I Parents from as far away as Labor-Management Ties Due Study Salem - lUPl) - Sen. Harry Boivin (D-Klamath Fa 1 1 s), chairman of the Interim Com mittee on Labor-Management Relations, said Saturday the Committee's meeting in Port land next Friday will deal with further study of a pro posed bill for a new program of labor-management relations in Oregon. The legislation has been utv der consideration for quite some time. Leading off the discussion will be Portland attorneys Donald S. Richardson and William F. Lubersky. Vote for Kennedy Said Vote for Tax Spokane-IUPl) - Secretary of Interior Fred A. Scaton, en route to a mock political con vention at Washington State University, said Friday a vote for Sen. John F. Kennedy is a vote to increase taxes. Scaton told a press confer ence here that Kennedy said he favored taxes and spend ing after winning the West Virginia primary. Scaton said he was not a candidate for vice president on the Republican ticket, ad ding, "It is unlikely the con vention would settle on me lor vice president." Even then it will be a tight squeak to get any action on the project at this session," Porter added. "I have a bill ready to file, however, and I'll file it as soon as the re port arrives at the Capitol. If it does prove to be too late for action this year, it will be ready for action early in the next Congress." The bureau of reclamation now estimates the total cost of Agate dam and its various c;ina!s and other related con struction at $1,802,000. The benefil-to-cost ratio "is excel lent," estimated at 3.49 to 1 over a 100 year period, the congressman said, or 2.76 to 1 over a 50-year period. Earmarked For Recreation About 820,000 is earmarked for recreation facilities at the reservoir and S27.100 for fish facilities in connection with the dam. Stored water would be used to irrigate 1,810 acres of presently dry land, Porter said. Referring to Mail Tribune's Washington correspondent A. Robert Smith's report of April 13, Porter said he has not in troduced the Agate dam bill. "I have said I would intro duce it when the reclamation bureau's report is complete but I have said I will not press for hearings and action this year, even if there is time, unless 1 am convinced that the local support is so overwhelm ing that there will be no ap preciable harm to the Rogue basin project," the congress man explained. "In view of my rather complex position it is no wonder Mr. Smith may have been misled. I only make this correction in the inter est of accuracy." Myrtle Creek are expected to attend the meeting, she said. Parents of visually handi capped children are invited to all sessions although their children may not he attending the school for the blind. Friday Program The Friday program starts at 7 p.m., and includes explo ration of attitudes about blind n e s s, expectations of the school by the parents, closer cooperation between parents and the school and a film showing school activities.
