GENERAL SMEDLEY BUTLER is to do Oregon by air,
Governor Meier announced yesterday, stating that the

any time he desires it.
General Butler will remain In O - i '

has expressed a desire to visit
many sections of the state, which
would not be possible were he
to depend on train and bus serv
ice. The airplane will expedite
these trips. Governor Meier said,
and make it possible for him to
spend more time in Salem, where
the state police headquarters will
be located. - . . 'fC.
- Governor Meier . declared that
the threatened referendum of tbe
law creating the state police de
partment would not interfere
with or retard the organization
plans. Even though the com
pleted referendum petitions are
filed. Governor " Meier said he
did not believe the law would be
defeated at the general election.
The completed petitions ; would
have the effect, however, of de
ferring . operation of the police
department until after the gen

Reports' received here indicat
ed' that Butler will be accom
panied to Oregon by two news
paper reporters from Phila

yesterday that investigators were

yesterday that there is not a

looks like a real help in solution
of the murder.

Today Again
Andy Peterson, nonchalant
dark haired. loose-Jointed mound
star of Willamette university,
made baseball history Wednesday
when he pitched a perfect game,
allowing no College of Puget
Sound batsman to reach first base
safely.- Willamette won 4 to 0. It
was the first home conference
game for Willamette. Tbe same
teams will play again this after
noon at 3:30 on dinger field.
Nobody hit. Nobody was safe
on an error. Nobody walked. No
body was hit by a pitched ball.
Andy struck out 15 batsmen. Two
balls were bit beyond the Infield;
one was a fairly easy out In right
field and George Scales saved the
day on the other with a spectacu
lar running one handed catch. On
another f Occasion Andy himself
averted I a blemish on his record
when he nabbed a hot drive that
otherwise would have been a safe
hit; he stopped another not quits
so hot, bare handed. , f.
f Just how rare such a feat is la
