The House vote was 361-31 and the Senate acted by voice vote. The administration esti mates that 3,123,000 people could draw the extra benefits during the next year or so. It said payments could start going to eligible unemployed within two weeks after enact ment. The bill would provide up to 13 weeks of extra pay ments to unemployed workers who have exhausted or will exhaust their regular bene fits during the two-year per iod between last July 1 and June 30, 1062.

The final bill was a com promise of slightly different versions approved earlier by the House and Senate. The Senate had voted to make the employer payroll tax effec tive immediately but the House insisted on the Jan. 1 date. Employers would pay the tax on the first $3,000 of each worker's wages.

The Senate State and Fed eral Affairs committee moved out with "do pass" recom mendations the civil rights and revenue department measures. The former would prohibit racial or religious discrimina tion- by barber and beauty shops and similar businesses The measure has been called the "barber bill" because bar bers are among the main op ponents. The proposed revenue de partment is one of the cabinet agencies envisioned in Gov Mark Hatfield's government reorganization plan. It would be the nucleus of a general government services depart ment to come later. The three -member State Tax commission would be abolished and its appeals func tion transferred to a tax court. The committee frowned on Hatfield's suggestion that in heritance and gift tax collec tions be taken from the state treasurer and put under the new department. As sent out, the bill would not affect these functions. The committee tabled a bill allowing county employees to bargain collectively for wages and benefits and approved a resolution setting up a com mission on constitutional re vision. The commission would include 12 members in gov ernment plus all ex-Oregon governors. The House Education com mittee gave approval to tUe scholarship plan under which 50 picked students would be awarded grants worth up to $500 each to attend a public or private school of their choice. The State Scholarship commission would choose the students. The house barely approved and sent to the senate a bill to prevent Hatfield from mov ing State Welfare commission offices from Portland to Sa lem. The vote was 33-27, general ly along party lines with Democrats for and Republi cans against. Tho move is slated to begin next month and Hatfield has ordered it completed this sum mer. HB1015, which the governor will undoubtedly veto if it gets to him, would establish Portland as the permanent headquarters of the welfare agency. Banks Will Pay Interest Daily Portland -0IPD-Oregon resi dents were to receive addition al interest on savings as a result of action by three banks to give interest on a daily basis, It was revealed today. The additional interest to be paid was about $1.67 mil lion. The plan was announced by Leland H. Johnson, vice presi dent of the Bank of California. He said savings accounts would draw interest at 3 per cent daily with interest com pounded quarterly beginning Wednesday. The First National Bank of Oregon took similar action with the plan to go into effect beginning April 1. Ed. J. Kolar. president of the U.S. National Bank, said daily interest probably would begin after March 31 when the board of directors meets. A fourth bank, the Security Bank of Oregon, has been on a daily interest payment plan since Oct. 1, I960. The change will increase the amount of interest to sav ers without hiking the stand ard three per cent rate, the highest banks enn pay under present law. House Tackles Minimum Wage Plan; President Faces Stiff Uphill Fight Washington-flJPD-The House plunged today into a mini mum wage battle that prom ised to provide another cliff-hanging test of Presi dent Kennedy's legislative program. As debate began, a conser vative coalition of Republi cans and southern Democrats held the upper hand. But the President's supporters said they would not admit defeat until the votes were counted. As he did in his thin vic tories on House rules and the feed grain bill, Kennedy sent his aides and associates into the fight to help his congres sional supporters. While publicly refusing to concede they were behind, liberal Democrats were ad mitting privately they might have to give up Kennedy's re quest for broad new coverage of workers under the wage hour law in order to get the $1.25 hourly wage floor sought by the administration. Such a compromise was ad vanced Wednesday by Rep. Carl Vinson (D-Ga.) who con ferred with Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg during the hectic day of backstage maneuvering.

The board said the airline failed to show an urgent need for its proposed -service. The board also said the re quest did not appear to have any civic party support and the possible subsidy savings did not appear "to be so great as to require the grant of the request." Court Upholds Multnomah Edict Snlcm - OTP - The Oregon Supreme Court Wednesday upheld a Multnomah county circuit court decree enjoining the Pacific Moat Co. from dis charging untreated industrial waslcs Into the Columbia slough at Portland. The state sanitary authority brought the suit and the meat company appealed the circuit court decision. The high court, in a per curiam opinion, modified the di-oroe Issued by Judge pro tern Krank S. Sever to the extent that it was "slightly broader than the relief sought by the sanitary authority." The decision said the sani tary authority sought only to prevent the company from dumping wastes without ade quate prior treatment. All that remains for t h e company to do is to prevent pollution by maintaining and to "operate properly" a sys tem of lagoons already con structed, the court said.
