Townspeople
termed ‘bigots’
RAJNEESHPURAM (AP) —
The personal secretary to Indian
guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
said Sunday that residents of a
nearby town “deserve to be
scared” that homeless people
may be dumped there with too
little money to return home.
“They deserve to be scared
because they are bigoted,” Ma
Anand Sheela said of Madras
residents. “When we have
bigoted people from Madras
come (here) with guns and other
things, we deal with them. It
happens often.”
The mayor of Madras, 45
miles southeast of Ra
jneeshpuram, has said he is ad
vising people to lock their doors
to protect themselves against
the homeless who may be left
there after being bused to Ra
jneeshpuram. A city of 2,300,
Madras is the nearest sizable
town to the religious sect’s
2-year-old commune-city.
About 2,000 homeless people
— enough to outnumber the

OSU professor
shot and killed
CORVALLIS (AP) — Thomas
C. Hogg, a professor of an
thropology and assistant dean
of research at Oregon State
University, was shot and killed
while deer hunting on the
southeast slope of Mary’s Peak.
Hogg, 48, was hunting with
three companions in an area of
low brush and few trees when
he was shot Saturday, the first
day of the deer-hunting season.
Peter F. Sandrock Jr., Benton
County district attorney, said
Hogg was one of three hunters
driving a deer toward another
hunter at the bottom of a hill.
“Hogg was in the middle of a
line of three,” he said. “I don't
know which member of the par
ty shot him. Several shots were
fired at one time, and he was hit
in the chest.”
Sandrock said he did not
know the names of the other
three hunters in the party. Sgt.
Ben Miller of the Oregon State
Police would not disclose the
names, saying the information
was not pertinent.
Hogg received his bachelor’s
degree in history and an
thropology from the University
of Oregon in 1958. In 1963, he
earned a master's degree in an
thropology and sociology, and
in 1965, he received his doc
torate from the University.
He is survived by his wife,
Barbara Hogg, and two
daughters.
ATT office to
close in Salem
SALEM (AP) — The
American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. is closing its
Oregon consumer sales and ser
vice headquarters in Salem,
eliminating a $1.7 million
payroll.
The move, part of a nation
wide reorganization, will not af
fect Oregon AT&T service, com
pany officials said. However, a
union official termed the an
nouncement “devastating” to
local workers.
Sue Pisha, a Portland-based
representative of the Com
munications Workers of
America, said some workers
had moved as many as three
times in recent months and had
been assured the office would
remain in Salem.
The closure will take effect
Nov. 30. It does not affect 80
employees at AT&T's long
distance telephone office in
downtown Salem.
The 73 workers, some wear
ing mourning black, learned of
the closure at a Friday meeting
in their Oak Hills Shopping
Center office. They had heard
rumors of the closure earlier in
the week, and got official word
from Tom Haslam, the Seattle
based regional manager for the
consumer sales and services
division.
Shultz calls
talks positive
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Secretary of State George Shultz
said Sunday that the opportuni
ty for holding productive
negotiations with Moscow has
been improved, but he declined
to characterize last week's talks
between Pres. Ronald Reagan
and Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko as "very
positive.”
In an appearance on ABC
TV’s “This Week with David
Brinkley.” Shultz said that as a
result of the nearly nine hours
of talks, “the chances of a more
constructive dialogue with the
Soviet Union.. .are reasonably
good.”
Walter Mondale told
reporters Sunday that the
Reagan-Gromyko session was
an “apparent failure in arms
control.” and “both disappoin
ting and a basis for apprehen
sion” because it raised doubts
about “which Reagan will we
see” if he wins a second term.
“Will we see the Reagan who
for four years has engineered an
arms race. . .or will we see a
Reagan who, as he has in the
past week, talks about peace?”
he said.
