In Medford, however, the official said the I960 census already showed a definite need for low-cost housing. , -- The five - man appointed commisslpn, acting in an ad- r-tm A KODAK OAMSJSIA TO MAKI MMHOMWO LAST 8 OUTFIT Amazing electric-eye " in complete gift outfit Hera l Koe-os'msiosifig Irala StarnwKc Camera in difcim gift nttmble.

Spaulding stressed that no local funds are required for constructing housing authori ties, unless the community wished to hire workers for the original housing survey. The Federal Housing adminis tration insures loans after ap proving a local housing au thority's plan. Bonds to fir nance the project are sold through regular channels. Income from Rentals Income ' from , the . rentals must meet cost of operation, as minimum, and sometimes can also help meet costs of interest payments and amorti zation of the bonds. The fed eral government's role is to "pick up the tab" for costs above operation expenses which the housing authority is unable to meet. . He said the only local gov ernment contribution would be an agreement to levy no taxes on the housing author ity property, although funds in lieu of taxes would" be paid to the local government aid any eventual monies above operation costs, interest and amortization would be paid in relation to payments already made over the years. In answering q u e s tions from the audience, the hous ing official said that low in come families must pay rents in public housing "as high as they can reasonably afford," depending, on income and National Median Income National median income for families in low-cost housing is $2,200 per year, with rents of I30-J35 monthly covering operating costs of the housing authority. Housing the aged has more economic difficulties, he ex plained, because their in comes usually are lower. This is one reason housing authori ties often prefer diversified tenants, so the somewhat higher rent, from younger families help equalize the low Incomes and rent of older couples. The eligibility of tenants is determined after the survey of local incomes and cost of private housing. . . Mot in Competition One man in the audience, who said he was a landlord, declared that federal housing would compete with private ownership, and complained' that taxes and "regulations" made private rental owner ship too high. Spaulding an swered that persons . who Reserve Unit To Be Inspected Today A group of officers from the 13th Naval district head quarters, Seattle, are inspect ing the local reserve Unit to day to determine its qualifica tion for national competition.

Dick House, a -local insur ance salesman, asked if the housing authority in. Spring field "is like one expected to be in Medford," and Spaul ding said, "Yes, it's fairly typical." The Springfield project contains ISO housing units. House also asked ques tions concerning how a low income family is determined, and cost of rents and oper ation expenses. Pleas Consideration A plea for further consider ation of a housing authority in Jackson county was direct ed to the audience by James Pullman, county welfare ad ministrator. He said at least 300 families on welfare rolls are in housing below the minimum standards of "health and decency." "The community must an swer the question whether we want to provide for them, or let them continue to- live in sub-standard housing," he declared. Spaulding concluded that federal housing authorities "are trying to reach a group who do not own property and cannot pay" for housing of minimum decent standards. The only private owners who would be hurt, he declared, are owners of sub -standard housing. Spaulding talked with Ash land City Manager Elmer Beagle this morning concern ing possibilities -of establish ing a housing authority in that city. The FHA official reported that Beagle express ed enthusiasm for such a proj ect and plans to meet with Spaulding and other city of ficials again soon.

Mark Hatfield's menage and with the Democratic piauorm. By A. H. PEARSON Salem-(UPD-Gov. Mark Hat field had more of his wishes fulfilled by the Democratic legislature than the Demo crats themselves. Hatfield won nearly two- thirds of the specific requests made in his opening message in January. Democrats hardly got halfway in implementing their party platform, drawn a year earlier. Curiously, the combination of a iiatiieia- Democratic party shove, how ever, failed to win a bit 01 the governor's top aim: Gov ernment reorganization. The entire cabinet system plan was junked, and Hat field's earlier charge that this would be "buck-passing' fell a good deal on cautious members of his own party. Hatfield had to share credit with the Democrats for de manding and .achieving an aggressive win-industry pro gram, salary hikes for state employees, mental health cli nics, timber tax, civil rights, and steps to revise the con stitution. Education Credit Split " . In the education field, they split credit for increased ba sic school support, better pay for college teachers, and scholarships. Both Hatfield and the Democrats called generally for steps' toward industrial development. The specific bills that re sulted oil exploration, Boardman industrial park, coast easements for plants, riverbottom mining,' an Asto ria bridge may be the ses sion's most far-reaching work. They also afford the finest opportunity for political credit-claiming .hinging on whether they lead to indus trial growth without blemish ing or wasting resources. Hatfield and the Democra tic party split some substan tial losses In the tax field: A net business income tax to re place inventory levies, and re lief for the elderly. Hatfield also sought and lost a net re ceipts tax to pick up more income taxpayers. The . votes illustrated the power of the generally con servative "independents" in both parties. Wins Utility Bill The governor won a con troversial bill to give exclu sive service areas to utilities, largely through support from his own party. Via broad bi-partisan sup port, he also requested and got a labor elections bill, a school of social work, bill' board control, log-truck certl flcates of necessity, increased liquor revenues for cities and counties, and a commerce code. The chief executive's dra matic pleas for traffic safety laws met head on with a cool legislature which 'killed speed limits and a bill to permit ar rests without witnessing an accident: Hatfield got only a weakened bill permitting chemical liquor tests by oral, as well as the present writ ten, consent. The governor got nowhere on proposals for two-way workmen's compensation, a change in state holidays, a transportation building on the Capital Mall, or a consti tutional amendment putting the secretary of state next in line of succession. Though it gave Hatfield much of what he wanted, the legislature ignored his final words of advice on opening day: "Get to the heart of the matter promptly and deci sively." The lawmakers stayed 122 days, the second longest ses sion in history. Sabotage Studied In Crash of Plane Algiers - (UPD - A French airliner which crashed into the Sahara desert Wednesday fell to earth from a compara tively low height, a report from the scene of the crash said today.
