Univ. of Oregon Library EUGENE, 0SEG0JI Sen. Grenfell admits abduction story hoax He actually was involved in accident PORTLAND (UPD Stale Soil. William A. Grenfell Jr., D-Port-land, today admitted he concoct ed a story that he had been kid naped and pushed from a moving car early Tuesday. GrenfeU's attorney, William C. Hefferin, released a statement admitting Grenfell was injured in an auto accident Monday night in which Harold A. Jones, 61, of Portland was killed. The statement admitted Gren fell was returning from a Van couver, Wash., restaurant in the company of Mrs. Natalie Cren shaw, 23, of Portland when the accident occurred. He was driving Mrs. Crenshaw's car, the state ment said. "He was obsessed with a strong desire to protect Mrs. Crenshaw from criticism although it must be emphasized their respective conduct was perfectly proper, and In" his dazed condition, he made aome remarks which were to be come banner line news," the statement read. Wifa In Hospital GrenfeU's wife, Kay, was in Bess Kaiser hospital where she had given birth last week to the couple's fourth child. Grenfell was taken to the same hospital with fractures of the pelvis, right hip and left collarbone, in addition to numerous lacerations. Hefferin said he will undergo surgery Thursday for the hip injury. He is listed in satisfactory condition. Grenfell, 37, is a Democratic nominee for Multnomah County commissioner, Hefferin said there had been no discussion of whether he planned to stay in the race, but there was no indication he planned to withdraw. Lying on Street Grenfell was found lying along side a Portland street at 3:30 a.m. Tuesday by a cab driver. Today's statement said he and Mrs. Crenshaw were going south on Union Avenue in Portland in a heavy rain when Grenfell thought another car had swerved into his lane. "In attempting to avoid a colli sion, his car skidded on the wet pavement, spun into the north bound lane and collided with a northbound - vehicle. He was thrown out of the car and over the bank where he lay uncon scious for an indeterminate length of time," the statement said. Grenfell later made his way to the street where he was found. Killed in Accident Jones was killed in the accident and Mrs. Crenshaw was found wandering dazedly nearby. It was at first assumed she had been the driver and only occupant of her car. The attorney said GrenfeU's station wagon, which had been the object of a police search, was parked somewhere on a city street, where Grenfell had left it. Yankees fake Series edge in 5-3 win NEW YORK (UPD-RojkieTom Tresh crashed a three-run home run in the eighth inning today to give tile New York Yankees a 5-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants and a three-games to two lead in the World Series. Tresh's dramatic wallop into the lower right field stands capped a sudden explosion that wrecked the Giants just when it seemed that San Francisco pitcher Jack San ford was nearing a brilliant hurl ing effort. Sanford. who shut out the Yan kees in the second game of the series last Friday, struck out 10 Yankees today and. until the eighth, the only runs he had given up were scored on a wild pitch in the fourth inning and a passed ball in the sixth. In fact. Sanford had just struck out three straight batters, two of them in the seventh inning and one to start the eighth, when the roof fell in on him. A crowd of 63.165 saw Tony Ku bek open the winning rally by grounding a single into right field. Bobby Richardson followed with a single to left that moved Kubek to second and brought Tresh to the plate. Tresh. a brilliant switch-hitting rookie whose father also played in the major leagues, then stunned the Giants with his three-run hom er that sent Sanford into the show ers and down to defeat. The victory went to Ralph Tern-, who pitched all the way for the Yankees and allowed eight hits. It was the first series victory of Terry's career after four such de feats. Terry struck out seven Giants. SAVED BY RAIN SAN FRANCISCO (LTD Ob viously partisan newsboys hawked their papers which an nounced a rainout of the World Series game Tuesday thus: "Rainstorm saves Yankees."

The millsge rate for the City of Bend is 93 7, down from last year's 95.8. The rate for the City of Redmond is 83, up exactly a mill from last year s 82. That means Bond residents, in side the city limits, pay about nine and a third cents per dollar of assessed valuation; Redmond residents eight and a third cents. The county is divided into 32 code areas, representing geogra phical districts. There are 20 tax units, among which the total tax is dispersed. Every taxpayer pays 12 mills for the county tax, 23 mills for the rural school fund and 1.8 mills to Central Oregon College (under the 2 mills pledged by the board). Coda Area Units The code area contributing to the great number of units is 5-3, Terrebonne, which also pays tax es for School District No. 5, School District No. 5 bondi- and interest, Redmond Union High School, Redmond Union High School bonds and interest, the Central Oregon Hospital District, Rural Fire Protection District No. 1 and Terrebonne Water District.

The code area with the largest millage rate is the City of Bend, with its 93.7 mills. The one with the smallest is Lower Bridge, with 50.4 mills. The greatest increase was in Alfalfa, where the millage rate raised from 81.1 to 91.4.

Muskie noted Kirwan had cut perhaps $1 mil- lion from water resource projects in Oreson and Washington as an outgrowth of the dispute. Muskie noted the loss would be deducted from a total of about $73 million for Oregon which he said was the largest since 1951.

