Secretary of State Howell Ap pling Jr. called it a disorganiza tion plan that would be more cost ly and less efficient. State Treasurer Howard C. Bel tun unt a statement that the board system Is efficient, and that the governor s plan would remove the institutions further from the people. The governor is chairman of the board, which runs the state Institutions. Box Office OPENS FRIDAY 4:00 P.M. First Showing of Swiss Family Robinson 4:30 P.M. ' . Regular Adm.

It would put the correctional inctlfiiiinnx in a department of corrections; the blind and deaf schools in the department of edu cation: the mental institutions in a division of mental health: and the tuberculosis hospitals in a health department. Freeman Holmer. state finance director, said the proposal would place more empnasis on pro-m-nms. Ho said the board de votes most of its time to mere housekeeping functions. Holmer said that no board of vntrnl mil 1H have the knowledge that would be available under re organization. But he admitted that the board does provide an ad vantage of havipg the experience of three members. He said the governor has no plan to recommend that the of fices of secretury of state and treasurer be made appointive by the governor. Both positions are elective bv the people. Annllns said he ooDoses "the nlan because it fails to accomp lish these very objectives under whose banner it masquerades.' Instead of reducing the num ber of state agencies, he said, it actually creates three more. Appling said that, for instance ho pnnlrln't see the loeic of nlac ing Hilicrest School tor uirls in the same department as the Li quor Commission, Racing Com mission and Military Department 'If would be en lentcnine. ne went on, "to learn what liquor, racing and soldiers have in com mon with a girl's school." He said the administrative scp nrallon of the institutions from one another would result in high er cost and loss of coordination and efficiency. Annlinir also denied that the bill would place increased respon cihllllv under the Governor, and that it would place "four layers nf hureaucratic insulation be tween the people and the institu- tlnns " Relton's statement was read by willlnm Rvnn. who retired last year after 14 years as secretary of the Board of Control. He said it is easier for people to see one of the three board I members about institution af fairs than it is to see the gov ernor. He minted out that the sec retary of slate and treasurer have much more time to deal with in stitution affairs than the gover nor does. He also said that the various boards of control have raised the standards of the institutions. "Usually one docs not break up a wlnnlnr team or a successful system for one that Is untried," ho said. Rep. Clarence Barton, D-Co- quille, chairman of the House WavR nnrl Means Committee bud- ported Die governor's plan. He said tnousands oi aounrs LAST 3 DAYS!

But with the governor's plan he would be able to put the blame on the governor, he said. "The Board of Control is not exercising proper control," Bar ton said. Then Rep. Grace O. Peck. D- Portland, chairman of the House Public Health and Welfare, vigor ously defended the Board of Con trol system. She said that Oregon's institu tions are the envy of other states, and that the board deserves the credit.. "No one man," she said, "can make a one-man show of the state government. This plan of the governor s is a serious mis take. It would be selling the in stitution inmates down the river." She said the slate Department of Finance and Administration "is getting to be pretty niuch of a monster, getting into little things it shouldn't get into. Rep. Norman Howard, D-Port-land, chairman of the State and Federal Affairs Committee, asked Holmer why the governor wanted the Board of Control abolished when he was in the legislature, why he wanted it retained in 1957 and 1959 when he was secretary of state and governor, and .why he now wants it abolished. Holmer 'replied: "That shows Mark Hatfield is still growing." Holmer joined the committee and the audience in a hearty laugh.

Dris-I coll notified Kennedy Tuesday all state employes must join the con tributory pension fund and pay in 5 per cent of annual base pay- In Kennedy's case $250.

Lato Diviilctlijil Is Often Best By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: You're a fine one to be telling a 42-year-old woman that she ought to be thrilled yet to be having a baby. How old are you anyway? Here this wom an has a . son in college and daughter in high school. Her life has just about reached the point where she can relax a little. And now she has to start with 4:00 a.m. feedings, whooping cough shots, diapers, baby food and the whole bit. I was 41 when my third son was born. My kids were in high school. Everyone told me how happy I should be. My husband was delirious with joy. -Men al ways are. Their lives don't change no matter how many kids are at home.) Well, I wasn't happy about It then and I'm not happy about it now. The little boy is three and he's wilder than the two older ones were, put together. Wherever I go people ask me how old my grandson is. It doesn't make sense to them that a woman my age' should have a boy m rompers And after shagging that kid night and day I know they're right. X-HAUSTED Dear X: Cheer up, Tools. When the two older ones are married and gone you'll be glad you have this boy at home. It may be hard to believe now but hundreds of mothers wrote to tell me that their late dividend was the best of all. Dear Ann: I'm a girl 18, high school senior, and old enough to know the boys with whom I want to go out. My mother is always arranging dates for me and I'm fed up with the creeps she decides are wonderful fellows. The guys are usually sons of her friends and they always seem to have rich fathers. This may be a coin cidence but she hasn't fixed me up with a poor fellow yet. Do I have the right to refuse. lo go with these fixed-up dates? She says her judgment is better than mine because she's older and has seen more of life. One fellow was 28 years old and I felt like I was out with my grandfather. Please hurry your ad vice. I need it. HELPLESS Dear Helpless: Tell your moth er you appreciate her Interest but you refuse to accept another Uxcd'Up date. She may mean well but she's not being fair to you. ..'.

Thp Highway Commission objects that it .would reduce highway construc tion money by $1 million a year. The measure was prepared by the Legislative Interim Commit tee on Highways. It said the big trucks now are paying too much. The Highway Commission says they ' don't pay their fair share, considering the damage . they cause to highwavs. After the vote, Sen. Richard Greener, D - Milwaukie, who! charged that the bill was a $1 million annual bonanza for the truckers, served notice he would mova to reconsider. But his chances of gaining the 10 votes he needs to defeat the bill are vir tually non-existent. ' The bill, which goes to the House if Groener's motion fails, would reduce taxes on trucks weighing more than 44,000 pounds. AU agree that truckers should pay their fair share of highway costs but this bill, would elim inate inequities, Sen. Anthony Yturri, D-Ontario, said in support of it. Sen. Al Flegel, D-Roseburg, said although he is in the truck ing business the bill would not help him. He said that big trucks should be taxed the same as oth er trucks. Yturri said the tax bite increas es at a constant rate on trucks up to 44,000 pounds but then jumps sharply upward on bigger rigs. He said this bill would make the climb steady. Groener said if highway taxe are to be reduced the break should go to all the motorists and not just big truckers. He said he saw no indication that the truck ers would reduce their rates to the public if they get the tax re duction. Improvements in highways.
