TO CM An editorial in the . Medford Mail -Tribune, initialed . A. (Eric Allen, Jr., managing ed itor), discusses the functioning of county government in Oregon under the 'heading, "County Anachronism. Noting the sue resa of professional managers in cities, Allen asks if they would not be good for counties. He cites tho fact that while a county may go to a manager plan on vote of tho people, none, in Oregon has done so; and only two, Clackamas and Lane, have put the question to the people. 1O0 coumy, wrnra si urn, is a creature of the state, chiefly ad minstrative in character (aside from its judicial arm). Author ity is well diffused, with 10 elect, ed officials. The county, in con trast with the cities, has little or no legislative power. The powers of the county court are limited Allen terms it "an unwieldy body unsuited to administration." He adds this indictment of the present system; ''Sine the system wh let up Dearly a century ago, it does not reflect the growth of the cilies, the piling up of "fringe" prob lems, the present rapid means of communication and transportation. It larks flexibility and the power to deal with urvnt problems in a forthright manner. "Rates of pay for both elected and appointed nfficials have been below comparable rates jn other fields, thus lending too often to attract, not top-flight personnel, but those who look on their .lobs as sinecures. Time after time, a county election race has been, to the voter, a choice of tha less poor ef two randidates. rather than an enthusiastic endorsement of one good man over another." Finally, Alien raises questions: Should the county have a single, trained executive? Do we really need 10 elected officials? Should counties be given "home rule" like cities? Would it not bring benefit (Cenllnued Editorial Page 41 Burglars Haiti Couple Involved In Vice Probe PORTLAND UB Two Portland residents who figured in the recent grand jury investigation told p o 1 1 e Saturday night that burglars entered their apartment and stole valuable furs and jewel ry.
