Snow In
By United Press International
Schools closed, industries shut
down and roads were blocked by
drifting snow across the eastern
half of the nation today in the
wake of one of the century's most
bitter cold waves.
Tile death loll from the six-day
siege of polar air climbed to 160.
Despite a slight break in the
cold wave, much of the nation
shivered in sub-zero temperatures
early today. The mercury plunged
below freezing across the south
land. The temperature dropped to 16
below at Minneapolis, Minn., ear
ly today ami fell to 13 above at
Atlanta, Ga.
Crop losses from Thursday's
cold wave were estimated at mil
lions of dollars in Alabama. Agri
culture Commissioner A. W. Todd
said the broiler industry suffered
$3 million losses and the state's
livestock industry also was hit
hard.
Upper air currents helped ward
off extensive damage to Florida's
already hard hit citrus crop. In
the Hio Grande Valley, citrus and
vegetable glowers girded for art
other hard freeze but many ex
pressed hope that earlier freezes
liave caused citrus trees to be
come dormant and withstand the
cold.
Near Blizzard Conditions
Blizzards socked western New
York state during the night. Along
the Lake Michigan shore in west
ern Michigan high winds piled
snow over highways and the
weather bureau said "near bliz
zard conditions" prevailed.
Abandoned automobiles lined the
roads from Michigan to New York
and hundreds of rural families
were marooned.
About half the schools in Ten
nessee remained closed today, as

Fight Flares In House
Over Legislator's Pay
SALEM (UPIl - The Oregon
House erupted in debate today
over an etlort to reduce pay pro
posed in the legislative salary bill.
The argument began as the bill
came up for final passage in the
House.
It calls for $3,000 per year for
legislators, plus $20 per day in
expenses up to 20 days.
Rep. Robert Smith, R-Burns,
asked the House for unanimous
consent to reduce the figures to
$1,800 and $15 per day.
When the House refused, Smith
moved to send the bill back to
the ways and means committee
for amendment.
Bazett For Bill
Hep. Sidney Bazetl, R-Grants
Pass, speaking for the bill, said
in terms of dollar value it repre
sents less pay than Oregon legis
lators received in 1880.
He said it also represents the
same sum that high school
students in his area receive for
office work after one year.
Smith replied he was fearful of
legislative "professionalism." He,
said legislative pay should only
match the costs of serving in the
legislature.
He said Ihe legislature faces
lax increases and budget cuts.
"We should start wilh our own
extravagances," he said.
Rep. Ken Maher, R-Portland. re

Barton said some $.V) million in
new revenues must be raised to

The main proposals to do this
are a net receipts income tax to
raise $1 million and a cigarette
tax to raLse $18 million.
Barton said a proposal to sub

be a mistake. He said it was up

said.
Barton said Thursday if the
people reject increased taxes, Ihe

Witnesses
On Revision
Take Stand
SALEM (UPP - "The funda
mental rules of the game ot
government should be set out m
a new slate constitution. Dr.
Charles McKinley told legislators
Thursday.
The longtime Reed College pro
fessor and current part-time pro
fessor at Portland Slate College
was the lead - off witness before
the Joint House-Senate Committee
on Constitutional Revision.
"The wider the popular appreci
ation ol the fundamental rules of
the game in our state govern
ment, the easier it will be to live
within it and by it," he said.
He said if non-fundamental pro
visions can be stripped away and
returned to the laws, "our basic
instrument will be far easier Tor
the citizen to understand "
McKinley was one of the first
witnesses to speak to the Oregon
Commission on Constitutional Re
vision in 1!W1 when it started
draftinc a new constitution for
Oregon.
The legislature must now pass
on Ihe commission's draft.
McKinley declined to comment
in detail on the draft. But he said
"in general; I think it represents
a considerable advance."
Four Areas Listed
He explored four areas where
he said the present century - old
constitution has fallen behind
changing state needs.
Legislature "It seems to me
that the major fault o Ihe consti
tution of Oregon ... is 'Is mistrust
of the state legislature." he said
Quoting William James' descrip
tion of the inside of an infant's
head, he said Ihe average citien
sees a legislature as "a blooming,
buzzing confusion."
He traced this In the difficulty
of understanding "M men, divided
nto Iwo houses, further divided
into a multitude of committees.'
"On the other hand," he said.
the slatus o( and esteem for gov-1
crnors has risen.
McKinley said Ihe K4 question
is "to provide the teamwork thai
is increasingly demanded between
partners in Ihe lawmaking
process.
Executive He said Oregon suf
fers from a "sprawling state ad
ministration." and from lack of
an executive branch headed by an
accountable, responsible governor.
Judicial The professor said
Oregon has not developed a genu
ine judicial "system."
Loral He said "(raiimentation
of activities into so many small
local units" has caused the stale
lo step in. He described an "ur
gent need to strengthen local gov
ernments . . . ."
