The News-Review from Roseburg, Oregon • Page 2

I The News-Review, Roseburg, Feb. 19, Humor Relieves Strain Legislative Session (Continued from Page One) good spats took place on the House floor. The subject of the controversy was a resolution aimed at raising 1 the pay of the islator's from $400 to $600 a sion, which would have the of being a daily pay of $7.50, if a session lasts 8 days. I am sure there was not a legislator present who felt that that was an unreasonably large amount to ask the taxpayers of the state. But there great deal of argument.

Paul (or should there say "Representative Geddes" 50 will be no misunderstanding) argued against the resolution much as we could use the extra money--because he felt that right now, with every department of state activity wanting larger budget allotments, and with the institutions and hospitals desperately needing money and with the whole tax picture presenting a serious problem, it is not a very good time to start asking for more money for the legislators. would Of course any such not go into effect until the next session and so actually the men were not voting on their own salaries, necessarily. And of course the people of the state will be given an opportunity to vote on any such bill, and probably a lot of people would feel that seven and a half a day was more than necessary even though the average hotel room here is costing around six dollars a day. However, to return to the point of humor, I felt that Representatative Wilhelm phrased it very accurately when he said during the debate, that we were faced with absurd situation, for probably every member of the House is heartily in favor of a pay increase and yet about half of them will feel that they must vote against The resolution did pass with a small majority. To state the general set up in another way I'll have to quote husband Paul again.

He informed the members of the House that they as legislators could sympathize with this little I just got out of jail this a traveler told fellow traveler on the train. 'It's going to be tough facing old at home'. "'I can sympathize with answered the other. 'I'm just getting home from the State Legislature'." Most of my friends and relatives seemed to think it was very funny when they read in the Oregon Voter in a comment on my newscolumn that I was Esther Geddes, Roseburg attorney. I've been told that living together sometimes causes people to resemble profesisonal each other, abilities but are not contag: ious.

I hope the constituents all over the state of Oregon are keeping their ability to see the light side of -things during this session.

Belgard, in jail on the non-support charge, WaS ordered leased by the judge, and Crumpacker, had been on bail, was freed of his bond.

Investigation of the County Home revealed the place to be "crowded," that with the patients there now being taken care of the building is very much overcrowded; that the building inside looked very delapidated in its present condition, and the jurors urged that the county proceed as rapidly as possible with the construction of a new proper and and adequate building building program adequate the care of the county's aged citizens.

Mysterious Ship Call Tells of Threat to Kill NEW YORK, Feb. (P) -An incoherent series of messages, one of them saying "they are trying to kill me," was flashed over the Atlantic ocean today, apparently from the American Ship William Phips. The Coast Guard said here the cryptic signals began with an SOS picked up at 1:27 a. m. (EST) by the Army Transport Gen.

Stuart Heintzelman near the Azores. Later on, the transport informed the Coast Guard it received another message. Partly garbled, it was pieced together to form the words, "trying to kill me. Please get a bearing." The Coast Guard said British shortwave listeners confirmed the mystery signals, quoting one of them as saying, "Got Pierce radio operator locked in radio. They're trying to kill me.

Help, smoking me out." A Coast Guard spokesman said he could throw no light on the mysterious messages. "We can't tell what's going on," he said. The William Phips, a 7.176-ton vessel registered at Portland, passed Gibraltar yesterday. It was en route to Galveston, Tex. WHO'S A DRIP?
