Teacher Pay Hike Bill
Enters Legislature Today
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
SALEM, Jon. 28 (AP) The drive by organized school
teachers for better pay reached the legislature today when
the house education committee introduced the Oregon Educa
tion association's bill to provide a $2400 minimum salary
for teachers; or double the present $1200 minimum.
Committee members, however, were skeptical whether the
legislature would go for the $2400, but they thought the
$1200 minimum might be increased by around $600. They
said many school districts would fight the $2400 minimum
on grounds their budgets wouldn't stand it.
The Oregon Education association says that unless teach
ers' salaries are boosted considerably, Oregon teachers will
go to Washington and California, which have $2400 mini
mums. .
Multnomah county educators advised their legislative dele
gation they don't like the bill to distribute the $16,000,000
onnuol basic state school suoDort fund because it would give
Multnomah county only $2,700,000 a year. They think they
ought to have $4,UUU,UUU, SO
hold a hearing on the Dm inurs-
day afternoon.
Th lecislative Interim com
mittee on prisoners, jails and
state institutions had severe crit
icism of those institutions in its
final report, but said the evils
could be cured by more funds
and more public awareness of
the problems.
The committee said the state
institutions are "over-crowded,
111 -equipped and under-financed,"
and that county and
city jails "suffer from age, pov
erty and inefficiency."
It said children in state in
stitutions are "shamefully neg
lected," and said-, the net result
of tile serious conditions at all
the institutions is added cost to
the taxpayer Decause oi me iau
ure to rehabilitate the inmates.
Moving the state penitentiary
and building an institution ior
delinquent women were recom
mended. The senate labor and indus
tries committee voted to intro
duce six bills for the state un
employment compensation com
mission. One would eliminate
charges against employers' ex
perience rating accounts in cases
where employes quit without
cause, are fired for misconduct
or refuse to take other employ
ment after a layoff.
Yet Roads
Cause Wrecks
Oregon's Traffic Accident
Facts for last year shows that
30 per cent of this state's road
mishaps occurred on wet, snowy,
and icy road surfaces, according
to Secretary of State Robert S.
Farrell, Jr.
"In several typical snow belt
states nearly 65 per cent of all
December, January and Feb
ruary wrecks occurred on snow
tovered or ice-coated surfaces,"
FarreH said.
In Oregon the number of
deaths per miles traveled was
double in February as compared
to the June figure last year. The
tendency for winter risks to far
exceed those of summer months
has persisted over a period of
years. Major winter hazards are
inadequate traction and reduced
visibility. .
"When starting out on a non
dry surface, get the 'feel' of the
road by trying your- brakes
while driving slowly and when
no other vehicles are near," Far
rell advised. "Even when roads
may appear to be clear, remem
ber that bridges or shaded sec
tions may present icy patches."
The practice of starting win
ter auto trips early to allow
plenty of time was heartily rec
ommended. Car Shortage End
Speeds Lumber Sale'
EUGENE, Jan. 28 (JP) The
lumber stacks, piled for months
on loading platforms of this re-
gion's sawmills, are beginning to
decline at last.
. The easing of the freight car
shortage has enabled more lum
ber to be shipped. Other contrib
uting factors are the resumption
of water shipping from Coos Bay,
tied up for months last year by
a jurisdictional dispute, and the
usual cold-weather decline in
logging.

From War Inspired Dreams
NEW YORK. Jan. 28 W He
got so he came every night
that tiger.
He came in my dreams before
dawn. I would be snoring away
and all of a sudden there would
be a great gold and black striped
Bengal tiger crouched on the
foot of my bed.
He was A beautiful tiger with
a terrible smile and a great slow
ly switching tail.
The first time he came I just
lay there silently, fearful that
he would catapult in a feartui
arc with me at the end. But the
tiger never left his haunches.
He yawned with that incred
ibly smug self-satisfied yawn of
the cat family, a delirious con
tentment of the muscles. Fas
cinated, I watched the stiff
bristled black lips part like
waves to disclose the red fur
nace of his mouth. The teeth
looked big as flagpoles, or like
white stalagmites and stalactites
in a firelit crimson cave.
I tried with my gaze to seize
and hold his fiery eyes black
pools in an amber wrapper. He
looked indifferently away.
Kittenish Attention
Then, through some unfortun
ate reflex, the big toe of my
right foot wiggled. He turned
to it with the quick attention of
a kitten.
He stretched out a fabulous
paw and I awoke, perspiring
like a tram window on a frigid
day. I told my wife about it the
next morning.
"Quit eating peanuts before
going to bed," she said.
But that tiger wasn't peanuts.
He came again a few nights
later. This time he grabbed my
right foot in both paws, put his
great mouth around it and I
woke up with my wife shaking
me and asking why I was mum
bling "help! help! help!"
It got so I didnt wake up

Routs Tiger
when he put my foot in his huge-
jaws, tie would crunch down
soundlessly, first on the toes of
my right foot and then the toes
of my left foot. I felt no pain,
but I couldn't stand the thought
of a tiger chewing on me.
And my wife each time woke
me up before the tiger even got
away with iny toes.
"What's eating you anyway?"
she would say crossly.
It was that tiger. My wife be-,
gan to think I must have some
thing on my conscience. I rend
drugstore dreambooks and Freud
and Jung and all the other Mar
co Polos of the sleep world.
Case Studies
They had some wonderful
case studies of dreams and some
even more wonderful interpre
tations of them. I never came
across anyone, however, who
had complained of a tiger gnaw
ing his toes.
The dreambooks suggested
that such nightmares reflect a
feeling of guilt or insecurity.
But I never have robbed an
orphan or knuckled my mother
or wife. And I am eating three
meals a day. What did I have
to worry about that would
dream up a bedside tiger every
night?
The other day I went to the
store and bought a new pair of
shoes. I had been wearing a pair
left over from before the war.

The dispute boiled up sudden

Several GOP member didn't
like It and said so when
house leaders decided the judic

mittee should curry tho ball on
portal pay legislation.
One of tho members, asking
tlmt his name be withheld, told
a reporter: .
"It's a political maneuver and
the most disheartening thing
that has developed within thu
party."
Another contended that tho
leadership Is "steamrollering
and side-trucking" the labor com

about It on the floor when the
house meets again on Wednes

Speaker Martin (Mass.), and
Malority Lender Ilulleck (Ind.)
