"We're sure they didn't get to Pasco," Earl W. Snyder, director of the Oregon Board of Aeronau tics, said of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Brown, both about 43, of San Le andro, Calif. Brown got his pilot's license only at Christmastime. At least five planes were in the air today, searching along the riv er from The Dalles, Ore., to Pas co. Snyder said. Brown and his wife flew to Port land from Hayward, Calif., Jan. 27. and while here Brown talked Andreoiwitn a friend, Ed Naylor, about nossib v investinc in Navlor's fish- jne an(i huntine lodce'in British Columbia. J. K. !cLoa" said the Browns had been his house guests here and that he saw them off at the Portland International Airport early on tlie morning of Jan. 30, when they left for Pasco. From that point on, Snyder said, the whereabouts of the cou ple is a mystery. The Browns told McLean they planned a brief stop in Pasco to visit friends and then were to rnn. Brown's two children.

Elmer Dean Husted, 20, forfeit ed $500 on a reckless driving charge and $150 for driving dur ing a period in which his driver's license was suspended. Husted, whose family lives at 3149 Butte Street, was arrested Saturday night after an 85-mile-an-hour chase through a Stewart-I Lenox residential area. A state police officer had stopped another car when Husted drove by and slammed on his brakes, his car sliding into a ditch. The officer told him to remain there but Hu sted sped off and drove at high speed through the residential area with his lights off. He was finally stopped at the corner of Balsam Drive and Granite Street. Judge Coe said Husted ndmil- ted both charges: City Briefs BETTY RAMSEY is recuperat ing in Klamath Valley Hospital from a broken leg received skiing at Mt. Shasta Sunday, MRS.

Tempo Of Legislature Picking Up Noticeably By REP. GEORGE FLITCRAFT Monday, Feb. 6, finds the 51st Legislative Assembly beginning its fifth week of" operation. An in crease in the tempo can be no ticed, and I imagine that, before long, we'll really be in high gear. The 25th day, which is the last day to request the drafting of bills by legislative counsel, has come and gone. Bills already in process with a priority rating can be introduced as they are re ceived from legislative counsel. Each legislator is allowed three priorities and, as the deadline ap proaches, these sometimes become quite valuable. AU other bills must be intro duced no later than the 35th day or be approved by the committee on rules and resolutions. During the next ten days it is anticipated that both the House and Senate will receive a flood of bills, mak ing our bill books even more pon derous. Much of this proposed legislation will be closely related, but reflecting the individual's thinking on the subject. With the influx of this new crop of bills, the picture concerning many is sues will become more . cloudy and confused. The areas being af fected to the greatest degree are education, taxation, reorganization and reapportionment. A classic example is the field of taxation. The word being circulated through the halls is that if you don't have a tax bill in, you are not a bona fide legislator. It is the re sponsibility of the committees to study these measures and by a process, similar to grading pota toes, attempt to fuse all the good points into a single, logical train of thought. Many of the flavorless so-called "housekeeping" bills have been attended to and the issues now coming before committees are pro-i viding greater interest and great er crowds. During the past week we have conducted hearings on House BUI 1001, the personal in come tax revision bill, and House Bill 1034, a bill repealing the prop erty tax exemption crops and de ciduous trees. Needless to say, both were well attended. HB 1001 eliminates all deductions, lowers tax rates and imposes a one per 23 Ago Monday, February 6, 1938 Mrs. Corl Steinseifer enter tained with a one o'clock luncheon for members of th Bethany circle of the First r'resbytenon church at her home, 517 Eldorado street on Thursdoy.

Oppon ents did not take issue with the bill in its entirety, but picked on the clauses that would affect their particular interests. For example, one group favored elimination o( deductions, but opposed the gross income tax feature, while other groups individually opposed the elimination of deductions for non business interests and contribu tions to charitable and and edu cational institutions. House Bill 1230, which would place a 100-day limit on the length of the legislative session, was de feated by a narrow margin this past week. Although I am not opposed to shorter sessions. I vot ed against this measure because of the accompanying dangers. The mad scramble caused by this sort of a deadline would inevit ably lead to the approval or dis approval of legislation without thorough consideration. It would increase the possibility of special sessions with additional expense to the taxpayer. House Bill 1314 should be of great interest to all counties. In past years, counties have turned much land, acquired through non payment of taxes, over to the state for rehabilitation. This bill requires the state to sell back to counties, so requesting, any forest lands previously conveyed to the state including the limber still on the land. It also provides a formula for the state to receive payment for the lands and ex penses incurred for rehabilitation. This measure opens the avenue toward getting these lands back on the tax rolls. ; For three days we have had a large number of 4-H Club mem bers visiting the capitol. They had an opportunity to sit in and observe the various phases of legislative process. We were very pleased to meet and visit with two from Klamath County, Sherry Hobson and Dick Owens.
