Bids reviewed
for road work
at Horse Ridge
The Oregon Stale Highway
Commission at its November
meeting in Salem Tuesday re
viewed bids for the clearing
and grading of a 2.45 mile unit
of the Central Oregon Highway
over Horse Ridge.
The apparent low bid was
$458,209, with Groesbeck-Durbin,
Eugene, submitting the offer.
If the bid is accepted, work will
be started at once. This is plan
ned as a winter project.
Also received by the commis
sion at its bid-opening Tuesday
jivas an apparent low bid of $4,
782 to install traffic signals at
East Third and Franklin Streets
in Bend. That bid was submit
ted by Steeck Electric Co., Eu
gene. In the Horse Ridge area, the
contractor is expected to en
counter some heavy work on
rocky ridges. The new line of
U.S. Highway 20 over Horse
Ridge will be closed to the Dry
River gorge, and will eliminate
the many curves in the present
road, scene of many accidents
in recent years.
The unit for which bids were
received Tuesday will fit into a
pattern of several calling for
the modernization of Highway
20 over Horse Ridge and west
toward Bend. Most of the mod
ernization will be along new
surveys.
The modernized route, hug
ging the Dry River Gorge in
several areas, will provide
some spectacular views of the
old river bed through which
once flowed a heavy stream
that cut its way north through
lavas to Crooked River.

By I la Grant Hopper
Bulletin Staff Writer
All Deschutes county school
districts, which are not part of
an administrative district, ex
cept Sisters and Brothers, were
represented at a meeting of the
Rural School Board Tuesday
night in Redmond. The Sisters
district has presented a petition
to the Rural Board to "consoli
date and-or merge" with the
Bend Administrative District.
Represented at the meeting
last night were the Alfalfa, Clo
verdale, Terrebonne, Tumalo,
Redmond elementary and Red
mond Union High School dis
tricts. The Brothers district some
time ago voted down a propos
al to consolidate with the Bend
Administrative district.
The meeting last night was
an informative one, to explore

For at least 15 years, the fire

be done in any one of three
ways, it was pointed out.
They are consolidation, forma
tion of an administrative dis
trict, and a union high vote
down. The latter method per
mits a union high school dis
trict to include the first eight
grades, with the approval of
districts concerned.
No plan has been worked out
for consolidation of the remain
ing districts, it was emphasized,
and any such move would have
to come from the districts con
cerned. An offer of Tom Caldwell,
principal of the Alfalfa School,
to make a study on laws in
volved in the various methods,
was accepted. This study, when
completed, will be available to
all concerned administrators
and board members as back
ground material, according to
County School Superintendent
David Potter.
Caldwell will make the study
in connection with a continuing
education course in school law,
in which he is enrolled. The
class meets in Redmond, with
Cecil Sly, retired Crook county
school superintendent, as in
structor. A hearing for consolidation of
the Sisters district with Bend
has been set for the next meet
ing of the Rural Board. This
action was taken at the regular
Rural School Board meeting
this past Monday night in Bend.
Ex-Bend manager
out at Campbell
Special to The Bulletin
CAMPBELL, Calif. - This
Santa Clara County town was
without a city manager today,
following the resignation of
Walter T. Thompson, who came
here in December, 1962, from
Bend, Oregon. Thompson sub
mitted his resignation to the
City Council, which accepted it
without comment.
In his resignation, Thompson
pointed to the increased pres
sures and demands of the job,
and said he felt it best to re
sign at this time "in all fair

Gc'dwater
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Gov.
William Scranton, eager to take
an uncommitted Pennsylvania
delegation to the Republican
national convention, is making
personal appeals to Sen. Barry
Goldwater. R-Ariz., and Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller whose sup
porters might upset the Scran
ton plan.
Scranton had planned to fly
to Washington today to talk with
Goldwater but the conference
was called off because of the
death of Goldwater's mother-in-law
in Arizona. Scranton has
scheduled a meeting in New
York Thursday with Rockefel
ler.
Favorite Son I
Scranton, a favorite son can
didate, has disavowed any talk
that he is a serious candidate
lor tne nomination out is re
garded as a possible dark
horse.
His request for a meeting
with Goldwater came after
backers of the senator began
making threatening noises in
Pennsylvania about trying to
line up convention delegates
pledged to him. Goldwater's po
sition, announced at a Pitts
burgh news conference last
week, is that he is not a candi
date now and has no responsi
bility for discouraging political
activity by his friends. But his
position has not notably slowed
his enthusiastic supporters.
Uncommitted Delegates
Scranton told a group of Re
publican women Tuesday night
in Harrisburg, Pa., that GOP
convention delegates should
stay uncommitted so they can
Keep unilied and do a job at
the convention."
"We no longer take orders
from above," he said. "If you
keep the people together and
give them a voice tocether we
will be more effective whoever
is the nominee."
Road is planned
into Waldo Lake
A contract will be let next
spring for development of an
access road into Waldo Lake
from the Willamette Highway at
Odell Lake, U.S. National For
est officials have announced.
The project will be financed
by contributions from O&C
Counties.
Waldo Lake, spread over
some 6,000 acres at the summit
of the Cascades, is the second
largest lake in Oregon. It lies
astride the Cascade crest, and
presently is accessible only over
rugged roads.
The new road will reach
north from the Gold Lake area,
already linked with the Willa
mette Highway by a forest
road. Waldo Lake is seven
miles north of the Willamette
Highway.
The road will extend along
the east side of Waldo Lake, a
short distance back from the
lake shore. North and west
sides of the lake will be kept in
their natural state, accessible
only by rail or boat.
Eventually, it Is expected that
the road to be constructed with
O&C funds will be part of a
loop that will extend northeast
over the summit, to join the
Deschutes National Forest's
Waldo Lake route.
At present, a Deschutes road
extends from the Cascade
Lakes Highway to Clover Mea
dows. Eventually it will be ex
tended past Charlton Lake and,
it is anticipated, will join the
loop route of which the O&C
funds road will be a link.
Plans for the Gold Lake -Waldo
Lake project were outlined
Tuesday at a meeting of the
Association of O&C Counties in
Portland. Thomas E. tftterte-.
chief of the road section of the
Forest Service's division of en
gineering, reported on plans for
the construction to be started
north from Gold Lake when
snow conditions permit in 1964.

