Self-Sgrvjcing
Cars May After
Service Stations
New York -(UPB- That great
landmark of our times - the
roadside automobile service
station - may be on the way
out.
n may De replaced by a
tore that sells gasoline-but
does even more business in
meals and other non-automo
tive merchandising.
There are many reasons for
this, r irst, there is the immi
nent arrival of the "service
free auto. Some manufac
turers claim their 1961 models
are almost service free - need
oil changing only every 4,000
miles, greasing only once or
twice a year, for example.
And some of Detroit's ex
perls say that by 1965, new
cars will have virtually all
greaseless bearings - no greas
ing ever necessary. Tires,
mufflers, spark plugs, genera
tor brushes, fan belts, commu
tator points and brake linings
- the parts that service sta
tions have had to replace or
fix most - also are becoming
longer lasting.
Lost Business
Even annual changing of
water and anti-freeze could
become a lost business for the
service stations. Some en
gineers talk of sealed engines
in a few years that can be
taken out of a car in a few
minutes and replaced by a
rental engine - as you do a
battery today. That would
eliminate most of the work
done now by mechanics at
service stations.
Of course, there are plan
ning enthusiasts who peer
farther into the future and
Bay the private auto itself is
going to disappear - that it
will be replaced by fool-proof
renlal air cars that you can
rent any place, with or with'
out driver, and leave almost
any place. They argue that
the parking problem is sure to
kill the privately owned ve-
hide long before the end of
the century.
But the magazine Pctrole-
um Week says change already
is hitting the service stations.
Some are dropping the grease
pit already. New stations are
being designed with the some
what unsightly grease bay
relegated to the back.
The gasoline pumps are
being, put underground with
one pump operating as many
as six hose dispensers.
Vending Machines
To replace the service busi
ness being lost and expected
to be lost in the future, the
major oil companies are ad
vising their franchised service
station operators to put in
vending machines and to tie
tip with other businesses that
will help persuade motorists
to stop and buy gasoline -lunch
counters and gift shops,
or outdoor patio restaurants
' with much more elaborate
lounge facilities than service
stations have had in the past.
The trend is being speeded
up by high costs of keeping
old service stations refurbish
ed. It's getting to be cheaper
in most cases to rebuild en
tirely, rather than modernize.
MEN ARE DELICATE
Chicago - IUPII - A former
president of the American
Heart Association has said
women recover more success
fully from heart attacks than
men, who "maintain their
youthful appetites" without
corresponding physical capac
ity. Dr. Louis M. Katz, ad
dressing a fund drive dinner
ior the Chicago Heart Asso
ciation, said that men, com
pared with women, are "deli
cate prima donnas who don't
know how to live."

Legislative Briefs
Salem - IUPD - A Portland
attorney representing labor
told the House Judiciary com
mittee Thursday that Gov.
Mark Hatfield's veto of a
1959 bill cost millworkers in
Roseburg $16,000 in lost
wages.
The measure, which would
allow liens to be placed on
warehouse lumber, has been
introduced again this session.
The attorney, Sidney Le
zak, took issue with Hatfield's
position that the bill is un
necessary. Lezak said work
ers now lack necessary pro
tection. It was explained that at
present if lumber is in a yard,
the lien law applies but if it
is shifted to a warehouse, the
law no longer is effective.
The proposed lien would pay
salaries of workers should
lumber operators fail to pay.
, House Speaker Robert Dun
can, Medford, said loggers are
now protected by liens on logs
in case of unpaid wages, and
he saw no reason to protect
only these workers and ex
clude mill employees.
Salem - UPII - The Senate
State and Federal Affairs
committee Thursday voted out
do pass" a bill that would
give surviving spouses an op
tion in receiving death bene
fits from the Oregon public
employees retirement fund.
The bill provides thai a
beneficiary could choose be
tween monthly payments or a
lump sum.
Salem - IUPII - A bill to con
struct a $2 million correction
al institution for sex offend
ers within 20 miles of Port
land was introduced Thurs
day by Rep. Mel Gordon (R-
Portland).
If the bill passes, Gordon
said, the proposal would be
referred to the voters in 19H2.
Gordon said the rehabili
tation facility should be built
near Portland because the
metropolitan area contained
the largest percentage of deviates.

