Mailorder Alligator
Proves Too Much; Law
Officers Are Called
Monrovia, Calif. (UPD Mrs.
Carol Benedictus' new mail
order "pet" alligator was
more than a little perturbed.
The 18-inch reptile had
been confined in a 3-by-6 inch
box in a Postal trin frnm Kfiv
Orleans to this Los Angeles
suburb. When Mrs. Benedictus
opened the package Monday
she received anything but a
cordial greeting. The 'gator
sprang out, jaws clacking.
"He snapped at me - you
know, getting up on his legs
in a defensive position," said
Mrs. Benedictus. "I tried to
corner him with a larger box,
but I couldn't.
"It finally chased me up on
top of a table."
Mrs. Benedictus bided her
time. When she thought she
could make it to the telephone
without being nibbled at by
the alligator, she jumped from
the table top and called sher
iff's deputies.
Intrepid deputies soon cor
raled the 'gator and placed it
in a large pan containing some
water. The alligator quickly
stretched out and went to
sleep.
But Mrs. Benedictus' day of
surprises wesn't over yet.
When she had given the mail
order firm $6 during a recent
trip to New Orleans to send
her the reptile, she thought
the firm would place in the
box whatever change she had

Kennedy Urged To
Broaden Program
New York-WI'll - President
elect John F. Kennedy was
urged Tuesday to broaden even
further plans for medical care
for the aged under social se
curity to bring in 14.5 mil
lion persons at an annual cost
of about $1 billion.
A task force headed by Dr.
Wilber J. Cohen, professor of
public welfare administration
at the University of Michigan
recommended legislation
which would go considerably
beyon the Kennedy-Anderson
bill which failed of passage in
Congress last year.
The $1 billion program
would be financed by increas
ing social security withhold
ing taxes by one half of 1
per cent-one-fourth of one per
cent to be paid by the em
ployer and one-fouth by the
employee.

House Minority Leader F.

said today he looked for con
tinued cooperation with Dem

got only one House committee
chairmanship out of 20.
He said despite this he felt
Republicans won a net gain
in committee power over the
last session.
Gov. Mark Hatfield's plan
for tighter food and liquor re
strictions in bars will "drive

the legislature proposed add

Two weeks ago Belton
joined Secretary of State

cizing Hatfield's cabinet gov

elimination of the State Board
of Control.
Belton said Hatfield's mes

Pearson Not Sold
On Proposal
Salem- ll!PH -Sen. Walter
Pearson, D-Portland, says he
is "nol too much sold" on
Gov. Mark Hatfield's pro
posal to do away with the
acting governor w h e n the
governor is out of the slate.
As Senate president during
the last two years, Pearson
served "about 146 days" as
acting governor while Hat
field traveled.
The governor's recommen
dation lo eliminate such a
job came in his message to
the legislature Monday.
"In Ihese days of modern
communication and transpor
t a t i o n," Hatfield declared,
"there is no more need for a
temporary governor than
Ihere is for a temporary presi
dent." Pearson said he felt it was
important to have an acting j
governor available during the I
governor's absence.
A spokesman for the gov
ernor said the proposal was1
"in no way" based on person
alities or previous actions of
acting governors. He said Hat
field fell the $50 daily salary
paid to the acting governor
was an unnecessary expense
for the stale.
Pearson also said he op
posed a proposal by Hatfield
to make the secretary of state
next in line of succession lo
the governor, instead of the
Senate presidenl.