An election clerk explains to her that even though she wants to see that new school built she is still too young to register a vote. get, and a loss of $600 in state off sets caused the jump. Drop at Sisters The greatest drop is in Sisters, where the rate this year is 87.4 mills, down from last year's 119.9 mills. Paring the school budget resulted in the drop. Statements will show the as sessed valuation (which is multi plied by four to arrive at the as sessor's appraisal of true market value), the amount of the tax, and special asessments. These in clude fire patrol, reforestation and irrigation districts, and per sonal property late filing penal ties. Of the total tax, schools as usual, get the lion's share, 67.78 per cent. The rest of the break down is as follows: Cities, 15.41 per cent; county, 12.16 per cent; Central Oregon College, 2.23 per cent; Central Oregon District Hos pital (Redmond), 2.02 per cent, and fire districts, .40 per cent. The percentages are about the same as last year, except for the addition of the college district.

The dangerous drug is obtainable in Canada but cannot legally be imported into this country. "I wish I might be as effective in getting projects for my state as Sen. Morse and Sen. (Maurine) Neuberger are for Oregon," he said. Rep. Al UUman, D-Ore.. speak ing in The Dalles Tuesday, called the trade bill enacted by Congress i "tlie most significant break- through in trade policy since Cor dell Hull first originated the re ciprocal trade program."

The majority opinion was writ ten by Chief Justice William Mc Allister. Justice Kenneth O'Con nell dissented. Shipley was convicted in Lin coln County of the slaying of Linda Jean Stevens, 16, Willa mlna. Shipley's attorneys contended there was an unreasonable delay in taking him before a magistrate after he was arrested. They said his admissions and confession during the 25 hour lag should have been excluded from evi dence. But Justice McAllister wrote that Shipley's statements were admissible, and their admission at the trial did not violate due process. McAllister said the federal rule excluding such statements does not apply to the trial of criminal cases in state courts. Justice O'Connell's dissent said the Ore gon high court should adopt the rule followed by the federal courts. Justice Alfred T. Goodwin wrote a special concurring opinion In which he sided with the majonty, but he warned prosecutors to "carefully consider" statements made In O'Connell's dissent. Shipley, of McMinnviue. now has 20 days in which to ask the high court for a rehearing. If no request Is made, the mandate will eo to Lincoln County Circuit Judge Earl P. Conrad, who will set an execution date. Two other persons are awaiting the outcome of appeals in their murder convictions and death sentences Jeannace June Free man, 21, and Richard B.

The House approved a speed up procedure which cleared the way for immediate negotiations to resolve a Senate House dispute over terms of a "pork barrel public works bill. Compromise agreement on the multibillion dollar measure is one of the chief roadblock to final adjournment of the first Kennedy Congress. It already is the longest election-year session since World War II. House leaders had indicated earlier they had little hope of getting out before Saturday. Sen ate Democratic Leader Mjke Mansfield, who had set Thursday night as a target, urged all Sen ators still in town to stay here. Officials of both houses ad mitted that the Agriculture De partment money deadlock was the main block to long-awaited congressional adjournment. Meantime, the nation's doctors, lawyers and other self-employed persons watched the White House for President Kennedy s action, U any, on a bill to let them set up tax deductible private pension funds. Congress finally passed the bill this year after 11 years effort by its backers. TEMPERATURES High yeiterday, 41 degrees. Lew last night, 15 dtgrMt. Sun Mt today, 5:30. Sunrist tomor row, 4:14.

In other business last night the board discussed the joint play field development program now underway at the site of the new grade school in tha Bear Creek Road area.

Directors instructed that a let ter be sent to the Baseball Com mission outlining the situation. Chairman Hagen presided at last night's meeting, held at the clerk s business office. Mid-Oregon gefs prey lew of winter Winter prematurely settled over Uie Cascades and the Interior country today as more snow fell in the highlands and light, cold rain added to plateau moisture. Klamath Falls was under a four-inch blanket ' of snow this morning and Chemult reported a three-inch pack that was turning to slush in mid-morning. Snow re moval equipment was in opera tion. ' Flurries of snow drifted over the Cascade passes, but cold rain accompanying the flurries left the pavement black and damp. The high McKcnzie route, now virtually bypassed by the new Clear Lake Cutoff into the Eugene country, remained in use. Flur ries were reported from the pass. Bend last night measured 0.23 of an inch of rain, to bring the total for the throe-day storm up to 1.32. This is well above the normal for the entire month of October. Snow Visible To the west snow was visible on trees well below timborline. The Klamath snow made news on the state storm front, not only because of the four inch fall, but because broken power lines re sulted in outages. Tree damage occurred in Klamath Falls, result of a heavy pack of damp snow. Snow covered the entire Klam ath basin, and was a major set back for potato farmers who will not be able to get back into their fields until the ground dries. The Weather Bureau reported snow fell at many elevations above 4,500 feet in Oregon. Lakeview and Bums reported heavy rain.
