Adam Reitz of St. Louis, who died
last December and distributed most
of his $223,456 estate to friends and

for the past eight years. Moore had
done odd jobs for the elderly grocer.
Rail Merger Plan
Opposed by State
PORTLAND flJPB The state
of Oregon asserted Wednesday
t proposed four-railroad merger
will cost Oregon about S2.8 mil
lion in payrolls.
The remarks came as oppo
nents of the merger took the
itand in the third day of Inter
state Commerce Commission
hearings here.
Earlier, Oregon businessmen
spoke in favor of the merger.
The lines that want to merge
are the Northern Pacific; Great
Northern; Spokane, Portland
and Seattle, and Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy.
The Oregon Public Utilities
Commission said In addition to
wiping out lobs, the merger
would cut competition, hurt
service, and decrease control
over boxcar supply. Washington
Hit-and-Run
Suspect Held
PORTLAND Ml Police ar
rested Marvin Foster, 23, Tues
day and charged him with being
the driver of a hit-run car that
killed George Louis Burrows,
48, earlier in the day.
Police said Foster admitted
being the driver. Burrows was
struck at a southeast Portland
intersection.
Foster, arrested at the Grey
hound bus depot, was charged
with hit-and-run driving involv
ing a fatality. His bail was set
at $2,000.
Police located Foster's vehicle
after the accident at 2021 S.E.
89th Ave. The accident occurred
at S.E. 70th and Holgatc.
After questioning some of his
friends, police apprehended Fos
ter at the bus depot. He told
police he was going to Southern
Oregon.
Marvin Skidmore, Portland,
aid he witnessed the accident
and chased the hit-run car. He
had to give up the chase after
following it several blocks at
high speeds.
and Minnesota also oppose the
merger.
Grain and lumber shippers
and other Oregon businesamen
had contended the merger would
improve ' service, increase car
supply, and reduce rates. .
They said under cross-exam
ination their support for the
merger was based on business
judgment, not on promises from
the four lines.
Several businessmen said If
the merger reduced rates, they
would transfer some shipping
from trucks back to railroads.
The question of why two small
Oregon lines were excluded
from the merger plana was
raised during the hearing.
The lines Oregon Trunk and
Oregon Electric are owned by
subsidiaries of two of the lines
that want to merge.
Opponents of the merger sug
gested that the two lines were
left out of the merger plans so
that they could retain revenue
and tax advantages.
Hatfield Sees Qreater Use of State's Resources
By DOUGLAS GRIPP
Of the United Preu International
SALEM Oregon will have
more than one million hunters
and sports fishermen by 1973
and 20 million persons will pour
into the state s parks.
These were two of the predic
tions advanced Tuesday in Gov,
Mark Hatfield's "Decade of De
velopment" report on natural
resources.
At present, there are 861,000
licensed hunters and anglers in
Oregon. Oregon parks accommo
dated 11 million people last sea
son. The natural resources docu
ment, covering 1963-73, was the
last of four. Earlier reports were
on human resources, the econ
omy, and transportation and
public safety.
Hatfield said Oregon needs a
"complete and comprehensive
Inventory" of all its resources.
The federal government, he re
iterated, has got to invest more
money in outdoor recreation in
Oregon, half of which is feder-
Forester Favors
Shift of Costs
SALEM W) State Forester
Dwight Phipps said Wednesday
the Forestry Department is ad
vocating a shift of fire fighting
costs from private forest owners
to the public.
He said a study made for the
department showed that public
use of the forests was causing
more fires so the cost of fire
protection should reflect this.
He said presently private
owners pay about 60 per cent
and the state and federal gov
ernments pay the rest.
Phipps said the study indicat
ed the percentage should be
only 16 per cent for private own
ers, SO per cent for the federal
government and 34 per cent for
the state.
Phipps said the maximum fire
protection cost for a single year
in the past has been $4 million.

At the governor's news con
ference releasing the report,
Fish Director Robert W. Schon
ing and Game Director Phil W.
Schneider declined to predict
whether their agencies will be
merged by 1973.
The natural resources report
included comments from 13
state agencies. Highlights, by

Water Resources Board A
