He planned y question others today to lay grounawora lor a lonnai near, lng at a still unannounced date. "Apparently there waa an unusual number of witnesses," Glass said. "More than a dozen actually saw the plane fall. I think we'll get some thing of material benefit from their accounts. Meantime broken parts of both plane wings, the altimeter, oil pres sure gauge and some other pieces were trucked to the Boeing plant here for examination. Investigators withheld observa tlons on possible cause of the wreck. but Thomas Hardin, vice-chairman of the safety board, expressed be lief pilot-failure was not a factor.

The legislature worked out an unique formula In connection with the PUD problem, one of the most controversial of the session, provided for a reasonable consolidation plan for school districts and balanced the budget through potential In comes not probably over-estimated by the ways and means committee, he saidi Other constructive matters were the forest conservation and land use plan and the new state pa role system. No new major taxes were enacted, old age pensions were not increased, regulation of profes sional classes left alone and labor not disturbed. .... Suggested improvements, to speed up action were for the governor to assume responsibility for legislation, In this regard. Governor Charles A, Sprague leaned backward to avoid "must" legislation, Sackett said. State departments should be com pelled to have their amendments ready on the opening day with In terim committee reports in the hands of legislators 30 days prior to opening of the session. He also sug gested a breathing spell for the go vernor between Inauguration and the opening of the session and bet ter pay for legislators, pointing out that the cost of the session, $180,000 estimated In this case, Is 90 per cent overhead and only 10 per cent pay roll for the 90 members.

The men stated that the right- of-way for the Improvement had all been pledged except by two proper ty owners and the price asked by them is considered such as to bring the matter to a stalemate unless some plans can be worked out for meeting the situation. Commissioner Melson said that government funds for the road would probably run around $30,000 provided the government approves the project; In addition there would be additional WPA funds for road side Improvement approximating 300 men's work for 30 days at around $25,000 and that the county ex penditures for equipment and other details might reach $10,000 and he would regret to see the road held up by right-of-way difficulties caused by two men.

Counties Don't Have to Pay Half of Relief The state supreme court ruled to day that counties do not have to pay half the cost of administering the direct relief program. Upholding Judges John P. Winter and James P. Stapleton of Multno mah county, the high court ruled In favor of Multnomah county and against the state relief committee. The opinion, however, has little weight Inasmuch as since January 1 the state has been paying all ad ministrative costa under a 1939 law. Before that time, counties and the state shared the direct relief costs equally, but since then the state pays 60 per cent and the counties 40. The state relief committee had contended that counties, which paid hall of the direct relief costs, also should pay half of the administra tion charges. But the high court, in its opinion by Justice Bean, ruled that "it Is not appropriate to require counties to pay their expenses. It would be Just as appropriate to require coun ties to pay a portion of the gover nor's salary or expenses." The supreme court also denied Umatilla county's petition for re- hearing of the case In which the county sought unsuccessfully to build a new courthouse with delinquent taxes. a Other decisions today were: First National bank of Portland, appellant, vs. Blanche M. Wall. Ap peal from Multnomah county. Suit Involving administration of an estate. Opinion by Justice Belt. Judge James w. Crawford affirmed.