support a legislative bill pro

Salem - flJPD - Rep. Richard
Eymann (D-Mohawk) said to
day instead of reducing the
gas tax he would like to see
any extra revenues returned
to local districts.
The money could contrib
ute to property tax relief and
could be used for local roads,
he suggested.
A bill to reduce the gas

Some Medical Bills
Are Now Deductible
Washington IUPI) - Medical
expenses of aged parents are
now fully deductible from
your income tax.
A law passed by Congress
last year permits full deduc
tion of medical expenses of a
person 65 or older who is a
taxpayer's parents and de
pendent. If the taxpayer himself is
65 or older he also may de
duct all of the parents' medi
cal bills which the taxpayer
paid.
Other than these excep
tions, the 3 per cent rule still
stands. A taxpayer must sub
tract 3 per cent of his income
from his medical expenses be
fore deducting them.
Payments for drugs and
medicines must be reduced by
1 per cent of income regard
less of the age of the taxpayer
or his dependents.

Auditor Reviews Organization;
Suggests Five Commissioners
George S t a c e y, auditor
hired by the Jackson county
court, gave an accountants'
views on county government
needs to the home rule study
committee last night in the
public Library of Medford
and Jackson county.
He offered several sug
gestions. Thev include:
(1) A five-member county
commission with higher sal
aries for members, (2) appoin
tive department heads under
direct control of the county
commission, (3) a county-wide
purchasing agent, (4) a county
legal counsel, (5) a personnel
system controlled directly by
a county commissioner, (6)
one budget and one tax cover
ing all schools and local gov
ernment units within the
county, and (7) election of all
county officers, including the
county commissioners on a
non-partisan basis.
Analyzes Own Position
Analyzing his own position,
Stacey said he has been hired
as auditor for the county for
about 10 years. There is not
sufficient auditing work to
have a full-time county audi
tor, he said.
"County government is big
business now and requires
five commissioners to handle
it. Each commissioner should
be responsible for certain
phases of county government,
One man, for instance, would
be in charge of personnel
which would be governed on
a merit system, Stacey ex
plained. Each of the county commis
sioners would be elected for
five years under Stacey's pro
posal. One would be elected
each year with balloting done
by mail. In his fifth year, one
commissioner would serve as
chairman.
Budgetary Control
The county court now has
only budgetary control over
various departmental heads,
Stacey explained. He recom
mended higher salaries to at
tract higher caliber men with
certain qualifications set. The
county commission would be
responsible for hiring and fir
ing, but each of the county
officers would report -to only
one supervising commission
er, and not to the entire coun
ty commission, he said.
Stacey expressed opposition
to district representation for
commission members, since
two or more commissioners
could get together to obtain
benefits for their districts
"Now certain girls in
various offices may be doing
the same thing but are paid
on different wage scales. Un
der supervision of one com
missioner, the pay scale should
be unified and perhaps a
work force pool established
so personnel could be shifted
from office to office to meet
peak demands," Stacey sug
gested. Opposes Officer
The auditor opposed estab
lishing an administrative of
ficer since no one man could
handle all phases of county
government and would have
to be paid loo much money.
"I favor one big budget
and one big tax for all the
schools," Stacey emphasized.
"A county unit school admin
istration would be desirable
if it could be worked out," he
noted.
Stacey said it would be im
practicable to unify all water
or irrigation districts because
of personality differences.
Fire districts need equip
ment in each particular area
for immediate use, so unifica
tion of fire districts into one
district would not be practi
cal," he said.
Stacey traced a purchasing
order for a typewriter through-)
county office channels and
also the check to pay for it.
He indicated the present sys
tem provides for a good check
on spending, and doubted if

