As the Malheur senator started to hand the bird to Francis, is took flight and lodged itself on the steps lead ing to the president's rost rum. Sergeant at Arms Vern Dra ger, said that he would call in doorkeepers and other em ployees in an attempt to cap ture the "duckbird" after the Vacu-Flo Distributor Appointed for Area Taylor Sheet Metal comp any, Medford, recently assum ed the distributorship for Vacu-Flo cleaning system for the southern Oregon, north ern California area.

Hatfield Making Washington Rounds Salem -(UPD- Gov. Mark Hat field was in Washington, D.C. this week end for a visit with President Eisenhower and for talks with the Oregon Con gressional delegation. The Legislature adjourned Friday for the week end after 61 days in session. Before he left, Hatfield told United Press International he had no plans at this time eith er to address or to send any special messages to the Legis lature. Hatfield said that through his assistants and agency heads, he was in constant touch with legislators and the committee actions. . Every Monday morning, there is also a caucus of all Republican legislators which Hatfield attends. 'Very Short Sighted' The governor said he thought it was "very short sighted" of the house to de feat his capital gains tax pro posal in the House Friday. The Hatfield proposal was linked with a two-cent a pack cigarette tax and a 10 per cent tax on other tobacco pro ducts. This would have raised seven million dollars a bi ennium to help defray the loss of revenue caused by add ing a capital gains provision to the income tax structure. When asked if. he thought capital gains had a chance without the cigarette tax at tached, Hatfield said "I would be very interested to know how the slack would be taken up until the capital gains provision starts creat ing more jobs and bringing in more revenue." Talk With Ike While in Washington, Hat field expected to talk with Eisenhower about Green Pe ter dam, the Portland drydock facility and the Yaquma Bay project. He also planned to discuss Oregon problems with Reps. Walter Norblad, Edith Green and Al Ullman. Last night he was to attend the '"Gridiron" dinner of the Washington press corps as a guest of columnist Roscoe Drummond. This morning the governor planned to breakfast with Sen. Richard L. Neuberger. No meeting with Sen. Wayne Morse has been set. The governor said he plans to ask President Eisenhower to come to Oregon to take part in the dedication of The Dalles dam.

SP 3-6241 The meeting was called to talk about the air-pollution problem in this area, and what can be done regarding the problem. Sampling Stations Gerow and Agee set up the sampling stations which start ed taking samples of the air Friday. The sampling would cover ( Medford and fringe areas such as from the airport to Rogue Valley hospital and to Griffin Creek, according to reports. The citizens committee will await the findings to be re vealed in six months to see if the situation warrants an alarm, Dr. Merkel said. Sam pling should reveal the nat ural contributors to the fall out, he said. Following the sampling re sults further study might be made to see what can be done to eliminate any mismanage ment of operations which might cause air pollution, JDr. Merkel said. The engineers said the cur rent study is concerned with understanding the pollution situation in this area and not with setting up control meas ures. Purpose of the study is to evaluate the primary prob lems of smoke and soot, they noted. Gerow observed that "the Rogue valley contains no concentrations of highly toxic materials" as far as he knows. Springtime Study Possibility of a special springtime study on the ef fects of crop dusting and orchard spraying would only follow requests in writing from physicians who believe these practices may consti tute a public danger and war rant full-scale investigation, Gerow said Drieviouslv. The joint city-state study was agreed to by the Medford city council Jan. 2, after a pre liminary sampling last Octo ber. State technicians will evaluate the sampling results. Mrs. Bosworth called the meeting Thursday after writ ing a letter to Gerow. She stated in her letter that a group of citizens wanted wood waste burners and steam plants fired by hog fuel sam pled separately. It is impor tant, too, that it be deter mined what spray residues are in the atmosphere and how much orchard heating adds to the air during the season, she added. New Possibilities A spokesman for the pear industry here said, "We should keep in mind that the industry is here and that orchard heating is needed to keep it in operation. In con sidering air pollution we should not go off half-cocked, New possibilities are on the horizon to possibly lessen air pollution from orchard heaters." "The industry will do any thing and everything to lessen air pollution," the spokesman said In the development stage is a new type of orchard heat er which has a long horizontal stack, possibly 20 feet long, the pear industry spokesman said. This spreads smoke over a larger area within the pot and burns the soot before it reaches the end. "Any desire to control air pollution should be keyed to the area's economic situa tion," the pear industry man added. "The return stack heat er is not the current answer. Costs of these heaters is ter rific, they burn tremendous amounts of oil and do not put out as much heat as other types of heaters." A h.mber industry spokes man emphasized utilization of waste products is the key to j possible air pollution from wood burner stacks. Invisible air pollution is much more dangerous than the visible and concentrated smoke from the wood-burner stacks, an other lumber industry spokes man said. Invisible air pollu tion would include oil-burners, gas-burners, trucks, buses and automobiles.
