Tours of Hospital
Scheduled Friday
Tours of Rogu Valley hos
pital will be offeredbetween
1:30 and 4 p.m. Friday dur
ing the annual tea and open
house scheduled in recogni
tion of National - Hospital
week, Charles I. Gustafson,
administrator, said today.
Theme for National Hos
pital Week, which is being
observed this week, is "More
Roads to Recovery."
Gustafson noted that Rogue
Valley hospital spends an
average of $35 for the care
of each patient, and that medi
cal and scientific advances in
recent years have had an
enormous impact on hospital
costs.
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.
Average Number of Days
Gustafson said the average
number of days a patient
spends in Rogue Valley hos
pital is five, which is three
days fewer than it - was 10
years ago. The patient re
turns home sooner as a re
sult of modern care, but, the
administrator pointed out,
since the patient receives
more services than before in
a shorter time, the hospital
costs are concentrated rather
than spread out over a longer
period.
The hospital last year
handled 1,500 emergency
cases, and a total of vou
babies were delivered there.
Gustafson said the number
of employees on the regular

total of 90,000 -meals, one-
third of them "special diets;
were served.
Small hospitals, he said,
offer services that were un
known in even great medical
centers a few years ago. Hos
pitals have been able to make
dramatic use of labor-saving
equipment common in other
areas. Modern medicine re-
ouired talents of more and
more individuals.

said about 72 per cent of the
hospital's costs today are for

he said, and refreshments
will be served in the board

"political test" of individuals
seeking government jobs.
Income Limitations Lifted
3. Remove limitations on
the amount of income received
by persons who receive social
security benefits.
4. Close loopholes which
permit miners or mining com
panies to cut excessive
amounts , of federal timber
growing on mining claims and
patents. Similar legislation
was prepared by Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) .
He said he felt "older but
equally competent workmen"
deserved equal opportunity.
Porter said he discovered
during the 85th Congress that
at least one government
agency had a "political test"
in operation. He said it had
been removed but that he re
introduced his bill to make
sure no "new tests" were
forthcoming.
Felt Inadequate
Porter said he felt the S1200
earning limitation for social
security recipients was in
adequate and should be re
moved.
He said the bill relating to
mining claims was first intro
duced in the 85th Congress.
The bill would allow persons
who locate mineral deposits
on national forest land to oc
cupy and use the surface to
the extent necessary to carry
out prospecting and develop
ment work.

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.
