Two plans, one for com
puting a county's welfare
hospitalization costs and the
other to separate categories
of welfare medical cases,
were approved this morning
by the state public welfare
commission at a regional
meeting here today.
The proposed plans were
submitted by Dr. James H.
Stewart, director of the di
vision of medical care of the
state public welfare commis
sion. The first plan would re
move the present 60 per cent
minimum payment for wel
fare hospitalization to a figure
to be computed monthly.
The state allocation for this
expense would be compared
to the monthly hospital bill
ings to obtain a base line. In
dividual counties which have
a higher percentage than the
state average would use their
figure, counties going below
the state level would use their
figure plus one-half of the
difference between the county
figure and the state's average.
Slate's Allocation
For example, if the state's
allocation for hospitalization
for one month was $66,000,
and it was billed $100,000 by
the hospitals, the state's base
line would be 66 per cent. If
one county's base figured out
44 per cent, one-half of the
difference between it and the
state - 11 per cent - would
be added, making 55 per cent
as the percentage to be paid.
In the other plan, it would
take into consideration the
range of indivdual hospitaliza
tion costs in aid to dependent
children cases and old age as
sistance cases.
Dr. Stewart "explained that
the same conversion factor is
now used for all cases, while
the average cost per patient
per month for old age assist
ance persons is S32.53, while
aid-to-dependent children is
only 98 cents.
In other action this morn
ing, individual welfare cate
gory costs were discussed and
a $45,904,673 budget for fis
cal year 1962-63 was ap
proved. Of this amount $16,
344,028 is from state funds
and $7,004,576 is county
funds.
Dr. Ennis Keizer, North
Bend, chairman, is conducting
the meeting. The session will
continue this afternoon. H. D.
Christensen, chairman of the
Jackson county welfare com
mission, will preside.

Medford To Stay
On Standard Time
By United Press International
It's confusion lime again.
Part of Oregon will join
other parts of the nation on
daylight saving time at 2 a.m.
Sunday. Legally only five
counties will do so. But like
last summer other areas are
playing follow the leader.
A check of the 25 largest
Oregon cities (1960 census) indicates:
Six Portland, Hillsboro,
Oregon City Milwaukie, Beav
crton and Lake Oswego will
be on daylight time legally.
Eight Eugene, Corvallis,
Albany, Bend, Astoria, The
Dalles, Baker and McMinn
ville will be dominated by
fast time.
Eleven Salem, Medford,
Springfield, Klamath Falls,
Pendleton , Roseburg, Grants
Pass, Ashand, La Grande,
North Bend and Coos Bay
wil be dominated by standard
time.
A solid front of daylight
or standard time is not ex
pected in the latter 19 cities.
Grants Pass, for example, in
dicated some merchants will
observe early hours. Harvey
Aluminum in The Dalles said
it would run on standard time.
Baker plans to stay on
standard time until school is
out.
Newport first said It would
stay standard then changed
its mind.
Oregon and Oregon Stale
universities will keep clocks
the same but classes start an
hour earlier.
State agencies will operate
on the time prevailing stand
ard in Salem, daylight in Port
land. Most U.S. government
operations in Foriiana go
along with ' daylight time.
Grcvhound Lines said buses
would be quoted as leaving
from and arriving at Portland
on daylight time.
Political Fireworks
The daylight time contro
versy was brought about by
the legislative act permitting
Multnomah, Washington,
Clackamas, Columbia and
Hood River counties to adopt
fast time. It has brought about

Washington -lUPli- The Unit
ed States detonated an air
borne nuclear device over tha
mid-Pacific today for the sec
ond time in 48 hours.
There was speculation the
present shots were being used
to lest the nuclear punch of
missile warheads with the
aim of packing more power
into a smaller space.
As in the Wednesday test,
the device exploded today
was dropped by an airplane
and was of intermediate pow-
er. British-controlled Christ
mas Island again was the test
site.
Same Description
A spokesman for the Atom
ic Energy Commission said
the device had an explosive
power of less than one mil
lion tons of TNT (one mega
ton) but more than 20,000
tons (20 kilolons). This was
the same description given of
Wednesday's blast.
The second test of the cur
rent U.S. series came as anti
bomb demonstrations were
conducted by leftist Japanese
students before the U.S. Em
bassy in Tokyo. Communist
and pacifist ban - the - bomb
groups staged milder protests
in other countries.
Most Reaction Mild
Reaction from most neutral
nations was mild in tone and
the Free World Allies in Eu
rope strongly backed the U.S.
decision to resume atmo
spheric testing.
The shot today was the
187lh nuclear device exploded
by the United States, with 64
of them detonated in the Pa-
Icific.
