demonstration of the need to
keep Oregon water clean.
Approval of the bill by
both Houses seems likely.

have limited the State Sani
tary Authority to anti-contamination
orders that were "tech

Minority Report Accepted
In doing so, the House com
mittee accepted a minority re
port by Sen. Robert Straub.
He said the five words would
have placed the SSA in a
straitjacket and opened the
way to endless delays and
court litigation.
Portland City Attorney Alex
Brown bowed to the change
and said the city could still
"live with" the'bill.
Senate OK Expected x
In spite of the bitter Sen

In naooana it t Vl o lirotnfilH-

probably would go along with
the tougher bill.
Spokesmen for both Gov.

Oregon Industries lined up
behind the stronger version. ,
The committee decision was
made in a room that reeked

Witness Bob Cooper of
Newport, urging stronger

By Legislature on
Reorganization
Salem - HIPP - Senate Re
publican Leader Anthony
Yturrl declared today that the
IcRlslnture is dragging Its feet
on Gov. Mark Hatfield's gov
ernment reorganization pro
gram. Two reorganization bills
have passed the Senate but
none have emerged from the
House. Hatfield has about 20
bills related to the cabinet
system plan.
"The failure or tins legis
lature to move substantially
in the direction of reorganiza
tion of state government will
prove that previous utter
ances of the legislature were
not proclaimed with sincerity
or a desire to correct a long
standing problem."
System Said Unwieldly ,
Hatfield snys Oregon's pres
ent system of boards and com
missions, 172 of them, is un
wieldy and outmoded. He fu
vors the streamlined cabinet
system.
Yturrl said Oregon's "Utile
Hoover commission" of 1040
as well as the 11)57 legislature
interim committee and 195!)
legislature urged reorganiza
tion to commence.
Last session the legislature
ordered Hntflcld to submit a
comprehensive program to the
1061 session. "This has been
done," Yturil said.
"Now the actions of this
legislature will demonstrate
the sincerity or luck of it on
the part of this body." he said.

poles in loose sand or earth
without having to dig a hole.
Hundreds Answer
Call As River
Rages in Iowa
By United Press International
The crest of the Cedar river
fioodwaters bore down on Ce
dar Rapids, Iowa, today and
hundreds of volunteers re
sponded to a call to man the
levees.
City and state officials, the
National Guard and the Red
Cross geared to move 1,500
families out of their homes to
higher ground if the flood
reaches the 21-foot level pre-
fdicted for Friday.
Upstream on the Cedar, on
the swollen Kickapoo in Wis
consin and along scores of
smaller streams, mop-up oper
ations were under way in
flood-washed lowlands.
Families Flooded Out
The fioodwaters kept at
least 3,000 persons from their
homes in the Waterloo-Evans-dale,
Iowa, area. Another 500
were flooded out farther up(
stream on the Cedar and Ar
my engineers estimated 400 to
500 had been made temporar
ily homeless in Wisconsin.
Far to the northeast, new
snow and drizzle hit Prince
Edward Island In the Canad
ian Maritimes, smothered ear
lier this week by snow.
Snowplows Struggle
More than 120 snowplows
struggled to clear 20-foot
drifts on Prince Edward Is
land, where a state of emer
gency was declared Wednes
day with top priority to med
ical cases. Baby food, cigar
ettes and other supplies were
dropped from planes' to the
Canadian National Ferry Wil
liam Carlson, trapped in ice
off North Sydney, N.S., with
70 passengers on board.
Heavy, wet snow and 40-mile-an-hour
winds knocked
out power at Albuquerque,
N.M.. for about three hours
Wednesday night.
Rush Call for Cots
In flood-threatened Cedar
Rapids, Red Cross officials put
In a rush call for 500 cots
from 5th Army Headquarters
in Chicago and appealed for
all available boats. About 215
national guardsmen assumed
flood control duties.
Iowa Gov. Norman A. Erbe
said he would decide today
whether to ask President Ken
nedy to declare flood-hit por
tions of the Cedar Valley a
disaster area.
