Norma Paulus is resting on a makeshift couch in the back of her white campaign van as it travels down the Willamette Valley. She has been up since before 6 am, when she and her driver left her home in Salem for Portland, to be at Hyster Corporation’s plant on NE Clackamas Street to greet workers at a workshift change at 7:30 am. “Hi. My name is Norma Paulus. I’m a candidate for secretary of state.” Paulus is a Republican, running against Democrat Blaine Whipple. Downtown for a one-hour newspaper interview. Then to Cascade Corp., for a walk-through of the entire plant to meet workers, and on to a noon speech before a group of assembled Kiwanis Club presidents at a restaurant in Montavilla. The interior of the campaign van is decorated with political bumper stickers representing a few years of Oregon elections. The outside sports a large “Norma Paulus for secretary of state’ ’ emblem. Getting up from the couch, Paulus says, “Packwood won on the theory that if you [ could win Eastern and Southern Oregon and hold your own in the [Willamette] Valley, you could win the state.” The van leaves the freeway, passes through Salem and heads for Dallas. In Dallas, Paulus meets a Polk County Republican party official. They were to greet a shift change at a Willamette Industries plant, but the Kiwanis luncheon kept them too long in Portland. So they will walk through the Polk County Courthouse, a marvelous old ivy-covered stone structure with a chiming clock tower and a picture of President James K. Polk in the main reception room. Paulus will end her campaign day with a dinner speech to the Professional Mortgage Women of Marion County in Salem. Blaine Whipple was up before 5 am Tuesday. By 5:30 he was on the road to Grants Pass, logger country. En route he stopped in Sutherlin to visit with everyone he could find on its main street and the publisher of the town’s newspaper. He arrived in Grants Pass at 11 am and spent the day doing radio and newspaper inter interviews, views, a Kiwanis meeting, two shift changes at plants and a public coffee. By 7 am on Wednesday he was addressing the Medford Chamber of Commerce. The downstate swing is critical to Phase turn to page 6 PAULUS AT HYSTER Can she raise the money? tough it out barbara gundler Continued from 6 our opinion, so it was like starting from scratch. We got 60 people together from all over the state in Salem for an organizational meeting on a day in July. We have about 4,000 names in the card file. We have a couple of geographic holes, but other otherwise wise the leadership is filled.” Paulus’ organization plans to get 12,000 lawn signs out next weekend. It is doing precinct analysis of the state in preparation for canvassing. ‘‘We want to get to 60 per cent of the homes in the state,” says Whitman, “going first to swing voters while holding the Republicans.” The campaign plans to do telephoning in conjunction with the Republican National Committee. Whitman plans to put $90,000 of the $120,000 finance goal into heavy media—television, outdoor boards, radio and perhaps a newspaper tabloid supplement. Eight serve on the Paulus strategy committee: Whitman, public relations man John Fencsak, lawyer Jack Faust, former legislative candidate Marilyn Ridgely, Equitable Savings & Loan Chairman of the Board Bill Love, lawyer Jim Peterson, Salem state Rep. Wally Carson, Salem lawyer Dave Rhoten and Gerber Advertising ex executive ecutive Ralph Davis. Love and Ridgely are state finance chairmen. Jerry Whipple, a lumberman, is downstate finance chairman. Davis will do the ad campaign, and Fencsak is the cam campaign paign public relations man. Whipple’s campaign manager is Bill Garrett, who ran Morris Udall’s campaign in Oregon and then became Udall’s national field director. He has also consulted on campaigns in other states and worked for the Oregon Bureau of Labor’s Civil Rights Divi Division. sion. His headquarters is located at 3524 SE 52nd Ave. “I met Blaine through the antiwar movement,” says Garrett. “He’s been around on the right sides of issues I’ve been interested in for .a long time.” Whipple’s will be a grassroots, rather than an organizational cam campaign. paign. “We won’t do a solid organi organizational zational campaign,” says Garrett.I There will be no lawn signs or| canvassing, but Garrett is doing analy analysis sis to target precincts around Oregon 1 for radio advertising and a literature drop or two. Rather than strong organization, Whipple’s strength always has been the ability to build issues into visibility and name familiarity, an area where he leads Paulus by 72 per cent to 59 per cent, according to a recent statewide poll. The question tor Paulus will be whether her organization can raise the large amount of money she had budgeted and execute the large-scale canvass and lawn sign efforts. The question for Whipple will be whether his grassroots effort at raising money will succeed; whether his appeal based on issues will kindle loyalty among Democrats. Issues and ads 4. Advertising and issues. While Whipple’s promotional material is more value-laden (“Stand up for the candidate who stands up for you.”) than Paulus ’ (“ Give Oregon our best: Norma Paulus”), both candidates have developed issues to use against each other. The main issue that Paulus is working against Whipple is his vote in favor of the addition to the state Capitol, which she voted against. That issue gained new life last week when the Oregon Supreme Court ruled the revenue bond financing scheme cre created ated by the legislature was unconstitu unconstitutional tional and the $11.5 million for it would have to come out of the general fund. Other issues Paulus will use against Whipple are his vote on the open primary—she voted for it and he against, and his 1975 vote for a pay increase for legislators, while she voted against it. In addition to his attack on Paulus’ timber yield tax vote, Whipple scores Paulus for her opposition to Ballot Measure 7, which would allow public funding for general election campaigns in Oregon. In her Voters Pamphlet statement, Paulus says the measure would allow ‘ ‘financing expensive unrestricted personal political cam campaigns paigns ” Last Friday in La Grande, Whipple j said Paulus’ statement was “.. .de .deceptive ceptive and intellectually dishonest.! I The financing is restricted in several I Sways. Anybody seeking this office! [should be above reproach. A state- lment like this disqualifies her for the [office.” If Whipple maintains the kind of | sharp attack he launched at Paulus in I that La Grande speech, a major factor I will be how well Paulus can counter- j punch and whether she can lay into [Whipple effectively. Sources of support 5. External factors. “There is sup support port for a woman candidate in this state, but it is in the Democratic Party,” says Paulus. Therein lies her campaign’s essential task, to bite into Independent and Democratic voters, not just because a woman candidate might fare better among Democrats, but because Paulus is of the Republi Republican can left wing, and because Democrats greatly outnumber Republicans. Whipple must keep Democrats away from Paulus by appealing to their recognition of issues he has fought for. Paulus will have the endorsement of the most visible bipartisan political women’s group in the state, the Oregon Women’s PoliticalCaucus. Anne Feeney, chairpersoi of the Portland steering committe, says, “Yes, we will endorse Pauls, based on her answers to our quetionnaire and her good record. Whipjs was the only candidate for a major ffice that didn’t answer our questionnire in the primary.” Another card in Paulus’ fwor is the state AFL-CIO’s decision mt to en endorse dorse Whipple. That decison stems from Whipple’s attacks on state Sen. Dick Groener, his opponeit during the primary election. Goener is known as labor’s closest poitical ally in the legislature. ‘ ‘I’m goiig to sit it out on this one,” says Gnener. “I wouldn’t endorse him.” The newspapers around Oregon are generally a strong influence on elec elections, tions, with news coverage and espe especially cially their editorial endorsements. Another factor will be how long the coattails of the presidential candidates become on election day, helping Democratic or Republican candidates down the ballot. This race shows every sign of going right down to the wire, generating a lot of emotion and bitterness. The key questions will be: Can Paulus raise the big money she -needs for her strategy? Will Whipple’s free-wheel free-wheeling ing grassroots campaign catch fire? Which candidate will come out ahead in the attacks and counterattacks that are likely and in the many joint appearances that are scheduled? •NORMA PAULUS Tlldoajour-year term' BLAINE WHIPPLE 'I won’t pledge four years’ Whipple- Paulus Continued from 1 Whipple’s strategy, which his cam campaign paign manager Bill Garrett describes as, “Hold up the bottom of the state and clobber them here in the tri tricounty county area. ’ ’ Whipple and Paulus are engaged in one of Oregon’s toughest physical challenges, trying to woo all of its voters. An Oregon statewide political cam campaign paign is an immense undertaking. Most experts say the minimum entry fee is $100,000. Oregon’s 96,981 square miles contain a number of distinct geographical-political divi divisions, sions, and the art of a statewide campaign is to conceptualize the combination of blocs that will lead to victory. A Umatilla County Democrat is not a Coos County Democrat is not a Lane County Democrat is not a Multnomah County Democrat. A Deschutes County Tom McCall Re Republican publican is not a Polk County Walter Huss Republican. For the candidate it is a grueling journey on the road or in the air, 12- to 16-hour days, six-and-a-half-day weeks spent building support, culti cultivating vating people, putting together the winning combination. I I The race for Oregon secretary of state between Norma Paulus and Blaine Whipple will probably become the hottest and closest statewide race on our ballot in November. While it is the first statewide general election race for both candi candidates, dates, they are.strong, savvy, running hard and playing for keeps. Already they have launched attacks at each | other’s records. Before election day, i most of Oregon will have the opportu opportunity nity to see Paulus and Whipple, j Several joint appearances are planned, including one on KOIN-TV Sept. 20, another on KATU-TV Oct. 10 and a debate before the Portland City Club Oct. 15. While both candidates present well- thought-out plans for the office of secretary of state, it’s not an office that excites the public imagination. It has perhaps more political potential than real power in state government. The governor is much more visible, the treasurer handles more money and the attorney general can flex more muscle. But Mark Hatfield and Tom Mc McCall Call used the secretary of state’s office on the first floor of the Oregon State Capitol as a launching pad for the trip upstairs to the governor’s suite on the second floor. With its various respon responsibilities, sibilities, the office provides its occu occupant pant a full-time political platform, and that makes for name familiarity. “I have no intention of running for governor next time [1978],” says Paulus. “To give credibility to a woman in the office, I’ll do a four-year term and do it better than anyone else has. ’ ’ Says Blaine Whipple, “It’s possible that I’d run. Of course, I won’t pledge four years. If Straub doesn’t run and I’ve done a good job, .I’ll run. I’m not placing any limits on my horizon.” If the governor should die or become disabled the secretary of state is first in line of succession under a constitutional amendment Oregon’s voters approved in 1972. It is too early to make odds on the Paulus-Whipple race, but several factors that will determine its outcome are already apparent. The race pits a large, well-thought- out “Packwood-type” organization against a largely volunteer, free freewheeling wheeling Democratic grassroots or- I ganization, a better-funded (Paulus) against a well-funded (Whipple) cam campaign paign and an appeal based on issues (Whipple) against an appeal based more on person (Paulus). In addition to name familiarity (which is a small factor because neither candidate crosses the thresh threshold old of high statewide recognition), five distinct factors are critical to deter determining mining the outcome of a statewide political race: 1) the candidates and their personal appeal; 2) money avail able to their campaigns; 3) their organizations and strategies; 4) ad advertising vertising and issues; and 5) a group of other factors which are external to the campaign (voter registration and turn turnout, out, the candidates’ sexes, editorial endorsements by the state’s news newspapers papers and the influence of the presidential election). Who they are 1. The Candidates. Paulus and Whipple are unusual people—intelli people—intelligent, gent, bold, tough and hard-working. They are also both thorough-going politicians. Paulus’ family came to Burns, Ore., from Nebraska during the De Depression. pression. Two details from Paulus’ life reveal her toughness. She had a bout with polio as a young woman, and she won admission to Willamette Univer University’s sity’s College of Law having only a Bums high school diploma. After working for the Harney County dis district trict attorney, a Salem law firm and the Oregon Supreme Court chief justice, she had absorbed enough law to petition Willamette and be admitted to law school. She has practiced law since admis admission sion to the state bar in 1962. Her husband, Bill, is also a lawyer. She was elected to the 1971,1973 and 1975 Oregon legislatures as representative of a Salem district. Blaine Whipple came to Oregon in 1957 to be a graduate assistant at the University of Oregon -Journalism School. He began his long association with Oregon Democratic Party poli politics tics in 1958, managing the successful Charles Porter campaign for Con- Igress. Whipple has been associated [with the liberal wing of the Demo- jcratic Party. He ran unsuccessfully for |the First District congressional seat in 1962 against Walter Norblad and in 1964 against Wendell Wyatt, losing narrowly the second time. He ran unsuccessfully for a Washington County state senate seat in 1966. But i Whipple’s association with the anti- Iwar movement of the ’60s brought [him media exposure and prominence land election as the Democratic state jcommittee an in 1968 and 1972. He [headed both the McCarthy and Mc- ovem campaigns in Oregon. Whipple finally won legislative of office fice in 1974, defeating incumbent Washington County state Sen. Tom Hartung, considered as upset victory. While Whipple’s profession is poli politics, tics, his vocation is real estate proper property ty counselor. He is president of his own company, Whipple Development Corporation. “It meets my family’s needs,” says Whipple. “It also offers me the flexibility necessary for poli politics. tics. In 1975,1 spent no more than five months at it during the legislative session.” Paulus, 43, is clearly the more colorful candidate, and she gains I visibility because she is a woman. Whipple, 46, gives a solid but some- I what gray appearance. During their first joint appearance Aug. 3 in ! Tigard, Paulus presented a more [relaxed platform, manner; Whipple’s [speech was without much inflection, I speaking at the audience rather than to lit. Both candidates bogged down in addressing the details of the secretary of state’s responsibilities, but Paulus got off a good opener. Announcing she had a new slogan, based on the Charmin tissue television commercial, she warned: “Don’t let Mr. Whipple put the squeeze on you.” Whipple opened his speech with a Polish joke. The appeal of Oregon’s last state statewide wide woman candidate, Betty Roberts, suffered from a hard edge in her appearance, which was reinforced by a I hard edge in her speech. Paulus projects a soft-edged appearance, but her speaking manner is more hard- edged. It is probably a more salable combination. In another way, candidates must show themselves in order to attract loyalty among workers and support among voters. It’s well known that non-verbal messages generally carry I more information to people than verbal. In this area, Whipple’s basical basically ly gray appearance is augmented by somewhat stiff body language, while Paulus’ looser, hip body language is more ingratiating. It must be ob served, also, that while placing a hand on the arm of the listener is an ancient politician’s move, it does achieve a new dimension when the politician is a woman and the listener a man. The dollars 2. Money. While most experts say that $100,000 is the minimum neces necessary sary for a high-gear statewide cam campaign paign in Oregon, political fund-raising is slow for all candidates this year. Republican candidates are generally able to raise more money than Demo Democrats, crats, and this race is no exception. Paulus spent more in her primary campaign ($40,000) than Whipple did in his ($26,000), and she plans to spend more in the general election ($120,000) than Whipple ($44,000). Primary election campaign contri contribution bution and expenditure reports filed with the secretary of state’s office showed Paulus’ largest contributors were from the lumber industry. She received $500 from Weyerhaeuser, $200 from Crown Zellerbach, $400 from Boise Cascade, $300 from Georgia-Pacific and $1,000 from two officials of Willamette Industries. Paulus also raised $1,000 from the Oregon Committee for Action, the political fund of the Associated Gener General al Contractors. Paulus’ $8,000 deficit in the primary was covered by a loan from her husband. I While Paulus is generally consid considered ered a liberal Republican, Whipple thinks he has found a soft spot in her lumber industry support. He points to her vote against the timber yield tax bill in the 1975 legislature and notes that she has been flown about the state in a Louisiana-Pacific Corp. Lear Jet. Paulus says she did fly in the jet once, and that the in-kind contribution by Louisiana-Pacific will be reported, i Whipple’s soft spot is land use issues. Based on 1975 legislative Lotes, Paulus got a higher rating from [he Oregon Environmental Council [87 per cent) on her 1975 legislative toting record than Whipple (74 per Whipple’s primary campaign con contributions tributions were mainly in small amounts, but he did receive $1,000 from Robert Randall Co. (construction and rentals). Whipple ended the cam campaign paign with a $3,000 deficit, which is still outstanding. As of last week, Paulus’ campaign had raised $15,000 and just kicked off its major fund-raising drive. Whipple’s campaign projects that it will have between $10,000 and $13,000 raised by this week and is kicking off its grassroots fund raising campaign with an advertisement in the Oregon Labor Press, headlined, “Good government starts with hon honest, est, straightforward campaigning. This kind of campaigning must be paid for by you. . .not by the giant special- interest groups or multinational cor corporations.” porations.” Organizing the campaign 3. Organization and strategy. “We made a very serious error in the primary campaign,” says Paulus. “They just scheduled me for speak speaking. ing. There were no lawn signs. Polls indicated that a serious obstacle for me would be conservative Republicans. Where they didn’t know either of us [Paulus or her Republican primary opponent, John Kelting], they chose the man. Also, we had no ballot slogan. ’ ’ After the primary election Paulus hired Karen Whitman to run her general election campaign. Whitman ran Lee Johnson’s re-election cam campaign paign in 1972 and Bob Packwood’s re-election campaign in 1974. Her first major action was to move the campaign headquarters to Portland, renaming the Salem office the Home Office. “I felt I couldn’t disturb the Salem following and family, but I moved the leadership up here,” says Whitman. Portland headquarters is on the SW Front Avenue level of the Benjamin Franklin Bldg. “I’ve been knocking around politics for a long time, and the level of commitment in this campaign is high—it has not been hard to find leadership,” says Whit Whitman. man. “The reservoir of what was left after the primary wasn’t sufficient, in Please turn to page 12Pa ulus Foes Favor Measure 2 By CHARLES t.

