Capitol Memo
Fiscal Watchdog
Highly Respected
In State Government
Legislators
By ZAN STARK
3a lem - WPU - Kenneth
Bragg has become one of the
most respected men in state
government.
aamn inai
Bragg and
h i s legisla
tive fiscal
staff have al
ready saved
the stale mil
lions of dol
lars. Senate
President Ben
Musa (D-The
G.WTI Dalles) said
surk "If we dou
bled the fiscal office appro
priation the stale would save
ten times the added appropri
ation." .
Bragg is the fiscal watch-
dig or Oregon.
it's a relatively new posi
tion, a creation of the 1939
legislature.
Bragg heads a staff of eight.
There are four analysts, Wil
liam K. Bass Jr., CIclghton
Penwell, Fred Lculwyler, El
don S. Greaves, and sccre
t iii ics, Lee Dillon, Zora Gos
tovich and lllroko Ishida.
Tlicy are housed in offices
on Ihe fourth floor of the
Malehousc, snd operate on a
budget of about $83,000 a
year. .
They analyze and make rec
ommendations to the legisla
ture on revenue and spend
ing proposals and review the
operation of stale agencies.
They look at the governor's
budget from the legislature's
point of view, for the office
is a branch of the legislature
nnd is not connected with the
governor's office.
The sliile's serious financial
trouble has focused attention
on the legislative fiscal com
mittee. Bragg and Ills staff arc full
time employees who are in
duily contact with the opera
tion of the stale government.
When the governor sub
mitted his $405 million gen
eral fund budget last Decem
ber, Bragg's staff reviewed
both the spending and revenue-raising
proposals.
The review contained what
Bragg termed "basic fiscal
facts. "
The stale has used $50
million In reserves in the
past six years SH3 million
in the past two years and

the reserves are now gone.
Requested expenditures
are up $88.5 million over the
1961-63' biennium.
Revenues for 1001-63
are $16.5 million less than
expected.
Tax planning should con
sider a possible $70 million
hike In the general fund bud
get for 1965-67 over 1063-65.
Personal income tax rev
enues for 1961-63 are $21.7
million below estimates.
Education, which gobbles
up almost 60 per cent of the
stale's general fund budget,
has gotten a lot of attention
from BraRg's office.
He recommended elimina
tion of the basic school sup
port fund and use of the
school census as a basis for
determining grants to schools.
He said school money should
be handled the same way as
higher education support, by
biennial appropriations.
Bragg warned "specially
protected money pockets
within the state general fund
are nol conducive to good fis
cal management."
His review of oilier func
tion of government have been
equally critical.
But the fiscal officer's ap
proach is not a negative one.
The staff Is dedicated to
getting the maximum return
for every dollar spent.
During the 1061 legislative
session, Bragg's office virtu
ally single - handedly elimi
nated construction of new
higher education classrooms
by surveying the amount of
use existing classrooms were
receiving.
New construction plans
faded when the committee
showed many classrooms were
going unused much of the
time.
The quality of work dune
by the fiscal office during the
past few years has created a
deep respect for the fiscal of
fice's suggestions.
To say that there is respect
Is not to say that all depart
ment heads like what hap
pens when Bragg's office re
views their budget proposals.
Most of them do not.

London -(UPD- There is a
lesson royalty learns very
early in life. Among the smil
ing faces at birthday parties
there may be missing the most
familiar and beloved ones of
all.
Royal duty comes before
motherhood and fatherhood.
"Where are mummy and
daddy?," the royal children
have all asked at one time or
another,
And on Tuesday it was the
turn of Prince Andrew-again.
On that day, in the nursery
of Buckingham Palace, this
self-assured, miniature edition
of his great roistering ances
tor, King Henry VIII, cele
brated his third birthday.
A few friends of his own
age were there and his gov
erness as well as liveried pal
ace flunkeys.
