! 10 MAIL TRIBUNE. MW, Or, Tuwday. January 20, 1939 Increased Salaries For Supreme Court Justices Proposed Salem-EPD-Increase in the salaries . of Supreme Court Justices from $16,000 to $18, 000 a year and Circuit Court judges from $13,000 to $15, 000 annually are contained in Senate bill 42, introduced Monday by the Committee on Judiciary at the request of the Oregon State Bar. Sen. Carl Francis (R-Day- ton), chairman of the Judici ary Committee, said introduc tion of this bill and others did not indicate approval. "We agreed to introduce a number of bills for the Bar and the Legislative Interim Nuclear Forces Better Understood By K Meson Study Los Angeles, (Science Serv ice A three-year study of the K" meson, a strange particle which should not exist at all under the old laws of physics, may lead scientists to a clear er understanding of basic nu clear forces, and eventually to a new phyical principle in nature. Some results of this study have been reported by a group of physicists at the University of California at Los Angeles, led by Drs. Harold Ticho and Donald K. Stork. The invisible K meson is called "strange" by physicists because there seems to be nd valid reason for its existence. While its actual lifetime is one hundred-millionth of a second, under the old laws of physics a particle such as the . K meson was expected to de cay in one thousand-billion-billionth of a second. At this decay rate, the K meson should have been completely undetectable. Scientists Pussled ' .The - reason for the unex pected; longevity puzzles sci entists, but its existence in dicates a new basic principle in nature. The K meson is created in nature through the high en ergy in cosmic ray particles interacting in the atmosphere. However, - not enough of the natural mesons could be iso lated for laboratory study, un til, in 1954, the bevatron in Berkeley began to produce enough artificial K mesons to allow systematic research. ' "One of the reasons for studying K meson," explains Dr. Stork, "it that the force which holds nuclei together isbot well understood. "Discovery of the pi-meson, the so-called 'nuclear glue' was a great step forward. With more thorough analysis of the K meson, we hope to arrive at a clearer understanding of the basic foundation of nu clear force." Virginia Governor Battles Integration Richmond, Va.-(UPD-Gov. J. Lindsay Almond moved today to rebuild Virginia's defenses against school integration by a new legislative program to replace "massive resistance" laws struck down by federal and state courts. Almond was naming a spe cial legislative commission to consider new laws to keep Negro and white students from attending the same schools. Almond, an avowed segre gationist, had closed nine Vir ginia schools last fall when the schools were ordered inte grated by federal court rul ings. Monday, both the state's highest court and a federal court panel declared the state's "massive resistance" laws unconstitutional. Stand on Death Penalty Reaffirmed Portland -(DPD- The Oregon Prison Association Monday re affirmed its opposition to a death penalty in Oregon, even though a measure against the death penalty was beaten by voters at the polls last No vember. Mrs. Claire Argow, associa tion executive director, said the voting margin which kill ed the measure indicated that it still might have a good chance of passage if once more referred to the voters. She said the Association felt Oregon should follow the lead of other states and abolish the death penalty. The group also reaffirmed its stand for a full-time Ore gon parole board and said it planned to continue to seek establishment of a women's prison in Oregon. Committee on Judicial Ad ministration," he said. "How ever, we will hold public hear ings and consider them care fully before taking action." Another bill requested by the Bar implements a measure passed by the people at the November election regarding appointment of po tern circuit judges. Pro Tem Judges A qualified person appoint ed as a pro tem circuit judge would be limited to 00 days service, unless his term was extended - by the Supreme Court to enable him to con clude work on a case which he heard. Retired judges also could be called. The pro tem judges would be paid $35 a day. Boys committed to Mac- Laren" school for boys could not be transferred to the new state correctional institution or the penitentiary under Senate bill 43. An effort to cut down the number of habeas corpus pe titions filed by state prison inmates is contained in SB 35 introduced by Sen. Robert White (R-Salem) and others. Back To The County , It provides that after the filing of a habeas corpus pro ceeding to test the validity of a criminal conviction or sen tencing to the prison or state institutions, the court may transfer the case to the county in which the original sentence was imposed. Four bills were introduced by the Senate committee on Fiancinal Affairs. Permanently disabled per sons would be accorded an extra $600 exemption in state income taxes under a bill in troduced by Sen. G. D. Glea son (D-Portland). Seven bills introduced by the Senate Tax Committee at the request of the State Tax Commission were mostly tech nical and corrective in nature. SB 48 of this package tight ens penalties for persons fail ing to file complete financial returns to the Tax Commis sion.