Norma Paulus as she stormed out of the hearings by the Joint Interim Committee on the Judiciary Friday morning. The hearings were held at the order of Jason Boe, president of the Senate, to investigate the temporary release program at OSP. “Anytime something goes wrong in state government, old Jason appoints a com committee mittee to investigate it. It’s just another way to get his name in the paper so that he can tell his constituents that he’s finally doing something,” Rep. Paulus told the Times Saturday night. “His committee games are ok sometimes, but the last time somebody played politics with the penitentiary they burned the place down,” she said. “I think the whole thing is irresponsible on Jason’s part. And it’s about time somebody told him where to get off,” Paulus said. Boe’s Answer Speaking with the Times from Portland, Boe had answers for Rep. Paulus’ charges. “If there were any truth to the allegation that I was politicking, then I would have been there at the hearings to bask in the limelight,” he said. “This is no witch hunt. It’s the Legislature’s duty to look into matters for which it appropriates funds and over which it has control. The public was outraged by the Bowles’ escape; we heard from a number of citizens who were terribly upset, so I thought it necessary that we investigate it,” Boe said. “Norma’s were the political remarks,” he added in reference to Rep. Paulus’ remarks, “She was the one spouting off.” Hearing Testimony Amos Reed, administrator of the Corrections Division, appeared before the committee to testify on the temporary leave program. Calling it “one of the most valuable programs we have,” Reed presented an impressive statistical defense of the leave policy. “In 1973 we had 1,962 leaves of from one hour to 30 days. And during that time we had only 26 prisoners abscond. That’s a rate of only 1.33 per cent. Only five of those, men are still at large, and none of them has been in any serious trouble that we know of,” he said. “And there’s no way the law can rule out all failures,” he added. ‘The new rules are adequate enough if they’re followed.” Hoyt Cupp, the superintendent at OSP, joined Reed in defense of the leave policy. He accepted blame for Bowles’ escape, calling his own acts “a serious error in judgment.” Much of the criticism leveled against Cupp has been for his not following the usual leave procedures in the Bowles’ case. Ordinarily a prisoner applies to his counselor for a pass. A staff team from the prisoner’s cell block then reviews the application. If they approve it, they pass it on to a review committee made up of prison supervisory personnel. If the re review view committee agrees with the staff rec recommendation, ommendation, it forwards the matter to the prison superintendent who has the final mendation, it forwards the matter to the prison superintendent who has the final say on the prisoner’s pass. In the Bowles’ case, application was not made through the normal channels. Instead Bowles applied directly to Cupp, and Cupp approved the pass without getting staff opinions. Cupp’s Defense Cupp defended his procedure saying, “Based on my experience and judgment, I thought that the release of Bowles was the proper thing. I was wrong, but that just happens now and then.” He bypassed the staff in considering Bowles’ pass because of his personal knowledge of Bowles, he said. “I’d wanted to get to know what kind of individual we had because of the significance of his crime,” he said, explaining why he knew Bpwles so well. Bowles had gone on a crime spree in 1965, killing a policeman and kidnapping several other persons. Cupp expressed confidence that Bowles’ escape did not pose too much risk to the public. “I think we really got to Carl. I don’t think he’ll hurt anybody. He just wants to be free. After all, since the age of 15, Carl has been out of prison only three weeks,” he said. Bowles is 33. Reed and Cupp were joined in testifying before the committee by other prison officials and interested parties. Testifying on the behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union was Fredrick Marrow, associate professor of law at the University of Oregon. “The ACLU ap approves proves of the leave plan as a most helpful rehabilitative program,” he said. “It deals with the most counterproductive aspect of incarceration-isolation from society.” Also present at the hearing was Roger Brooks, a student from Eugene. Brooks, who was sentenced to two life terms at OSP after his conviction for several armed robberies, was released from the prison through an educational program. “Very safe” Saying that he had been permitted to leave the prison on more than 80 passes while he was serving his sentence, Brooks told the Times that he thought the program was very safe. “The prisoners with long sentences are least likely to abuse it and take off,” he said. “They have the most to lose if they do, so they appreciate it most.” Brooks also said that an important point that had not been brought up at the hearings is that prisoners are screened for a long time before they become eligible for the release program. Was it only an excuse? “The Carl Bowles affair was only the excuse that the Corrections Division used to change the pass program at the prison, it wasn’t the real cause,” said Robert Lee Burns, former prisoner at OSP and a long-time friend of Bowles, a recent escapee. The change in the pass program that Burns referred to was ordered by Amos Reed, head of the Corrections Division, which controls all of the state’s prisons. The new rules, issued several days after the Bowles escape, impose new restric restrictions tions on the granting of passes. Most significant among the changes is the requirement that all passes to prisoners with life sentences must be checked with the Corrections Division. Expressed concern Burns expressed concern that the very program which enabled him to leave prison early is now being curtailed. “Cupp was being so effective with the program that the Corrections people were getting a little afraid,” he said. “They’re pretty conservative over there and they like to move very slowly.” “The response was very good to the program, and for some reason that scared the ole-timers at the Corrections Division,” he said. “It’s porobable that they had the new rules all drawn up and ready to file when this happened, and they just used the occasion to announce them,” Burns said bitterly. This same charge was suggested to Reed at a news conference several days after the imposition of the new rules. At that time, Reed was asked why the tighter rules were not drawn up earlier if the corrections division thought they were so necessary. Reed made no direct answer to the question. “Probably hiding” Asked what he thought Bowles was doing at this time, Burns said that he was probably hiding quietly-, waiting for the “heat” to cool off.“I just wish he’d come back and work with Mr. Cupp for a few years so that he could get out and be really free,” he said. “I know him and I think that’s what he wants most-freedom.” DOWN THE SLIPPERY SLIDE - Clayton Careson of Salem and his son Shawn, 2, enjoy the giant slide of Playland Shows during weekend fun at the Lancaster Mall parking area.

The Salem Times last week became the city’s only hometown newspaper with the announcement of the acquisition of the Oregon Statesman and Capitol Journal newspapers by the Rochester, New York- based publishing chain of Gannett Co., Inc. which owns 54 other newspapers in 17 states. The transaction actually involved the exchange of 447,168 shares of Gannett common stock valued at $15,300,000, according to reports. The Gannett-owned papers formerly were owned equally by the Sprague and Mainwaring families. No personnelSee Page 4 Cry of Love yells HELP It’s elementary, It. Kelly Social passes at an impasse? By Jim McGowan Times' Staff Writer See Page 13 Salem employers desperate for help See Page 7 On May 17, Carl Bowles, a convicted murderer serving a life sentence at the Oregon State Penitentiary (OSP), walked away from a Salem motel. He was at the motel visiting with his girlfriend, Joan Coberly, on a four-hour social pass from the prison. Mrs. Coberly, 23, is presently married to a California man, but is separated from him. According to the State Police, he calls her a "missing person." Though she had represented herself as a friend of Bowles' during several visits to the prison, Mrs. Coberly is Bowles' niece by marriage. Bowles received his pass as part of a program authorized under Oregon's Temporary Leave Law.The law,passed in 1955 and amended several times since then, provides for the circumstances under which a convicted felon can be released from prison for periods of up to 30 days. Among the reasons for such releases are bedside visits to seriously ill relatives, attendance at relatives' funerals, visits to prospective employers when the prisoner is within 30 days of his release, and any other reason "consistent with approv approved ed rehabilitation and corrections practices." It is under this latter language that the social pass given to Carl Bowles was issued. Since Bowles' escape, the social pass program and Hoyt C. Cupp, OSP superin superintendent, tendent, have received intense criticism from across the state. Gov. Tom McCall ordered a State Police investigation of the escape; Jason Boe, president of the Senate, in instructed structed the Joint Interim Committee on the Judiciary to conduct an inquiry into the release program; and Amos Reed, ad administrator ministrator of the Oregon Corrections Division, issued a change in the rules for issuing temporary passes to prisoners with life sentences. These various reactions to Bowles' escape have themselves been the subject of much controversy. On Page 2 is a treatment of some of the greater points of contention in the af affair. fair.

POSTAGE PAID SALEM, OR PERMIT NO. 270SALEM TIMES, May 30, 1974 - Page 3 ELECTION RESULTS State of Oregon Unofficial returns Word has it that those social passes at the Oregon state correction institution are welcome for a reason nobody guessed. If the sanitary conditions in the kitchen are any indication of the quality of the food dispensed, those fellows want out for an occasional square meal, not round heels. I think this fella has a legitimate gripe. Seems he bought car license plates the other day to discover the new ruling that requires purchase of two years’ plates at one pop. Well, this chap wants to sell his car in six months. Makes no never mind. He still has to come up with the cash for plates for two years and there is no rebate. He is irate. So are a lot of other people. Some states with similar rulings allow a rebate within a certain period of time. Ecology-minded European countries have it down to a science: They issue one license plate and one number for the life of the car. Looks funny as all get out to see a shiny chauffeur-driven Rolls tooling down the autobaun or carreras with a cardboard license plate dangling on store string. Driving to Salem from Highway 99W the other day, we came through that quiet little town of Amity. Just to the north of town, an enterprising chap is building a log cabin. A real log cabin. Drive by one spring day and watch ... it’s fascinating, a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and one man’s answer to this awful plastic society. Dale Ross, the Times’ classified ad manager, got a call at six ayem the other day. Not from a potential want ad customer, but from a couple who had just returned to their home in Vancouver and wanted to tell somebody at the Times how much they’d enjoyed the copy of our newspaper they’d picked up at VIPs while they were in town. Now that was a nice gesture, even at six a.m. Oh. Vancouver, B.C. What’s this again? How come it didn’t mention on the Salem city ballot that the compensation allowance in increase crease asked for the mayor and the councilmen - is in addition to the car allowance? At this writing, nobody knows if it will pass or not, but whatever the outcome, it’s an interesting point, and one not too well publicized. Even by the Times. Tut tut. Tom Ullmer, producer of Pentacle’s fantastic production of “I Do! I Do! ” last week, stepped in for lead man Steven Oakey, who was playing the leading role of a fellow down with the flu. Tom had directed, prodded, coerced and cajoled the brilliant play through rehearsals, countdown and ultimate success...but didn’t really know the singing role. Nevertheless, true to tradition, he did t 2 impossible, to standing ovations and generous gratitude f the sick-a-bed Steve. It’s a perfect play, and so is Nanc Cooney,” said the shy young actor-director - and that what show biz is all about. Well, the Times newsroom thought they had a real coup - thought they had a super dooper picture of Governor Tom’s and Bob Lindsey’s jumping frogs that won Governor and Mayor awards at the annual Calaveras county frog jumping contest a week ago, in California. Placed first in both races, Gov. Tom’s frog, “John’s Long Tom” jumping some 16 feet, but Mayor Bob’s “Passing Gas” pooped out after 17-feet, 11”, or some such. And the fella from the Salem team who raced the frogs wasn’t even in the picture. He took it! Sure were some red faces around here. Earlier in this column, I spoke of both Amity and of painting traffic lane lines and such. Noticed while driving through Amity that there was a crew of youngsters busily engaged painting the yellow no-parking curb areas of that neat little town. What kinds of paying jobs are there for vacationing Salem youngsters old enough, willing, anxious and looking for summer jobs? I want to know if Superman really streaks to a rescue. Not long ago, I identified a coffee drinking buddy as an attorney. Among the sancitified aberations of that profession and a good many others, it is considered bad form to string a career handle before one’s name, because it might come under the heading of advertising. Now, have you ever heard anything sillier? Who ever heard of a doctor, politician, department head or any other professional person not being publicly referred to by the title for which they schooled, trained, strained and rightly earned.

He has shown a capacity for hard work that few legislators can match. He has preserved his accessibility to his constituents and stands as an example of the very best of the Democratic party. His record shows a knack for voting for the best legislation, against the rest. As a working Democrat, 1 feel that Mr. Wolfer has been ignoring the Democratic party for a long time. I fear he has fallen victim to a favorite trick of the Nixon wing, where a weak Democrat falls for a promise, a few chunks of rank garbage draw the sharks, a few well-publicized statements decide the vote according to gullibility, giving the Repub Republicans licans another patsy to knock off and another seat safely into their pockets. I feel sorry for Wolfer, but that is more than offset by his record of haphazard voting and rash action. I urge every Democrat to vote for Keith Burbidge. DONALD M. BEALE 960 Cottage St NE Wrong emphasis Your election editorials have been, on the whole, honest and perceptive. Your discussion of my campaign for Congress in the 2nd District was one of the most extensive I have seen so far, and I thank you for your statement that I am a good thinker with good ideas. I must disagree with the emphasis you place on Congressman Ullman’s seniority, and remind you of your Dec. 22, 1972, editorial urging that Congress get rid of the seniority system. Obviously, we can’t get rid of the seniority system if we persist in re-electing incumbents as a reward for survival, rather than quality of leadership. Seniority is not an issue in this campaign. A major overhaul of the House committee system is well on its way, and the handwriting is on the wall for those who have stood in the way of congressional modernization all these years. Common Cause has pinpointed Con Congressman gressman Ullman as one of the House Demo Democrats crats who have obstructed congressional re reform. form. Let’s remember what Harry Truman said: “You don’t set a fox to watching the chickens just because he’s had a lot of experience in the henhouse.” STEVE ANDERSON 468 State SL Need new judge We need a new municipal judge. Orlin Anson is offering us the opportunity. We have a right to a judge that is always courteous and fair. He will bring vitality to the court. He is pleasant, bright, always courteous and fair. A judge is a public servant. He must be aware of public needs. There is a need for evening session of municipal court. Orlin Anson will give the people the opportunity to be heard without losing time from work and lost pay. His night of the court is just one illustration of his awareness of the needs of citizens of Salem, and a basic concept of fairness. We can improve the courts with the election of Orlin Anson. Let’s all get out on May 28 and vote for him. He will indeed make a fine judge. VIRGINIA HAMILTON 1375 Woodacre Drive SE Tough but fair I am writing in support of Sen. Betty Roberts for governor of Oregon. Sen. Roberts, distinguished by ten productive years in the Oregon House of Representatives and Senate, is perhaps best known for her work with the problems of aging and for her leading role in the passage of the Oregon bottle bill. Beyond this, working as vice-chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the Senate, she has illustrated a comprehensive understanding of the complex fiscal matters involving all our state agencies. A tough, yet fair-minded person, Sen. Roberts would make an excellent governor. failed, and the society will be strengthened or bettered by the exhilarating illusion now so popular that the people are somehow the real executive power of government and a great court of justice. Those people whose bad conduct of government is now exposed and whose mean characters are seen are not so different from the rest of us. It is now 150 years since Goethe lamented “how tame and weak life itself has become during the last two shabby centuries. Where do we now meet an original nature?” That from a man who knew Beethoven, Napoleon and Lord Byron and who knew of Robespierre and Jevferson. He was talking about the few people who make enormous differences to whole civilizations, of course. But before we had more substantial things to denounce Mr. Nixon for, there used to be many complaints about his “lack of style” (whatever that is) in the White House. Standards and expectations change, you see. But the standards and expectations that count most in the health of the society are those we have for ourselves and for one another. We are suffering from a lack of concern for the quality of individuals and from too much concern about what is decep deceptively tively called the quality of life, a phrase apparently denoting personal ease, conve convenience, nience, unlimited and undetermined personal opportunity, increasing wealth, comfort and privilege and a total lack of restraint. Judged by those standards, we would have to say that the quality of life in the White House in recent years was pretty good. But something went wrong. It has gone wrong with all of us for some time. National events in the last decade and more have been like the lurching jolts of a civilization intoxicated by the necessity to escape. And indeed, as individuals, we seem to have assumed that the fundamental guarantee from the nation to the citizen is the right to life, liberty and getting away. We do not talk that way; we still talk about happiness and pursuing it. But we think of happiness as a diversion, some something thing new and different, something given, something in a different and unoccupied time. It seems telling evidence, but not surpris surprising, ing, that we chose by an enormous plurality a President with luxurious homes away from home in California, Florida and the hills of Maryland who was always hopping about among them, or outside the country. We all do that, if we can. We are a rich and ingenious people, and if we knew where Paradise is I guess we would be able to get to it and develop it. Character counts most in human action, and it is the experience of mankind that a bad character is not to be trusted. Yet we do almost nothing in this society to cultivate good character or any character. In our upbringing and daily lives we make little difference between selfishness, carelessness and meanness on the one hand and candor, compassion, care and decency. Our lives are increasingly lived in one another’s presence, public if not shared; but we do not teach one another or our children in public that life has no natural direction but is The Open Forum Capital Journal readers are invited to write to the Open Forum. Shorter letters are more likely to be published. The maximum length is 250 words. Each letter must have the address and telephone number of the writer and be signed by the writer. French is best Opposes Ullman 'Idiotic’ I agree with the recent Capital Journal editorial about the Democratic candidates for legislature from District 33, which said of Bob French: “ . .. French is the best informed of the four by far. He has been around a lot and has done his home work. He is bright and quick, a good talker and a good listener most of the time ...” I disagree with their rationalization in failing to endorse Bob French, particularly after their very critical comments about his major opponent. While it is true that Bob has a variety of community concerns, fortunately for all of us he has met his obligations in solving these concerns. Oregon law provides that school board members may also be members of the legislature. If elected, Bob would not actively serve in the legislature until January 1975. His term on the school board ends the last of June 1975. In the past, business and professional people with a variety of other community commitments have served well as members of the school board. Based on how well Bob French has served us in the past, we should not be deprived of his services just because the Capital Journal is “bothered” by the variety of Bob French’s community concerns. A vote for Bob French for legislature from District 33 is a vote for the best in representation. RALPH G. NAPIER 4015 Filbert NE Force runoff One of the most confusing political contests to be decided next Tuesday is the race for superintendent of public instruction. Many voters are understandably reluctant to vote for the incumbent, Jesse Fassold. He has not had time, in his brief appointive term, to prove his abilities as superintendent, and he clearly represents a continuation of the status quo. But the other candidates are equally untested, and it is difficult to find clear differences between seven relative un unknowns knowns who are apparently qualified and committed to education. I personally prefer one of the candidates — Dr. Leroy Owens — but I find it disturbing that the critical issues of education are being buried by expensive billboards and bureau bureaucratic cratic power plays. Therefore, I have a simple suggestion for anyone who is confused, undecided, or simply wants to exercise independent judgment. Cast your vote for one of the lesser-known candi candidates dates (preferably Dr. Owens) in order to assure a real contest in November. If enough voters exercise this option in the primary, Mr. Fassold will receive less than 51% of the votes cast, and he will face the runner-up in the general election. This is the only way to hold the incumbent (and the opposing candidate) fully accounta accountable ble for their educational leadership. Orego Oregonians nians have not witnessed a fully-contested race for superintendent of public instruction since 1934. Isn’t it time, after 40 years, that we had a genuine referendum on the direction and condition of education? JOHN C. RUDE 190 Washington St. S. EDITOR’S NOTE — We don’t recall every election since 1934, but Mr. Rude is wrong in saying there hasn’t been “a fully-contested race for superintendent of public instruction” in 40 years. Walter Blake, a former dean at Willamette University, sought the office as a write-in candidate against Supt. Leon Minear in 1966. In 1968 and 1970, Blake ran vigorous statewide campaigns for the job against Minear’s successor, Dale Parnell. Push for good In the May 18 edition of the Capital Journal, Frank Straton, in his letter to the editor, makes some very significant observa observations tions with regard to candidate Dell Isham, who is running for state representative on the Democratic ticket in House District 38. It should be added that Dell is just as concerned about education of the young and—of even greater importance—he’s the kind of guy who will do his homework diligently and has the courage and integrity to push for the good and resist the not good. I have on my desk a letter dated May 13, 1974, from Edward M. Donelan, executive secretary of the American Dental Political Action Committee, in response to a question about the dentists’ organization contribution of $2,000 to Congressman Ullman’s campaign in 1972. Mr. Donelan tries to justify the contribution (in a year when Ullman had no opposition in either the primary or general election, and didn’t need the money for campaign expens expenses),'by es),'by saying, “Mr. Ullman was ... the second or third ranking Democrat on the Ways & Means Committee. This committee passes on most of the legislation concerned with . . . health care. I am sure you can appreciate how important this is to dentis dentistry.” try.” Are we to conclude, then, that a congress congressman man will not be interested in passing worth worthwhile while legislation for its own merits . . . and that money can be expected to influence the content of that legislation in favor of a special-interest group, such as the dentists? It’s time we put a stop to campaign “contributions” of this sort. The best way I can think of would be to vote Ullman and his kind out of office. PAULA WOLNEZ 6686 Continental Circle SE Keep Burbidge In November of 1970 the voters of Senate District 17 elected a new and to many an unknown senator—Keith Burbidge. This new and unknown relationship did not last for long. Keith immediately plunged eagerly into the tasks he knew would be facing the legislature. Through long hours of hard, tedious work, availability and integrity he rapidly won the respect of almost the entire legislative body. Those legislators who knew Keith urged his appointment to several important committees. Those appointments were well-founded, most of the jobs he set out to do were accomplished. Most important of all—representing the people he was elected to represent. I have personally known Keith for many years before he became involved as a legisla legislator tor and have always found him to be honest and that his word was as good as any bond. Please join me in re-electing a “people’s” legislator to an even more important task in- the years ahead. A senator who believes in representing people, not special interest groups. Vote Keith Burbidge on May 28. EARL R. NOBLE 785 18th SL NE In reference to the story in the May 18 paper, Page 19. A convicted murderer just plain walked out the door of a motel room, where he had been brought by the guard to visit with his girl friend. After a few hours the guard was to return for him. Imagine the taxpayers will pay the hotel bill as well as the cost to get him back to the “Penitentiary Club” to finish his term. What kind of a penal system do we have that would be idiotic enough to let a murderer and kidnaper loose on the public again so he could visit a girl friend? .... I’m for capital punishment! Why should the taxpayers have to support anyone who gave up the right to live when he committed murder and was convicted beyond a shadow of a doubt for the crime? VERA E. GILMAN 655 Welcome Way SE EDITOR’S NOTE — Amos Reed, adminis administrator trator of the State Corrections Division, is investigating the issuance of the social pass to Carl Cletus Bowles. He said State Penitentia Penitentiary ry Warden Hoyt Cupp, who signed the pass, may be subject to disciplinary action. New regulations that went into effect this week required prison officials to consult with Reed or his deputy before signing passes for “heavy offenders.” Gov. Tom McCall said the new rules are intended “to forestall another inci incident dent such as this.’ Wants Bello Recently the Capital Journal and the Oregon Statesman both supported the re- election of Harry Carson Jr. in their editorial columns. I have some second thoughts on Mr. Carson’s re-election. During the hearings to grant PGE a permit to operate the Bethel plant, Mr. Carson said he would not vote on the permit because his son is employed as a meter reader for PGE. As he is chairman of the Authority I feel it was Mr. Carson’s duty and obligation to vote, whether it was for or against the permit. He represented the people that put him in office and his son’s job should not have influenced his decision in any way, what-so-ever. For a truly representative government I urge voters to support Joe C. Bello for County Commissioner, Position No. 1. Since there are no candidates for this position on the Democratic ballot, the voters should write Mr. Bello’s name in for County Commissioner, Position No. 1. J. A. ENGEN 375 Fir Knoll Lane NE formed by the individual, that character is built by patient and deliberate action in time, that the pursuit of happiness involves accom accomplishing plishing what the individual knows to be profoundly necessary to himself and to others. Saint Augustine, who had reflected long on the formation of human character, said that we tend to become what we love. We do, indeed. Personal desires and pursuits shape the society and determine the quality of life: our love for our work, our friends, for such virtues as fairness and truthfulness, for our city, neighbors, family. It is the real desire inside us that makes us what we become, and the real loves of all of us make a society what it is. Some people become wicked; some always do. But they can be restrained, or even removed, even from the top of society or government, and they can be removed with goodwill and decency. But such a remedy is not available for the whole society; there the correction is personal, long and difficult. But I think it is well worth trying. 'Run, Bob, run’ Run, Straub run, see Straub run. What our so-called “leading Democratic gubernatorial candidate is doing seems to me rather like the children’s books. I am a strong Betty Roberts supporter and feel that she is head and shoulders above all the other candidates. Her willingness to speak to the issues and not run from questions shows, along with her record, that she is the most qualified candidate for governor of Oregon. Mr. Straub, on the other hand, seems afraid to discuss the issues and answer questions. I attended a meeting sponsored by the Public Employees for Democratic Action on May 15. All the major gubernatorial candi candidates dates were invited and agreed on the format. Sen. Atiyeh was unable to attend due to a prior commitment in Eastern Oregon.

