Salary Increase Hearings Slated Salem (UPD A tentative plan to increase salaries of Oregon state employees by $4,700,000 in the two-year period starting July 1 was an nounced Monday. The Oregon Civil Service Commission said it would hold a public hearing June 18-19. The plan calls for sal ary increases ranging from $20 to $25 a month. They would go mainly to technical, professional and supervisory employees. The Commission said the scale of lower-paid jobs now was competitive to what is paid in private industry. Any pay plan must be ap proved by the State Emer gency - Board, composed of legislators. The 1959 Legislature ap proved $2,500,000 for salary increases in departments which are subject to legisla tive appropriations. There al so is that much money avail able for wage hikes in de partments which produce their own revenue, such as the Game and Highway Com missions. Sacked Buys Coos Bay Hotels .

Solons Lead Cut The win, Fisher's second straight over Sacramento, narrowed the Solons' lead over second place San Diego to 2Vi games. The Padres were idle, as was Salt Lake City. In other games, Vancouv er belted 16 hits off a trio of Spokane moundsmen for an 11-5 win, and Seattle outlast ed Portland, 7-5. Pinch-hitter Hal Bevan con nected for a grand-slam horn' er in the eighth inning to break a 3-3 deadlock and give Seattle the win. Elmer Valo was safe on an error, Eric Rodin singled and Ed Win- ceniak walked to set the stage for Bevan's shot. The Beavers came back with two runs in the bottom of the same inning but were unable to bridge the gap left by Bevan s four-bagger. Heayy Hitting Ron Hansen and Marv Breeding paced Vancouver's attack against Spokane. Han sen belted a homer and three singles to drive in three runs, while Breeding collected a pair of doubles and a single to send home four more run ners.