But mummy and daddy,
Queen Elizabeth and Prince
Philip, were touring Australia
And the palace staff hoped
Andrew was so intrigued by
his many presents-that he for.
got they were not there to
kiss and pet him
Parents Away
When Queen Elizabeth was
one year old her own parents
were In Australia for her
birthday. Prince Andrew, sec
ond In line to the throne has
been unusually unlucky. His
mother and father were on a
tour of Asia on his first birth
day.
Prince Philip was In Ecua
dor on his second birthday
he has missed all three of his
son's birthdays so far.
But this is one of the pen
alties that helps counterbal
ance the many privileges of
royal position. Not every
child lives in a palace with
moro than 700 rooms and
with a corridor 100 yards long
to use as a racecourse for his
pedal automobile.
Nor does every three-year-
old have his own coat of arms.
The queen recently awarded
Andrew a splendid version of
the royal arms to use for the
rest of his life as a sort of pre
birthday present. There are
heraldic anchors in the motif
these were included in the
coat of arms of his grand
father, George VI and great
grandfather George V, both
second sons who became
kings.
Although he is only three,
Florida Freeze May
Not Cause Shortages
Washington -WPD- Worrying
about the effect of the Florida
freeze?
Although there will be spot
shortages of some fresh fruits
and vegetables, notes the Na
tional Association of Food
Chains, some of the vegetable
production areas were not ef
fected and the supply of most
canned and frozen vegetables
and citrus should be ample.
Biggest shortage is expected
to be in fresh grapefruit.
Half of Population
Claimed Overweight
New York - (UPI) - Approxi
mately half the adult Ameri
can population is overweight,
life insurance statistics show.
Growing concern about the
associated problems has re
sulted in public consumption
of more than 750,000 Metrecal
meals in the last three years,
according to the Edward Dal
ton company division of Mead
Johnson and Company. .
BRED IN OL' KENTUCKY
Lexington, Ky. - (UP1I - A
total of 89 slakes for 2-year-olds,
worth $10,000 and over,
were run in 1962 with Ken
tucky bred thoroughbreds
winning 54 of them, accord
ing to Billy Thompson, exec
utive director of the Thor
oughbred . Breeders of Ken
tucky.
AVIATION NEED
Lock Haven, Pa. - (UPD - The
United States still needs 50,
000 community "air strips,"
according to President Wil
liam T. Piper qf Piper Air
craft company. He has cre
ated a staff of workers to
sell communities on the program.
Prince Andrew's future is al
ready beginning to shape up.
He will go to a kindergarten
day school when he is about
five and then to a boarding
school when he is nine. Later
he will go to a private school
such as Gordonstoun where
his brother Prince Charles, 14-year-old
heir to the throne, is
studying.
He will be trained to be an
ambassador for the throne
while his mother is still alive
and when his brother assumes
the crown. But without the
cares of office Andrew will
probably have a good deal
more fun out of life than the
more serious Charles, already
entering the dignified shad
ows of destiny.
May Marry Choice
Charles will almost certain
ly have to make a dynastic
marriage but Andrew can
marry for love, as he wishes
be she blue-blooded or red-
blooded
If looks are any criterion
Andrew may be the most fun-
loving member of the royal
set since his aunt, Princess
Margaret. With his broad
handsome face and character
istic stance, tummy out, he
bears a strong resemblance to
what the infant Henry VIII
must have looked like.
A palace source asked to de
scribe Andrew said: "He has
bags of personality." This has
been quite evident to the mil
lions of Britons who have
giggled in cinemas and before
television sets at the com
manding way the little fellow
strides ahead of the royal
party on station platforms and
at any other event to which
he is taken.
Enjoys Acclaim
He enjoys the public ac
claim and occasionally waves
to the crowds In imitation of
his parents. These will be
with him all his life - the
cheers of multitudes, nation
wide radio announcements of
his birthday, important serv
ice to the crown in far-away
lands.
Meanwhile he is only three
and where are mummy and
daddy?