GLORIA HOFFMAN 4782 Burlwood Loop SE Lindsey cares I want to urge all Salem residents to look closely at our election for mayor. The issue that all of us must look at is who is going to have an opportunity to give our opinions about city decisions—all of us or a few individuals who have only the size of their bank accounts in mind? Bob Lindsey is a man who listens to ail of us and what we want for our city. He tries hard to have city government respond to our concerns. He is a man who cares about our city and the people who live in it. Bob Lindsey is a man who works hard to stretch city dollars as far as possible and he does not jump for simplistic answers at the expense of reasonable programs and services that our citizens desire. Bob Lindsey deserves your vote for mayor on May 28. DENNIS THOMPSON 1278 14th St. NW o PP oses Forbes I have read with interest letters to the editor suggesting Clinton Forbes as a good liaison between state and local government. Once again I’d like to refer your readers to th£ Oregon Statesman (August 11, 1964, issue) where Mr. Forbes’ name appears as one council member instrumental in ignoring Salem citizens’ two trips to the polls to vote down the fluoridation of Salem waters. Regardless of how any of us feel about fluoride, what should have been a “ruling majority” was overruled! This is one case where Mr. Forbes did not represent the people. Personally, I like Mr. Forbes, but I no longer have confidence in him in a government position where he is to represent the people, and that’s what a state representative should be—a representative! MRS. ROBERT S. KUENZLI 570 Rosemont Ave. NW Roberts best More than 30,000 people move into Oregon each year. In addition, 25,000 Oregonians enter the job market for the first time each year. These facts demonstrate the enormity of the population problem which, if ignored, could make our Willamette Valley an urban mess, void of any of the qualities which make it so attractive to those of us who live here. I am supporting Betty Roberts for governor because she has developed sound proposals to deal with the complex problem of population growth and the need for planned economic development with special emphasis on envi environmental ronmental protection. Huge numbers of people will be moving to Oregon in the next decade no matter how many speeches are made saying, “Keep Oregon Oregonian.” Betty Roberts offers a real solution, not a “head in the sand” approach. Betty Roberts has proposed the following to keep our Oregon environment clean and livable while providing jobs for all Orego Oregonians: nians: 1. Planning and developing a transportation system which will stress ease of travel while causing minimum damage of the environ environment. ment. 2. Promoting land use policies which will protect the farm lands, the recreational areas, and the forests which are so vital to Oregon’s economic well being. 3. A program of economic development aimed at recruiting to Oregon those industries which provide a maximum number of jobs while having a minimum impact on the environment. THOMAS J.

The opinion throws a hitch in current planning by Sa Salem lem area governments to enter long-term intergovern intergovernmental mental contracts to develop major waste recovery and recycling facilities. The Chemeketa Region Solid Waste Management Board, a planning agency for Marion, Polk, Yamhill, Benton and Linn counties, wants to set up an intergov intergovernmental ernmental structure and long-term contracts with ci ties and counties to develop recovery and recycling. Salem and othe r- cities have limitations in their charters against contracts longer than five years.

Rep. Norma Paulus, R- Salem, chairman of a House Ta§k^ Force on Solid Waste, asked for~tne attorney gen- eral’s opinion to determine legislation needed to develop comprehensive solid waste programs in the state. To a second question posed by Rep. Paulus, the attorney general said a state law could probably be enact enacted ed to supersede city chart charters ers for contracting with oth other er units of government. In answer to a third ques question tion the attorney said there is no limit on counties con- Jyacting solid waste control agreements where there would be no indebtedness involved. foldoutocrFile24a foldoutFile24a 6-(Sec I) Statesman, Salem, Ore., Fri., Sept. 6, 74 Operation Recycle: Some Do, Some Don’t in State Government By ALLEN J. MORRISON Staff Writer, The Statesman (Story also on page 1.) State agencies are trying, with varying enthusiasm and success, to live up to a 1973 Legislative resolution urging the state to recycle waste paper. Rep. Norma Paulus, R- Salem, who was chief spon sponsor sor of the recycling legisla legislation, tion, conducted a tour of state agencies Thursday morning to learn how her bill is being implemented. Accompanying her were Wil William liam Bree, coordinator for the Department of Environ Environmental mental Quality’s Recycling Information Office; Betsy Maclnnis, with the State’s Energy and Resource Allo Allocation cation Office; John Mat Matthews thews of Clayton-Ward recy recycling cling firm, and newsmen. Mrs. Paulus said some state agency heads and em employes ployes apparently are under the mistaken impression that it is a voluntary recy recycling cling program. “This is very interesting because it is sup supposed posed to be mandatory.” It was also learned during the tour that about half of the 1,000 30-gallon recycling cans originally purchased by Clayton-Ward Co. of Salem have disappeared. Neither that firm nor state agency heads, including General Services Division, knows what happened to the cans, costing about $6 each. Mrs. Paulus noted on her preliminary inspection tour that some agencies are set setting ting a good example in the recycling program while oth- c ers are giving it “token compliance.” Agencies cited as good examples included General Services Division, including the State Printing Office, Department of Veter Veterans’ ans’ Affairs, and state uni universities versities outside the Salem area. The big Highway Divi Division sion is not cooperating in the program, said Clayton-Ward. At State Accident Insur Insurance ance Fund (SAIF) in the Labor & Industries Building, the management apparently regards recycling as volun voluntary, tary, said Mrs. Paulus. Yet, she noted the Executive Or Order, der, signed by Gov. Tom McCall, makes it mandatory and sets down an adminis administrative trative procedure to imple implement ment the program through cooperation with janitorial services and recycling groups. A chief janitor at SAIF said only about half of the recyclable paper is finding its way to processing plants. Part of SAIF’s non-compli non-compliance ance is apparently attribut attributed ed to that agency’s Current relocation to a new building in the Civic Center area. When the agency is moved it will have space enough to implement a double waste basket system that is more effective. Mrs. Paulus explained that several state offices have effectively used the double waste basket system, using one marked canister for recyclable paper and the other for cigarette pack packages, ages, carbon paper, type typewriter writer ribbons and other non-recyclable items. At the State Printing Of Office, fice, the touring delegation learned that state agencies have traditionally over-or over-ordered dered in their materials, be believing lieving they are saving mon money ey by not reordering later. This increases the demand for paper and is really a waste of money and time, printers say. The state is starting to get on the right track, said Mrs. Paulus, by limiting orders, using both sides of paper and by insti instituting tuting recycling. Mrs. Paulus and others hope that private companies and other government agen agencies cies beyond direct legisla legislative tive control will enter the paper and other recycling programs voluntarily, not only because it would save money but would also ex extend tend the life of overbur overburdened dened landfill operations. Clayton-Ward Co. issued a report in July on the recy recycling cling program, showing that the state made $21,000 from selling waste paper. Actual Actually ly the amount was greater because some state agencies have individual contracts to dispose of computer cards and other more valuable pa pers, the firm noted. However, the report con concluded cluded that the legislature or the Executive Depart Department ment should appoint a full fulltime time coordinator to insure that the maximum recycling effort is reached with mini minimum mum cost.

The lawmakers were an angered gered by the move and thought it flew in the face of what the full legislature in intended tended by sharply trimming the tourist promotion budget the past three years. Jackson persuaded the E- Board, a committee of 15 lawmakers which oversees budget matters between leg legislative islative sessions, to transfer the money from the highway maintenance budget in hopes of bolstering sagging tourist spending business. The measures being draft drafted ed by Carson and Paulus for the 1975 legislature would put a two-term limit on the chairman of the Transporta Transportation tion Commission, and make it retroactive to force Jack- son to quit. He has served as head of the panel and its predeces predecessor sor Highway Commission for 15 years. A provision in the bill creating the Transporta Transportation tion Commission which be became came law last year allowed Jackson to continue as chairman until mid-1976. The Emergency Board has come under fire from many legislators who think the body has assumed far too much power that should be the province only of the full legislature. Besides proposing a mea measure sure to abolish the board, Carson and Paulus have sev several eral other proposals to se severely verely restrict its powers should the abolition bill fail to pass. Some other measures they are discussing would forbid the E-Board from acting on a money request until the appropriate legislative inter interim im committee had approved the request, prohibit the House speaker and Senate president from serving on the board and postponing the effect of E-Board actions for 60 or 90 days to allow opportunity for public reac reaction. tion. Carson and Paulus also think several proposed con constitutional stitutional changes should be submitted to the voters in order to allow the full legis legislature lature to function better. Two of them would re require quire annual legislative ses sessions sions and allow the lawmak lawmakers ers to call themselves into special session, a power now given only the governor. The latter proposal has been de defeated feated several times by the voters.

Norma Paulus, R-Salem, asked Johnson for a formal opinion on three questions relating to financ financing ing of the State Public Em Employes ployes Retirement System. THE SYSTEM, which covers 90,000 state, school and local government workers, is fi financed nanced as a trust fund by employe contributions and matching contributions from employing governments. Rep. Paulus’ questions boil down to whether gener general al fund money could be used to protect pension benefits against losses in the retire retirement ment fund caused by declin declining ing value of investments. A portion of the total fund now is invested in common stocks, and substantial loss losses es in the value of the stock prompted criticism of the program. The stock portion of the fund declined 16 per cent in value in 1973 and losses are running even higher this year, wiping out interest earnings in the part of the pension fund invested in other securities. REP. PAULUS asked John Johnson: son: —If general fund money can legally be used to offset losses that the pension fund has sustained or may sus sustain tain because of stock market declines. —If general fund money could be loaned to the trust fund to assure sufficient funds in the pension plan to finance minimum guaran guaranteed teed retirement benefits. —Whether general funds could be used to guarantee a fixed percentage of annual earnings for the pension fund in event that invest investment ment losses threatened to put earnings below the fixed level. Public employes now have the option of putting up to 75 per cent of their pension fund contributions into an account solely invested in stocks. But even employes who do not take this option have some stock investments be because cause 25 per cent of the rest of the pension fund also is invested in stocks. The legis legislature lature next year will take up the issue of whether em employes ployes should have a third choice of having none of their pension money invest invested ed in stocks.Questions Raised by Pension Fund Loss It was another bad year for the state employed’ pension fund, with stock market losses just about cancelling out the record-high interest earnings in the rest of the fund. This leaves state employes with deflated dol dollars lars and deflating hopes, as the economy shows little sign of restoring stock market strength in the short or middle term. Former State Treasurer Rob Robert ert Straub, whose name is asso associated ciated with the introduction of common stocks into the state pension fund portfolio, is politi politically cally fortunate. His opponent for governor, State Sen. Vic Atiyeh, voted in favor of the common stock provision in 1967 and twice later voted to increase the per percentage centage of common stock pur purchases chases to be allowed. The ultimate responsibility for putting state-entrusted funds into the stock market, subject to its vagaries, belongs to the legisla legislature. ture. How far does that responsi responsibility bility extend? It was The Statesman’s posi position tion from the beginning that the state had no right, legally or otherwise, to invest state-en state-entrusted trusted funds in common stocks. To this end, the late Charles A. Sprague, Statesman editor, and Fred Paulus, former assistant state treasurer, sued then-State Treasurer Robert Straub, seek seeking ing to have the courts prohibit such investment. The suit was denied. But the plaintiffs, in their argument, offered the following argument which raises a perti pertinent nent issue: . if the Retirement Fund and the Accident Fund were depleted by unsound investments or were wiped out in a stock market crash, it would be a matter of gravest concern to the state. Whether, under such circum circumstances, stances, the beneficiaries would have a right against the state for payment of their statutory benefits, even if the trust funds were insufficient, need not be determined now. The issue of the legislature’s, and thereby the state’s, responsi responsibility, bility, moves closer when it is realized that many of the public employes whose investments are in the fund, thought that by deciding against joining the “variable account” portion of the fund, they were voting not to have their monies invested in common stock. As it turns out, 25 per cent of even the “fixed account” is, with the legisla legislature’s ture’s permission, invested in common stocks. Each individual’s share in the fund, and therefore his eventual retirement check, is determined upon the earnings rate of the fund. Those who chose the common stock “variable account” route, have had some excellent earn earnings ings years in the past to match against the losses the last two years. Those in the “fixed ac account,” count,” who also shared in the “bull market,” have seen thier money’s earnings vanish in record-high interest rate years due to the stock investment. They may well wonder what the legislature’s responsibility is in this matter, especially with their money “locked into” common stock because the state dare not liquidate its stock portfolio with prices so low. foldoutocrFile27a foldoutFile27a Guarantee Asked for Pension Fund Earning An attempt will be made at' before this proposal gets too far. the next legislature to have the state insure the Public Em Employes’ ployes’ Retirement Fund against further losses due to the skidding value of stocks. It was just such a “bail-out” procedure which The Statesman feared when in 1967 the late Editor Charles A. Sprague joined in an unsuccess unsuccessful ful suit to prevent the invest investment ment of state retirement funds in common stocks. It is illegal to invest state monies in common stocks. Those who wanted to put pension mon money ey in the rising stock market argued that the pension trust fund is separate from state funds and the state has no proprietary interest in it. The courts upheld their legal position. But now that the retirement fund is failing to earn a fair rate of return, in a falling stock market, those who are responsi responsible ble for the fund see things in a different light. We are informed that some members of the Public Em Employes’ ployes’ Retirement System Board and of the Oregon Invest Investment ment Council will recommend that the legislature guarantee an “assumed-interest-rate” as the minimum earnings annually of the fund, in order to assure that retired state employes continue to enjoy a reasonable standard of living. In other words, the legislature will be asked to subsidize the earnings of the fund in the lean years when, through stock mar market ket or other investment decline, the fund fails to earn an agreed- upon rate of interest. As we understand it, this would be a “heads we win, tails you lose” proposition for taxpay taxpayers. ers. Any extra earnings, beyond the “assumed rate” would stay in the fund. If the earnings rate fell short, tax funds would make up the difference. It is hard to see how the proponents of investing these trust funds in common stock can argue on the one hand that such investment is legal because the state has “no proprietary inter interest” est” in the fund and on the other hand that the state has an obligation to reinforce the fund when earnings drop. In fact, outright state support of the fund probably is unconsti unconstitutional. tutional. The legislature can’t appropriate money to something in which it has no proprietary interest. An attorney general’s opinion would seem warranted It is an appealing idea — having the state protect the earning power of the pensions of state employes. This is the prin principle ciple to which Congress has turned in creating automatic es escalation calation of Social Security pay payments ments as the cost of living rises.

The funds were transferred from the highway maintenance fund. This came, the legislators said, shortly after the highway officials had argued before another legislative committee that there weren’t enough funds in that maintenance kitty “to fill up the potholes and maintain the roads.” The three major legislative reform proposals being made by Paulus and Carson would require constitutional amendments and, if approved by the legislature, would have to be submit submitted ted to a vote of the people. The first of these would be to require the legislature to meet in annual sessions. Currently the legis legislators lators come to Salem every two years to do their business. Paulus and Carson say the legislature should meet every year to develop more meaningful budgets and to become watchdogs of state agencies to make sure they do what the legislature intended them to do. Another change proposed would be a law that would give the legislature the power to call itself into session. Presently the governor is the only one with the authority to do that. The state’s voters rejected this proposal in May of this year. The third constitutional change would remove the tourism function from the dedicated gasoline tax fund. A fourth major bill designed to give more power to the full legisla legislature' ture' would be that of abolishing the emergency board. Paulus said that the board could be replaced by a federal grant commission to handle state use of fefleral funds. If the legislature won’t approve the abolition of the emergency board, Paulus and Carson have several alternative bills ready that would vastly limit the powers of the emer emergency gency board. ‘Do Unto Others As You Would’ President Jeny Ford and Sec Henry Kissinger have told the oil producing nations flatly that un unless less oil prices are reduced, a worldwide economic collapse may be in the making.