Each article is a summary nf an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Mrs. H. V-My husband and I are quite upset about our 20-year-old daughter, Edna. . Last summer we went with her and our younger son to a vacation resort where we planned to spend several weeks. Edna and one of the young musicians there fell for one another at least we thought that was the case. Less than two weeks passed when our son become ill and we had to return home. Edna begged to remain for another week, but we didn't think it was right to leave her by her self. Well, the young musician never got in touch with Edna as he had promised to. Edna has made some attempts through mutual friends to meet him again, but it hasn't worked out. I have tried to convince her. that, the man couldn't have cared very much for her if he could be so easily sidetracked, but Ed na keeps throwing the whole thing into our faces, accusing us of ruining a wonderful chance for marriage. . ' Edna V.-My mother leaves out several important, parts of the story. One is that my pain-in-the-neck kid brother has faked sickness before when he found himself in a place he. didn't like. Another thing is that when ,we got home my parents realized that my brother wasn't nearly as sick as he pretended and they refused to go back to the re sort even though I begged them. The worst part of the whole thing is that my parents put me in a terrible light and, as a matter of fact, completely disgraced me in front of this young man. There were many girls of my age at this resort without their parents. My par ents treated me like a teen ager who' couldn't be left alone. No wonder this man lost interest in me. , I have been dating since I was 13 and I have never be fore felt this way about any one. You would think my par ents would be willing to make one small sacrifice for me just once. Thm Council: It should be evident to any young woman of 20 that in the first place, a meaningful relationship can not be established in less than two weeks. In the second place if there were anything like serious interest on the man's part he certainly wouldn't lose it merely be cause Edna left the resort early. , Far more likely Edna her self created a bad impression by acting like ..a baby. Her lack of concern about her brother's illness (real or fak ed) must have been- abvious. Her petulant struggle with her parents brought out her word side and probably de stroyed whatever possibility there was for her "romance" to survive the summer. It is very clear that Edna is quite backward emotion ally and psychologically and is far from ready for marriage to anyone. Probably she does need to be a lot more inde pendent. Edna will not gain real in dependence merely by going to vacation resorts on her own. She needs experience in deal ing with others on a practical level. Is she is a college stud ent her best opportunity to do this is during vacation per iods. She should gain working experience at that time. If she is not a student she should be working during the year. This will help her gain self- Gana To Exhibit At Oregon Centennial Portland -BPD- The Oregon Centennial Commission said Monday that Ghana is the 19th nation to sign for the In- ternatitonal Trade Fair in Portland next summer.

She will come to recognize that she is responsi ble for her own life and can not foist the blame for her failure on her parents or any one else. (Copyright 1959. General Features Corp.) Democrat Leaders i Not Frightened By Ike's Warning Washington - (DPD - Demo cratic congressional leaders were not frightened today by President Eisenhower's warn ing that they will be blamed if the government continues to spend more than it collects. In the first place, they saw no real hope that the govern-ment-which is now running a record-high peacetime spend ing deficit of $13 billion in the current fiscal year--could actually achieve the $70 'mil lion surplus envisioned in the President's budget for the new fiscal year starting July 1. In the second place, they figured the American people, given a choice, would rather have an unbalanced budget than accept the "austerity" program recommended by the President. Welfare-Spending Bills Challenging Eisenhower to veto them, the Democrats pressed ahead with plans for early congressional action on three welfare-spending bills, any one of which could throw out of kilter the President's new precariously - balanced budget. Two of these measures would provide bigger federal spending for housing pro grams and for economically depressed areas than proposed by the President. The third called for a larger program of federal air for building airports than the President proposed. Key Democrats said Con gress also was likely to pro vide more money for defense, but less for foreign aid, than requested by the President. Plans for Booth Discussed Friday Rogue River-Plans to set up an information booth in the Rogue River area to dis tribute Centennial literature to tourists were discussed at an organizational meeting for Centennial affairs in the area Friday. Also discussed were plans for a game meat dinner to be held June 20 in conjunction with the annual Rooster crowing contest. Several more historic sites will be located and marked with the infor mation to be added to printed literature, those at the meet ing were told. Speaker was "Jack Creager, president of the Centennial association. Chairman of the Centennial activities in Rogue River is Max Thayer.

