Of The Associated Press SALEM Wl The Oregon Legis lature was headed Friday toward a dispute as to whether the gov ernor should appoint the attorney general, who now is elected by the people. Sen. Warren Gill, Lebanon Re publican who heads the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced he would introduce such a bill. The office now is held by Demo crat Robert Y. Thornton, who has. had many disagreements with the Republican state officials. It couldn't become effective for two years. The Constitution won't permit an office to be abolished during the term. NO POLITICAL MOTIVES Gill said he has no political mo tives in sponsoring the bill. He said "it is just good business to let the governor pick his own chief law officer." Under Gill's proposal, the attor ney general would continue to ap point attorneys for state depart ments. The House has a bill, by Rep. Loran L. Stewart, Cottage Grove Republican, to deprive Thornton of his power to appoint the de partment attorneys. Speaker Edward A. Geary told his House committee chairmen Thursday that things have to be speeded up. He said he was worried over the slowness with which bills were being introduced, and he asked them to get bills back to the floor as soon as possible. FEWER BILLS Through Thursday, there were 90 House bills and 93 Senate bills, compared with 120 House and 62 Senate bills at the same point two. years ago. Geary also asked the chairmen to put time limits on speakers at committee hearings, asked mem bers of House committees to at tend Senate committee hearings, and called for as few closed ses sions as possible. Rep. Stewart, who heads the House Tax Committee, announced he is asking the State Tax Com mission to take another look at its estimated revenues for the next two years.

""'Maybe our deficit isn't as big as we think it is," Stewart said. The Senate Highway Commit tee introduced a bill to permit state agencies to buy liability in surance for their employes.
