Scores of schools closed in
Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, In
diana. Ohio and Kentucky.
A four inch snowfall In
southern Ohio fanned into
two-foot drifts, creating trafr
fic jams a mile long. The
snow pushed into west Vir
ginia late in the morning with
the cold close behind.
The temperature dropped
22 degrees in seven hours at
Cincinnati. It fell 21 degrees
in an hour at Jackson, Miss.
Indiana counted 23 deaths

about three miles long just
upstream from Cairo, 111.
Another ice jam was lo
cated two-thirds of the way
north between Cairo, where
the Mississippi joins the Ohio
river, and St. Louis, Mo.
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.

Meredith Gets
Push in Leaving
'Ole Miss' Campus
Oxford, Miss. - rtPPD - Negro
student . James H. Meredith
Tuesday left the University of
Mississippi, possibly for good,
with students and newsmen
literally pushing him off the
campus in a broken-down
auto.
Meredith, 29, departed in
an atmosphere of boisterous
ness but there was none of
the bloody violence that mark
ed, his admission, four months
ago.
The . Korean War veteran
was delayed in his departure
when his car would not start.
He called several service sta
tion attendants to recharge
the battery. The car still
would not start when he was
ready to leave and he had to
be pushed off by students and
a few newsmen.
He refused to say whether
he would return. :
Nothing To Say
Meredith drove to Mem
phis, Tenn,, 80 miles north of
here, after taking his last se
mester examination, and then
drove on to Jackson,. Miss.,
where he moved into his
newly rented apartment. An
attorney at Memphis, A. W.
Willis, said Meredith would
have nothing to say about his
future plans until Jan. 28, the
official end of the current Se
mester. ..
Meredith Is reported in ser
ious academic difficulty at the
university. He skipped a
mathematics . examl nation
Monday, presumably failing
it by default. .
About 40 stiidenls gathered
around Meredith's car as he
prepared to leave, taunting
him with shouts of "There's
the nigger." They were dis
persed by campus police.
Later, a caravan of 30 cars
followed Meredith off the
campus and out of town until
he reached an interstate high
way leading to Memphis.

Compensation
Bills Introduced
In California
Sacramento - ttlPD - Organ
ized labor's major bills on
the unemployed and. injured
worker were before the 1963
California legislature today.
They would set up two
nearly identical programs -one
paid by the worker and
the other by the employer.
. Assemblyman Robert , W.
Crown (D Alameda) intro
duced a series of 20 bills lib
eralizing disability compen
sation payments with' the
harkinff nf the California Fed
eration of Labor, AFL-CIO.
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. The nign Dencn upneia
a decision of then - Employ
ment Director Irving Perluss
that private insurance com
panies could not take the low
risk disability cases '. and-
leave the state the others.
The private carriers were
taking the cream of the crop,"
sairl Thomas Pitts, executive
secretary of the labor federa
tion.
Pay Check Deduction
A disabled worker now can
collect up to $75 a week -paid
for by a 1 per cent de
duction from his pay check
up to $4,600 a year - In dis
ability benefits.
One of Crown's measures
makes 'it possible for the
wdrker to collect an extra $7
for the first dependent and an
additional $5 for each de
pendent up to a total of six.
Another measure would in
crease the maximum amount
of time a worker can collect
disability insurance from 26
to 39 weeks - to put it in line
with the proposed maximum
for unemployment compensation.

Discrimination Said Ended
At Oregon, OSU Fraternities
Portland - IUPD - The State
Board of Higher Education
claimed Tuesday it "appears"
to have ended racial discrim
ination In fraternities and sor
orities at the University of
Oregon and Oregon State.
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.
