Ground rules for a public we!

been received by the county wel
fare department. The information
outlines state requirements, a n
aciaiis operation oi a pilot pro
gram. ' '.!.
snouio a worK relief program

would require able bodied men to
work for the general assistance

these unemployed men to c o n
umme ineir own worn in ex
change for welfare funds.'
A transmittal letter from Miss
Jeanne Jewctt, state welfare ad
ministrator, said the pilot work
relief program was started Jan
uary 5 in Polk County under
amended rules of the Stale Pub
lic Welfare Commission and
through joint planning by t h
siaie ana I'oik county commis
sions.
State rules, as amended, define
the work relief program as one
in which able bodied men would
work on county public works or
improvements "for the period of
time limited by the amount .-
oi general assistance tney. re
ceive. -
They require medical examina
lions of these men before relief
employment, and specify they
may be relused general assist
ance funds if they refuse to
work, or work unsatisfactorily.
On that basis, here are the
major conditions Polk County set
up:
1. The counly welfare depart
ment will refer eligible men "to
a designated officer or employe'
who will supervise the work pro
gram.
2. The supervisor will attempt
to employ men according to their
ability and capacity.
3. Men will be employed at $1
an hour and may earn an
amount equal to the welfare
funds their families receive each
week. The limit is 40 hours ($401
week.
4. The county will provide
transportation to work sites, and
the welfare commission will pay
for transportation.
5. The county will provide tools
and equipment, and such cloth
ing, safety equipment and spe
cial appliances as the men may
need.
6. The county will provide the
jobs, and keep record of the
hours each man. works.
7--.No. relatives; of countyi coun
ly welfare, or state welfare com
mission employes may partici
pate in the work relief program
The county must provide
workmen s compensation cover
age, or adequate private insur
ance i coverage, for work relief
employes. It also must pay on
behalf of work relief employes
any deductions required to be
made as an employer."
Klamath County presently has
no active plans for a work, re
lief program. It sought informa

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) A
study plan for a monorail, system
running from Belmont under San
Francisco Bay to Oakland and
Richmond was presented Saturday
to the engineers of the San Francis
co Bay Area Rapid Transit Dis
trict. , , ... - ...'.,-. :
The monorail system proposed
by the Alweg System, would cov
er the entire route: from' Belmont
to either-. Hayward: or-Richmond
in 55 minutes at speeds, up to
65 or; 75 miles per hour. Alweg
has built monorail systems in Co
logne, Germany, and Disneyland.
"Alweg ' monorail ! transit has
been developed in full detail and
is capable of providing the Bay
Area with a mass rapid transit
system that is economical in' con
struction and operation," said Six-
ten Holmquist, personal represent
ative in the United States of Axel
Wenner-Gren, Swedish industrial
ist and financier, Holmquist .made
the presentation on behalf of a
Wenner-Gren a f f i 1 i a t e. RaDid
iransit systems o California,
Holmquist said a total of $328,-
700,000 would pay for the sub
aqueous tube across the bay, sub
way construction between San
Francisco and Oakland, stations
repair shops and yards, signalling
systems and other equipment.
iwenty five million dollars of
the sum would be spent on mono
rail cars, he said. He said the
system would run on a 24-hour a
day basis.
'It is impossible for us at this
lime to recommend what zones
should be established and what
fare should be charged," Holm
quist said, "but it is obvious from
the figures developed to date that
standard fare of only 25 cents
would make this a paying proposition."
He said that with a 25-cent fare
the system would net $1,400,000
annually. The route will collect
more than $23,600,000 in fare and
concession revenue, costs, includ
ing bond redemption and operat
ing expenses, will be an esti
mated $22,250,000, he said.
Holmquist proposed the con
struction costs would be paid by
40-ycar bond issue, car costs
with a 30-year bond issue.
He estimated the monorail sys
tem would carry the following
loads: Belmont to San Francisco
and Oakland, 48,100 passengers
daily; Richmond to Oakland and
San Francisco, 49,800; Hayward
to Oakland," 196,000; Oakland to
Richmond, 40,000; Oakland to San
Francisco, 44,700.

mier Nikita S. Khrushchev for the
poor 1959 grain harvest, has been
removed from his post as Com
munist party secretary in Kazak
hstan, the Soviet press indicated
Saturday.
Belyaev was among deputies of
the Supreme Soviet who received
various awards for services and
achievements during the just-con
cluded parliament session.
But a Tass announcement Fri
day night and a story in the gov
ernment newspaper Izvestia Satur

as party secretary of the grain
growing republic in Central Asia.
Belyaev was listed among four
men awarded medals for "labor
prowess" for the ; produeiion , of
meat and other agricultural
products.
The other three men ' awarded
the coveted "labor valor" medal
were identified as party secre
taries of Latvias, Kirghiz and
Estonia. .
A member of the ruling party
presidium, Belyaev was sent to
Kazakhstan in 1957 to handle the
agricultural situation, including
Khrushchev'! virgin land1-' pro

Khrushchev had sharply? criti

Boom Lowered
Oh Pioneers
WESTPORT. Wash. (AP)-The
Coast Guard lowered the boom
Friday on a group of adventurers
bound for the Galapagos Islands
in a 30-year-old converted refrig
erator ship.
Make your vessel seaworthy or
face arrest, was the gist of a state
ment delivered to Don Harrsch,
leader of the expedition, by three
Coast Guard officers. The ultima
tum came from Rear Adm. Allen
Winbeck, commander of the 13th
Coast Guard Gist.
'We're .not worried," said
Harrsch. "There is nothing of any
consequence wrong with this
boat.".
He referred to the 100-foot vessel
Alert, which had to be escorted
into this port by the Coast Guard
early Friday when water seaped
through the hull and into the en
gine room.
The three officers were to in
spect the ship.
If they inspect my vessel and
ccme up with a list of repairs they
feel should be made, I won't lake
the Alert, out of the harbor,
Harrsch said. "They're the law as
far as I'm 'concerned."
Once a vessel has asked for and
received Coast Guard assistance,
it is subject lo safety measures
dictated by the Coast Guard, an
officer explained. " '
The Alert and her 19 passengers
were headed for San Pedro,
Calif., Friday to pick up 13 more
persons. The adventurers hope to
establish a self-supporting colony
on San Cristobol . Island on the
equator 5,000 miles away.

Wilson Tells
Why He Left
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - Dr. O.
Meredith Wilson, back at his desk
to wind up his job as University
of Oregon president, told a news
conference Friday why he chose
to leave.
Wilson, newly named president
of the University of Minnesota,
said he felt he could better con
tribute to education at the bigger
University of Minnesota than at
Oregon.
This, he said, was the advice
of his advisers in the academic
world. '
Generally speaking, Wilson
said, a university president has a
limited period of effectiveness,
although he believed he still could
serve effectively several more
years at Oregon.
Wilson said he may take some
associates from Oregon to Min
nesota vwith-i him. He said in a
position such as university presi
dent there is a need for "intimate
help." He said those he might
take would be "to satisfy that
need." He did' not single out any
individuals.
Dr. John R. Richards, state
higher education system chancel
lor, said, "The Board of Higher
Education and I consider Dr. Wil
son's loss to Oregon to be a most
serious one. .The University of
Oregon under Dr. Wilson's leader
ship has risen .-as rapidly as any
university in the United Slates."
Wilson said " both he and his
family have been happy in
Eugene and he said they also ex
pected to like Minneapolis.
