Newspaper Page TextHoward Sues County Over Back Salary Frank Z. Howard, Klamath county surveyor, has placed a damage luit against the county for approximately $9000 which ho sayi is due him for salary as surveyor between July 23, 1942, and June, 30, 1945. The question Involved con cerns an interpretation of the constitutional provision which in Oregon sets up the office of surveyor in each county and provides for his salary. The constitution provides for a surveyor who, in counties of between 39,000 and 45,000 pop ulation, shall receive as salary $10 a day "while actually and necessarily engaged in perform ing the duties" of the office, nlus five cents a mile for travel. to be paid by the county or the private party requiring the work done. . Howard maintains that he keeps his office in the court house basement open every day and should be paid for the time he spends in the office as well as the time spent outside the office on county business. That time, he says, has been spent in keeping indexes, records and surveys required of his office. County Court Disagrees The county court's contention is that he is paid for the work he does at the request of the county and not for the time he is not actually engaged in spe cific work for the county. Appended to Howard's com plaint and making it a book length legal document, are 73 pages of records of his daily work, noted as "Exhibit A," from July 23, 1942 to June 15, 1945. He complains that he has received no salary during that time. The work records have divid ed his endeavors into three categories: "specific jobs" for county; "private work"; and "routine work for county." It is the latter which is under scrut iny in this case. Howard contends that he is due S1370 for 137 days of work in 1942, $3030 for 303 days in 1943, $3060 for 306 days in 1944 and $1500 for 150 days in 1945 prior to June 15, a total of $8960, plus $195 inter est. Time Record Kept The record shows a notation of how his time was spent for every day during that time, con taining such notations as "office open eight hours, one hour spent on specific work, . two hours spent on private work. five hours spent on routine work." R. B. Maxwell is attorney for Howard in his suit against the county, and Clarence A. Humble will represent the county. This is the second suit . of this type which Howard has Drougni against xne county, we other two or three years ago which the county won.

House Refuses To Slash Loan WASHINGTON, July 13 (D The house refused today by a voice vote to reduce the pro posed loan to Britain from $3, 750,000,000 to $1,250,000,000. . Immediately thereafter, the members also rejected, by a 168 to 112 standing vote, an amend ment to require collateral for funds granted. Defeat of the proposals rep resented another smashing vic tory for the administration. Ear lier1, the house defeated, 180 to 19, a motion by Rep. Celler (D NY) to kill the loan ratification bill. The amendment to slash the proposed grant was by Rep. Bender (R-Ohio). It received only a scattering of votes, and only a few members spoke On it The collateral proposal, by nep. uirKsen (K-iii), was debat ed vigorously for nearly two hours, and was one of the key offerings of loan opponents. uirKsen asserted mat tne only sensible way to lend money is to demand security for it. The house defeated his amend ment however, after loan sup porters declared its approval would wreck the entire financial agreement with Britain. Dam Sites Approval Voiced By Engineer PORTLAND, Ore.,- July 13 CP) Brig. Gen. Roscoe C. Craw ford, assistant chief of the army engineers, declared today that both the Foster creek and The Dalles dam sites were "fine." Crawford described the Fos ter creek site as valuable for a power dam, and the latter for a combination navigation and power development. He arrived here last night after visiting both sites. Farm Funds Alloted For Fiscal Year Farm security funds for all programs in Klamath county were appropriated for the new fiscal year which began July 1, Harry E. Clark, county FSA su pervisor, was advised this week. Although funds for five-year operating goods loans and 40 year farm ownership are about the same as those budgeted last year, money for small water fa cility loans was substantially in creased. Every effort will be made to clear as soon as possible all vet eran and farmer applications and supplemental loans to FSA bor rowers carried over into July. Clark went on to say that they are prepared to process all new applications for water facility, group service, operating goods, or farm ownership loans. The county FSA committee, made up of John P. Kerns, John A. Short, Elmer K. Smith. Clifford C. Jen- kins and H. Earl Hamakcr, will i meet as often as is necessary to review auulicants and loans. Special attention will be given i every veteran wno is aDie to rent !,,, - HM1 town- - par. r.1,.1. iiy lur a luim uwui'iaiup lunii ill the county and is unable to se cure sufficient credit from usual sources, explained Clark. Farm ers' needs are expected to center largely around replacement of worn-out machinery and farm improvements delayed by the war. A heavy demand is expect ed for small water facilities for farmstead water, pasture irriga tion and improvement or repair of present water systems. Farm and home plans worked out with FSA borrowers for the coming year will stress placing each farm on a sound and profit able basis to weather unfavor able postwar price trends, said Clark. Diversified croo and live stock programs, a minimum of speculative cash crops and the raising of most of the family iood supply on the farm are be ing urged.

Life 1 Rent Curbs Considered At Portland PORTLAND, July 13 m The mayor's recommendation that Portland consider establishing local rent control before August 1 the date on which rent In creases would go into effect was before thecily council today. Mayor Earl Riley asked the council to consider both the ten ants' proposal, of continuing OPA ceilings, and the Inndlonls' suggestion of establishing a fair rental bureau which would act against individually reported "excessive rent" cases. Five hundred Portlnnders turned out to a. "buyers strike rally" last niiiht and voted to ask Oregon congressmen to buck price control. Speakers, predict ing high price increases should OPA be permanently discarded, urged local price ceilings if fed eral action fails. State Budget Director George K. Aiken suid Governor Snell was investigat ing possible price control. Robert Canon, chairman of the American veterans' committee, told the audience every house which raises rents unfairly will be picketed. His committee ex tended its picket lines yesterday from the downtown market to a residence where the tunant com plained of a rent increase from $16 to $35 a month. The price of butter dropped in several Portland stores to 73 and 76 cents, apparently pulled down by falling demand.
