Lodge raided, evidence seized
EUGENE (AP) — Fifteen police officers swept
into the Eugene Elk Lodge early Thursday, inter
viewed those present, seized some "gambling
devices” and left seven hours later without
arresting anyone, police said
"The officers involved are to make a report
and turn it over to the Lane County District
Attorney Pat Horton, and Horton will decide how
to proceed,” said Eugene Police Capt Bill
DeForrest
Horton’s secretary said he was in a meeting
at a local hotel and would have no comment on
the matter.
DeForrest said he wasn't sure how many
people were in the lodge, but there were 40 cars in
the parking lot
He said his department obtained a search
warrant for the lodge after receiving complaints
for 18 months that illegal gambling was taking
place there.
He wouldn't say what type of "gambling
devices" were seized
"Evidence indicative of illegal gambling was
seized," DeForrest said. "I'm sure there was
some money seized "
He said that when the officers gained
entry," they went to the location in the lodge
where they believed illegal gambling was taking
place
Decision tabled in spraying suit
A U S District court judge postponed a deci
sion Thursday on a federal lawsuit filed by a
coastal valley resident involving pesticide spray
ing in the Siuslaw National Forest
At a hearing in the Eugene federal building.
Paul Merrell requested more time to file an addi
tional brief in support of his case against the
Environmental Protection Agency, the
Department of Agriculture and the Department of
the Interior Federal District Court Judge Robert
Belloni gave Merrell two weeks to submit the brief
Merrell, a disabled Vietnam veteran, claims
the EPA is wrong in allowing the federal Bureau of
Land Management and the USDA Forest Service
to spray certain pesticides in the Siuslaw Forest
region before they can be thoroughly tested for
safety. He filed the suit on his own behalf and is
acting as his own attorney.
Named as defendents in the suit are EPA
administrator Anne Gorsuch. Secretary of Interior
James Watt. Secretary of Agriculture J R Block
and seven other subordinate officials
In his suit, Merrell asks that use of all
pesticides in the Siuslaw forest be stopped until
the federal agencies prepare a single environ
mental impact statement with complete test
results for all substances Among these are the
herbicides 2,4-D. Dicloram and Asulam
OSPIRG’s allocation stays put
A question of local or state
control of the Oregon Student
Public Interest Research Group
dominated discussion at the In
cidental Fee Committee
meeting Thursday
The University chapter of
OSPIRG requested its entire
budget allocation be transferred
to the state OSPIRG office The
committee previously had
approved such a transfer for
half of OSPIRG's budget but
voted 7-0 against the request to
transfer the other half of the
money
Most OSPIRG activities are
channeled through the state of
fice in Portland, said Carl
Vander Zanden, state OSPIRG
chairer Because of its
centralized operation, costs are
cheaper, he said
Half of the money should stay
at the University to ensure local
control for University students,
said David Gibson, ASUO vice
president of administration and
finance, in giving the ASUO
Executive recommendation
against the request In the past,
OSPIRG has not always carried
through on promised goals,
allowing the money to be spent
possibly at other OSPIRG
chapters, added IFC chairer
Bart Hill said
The recommendation comes
directly from ASUO Pres C J
Balte, said Gibson, adding that
Balfe “isn't that adamant about
many things
But the state office is
spending $20,000 here this
year, some of that for a full-time
paid professional whose salary
alone is more than the IFC
allocation, Vander Zanden said
The IFC allocation is about
$10,000
