Disappointment
Over Legislative
Conference Told
Honolulu Meeting
Said Torn by Fight
SALEM ( UPI) Sen. Thomas
R. Mahoney (D-Portland) said
today the recent legislative con
ference in Hawaii "reminded
mc more of an Alabama mob
than a gathering of responsible
officials."
Mahoney and other Oregon
lawmakers who attended the Ha
waii sessions voiced disappoint
ment in this year's conference,
but said such meetings had
proved worthwhile over t h e
years.
Members Report
The comments were made at
today's meeting here of the
Legislative Counsel Committee
as members reported on the re
cent Hawaii trip.
Fifteen legislators and t w o
state officials attended at state
expense a week-long series
of meetings last month in the
island state.
Mahoney said he had "mixed
feelings" about the value of such
conferences, and commented "I
had a nice vacation. 1 didn't
learn anything that a high school
student couldn't have learned
in two or three hours of library
research.
Comparison Made
"I don't think the people of
Oregon got any more out of the
conference than they do when
the governor goes to a National
Governors' Conference," he
said.
House Speaker Clarence Bar
ton (D-Coquille) said "I'd just
as soon never see them (the
National Legislative Conference)
in Portland if they are going to
act like they did in Honolulu.
The 1965 conference is slated
to be held in Portland.
"I still have confidence in
the programs, in spite of the
Hawaii meet," Barton added.
This year's conference was
torn by a bitter fight over civil
rights.
Rep. C. R Hoyt (R-Corvallis)
also expressed disappointment
at the conference, but pointed
to ideas gained that could lead
to improvements in Oregon leg
islative procedures.
Sen. Donald Husband (R-Eu-genc)
commented: "1 was some
what disappointed. It wasn't the
best, or the worst conference.
But I do feel 1 learned much
of value. It was no vacation for

Proposed Policy
For Recreation
To Be Reviewed
The Jackson Countv Parks
and Recreation commission will
discuss a national recreation
policy for counties as proposed
by the National Association of
Counties when the commission
meets at 7 o'clock tonight at
Bard's Inn in Ashland.
Among the 18 points present
ed by NACO, possibly the one
receiving most discussion, will
be the recommendation that
counties investigate "the feasi
bility of utilizing Ihc user-fee
concept in meeting local de
mands for public recreation."
Another point is that county
leaders "should take the init
iative lo encourage and assist
in providing unsatisfied com
munity and neighborhood parks
and recreation needs," and rec
ommend the means of financ
ing such programs by Ihc area
lo be served.
Received Requests
Neil Led ward, county parks
and recreation director, noted
that he has received a number
of requests lo assist with local
recreation programs, but has
been unable to do so for lack
of personnel and pressure from
county programs.
The commission will also dis
cuss renewal of the Lily Glen
riding stables concession con
tract at Howard Prairie lake
for five years instead of the
present one year. The use of
the riding stables has increased
during Ihc latter part of the
recreation season, Lcdward
said. Labor Day saw a bigger
volume at Lily Glen than al the
riding stables at Lake of the
Woods, Lcdward said.
Establishment of speed con
trols on Emigrant lake road
ways also will be discussed.
