siderable comment and debate as to
the probable constitutionality of the
act, although no definite opinions
have been expressed, and state of

be taken to court. Attorney General
I. H. Van Winkle said today he had
not been asked for a written opinion
on the matter from the governorVof-
uce. fie wouia not voice an oral
opinion on the Issue. Van Winkle
stated he had discussed the matter
orally with representatives from the
governor's office, but sold be ws not
at liberty to disclose such conversa
tion.
Governor Meier, It was stated at
his oifice. disapproved these sums on
the ground that the legislature took
from him his Derogative of single
Item veto by placing the entire ap
propriation in one sum. and that it
was the view of the office that be
cause or this situation, the governor
had the right to pare such Items. The
secretary of state announced his of

' other than to file the measures as

Interested state officials searched
records and supreme court opinions
on precedence and rulings on partial
sum vetoes, ana louna that in Ore

such vetos being upheld.
