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.

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.

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. A
majority of the utilities shad
ed and Houston Lighting fell

bill resulted from a state su
preme court ruling in Janu
ary 1961 that the previously
accepted doctrine of immun
ity could no longer protect
tile state and other govern
mental entitles from law
suits. 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.

later.

"I did not intend deroga
tory comment against any in
dividual. "I will address myself force
fully, with great feeling, in
defense of my program. I
have an obligation to fight for
it.
"This legislature is very
hard working. 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-

May Use Veto
But he said, "I have never
shown any shyness in using
the veto stamp in the past."
Asked if he considered
chances good for approval of
much of his program, he de
clared, "certainly not based
on the record so far."
He left no doubt where he
would put the blame for lack
of accomplishment.
"The majority ' party con
trols . . and is responsible,"
he said.
"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.