As it is now, Paulus said, “Legislative fiscal analysts now have more power than the elected officials.”Capital Journal Salem, Ore., Friday, August 9, 1974, Sec. 2, Page 13 Paulus calls for legislative power By LARRY ROBY Capital Journal Writer State Rep. Norma Paulus believes that the best way to keep the federal government out of Oregon’s hair is to strengthen the state legislature. For too long, she says, the legislature has been too weak. At the Thursday luncheon of the Salem Optimist Club, Ms. Paulus once again made her pitch for the people to change the Oregon Constitution to per permit mit annual sessions of the legislature and give the lawmakers the power to call themselves into session. The Republican Salem legislator spieled off a bunch of reasons she thinks these changes are needed. Ms. Paulus called her service in the 1973 legislature an “unbelievable, fran frantic tic and even bungling experience” be because cause of the flood of bills that were considered. She said that if there were annual legislative sessions, possibly limited to three months, the 1973 experience un under der the Democratic House leadership would not have been so “frantic.” - Ms. Paulus also recommended that a limit be placed on the number of bills each legislator can introduce to pre preclude clude “ridiculous and duplicated” bills. This also would have shortened the last session and slowed the pace 'he lawmakers were forced to push them themselves selves through. “We could respond more quickly and more expertly in a calmer manner, if this were the case,” Mrs. Paulus said. She countered the argument that is frequently heard against establishing annual sessions. That argument is that if there are annual legislative sessions, “professional full-time” legislators will serve. Just the contrary will" happen, she said. “The kind of people you get now to serve in the legislature are ‘kept wom women’ en’ like myself and young men without families who don’t have the day-to-day life experiences to serve in the legisla legislature.” ture.” She said businessmen and others from society can’t afford to take the time out to serve in lengthy biennial sessions. Giving the legislature the power to call itself into session at any time instead of waiting for the governor would also improve the standing of the legislative L.<»nch of government, Ms. Paulus said. She cited the gasoline crisis of last winter as an example of why the legislators should be able to return to Salem without waiting for a call from the governor. She said the legislature could have met and decided to give Gov. McCall the power to develop a gasoline ration rationing ing plan. Then the lawmakers could have gone home. If they didn’t like the plan he devel developed oped they then could come back and develop one of their own. “This would give the legislature a better chance to check the executive branch of government,” she said. Ms Pt uius spent considerable time criticizing the leadership of the House in the 1973 session. She said there was not a strong parliamentary system developed during the 1973 session. If th r •eauership had established priorities of legislation to t>e consid considered, ered, her experience in me 1973 session would have been more pleasant she said.By ROBERT E.

The name of President Nixon is just as conspicuously absent from the television show promotions as it is from the pages of the new Oregon Republican newspaper.

Statesman News Service ALBANY, Ore. — A new “sandwich” panel that could make it possible to turn more of the sun’s rays into heat for making steam has been developed by Albany metalurgists of the Interior Department’s Bureau of Mines. The panel consists of a zirconium- compound coating that absorbs a high percentage of the sun’s rays and converts them to heat, with a silver or copper backing that would carry the heat away by conduction for use in making steam for electric power and other purposes. Bureau scientists experimented with special zirconium compounds that can not only convert sunlight to heat, but also trap the heat to prevent its re reradiating radiating away.

The threats, veiled but unmistakable, were uttered by Rep. Norma Paulus, Sa Salem lem Republican, as she argued for more money and attention for girls’ athletics in high schools. She was the leader of a contingent who argued for different aspects of “women’s lib” before the board, meeting at the Capitol. Mrs. Paulus warned of public disap disapproval proval of her own proposals and of school systems that follow them in these words: “Public sentiment may be for the sta status tus quo (on money and attention given to boys’ and girls’ sports). “But the law is on our side. “Unless this board takes vigorous ac action, tion, lawsuits against school systems will pop up all over the state. All kinds of school districts are open to suit on this issue.” She asked the board to set up a “task force” to work with the “women’s cau caucus” cus” in the Legislature and said that if it does so and is successful “the Legislature will not have to mandate” what she wants. She said laws are pretty good now on sex stereotypes, but attitudes are not. Illustrating, she said her daughter was humiliated to learn that Mrs. Paulus could not sew on a button. The girl, less than 12 years old, asked her mother not to let anybody know of the shortcoming, Mrs. Paulus said, expressing belief that her daughter has gotten over this feeling now.

BEGGS Statesman Capitol Reporter Come now the politicians, swarm swarming ing as fireflies to the glare of TV lights and hunting heads and head headlines, lines, probing into “this outlandish af affair” fair” as the Senate president put it in his letter to the head of the Division of Cor Corrections. rections. It was perhaps in inevitable evitable that kicking and flailing would en ensue sue after Carl Cletus Bowles skipped his motel room. The argument has much validity-that letting convicted killers loose on passes of any kind, social or other otherwise, wise, is something you just can’t do very often, if ever. Somebody fouled up bad in this case, and the public has a full right to know exactly why. BUT THE SLAPDASH FORUM in the Capitol last week hardly was the time or place for a rational inspec inspection tion of the incident, while Bowles remains free on his way to Texas or who knows where. The thing, as Rep. Norma Paulus said as she stalked from the room, smacked of political opportunism to its base. IT WELL CAN BE SAID THAT Penitentiary Supt. Hoyt Cupp used bad judgment. And Cupp admits it. But other less satisfactory claims are being made. Senate President Boe called the affair an “inexcusable interpretation” of the state laws allowing leaves for prisoners. Others have claimed that Cupp had no authority to grant such a pass; Boe told Corrections chief Amos Reed that his agency may have been compromised “in an illegal act.” STATE LAW ALLOWS inmates to have leave up to 30 days to visit their 'amilies or ill relatives, attend a •lative’s funeral, contact employers, ’ain medical services “or for any ’r reason consistent with ap proved rehabilitation.” Sociologists can argue all day about rehabilita rehabilitation, tion, and there’s plenty of the “let ’em rot in jail” mentality still afloat in the land. But the facts are that Bowles had been out on one leave before his escape, that he did have some favor favorable able reports, though admittedly few. For whatever reason, Cupp apparent apparently ly didn’t have word of the rumored escape plan. Something went wrong, but Cupp’s no bleeding heart. He doesn’t let killers run loose on pur purpose. pose. Summoned to the cause, the Joint Committee on Judiciary seized the crucible and then proceeded to large largely ly review facts already set out in a police report made public by Gov. Tom McCall a day earlier. What the committee’s role can be in all this is in some doubt to begin with. Whether to change the law is a legitimate point of debate, but in this case it appears corrections guidelines were to blame, not the law. At any rate little can be done about the law until next year, and an inquisition thrown together in the shadow of a statewide election, while tempers and tension continue at a peak, hardly seems a sensible platform from which to launch the debate. PERHAPS MORE POLITICAL acumen was shown by the five committee members who decided to stay away from the scene last week in the hearing room. Or maybe even more was shown by Rep. Paulus, who came to make the necessary point, in an almost Falkneresque vein, that the committee’s whole political mini minifirestorm firestorm really came down to a lot of sound and fury, signifying very little. Rep. Paulus Walks Out Of Hearing on Rep. Norma Paulus, R- Salem, walked out on an interim judiciary committee investigation of the Carl Bowles escape Friday, pro protesting testing that the investigation “smacks of a very political meeting.” The investigation was or ordered dered by Senate President Jason Boe, D-Reedsport, a candidate for the U.S. Sen Senate ate seat held by Republican Bob Packwood. Mrs. Paulus told reporters that she thought Boe was making political hay out of the escape. SHE WALKED OUT of the meeting after committee Chairman Sen. Betty Browne, D-Oakridge, cut off her objections. Mrs. Paulus said an inves investigation tigation by the Legislature may be warranted later, but not while Bowles is still at large and the situation is tense at the State Peniten Penitentiary. tiary. “The best thing we can do is keep our hands out of it until a later time,” she said. “We’re just flirting with di disaster.” saster.” “We can’t change the law until 1975 anyway.” Mrs. Paulus’ walkout left only three of the nine mem members bers of the Judiciary com committee; mittee; Rep. Robert Marx, D-Monmouth, Sen. George Eivers, R-Milwaukie and Sen. Browne. The other five committee members were absent. MUCH OF THE REST of the hearing was taken up by descriptions by correctional officials about how a social pass was issued to Bowles last week, leading to his escape from a motel Friday night. Bowles Testimony largely repeat repeated ed that given to state police investigators, who said au authorities thorities had been tipped last year that Bowles might be planning an escape but that Penitentiary Supt. Hoyt Cupp had not been told of that information. There was some criticism expressed by guards, coun counselors selors and others that Cupp did not seek the recommen recommendations dations of the “Unit Team” supervising Bowles in refer reference ence to granting the inmate a pass. Cupp said he gener generally ally does get the advice of the Unit Team but in a few specific cases where he has input from outside sources and is personally familiar with inmates he sometimes bypasses the team. George Sullivan, superin superintendent tendent of Oregon Correc Correctional tional Institution, also testi testified fied that in specific cases he too bypasses the Unit Team. Cupp said under existing policies it was not mandato mandatory ry to have the Unit Team’s recommendations.Paulus calls Bowles Jlt-tA- J-*"V .( '^W probe political hay By JOHN HAWKINS Capital Journal Writer State Rep. Norma Paulus walked out of a legislative hearing on the escape of penitentia penitentiary ry inmate Charles Bowles this morning. The Salem Republican charged that Senate President Jason Boe is trying to “make political hay” over the incident. Boe is running for the Democratic nomination to the U.S. Senate. “What we’re doing is very dangerous,” Rep. Paulus told other members of the committee. “I’m not suggesting that this isn’t a very serious matter, but the legislature carniot act on this until January, 1975. “I don’t think this is the proper time to conduct this investigation. This smacks of a political meeting.” Rep. Paulus made her remarks over the objection of Sen. Betty Browne, D-Oakridge, chairman of the joint interim committee on the judiciary, which is holding the hearing. The hearing was convened at the request of Boe. Outside the hearing room in the Capitol, Rep. Paulus said the penitentiary is “uptight about this whole affair, and we can’t treat penitentiary matters in this way.” There were indications today that Bowles, a convicted murderer, and his companion, Joan Coberly, may be headed for Texas in a stolen car. Bowles fled last Friday while on a four-hour pass from the penitentiary. He is believed to have driven away from a Salem motel witlf Mrs. Coberly in her white 1962 Ford Thunder- bird.

He returned to the motel room to fir i that the couple was gone. He said he left them in the room alone because he was not specifical specifically ly instructed to stay with them. He said from his location in the parking lot he was not able to see all exits from the motel. Included within the state police investiga investigation tion is a statement made by Lane County Circuit Judge Edwin Allen, who sentenced Bowles to life in prison for the slaying of a rookie deputy sheriff. Allen said, “The defendant in this case should at no time be considered for parole work release, Project Newgate or any other type of program which may be thought up in the future.

Tom’s no turkey, even when thoroughly roasted Gov. McCall gets a kiss and an ovation By ROBERT SHEPARD United Press International The McCall years were recalled Thursday night with irreverent hu humor mor and sincere appreciation by friends and supporters of outgoing Gov. Tom McCall. Nearly 1,300 persons, including the governors of four neighboring states, gathered to share in or watch the roasting and toasting of the colorful, maverick politician who next week ends two terms as governor of Oregon. The roasting was served up by 14 prominent Oregonians sided by the four governors—Dan Evans of Wash ington, Cecil Andrus of Idaho, Mike O’Callaghan of Nevada and Stanley Hathaway of Wyoming. The event was broadcast live on television (by KATU-TV), which prompted master of ceremonies Tom Vaughan, director of the Oregon Historical Society, to advise viewers to “not bother to change dials. As an energy conservation measure, Gover Governor nor McCall has ordered all other television stations off the air.” Evans, referring to McCall’s fre frequent quent and basic philosophical differ differences ences with former California Gov. Ronald Reagan, told the audience that Reagan regretted not being able to attend the McCall party. “He told me many times that if there was one thing he wouldn’t miss it was Tom McCall’s retirement party,” Evans said. Portland Mayor Neil Goldschmidt commented that “Tom McCall has made an impact on Oregon. So did the Columbus Day storm.” Angus Bowmer, director of the Oregon Shakespearean Festival, con conjectured jectured how McCall would have fared as a Shakespearean actor. “Can’t you see Tom McCall as Hamlet?” Bowmer asked. “ ‘To be, or not to be...a U.S. Senator.’ Barry Barrymore more never played that indecision scene better...or as often.” Or as Romeo: “But soft. What light through yonder window breaks? . . . Turn that damn light off! Don’t you know there’s an energy short shortage?” age?” Portland pediatrician Dr. Lendon Smith diagnosed McCall as being “in relatively good health. He doesn’t have ulcers, but he’s a carrier.” L. B. Day, chairman of the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission, recalled two critical moments in the McCall administra administration tion when he said, “Among the most distinctive things Tom ever has done was to keep the Army from moving nerve gas from Okinawa into Oregon. He was able to prevent it because it was odd gas coming in on an even day.” And referring to McCall’s brief interlude with a German-built and gas-thrifty Audi, Day noted that among McCall’s firsts was that “He was the first governor to have a foreign automobile as his official car — and the first governor to dispose of a foreign automobile as his official state car.” Referring to McCall’s disdain for political party allegiance Rep. Nor Norma ma Paulus, R-Salem, commented that “Tom and I have gotten along extremely well, even though 1 am a Republican.” Former State Sen. Anthony Yturri, R-Ontario, said he was “grateful to be able to pay tribute this evening to Tom McCall — a man who is a legend in his own mind.” In his first bid for political office, a 1954 run for Congress, McCall lost to Rep. Edith Green, who is now retiring from the House. McCall recently offered her the job of state superintendent of public instruction. “Until then, I didn't know he was still carrying a grudge,” she cracked. With a nod to McCall’s sponsoring of the Vortex festival in 1970, Univer University sity of Oregon President Robert Clark said UO was prepared to offer McCall a job after he left office, “but it was our understanding he had retired as a rock concert promoter.” Near the end of the televised portion of the evening, the towering governor took the podium to reply to his roasting. McCall said, “No job has been more of a joy than the one I’m about to leave. Oregonians have been good to me, and I’ve tried to be good to you.” He invited the guests to be certain to see a 50-photo exhibit in the dining hall by Capital Journal Photographer Gerry Lewin. He said Lewin was a talent “probably among the best in the world.” He also took the opportunity to set a more serious tone as he reflected on his career. His remarks included his own suggested epitaph: “He tried, oh Lord, he tried. “There was no final victory, but did he not point, the way?” Theie was a bng, long applause.\ \ \ on infant death cause fant dies because ; to breathe. -ynx is the cavity m the mouth and tges to the larynx gus. , in this manner, natural causes, or ones if you pre- as a man might ;ath on a piece of xl in his throat,” )te. dvised parents to xtra five to 10 trping an infant feeding; to avoid dings; not to hur- inate night feed- ;ck the size of the bottle’s nipple so i air is not swal lowed; to try burping the child from a sitting position slightly bent forward, and not to allow the child to feed itself with the bottle propped on a pillow.

Among the 1,300 were four chartered busloads of Salemites, plus many more who drove their own cars. Mrs. Straub rode up on our bus and husband Robert was anxiously pacing the red carpet at the Hilton waiting for her arrival. I bussed up and found it most desirable. We left the driving to you-know-who and drank champagne as we sped through the darkness. Ordinarily, I do not go into what everyone was wearing, but since this was an extraordinarily dressy affair I feel I should make a few fashion comments. Some of the standouts were the “new” slim, svelte, Rep. Grace Peck, who was glamorous in swishy black and floral print evening pajamas; Rep. Norma Paulus in a chartreuse satin shirtwaist, and red-haired Frankie (Mrs. George) Bell in sheer black with a ruffled neckline. An unknown, amply-endowed young lady fascinated onlookers by wearing an emerald green gown with a neckline which appeared, to the naked eye, to be cut to the floor. Many black velvet suits were in evidence—so many, in fact, that I may never wear mine again. I felt as if I were in uniform. Former McCall administrative assistant Bob Davis was noticed table-hopping in the crowd, having flown in from Washington D.C. for the tribute to his former boss. Davis is now with the Federal Energy Office in the Capitol. Some of the Roast and Toast highlights were hilarious. Some were tense. Some were warm. Some were poignant. Such as: • Television master of ceremonies Jerry Pratt at the pre-show, shaking Robert Straub’s hand far too many times, to the future governor’s obvious consternation. • Topsy Albin, top waitress at the Capitol Coffee Shop, having the time of her life greeting all her customers. • An anxious Darrel Buttice, coordinator of the event, sternly holding back five Western governors so they could be televised properly and in the right positions. • L. B. Day, Land Conservation and Development Commission chairman and roaster, laughing hard at his own jokes and the audience laughing equally hard at L. B.’s gruff but infectious laugh. • The pre-show bewilderment of Capital Journal photographer Gerry Lewin at being told he was not to place a card telling viewers who took the 50 pictures of McCall that were hanging in the foyer; then being happily surprised by being one of the few singled out for special tribute by McCall, who called the CJ photog “one of the world’s greatest photographers.” Of course we agree. • Gov. McCall, during the Roast, nonchalantly taking off his spectacles to wash them in his water glass. • And the look of love and adoration Tom McCall gave his wife, Audrey, as she appeared as a “mystery roaster” in one of her infrequent public speeches. And Audrey, drawing many laughs at the times “Tom’s put his big foot in^Etr mouth.” Webster /Stines “to roast” as “to ridicule or criticize severely*”'but when it’s a governor, unique, respected and lovable, the roast becomes a warm and toasty tribute of affection and respect. ‘That’s a Gerry Lewin’ says McCall to wife Audrey and son Sam ies and guests into the ballroom with a melodious blast on his coach horn.

Seated under a giant gold-flecked caricature of himself, the governor, obviously relishing the whole thing, listened to friends needle him with such jabs as his “being the first man ever to receive a mouth transplant” and “a legend in his own mind” and his twangy accent described as “barnyard Ivy League.” A high spot of the program was a segment of the never seen “60 Minutes” television show hosted by Mike WdlldC6 The TV crew, in Oregon last spring, spent $100,000 shooting the McCall spot, which was never released. Roast guests and viewers were treated to “$300 worth of the $100,000 segment” with special comments added personally to McCall by Wallace.

Here’s a sampler: “If L.B. Day is one of Time magazines ‘240-men-to-watch’ in the United States, why is it that he laughs at his own jokes?. . . We thought Norma Paulus’ remarks about Glenn Jackson were in poor taste. . .Why did Gerry Pratt ignore the wives of all the politicians he interviewed?

