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. I've had a lot of
people that said earlier. ‘Oh. you don't
have anything to worry about,' who are
now coming forth with money,” she
