Par ticular mention waa made in the sat&it of the Inability to locate cer tain court orders dealing: with csme of the patients. The Oregon lass providing for payment to the state of - support money for pa tients at several of the institu tions was copied from the Wash Xagton act. Most of the criticism gainst the law originated with the-county courts which were corn yelled to pay for the care of the nan-violent Insane. This part of the law was attacked at the X93S legislative session and wes re- wmiam Einsig. secretary'of the Beard of control, declared that the collection system under criticism few the auditors, was established by a former employe of the board, and that he had nothing to do with Its details. He said every effort weald be made to collect delln teat elaims against the patients and counties, and that the total receipt reported In the audit would be Increased materially. The law originally was recom Kended by Governor Meier, who contended ; that patients with tends or estates should be com pelled to contribute to the state for their support " -.

Fair Di rector Max Gehlhar declared Mon day as he detached a dollar bill from a letter from Oklahoma. Here's what the letter said: "Several years ago I sold pa pers at the fairgrounds. We had newsboy ribbons then with which to. get in free. I let another hoy use my ribbon and sell papers a short time in order that he could get in free. ... I may have help ed another boy get in too. Please forgive me. . . Enclosed find one dollar for these admissions'. This is the fourth similar let ter received by Gehlhar in the last few weeks. One contained more than $2 for light globes stolen and others were for admission gained by sneaking under fences in 1928. Those sneak holes have long since been fixed, Gehlhar adds.
