The hill, oart of the oovernor's
rsnronnizniinn dan. was eiven a
hearing by the House State and
Federal Affairs Committee.
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

have been wasted or) buying ob
solete bakery and plumbing
equipment for Dammasch State
Hospital, and that under the
board system, he can't place the
responsibility for it.
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.

Young Kennedy
To Lose Money
BOSTON (AP) - When Edward
M. Kennedy, youngest brother of
the President, agreed Feb. 7 to
waive a $5,000 salary and be a
$l-a-ycar assistant district attor
ney, he forgot about the state re
tirement law.
State Treasurer John T. 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.
The treasurer said an employe;
may waive his salary but not the
pension payment.
That means a net loss of $249
for $l-a-year Kennedy.
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. ..'.

Seven Bills
Are Signed
SALEM (AP) . Seven bills
were signed into law Wednesday
by Gov. Mark O. Hatfield.
One increased the appropria
tion of the Oregon Historical So
ciety, giving it $122,000 in the'
next biennium. It received $99,-1
C50 for the current biennium.
Another bill signed into law ex
tended tho special provisions nf
the civil defense act granting ex
traordinary powers to the gover-,
nor in the event of war until July
1, 1963.
Also signed were appropriation
bills for the boards of nursing,
accountancy, architect examin
ers, auctioneers and clock and
watch makers.
Oregon Senale Wednesday. 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.
