Chamber Committee Opposition to House The portion of Slate Reor ganization House Bill 1233 which would transfer the state parks division from the high way department to the depart ment of natural resources drew unanimous opposition from the Medford Chamber of Commerce governmental operations committee, headed by Robert D. Heffernan, when the group met this week. Under the highway depart ment, Oregon enjoys an out standing state parks system, evidently administered with out involving special appro priations from the legislature, committee members pointed out. Don McNeil, chamber man ager, also opposed that por tion of House Bill 1299 which proposes the transfer of the state travel information di vision from the highway de partment and places it under a newly created department of commerce. Cites Recognized Record MeNeil cited the nationally recorgnized record of Oregon travel promotion, a highly specialized activity carried op by the Travel division under the highway department. "This success is due in part," McNeil said, 'tq con sistent effort and trained per sonnel based on dependable gas tax funds. Oregon's travel promotion budget represents only a fraction of the total gas tax paid by out of state visi tors during a season," he said. Here is another case of a division that is free of po litical influence and not de pendent upon the whims of the legislature for funds, Mc Neil maintained. Frank Van Dyke and Heffer nan emphasized that opposi tion by the committee is di rected only to portions of the 1im KilU orrl ic- nnt I . ..v wins auvi ia iiu, iu A jiikcipicitru 03 ugJfJUMllun lO the total governmental reor ganization plan. Charles Gustafson, admin istrator of Rogue Valley Me morial hospital, spoke in op position to House Bills 1104 and 1232. "The two have one thing in common," Gustafson stated. "They would increase costs to patients in our hos pitals." Under Unemployment Gustafson pointed out that House Bill 1104 would bring all employees of hospital and charitable organizations under unemployment compensation. He said that this is unneces sary because hospital work is not seasonal. There is always work for trained personnel, he noted. Few are fired and most are voluntary resignations.

It will increase the cost to the patient," Gustafson continued his opposition to the measure, "and serve to increase benefits to workers in other industries at the ex pense of sick people." Following Gustafson's talk, the committee went on record opposing the bill. House Bill 1233 was pre sented as one designed to eliminate the present hospital immunity as a corporation from suits arising out of negli gence in hospitals. Passage of the bill wquld result jn the hospital bejng liable as a cor poration in a law suit, the committee was told. This would bring an in crease in the cost of insur ance which runs about 7 cents per day at the present time in Rogue Valley, Gustafson stat ed. Under this bill such costs would increase to about $1 per patient day without in creasing patient care. Oregon Supreme Court Decisions Salcm-WPli-The Oregon Su preme Court Thursday modi fied an award made in the Multnomah County Supreme Court of Judge Paul R. Har ris involving charges of false imprisonment against the J. C. Penney, company. Jessie E. Lukas had been awarded $4000 general dam ages and $500 punitive dam ages from the company. The high court upheld the $4000 award, but reversed the $500 punitive damage award. The action resulted after a store clerk discovered a dress missing, and a store detective stofped the plain tiff on the street and inspect ed her shopping bag. The plaintiff and her grand daughter had tried on dresses in the store, but decided to look elsewhere before pur chasing and left. A personal injury action from the Harney County Cir cuit Court of Judge Jeff D. Dorroh Jr. was reversed and remanded for a new trial. The action involved a state highway department em ployee, Lloyd E. Lovens, who appealed the judgement made to Eavid and Elton Jackson, owners of a truck which struck him. Affirmed was a Multnomah County Court decision by Judge William L. Dickson in- Voices Bills The chamber of commerce committee also voted to op pose passage of this bill. Committee member Ken Nottingham spoke in opposi tion to the portion of House Bill 1141, which he said ex pands the subject of liens against an employer in de fault of contribution payments (unemployment compensation) to include all property used by the employer with per mission of its owner. The committee deferred action on House Bill 1167 creating a Labor-Management commit tee. Roy Spangler reported on House Bill 1033 designated as the "Inventory Tax Relief Act," and the committee op posed the measure again as it did two years ago. The motiva tion is good, members stated, but discrimination and dif ficulty of administration with in the bill "defeats its pur pose." volving the Stale Land board and Jan Pekarek and Maria Pekarek Jelcnova, appellants. Affirmed was a decree of the Multnomah Probate Court holding that no reciprocity with Czechoslovakia existed in 1953 and directing that cer tain property of Martin Peka rek escheat to the state. Also affirmed was an $18, 991 judgement awarded by Multnomah County Judge Dean Bryson to Paul Harris, involving dealings with Amca Lumber company. The high court dismissed an appeal from a decision in the Jackson County court of Judge James M. Main. Ralph E. Martin alleged damages were inflicted upon him by an Ashland city police of ficer. The lower court had ac cepted demurrers filed on be half of the city, the mayor, city councilmcn and the po lice chief, which also were named as defendants in the action brought by Martin. The high court ruled accept ance of the demurrers was not a final action by the low er court, and therefore could not be appealed. A Multnomah county rul ing in the court of Judge Virgil Langtry was upheld by the high court. Alvin G. Baker appealed a personal in juries damage award made to Robert McKinney.
