But instead, he said, Beck sent a telegram saying that "in com pliance with my doctor's instruc tions I am unable to accept the invitation to appear today." McClellan said the telegram came from Seattle. He comment ed that Beck, just back from a trip to Europe, was able to make that trip but "may since have be come ill."

HARVEY JR. Associated Press Writer Negotiators in the dispute over organization of the Oregon Senate reported Friday that "no break is in sight." The dispute, which has prevent ed the five-day-old Legislature from functioning, is a battle for control between Republicans and Democrats over the Senate presi dency and control of the 20 com mittees. Sens. Lee Ohmart, Salem, and Philip S. Lowry, Medford, Repub lican members o the six-man no gotiating committee, said Friday morning that the committee has found no solution. Rut they added that the six would meet through out the day "with several areas of discussion yet to be explored. The Democratic negotiators agreed that was the case. The other negotiators are Sens. Alfred H. Corbctt and Ward Cook, both o.' Portland, and Harry Boivin Klamath Falls, all Democrats; and Carl H. Francis IR). Dayton. There have been 45 ballots on the presidency, with 15 Senate Re publicans supporting Warren Gill, Lebanon, and the IS Democrats voting for Walter Pearson, Port land. Oregon doesn't have a lieuten ant governor, so the Senate presi dent is first in line of succession to the governor. Pearson claimed election on a 15-14 ballot Wednesday when a Republican was absent, but he abandoned his claim Thursday. Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton ruled late Thursday that Pearson had been elected, but Pearson: said he still wouldn't accept on the basis of that ballot. I Republicans hotly disputed the I opinion of Thornton, who is a Democrat. They claimed that both parties made a binding agreement that 16 votes would be required for election. After Pearson announced that he wouldn't accept on the basis of the 15-14 ballot, he emphasized that 'he's still a candidate. The Senate then voted unani mously that 10 votes would be necessary for election. The problem of dividing com mittee control remained a knotty one. The Democrats' two latest pro posals provide that they get the presidency. One would give the Democrats the first choice of five committees, the Republicans the Commissioners Appointed Olympia next five, and then each party would choose one at a time. The other new Domocratic offer would give the Democrats the first four and the sixth choices. The Republicans would get choices 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10. After that, the choices would alternate. The Republicans have said both proposals are unacceptable. .
