REPRESENTATIVES KAFOURY, McCOY, PRIESTLEY by I)on Chambers, Adminis trative Assistant to Repre sentative Wally Priestley Now that the legislature has passed the Governor’s Tax Plan, with the election set for May 1, it is turning towards other issues. On Monday of this week the House of R ep resen tatives passed a Shield Bill for the protection of newsgatherers. This measure will allow the press to investigate matters of public concern without the same fear t h a t existed that some representative of the establishment would per secute the reporter for his zeal. Wally Priestley voted for this bill, and also gave it support through the com mittee process. "This is only the first step in protecting persons from a rapacious authority where that author ity is threatened by their investigations. A first step in returning society to the control of the people instead of the reverse which is the present state of affairs.” R ep resen tative Priestiey, in his capacity as a member of the House Committee on Labor and Industry, is at tending hearings on the log export bill in Coos Bay this week. His findings are that it appears that the large timber interests are attemp ting to rape the Northwest of all of its first grade timber, move on to greener ground, and leave ourselves Mayor Neil Goldschmidt Secretary of State Clay Myer! State Treasurer Jim Reddin County Commissioner Clark Take Off The Boards” From The Front Of REP. WALLY PRIESTLEY with a deforested wasteland. All steps must be taken, he believes, to prevent t h i s from happening, and the first step in this regard is to bring these facts to a high level of public awareness. The Federal Government has dismissed the phoney charges against t h e five young people who were ar rested in Bend last week, while purportedly taking clothes and food to needy Native Americans in Wound ed Knee, South Dakota. A Hearing has been scheduled before the House Committee on Transportation to deter mine if the State Police acted within their authority in this m atter. R ep resen ta tiv e Priestley is a member of this Committee and pushed for this hearing. It is a sorry day when the good will ex pressed by the conduct of the "Bend Five”, is met by such unlicensed and brutal conduct as that of the gov ernment in this affair. 9 A.M.
