Marion and Linn counties would be added to all of Eastern Oregon to create an expanded second dis trict. The fourth district would include Lincoln. Benton, Lane, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Curry and Coos counties. This proposal was identical to that proposed by Katz, except that it added the Portland city area west of the Willamette River to the first district, which also in eluded Lincoln County. Katz admitted there were dis advantages to dividing a city, and Barton claimed his proposal more nearly grouped areas of economic interest. Barton said shifting Marion and Linn counties to the Eastern Ore gon district would not be a prob lem because of the good highways that join the areas. Both plans were at wide vari ance with the Mosser proposal which would split the City of Port land and create a third district of the Multnomah County area cast of the Willamette River. It also would add Coos, Curry, Josephine and Jackson counties to the East ern Oregon second district in a "boot toe" effect that would ex tend tho district from Idaho to the Pacific Ocean.

The rapidly changing weather on the vorld's tallest mountain cut off radio communications be tween the base camp of a 19-man American expedition and Katman du, the nearest link to the outside world.

Name of the climbers were with held pending the outcome of the effort. A spokesman for the expedition said the weather was fine in the morning when the men started but turned bad during the after noon. He said the final thousand feet of altitude should be climbed in about four or five hours under favorable weather conditions. In order to climb a thousand feet vertically the men had to traverse four or five times that distance in a zigzag route to the summit. Winds up to 150 miles an hour, extreme cold, snow and mists arc a constant peril at the "roof of the world" in the- Himalaya Mountains between Nepal and Communist-held Tibet.

A British expedition led by Sir Edmund Hillary accomplished the , feat in 1953 and a Swiss team made it in 1957. The American expedition is sponsored by the National Geo graphic Society, the State Depart ment, the National Science Foun dation and the armed services. Leader Norman Dyhrenfurlh, an explorer and movie producer from Santa Monica, Calif., planned the expedition with the thoroughness of a military oper ation.

The expedition also plans to climb Everest's two sister peaks, 27,890-foot Lhotse and 25,850-foot Nuptse, following this attempt. Influenza Death Figures Reported As Conservative ATLANTA, Ga. (UPI) - The chief statistician for the U.S. Communicable Disease Center revealed a report that 40,000 persons were killed by the recent flu epidemic in this country "probably was a conservative es timate." Dr. Robert E. Scrfling said actual figures on deaths caused by influenza are not available. But based on preliminary reports from 108 selected cities "it would appear that between 40,000 and 50,000 deaths are directly con nected with the recent flu epi demics," he said. Another spokesman for CDC pointed out that this would make the winter of 1962-63 the worst as far as deaths in the United States are concerned since the winter of 1957-58 when the nation suffered its first Asian flu epidemic. He said that excess deaths at tributed to influenza totaled only 24,000 in 1961-62 when Type B rather than Asian flu hit the country. "The report of 40,000 flu deaths is, at this stage, only a guess but, In my opinion, an accurate one, possibly on the conservative side," Serfling said. It was pointed out that many of these deaths were caused in part by other diseases which were aggravated by flu. "Most deaths attributed to in fluenza involve persons with chronic diseases, as of the heart," a spokesman said. "This is why we try to get persons with, chionic diseases to have flu shuts."

Thun., May 2, 1963 Myrtle Creek School Board Considers Building Needs The Myrtle Creek School Board and budget committee met in one of their series of joint sessions Wednesday night and settled down to consider the major problem con fronting the district, that of pro viding high school facilities for the expected boom in enrollment in the area. The problem of over-crowding was compounded recently by the rejection of the long-proposed re organization of area districts into one administrative district, when Days Creek-Tiller vetoed the plan. Myrtle Creek will now go ahead with its own plans for a new high school. Problem Scanned At the last joint meeting, a de cision was' made to consult the county sanitarian regarding dispos al problems which might be en countered if a new high school were built in Tri-City. Tri-City at present has no sewage disposal system. A report on this consulta tion given at Wednesday night's meeting indicated that it is possi ble to purchase a packaged-unit disposal system to serve the pro posed school at a cost of $18,000 to $24,000. The system would be 95 per cent underground and would require only two man-hours a day to oper ate. Such a system would be ade quate for a 600 to 1,200 student body. With approval voiced by the county sanitarian, the board and budget committee decided to go ahead with plans for building a new high school at Tri-City. Voter ap proval will be sought in the fall after plans have been developed, correspondent Lorraine Bircnbaum reports. To this end, school architect John Briscoe of Eugene will be House Group Okays New Label Measure SALEM (UPI) A housewife who wonders if she is buying bal loon bread would be able to find out by reading the label if a bill approved today by the House Food and Dairying Committee is passed. The bill would put the word "balloon" on such bread, in let ters 1-8 to 1-2 inch high. It also would require identification of balloon bread in advertising. Weight would have lo be shown on the labels. Labels on the top, bottom or sides of a loaf would have to show the word "balloon" in 1-4 to 1-2 inch letters. On a wrapping tag or end tag type would have to be at least 1-8 inch. The bill is the committee's an swer to a long dispute over one pound loaves baked in one and one-half pound pans to make them fluffier. Small bakeries protested they were deceptive. The Slate Agri culture Department tried lo ban them, but the case was thrown out in court. The half dozen large bakeries that make balloon loaves have in sisted customers like the airier bread. Meanwhile, a bill to reduce weight-mile taxes on big trucks and raise them slightly on small er trucks ran into a roadblock. The measure easily passed the Senate and is pending before the House Highways Committee. Deputy Atty. Gen Lloyd Ham mel said the bill appears to be a revenue measure and should have originated in the House. The public utility commissioner said if passed as is, it probably would have to be tested in court. Plans were being made to sub stitute a House bill, which then would have to go to the Senate for repeat action if it cleared the House. Precipitation Totals Given Precipitation totals for April in the North Umpqua area were re ported today by Mrs. Arthur Sel by, correspondent.

It was reported the area had .69 inches of rainfall from 7:30 a.m. Wednesday to 7:30 a.m. Thursday. A precipitation report from Steamboat showed a total of 5.97 inches for the month of April.

Such classes would let out at 2:30 p.m. Board approval was voted. Following the school election Monday, the board will meet to canvass the votes and will alsov hold its regular meeting at this time instead of on Wednesday of next week. ' Romney Speach Boosts Chances For Nomination WASHINGTON (UPI) Michi gan Gov. George Romney, who used to be one himself, appar ently has won the hearts of some leading businessmen in his role as a political figure. Romney, former president of American Motors, drew an emo tional and enthusiastic response Wednesday when he addressed business leaders at the annual U. S. Chamber of Commerce meet ing. The reception added more lus tre to his chances of becoming the GOP presidential nominee in 1964, although Romney has dis claimed any candidacy for the White House. Gets Standing Ovation The dapper, animated Republi can won a standing ovation from the delegates. They appeared cap tivated as much by his political style as his message. Romney warned them against using politics as an instrument of economic power. He urged the formation of a political party that I would have true citizen appeal, I with enough independence to tell bag business or big labor where to go if either got pushy. The talk in the hotel lobby and cocktail bars afterwards suggest ed that Romncy's speech was the highlight of the chamber's three day meeting here. "I'm still not sure I understand everything he says," was the typical comment, "but I like the way he says it. He's my kind of candidate." Faith In Individual Romney got most of the cheers when he talked about reversing the trend toward what he termed "federalization." He urged less reliance on fed eral government and more faith in individual initiative an argument that has been more or less the battle cry of this year's chamber convention. The businessmen also appeared impressed by the governor's staga presence his capacity to deliver a political pep talk with the fervor of a circuit-riding evange list.
