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.

"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 memorial would have

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.

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.

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

"How To Play With Your

With delinquent teen-agers
a recognized problem in our
modern society, parents may
be interested in better under

works as "How To Live With

Barucri; "Youth: the Years
From Ten to Sixteen", by
Arnold Gesell; "Understand

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.
