National/Regional Paulus not surprised by Goldschmidt’s gain in polls EUGENE (AP) — Republican guber natorial candidate Norma Paulus says she's not surprised by the big gain made by Democratic opponent Neil Goldschmidt in n recent statewide poll. The survey essentially placed the two candidates in a dead heat. "I said a year ago It would be up and down." Paulus said Tuesday after a cam paign appearance before a Eugene civic club. Earlier, during an interview with editors at The Register-Guard newspaper. Paulus said the poll shows only that Goldschmidt has picked up support from previously uncommitted Democrats. "I didn't lose any (support." she said. The survey of Oregon voters, publish ed by The Oregonian newspaper in Portland on Sunday, showed Goldschmidt leading Pa ill us by 45 per cent to 44 percent with 11 percent of those questioned undecided. The results were an improvement for Goldschmidt over those recorded in March, when the newspaper’s poll put Paulus ahead by 40 percent to 40 percent. Goldschmidt has since then boosted the visibility of his campaign, engaged in a well-publicized debate with his Groups make plans to prevent expected prostitution upswing PORTLAND (APJ - Portland neighborhood groups have started to make plans fur fighting |h« upswing in prostitution that traditionally takes place when the weather improves in spring and summer Working under the '“Save Our Neighbor hoods Prom Street Crime” banner, a broad based cHitsana* committee plan* to exert pressure on prostitute*, their customers and «,» ty officials Unlike pas I years, when neighburlwKid protests were sporadic, committee members say this year they plan to organise, start early and not slack off, "This is a logical progression ' said t om m it tee member Ron Herndon, who also is co chairman uf the Black United Front For the past several years people have pleaded with city government to do something about prostitution. ”And over the years folks have seen very little has corns of that.” Herndon said. ''Peo ple have tried to make use of the city officials. but they have found that if there is going to be any change, it wilt ultimately have to come from the people themselves.'* He said the IHVmember committee plann ed a rally today night in northeast Portland to gather community support for fighting prostitution. 'Were sick of seeing our neighborhoods disintegate before our eyes." said committee member Toni Williams. "Every year when the weather gets better and the prostitutes start to work the streets, some well-meaning group springs up and has a rally or march against prostitution. "Then, when the rally or march is over, the effort dies down.** she said. "Not this time. It s going to be different this year because we're going to zero in our attention on prostitution. '* Williams said the three-month-oid com mittee wants the city to allocate additional police resources to sections of the city in which prostitutes work Volcano spouts steam, rumbles ; VANCOUVER. Wash (API — Earthquake activity ;under ' Mount St. Helens was reported; at slightly elevated levels . Wednesday and the volcano again spouted a steam plume, a US. Geological Survey spokesman said. "The number of earthquakes under the volcano Increased slightly over the weekend, pro-/ . , mpting the University of Washington to increase the ear* . »hquake category from ‘background’ to 'slightly elevated.' " said Steve Brantley oi the t JSCS. Another "degassing event." one of many over the past five days, was reported shortly after !» a.m. Wednesday, hut there were no eyewitness reports, and so it was not known whether the emission ot steam was mixed with ash. Brantley said. Geologists to o k measurements on the north flank of the lavu dome in the crater of the southwestern Washington volcano on Tues day and found no change in the rate of swelling. Brantley said the recent events do not signal an immi nent eruption. Even though geologists cannot measure other parts of the dome due to lack of space around it in the crater, they are confident it is not swelling on a large scale because there has not been an increase in rockfalls off the crater's wulls or formation of new ground cracks on the dome.

Goldschmidt also has reported spen ding close to $1 million in cash and in kind contributions on his campaign through mid-April, compared with only $405,000 for Paullts. "It’s taken a whole year and a million dollars for him to come back up even (in the polls)." Paulus said, adding that she yvas not worried that Goldschmidt had raised more money than her campaign. "The bad hews for Norma Paulus is that he has raised a million dollars. The good news for Norma Paulus is that'he has spent it all,” she said, adding that it has been easier for her to raise money since figures for the two campaigns became public earlier this month. ”As a matter of fact.