At the dinner Portland attor attorney ney John Faust Jr. sat at Nevada Gov. Mike O’Callaghan’s table. Faust, who recently had seen “Godfather II,” needled Gov. O’Callaghan about the way the movie pointed up the Mafia’s role in Nevada’s gaming casinos. O’Callaghan disclaimed any Mafia presence in his state and gave Faust a knowledgeable “backgrounder” on Mafia activities elsewhere. At one point Judge Herbert M. Schwab of the Oregon Court of Appeals chided Faust for his remarks, telling him to “be kind to our distinguished guest.” Almost on cue, a string trio wandering about the ballroom stopped by O’Callaghan’s table and played the musical theme from the “Godfather.” ★ ★ ★ ★ MANY PEOPLE are almost surfeited with McCall stories ar\d TV documentaries on the colorful “Daddy Warbucks,” but before the former chief executive is too far removed from the scene, it might be well to record McCall’s visit last May to Huntington, in the Snake River country. Remote Huntington, once a division point for the Union Pacific Railroad, has seen better days and now boasts a population of only 500 persons. The only in industry dustry apart from ranching and farming is the Oregon Portland Cement plant, which employs about 70 work workers. ers. (Huntington’s once-roaring saloon has closed and the town now boasts only a tavern.) Last May McCall made the trip to Huntington to give the Huntington High School commencement ad address dress (17 graduating seniors). The visit caused a num number ber of citizens to recall the incident in 1913 when the late Gov. Os West sent his secretary, Fern Hobbs, and seven strong men to shut down the gambling joints and bordellos of Copperfield, a once-flourishing mining camp 60 miles from Huntington on the Snake. Don Armstrong, principal of the Huntington High School, says it is possible that McCall was the only Oregon governor in history to visit Huntington, but other oldtimers believe they recall West once vifiting there. Whatever the historical facts may be, Hunting- ton remains grateful to McCall.

Poulus Looks of Legislation Norma By ISABEL ROSEBRAUGH Staff Writer, The Statesman “The State of Oregon should clean its own house in the matter of employment of women!” Representative Norma Paulus of Salem is emphatic as she sandwiches her ob observance servance into a discussion of the women’s caucus, organ organized ized in the Oregon Legisla Legislature ture only two years ago but returning this year with its membership of 11 intact — although one (Mary Rob Roberts) erts) has moved from the House to the Senate. One inheritance which is being shouldered by the cau caucus cus and by its members as individuals is this responsi responsibility bility to strengthen the af affirmative firmative action arm of the State Labor Department, says Norma Paulus. The caucus proposes also to nudge any agency which does not seem to be enforc enforcing ing antidiscrimination laws already on the books, and it is seeing some action, Mrs. Paulus said recently as she settled herself briefly in her State House office between committee meetings. “We have been notified the State Board of Educa Education tion is setting up a task force (in response to our November request) to try to rid our schools of discrimi discrimination nation as related to girls’ participation in athletics. This request on our part was made to protect the taxpay taxpayers ers from the cost of law lawsuits. suits. “We shouldn’t have to pass any laws — the law is already on the books.

Paulus suggests. The caucus is bringing in bills on rape, notably to change the current system of inquiring into a victim’s past sex life. “At issue,” says Mrs. Paulus, “is the matter of violence.” “We have a bill to do away with the old alienation of affections suits.

Service in the legislature is so near a fulltime job, says the happy-faced repre representative sentative that an increase in salary is needed, and she would vote for one but “not for this term. I knew what the salary was when I ran and I ran in spite of it! “I haven’t made a nickel from my law practice since I became a legislator. I can keep my family together happily and serve, but I can’t do all three. For any member, it is likely to be a monetary sacrifice. Make it a reasonable salary, do away with the per diem which can be abused and pay actual expenses, I say.” On the elections commit committee tee which is revising elec election tion laws and dealing with the internal reorganization of the legislature itself, Mrs. Paulus’ work is not limited to that of the women’s cau caucus, cus, and she hastens to point out that all the other 10 women have interests out outside side those they think espe especially cially pertinent to women. “Glad to be on revenue, I find it mind-stretching to be considering revision of tim timber ber tax laws, home-owners’ property tax relief act and property exemptions,” she thinks women have contrib contributed uted in wide areas even while noticing needs which might not have been appar apparent ent to men.Rep.

Wilson’s comments came in the wake of two summary reports by the state auditor criticizing more than 50 state agencies for their accounting and cash control procedures. One of the two agencies hit hardest in a December 1974 report was the Department of Revenue, which received a “disclaimed opinion,” mean meaning ing its books could not be accurately audited. The opinion said, in part, “Accounting and internal controls over cash receipts or undelivered refund checks were inadequate and ineffec ineffective. tive.

Lee Johnson, the December 1974 report said the department’s operat operating ing account was overstated by about $158,000 and that at least two other accounts were either overstated or under understated. stated. Police fail test Even the Oregon State Police failed to pass its audit with flying colors. The valid validity ity of recorded expenditures from federal funds, the report said, was questionable because of inaccurate and incomplete accounting. In comments on the Police Standards and Training Board, the auditor noted, ions in the December 1974 report. The Court of Appeals was cited in the February report. The auditor said the bar’s general ledger was out of bal balance ance and that it was violating state law by permitting its secretary to approve expendi expenditures tures and disburse funds. The main criticisms of both the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals were that, “The cost of certain materials or services shared by the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals were apparently allocated between the courts based on the availability of funds rather than usage.” The implication was that the courts spent taxpayer funds needlessly. The state Legislature did not escape the auditor’s barbs. It received a qualified opinion, mostly for questiona questionable ble or unauthorized spending policies.

Many state agencies have the same problem. In fact, two recent summary reports issued by the Oregon state auditor reveal that about two-thirds of the state agencies audited between 1969 and the present handle their money so poorly they failed to receive a clean bill of health after their books were examined. The agencies — more than 50 of them — range from the tiny Potato Commission to the huge Executive Department of the governor’s office. Many of the auditor’s complaints involved failure to maintain adequate accounting controls and inadequate procedures for processing cash receipts. But in at least two instances, the auditor issued “disclaimed opinions” on state agencies — the Executive Depart Department ment and the Department of Revenue. Books in bad shape In accounting language, a disclaimed opinion simply means an agency’s books were in such pitiful shape that the auditor was unable to reach any opinion about the financial condition of the agency. In the case of the Executive Depart Department, ment, the December 1974 auditor’s report said hurried creation of the agen agency cy in July 1969 resulted in “numerous errors, omissions and deficiencies in administrative and accounting control. The report faulted the department’s general ledger and financial reports generated by its accounting system. In the case of the department’s state wards program, the report noted that collection procedures did not conform with legal requirements. “The accounts receivable control account was not in agreement with detail records by approximately $11,133,000,” the report said. In the area of federal funds, the report said, “Accounting and internal control over federal programs and grants were inadequate to insure com compliance pliance with applicable federal rules and regulations.” Problems continue In another accounting area, the report said the department established a $100,000 “appropriation” account not authorized by the Legislature for use as a payroll clearing account. A subsequent preliminary report on a more recent audit of the Executive Department showed the problems were continuing. Ken Fobes, press secretary to Gov. Bob Straub, told The Oregonian the governor’s office was aware of the December 1974 audit summary, but not of the February 1975 report which was released this week. Fobes said steps were being taken to clear up the deficiencies in Executive Department bookkeeping operations, but that it would take some time. Additional Details on Page A21.. n ... „ . S.

That session will need every cent it can scrape up just to keep existing programs at present levels. The $7 million-plus the Capitol wings would cost simply can’t be justified when such an expenditure would further erode social programs that already are far from adequate. And borrowing the money from state trust funds wouldn’t make the plan more palatable. Trust funds have to be repaid with interest. We’d object to the wings, however, even if the state’s treasury was stuffed with cash, home mortgage loans could be obtained for 6 per cent, the state hospital was overstaffed, and the unemployment rate was less than 2 per cent.

Hope Is Expressed *- 17 - For Bill’s Passage To the Editor: I have just heard about HB 2476, brought to my attention by Rep. Norma Paulus and sponsored by 74 state legislators. This bill allows for purposes of property taxation, the assessment of 50 per cent of true cash value of houses classified as historic homes. The bill also estab establishes lishes an office of State Historic Preservation Officer. Basically, I see this as a fine way of preserving some of the properties, few of which are left in the state. We spend millions each year traveling about the United States to see sights of special or general significance, when at the same time many com communities munities in Oregon and elsewhere destroy or neglect that which we might save at home for respect and remembrance. I once wrote to the Recorder of Clatsop County for information re regarding garding the 10 historic houses in Astoria. As tour guide for a chapter of the AARP, I had headed a tour of several memorable hours visiting these beautifully kept places, once the homes of leading persons in the fur and fishing industries of the area. They were certainly worth preserv preserving ing and the trip was greatly appre appreciated ciated by our members. Does Salem have 10 significant examples of historic or architectural importance? Some of our historical society people are conducting a sur survey vey to find out. We hope the bill passes. R. Vance MacDowell, 1864 Fir St. SRep. Paulus Scheduled To Speak State Rep.

Walsh, a Coos Bay attorney, died in that city Wednesday. The name may not be familiar to some of the newer generation of Oregonians. But Bill Walsh in his day represented the best in the Oregon tradition of citizen govern government. ment. Walsh was a lawyer, and a good one, and a successful one. He decided, sometime early in his career, that he owed some of his time to his state, as well as to his business and his family. He set out to give some of his time to the state. He became a member of the legislature, and rose to become President of the Oregon Senate. The Senate President in those days was first in line of succession to the governor, and served as acting governor when the elected governor was out of the state. Walsh so served on a number of occasions. He got interested in politics, Republican politics. He headed Nelson Rockefeller’s successful run in the 1964 Oregon primary. He served his profession, as one of the leaders of the Oregon State Bar. He was a member of the board of trustees of Willamette University. He was a long time member and president of the Oregon State Board of HigherEducation.His public duties in his hometown area were too many to recount here. Walsh was typical of his time. Small-town lawyers from all over the state moved into positions of Oregon leadership because they felt they owed something to the state. Tony Yturri from Ontario, A1 Grant and Austin Dunn from Baker, Harry Boivin from Klamath Falls, Gene Brown from Grants Pass, Alva Goodrich and Harvey De Armond from Bend, Gene Marsh from Mc McMinnville, Minnville, Walter Norblad and Wendell Wyatt from Astoria, Bob Duncan and John Dellenback from Medford, Bob Stults from Roseburg, and hosts of others took the same route. There are some young lawyers on the way up the ladder now. Dave Frohnmayer from Eugene, Hardy Myers from Portland and Wallace Carson and Norma Paulus from Salem are four who come quickly to mind. But the era of the original big guns is ending. It came a little closer to its close with Bill Walsh’s death.

The Court’s decision rep represented resented a long overdue cor correction rection of an archaic as assumption sumption that “male workers’ earnings are vital to the support of their fami families, lies, while the earnings of female wage earners do not significantly contribute to their families’ support.” The “logical” extension of that now absurd assumption was i,that the surviving spouses of ivomen workers who had paid their Social Security taxes were not entitled to the same protection as the surviving spouses of men workers who had paid their taxes. With the rejection of that insulting premise — allowing widowers with young chil children dren to get the protection that widows with minor chil children dren have been getting — other Social Security provi provisions sions based on the same obsolete assumptions may at last also be on the way to oblivion. (1) Thousands of elderly men could qualify for aged husbands and widowers ben benefits, efits, for instance, if the present law did not require that a man submit proof that he was receiving at least one-half his support from his working wife at the time of her retirement or death. There is no such requirement for a wife or widow to get benefits based on the earnings of a male. (2) In the case of divorce today, an elderly woman can collect benefits as a divorced wife when her former husband retires, or as a divorced widow, if he dies — providing the mar marriage riage had lasted 20 years or more. There are no benefits for a divorced husband or widower, no matter how long the marriage lasted and even if the divorced partner was in fact furnishing her former husband’s support. Don’t think it doesn’t hap happen! pen! (3) The way the Social Security works now, it is possible for a working cou couple ple — in the lower income brackets especially — to end up with less in total retire retirement ment benefits than another couple with the same total earnings where only the hus husband band worked. This situation does not occur- when the combined earnings of the couple are substantially above the maximum amount of earnings that any one worker can have counted toward Social Security bene benefits. fits. The maximum is al already ready up to $14,100 this year and it will be climbing rap rapidly idly and steadily. The dis discrimination crimination against working couples always has infuriat infuriated ed me and the fact that it hits hardest at lower-income couples surely will spur you to ju ; n me in fighting for this change in the law. There is a simple, practi practical cal way to correct this prob problem lem — and that is by basing Social Security benefits for a working couple on their combined earnings. .x' u e change was proposed by former Rep.

Of this number about 72,000 are affected by the $3,000 feder federal al tax deduction limitation. Legislative Revenue Officer Richard Munn said single taxpayers come under the limit at the $18,000 level, taxpayers filing jointly at the $22,000 level with individual circumstances determining when he or she (or they) are impacted.

The more ambitious of the two new ventures into publishing is People, described by its founders as “fami “family ly entertainment.” Unlike “One Dollar” magazine, Ore Oregon gon People is free from scatological references and “adult” subject matter. Ergo, it is “family.” . But is it entertainment? Judging from the first issue, the magazine’s entertainment values are as slight as its format (40 pages for six bits). The layout is stand standard ard house organ, the articles break little new ground, the black and white photographs tend to be muddy and the whole about as exciting as a weekend in Madras. The magazine’s best offering is the cover piece on State Rep. Norma Paulus, a tribute by George Bell, a former drama critic and perhaps the only true profes- sional among the issue’s contributors. Bell managed to get behind the beauty plus brains facade of one of Ore Oregon’s gon’s more engaging legislators and I learned that Mrs. Paulus, scrabbling from a penurious childhood to envied affluence and position, has a lot of tenacity as well as a pretty face. But the profile somehow left a number of questions about Norma’s rags to riches march unanswered. Just how did a girl without benefit of any college education manage to talk her way into Willamette Law School? Why did a dirt poor “Cinderel “Cinderella” la” decide to embrace the politics of the privileged clas- s? Do her intellectual attainments extend beyond short shorthand, hand, typing and the law? (Can she speak French? Cook exotic dishes? Work anacrostics? What books does she read?) And I shall always wonder how her “German father, Paul Petersen, came by a decidedly Swedish name. James Seeley White’s article on Hedden’s Store in Scottsburg is readable enough but Jon Tuttle covered the subject not long ago on his peregrinations for Chan Channel nel 8. Ed Richter’s fun-poking at Oregon’s parochialism was sophomoric. (Sure, Oregon people say “ruf” for “roof,” but so do more most Americans.) The glories of the old Vaughan Street baseball park have been examined before and so has the question as to just how the name “Oregon” originated. Shouldn’t new maga magazines zines make some effort to give us newly-minted sub subjects? jects? On the credit side, The Oregon People holds a modi modicum cum of promise. It’s clean, neat, newly-hatched and apparently trying. Like a lot of other sickly pups, it could benefit hugely from more raw meat, an injection of vitamins and a little more care. ★ ★ ★ ★ THE SECOND ENTRY in Oregon’s publishing sweepstakes is a less pretentious monthly which describes itself as “the most unique (ouch!) and com complete plete entertainment magazine to be introduced into the metropolitan area.” Places is a periodical paced about mid-way between one of those free hotel greeter magazines which give you a lot of advertfsing witi a minimum of boiler-plate and a serious mag. The initial issue is free and the price, I suppose, is about right. In all fairness, the Places staff, a group of younger people, had some bad luck with their fist issue. The lead article was on Don Wright, the KGW disc jockey who defected earlier this month to KISN radio. Unfor Unfortunately, tunately, the article about Wright was obviously in type before the defection and a great part of the article which has to do with KGW was out of date before it went to press. An article about Academy Award win winning ning animators Will Vinton and Bob Gardiner was also dated by the exigencies of the printing business. There is present tense conjecture about the Portlanders win winning ning the Oscar which, of course, they did. There’s a puff piece on Sweet Tibbie Dunbar’s, the new Lloyd Center restaurant and another puff on the Wood Stove Restaurant. And there are a lot of notes about concerts, films, plays, night clubs and other res restaurants. taurants. The big question about Places is whether we need another entertainment guide, no matter how much information it gives other than its straight advertising. The masthead of this monthly lists no less than 11 pub publishers, lishers, editors, writers, etc. and reality indicates that such a venture cannot support that many bodies, no matter how successful it might be. Mayhap, if Place doesn’t make it in the touchiest place of all — the mar marketplace ketplace — this enterprising gang will turn their tal talents ents to a less crowded field. I’ve seen a lot of new magazines come and go in the past 20 years. Launching one is even riskier than open opening ing a new dining spot and the mortality rate is high. The race, it seems is to the swift and I’m afraid neither The Oregon People nor Places has exhibited the daring or the imagination required for survival in that demanding tournament. foldoutocrFile48b foldoutFile48b State's restless natives have fire in eyes over bill to continue $3,000 tax deduction limit By HARRY BODINE of The Oregonian staff TWELVE YEARS ago the publisher of a small weekly newspaper clobbered Oregon state government’s financing by successfully referring an income tax increase to a vote of the people. Few had heard of J. Francyl Howard outside of the Albany-Corvallis area prior to the 1963 episode. Most Ore Oregon gon taxpayers probably have for forgotten gotten they voted with Howard against the tax hike by a 3-1 margin, but few Oregon legislators and gov government ernment officials have forgotten the major budget slash slashing ing and the Demo Democrats’ crats’ loss of the Legislature that followed. As the 1975 Oregon Legislature approaches its 100th day in session (Tuesday), it is confronted with fiscal BODINE problems equaling and perhaps surpas surpassing sing the 1963 session. First, state employes soon will be tal tallying lying a vote on whether to strike for wages and fringe benefits higher than the 23 per cent increase recommended by Gov. Bob Straub. Second, the budgetary balancing device, a $96 million revenue bill con continuing tinuing a temporary $3,000 limitation ceiling on the federal income tax deduc deduction tion Oregonians can take on their state income tax returns, appears in trouble both in the Legislature and with the public at large. Enacted in 1973, few taxpayers came face to face with the $3,000 limitation until they prepared their 1974 income tax returns, a task most of them per performed formed after they voted in last fall’s elections. As a precaution, the Legislature spec specified ified that the 1973 law, should it be referred, would go on the 1974 primary ballot and appropriated the $20 million the tax change provided for additional basic school support for local districts, thus minimizing its impact on the state general fund. The referral never came and in 1975 a bill was introduced to continue the $3,000 limitation which would boost state revenues $96 million in the 1975-77 budget period. The $3,000 limitation bill (HB 2008) has been praised because, its propo proponents nents say, it makes the Oregon state income tax “progressive” on upper incomes. It also fits a criterion popular in Salem these days. It taxes a small group rather than a broad spectrum of taxpayers. The House is scheduled to vote Mon Monday, day, for example, on HB 2552 which* provides for a $5,000 homestead exemption on single family residences. The bill is “unfunded” which means other property taxpayers will pay the differences in financing local govern government ment tax levies, a $60 million shift that will hit business, farm, timber and upper income residence owners. Department of Revenue figures sta statistics tistics show approximately 900,000 per personal sonal income tax forms are filed in Oregon each year. Of this number about 72,000 are affected by the $3,000 feder federal al tax deduction limitation. which could not be left unplugged. Unlike Congress, the Oregon Legisla Legislature ture cannot run its affairs on a credit card basis. The State Constitution pro prohibits hibits deficit financing.

