Agriculture Department ex perts in Washington said the severe frost damage to citrus and vegetable crops in this country could cause repcr- cussions in international trade. They said Mediterranean countries were likely to in crease their shipments to Europe to take up the slack left by the absence of U.S. ex-, ports. . The 'temperature dropped into the 20s again Tuesday in California, but the Weather Bureau said there appeared to have been little if any crop damage the past five days. Redden Proposes Immunity Plan Representative James A. Redden (D-Medford) has in troduced legislation provid ing for immunity from mal practice suits arising from emergency medical care giv en by physicians, surgeons, nurses, dentists and chlro praetors. The legislation, referred to as the "Good Samaritan law," would allow those In the med ical and associated profes sions to care for emergency first aid cases, without pay, at the scene of an accident without fear of an action for malpractice being brought by the accident victim, Redden said. Redden stated that physi cians were reluctant, and rightly so, In offering first aid treatment at accident ' scenes because of the threat of ending up in court. The Jackson county attor ney pointed out that no such case has been brought in OrC' gon, to date, and expressed the opinion that one would have little jury appeal. He urges passage of his proposed legislation, however, because It would remove all doubts from the mind of a physician who might be faced with an emergency situation.

Last week, Assemblyman Edward Elliott (D-Los An geles) proposed 33 bills mak ing sweeping revisions in un employment compensation. f $107 Weekly Maximum Under both programs, it would be possible for an in jured or unemployed worker to collect as much as $107 a week while off the job. The Crown measures would repeal an obsolete section of fhe, law rpopnliv Involved In action by the State Supreme court.

However, Wallace Priestley, member of . the executive board of the Portland chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Color ed People, said the board will not achieve that objective un til two fraternities remove discriminatory clauses from their national charters. Chancellor Roy Licuallen read letters from University of Oregon President Arthur Flemming and Oregon State President James Jensen which indicated there is no discrim ination on either campus. Lieuallen admitted that two fraternities which have chap ters at both schools still have racial clauses in their national charters, but said their chap ters in Oregon have waivers. Priestley Identified the two as Alpha Tau Omega and Sig ma Nu. He called the waivers ir relevant. -i "What self-respecting Ne gro would want to belong to a group which has discrimina tion written into its charter?" he asked. In other action the board approved an increase in out-of-state tuition at three schools, and an increase in dormitory fees. The dormitory fee increase is expected to be about $40 a year at all state schools ex cept Oregon Tech. The figure is about $53 at the latter. , Lieuallen recommended a $60 a year increase each of the next two years for out-of-state students at Oregon, Oregon State and Portland State. It would raise the tui tion from the present $630 a year to $750. The board recommended reduced tuition fees for Ore gon students at most institu tions. Fees would drop from $100 to $90 per term at Ore gon, Oregon State and Port land State, and from $88 to $78 at Southern Oregon, East ern Oregon and Oregon Col lege of Education. Oregon Tech fees would remain $100 per term. SHIP IT IftSME to from Oakland, Sen Fran clue, Lei Anieles and other California points. f ( Jack AjaaggS Fitzgerald i 773-7761 WAINSCOTTS ' s.
