Amendments To Vocational Education Salem (LTD A number of amendments have been adopt ed by the Senate Education Committee to a bill providing for establishment of educa tional areas in Oregon for vo cational eductaion. But there appeared a chance the bill wouldn't be reported out fav orably. Two members of the Com mittee, Sens. Donald Husband (R-Eugene) and Ward Cook (D-Portland) said they were more in favor of a bill setting up procedures for establishing community colleges. Sen. William A. Grenfell Jr. (D-Portland) said he also had some objections to the educational area bill. Adult Classes Approved However, Sen. Monroe Sweetland (D - Milwaukie), chairman of the Committee, asked members to consider the amendments after which, he said, they could return to the question of disposal of the bill. The Committee took no defi nite action on establishing the proposed 15 educational areas in the state, this also being deferred until amendments adopted at the meeting can be printed and studied. One amendment the com mittee agreed upon would in clude classes in the education al centers for adults who are no longer subject to the com pulsory school attendance law. Another amendment would require that no educational district would be established if the property within the dis trict had a true cash value of less than S75 million. Multnomah Exempt School District No. 1 in Multnomah county would be exempt from tne terms of the act as would certain territory in Clackamas and Washington counties which are in what is now termed School District No. 16. Following the meeting, Hus band said Senate bill 165, which is a product of the In terim Committee on Educa tion, would do the job better. This bill would provide the method by which community colleges, such as the Central Oregon Community College in Bend, could be set up. The committee meets again Friday. Two members of the Com mittee on Veterans Affairs questioned the legal right of acting Adjutant General Rob ert L. Irving to remain on the job in the face of an attorney general's opinion that the Oregon military code does not provide for the position he is filling. Ahrens Objects Grenfell and G. D. Gleason, Portland Democrats, joined in questioning the position while Sen. Ed Ahrens (R-Turner) ob jected on the grounds that Col. Irving was holding his job under orders of Gov. Marki Hatfield, commander in chief of the military forces of the state. ,hmm.-m.,M.V 1- J pi 1 Tl wmrnmmmmmmmmm mfmm " ;.v, WJ?

"Don't you know that in Oregon an attorney general's opinion has the force and effect of law until it has been tested in the courts?" Sen. Gleason asked Irving. "I -m not an attorney," Irving replied, "I am follow ing the orders of Gov. Hat field. Gleason said "for the pur pose of the record, I wish to state that I feel you are hold ing the post of acting adjutant general illegally since the date of the attorney general's opin ion. Chairman Grenfell con curred in Gleason's statement while Ahrens declared that he did not think the Senate had any power to question the legal status of Irving in hold ing his present post. The committee had just concluded consideration of a new military code when the question of Irving's legal right to his job came up. The attorney general's opin ion held that while the gov ernor had the clear power to appoint an adjutant general, there was no provision in Ore gon law for an acting adjutant general. Ifving was appointed fol lowing the death of Adjutant General Thomas E. Rilea. Centennial Funds A bill authorizing counties to appropriate money up to one mill on the true cash value of property in the coun ty to promote the Oregon Cen tennial was sent to the gov ernor. The measure would make it "permissive" to tax up to one mill and county courts could mak the appropriation if they found they had the funds and were desirous of doing so. With only one dissenting vote, the Senate adopted a resolution providing for a sal ary of $1,500 a year for mem bers of the Legislature. If passed by the House, the question of the increase would go to voters at the next gen eral election. They are now paid $600 a year. Sen. Francis Ziegler (R Corvallis) was the only mem ber who voted against the resolution. A resolution directing the State Board of Higher Educa tion to establish a graduate school of social work was in troduced.