Norma Paulus, R-Salem, appearing in support of HB 2507. Rep. Curtis Wolfer, D-Sil- verton, explained the three options employes would have under the proposal. Under the measure, three accounts would be created: one which could not be in invested vested in stocks; another which could not have more than 35 per cent invested in stocks and a third which could have all invested in stocks. The 90,000 employes in the Public Employes Retirement System would have the Op Option tion of which account to place their mandatory pen pension sion contributiions. The bill was introduced by Wolfer as the result of losses suffered by the Public Em Employes ployes Retirement system in the stock market during the past two years. Under existing law, up to 35 per cent of the pension funds may be invested in common stocks, although only 25 per cent of the $700 million fund is now invested in stocks. Employes have no choice about where the money goes except up to 75 per cent of their contributions may go entirely to an account which is wholly invested in com common mon stocks. Because of the declining market in 1973 and 1974, public employes have re received ceived zero earnings on their pension investment be because cause the stock losses have offset earnings on the fixed- yield investment of the other 75 per cent of the fund. Opposition to the measure came from State °treasurer Jim Redden, the state’s chief investment officer, and Jim McGoffin, director of from the employers’ reserve fund. In up years, the amount earned over 5y 2 per cent would go back to the employers’ reserve account. McGoffin said the invest investment ment program was project projected ed to earn an average 5 l / 2 per cent over 30 years, but the earnings figure would be changed. McGoffin said the zero earnings statements for 1974, which are normally mailed to employes before April have been held up in hopes the legislature would ap approve prove the 5*4 per cent retro retroactive active to 1974. The committee took no action on the bill. PERS. They told the committee that public employes should not be put in the position of being an expert on the stock market every year by being forced to make a choice on options for investments. The investments should be made by the experts, they said.

K World Hunger vs. Health ‘Choice’ in Field Burning By GINNY BURDICK Associated Press Writer The Oregon Senate agri agriculture culture committee was given the dismal choice of favor favoring ing either hazardous health conditions or world hunger Monday during a hearing on a bill that would repeal a ban on open field burning. But former Republican Sen. Hector MacPherson of Albany took a middle ground, saying he would fa favor vor the bill if it were amended to take public health into account. Opponents of Senate Bill 311, who favor maintaining the ban that went into effect Jan. 1, argued that open field burning by grass seed growers is hazardous and possibly fatal to citizens of the Willamette Valley. “In the name of those who cannot speak for themselves but who deserve the right to live and to breathe, I urge you to table this bill,” said Rep. David Frohnmayer, R- Eugene, whose district is in the area most heavily affect affected ed by field burning smoke. One season without burn burning ing would have no signifi significant cant effect on the grass seed industry, Frohnmayer said. Economic hardships on the grass seed industry “will come, whether they come now, two years from now, or 10 years from now,” he said. Alan Hick, representing the grass Seed industry, said Oregon holds an important key to the world hunger problem through its grass seed, which provides a cheaper feed for cattle than grain. MacPherson said he would support the bill if four amendments were added: —The elimination of all so-called priority burning that is done near cities, freeways and airports within the next two years. Field burning machines would be used to bum these sensitive areas. -A reduction of burning from eight days to four days by 1978. — Improvement of the smoke management pro program gram that limits burning to days when weather condi conditions tions are most favorable. -Charging the field burn burning ing committee to reduce open burning at the same rate that markets are devel developed oped for the economical use of excess straw from fields. MacPherson said he fears the field burning machine may prove to be too heavy a polluter itself. He warned that immediate enforcement of a ban on open burning may lead the industry to switch to the field burning machine before it has proved to be the best _ alternative. The agricul agriculture ture committee will hold more hearings before acting on the bill. Congressmen ^ Aren’t Known Word is out about another of those polls that shows that many citizens can’t identify their top elected political leaders. A Portland paper has reported that a poll taken for the State Republican Central Committee showed that less than half — 44 per cent — of persons inter interviewed viewed in the Second Congres Congressional sional District could identify Rep. A1 Ullman as their Con Congressman. gressman. This must be disap disappointing pointing to Ullman, a veteran with almost 20 years’ service and now one of the two or three most powerful members of Con Congress gress as chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee. Freshman Rep. Les AuCoin in the First District drew only a 25 per cent identification. Of more interest to Salem readers perhaps is a finding in the poll, which was aimed to toward ward exploring voters attitudes about women in politics, that State Rep. Norma Paulus of Salem is as well known as State Treasurer Jim Redden. But that may be little comfort to Rep. Paulus. A poll earlier this year showed that only 11 per cent of the people could identify • Redden. This prompted his usual witty rejoinder tha't he may mount a campaign for office next time with <a “Who for Treasurer” slogan. , 4Gary Adams, right, land clas- maps were used to help with a land sification officer of the Deschutes ownership study now underway in the National Forest, showed members of Sisters-Camp Sherman area.

(Bulletin photo by Bob Baum) By Bob Baum Bulletin Staff Writer CAMP SHERMAN — A concern over the potential for “rural sprawl” in the Sisters-Camp Sherman area, along with a need for criteria to follow in any land exchanges between the Deschutes National Forest and private landowners has spurred a study by the U.S. Forest Service. The study is being conducted by Gary Adams, land classification officer for the Deschutes forest. His job is to establish goals for patterns of private and national forest land ownership in a study area that stretches from about nine miles south of Sisters to the Metolius River near Camp Sherman. Adams said he also is in the midst of land ownership studies on the upper Deschutes River and in the Crescent area. Last night Adams and Ron Ketch Ketchum, um, ranger for the Sisters Ranger District of the Deschutes forest, outlined some alternatives for altering the ownership pattern for members of the Camp Sherman Land Use Citizen’s Advisory Committee. Adams told the committee members during a two and one-half hour presentation that the goal of the study is to establish a framework for possible land exchanges in the area. “Before, we were just guessing,” Adams said. “In one case, we acquired land on one exchange that we traded off maybe 20 years previous.” The Forest Service study looks at six issues which may necessitate some alteration in land ownership within the study area, Adams said. The major issue, he said, is the potential for “rural sprawl” in the Sisters-Camp Sherman area. “If you don’t believe it, just look at LaPine,” Adams said. He said two factors make the area susceptible to such sprawl: the “checkerboard ownership” pattern and the fact that roughly two-thirds of the study area is suitable for housing. Adams’ study began with an analysis of the suitability of small portions of the area for various ac activities. tivities. Those activities involve housing, wildlife, water, timber, developed recreation, housing and intensive agriculture. The suitability analysis was based mostly on the physical aspects of the land. Economic factors were not directly included in the suitability analysis, Adams said. Figured into the process were the six issues Adams identified. They are the potential for rural sprawl, the re tention of wildlands already in national forest ownership, scenic corridors, urban needs, water and wetlands, and deer winter range. Adams also developed six alternatives for altering the pattern of ownership within the small portions of the planning area which are suitable for the various activities he identified The purpose of those alternatives is only “to provoke the thought process of the public and to provide an orientation for the plan,” Adams said. He said the final goal for the planning area will probably include a combination of existing and new alternatives. The alternatives named by Adams last night included (1) acquisition of all private undeveloped land in the planning area by the Forest Service; (2) acquisition of some private land by the Forest Service in order to concentrate in intensive tensive private development around areas already developed; (3) a minor alteration in private and federal ownership, but basically no change in the ownership pattern; (4) no change; (5) acquisition of all national forest land suitable for housing by private landowners and (6) acquisition of all national forest land by private land- owners. About 44 per cent of the land within the narrow planning area is under private ownership. The largest private landowner is, by far, Brooks- Scanlon, Inc. It owns about 30 per cent of the private land involved, Adams estimated. Almost all transactions made would be exchanges for private land at higher elevations, Adams said. The Forest Service has very little money available to purchase private land, he said It is almost impossible for the Forest Service to sell land, he added. Ketchum said he, Deschutes forest Supervisor Earl Nichols, and assistant supervisor for planning Bill Schenk would approve the goals for alteration of the ownership pattern. The regional forester would then have to approve the goals. If enough controversy exists over the proposed goals, an environmental impact statement will be developed, Ketchum said. If no statement is required, the Forest Service hopes to have the goals on the books by June, he said.Our Environment Bottle Industry Still Battling By JEFF STANSBURY And EDWARD FLATTAU Gannett New* Service Despite the increasing evidence that returnable bottles are a superior alternative to throwaway beverage containers in this age of resource shortages, industry for the most part continues to argue otherwise. Typical is a recent letter to The Washington Post from Henry B. King, president of the U.S. Brewers Association. King marshals all the last-ditch arguments being used to discredit a ban on throwaway con containers. tainers. The desperation of these argu arguments ments is reflected in their failure to coincide with the facts. KING DISPUTES THE CLAIM that two- way containers will save far more energy than throwaways. He says that returnables are heavier and larger than their one-way counter counterparts, parts, thereby necessitating more trucks and more gasoline consump consumption tion on delivery routes. He also says the washing of retum- ables requires additional energy use that further nullifies any “hypotheti “hypothetical” cal” energy savings. The Brewers Association executive is apparently unaware of recent En Environmental vironmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies that factor container weight and the washing process into the equations and still conclude that throwaways averqge 4,198 more Brit ish Thermal units (BTUs) of energy use per unit than a 10-trip returnable glass container. A total switch to glass returnables would save an estimated 225 trillion BTUs, the equivalent of enough gaso gasoline line to supply nearly 2.5 million cars for a year. Furthermore, the poten potential tial energy saving from the steel, aluminum and glass that would not have to be recycled would come to about 90 trillion BTUs annually. King’s argument that recycling which consumes more energy and resources is preferable to a system of reuse suffers accordingly. IF THIS WERE NOT PERSUASIVE enough, the New York state Senate’s Task Force on Critical Problems last month released a study that showed a mandatory deposit bill in effect for three years would produce annual energy savings of 20 trillion BTUs. The study was based on 90 oer cent of the containers in circuiltion in New York being returnable-reusa- bles. King utilizes another popular indus industry try shibboleth by warning that an all- returnable system will mean higher prices for the consumer. In fact, the average selling price of beverages in Oregon is no higher now than it was three years ago when the state enacted the nation’s first one-way container ban. The New York state study, using industry data, projected that there would actually be a slight decrease in prices to the public. And a few brewers have even admitted this trend would occur. King raises the specter of in increased creased unemployment, but again statistics confound his pessimism. In the New York study, for example, tabulations show that, while 1,200 jobs would be eliminated, approxi approximately mately 5,200 new jobs would be created. This would represent an annual payroll increase in New York state of $35 million. In Oregon, sales have not declined since the throwaway ban, and more than 90 per cent of those polled in the state have expressed their approval of the law. King says that the cleanup of benefits of a one-way container ban are exaggerated. YET AGAIN IN OREGON, which is the only sizable long-term laboratory the nation has, the law has fulfilled litter reduction expectations. Bever Beverage age container litter is down 60 to 70 per cent in the state since the inception of the ban. EPA and the Federal Energy Ad Administration ministration are on record in favor of proposed federal legislation to pro prohibit hibit throwaway beverage containers and cans. Industry is leaning hard on the White House and Congress, how however, ever, and it is dubious whether a nationwide law to strip King’s con contentions tentions bare will pass this year. (Upi. .1 ~ >Q> - 7S' Wine, liquor bottles target of a new bill Oregon’s bottle bill would be ex expanded panded to include wine, liquor and food containers if bills introduced Friday by Sen. Ted Hallock, D- Portland, are passed by the 1975 Legislature. One of the bills, SB 99, would require deposits of 10-30 cents on wine and liquor bottles, depending on the size. The deposit on cans, bottles or jars containing food would range from 5- 15 cents under SB 103. In the food category, the deposit would be five cents for containers less than a quart in size, 10 cents for containers between a quart and a gallon, and 15 cents for containers a gallon or more in size. In 1971, Oregon became the first state in the nation to require deposits on soft drink and malt beverage containers. The deposit is 5 cents on beer and soft drink cans and bottles, except for containers that can be used by more than one producer, which carry a 2-cent deposit.4—(Sec.

Vote Financing * Bill Introduced Oregon general election campaigns would be publicly financed under a bill intro introduced duced Thursday by the House Elections Committee. The committee also agreed to introduce bills that would allow Sunday elections and would allow voters to register on election day. The legislation for public financing of campaigns was requested by Democratic State Treasurer Jim Red Redden. den. “Obviously, if every registered voter gave a dol lar to each candidate he or she planned to vote for, we wouldn’t have a problem,” Redden said. “But it isn’t a perfect world, and many state legislators are grap grappling pling with the problem of public financing.” Redden’s proposal would provide funding on a match matching ing basis for statewide, con congressional gressional and legislative candidates. The limit of state funding would' be $50,- 000 for statewide candidates and half the spending limita limitation tion of congressional and legislative candidates. The estimated cost to the state would be $1.2 million per biennium, Redden said. The money would be raised by depositing into a revolv revolving ing fund 60 cents for each income tax return filed. Because of the cost, Red Redden den recommended that any legislation on public financ financing ing of campaigns be re referred ferred to voters for approv approval. al. The elections committee introduced a bill that would allow voters to register at the polls on election day. The legislation was request requested ed by Common Cause, a citizens lobby group that is concentrating much of its effort on changes in election laws. Oregon voters under present law must register at least 30 days before an elec election tion in order to vote. Legislation to allow Sun Sunday day elections was introduced by the committee at the request of Rep. Nancie Fa- deley, D-Eugene. The intent of Sunday elec election tion days would be to en encourage courage more people to vote, Rep. Fadeley said. foldoutocrFile54a foldoutFile54a 4-(Sec.

A Ways and Means subcommittee has recom recommended mended spending $3 million in building improvements at the Oregon State Fairgrounds, based in part upon pledges of local financial support. This is an excellent example of local-state cooperation in a mutually advantageous project. Of course Oregon needs a State Fair, and it should remain at the fairgrounds where a large investment already has been made. It hasn’t made sense to berate the fair for being old, shabby and unattractive and then use that as an excuse for not providing the funds to im improve prove it. The best testimony of the public’s support of the State Fair is its continued and growing attendance over the years, de despite spite the condition of the facili facilities. ties. The proposed multi-purpose building and upgrading of other facilities will not only provide a new attractiveness for the State Fair itself, but will contribute to its growing use as a year-around activities center.

Move whom to the fair? 75"^ Rep. Norma Paulus of Salem thinks state agencies spend too much money holding meetings at resorts. Instead of meeting at Salishan or Sunriver or some other high-class resort, the agencies should use state-owned facili facilities ties at the fairgrounds. A dandy idea. But why limit it to state agencies? The fairgrounds would be an ideal spot for meetings of the legislature. There’s a grandstand, for example. Legislators now must do their grandstand grandstanding ing in the House and Senate chambers, disrupting the proceedings and holding up the important work of government. And there are horse barns at the fairgrounds, of which use could be made from time to time. That costly electronic voting machinery the House just bought could be sold to some other state. There’s already a tote board at the fair race track that would do nicely. No longer would it be necessary to spend thousands of dollars each biennium to remodel and re-remodel the State- house. It could be used by full-time, year- around state employes who now are housed all over town. And parking wouldn’t be a problem. There’s plenty of parking space at the fairgrounds. That would leave the limited parking available at the Statehouse to the public. It is more likely, however, that the legislature will order state agencies to use the fairgrounds and the legislators will decide to move to Salishan. (Bebout) Let it die Oregdh’s State Fair Board, the governor, Salem business interests and the legislature all are wrestling with the same problem. How can the annual State Fair be kept alive and vigorous in Salem? Someone, though, ought to look at the basic question. Is it worthwhile keeping the state fair alive^ Facilities at the fair have been allowed — by the legislature — to fall into disrepair. Not enough money has been supplied to replace worn-out buildings. The necessary funds have not been available to improve drainage and sewage facilities. Now the state is being asked to provide $4 million for new construction at the Salem fairgrounds. Some revenue will be received from the new buildings; it will not be enough to repay construction costs. But, why bother? Why not let the state realize its investment at Salem by selling the property? Why not transfer the fair to Portland, and rent the Multnomah county fairgrounds for 10 days or so a year as a site for the state fair? Then, at least, there might be a chance the fair’s costs, including construction funds, would be met by its income. %>ro(City Alarmed Over Trdic By RON BLANKENBAKER Staff Writer, The Statesman State Executive Department plans to move more than 700 state employes off the Capitol Mall and into Oregon State Hospital buildings were met with alarm Thursday by City of Salem officials. The concern was that the state apparently has no inten intention tion of providing money to ease traffic congestion which would accompany the move, and the area already has considerable congestion. Robert Geltz of the Execu Executive tive Department told the Capi Capitol tol Planning Commission that plans are being made to move 707 employes of the Human Resources and Public Welfare divisions into the “J” buildings at the southwest comer of the State Hospital complex within the next bienium. Geltz said $2.3 million has been budgeted for the remodeling of the build ings but no money has been budgeted to improve the traffic carrying capacity of the streets in the area.

But the new governor, a Democrat, emphasized that tourism is the state’s No. 3 industry and must be main maintained tained with minimum harm to the environment.

In an afternoon session, the House rejected a bill to allow the National Guard to set up a museum and turned down a $7 million budget request for the director’s office in the Department of Transportation on grounds that $649,000 earmarked for public affairs could be spent to promote visits by out-of- state tourists.

The women’s name change bill (HB 3275) was approved 43 to 15 by the Senate with all women rep representatives resentatives except Peg Der- eli, D-Salem, voting for it. Critics of the bill ques questioned tioned the procedure for es establishing tablishing the children’s names in divorce cases. The bill would require a court to grant a name change unless the court finds that the change “is not consistent with the public interest.” It would allow a woman to restore the name she had before marriage in divorce cases and to retain the sur surname name upon entering mar marriage. riage. The House also passed and sent to the Senate a companion bill (HB 3274) to repeal the provision that a women’s official domicile is that of her husband. It would allow a woman to claim as an official address a place other than that of her husband. Rep. Dick Magruder, D- Clatskanie, who opposed both HB 3274 and HB 3275, said the domicile bill would allow a married couple to represent two different dis tricts in the same house of the legislature.

The facing page is headlined: “An invitation from a Californian,” and consists of a “letter” to the readers of Sunset from a California man who urges them to take their next vacation in Oregon.

