Conn , which built the Ohio and the Michigan The 1983 federal budget in cludes funding for a tenth submarine The Tridents are 560 feet long and displace 18.750 tons They normally carry 24 missiles, each with several nu clear warheads and a range of 4.000 nautical miles Atiyeh asks limits in SAIF probe SALEM, (AP) — Gov Vic Atiyeh has asked special investigator Les Anderson to limit his probe of the State Accident Insurance Fund Corp to allegations that the board of directors got ' sweetheart deals” on their workers' compensation insurance rates Atiyeh met Monday with Anderson to tell the former Eugene mayor what he wants him to accomplish, hopefully before the Nov 2 general election Atiyeh said he wants Anderson to find out whether any of the SAIF board members, including Atiyeh s campaign treasurer Leroy Livermore and long-time political allies Lynn Newbry and F F "Monte " Montgomery, benefited illegally from their appointment as corporate directors Anderson said he didn't think his acquaintance with Newbry and Montgomery would bias his mvestiga tion Atiyeh told Anderson to avoid duplicating the work of state auditors and legislators who also are looking into SAIF's business practices A joint House and Senate task force was appointed last week to determine whether SAIF, a semi-public corporation, has achieved the goal of lowering workers' compensation rates Secretary of State Norma Paulus and Insurance Commissioner Jo Driscoll have asked their auditors to examine both the finances and the performance of the company Among other things, auditors will be looking at the board s decision to give big raises and cars to corpor ate executives, and its policy of allowing large surpluses to accumulate instead of lowering rates or increasing dividends Lottery tickets probably’ legal SALEM. (AP) — Oregon district attorneys probably won t prosecute people for having Washington state lottery tickets in their possession, a special counsel to the state attorney general said Monday There simply won't be any pro secution,'' Special Counsel John Reuling said. "It would be very im practical to try to enforce it " An exception would be made for someone possessing so many tick ets that it appeared he was trying to sell them. Reulmg said Washington state lawmakers this year adopted a state lottery to raise $20 million by June 30. 1983 Of ticials say $49 million worth of $1 tickets will be sold beginning Nov 15 Winners will receive prizes rang ing from $2 to $100 Hundred-oollar winners will be eligible tor one of two $1 million drawings Oregon law does not prohibit the purchase of an out-of-state 'ottery ticket, Reuling said, but it does ban possession ot illegal lottery records, including individual tickets. He said if an individual ticketh older were prosecuted, the ticketh older might argue that the Washing ton lottery was legal and that the ban didn't apply Reuling said he doesn't know whether a court would accept that argument, but he said district attorneys are unlikely to spend much time trying to develop a case to test the law KOIN-TV challenges federal subpoena PORTLAND, (AP) — A Portland television sta tion is challenging a subpoena seeking transcripts of news broadcasts since Feb. 5 about five people facing federal charges stemming from a Portland bank robbery Ted Bryant, news director of KOIN-TV, said the station's attorneys have filed a motion in U S District Court in Portland seeking to quash the subpoena. Two defendants in the case. Stephen M Kessler and Donald G Booth, were among six inmates who escaped from Multnomah County's Rocky Butte Jail in July and later were recaptured A defense lawyer in the case, Ronald Hoevet, said the three other commercial TV stations in Portland had agreed to comply with modified ver sions of subpoenas Hoevet said the news material will be used in arguing for a change of venue on grounds of pretrial publicity. The case stems from an April 1980 holdup Bryant said the motion filed Thursday argues that the subpoena was unclear, unreasonable, op pressive and failed to meet some requirements of federal law He said complying with the subpoena would require reviewing scripts of every news show because the station's filing system doesn't include all news materials that aren't accompanied by film Other defendants in the case are Patrick O' Shea, who was arrested following a high-speed chase July 16 near Eugene, Cynthia Walker, who was arrested with O'Shea, and Inez Guerrero.
