Today:-The Kovernor. Br GOV. MARK HATFIELD Written tot UPI -Salem-IUPB-During the first three and a half months of the 1B81 legislative session termed It "devise and dis ' sent" for it seemed that one chamber would devise and tne other would dissent on a ma jority of the key issues. In the six regular sessions and one special session with which I have been closely as sociated, never has there been quite the thorough exercise of "check and balance" by the Senate over the House and vice versa. -This was not a result of the executive branch being in tne hands of one party and the legislative in the hands of the other party but rather a result of the struggle for power ana domination within the Demo cratic leadership. Would the Senate win out with the top spot occupied by a presiding officer placed in that position by a minority of Democrats and the Repub licans, or would the House achieve success with Its domi nation by the liberal element? Answer Bald Clear With' adjournment the answer became clear. The two chambers canceled each other out with their jockeying and a gratifying percentage of the administra tion's basic message and budgetary legislation was adopted. The budget which was presented on Dec. 1, I960 mounted to $358,829,605 and the approved budget May 11, 1981 was $365,619,319. To be lure there were some addi tions here, deletions there, but the fact is the budget was in creased less than- three - per cent from the administrative recommendation in total. In 1959 the legislative change in the executive budg et recommendation was .62 per cent. .. Reorganization suffered tragic late. You will- recall the 1959 legislature directed the gov ernor to present an over-all plan. Although not required or even suggested, your gov ernor appointed a bipartisan 15-member advisory commit tee headed by a former op ponent and the campaign chairman of a former oppo nent. Except for the incum bent speaker of the House of Representatives, every single person asked to serve on that committee 'accepted the - as signment. The reorganization plan went to the legislative member on Dec. IS, 1960.

He also noted the high price on logs, mounting operation costs, higher requir ed federal insurance, taxes, sliding demand and less gen eral building. Th unemployed In Jackson county a of March 9, 1961, totaled 17,000, Moore noted, . Psychological Recession Th 1958 recession was a psychological one, Moore com mented.

A warning of this possibility was contained in my message to the legislature on Jan. 9 "Should you choose to do nothing, then the buck-passing which now characterizes some administrative pro c e d u r e s must rest at your door.

This should make all citizens, and especially the communications media, pon der.: The dribble of mail on important issues indicates either Indifference or ignor ance.. I cannot concur that it indicates satisfaction and con fidence. ' I cannot believe the people of Oregon yet realize that the 1961 legislature took virtual ly no constructive action on imperative matters like traf- flce safety, Individual tax re form to remove inequities il lustrated In my recommenda tions for two sessions, im provements In workmen's compensation, coord 1 n a t e d promotion of Oregon through department of commerce, and other government Im provement steps. When and if the people study the record of the 1961 legislature they may well wonder how so many experi enced legislators could take so much time to do so little. - Tueideyt Th Senate Presi dent, i f. - - Conditions explained. At the end of Feb ruary, 1981, debits showed a 3 per cent decline. On the brighter side, the bank manager noted a strong gain In service industries such as those related to electronics, In southern Oregon retail sales. i : "These are quite good gen erally compared to the previ ous year," he said. However, retail stores, must shave their margins, have high operating costs and are carrying more accounts receivable, he added. Faced With Sam Problam Banks are faoed with the same rising costs and operat ing problems faced by other industries, the bank manager noted. Late last year th Federal Reserve allowed banks to count the currency In their vaults as part of their reserves which made it easier for the banks to borrow to cover their reserves, Moore explained. Now, irom a tight money situation the trend has revers ed so that particularly life In surance companies have a sur plus of mortgage money to loan. Qtner Indications of an economy upswing are popu lation growth, Mew water and electric utilities hookup, a lot of new business coming Into the area, increased Industrial output, and new building such as motels.

