Last year, 5,000 persons were admitted to Rogue Val ley hospital, he pointed out, The total is 1,500 more than were admitted 10 years ago. There were 35,000 laboratory tests performed and 8,000 X-rays taken last year at Rogue Valley.

Veto of Logging Truck Bill Rapped By Union Official Portland (UPD The direc tor of political education for the Oregon AFL-CIO has charged that Gov. Mark Hat field's veto of a bill involving logging trucks favored inter ests of a big lumber company over those of small business men. The measure would have required log trucks to have certificates of convenience and necessity from the public utility commissioner. Only, Opportunity George Brown, the labor official, said the bill ''would have provided the only op portunity the small business man who owns 'oneor two log trucks had to obtain an income that would have pro vided him at least a decent standard of living. . Brown said that during hearings on the bill many small business men produced records showing that at pre sent log hauling rates they were getting as little as $3500 a year return on their invest ment. "There was indisput able proof that these people were actually living off the depreciation of their trucks," he said. Wanted Present System Brown said "it is very significant that the only real objection to this bill came from the Georgia Pacific Lum ber Company . . ." He said the firm wished to retain the pre sent system of contract haul ing "for they find it cheaper than to own their own trucks and do their own hauling." Proponents of the bill in the Legislature said it was in tended for protection against cut-rate competition by Wash ington and California log haulers who come, to Oregon during slack times in their own seasons.
