The fishing industry had a good year, Konka said today, but finished up with only one processing plant working to near capadty in December. Inclement weather was mentioned by others as having an adverse effect on the current crab fishing season. The good quality of the crabs and the satisfactory market price should help the economy when weather conditions improve, he added. The tourist oriented industry generated additional job openings during the peak periods. Area and statewide convention groups were again in evidence throughout the year.

Konka said the retail trade employment and business activity did well in 1966. Starts on residences in comparison were few in number. The thinking of some members in the industry is that home building will improve in 1967, said Konka, and end on a higher level than the low of 1966. arily suspended from his chairmanship while charges against him were investigated by a House committee.

Powell, emerging from the House chamber visibly shaken jby the action, told newsmen: I think its a lynching. Before deposing Powell, Democrats turned down by a vote of 122 to 88 the milder leadership proposal offered by Rep. Abraham Multer, That plan, reportedly agreed to by Powell, would have had Powell temporarily step down as chairman while a special committee investigated charges against him.

ROBERT WHITTAKER Jaycees Present McCall said, we have been able to propose property tax relief far in excess of increased income taxes recommended. McCall is opposed to the sales tax. "Only if the legislature wishes to grant much more substantial property tax relief can there be justification for the assembly to refer a sales tax to the people, he said. School districts presently are limited only by the percentage they wish to tax themselves. McCall said the maximum levy of 1 per cent would permit adequate funding of the existing level of operations and normal growth.

He said he would present a more detailed tax plan when his budget is completed, probably around Feb. 1. $600 Per Child McCall urged the legislature to increase state school support to some $600 per child during the next biennium. He said if the program failed to provide enough support for Portland schools, a special grant program to deal with that problem will be recommended." He recommended that other special taxing districts put greater emphasis on user charg es and non-property tax sources 'Monte' Elected Speaker SALEM (UPI) The 54th session of the Oregon legislature formally convened at 8:30 a.m. today before adjourning for a joint session and the inauguration of Gov.

Tom McCall. Sen. E. D. Debbs Potts, D-Grants Pass as expected was elected president of the upper chamber by the coalition of conservative Democrats and Republicans.

He received 17 votes to 12 for liberal Democrat A1 Flegel of Roseburg. Sen. Victor Atiyeh, Portland, broke Republican ranks and cast his vote for Sen. Robert Elfstrom, R-Salem. F.

Monte Montgomery, R-Eugene, was elcted to his second consecutive term as House speaker, but be was challenged by Rep. James Redden, Democratic minority leader. Redden was nominated by Rep. Keith Skelton, D- Eugene. In explaining the nomination, Skelton said the majority of Democrats believe it is not good political practice to have a unanimous election.

Montgomery received 44 votes ail the Republican ballots and six from Democrats, including Redden. The GOP has a 38-22 majority in the lower chamber. Willner Nominates Flegel Flegel was nominated by Sen. Don Willner, Portland, who said representative government is best served when the political party which has elected the majority of senators has both the opportunity and the responsibility to organize the Senate and carry out its program. Potts pledged cooperation with the executive and the House in a brief speech.

Elected president pro tern was Sen. Dan Thiel, D-Astoria. The oath of office was administered by Supreme Court Justice William McAllister. -Montgomery thanked rep-, resentatives and called for strengthening the governmental role in pollution control, modernizing of election laws, education and innumerable other problems which face the legislature. Both chambers elected their staff.

High Court Throws Out Florida Plan WASHINGTON (UPI) The Supreme Court today threw out Floridas latest plan for reapportioning its legislature, holding that it strays, too far from the high courts one-man, one-vote edict. The 7 to 2 decision came as the Legislature was prepared to hold a special session in Tallahassee to take' up the question of revamping the state Constitution. The courts decision raised the question whether the Leg--a could legally convene as now constituted. Justice Byron R. White, writing the majority opinion for the court, said the state made no ettort to justify deviations from equality of population in redrawn legislative districts.

It seems quite obvious that the state could have come much closer to providing districts of equal pqpulation than it did, White wrote. 3 In Running A better economy" than expected for Southwestern Oregon was recorded in 1966 by the State Employment Service, according to Edward J. Konka, local manager. Unemployment, measured by weeks claimed, was consistently lower than in 1965 through July. In August it began edging upward to a peak rise of 33 per cent in December.

Overall, there was a 10 per cent decrease in unemployment over 1965. Konka said there were some labor shortages during the year in the lumber industry. The lumber industry hired personnel chi a replacement basis, and there were recurring shortages of chokersetters, falters and buckers. Recent large tract timber sales indicate ready availability of lumber in the coming year. Longshoring enjoyed a rather steady period of employment with but occasional short periods of unemployment.

He said this represented 5 to 6 per cent of the total. The aid director, Donald G. MacDonald, said the estimate was the result of an intensive investigation of losses and illegal diversion of aid shipments conducted over the past several weeks by the aid mission in Vietnam. In a statement, MacDonald said no more than 5 to 6 per cent of the $455 million worth of economic assistance goods were stolen or diverted from their intended uses. This would mean a maximum loss of $27.3 million to the U.S.

taxpayer. Other senior aid officials, meanwhile, told newsmen they were confident that the loss percentage could be cut down to 3 to 4 per cent this year as a result of tighter controls over the aid program. MacDonald said some of the lost and stolen aid goods undoubtedly wind up in the hands of the Viet Cong but that this was inevitable in a war where the Viet Cong are not physically distinguishable from the rest of the populace. The U.S. Aid program In Vietnam is by far the largest American aid program in the world.
