Contractors for the new Salem -tUPD- The Oregon In dustrial Accident Commission has announced a sweeping re organization, including crea tion of the post of executive manager which could lead to eventual abolition of the com mission itself as a policy making body.

This manager, not yet named, will get $13,800 a year. Centralize functions through a field services divi sion to be headed by a di rector under the executive manager. Decentralize home office field functions by replacing them with regional managers "who can give employers, claimants, doctors, hospitals, and others closer attention from offices located in strate gic areas." These regional offices, to be set up within six months, will be in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Pendleton, Medford and Bend. Paul Jaeger, Salem, was named director of the field services division. There will be a new divi sion on planning and research headed by George Hessevick, Salem, and a new division of personnel, training and in formation headed by James H. Mills Jr., Salem.