PAULUSIt needs revitalizing i An ill-considered attempt by a couple of Salem- . area members of the Oregon Legislature to kill the state’s tourist promotion advertising appears to have died. The legislators, Rep. Norma Paulus and Sen. Wallace Carson, didn’t lose the whole war, however. The state’s budget for tourist promotion the next two years will be far lower than its level in the recent past. With the immediate danger of death of the budget past, those who favor state participation in tourist promotion should take another look at the state’s program. Traditionally the state has invited non-residents to visit the state. Local promotion groups have asked tourists to come to particular places or resorts. That concept is fine. The state has no business trying to promote business for Sunriver. Sunriver should do that itself. But the state’s program has changed little, if at all, in concept during the past few years while the legislature has been whittling away at the budget. The same tired people are in charge. The same tired advisory committee does things in the same old way it did them 20 and more years ago. The same tired advertising agency produces the same tired advertising copy. The only change in agency practices has been to increase administrative charges and reduce the amount spent for space as the budget went down. The crisis (the danger state funding would be so low as to be useless) is over. Now it’s up to those who would continue the program to get to work. They must improve greatly the one now in existence. jirls 1 athlete By The Associated Press 26-27 at 1 The Oregon Board of Edu- on ^ cation has received from one T , of its committees a recom- . * mendation that a task force f draw up guidelines on oper operating ating athletic programs for girls.

At the board’s December meeting, state Rep. Norma Paulus, R-Salem, warned members that local school districts could find themselves faced with lawsuits if girls weren’t given the same opportunities as boys in athletic programs. She urged the board to construct guidelines to help local districts avoid biased treatment of girls.

State Supt. Verne Duncan will also appoint a special girls’ athletic study committee to consult with the Wom Women’s en’s Caucus of the Oregon Legisla Legislature. ture. If the board’s schedule is followed, the policies that are developed will be implemented during the 1975-76 school year.Off-road vehicle bill on rocky road By LARRY ROBY Capital Journal Writer Rep. Norma Paulus’ 1975 version of the off-road vehicle regulation bill ran into opposition today from its natural enemy — off-road vehicle enthusiasts. Most of the opponents seemed to be saying they don’t oppose some kind of regulation of areas in which off-road vehicles can be operated; they just object to the way Mrs. Paulus is trying to bring that regula regulation tion about. Her bill, HB2764, would confine the use of off-road vehicles on public lands to areas designated by the particular management agency. The law would prohibit the use of these vehicles on public lands after July 1, 1977. Mrs. Paulus, who sponsored a similar bill in the 1973 session of the legislature, told the House Environ Environment ment and Energy Committee today that her measure simply would give agencies managing public lands a management tool. Under the proposal, it would be up to each manager of public lands to decide where off-road vehicles could be operated. Before a use-zone could be established, environmental im impacts pacts would have to be assessed. Public hearings would be required . before an area could be set aside as an off-road vehicle use zone. Rep. Gary Wilhelms, R-Klamath Falls, opposed the bill because he thinks it takes the wrong approach in regulating the off-road vehicles. Rather than close public lands to the use of these vehicles and then gradually open some of the land to use, Wilhelms thinks the public lands should be opened for off-road vehicle use. Then if it is found that off-road vehicles cause damage to the land and the wildlife, certain areas could be declared off-limits to the off-road vehicle users. Paul C. Paulsen, a spokesman for the Pacific Northwest 4-Wheel Drive Association, said the bill “may ad adversely versely affect those who use motor vehicles in their outdoor recreation.” “Many primitive roads leading to hiking trail heads, fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing areas may be closed for years until the require requirements ments of HB2764 can be met by the public land managing agencies,” Paulsen said. He said it would take too long for the agencies to decide where off-road vehicles could be operated. Wilhelms said it would be impossi impossible ble to mark designated use areas so that off-road vehicle people would know which areas they could or could not use. “There is no way to clearly identi identify fy the boundaries so that the off-road vehicle users can tell where they are,” he said. He also objected to the increased number of law enforcement officers he said would be necessary to police the areas looking for violators. “The police officers in the state have much better things to do than go around scouting out violators of this law,” Wilhelms said. Other witnesses complained about the section of the bill that would eliminate the present snowmobile trust fund and place all off-road vehicle funds in the state Highway Fund. Rep. Nancie Fadeley, chairman of the committee, said there will be at least one more hearing on this bill, probably at night, before the commit committee tee takes any action on it.TVs-e -^ov^rssfPM \li«er Tdenre- s> ? O ►'v ‘V,. A8 3MTHE OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1975 He//s Canyon ‘character’ imperiled by dam plans WASHINGTON - Build Building ing two new dams in Hells Canyon would generate elec electricity tricity and some jobs but would cost the wilderness character of one of the world’s largest gorges, says an environmental impact statement released by the Federal Power Commission. The document weights the benefits of the project against environmental damages but stops short of any conclusion about whether the disputed dams should be built. Nonetheless, the statement, which accompanies a petition by a coalition of public and private Northwest utilities for licenses to construct the dams, probably will be cen central tral to renewed congressional debate over legislation to forbid further development of Hells Canyon. In a scorecard drawn up by the FPC to rate three possible two-dam projects, the alter alternative native favored by the utilities gets about an even mix of “B” and “C” grades for its impact on environmental factors such as land use, recreation, esthetics, fish and wildlife. “A” represents the least adverse effects, “D” the most. It gets a “B” for its effect on socio-economic .factors such as employment and income. The option of denying the license earns “A’ grades from an environmental standpoint but a “D” for its effect on employment and income. “In addition,” the state statement ment adds, “the no-license alternative does not reflect the adverse environmental impacts that would occur elsewhere from the develop development ment of alternative power systems. . .” The report says the only practical way the region could match the power output of the Hells Canyon project would be with coal-fired or nuclear plants. While it does not specifically rule out con conservation servation of power as an alternative, it cites an FPC ruling on another project that “energy conservation, although of vital importance, is not of itself a reasonable alternative to the project.” The utilities have been pro promoting moting construction of dams at the Pleasant Valley and Mountain Sheep sites. This project would generate slight slightly ly less power than two alter alternative native sitings but would cause less environmental damage.

Give sun power a chance CW'ta I Jz’uCca'I / —2 ? 5 J A year ago when the lights were off and most of us were queued up at the gas pumps, there was a lot of talk about solar energy to heat our homes, and windmills for electricity. But little has been done to really explore the potential of wind and sun for easing our reliance on oil. Rep. Norma Paulus of Salem told a House committee, this week that it’s time for the state to spur that effort. She proposes six measures to move us out of the Oil Age. As a start, Mrs. Paulus wants the University of Oregon to hire a Coos Bay carpenter, Henry Mathew, to show the scientists how his solar-heated home works. “Solar energy is a viable €nergy alter alternative,” native,” Mrs. Paulus said. “If it will work in Coos Bay it will work in the valley.” Aaron Novick, dean of the UO graduate schools, also thinks Mathew could help the scientists figure out practical ways in which to employ solar energy. But Novick also says we shouldn’t expect solar ener energy gy alone to do the job. Novick probably is right that solar energy won’t solve all our energy prob problems. lems. But if it can help significantly, it’s worth trying. In addition to basic research and the use of Mathew’s practical knowledge, Mrs. Paulus proposes property tax credits for installation of solar systems and state loans for financing. Oregon was the first state to shut the lights off. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t also be the first state to turn them on with sun power. (Bebout)cords access bill goes to Senate •••!

Paulus said, “is an easier task than changing attitudes.” Sen. Roberts also discussed the likelihood of an equal rights amendment (ERA) being ratified in Oregon. “The possibility of voter defeat of a state ERA may be too great a setback for women’s rights in Oregon for the Legislature to risk putting it on the ballot,” she said. “If the Legislature were to refer a state ERA to the peo people, ple, women would have to mobilize throughout Oregon to campaign for it. “And,” Sen.

Theme of the conference will be “Activating Power” with emphasis on personal power, economic power and political power. The “Feminism 73” conference held in Lincoln City in October in 1973 drew an attendance of more than 350. “We’re targeting for 500 women but have a sneaking suspicion we’re going to have more,” Ms. Armstrong said. “The reservations have started to pour in.” Friday registration at 7 p.m. will be followed by an evening of entertainment including art and crafts, folk singing, feminist films and socializing. The general assembly Saturday at 10:30 a.m. will fea feature ture a lead-off panel discussing the power theme. Featured will be: Dr. Sue Gilmore, psychology profes professor sor at University of Oregon, personal aspects of power; Hazel Hays, manager of Albina Human Resources Cent Center, er, who will talk about black women and the feminist movement; Jane Record, economist, the economic aspect; and Rep. Norma Paulus, focusing on political power. Workshops will be the heart of the conference with clusters of topics grouped around each power area. Personal power workshops at 1 p.m. Saturday will range from changing lifestyles, education, health and religion to everyday sexism. Single parents, divorce, group living, housing, sports, abortion and child care will be among 29 discussion topics. Activating economic power will concern workshop participants at 3:15 p.m. with consumer rights, pensions, retirement, insurance, social security and affirmative action added to some of the former topics.

Paulus introduces j J~kr\ AI 7 *T solar energy proposals By ROBERTA ULRICH United Press International Proposals to tap the intuitive ge genius nius of a Coos Bay carpenter to help solve the energy crisis were made today to the House Committee on Environment and Energy. Rep. Norma Paulus, R-Salem, pro proposed posed that the Coos Bay man, who built his own .solar-heated home, be retained as a consultant to a Univer University sity of Oregon research program on solar energy. Aaron Novick, dean of the UO graduate school, also suggested mak making ing use of the experience and home of Henry Mathew. Novick added, however, that scientists at a solar energy center being created at the university plan to “explore the theo theories ries of solar energy rather than rely on the intuition of a genius.” Stating that “solar energy is not in the Buck Rogers category,” Mrs. Paulus outlined to the committee six bills she planned to introduce. The measure Mrs. Paulus said was most important would permit the university to build a house heated with solar energy “to prove the theories and to learn whether they apply in the (Willamette) valley as in Eastern Oregon.” That measure does not specify a sum but Mrs. Paulus estimated the cost at $50,000-$60,000. Alternative bills would give home owners a tax credit if they install solar heating systems or would ex exempt empt solar heating systems from the ad valorem home tax. A fourth measure would permit home owners with veterans loans to obtain subsequent state veterans loans to install solar heating systems. A fifth bill would permit the state housing division to make loans for installation of solar heating systems and would establish a fund for such loans. A sixth measure, a joint resolution, would call on the state extension service to disseminate to the public information of solar heating already available. Mrs. Paulus, who visited Mathew’s home, said he had used ordinary aluminum foil to catch the sun’s rays and in the seven years the home has been built the foil is the only part of the system which needs replacing. She said, "Solar energy is a viable energy alternative. If it will work in Coos Bay it will work in the valley.” Novick said, however, that “at present solar energy alone will not work in the Northwest.” He said with present technology it would provide only 30-80 per cent of the heat required for a home. “We are going to have to have solar energy consoli consolidated dated with conventional systems,” he said.

To more vividly paint a picture of her concerns, Mrs. Paulus presented this “gross example” of what possi possibly bly could happen: “Let’s assume that my neighbor has rowdy parties and that I call the police and complain repeatedly about the neighborhood parties and that I suggest there are undesirable people Sources in the maritime unions said many American firms whose ships have been idle would “jump” at the prospects of a $16 a ton rate, there* is no law against < it.’ H ° ra,p ° f ,n or “Let’s assume that information I gave the police does go on the computer and my neighbor moves to Portland and wants to go to work for Pacific Northwest Bell. He won’t get the job because his prospective em employer ployer will see this peeping tom information I have reported to the police. “That’s bad enough, but my neigh neighbor bor never will know why he didn’t get the job.” This illustrates why computerized criminal history information should be kept confidential and that is why investigatory material should not be run into the computer, Mrs. Paulus said. She says that only convictions should be reflected on the computer files. Arrests should not.

Repeal of law trades problems for problems By LARRY ROBY Capital Journal Writer The citizens of Oregon still have no guarantee that criminal information about them, some of it only hearsay, is not piling up on computerized police files. Much of this information can be used against them without their knowledge. And if they find out there is a file on them, they don’t have the right to look at that file and make sure the information there is correct. This is what disturbs civil libertari libertarians ans like Rep. Norma Paulus who was one of several legislators who tried unsuccessfully Tuesday to get the legislature to right these wrongs. She said the lawmakers, in town for a one-day special legislative ses session sion to correct the mistakes of the 1975 criminal records law, acted “irresponsibly” by not at least set setting ting guidelines on the accessibility of computerized criminal history records. Mrs. Paulus said the law passed Tuesday should have spoken to these points: • What should go on a computer computerized ized criminal history record? • Who should have access to that information? • The establishment of the right of an individual to see what is in his file as it relates to him. • The right of that individual to correct any erroneous material in his file. “The fundamental issue here,” Mrs. Paulus said, “is the right of the individual in a democracy. The right to privacy of an individual comes first.” “In this day of computerization, you simply have to protect the rights of the individual,” she said. Mrs. Paulus acknowledged that Oregon still remains in a state of infancy as far as the computerization of criminal records is concerned. But now is the time the state should set some guidelines on how to handle this information, she says. She said she is not content with the plan that the governor issue an executive order trying to set down some of these guidelines. That is not enough, she said. It should be up to the legislature, speaking for the peo people, ple, to set these guidelines, she thinks. The governor’s executive order can apply only to state criminal justice agencies, Mrs. Paulus said. She con contends tends that he has no power over what local police agencies will do with information they obtain from the computerized files maintained by the Oregon State Police. To more vividly paint a picture of her concerns, Mrs. Paulus presented this “gross example” of what possi possibly bly could happen: “Let’s assume that my neighbor has rowdy parties and that I call the police and complain repeatedly about the neighborhood parties and that I suggest there are undesirable people attending the parties and that I want the police to do something about it. “Let’s further assume that I have a vendetta against that neighbor and tell the police he is a peeping tom or that perhaps I think he smuggles dope or smokes pot or any of these things. “Presently, that information can be kept in the police file. My neigh neighbor bor is not going to know that. This investigatory type material, like the peeping tom and dope smuggling, is only hearsay from me. But it could go into the computer system because there is no law against it. “Let’s assume that information I gave the police does go on the computer and my neighbor moves to Portland and wants to go to work for Pacific Northwest Bell. He won’t get the job because his prospective em employer ployer will see this peeping tom information I have reported to the police. “That’s bad enough, but my neigh neighbor bor never will know why he didn’t get the job.” This illustrates why computerized criminal history information should be kept confidential and that is why investigatory material should not be run into the computer, Mrs. Paulus said. She says that only convictions should be reflected on the computer files. Arrests should not. She does not believe in keeping criminal histories under wraps if the proper information is stored in the computerized files. Mrs. Paulus says the public should have access to the proper information. “The computerized criminal records system is just now becoming operative in the state,” she said. “We have had a lot of abuse of the system.” “We need guidelines now on how to handle this.” But it appears that Mrs. Paulus and others will have to wait at least until 1977 for the legislature to act again on this privacy issue.

Keith Burbidge and Rep. Norma Paulus, both of Salem, scored highest among 17 Mid-Willamette Valley legislators in 1975 leg legislative islative ratings recently pub published lished by the Oregon Envi Environmental ronmental Council. The OEC rated each of the 90 legislators on their votes on issues important to the environmental lobbying organization. The lawmak lawmakers ers were rated on 30 key votes in the House and 23 votes in the Senate during the 1975 session. REP. PAULUS, a Republi Republican, can, scored the highest with an 87 per cent favorable rating among mid-valley House members. Lowest House member among mid-valley lawmak lawmakers ers was Rep. Bernard Byers, D-Lebanon, who got a zero from the OEC, the only one of the 90 legislators to rate no “correct” votes. However, Byers suffered a heart attack and missed a substantial number of votes OEC scored him with zero for the 17 issues tallied which he was present to vote on. BURDIDGE GOT an 86 per cent rating to top mid-valley Senate ratings by OEC. He is a Democrat. Lowest mid-valley ratings for senators were 9 per cent each for Sens. Anthony Meeker, R-Amity, and Ken Jernstedt, R-Hood River, whose district takes in the eastern halves of Linn and Marion counties. Lowest rating for a mid- valley House member be besides sides Byers was 4 per cent for Rep. Jack Sumner, D- Heppner, whose district in includes cludes the same Linn and Marion areas as Jemstedt’s.

Every Tuesday & Wednesday. Plus Special "Monthly” foldoutocrFile72a foldoutFile72a Greenway bill may just fade away this year By LARRY ROBY Capital Journal Writer Was it a slip of the tongue when Rep. Nancie Fadeley referred to Gov. Bob Straub’s Willamette Green Greenway way as a “dreamway” plan? Possibly. At any rate, it appears the Straub bill is now nothing more than a “dreamway” because the House vot voted ed 30-28 Thursday to send the contro controversial versial measure back to the House Environment and Energy Committee. It isn’t expected to be returned to the floor in these last few days of the 1975 legislative session. Straub’s greenway bill probably has gone down the drain. Earlier this week, a spokesman for the governor’s office said the gover governor nor was “pulling out all stops to get this baby passed.” That meant a lot of compromising was going on and votes on other measures were being traded. The governor’s office, however, denied reports that Straub was promising to approve a four-year field burning ban if certain lawmakers would support HB3225 — the greenway bill. Fifteen minutes before the House debate on the greenway bill started, the Democrats and Republicans cau caucused cused on the measure. All along it appeared the bill was in trouble. At one point when the bill was to be considered Wednesday, House Speaker Phil Lang, D-Portland, had planned to carry the bill on the floor. He ducked out of that commitment when he discovered the votes weren’t there for passage. There is nothing more damaging to legislative leadership prestige than to have the leader carry a bill that flops. The chore for carrying the bill was passed to Rep. Fadeley on Thursday. After the half hour caucus Thurs Thursday, day, Rep. Ted Kulongoski, D-Eugene, emerged from the smoke-filled room with both arms wrapped in slings. It was a symbolic gesture that extreme pressure had been applied to the doubting Democrats to vote for the bill. Straub appeared before the caucus to give a last-minute talk in favor of the bill. After the House action, Straub said he was “extremely disappointed” that the bill was shipped back to the committee. He considered HB3225 to have been a way to strengthen the present greenway law which is de designed signed to preserve the natural beauty of the Willamette River’s banks. The bill, as it finally came to the House floor, was a compromise. Originally, Straub had sought con condemnation demnation powers for the State High Highway way Division to condemn riverbank properties and place that land under state ownership. He said this was necessary to prevent property developments along the river. When that condemnation proposal reached the ears of the landowners along the river — most of them farmers — they rebelled. Straub tried to comfort them by saying farmlands along the river were exempt from this proposed condemnation. But that didn’t quiet the farmers. They went to work lobbying against the bill. About that time Lang stepped in and offered amendments that said the state would have the first right to purchase the land along the river when the owner was ready to sell it or when there was a planned change in the land use. The Lang amendments also re reduced duced the width of the proposed greenway from 500 feet on each side of the river to 350 feet. That still was not enough to save the bill. Opponents of the bill said it was designed to eventually eliminate farmland from along the Willamette River. 1 Rep. Norma Paulus, R-Salem, was the most outspoken against thd bill. She contended that the present I greenway law, passed in 1973, was working and there was no need to enact more laws concerning the riv river’s er’s protection. She has been a strong supporter of preserving the banks of the Willamette. The present law gives the State Highway Division the right to con condemn demn under scenic easements if there is a change of land use along the river. It adopted the philosophy that farming was compatible with the Greenway concept — to preserve the natural beauty of the riverbanks. Mrs. Paulus said there has been no change in the land use along the river since the 1973 law was passed. Farmers have not abused the river- banks, she said. She said if it is public access the governor is worrying about, there are plans to build five major parks along the river for the public to use. These park plans were included in the 1973 law. They will provide an estimated 6,900 acres of recreational land. Mrs. Paulus said that intensive public access to the river and farm farmland land are not compatible. She said the Straub plan could bring “hiking, Momma, Daddy, wa watermelons, termelons, a six-pack of beer and the whole schmeer” to the riverbanks. foldoutocrFile72b foldoutFile72b 16—(Sac. n, Salem, Ore., Sun., July 13, 75 Seen and Heard...