The Game Committee again sent to the floor of the upper chamber a bill to permit game bird hunting preserves. It withheld any recommendation on the measure. The House - approved bill ran into opposition on the Sen ate floor several days ago and was returned to the Commit tee. The Committee first had recommended its passage. The Senate voted 20-7 for a bill to tax farm land adjacent to cities only on a basis of its use in a gricultural produc tion instead of as a potential urban development area. 53rd Year Medford Price 1 0 Cents Tribune 2nd SECTION MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18 1959 Pages 1-6 Needs of Youngsters Subject of Many New Books Available at County Library The needs of today's young sters - whether they involve physical well-bing or emotion al security-have been the sub ject of numerous recently published books, according to Librarian Helen Webester. Miss Webster reported that many of these publications are available at the Jackson County library and are always in great demand, but espe cially so during the current observance of National Chil dren's Week, March 16-22. Several works which dis cuss the general problems and perplexities of raising chil dren may be found in the library. Some of these are Dr. Spock's famous book, "Com mon Sense Book of Baby and Child Care"; Sidonie Gruen berg's "Parents Guide to Everyday Problems of Boys and Girls"; and Winifred De Kok's "You and Your Child". For the solicitous parent there are helpful manuals es pecially dealing with chil dren's health: John Hender son's "Parents Guide to Chil dren's Illnesses" and "First Aid for Your Infant and Child", by .Eric Northrup. In the event that illness does strike, suggestions for morale boosting may be found in Cornelia P a r k e r's "Your Child Can Be Happy in Bed" and "How To Help the Shut in Child", by Margery Mc Mullin. Special Concern Frequently a child's emo tional problems are of special concern to his parents, in which case Helen Moak's new book "The Troubled Child" may be helpful. Other recent titles on this subject are "The Parents Handbook", by Allan Fromme; "The Jealous Child", by Edward Podolsky; and "Helping Your Child's Emo tional Growth", by Anna Wolf. Special problems of handi capped, retarded ,or gifted children are taken up in other recently -. published books: "The Cerebral-Palsied Child", by Winthrop Phelps; "Educat ing the Sub-Normal Child", by Frances Lloyd; "Common Sense About Gifted Children", by Willard Abraham; and "Our Backward Children", by Karl Heiser. Family recreation plays an important role in the life of both parent and -child, and with this in mind the Jackson County library has, according Daylight Saving To Be Proposed Salem-(UPD-Rep. F. F. Mont gomery (R-Eugene) wants day light saving time to go into ef fect in Oregon for this Centen nial year. Montgomery said he plan ned to propose a plan to the House Planning and Develop ment Committee under which the emergency clause would be put on the daylight time bill. This would put it into ef fect when and if it were passed and signed by the gov ernor. He said he also would I ask permission to introduce a companion bill to submit the time question to voters in No vember of 1960. He said the quantity of cor respondence favoring daylight time and testimony at an earlier hearing had convinced him most people wanted fast time this year. He said the bill bearing the emergency clause would be amended to expire on the last Sunday of Septemr ber of next year, a little more than a month before the No vember election. Montgomery said that both opponents and proponents of daylight time then would have a chance to see it in operation. WfrMililpo (333333 LOW LIFE THIEVES London -OJPD- Police said today that the thieves who broke into Les Ambassadeurs, one of London's smartest nightclubs, apparently "were not men of the world." They said the thieves smoked cigars without removing the bands and opened a bottle of bur gundy by pushing the cork down with a screwdriver. In less than an hour, a typ ical hurricane expends more energy than the amount of electric power produced in the United States in 50 years. to the librarian, added to its collection such recent publi cations as Ruth Hartley's "The Complete Book of Children's Play", June Johnson's "Home Play for the Pre - School Child", Frances Horwich's "Have Fun With Your Chil dren" and Arnold Arnold's "How To Play With Your Child". With delinquent teen-agers a recognized problem in our modern society, parents may be interested in better under standing their own adolescent through such enlightening works as "How To Live With Your Teen-Ager", by Dorothy Barucri; "Youth: the Years From Ten to Sixteen", by Arnold Gesell; "Understand ing Girls", by Clarence G. Moser; and "The Adolescent and His World", by Irene Josselyn. Miss Webster reported that any of the books may be ob tained at the Jackson County library headquarters in Med ford or, by request, through the library branches. SEARCH LUXURY LINER New York (LTD FBI agents, U. S. customs inspectors and reported Scotland Yard men swarmed aboard the liner Queen Elizabeth in quarantine Monday and searched it close ly. Officials refused to com ment but it was reported they were looking for $420,000 worth of jewels stolen from Lady Norah Docker's locked Rolls Royce last week in Southampton, England. A customs spokesman said noth ing unusual was found. Greenland's ice cap,' in some places more than 10,000 feet thick, covers 700,000 square miles. Farmers living near cities have objected to tax assessors looking ahead to the time when farms might be turned into lots, although the Tax Commission usually follows the principle of taxing land for use to which it is being put. Sen. Walter C. Leth (R West Salem) said some truck farmers in eastern Multnomah county had taxes increased by a chain store's purchase of a site in the neighborhood, even though farmers were going ahead with their regular pro duce production. A bill was passed to restrict motorboat speed on part of North Fork Reservoir in Clackamas county and oh Lake Simtustus behind Pelton dam in Deschutes county. The bill goes to the House. The measure would leave large areas open to water skiers. The restricted area on the North Fork reservoir would be upstream from a line 2.3 miles from the dam. The restricted area on Lake Sim tustus would be upstream from a line .85 mile from Pel ton dam. The Judiciary Committee voted to table a bill which would outlaw rodeo roping contests. It had been intro duced by Sen. Jean Lewis (D Dulles To Decide On Job by April 6 Washington -(UPD- Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, scheduled to leave the hos pital within a week, is ex pected to decide by April 6 whether he will remain in President Eisenhower's cabi net. Massive radiation treatments of his abdominal cancer will end in a few days. But State Department sources said Dulles probably would stay at Walter Reed Army hospital through the week end. These sources said he prob ably go to some "warm, sunny place" for two additional weeks of rest before making a decision. Indications were that Dulles' physicians would wait until then to give a diagnosis of whether his month of treat ment had arrested the cancer. This timetable appeared to eliminate participation by Dulles in a conference of Western foreign ministers here the first week of April on the Berlin situation. Dulles will not join Eisen hower and British Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan for talks beginning Friday at Camp David, Md. But Macmil lan is expected to call on Dulles here, either before or after the Camp David conference.
