Bzrton Cautions j Senate on Mental Clinics Proposal ' Salem-OTI - Rep. Clarence - Barton, co-chairman of the powerful Ways and Means committee; declared Saturday s there will be "some bloodlet ting' in the legislature next '" week it the Senate stalls on a bill for .local mental health clinics. ,' ' Barton, who strongly favors the mental health bill, didn't go into details. But the Co- auUle Democrat has near pow era of life or death over pet bills of various legislators. - The House-passed measure Is in the Senate State and Federal Affairs committee. The Senate has killed most of Gov. Mark Hatfield's gov ernment reorganization pro posals. -The mental health di vision is one of the ' recom mendations. . - Barton said he things Sec retary of State Howell Ap pling Jr. is actively working against the bill, possibly in v. the committee headed by Sen. Walter 3. Pearson, (D-Port-land). 1 , Appling, although opposing the bill because it would de tract from the Board of Con trol, dimissed Barton's state ment m "ridiculous." 1 ; ' Pearson, a strong supporter of reorganization . personally, was non-commital earlier as to how the Senate will react to the mental health proposal, i Barton said the Ways and Means committee, key to 'ad journment, is "fairly welt cleaned up" but he thinks the legislature' will run- through next Thursday.

" 1 ' S, Dig Y Appliance Center Plton sr SUNDAY. APRIL 30, 1981 Legislators Seek End To Deadlock On 3-Way By A. H. PEARSON United Press International Salem - WPD - Quiet last minute conferences were be ing held by legislative leaders in an effort to break the dead lock over three-way work men's compensation. , Participating in the private meetings were spokesmen for all s des. Including Sen. wal ter Pearson (D-Portland); Rep, W.1 0. Kelsay (D-Roseburg); and House Speaker Robert Duncan (D-Medford). Aim of the talks was to look for a compromise that will result in "passage of some good ; workmen's com pensation legislation this ses' sion.' Tabled Bill Pesrson has been the strong proponent of three-way, while Kelsay Is chairman of the House Labor . committee which tabled the three-way bill. ,: The 'impasse over three. way has In effect blocked passage of any other legisla tlon to modernize industrial accident laws. Several bills in this field that differ from three-way are still In the House Labo:' committee, stall' ed by the three-way , stale mate. ' '. There Is general agreement that the three-way bill would do two things. -It would end the state monopoly on industrial, accl dent insurance, -extending the field '. to private Insurance firms, and to industries them' I N S TERMS s w.m , J '3.00" 1 ? Hnit mm w Measure selves which could afford to "post their own bond." One effect would be to shift large sums to private insurers, Clean-Up Claims -It would clean up claims and appeals procedures for injured workmen, an area that labor spokesmen feel can stand Improvement. Other bills In the House Labor com' mittee would accomplish this to an extent. . Industry and business spokesmen have generally en' dorsed the three-way plan, praising the , competitive in surance feature as well as procedural Improvements. Labor spokesmen have said private insurance carriers would result in fewer bene' fits for the worker. , In between the two posl tions is a broad field for give and take if the participants are wilting. ,One alternative might bear some resemblance to a two- way plan, wHich would per mlt state and self-insurance, eliminating private firms. A two-way bill Is in the House Labor committee.

As a result, the foreign re lations subcommittee on Latin America postponed the ap pearance of Director Allen W. Dulles of the Central Intelli gence Agency, who also had been asked to appear Mon day. Rusk notified the foreign relations committee shortly after his return from Ankara, Turkey, that he would repre closed door session with the subcommittee headed by Sen. Wayne L. Morris (D-Ore.). Troops Expected Only To Half Red Advances in Laos Washington -flJPD-H SEATO goes to war in Laos, it prob ably would fight a limited, large defensive operation rem iniscent of the . controversial "war to a draw" policy In Korea a decade ago. As in "Korea, the basic rea son would be fear of setting off a big war - possibly nu clear World War III - by drawing in massive Chinese Communist intervention. Although SEATO's military plans are secret, official hints here and in other capitals of the eight-nation alliance lndi' cate this strategy: -SEATO would go into Laos only at the request of .either King Savang Vatthana or the western - recognized govern ment of Prince Boun Oum Halt Advance -American and other allied troops would have orders to halt the advance of the pro- Communist forces rather than try to drive them out of Laos. -They would stay away from, the borders pf Commu nist China to the . north and Communist North Viet Nam to the east. -They would try to estab lish a defense line generally along the Mekong River val ley, saving the administrative capital of Vientiane, the royal capital at Luang Prabang, and the southern border areas guarding Thailand, Cambodia and South Viet Nam. -The limited objectives of the SEATO operation would be announced in advance to the world . by the members of the United Nations Security council, Force Cease Fire . The goal would be. In effect, to force the Communists to accept a cease fire and peace negotiations before they gob ble up the entire country and put themselves into a position to dictate the terms. Allied intervention would be tailored to demonstrate that the west's commitments to defend the non-Communist na tions of southeast Asia are not empty promises. But also it would be to show that the West will not try to roll back the Iron Curtain with arms or make Laos a western bas tion on. the border of the Com munist world. ' American officials empha size that the entire world po sition of the United States is at stake - not just tiny Laos. They see the Communists present guerrilla campaign in South Viet Nam as a war al ready started. Offlclls here believe that If Laos falls, both the military and psychologi cal scales in South Viet Nam would i tip sharply ' towards eventual Communist victory. Thailand Next Thailand might be next. Consequently, a call to arms by SEATO is seen by these of ficials as much more than a fight to "save Laos," a coun try which sometimes seems in different to . whether it Is "saved" or not. In SEATO's consultations. France so far has resisted the conclusion that military inter vention is likely to accom plish any useful result. , American officials concede the risks and go along with the policy of exhausting all possible political compromises before resorting to arms. The question for the alli ance this week end was wheth er the time had come to take these risks. . - Sharing Bridge Cost News to Idaho Boise - (DPI) - Talk In the Oregon State Senate of Ore gon and Idaho sharing the cost of a $1,6 million snake River bridge at Ontario, Ore., is news to Idaho highway of ficials.

Most of the fires occurred in the homes, and most of the lives lost were in home fires.
