House Gets Off to Fast Start;
Bills Go to Committees Early
(Edilor'i note: The follow
ing ii the first dispatch
from Marijane Duncan, wife
of Speaker of the House of
Repreientatives Robert B.
Duncan, Medford. Mrs. Dun
can discusses some of the
early bills introduced and
life in Salem.)
By MARIJANE DUNCAN
Though this legislative scs
slon officially began Monday,
Jan; 9, with the election of
officers in the
two houses
and the Gov
ernors mes
sage, actual
work started
W e d n e sday
Tuesday was
devoted to an
orient ation
conference,
IMarijiino inm.an new wrinme
instituted by Ihe Legislative
Counsel, which served to ac
custom tlie new members, or
freshmen, to some of the rou
tine of legislative life.
1 The first bills in the hopper
on Wednesday were number
ed from 1001 through 1011,
and were committee bills -that
is, introduced via in
terim committees. This re
served a block of numbers
which will be used by in
dividual bills as they are in
troduced one and two at a
time. It also serves to quickly
identify bills from particular
committees - for , instance, tax
ation' bills start with the num
ber 1000 - ways and means
with 2000.
The rules were suspended
on the first two work days In
order lo gel the bills imme
diately into committee. Ordin
arily a bill (or rather, lis title)
must be read on two succeed
ing days before being refer
red by the Speaker to the ap
propriate committee. Suspend
ing the rules simply enables
the committees to get right to
work on legislation.
Other action has been taken
to insure a fast start (and per
haps an curly end) to this ses
sion. Early morning and eve
ning committee meetings and
hearings arc already being
scheduled. Already the work
ers In Engrossed and Enrolled
Bills arc talking about the
heavy work-load. Generally
one doesn't henr this until the
come In changes the preferen
tial primary bill so that a can
didate for President or Vice
President whose name has
been entered by petition may
withdraw it by iiling an aft
davit with the Secretary of
States.
House Bill 1003 rimes basic
school support lo SI 15 per
census child and specifies S10
per census child (between 4
and 20) as property tax offset.
Another House Bill would
change the law so that when
an office becomes vacant, the
appointee does not have to be
of the same political party as
his predecessor.
Lots of mall has been re
ceived by legislators concern
ing tlie proposal to move up
to July the date of require
ment of a child's sixth birth
day for school admission.
Mothers of prospective first
graders, including many leg
islative wives, express them
selves In no uncertain terms
as opposed to this.
Other bills cover such var
ied subjects as county offi
cials, civil defense, kinder
gartens, fire control, timber
taxation, National Guars).

A couple of precedents have
been shattered this session.
The first, of course, was the
election of a speaker for the
second consecutive session.
Then Bob appointed himself
to a committee - judiciary -which
had not been done be
fore. However, there is a
shortage of lawyers in the
House, so he was needed.
Since this is always a busy
committee with lots of bills to
consider, it will mean cram
ming his already full daily
schedule. This afternoon, for
instance, besides judiciary
meeting at 1, Bob has three
or four appointments and at
least six or eight people or
delegations will "drop in." He
has a 6 o'clock dinner meet
ing and a speaking engage
ment at 8. Nor is this an
atypical calendar for him.
Social events are squeezed
in, mostly during evening
hours. Governor and Mrs.
Hatfield led off with a recep
tion the Sunday before the
opening of the session. Legis
lators wives had looked for
ward to viewing the interior
of their newly - decorated
house, which they had only
started to remodel last ses
sion. It proved just as elegant
as magazines and newspaper
articles had described it. Some
mothers of young children
couldn't help reflecting on
what problems would arise
when the H a t f I e I ds' two
youngsters grow older and
livelier.
The Oregon Farm Bureau
and Lebanon Chamber of
Commerce have put on their
traditional dinners for legis
lators and their Wives. At the
former, Bob (in absentia) and
Senate President Boivin were
presented with handsome
Stetsons. I accepted Bob's and
found it fit me just about
right. Senator Boivin's was
too small for him, so both
hats had to be exchanged.
This occasioned some com
ment about what happened to
head-sizes when people were
elected to public office.
One of tlie highlights of the,
dinner in Lebanon was a pro-j
gram of excellent music fur-;
nislied by a local choral group. ,
They sang selections from
Oklahoma and had several;
fine soloists. The leader and;

Results of Mapping
Of Crater Lake To
Be Article Subject
San Francisco-The Nation
al Park service announced
today that an analysis of the
charts resulting from the un
derwater mapping of Crater
lake will be published in an
article in the forthcoming
February issue of the "Amer
ican Journal of Science."
The mapping survey was
done in 1959 at Crater Lake
National park by officers of
the U.S. coast and geodetic
survey under cooperative re
search agreement with the
National Park service.
The resulting underwater
map shows that the deepest
part of Crater lake is 1,932
feet, somewhat less than the
previously estimated depth of
1,996 feet. The lake, how
ever, remains the deepest in
the United States and seventh
in the -world.
The National Park service
requested Dr. Howel Wil
liams of the department of
geology, University of Cali
fornia in Berkeley, to under
take the analysis of the hy
drographic charts. Dr. Wil
liams is a recognized author
ity on the geology of Crater
lake.
Describes New Volcano
In his article, Dr. Williams
describes a newly discovered
volcano with a nearly sym
metrical cone rising 1,320 feet
from the floor of the caldera
under the blue waters of
Crater lake.
He calls this volcano the
Merriam Cone after the late
John C. Merriam, former
President of the Carnegie
Institute of Washington, and
former chairman of the De
partment of Paleontology at
the University of California,
Berkeley campus. Dr. Mer
riam's son, Lawrence C. Mer
riam, is the National Park
in
of
service regional director
San Francisco.
Bottom Samples
Dr. Williams' analysis
the floor of the lake was
aided by a collection of bot
tom samples secured by Carl
ton H. Nelson, University of
Minnesota graduate student
in geology, as a part of a
thesis he is preparing on the
Crater lake region.
Merriam said today that
Dr. Williams' article repre
sents the success of one of
a number of cooperative re-