The fast-moving House read nine tax bills for the first time at the request of the State Tax Commission. Important tax bills: HB 85: Levies a gross in come tax of 1 per cent on earnings of seasonal agricul ture workers with no person al exemptions, deductions of credits allowed. This would be in lieu of a personal' in come tax levy. HB 87: Provides for a $5 collection charge on delin quent income taxs and auth orizes the Tax Commission to waive collection of tax bills of $1 or less. Other Bills HB 88: Eliminates require ments of a taxpayer to show good cause in asking for an extension of time for' filing tax returns and increases the interest on extended taxes from 6 to 12 per cent a year. HB 91: Repeals the tax on music and amusement devices. The Committee on Fish and Game introduced a bill HB 98 which would allow the governor to extend hunting seasons if he delays their op ening because of fire danger in the forests. The committee also recom mended in HB 100 that the State Game Commission and Fish Committee be combined in one agency with two di visions, one for birds and an imals and the other for fish. It requests $20,000 to pay for the merger. Snider's Motion On Centennial Business Tabled Portland -(DPD-The conces sion committee, composed of three of nine Oregon Centen nial Commission members, had its powers back today after turning over what it termed a "dramatic sample" of its problems to the full Commission for decision. John Snider of Medford, one of the cpmmissioners, suggested Monday that pow ers of the concession commit tee be returned to the full commission. The concession group then turned over to the Commission a request from the Northern Speciality Sales Company that it be al lowed to put out a kit contain ing Centennial stamps, but tons, stickers and a decal. Approval Granted ' After a long discussion which at times became heated, the full Commission granted its approval-subject to an okay from women's clubs in volved. First,: however, the Commission wanted to know the cost of the kits which will sell for about $2. It was told the cost would be about 77 cents. The Commission will get 50 cents and the women's clubs 50 cents on each kit sold. The firm Dlans to sell about 100,000 kits. Therefore, the women's clubs and the Commission would make about $50,000 each and the firm $23,000. After the debate the Com mission tabled Snider's mo tion. It added the only power the concession committee has is to permit use of the copy righted Centennial seal. This Should Get Prompt Attention Indianapolis, Ind. -TPD-Cecil Braun, 19, a newspap er carrier, wrote an open letter to the state Senate Monday urging creation of a governor's youth council and warning: "The juvenile delinquent of today is the senator or xeptsentativ of tomorrow. High Adventure Telecast Said 'Pretty Punka Punka7 By WILLIAM EWALD New York (DPD High Ad venture, a one hour CBS-TV travel series, delivered its third install m e n t of the season and it proved to be a scrawny 60 minutes. Last Octo ber, a group of s c i e ntists shipped out to the P a c i fic William EwaU island of Puka Puka for IGY, , who is, t of course, the educated brother of Izzy. The object of the sci entists was to film a solar eclipse and the object of the accompanying CBS-TV cam era crew was to film the scientists. Unfortunately, shooting sci entists is not nearly as enter taining on TV as shooting, say, Indians, and as a result the hour seemed stretched thin to the point of flimsiness. Peek at Ceremonies Among the show's duller pieces of padding, I would in clude an irrelevant trip to a Honolulu nightclub, a peek at initiation ceremonies aboard a ship when it crossed the Equator, a group of speeches by natives in Puka Puka, and a group of speeches by scien tists in semi-scientistese. .