Mooney, the highly regard regarded ed entry from the host club, marked up six birdies in the morning round to take a lead of nine and then coasted to an easy 8-and-7 victory over the awed Light in the scheduled 36-hole showdown. “He is a great player,” said Light, a Tualatin member. “He was just too much for me. While drama was lacking in the Mooney-Light match, there was a surplus of it in the Junior Girls title battle where Mary Mulflur of Colu- mbia-Edgewater twice fought from behind and finally defeated Waverley’s Sue Jacobsen on the first hole of a sudden death playoff. The 17-year-old Mulflur got the job done on the 19th hole by sinking a five-foot par putt after her opponent failed on a 20-foot putt for par. When the ball disappeared into the cup, Mary jumped into the air in a dance of joy. “After that putt went in, all 1 felt was relief,” said Mul flur, also the tourney medal medalist. ist. “I have been shaky all week. I’m still shaky, even with the match over.” Rock Creek’s Bill Rullman claimed the Boys Divison championship by default over Salishan’s Jeff Hopkins who had to quit after nine holes because of the flu. Rullman was one ahead at the time. Illahe Hills' Todd Eschel- man downed Springfield’s Mark Sturges, 5-and-4, for the Intermediate Boys title, Tony Joyner of Rogue Valley outlasted Steve Anderson of Corvallis, 2-up, for the Pee- Wee Boys title. The 17-year-old Mooney, who had made 15 birdies in his last 43 holes going into his match with Light, kept up the assault in the final’s opening 18, shooting a three-under- par 69. Three of his birdie strokes came from between 15 and 20 feet. “The putts seemed to go in for me all week when I had to have them,” Mooney said. “Mitch killed me on and around the greens,” said Light who was nine-over-par in the morning. With his nine up advan advantage, tage, Mooney played it cozy in the afternoon. He had no more birdies and he ended up four-ov;r-par for the match’s final 11 holes. “I’m glad the week is over,” said Mitch who has plans to enroll at the Univer University sity of New Mexico in the fall. "This was a tough tour tournament nament for me because every everybody body expected me to win. That made for a lot of extra pressure.” Mulflur, 13-over-par for the 19 holes, said she felt pressure too, plus a hostile gallery for her match with Jacobsen. “1 definitely had the feeling that the most of the specta spectators tors were rooting against me. “I didn’t know I had so many enemies,” she said. Still, Mulflur kept her cool twice when collapse was imminent and made the most of the opportunity when her foe played the overtime hole poorly. Jacobsen went three ahead after five holes, fell back to even at the turn, then built her lead to three again after 12 holes. Mulflur, admittedly dis discouraged couraged after the 12th, start started ed her rally with a two-putt birdie at the 417-yard 13th. Then she got even with win winning ning pars at the 14th and 16th. Both players parred the 17th and both bogeyed the 18th to set up the playoff. BUIJ IIO-I/J CHAMPIONSHIP FLIGHT - Mild Mooney del. Jim Light, 8-7. . f.'» ST FLIGMT • Mark Wlebe dal Jeff O'Nell, i-5.

NORMA PAULUS, the second woman ever to be elected from Marion County to the Oregon House of Representatives, first in 1970... again in 72...and again in 74 has been effective in helping keep Oregon liveable. She has fought for the conservation of our natural resources. One of the first to recognize the importance of solar energy, she has influenced others to study the sun as an alternative to fossil fuels. She has worked diligently to make the legislature an equal partner with the executive and judicial branches of state government. NORMA PAULUS has brought about changes in attitudes and concepts of human rights in Ore Oregon gon in a dignified, quiet, yet forceful manner. She studies the issues, researches the facts and makes careful, considered decisions. Sensitive and concerned about people, she always has time to listen. Her intelligence, quick wit and sense of humor make her a good friend and a formidable opponent. NORMA PAULUS was one of a large family who moved from Nebraska’s dust-bowl to Burns in the height of the 1930’s depression. Though a high school honor student, family finances made college an impossibility. She became sec secretary retary to the Harney County District Attorney, later to a Salem law firm, and in 1955 to the Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court. NORMA PAULUS was accepted as a part-time law student at Willamette University after peti petitioning tioning to waive customary college require requirements. ments. Full-time employment and part-time education continued until 1961 when she became a full-time student. Judged first in moot court competition and an honor stu student, dent, she was graduated and admitted to the Oregon State Bar in 1962. She has since been a self-employed appellate lawyer. NORMA PAULUS has been active in numerous civic and political campaigns for individuals and local issues. She was on the Salem Human Re Relations lations Commission, Marion-Polk Boundary Commission and the subcommittee to INTER INTERACT—Human ACT—Human Resources Center.

As a family, they participate in many community events and whenever possible enjoy sports activities in Oregon's mountain and coastal areas.HEAT PANEL — Dallas Moore, Coos Bay, displays a solar collector he invented to protest increased power costs. Moore, a retired builder, calls himself a “compulsive inventor.” Solar heating possible, despite Oregon climate By SHARLENE P. NELSON Correspondent, The Oregonian foldoutocrFile81a foldoutFile81a HEAT PANEL — Dallas Moore, Coos Bay, displays a solar collector he invented to protest increased power costs. Moore, a retired builder, calls himself a “compulsive inventor.” Solar heating possible, despite Oregon climate By SHARLENE P. NELSON Correspondent, The Oregonlsn COOS BAY — Dallas Moore, angered at increases in electric power rates, protested in a unique way: He started a new business. A retired builder and “compulsive inventor,” Moore, along with Danny Tree, who provides financial backing, started a consulting firm called Solar Heating Design. “We’re interested in giving expertise for the do-it-yourselfer to build his own solar roof panels on an existing house in Western Oregon for about $1,000,” Moore said. The firm offers a short course on solar heating. A basic design incor incorporating porating solar heating for home use is included as well as plans for a heat collector panel designed by Moore to gain maximum heat from minimum sunshine in Western Oregon. After research, Moore said, “I came to the conclusion that the collector com commonly monly in use is not sufficient for here.” Commonly used collectors contain pipes. Water pumped through these pipes collects heat as it is warmed by the sun. The warm water then is stored in a ground tank and used in the heating system as needed. Moore’s panels are compact. He eliminated the pipes within the panel and filled the panel with water, “allow “allowing ing nearly 10 times as much water to be exposed to the sun.” Results from Moore’s tests show his panels rated at 500 British Thermal Units (BTU) per square foot of collector per hour of good sun, he said. Moore advises people not to install a complete solar heating system until they have tried a test panel. Figures compiled from the test panel, which include angle of sun striking the roof at a given time, rate of heat gathered (measured in BTUs), can be projected for a larger area. These test results can tell a homeowner if solar heat will be of economic value. “This system of heating is complete completely ly supplementary,” said Moore. “No one heats entirely by solar heat alone, even in Arizona.” He added that the system can also heat swimming pools. Using low cost materials and elimi eliminating nating interior pipes, Moore said his panels cost about $1.50 per square foot compared to commercially made panels costing $4.50 to $12 per square foot. Like Moore, another Coos County builder, Henry Mathew, was concerned with saving heating costs. When Math Mathew ew built his house eight years ago, he installed solar heat collectors. Mathew said he saves $200 to $300 each year in heating bills. Mathew’s collectors have water pipes through the panels and run the length of the house top. Air circulated around the heated water in a storage tank “flows through the house by natu natural ral convection.” The roof collectors plus another small group of collectors which he later built behind the house provide 85 to 90 per cent of house heat year round. Unlike Mathew’s collectors which use more space, Moore pointed out that his full-contact panels increase the effi efficient cient use of water thus reducing the area of collectors on a roof top. Either way, Mathew’s actual use and Moore’s tests indicate heating with sunshine is possible along the rainy, foggy Oregon coast.T*-- 16—(Set.

Normo Paulus Looks at Legislation By ISABEL ROSEBRAUGH Staff Writer, The Statesman “The State of Oregon should clean its own house in the matter of employment of women!” Representative Norma Paulus of Salem is emphatic as she sandwiches her ob observance servance into a discussion of the women’s caucus, organ organized ized in the Oregon Legisla Legislature ture only two years ago but returning this year with its membership of 11 intact — although one (Mary Rob Roberts) erts) has moved from the House to the Senate. One inheritance which is being shouldered by the cau caucus cus and by its members as individuals is this responsi responsibility bility to strengthen the af affirmative firmative action arm of the State Labor Department, says Norma Paulus. The caucus proposes also to nudge any agency which does not seem to be enforc enforcing ing antidiscrimination laws already on the books, and it is seeing some action, Mrs. Paulus said recently as she settled herself briefly in her State House office between committee meetings. “We have been notified the State Board of Educa Education tion is setting up a task force (in response to our November request) to try to rid our schools of discrimi discrimination nation as related to girls’ participation in athletics.

Paulus suggests. The caucus is bringing in bills on rape, notably to change the current system of inquiring into a victim’s past sex life. “At issue,” says Mrs. Paulus, “is the matter of violence.” “We have a bill to do away with the old alienation of affections suits.

Service in the legislature is so near a fulltime job, says the happy-faced repre representative sentative that an increase in salary is needed, and she would vote for one but “not for this term. I knew what the salary was when I ran and I ran in spite of it! “I haven’t made a nickel from my law practice since I became a legislator. I can keep my family together happily and serve, but I can’t do all three. For any member, it is likely to be a monetary sacrifice.

The letter asked employ employment ment agencies to contribute toward a $25-a-plate Steven Stevenson son dinner.

These are Paulus’ an answers swers to eight questions on issues expected to be debat debated ed in the 1975 legislature: INFLATION - In keeping with President Ford’s plea, we need to reduce public spending. The legislature needs to have an accounting for the expenditure of funds to state agencies. The legis legislature lature needs to call the agencies in and see if the money was spent the way it was earmarked. I don’t feel certain programs should be expanded until we find out if they’re working. We can’t deny state employes pay raises. I don’t know if there will need to be any budget cuts. EXTENSION OF BAN ON FIELD BURNING - I do not support extending the ban on field burning. It is a difficult decision to make. I was wavering on this until I drove to Eugene this sum mer. We have the greatest potential in the Willamette Valley for air pollution of anywhere in the country — greater than in Los Angeles. At this point I have not heard of anything to make me postpone the ban. PRIMARY ELEC ELECTION/PUBLIC TION/PUBLIC CAMPAIGN FINANCING - I think the primary election date should be moved to a time later in the year. The time has come to do that. It wastes every everybody’s body’s time and energy. The public is bored with politics. If anything will do away with public apathy in poli politics, tics, this might. I don’t think I’m for pub public lic financing of legislative campaigns. It could be too easily manipulated by the political parties. The First Amendment problems have not been solved. The proper way to solve this problem is for full and complete disclo sure of sources of political contributions. We need more refinements in the contribu contribution tion disclosure law so we can better identify who the contributor is. DEATH PENALTY - I’m just opposed to the death penalty, period. On moral grounds, I oppose it. It has been demonstrated that the death penalty does not cur curtail tail crime. People should be reminded that the last man hanged in England was inno innocent. cent. STATE HEALTH INSUR INSURANCE ANCE — That is something I don’t know a whole lot about. It has seemed to me that a majority of the people at the federal level have committed themselves to a national health plan. BUSINESS / INDUSTRY LOCATION — I agree with the concept of decentraliz decentralizing, ing, because population House District 31 Harold Adams NORMA PAULUS GOP incumbent growth in the valley is real really ly becoming rather alarm alarming. ing. Maybe we could use the tax credit system to encour encourage age industry to locate else elsewhere. where. We should obviously continue to encourage only pollution-free industry to the state. EXTENSION OF BOT BOTTLE TLE BILL — I sponsored a bill last session to include wine bottles under the bottle bill, but I did not press it. My present inclination is to sit very tight on the bottle bill and not open it up again to real intense lobby pres pressures. sures. We should keep what we have. If we open it up again, I’m afraid we might lose what we have. Wait until more states have bottle bills. This concept should be expanded to other areas. STATE FAIR - Don’t abolish the state fair. It is the only function in the whole state that brings the state together. It needs to be funded adequately to keep its agricultural flavor. There isn’t adequate housing for a lot of things out there. We need new horse barns there and a new exhibit building. We are going to have to use general fund money to upgrade it. The state fair is a priority item in my mind. These are Adams’ an answers swers to eight questions on issues expected to be debat debated ed in the 1975 legislature: INFLATION - We can use some of . our trust funds in investment programs to help the state more directly than now. We have to be careful with trust funds. Maybe they could be invest invested ed more directly in home- building in Oregon. We ought to develop geothermal resources for Oregon. It is an excellent idea to cut the state budget. We have to develop some major new methods of edu education. cation. We must increase the teacher-per-student load. We must change the teacher from a lecturer to a re resource source person. We have to cut our education costs. We can’t afford a 6 per cent limitation every year. EXTENSION OF BAN ON FIELD BURNING - I sup support port extending the ban on field burning in a sense that we distinguish between the kinds of grasses that we will allow continued burning on. There have been sincere ef efforts forts to technologically solve the problem. We ought to have an adequate burner within another two-year pe period. riod. I’m reluctant to accept the fact that they can’t do that. Maybe we ought to consider subsidizing the cost of the burners through a state grant to Oregon State University. I feel that ulti ultimately mately (within six to eight years) we must cut our air pollution by a major per percentage. centage. PRIMARY ELEC ELECTION/PUBLIC TION/PUBLIC CAMPAIGN FINANCING - I don’t real really ly care one way or another whether the primary elec election tion date is changed. We’ve proved that this year we haven’t used the time to campaign. Maybe we waste a lot of time. It would be all right with me if we changed the primary date. I don’t think public financing of leg legislative islative campaigns is possi ble. It just overloads us with another system. I think leg legislators islators have to learn to cut down campaign expendi expenditures. tures. I don’t accept the argument that you have to sell the candidate like a pack of cigarettes. DEATH PENALTY - I don’t support this. I think probably the most important single area of concern as far as the application of the governmental system is in the criminal area. The judi judicial cial system is doing a good job, the corrections system is doing a poor job, and I don’t think the death penalty will help correct that poor job. STATE HEALTH INSUR INSURANCE ANCE — I support this because I don’t think we’re going to have an adequate federal law. I’d like to see a medical insurance program related to workmen’s com compensation. pensation. This wouldn’t cover all the problems such as those medical problems of the aged. Medicare pretty well takes care of that now. I would like to see a system to give medical benefits for on and off the job injuries and diseases. It is done in several other states. BUSINESS/INDUSTRY LOCATION - I don’t think that is a very good solution to the problem we’re talking about. It is a back-door approach to solving our problem of pollution and congestion. I think we are solving these problems now through urban renewal. I’m inherently opposed to mov moving ing people around. A guy ought to be able to go where he wants to go and live where he wants to live. EXTENSION OF BOT BOTTLE TLE BILL — I support extending the bottle bill. I think it is working. It is a way we can individually contribute to solving a prob problem. lem. Wine and liquor bottles are an appreciable part of the litter problem and so we HAROLD ADAMS Demo challenger should solve it. When you’ve got a good idea, carry it on out. The wine and liquor bottle problem is no differ different ent than the soda pop bottle problem. STATE FAIR - I don’t think the state fair should be abolished. I think it should be drastically changed. I think maybe the whole em emphasis phasis should change from agriculture and forest prod products ucts to urban interests. We are holding on to the ves vestiges tiges of the past when we stress agriculture. There are many new interests — envi environment ronment and health, for ex example. ample. We can improve the facilities there and use them year ’round. I would support capital construction projects for the fair through the expenditure of general fund monies. But I don’t think that is neces necessary sary because I think im improvements provements could be made through the issuance of bonds.Lawyers Compete in Dist. 31 By CHARLES E.

We must not be arbitrary in the application of general envi environmental ronmental programs to spe specific cific cases.” Rep. Paulus flatly opposes extending the deadline. 2.

We recommend that Demojcrats vote for Harold Adams in District 3LCapitol plan change outrages Rep. Paulus Rep. Norma Paulus was outraged today when she found out that efforts were being made to dilute the City of Salem’s impact on the Capitol Planning Com Commission. mission. The Salem Republican legislator criticized amend amendments ments to the Capitol Plan Planning ning Commission budget bill which would have the effect of removing State Sen. Keith Burbidge, D-Salem, from the commission. The Capitol Planning Commission has the final say on what state buildings will be constructed in Mar Marion ion and Polk counties. The change in the mem membership bership of the commission would prevent the House speaker and the Senate pres president ident from sending legisla legislators tors in their place to the commission. The chnge was contained in the commission’s $95,848 budget, which was sent on to the Senate for a vote. Mrs. Paulus said, “This little bill weaseled out of this committee will effec effectively tively destroy Salem’s voice in the Capitol Planning Com Commission. mission. It will also erode the concept of the Capitol Mall that the City of Salem has been trying to live with for the past 30 years.” Burbidge said he learned of the move only this morn morning ing when contacted by a member of the press. “I felt this was a back- handed approach to attach this to the budget bill,” Burbidge said. “I will do everything in my power to resist that kind of change. I am extremely anxious to continue to serve on the commission. Salem needs a legislative representative there.” Senate President Jason Boe said he had no part in drafting the amendment to the budget bill that would kick Burbidge off the com commission. mission. He had high praise for Burbidge’s service on the commission. Boe said his duties keep him from attending those sessions and “I’ve been sat satisfied isfied that whatever input I’ve wanted by appointing someone to represent me there has been fine.” Boe said he didn’t want to comment further about the amendment until he had time to personally read it. He refused to say whether he thinks this is a deliberate move to dilute Salem’s say in how the Capitol Mall will develop. Rep. Harvey Akeson, D- Portland, cochairman of the Ways and Means Commit Committee, tee, said it is the feeling of many legislators that the commission requires broad broader er statewide representation. “The mall is a statewide concern,” Akeson said, “and the state should have more say about how it develops.” Related story, Page 1High Fe A prelude to the casting for the 1975 High Fever Follies sponsored by the Sa Salem lem Hospital Auxiliary will .,nO ph°' William G.
