Permanent Auto
Plates Proposed
A proposal to issue permanent
automobile license plates in Ore
gon is described by Secretary of
State Earl T. Newbry in an article
in the December issue of “The
Oregon Motorist,” publication of
the Oregon State Motor associa
tion.
The proposal to make license
plates “follow the owner" rather
than remaining with the vehicle,
is said to be an economy measure
affecting a saving of approxi
mately $300,000 annually in ad
ministrative expenses.
Under the proposal, as explain
ed by Secretary of State Newbry,
license plates issued in 1950 would
bear not to exceed five digits. The
number would be preceded by a
removal date tab and in front of
the tab would be a smaller num
ber designating the month of ex
piration. Thus, expiration of li
cense plates would be staggered
over a twelve month period, ra
ther than expiring at the end of
the year, as at present.
“Substantial savings will ac.ure
through elimination of an tanual
special number, plate costdi ex
tra employment and postal .costs,”
the secretary of state says. “Ex
perience of other states with the
registration following the owner,
rather than the vehicle, has re
sulted in a much closer control of
vehicles, both from the administra
tive and enforcement positions.
Automobile thefts have been ma
terially reduced.”
The secretary of state will sub
mit his proposal to the legisla
ture, seeking the right to stagger
expiration dates. The present law
permits the secretary of state to
issue permanent plates, but the
staggering of expiration dates is
deemed necessary to enable the
state to change to the new system
with a minimumu degree of in
convenience.

Pension Regulations
Veterans over 55 years of age
who have non-service connected
disabilities may now qualify for
veterans administration pensions
under recent regulation changes,
the VA reports.
VA regulations now sn»cify that
a veteran, age 55, with a non
service connected disability rating
of 60 per cent for one or more
disabilities permanent in nature,
and who is unemployable, may be
considered permanently and totally
disabled for VA persion purposes.
Previously, a disability rating of
60 per cent for one permanent
disability, or a combined rating of
70 per cent with one or more rat
able at 40 per cent, was required.
At age 60, veterans may quali
fy for VA pensions if they have
non-service connected disabilities
rated 50 per cent in degree and
are unable to follow a substanially
gainful occupation because of the
disability. At age 65, th-' dis
ability requirement is only 10 per
cent.
The VA emphasizes that the
regulation change effects only
pensions for non-servic» connected
disabilities, as distinguished from
the compensation paid for service-
connected ailments.
