brought . forth nothing - that
would warrant filing of criminal
charge! against any suppliers.
She said also there was nothing
to justify calling of an investiga
tion by the Marion County grand
jury. .
Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thorn
ton last summer said he had
turned over evidence of iden
tical bidding by suppliers of
goods to public agencies over
to one of Oregon's district at
torneys for investigation.
That district attorney' later
was determined to be Mrs. Kre
men. Most of the state purchas
ing is done from Salem offices.
At that time Thornton said
identical bidding had been dis
covered in several dozen in
stances. The statement was
based on results of surveys tak
en by the attorney general's of
fice from cities, counties and
school districts throughout the
state.
Mrs. Kremen said she con-
Plane Dives Into House
NAHA, Okinawa (UPD A U.S.
Air Force KBS0 tanker plane
crashed into an Okinawan farm
house Thursday and exploded,
killing 11 persons and injuring
seven others.
An official spokesman at Ka
dena Air Force Base said seven
of the dead were Americans
who were members of the
plane's crew. The other four
were members of an Okinawa
farm family. .
The plane was en route from
ferred with state officials last
week on the matter.
She said that both state and
county purchasing officials told
her that with the exception of
asphalt products there have
been few instances of Identical
bidding the past year.
She said that even with iden
tical bidding for the asphalt
products there was no actual
evidence of collusion and no in
dication that the bids were any
thing but reasonable.
- She said, however, the in
vestigation, which has extended
over a period of several months.
was continuing. . .
Mrs. Kremen said that pur
chasing officers told her that
the instances of identical bid
ding had decreased somewhat
since the state and federal de
partments of justice began in
vestigations into possible col
lusion in public bidding.
Lee Quiring, administrator of
the services division of the Ore
gon Department of Finance and
Administration, said identical
bidding often could be ex
plained because suppliers pur
chase their goods from the same
jobber and have the same mark
up for resale.
Thornton said that Mrs.
Kremen's statement does not
mean an end to the investiga
tion. He said, "This whole business
is very much alive and has been
the subject of recent confer
ences ... as recent as yester
day." "There will be something
more on this thing shortly."
Under law, the attorney gen
eral can Initiate eriminal in
vestigations only if requested
to by a district attorney or the
governor.
