I NEW
LEGISLATURE
PJkTTT. W. HARVEY. JR.
. SALEM. Jan 8 W) The 1943
legislature will have several de
cided advantages In dealing with
Its many problems--it will be
one of the most experienced in
many years, it has an opportun
ity to.be the most united in
years, and will be led by a gov
ernor. Earl Snell, former speaKer
of the house, who knows his leg
islative ropes.
Of the 60 house members, 81
are republicans, while 27 of the
30 senators are republicans. This
factor, unless the republicans get
to scrapping among themselves,
should pave the way for unity.
The combined strength of the
left wingers is so small only
four or five out of the 80 leg
islatorsthat it scarcely will be
heard. -.
There will te 37 representa
tives and 22 senators with pre
vious legislative experience. So,
with strong leadership, the conv
lng assembly, the 42nd, would
have a chance to get its work
done quickly and efficiently.
;The speaker of the house will
be 37-year-old William M. Mc
Allister, Medford attorney,, who
was a candidate in 1941 but who
lost to Bobert S. Farrell, Jr,
now secretary of state.
There are two candidates for
president of the senate, each
claiming victory. They are
pretty Dorothy McCullough Lee,
Portland attorney, - who has
served in six legislatures, and
W H. Steiwer, Fossil stockman,
with four legislatures to his
credit.
Th ohnire will be made either
at a caucus here Sunday night,
or at the opening session Mon
day morning. If the election is
deadlocked, the inauguration of
Governor-elect Snell, set for 2
p. m. Monday in the house cham
ber, might be delayed.
Another difficulty that might
delay the opening of the session
is. the question of whether the
pro tern legislators, chosen by
county courts in the absence of
legislators who've gone to war,
shall be permitted to serve. This
question might not even be
brought up, but some legislators
: have questioned the legality of
the whole business.
Among the 60 house members,
there are 17 business men, 13
lawyers, 11 farmers, 8 insurance
men, 3 labor officials, and two
women.' -:
In the senate, which consists
of SO "; members, there are 8
lawyers, 8 farmers, 3 doctors, 3
insurance men, . 7 businessmen,
' and one woman.
'Dean pf the senate is W. H.
Strayer, Baker democrat, with
14 legislators behind him, while
H." C. Wheeler, Lane county re
publican, is next in line with 9.
; Harvey Wells, Portland repub
lican, is dean of the house, hav
ing served in 7 legislatures. Next
in-line, with 3 legislatures each,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 VP
The famous 19th bombardment
group and three Oregonians
among its personnel have won
more laurels.
The war department' disclosed
yesterday .in announcing indi
vidual decorations to 20 officers
and. 23 enlisted men that their
outfit the one to which Capt.
Colin Kelly belonged has been
cited as a unit for the fourth
time.
The group's planes have de
stroyed 350 Japanese planes in
the air and about the same num
ber on the ground while send
ing'" 200 enemy surface ships to
the bottom, war department offi
cials estimated. Last time the
group was cited It was for cover
ing the marines' landing on
Guadalcanal but the latest cita
tion is for "actions, details of
which have not - yet been an
nounced." First Lieut. Robert H. Rankin,
whose mother is Mrs. R. A. Ran
kin ' of Eugene, and Technical
Sgt Charles C Schierholz, whose
father is C. C. Schierholz of
Portland,-have been awarded the
silver star.
Howard Abbey, Japs to
The Contrary, Is Still
Very Much on the Map
The Japs said they had blown
him "off the map" but Sergeant
Howard D. Abbey of Klamath
Falls stayed right on the map
and wrote a letter to The Herald
and News telling about his ex.
periences.
"Perhaps you remember read
ing a small article in the paper
in the latter part of October of
a bombing that took place in
India -by the Japanese, wrote
Sergeant Abbey, who is an aer
ial engineer with the ferrying
command in India.
' "As for myself, we were Just
getting ready to take off for
China when they came over. By
a few seconds we barely missed
being shot out of the air on
takeoff. Over the radio we
heard a propaganda broadcast
that we had been "blown off
the map.' But we're still here
and without a casualty, too.
' "We fly In the daytime, and
take care of the maintenance at
night, often with only the aid
of flashlights, since there isn't
the modern equipment here as
at home."
Relating his experiences on a
trip to China to bring back Chi
nese soldiers. Sergeant Abbey
comments on the extreme pa
triotism of all the Chinese peo
ple, their loyalty to each other
and to American soldiers.
"Sometime before we were to
leave, I saw a line of young men.
students from a nearby school,
with paper sacks in their hands.
They had come te wish the sol
diers good luck, and gave each
one a sack containing food.
"One soldier, a boy of 13 or
so, began to. cry a little. The
leader of the group went over
and kissed him. The little fel
low stopped crying and smiled.
I learned later that the boy was
already a veteran of China's war
with Japan."
Obtaining leave one evening,
Sergeant Abbey and a friend
visited in town, noticing that
ricksha traffic is so thick that
it is necessary to look to the
right and left before crossing
the street
"We noticed a man in a store
sucking on a bamboo; we went
in and made motions with our
hands. All at once he said, 'You
guys want to smoke this?'
"After discovering that he
could murder English as well
as we do, we asked if we could
smoke it. It contained water.
He lighted tobacco on the out
side, and then sucked the smoke
up through the water. We could
hear the gurgle and see the
smoke. As for us, we couldn't
even get a gurgle."
The value of American money,
in China had the boys puzzled
at first, when upon ordering
fried chicken they found their
bill to be 524. Fortunately, how
ever, they discovered that one
dollar of our money is equal to
50 Chinese 'yen.
"Lucky it was China,' he concluded.
U. S. National Bank Shows
Ail-Time High in Deposits
The United States National
bank, which has one of its im
portant units in this city, dis
closes in its statement of condi
tion to the United States comp
troller as of December 31, 1942,
deposits totaling $294,702,266.64,
which is an all time high. This
compared with deposits of De
cember 31, 1941 of $196,182,
635.29 shows a deposit gain of
over 98 millions. Resources in
its latest current statement were
5307,742.190.52 against $208,
552,012.38 of just a year ago, a
gain of over 99 millions.
As pointed out by officials of
the bank, this is the first time
in Oregon's history that the re
sources of any bank in this state
reached the amazing total of 300
million dollars.
During the past year the cap
ital structure of the United
States National bank underwent
a change, one million dollars
from earnings having been added
to surplus, making capital and
surplus equal a total of 10 mil-

with undivided profits and re

which greatly broadens its loan

It is understood from the man

the phenominal gains over the
past year not only reflect the
war time Industrial upheaval in
the Portland area, but vitally
stimulated activity throughout
the state at large.

shortages," Price Administrator
Leon Henderson stated.'
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan., 8 (P)
The farm labor situation will im
prove in 1943, thanks to hard
boiled federal plans.
L. C. Stoll, area director for
the war manpower commission,
made that promise to the North
west Canners association last
night.
"Only negligible losses were
Incurred by growers as the re
sult of labor shortages during
1943," ho said, "and the outlook
for 1943 is even better as the re
sult of hard-boiled plans to pro
vide adequate labor to sow, cul
tivate and harvest crops In every
section of the state."
The manpower commission
and the U. S. employment serv
ice will locate workers through
occupational questionnaires, he
said, and make appeals for vol
unteers unnecessary this year.