the system could be unified
or speeded up more.
Unification of treasurer's,
sheriff's tax department and
assessor's offices would only
place checks in the treasurer's
hands five days sooner, he
said.
Purchase in Quantity
A purchasing agent should
buy in quantity for the entire
county, county offices, cities
and schools. In the case of
fuel oil it would mean a big
saving through quantity dis
counts, he noted.
The auditor favored hiring
a lawyer who would be direct
Spinster, Young
Blonde Jailed for
Bank Embezzlement
Shinnston, W. Va.-IDPIi-To
those who knew them, Lucy
Fortney and Jo Ann Stevens
were as unalike as any two
persons could be. Their only
apparent common interest was
a position of trust with the
Bank of Shinnston.
Miss Fortney, a 62-year-old
greying spinster, was reserved
and popular in this northern
West Virginia community of
2,793. She had been with the
bank since its founding in
1932 and became its assistant
cashier. Mrs. Stevens, a book
keeper, is an eye-catching
blonde of 25, the wife of a
coal miner and mother of two
children.
Today they share a common
plight. They occupy adjacent
cells in a Fairmont, W. Va.,
jail facing charges of embez
zlement at the Shinnston
bank. Bank officials say short
ages total almost a quarter
million dollars.
Authorities charged the two
women with separately
dipping into the bank's till
over a period of years. Each
knew what the other was do
ing but they never worked
together, a bank official said.
"They used two different
methods and didn't help each
other," said bank President
Wayne C. Hawker. "I think
that eventually will be
proved."
FBI agents arrested the
women Thursday after exam
iners discovered a shortage of
$244,794.61 in the bank accounts.
Air Cargo Developing
Into Boon to Business
Los Angelcs-HIPD-Air cargo
is developing into a boon for
people who enjoy fancy eating
as well as those who want
to avoid the cost of long-time
storage.
This is" the concensus of
business and airline men who
have watched the growth of
this steadily developing field.
Sam Dunlap, vice president
in charge of cargo operations
for Trans World Airlines,
noted that air cargo will even
tually make it possible for
his company to deliver with
in 72 hours fresh fruits and
vegetables to any part of the
world.
A nine-ton shipment of tur
key eggs recently was flown
from California to Iowa in
the winter for early nesting.
Strawberry and asparagus
shippers already have used
air cargo to ship their pro
duce to shortage areas for a
higher return.
Businessmen have taken to
this brand of air transport
because It helps them elimi
nate the costly warehousing
of their merchandise.
A sign of the expansion of
such cargo traffic is the num
ber of non-jet commercial

ly responsible to the county
commission, would attend a
official meetings and give im
mediate opinions on legal mat
ters affecting the county.
The district attorney's sal
ary should come entirely from
Ihe state and he should be
made a state officer respon
sible to the stale, Stacey
recommended.
Mrs. Thomas Ruttcr, Med
ford, home rule study com
mittee chairman, said she
would invite Orval Ettcr, re
search attorney for the Ore
gon bureau of municipal re
search, to meet with the com
mittee early next month.
The investigation of the
bank's records was begun
when officials became suspici
ous of Mrs. Stevens' spending.
She had a flair for expensive
clothing and recently bought
a new automobile. Her month
ly salary was $250 and her
coal miner husband did not
earn a great deal more.
While studying Mrs. Ste
vens' books, investigators also
found a discrepancy in Miss
Fortney's accounts.
Examiners from the West
Virginia Banking Commission
and the Federal Deposit Insur
ance Corp. discovered the
shortage. They linked a short
age of $222,244.70 to Mrs.
Stevens and $22,549.91 to Miss
Fortney.
Mrs. Stevens, apparently
seeing discovery was near, at
tempted suicide last Monday,
authorities said. She was tak
en to a hospital in Clarks
burg, W. Va., after taking an
overdose of sleeping tablets.
She recovered and Thursday
was transferred to the Marion
county jail in Fairmont where
Miss Fortney is also lodged.
But she was shocked when
federal agents placed her un
der arrest.
"I don't know what to do,"
she said. "I don't know any
thing about this."
Her husband, at home here
with their two children, was
equally stunned.
"It's just a shock," he said
