed relief time would be eco
nomically unfeasible for pack
ers and canners who must
maintain certain tempera
tures and steady operations to
prevent perishability in the
products. ,
Harris Higgins, vice presi
dent of the Oregon Farm
Bureau federation, testified
that Oregon agriculture could
not accept employment re
strictions without affecting
the cost of its export com
modities that faced great
price competition from out of
state. ' . " .' .
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.
The number of commercial
ships using the Panama Canal
was 9,187 during the fiscal
year that ended June 30, 1958,
