EMfielt! Olaims legislature By ANN H. PEARSON Salem -WPU- Gov. Mark Hatfield characterizes the 1963 Oregon legislature as thin-skinned and suffering from sensitivity over its pay hike. ... . He says it is hard-working, but timid and unlikely to veer far from the status quo. , The governor viewed the legislature at midterm in an interview in his wood-paneled private office. He found little progress so far and few signs the trend would change in the estimated eight or nine weeks remaining. "It is the most sensitive leg islature I have seen in some time," he said. He said the sensitivity de veloped around the legislative pay bill, which he termed the first and most substantial piece of legislation so far, and grew with criticism of the legislators' new salaries. Cilei Personal Attack Noting that he made "some very strong statements" in the past 10 days in defense of his budget, Hatfield said the leg islature "responded with a purely personal attack." ."The first word I have ut tered in defense of my budg et evokes this kind of re action," he said. Geneva Conference Marks Anniversary r.pnpva -IliPD- The 17-nation riicurmnment conference to day marked its first anniver sary still locked in a nuclear stalemate and under a Soviet warning that the talks may drone on for another decade. The Russian warning Wednesday deepened the gloom around the conference hall where the eight neutral delegations scheduled another meeting to work on their pro jected compromise proposal. No formal conference session was scheduled today. , Over the past il2 months, with intermittent recesses, ex changes between the Western delegations and the Russians and their satellites have fol lowed the cold war pattern. Since the conference resumed Feb. 12 after a holiday recess, the best ban talks have degen erated into a sterile volley of time-worn arguments. - The nuclear subcommittee of the United States, Britain and Russia has not even met because of the dispute over in spections. Hie West wants seven annual onslte inspec tions, but the Kremlin will permit no more than three on Soviet territory. r yP-s : i i mi i m v I : mil I I vy Put on the cool, polished look...

(UPI) Sovereign Immunity Law Near Approval by California Group Sacramento - IUPD - A com- plicated bill to restore sov ereign immunity to Califor nia was only a whisker away from approval by the Senate Judiciary committee today. The committee held a spe cial session Wednesday night lasting until nearly mid night to consider 48 sep arate amendments to the measure, authored by Sen. James A. Cobey (D-Merced). After the meeting, Cobey said he was optimistic that the bill will be sent to the Senate floor next week. The Amendments were sug gested by representatives of the state, county and city gov ernments. Most of them would extend immunity from law suit over that provided in the bill. For example, one amend ment suggested by Asst. Atty. Gen. Charles Barrett touch ed on the sensational Caryl Chessman case. Chessman was a convict author executed in San Quentin after writing a number of books, including one best seller. Barrett objected to a pro vision of the bill which would allow lawsuits against the state if a prisoner were un justly denied an opportuni ty to carry his case to a high er court. "We have been asked to grant typewriters, books and even secretaries to prisoners," Barrett said. Pie was concern ed that if these materials were denied the state could be sued. Result of Ruling But the bill was amended so a prisoner would first be made to prove he was unjust ly confined before he could sue the state for money dam ages. The sovereign immunity Stock Movements Extremely Narrow In Early Dealings New York-flJPn-Stock price movements were extremely narrow in quiet early dealings today. Apparently a commercial department projection of low er manufacturers' sales for the second quarter of the year caused Investors to resume the cautious policy they brief ly abandoned Wednesday when the market scored a fairly impressive advance. Chrysler gained a point and other motors firmed small fractions but t h e leading steels, chemicals, oils, and rails were narrowly mixed.

In 1961, the legislature ap proved a moratorium meas ure to halt the effect of the rulings for two years but this will expire in September. . Since the moratorium, claims totaling more than $43 million have been filed with the state board of control but have not been paid.

There is per haps a certain degree of frus tration that not more has been accomplished." Few Bills Passed The governor said the only major pieces of legislation to clear the legislature so far have been the pay bill, a par tial bond bill for higher edu cation buildings, and ratifica tion of , the anti-poll tax amendment to the U.S. con stitution. The session, he said, Is re strained by a basic philoso phy that fears to disturb the status quo. He said the Demo cratic - controlled legislature also is wary of accomplish ments that might accrue to the credit of the Republican governor. Hatfield said his own top priority items include tax re form, a sound education pro gram, traffic safety, tighter pollution laws, an improved medicare program, and reor ganization of several depart ments. He said he will fight on two fronts: by working with legislators, committees and groups, and by going to the people. The governor declined to say whether it was likely he would bring his veto power to bear. He said he would "be reluctant but not timid." He said he would prefer a con- Regional Edition MEDFORD Page 2A Tribune Rflaarrwi a js?a. MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY. MARCH1419i Spsifivity out structive effort to work diifferences.

"If the legislature . . . over riding any role I may have, seriously destroys, damages, decimates a program that is vital . . . they must bear the sole complete responsibility, and I will make the people aware of it." The governor said he will continue to play a dual role. He said he will cooperate in areas of agreement, and cham pion "the programs the peo ple have indicated they want" in areas of disagreement. He said he will act on the premise that the legislators can "disagree" without being "disagreeable." "I do not feel any loss of. cooperation whatsoever," he said. 000 SUPER MARKET 0 0 -LIMIT RIGHTS RESERVED - FREE DELIVERY 1 savings are great &3 APPLESAUCE 303 n 5,., 100 re araiatVw KARO IMITATION MAPLE SYRUP . . 3 1.00 CALIFORNIA DAYS TOUATO JUICE ... 4 -1.00 FROZEN FOODS French Fries.. lb.
