trict, but adds Eastc" Multno
mah County to a first district
made up of Clackamas, Washing
ton, Columbia, Clatsop, Tillamook,
Yamhill and Polk counties.
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.
At present there is a wide pop
ulation variance between Oregon's
four congressional districts: The
first 517,000, the second 265,000,

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."

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

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.
A report from Ray Armstrong,
forester for the Water Resource
Board, indicated an April total of
6.48 inches based on readings taken
at Wolf Creek Guard Station in
the Little River District.
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.

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. Pinball Machine Charge
