schools!
SALEM (UPD Organization of
the State Industrial Accident Com
mission (S1AC) was criticized in
a scathing report issued Friday
by tlie Legislative Fiscal Office.
The 10-page report, presented to
the Legislative Fiscal Committee
by principal analyst Cleighton
Pcnwell, was immediately chal
lenged by S1AC chairman William
Calahan.
Questioning by legislators after
the report was read brought out:
The commission was thinking
of going back to the reorganiza-

two new commissioners were ap
pointed by the governor.
Tliat the Finance and Admin
istration Department .was aware
the old reorganization was not
working, and is not convinced the
present plan is working well,
cither.
A charge by Callahan that the
old reorganization plan "was the
brainchild of commissioners Sid
ney B. Lewis and Emily P. Lo
gan," who were fired in June by
Gov. Mark Hatfield.
That while new commission
ers Charles Gill Jr. and Wilfred
Jordan were appointed on June
25, and abandoned the former re
organization program the follow-1
ing day, both insisted they had
several days to study the prob
lem before being sworn in."
Tartleuluri' Demanded
When Callahan challenged some
conclusions drawn by the report,
House Speaker Clarence Barton.
D-Coquille, ordered the commis
sioners to prepare a "bill of par
ticulars" on any inaccuracies.
The legislative committee also
directed the Finance and Admin
istration Department to review
"the former and present organi
zational structure of MAC and
present "the department's present
opinion regarding the necessity
for future change.".
Penwcll's report noted a sur

which led to reorganization, cost
$30,367, and pointed to net annual
savings of $180,724.
"However, tlie survey report
did not include the fact that it
would cost $161,030 to effect the
savings
Plan Was Resisted
Pcnwell also noted "the re
organization was subject to in
tense internal resistance. ... in
several instances, major deficien
cies in the organizational plan be
came known, but no positive ac
tion was taken to correct them
"Resistance to the reorganiza
tion originated among the com
mission itself . . , commissioner
Callahan was convinced it was
costly, ill advised, unnecessary
and would ultimately collapse
"Commissioner Callahan had
one important advantage that the
other commissioners did not
share: Long tenure on the com
mission which had given him an
intimate knowledge of actual op
erations and a close personal re
lationship with the staff.
"Motives aside, k is obvious
that the public interest was ob
