j!Testimony finishes^
jin suit against D.A4
Testimony ended Wednesday in a Lane County Circuit Court i|
ft action challenging the election of Lane District Attorney Pat :§
ft Horton. |
Judge Richard Mengler of Benton County, who is hearing g
■?: the case, said he would take the arguments under advisement, g
Both parties have until the end of this week to enter written »
'& material as evidence. A decision in the case is expected jg
| sometime late next week. jg
Horton, represented by attorney Stan Long, had defended g
himself against charges of election law violation by law student g
| Donald Armstrong. Armstrong is a law clerk to the attorney g
£ that is representing him, Roy Dwyer. |
f. There are a number of passible rulings. Horton could be g
| cleared of all charges, or, some or all of the allegations could be g
| affirmed. |
| In the latter case, the office of D.A. would be declared g
I vacant and the governor would appoint an interim district at- g
tomey to serve until the next general election, in 1974.
In testimony Wednesday and late Tuesday, Horton g
responded to charges that he exaggerated his professional g
experience in his campaign literature. |
He said during his campaign for the office, he represented |
27 clients in criminal cases. The newly elected district attorney 1
said he bore out his claim that he was “a tested and successful |
defense attorney.”
Former Lane County District Attorney John Leahy, now a |
state assistant attorney general, confirmed Horton’s claim that |
Horton had been considered a senior trial attorney during his %
four years as deputy district attorney.
Staggered work hours
could end traffic snarls
Staggered work hours just may
be the answer to the frustrating
problem of traffic congestion in
downtown Eugene.
The L-COG Citizens Advisory
Committee for Transportation
Planning reviewed and endorsed
a tentative proposal Tuesday
night, and is passing it on for
further consideration in hopes of
alleviating the problem.
Wes Morgan, committee
representative, said the idea is to
shift people within the
framework of the particular
business or industry they are
working at. In this way, people
would be craning and going into
the downtown area at all dif
ferent hours of the day.
Suggestions of a Lane Area
School-Transit Study, as well as
increased use of public transit,
are also included within the
proposal. The committee
stressed the need for public and
administrative support in fur
thering action on the proposal.
A proposal from the State
Highway Commission concerning
funds for bicycle planning was
also discussed at the meeting.
That commission proposed that if
local agencies would allocate 5
per cent of their 1 per cent of tax
revalue towards bicycle plan
ning it would be matched by the
state and amount to ap
proximately $500.
The committee rejected the
proposal on the grounds that it is
more trouble than what it is
worth.
Committee member Ruth
Bascotn said, “This is a poorly
written proposal and too small to
be of any help when you consider
the citizen and staff time that
must go into it. We appreciate
the interest and support, but we
need a better offer.”
A recommendation to the Lane
Council of Governments (L-COG)
dealing with the type of public
hearings for the transportation
plan process was also presented
at the meeting by Dan Herbert.
The structure for these public
hearings is principled after a
similar plan in Seattle.
Herbert says “By correct
planning we can get state and
federal financing.” Although the
recommendation was approved,
further considerations will be
made at the next regular meeting
on Tuesday, Feb. 13.

Fuller: ‘no such thing as race’
Buckminster Fuller
challenged the existence of race
and superiority in intelligence
during a talk he delivered to
more than 2000 persons at
McArthur Court Wednesday
evening.
“Fundamentally there is no
such thing as race,” Fuller said.
Early man was quite dark and as
he moved north away from the
equatorial zones, he bleached out,
according to Fuller. The inter
breeding of families in tribes
created what man now knows as
the races, he explained.
Fuller attributes intelligence to
the diet one receives. Poor people
were not intelligent because of
malnutrition, and rich people had
the advantage of better brain
development because they ate
animals which eat beneficial
herbs and grasses, he said.

At 77, Fuller is still quite active
in architecture. He is the ar
chitect of the geodesic dome and
disclosed Wednesday that 50,000
domes of his design are found
throughout one-half of the earth.
The geodesic dome is made of
triangular spheres.
Fuller said he is currently
designing three major airports in
India. He reflected that his father
used to go to India on business
and it took about a year to
complete the trip from Boston.
Fuller said he marveled that now
his trips to India take less than a
day. He used this point as a
departure for, much of his talk
and described how technology
has drastically changed our
society in a very short time.
“A bloody revolution or a
technical revolution” is man’s
choice now, he said. “The
breakthrough is here, we have
the resources to have the highest
standard of living by 1985—this is
by my own calculation,” he said.
“Humanity is designed for
success. We change disorder to
order. All of humanity has just
broken its shell—a new
awareness is occurring. When we
get out of our drive line—we
discover,” Fuller said.
“Evolution is doing quite a lot
for man, in spite of himself,” he
concluded.
