"T"' 1 TYlnl nlT Urs.'vessirs'.'I " '1 " Capitol Memo SjfSSESI , By Zdn Stark 11 Pay Cutback Would Cause Many To Quit By ZAN STARK United Press Inlernaliomil SALEM (UPI) - A cutback in legislators' pay could cause many lawmakers to resign and others to abandon plans to seek re-election. The result would be the loss of many of the state's most dedicated and hard working legislature. The pay issue has split the legislature. Some lawmakers believe they are performing a public serv ice, and should not . receive much pay. Others believe, just as sincerely, that even the high er pay scale now in effect is not adequate. Almost all agree that the pub lic has no idea how hard most of the lawmakers work. One of the Senate's most re spected and hard working mem bers said privately ho would have resigned if a pay increase had not been approved earlier this year, and he will quit if his pay is cut. Another legislator says h i s business income suffered so much during the session he needed the salary and expense money to feed himself and his family. Both are immune to the nor mal partisan abuse they suffer as legislators, but feel the pay issue is a matter of principle. Some legislators are quite wealthy. Others are not. There is no relation between wealth and dedication to the iol- Included in the ranks of "workers" and the few "play boys" are those who are finan cially independent as well as those who have to watch then pennies. While a pay hike from $50 in smn a month seems big, and a per diem allotment of S20 seems monumental compared to the old expense tormuia, u suu isn't very much. The salary and expenses for most lawmakers this year will total $5,060. Next year the total will be $3,000. That's $8,660 for two years.- Some lawmakers on interim committees will receive additional money for attending meetings-but it will just cover their expenses. . Few private businessmen would think of hiring a $4,300-a-vear man to run a $600-mil-lidn-a-vcar business. The argu ment that legislators work only four to six months a year does n't hold- because if. they do their job, they're at it al the time, not just while the legis lature is in session. , There was a lot of jockeying involved in the introduction m legislative pay cut bills in the recent special session. Few legislators will admit it, but the fact is the House ap proved a pay cut bill only after being assured the Senate would not act on it. 100 Cuban Families Will Be Relocated ' NEW YORK (UPI) - More than 100 Cuban refugee families will take off from Miami be fore Christmas on "Flights in Freedom" planes sponsored by Church World Service, relic arm of the National Council of Churches.

A frequent comment during the session was that the Senate could have played a marvelous practical joke on the House by enacting the pay cut bill. The public reaction will be known after Stacy Adams of Yoncalla begins circulation of petitions to initiate a pay cut. 4-H NEWS Snappy Sewers The October and November meetings of the Snappy Sewers 4-H Club were held at the home of Mrs. Ned Sheppard, the lead er. . , .

In view of the fact that Neil and Gert Open House Slated At Oregon State Corvallis Open House will be held Jan. 25 by Oregon State University to let high school students and their parents re view academic offerings and ca reer opportunities. . The program will center around school and department meetings and campus tours. Special sessions are planned on admissions requirements and procedures; student housing; fi nancial aid scholarships, loans, and employment possibilities; and student activities and or ganizations, 'i ! Each of the schools agricul ture, business and technology, education, engineering, forestry, home economics, humanities and social sciences, pharmacy, sci ence will hold meetings and question-and-answer periods in the afternoon. Profesors in every department will be available for individual conferences. The program is especially de signed for high school seniors and their parents but anyone in terested is i n vi t e d, it was stressed. Larry H.

How j turn , that threatened its very can they dream of separating existence. the tots? I'd contest that will in court. Mrs. S. C. This is a pain fully morbid subject and we cer tainly pray nothing happens to keep our children from raising their own youngsters. But I hope The Council can calm my husband down. He assumed, since Gert's mother is dead, that we'd take over if, God for bid, the worst happened. But Neil knows we're not equal to it physically. Besides those other homes have children, young pa tient parents with similar ideas. The Council: In the midst of life, as the dread ritual puts it, we must think far far ahead to what happens after. The young parents referred to will, we hope, keep those dangerous joint forays to a minimum while their responsibilities on terra firma are so vital. But their realistic position on the just-in-case pos sibility of tragedy is commend able. Knowing the grandparents and knowing their little ones, Neil and Gert feel it would be tough on both ends to live to gether. Perhaps the C.'s are too sot, too jumpy, too "shockable," too rusty. A court would ordin arily give priority to the stated wishes of the parents. Only if, at a later time, Mr. C. could prove that his grandsons were ill-cared for and that he'd do a better job, would he have a chance at in validating t h c guardianship clauses of the will. The grand parents could, of course, be the focus for reunions of the broth ers under one roof. Meanwhile, though, what else is new, Mr. C? The crisis the worst since France vetoed Britain's applica tion for Common Market mem bership 11 months ' ago w a s based on a deadlock in efforts to set unified farm prices and subsidies for the six market na tions. A meeting of Common Market agricultural ministers went into its third day with no sign of a break in the impasse between F.r a n c e and Germany, the body's two most powerful mem bers. French President Charles de Gaulle warned last July that France would "review" its Common Market policies unless the farm question were settled by Dec. 31, but later French statements had been interpreted to mean the deadline' was not firm. French Agriculture Minister Edgar Pisani warned the other delegates Tuesday, however, that the deadline "is not a leg end or a fantasy." He then left abruptly for Paris to consult his government, saying only that he might return to Brussels to day. Observers said the implied threat was that France would quit the market or boycott its ministerial meetings a crip pling blow unless the dead line is met, Trade experts said that if Ihe Common Market ceased to iunc tion Western Europe's econom ic expansion could grind to a halt. They said this could have a serious elfect on western oe fense planning The Common Market, formed six years ago as a step toward single European economic community, is composed of Franco, Germany, Italy, Bel gium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. France, which has large sur pluses of farm products, wants to keep down government price subsidies and sell its cheap ag ricultural products to Germany and other Common Market na tions. It wants the protection of high tariffs on farm products from non-market nations. Such a program could make France the most powerful na tion in Europe, on the basis of agricultural and industrial wealth. Germany wants high govern ment farm subsidies and low tariffs. The German govern ment is fearful of losing the farm vote if it drastically re duces the current high farm price supports. It favors low tariffs in order to continue buy ing much of its farm produce from non-market countries like the United States and Denmark, which are good customers for German manufactured goods.
