Martin will feel like doing If what they think is a whale turns out to be some lesser form of sea life. Snook and Martin returned to Salem Sunday from Pacific City, bringing with them what they be lieve is a baby whale dead. While walking along the beach near Pacific City last Thursday they saw something moving on the beach. Investigating, they found a something which is about three and a half feet long and weighs about 60 pounds. They think it is a baby whale, for it has a breather in its head and was spouting water when they first saw It. They brought the fish, animal or what-have-you home, although it died a short time after they found it. . Martin was looking yesterday for someone who could tell him what his find is.

The most effictive way to set rid of them, he suggested, would be to make police-obtained con- fessions inadmissable as court evidence. Most states already have laws restricting the use of confessions in evidence, he said, all aimed at abolishing cruelity in obtain ing them.

After a two hours' conference with Scott, Governor Julius L. Meier mopyed he had accepted the re signation.
