PORTLAND — The first tavern licensed at an Oregon col
lege or university opens for business Friday afternoon at Portland
State University.
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission granted PSU a
license to serve beer and wine at the Nordicland Tavern, located
in the Smith Memorial Center on the school's campus in down
town Portland.
WOODBURN — Smoke from a field burn was blamed for a
series of minor accidents Thursday afternoon on Interstate 5
between Woodburn and Wilsonville.
Oregon State Police said a wind shift caused the smoke to
reduce visibility to almost zero. Troopers said the smoke trig
gered six minor accidents involving 15 vehicles. One minor injury
was reported.
Traffic in both the north and south-bound lanes was slowed
for most of the afternoon, troopers said. The problem was worst
between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., they said. During that period they tried
to reroute traffic but did not close the freeway.
Late afternoon breezes gradually cleared the smoke, troop
ers said.
PORTLAND — The phone company won a long squabble
with a Portland couple — who paid a $2,000 bill in pennies.
Julian and Mary Sebastian left 200.000 pennies at the down
town offices of Pacific Northwest Bell this week.
"There's no way we can beat them, so we just want to sting
them," said Sebastian, 27, who hauled 40-pound bags containing
the pennies from his car to the phone company a block away.
The couple said their telephone troubles began three years
ago after they allowed a man Sebastian worked with to stay at
their house. While the Sebastians were away, the man made
phone calls to his girlfriend in the Philippines.
The guest did not pay the nearly $3,000 in long-distance
phone calls. Legal efforts to fight the bill failed, and and the
Sebastians had already already paid off about $1,000 of the bill.
Pacific Northwest Bell had said it would refuse the pennies
as payment but quickly reversed that decision.
WASHINGTON — A Washington congressman has ac
cused Rep. Jim Weaver, D-Ore., of using delaying tactics in an
attempt to block passage of a Northwest energy bill.
But Weaver called the accusations by Rep Lloyd Meeds
"sheer and utter nonsense.”
Meeds, House sponsor of the bill, criticized Weaver, saying
chances are poor for passage of the bill before Congress ad
journs Oct. 14.
"It has become absolutely clear to me that Weaver wants to
kill it,” Meeds said. "He doesn't want to be caught killing it in the
street at high noon, so he's trying to strangle it to death in a dark
alley.”
Weaver disagreed, noting he canceled a campaign trip home
last weekend to work on the measure.

House sustains $10-billion veto
WASHINGTON (AP) — Under intensive White
House lobbying, the House handed President Carter
a major legislative victory on Thursday by sustaining
his veto of a $10.2 billion public works bill as inflatio
nary and wasteful.
The 223-190 House roll call fell 53 votes short of
the two-thirds majority necessary to override Carter's
veto. Had the House voted to override, a similar
majority would have been required in the Senate to
enact the bill over the president’s objections.
After the vote, Carter said in a statement: "This
has been a tough fight. I am gratified by the results...”
He said the vote amounted to “a long step in the
battle against inflation” and that the nation "owes a
debt to the Congress for its wise and responsible
action.”
Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill had warned that the
veto — no matter what the outcome — would make
enemies for the president just as his crucial energy
legislation nears final passage.
Leaders of both chambers said no effort would
be made to rewrite the public works bill to suit Carter
before Congress adjourns Oct. 14. Instead, a routine
continuing resolution would guarantee financing for
existing projects, while new ones in the measure will
await action next year.
Earlier, the president vetoed the public works bill
in the name of "fiscal responsibility." He warned
Congress he would "continue this process, no matter
how unpleasant it is,” as long as he receives what he
considers wasteful legislation from the Capitol.