THE COURT II ELI a public service by the COLLEGE of LAW WILLAMETTE Chicago Film Censorship Right Upheld A Chicago ordinance re quires that before any movie be exhibited to the public, a permit must be obtained from the city. In order to obtain the permit, the Chicago po lice commissioner must be given an opportunity to view the movie; If the commission er believes the movie to be "immoral or obscene," it is his duty, to deny the permit. The Times Film. Corp. applied to the commissioner for a per mit to show the film "Don Juan," but refused to submit the film for examination, hence the permit was denied Action was brought In federal court to compel issuance of the permit. THE COURT HELD: The U. S. Supreme Court, by a 5-4 vote, held that it was con stitutional to require all film exhibitors to submit all films to the city for censorship. The four dissenters felt that this was an unconstitutional de nial of freedom of speech and press. If movie censorship is valid, argued the dissent, then what Is to prevent govern ment from censoring' news papers, books and magazines? However, the court did not determine whether "D o n Juan" could be denied a per mit after it had been exam ined by the city. The cbmmls- lsioner, after viewing the mo vie, cannot d eny a permit merely because he doesn't like It. If a permit is denied on the ground that the movie is "obscene," for example, the film corporation can appeal to Appear approaching Its busy season, he noted. An Increasing num ber of warehouses are being established as southern Ore gon becomes more of a distri bution center, Moore pointed out. "we're not In a boom, but experiencing a g o o d steady growth," he said. Newcomers to Area "Newcomers In the area ap pear to be good, substantial people with money behind them. This Is reflected In their bank deposits," Moore said He noted a $4 million gain in loans in all banks in Jackson county for March, compared to tne same month In a pre vious year. A loan decline has occurred during the same pe riod, he said He warned lumbermen not to expect a big drop in Inter est rates due to excessive re serves. He said this is his per sonal opinion Moore predicted that the lo cal business upsweep would continue beyond the full when Die seasonal local economy rise usually ends. Nationally, families are hitting the 10 year period when births in crease, he noted. The present political admin istration seems to have a fixed policy of spending. However, much will depend on the In ternational situation, It the in ternational situation deterio rates, the federal government will pump more money into defense spending and further boost the national economy, he predicted.

A former Medford newsman and high school graduate has described the United States' first man in space, Astronaut Alan Shepard, as an extrovert who drove a car almost as fast as a Redstone rocket. Arthur Schoeni, a Dallas public relations man with the Chance Vought corporation, recalled meeting the 37-year- old Navy commander several times within the past 10 years. He was just another guy named Shepard at that time," Schoeni noted. Schoeni was graduated from Medford High school, : and later taught Journalism .there. In- addition he worked at both the Medford Mail Trib une and the -Medford News. His aunt, Lucy Lyman, 92, is now residing at 423 King St., Medford. ' Tests Gears Shepard tested aircraft ar resting gears as a Navy test pilot at the Dallas Naval Air station in 1957. He had previ ously been attached to the Naval Air Test center at Pa tuxent River, Md. In Dallas, he met Schoeni whose offices at the Cance Vought corpora tion were adjacent to those of the Naval air station. Schoeni originally met Shepard in 1953 in Washing ton, D.C., where he was edit ing a monthly magazine, Naval Aviation News, and Shepard was a pilot at near by Patuxent River, Md. The publicity man recalls that the test pilot was a close friend of the feature editor and used to "drop into the office a lot." Shepard was known as a "pretty impetu ous" man behind The wheel of auto and frequently "ter rorized" his passengers, ac cording to Schoeni. When Shepard moved ' to Dallas to make flight tests on the F8U-1 Crusader, he and Schoeni renewed their ac quaintance. Schoeni took pic tures of the pilot as he made some 30 landings to check out the landing arrester system, i The former Medford man went on to say that the as- MONTHLY PAYMENT PIANS YOM 14 30 I) 6 w 4wfi ..nmri Ptf.wf. 1100 S 5.!X) S 6.72 S10.05 S18.-16 iOO 11.81 13.44 20.09 :i.!2 .10 17.71 20.16 30.14 55.:t8 50 28.86 32.97 49.64 91.66 10 53.89 62.21 95.64 179.56 1W 77.87 90 38 140.S7 1266.36 U IW MWU, 9i J M j ) hlnt mrt ntiit 1 -11.
