Senate Approves
Expense Increase
For Legislators
Joint Resolution
Sent To House
Salem - fliPD - The Oregon
Senate late Monday approved
and sent to the House a joint
resolution providing legisla
tors with up to $75 a month
expense money during a ses
sion and up to SI 50 a month
between sessions.
Except tor interim commit
tee members, iegisiators now
get no expense money tor
legislative duties. Year-around
claims would be limited to
such items as postage and
secretarial costs for official
legislative business.
The money would be paid
only when a legislator filed a
signed statement giving de
tails of individual out-of-pocket
expenses.
House approval also is ex
pected, although some Repub
licans do not favor the plan.
Adjourned Today
The session, its organization
problems settled, stood ad
journed today for a day-long
joint orientation conference
on law making procedures.
Sixteen speakers described
such things as how to enact a
bill, rules, and a typical com
mittee hearing. The confer
ence, first of its kind, is ex
pected to be especially help
lul to new legislators.
Both houses reconvene at
10 a.m. Wednesday.
Legislators reacted quickly
to Gov. Mark Hatfield's Mon
day afternoon message and
generally they were compli
mentary. Basic approval of
Hatfield's ideas came from
Senate President Harry Boi
vin (D-Klamath Falls) and
House Speaker Robert Duncan
(D-Medford).
Straub OK's Massage
A major Hatfield critic, Sen.
Robert Straub D-Eugene) said
he was "surprised" to find he
is not at odds with any of
Hatfield's message.
The Oregon Democratic
chairman added he hopes Hat
field will now exercise "full
powers'' of his office to get
needed legislation through.
No bills were introduced in
the Senate Monday and only
one in the House. This deals
with a proposed slate uniform
commercial code and simpli
fies various laws affecting
business.
Both houses approved reso
lutions hiking pay of key
legislative employees. The in
creases range from S2 to S5 a
day. The chief clerk in each
house will now get S27 a day,
and salaries of other desk
workers are graduated.
Navy Fires Polaris

Cape Canaveral, Fla. - MP1 -The
Navy today successfully

laris missile 1.600 statute
miles over the Atlantic Ocean

The missile's nose cone car
ried hundreds of pounds of
instruments to study perform
ance of an improved propul
sion system and lightweight
upper stage designed to push
the Polaris' range to 1,725
statute miles eventually.
There were no plans to re
cover cither the nose cone or
its instruments.

MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1961
"Oh, No, You Wouldn't Would You?"
Water Supply Said
To Be 'Improved'
The 1961 irrigation water,
supply outlook in Rogue-Ump-
qua watershed is considerably i
improved over the skimpy out-;
look of a year ago, W. T.
Frost, snow survey super
visor for U.S. Department o
Agriculture, soil conserva
tion service, Oregon Agricul
tural experiment station and
and state engineer, said today
in his report.
He added that the supply
is still below average.
Water content of the moun
tain snow cover is 28 per cent
below average for Jan. 1, but
is more than double that of
last year at this date, especial
ly at the higher elevations.
Maximum accumulation of
snow on local watersheds is
usually reached by April 1,
Frost said. In an average year.
3 Republicans
Resign Positions
The Jackson county Repub
lican Central committee will
meet at 7:30 p.m. Monday,
Jan. 23, to elect three of four
key committee officers. Chair
man Joe Walsh said this
morning.
Walsh recently announced
his plans to resign the chair
manship, but the resignations
of Mrs. James Ragland as vice
chairman and E. H. Singmas
ter as secretary came without
advance notice at the commit
tee's board meeting yesterday
noon in the Mcdford hotel.
Mrs. Ragland's resigna t i o n
was effective yesterday. The
resignation of Singmasicr and
Waisli will become effective
Jan. 23, Walsh said.
The resignations tame as
no great surprise to observers
who have noted a split in the
official party organization
here starting a few months
before the election, and cli
maxed by the difficulty be
tween the county court and
the Republican central com
mittee chairman over the
number of candidates pro
posed for the state senate ap
pointment. Later, however, the county
court and Walsh termed the
disagreement between 1hcm as
a misunderstanding.
Walsh said the nominating
committee has named Otto
Ewaldsen and Tom Hclman
as candidates for the parly
chairmanship here. Since the
other two resignations were
unexpected, candidates for
those positions will have to be
named later, he said

about 37 per cent of the total
winter's "snow crop" is on
the ground by Jan. 1. This
year current snow surveys in
dicate the 25 per cent level
has been reached.
Frost stated that the moun
tain watershed soils are un
usually wet, principally be
cause of the heavy rains in
late November and early De
cember.
Fall precipitation, from Sep
tember through November,
was just slightly over the 15
year average with one half
of it measured In November.
But winter precipitation, be
ginning Dec. 1, has been only
80 per cent of average,
cording to reports from the
U.S. weather bureau.
Stored water for the Med
ford Irrigation district, held
m Fish lake and Fourmne
lake, is 43 per cent of the
average for this date and 75
per cent of the amount avail
able last year on Jan. 1.
The three reservoirs storing
water for use by the Talent
Irrigation district, Emigrant
Gap, Hyatt and Howard Prair
ie, contain water totaling 85
per cent of average for the
date and 188 per cent of the
amount available last year on
Jan. 1.
Frost added that water sup
plies for irrigating may be
short this summer unless un
usually heavy storms are ex
perienced to change the out
look.
Stream Flow
Flow of southern Oregon
streams is expected to be
somewhat below the average
this spring and summer, un
less storm patterns favor the
accumulation of heavy
amounts of snow.
Flow of the Rogue River
at Gold Ray has averaged 67
per cent of the 1943-1957 nor
mal since Oct. 1. The Decem
ber flow was only 54 per cent
of average, according to the
U.S. Geological survey.
Statewide, the early winter
outlook for Oregon's 1961 wa
ter supplies range from "near
average to fair, rrost sain.
Reservoir storage is far be
low norma! again this year,
but the mountain snow pack
is better than last year al
though still one-third below
normal.

Benglson Trial
Resumes After
Week End Recess
Defense Questions
Rachel P. Carter
Grants - Pass-Mrs. Raehael
Peterson Carter, former presi
dent of the Medford Escrow
company, continued her testi
mony this morning in the O.
H. Bengtson trial in Josephine
county circuit court.
Bengtson is charged with
embezzling $1,700 from the
company.
Mrs. Carter, during cross
examination today by Rich
ard Carney, Portland, one o
the defense attorneys, review
ed her jobs with the company
and Bengtson and described
bookkeeping methods used for
both.
She testified that Bengtson
had instructed her to sign
her name as president of the
Escrow company when some
forms needed to be filled out.
She said that she had
planned to buy the company
from Bengtson, who had set
a price of $4,500 for the
firm. She testified that she
had paid him 52,600 "by late
19ao towards its purchase,
but she said she "had not one
slip of paper" in exchange
for her money.
Mrs. Carter said she con
sidered herself the company
owner for about three months.
although no official naners
bad been drawn up. She add
ed that Bengtson told her
"not to deny ownership o
the company."
Referring to a $1,700 check
that she had written on the
Escrow company's general ac
count, Mrs. Carter said that
when the check was written
she knew that a loan Bengtson
was expecting to receive on
some insurance policies "was
only a drop in the bucket"
where the shortages in the
accounts were concerned.
Asked if siie had planned Id
advance Bengtson the money,
she said "no" that she had
already put $3,800 of her
money In the company and
that was ail the money she
bad.
Called prior to the noon
recess was Pete Ruef, Med
ford, an employee of the First
National Bank of Oregon, :
Medford branch. His test!-:
mony concerned identification
of signature cards and bank
statements of both the Med
