iTh StoUMPt, Salem. Oregon, Wednesday, Oct 22. 97 George Neuner Takes Issue With Hayden Attorney General George Neun er took issue Tuesday with two contentions made Monday by Dis trict Attorney Miller B. Hayden in his comment n the attorney general's recent directive to dis trict attorneys 4W a statewide cleanup of gambling devices. Xeuner denied that he had ever ordered county officials to destroy gambling devices without a court order, in response to Hayden's statement that county officials would be diable in civil suits for destrcydgambiuig devices if (the attorney general's directive were tallowed. Hayden also had cited a 1939 state sutreroe court decision hold ing that owners or operators of gambling devices must be given a hearing before the machines could be destroyed. In this matter, Neun er said yesterday that the case in volved only a point of law on an injunction sought by a pinball ma chine operator to restrain a sher iff from confiscating i such ma chines. The opinion that the oper ator's complaint was not sufficient for such an injunction had com mented, but not ruled, on legality of such confiscation itself, Neun er added. .?