Governor has high praise
for legislature and its
desire for speedy windup
By Zan Stark
UPI Staff Writer
SALEM (UPI) - High praise
for the legislature and its desire
"to wind up the session as soon
as possible" was voiced today
by Gov. Mark Hatfield.
And in an interview with Unit
ed Press International, Hatfield
revealed the Boardman crisis
came to light as plans were be
ing made for groundbreaking
ceremonies on the site.
Hatfield said, "I appreciate
the desire on the bart of leais-
lative leaders to do a good job,"
and added "I have had extra
ordinarily fine cooperation from
the leaders of both houses."
Hatfield said demands by Re
publican lawmakers that budget
cutting bills contain rigid guide
lines resulted because Republi
cans "want the legislature to
participate in the responsibility"
for the cuts.
He said legislators had
a "single purpose," and that
was to find answers to the
state's fiscal crisis.
Thornton Ruling Mentioned
Asked to comment on Ally.
Gen. Robert Y. Thornton's opin
ion that he did not have consti-
tuional authority to make selec
tive budget cuts, Hatfield said
"I am never surprised at any of
his decisions."
Other than to say the opinion
"held up the session," and
was "subject to debate," Hat
field refused further comment.
He said he did not consider
the legislature's overriding of
two of his vetoes to be a "set
back." "I disagree with them, but
I'd remind you the legislature
has upheld more of my vetoes
than it has the vetoes of any
other governor in Oregon his
Pharmacists
angered over
welfare cuts
PORTLAND (UPI) -Pharma
cists were angered today over
reduction in payments for
prescriptions filled for welfare
recipients, and many have re
fused to fill more of them.
Jim Mead, president of the
Portland Retail Druggists Asso
ciation, said "this certainly puts
the state in a questionable light
as a credit risk."
The State Welfare Commission
has advised that a surplus of
claims last month against the
S42.028 monthly drug fund made
it necessary to reduce payments
to about 65 cents on the dollar.
Mead said most local drug
gists were continuing to fill pre
scriptions for persons already
on the list, but may be refusing
to accept new ones.
Pharmacists in Pendleton and
Salem were reported to be re
fusing some welfare prescrip
tions. Andrew Juras, state welfare
administrator, said the depart
ment was not allowed to over
spend the $42,028 drug allow
ance. Claims in October, he
said, amounted to $64,293.
Disney plan for life-like'
Lincoln stirs controversy
SPRINGFIELD. 111. (UPI)-A
controversy boiled today over
whether a life-like Abraham
Lincoln figure that sits, stands,
talks and gestures is dignified
and characteristic or "gro
tesque."
Walt Disney came to the land
of Lincoln Tuesday to talk
about the project, which will be
the heart of the $1 million Illi
nois exhibit at the New York
World's Fair.
'He is going to speak to
you," Disney said. "His voice
is as close as we could get
from actual descriptions of this
great man. He will appear in a
very dignified setting.
"Wfcle seated in a chair be
fore speaking he will drop his
tory. I don't think they were
right, but that's part of the
check and balance system.
Neither of the bills was earth
shaking." On the Boardman crisis, Hat
field said "it's not a matter of
asking for more money, we
want to meet legal technicali
ties." He said "I have no reserva
tions whatever" on Boeing Com
pany's lease for the 100,000-acre
industrial site in northeastern
Oregon.
Asked to comment on appar
ent reservation voiced by Trea
surer Howard Belton and Secre
tary of State Howell Appling Jr.,
Hatfield noted "they both have
voted for it in board meetings,
and both have signed the lease."
Good Future Seen
I am anxious to be identi
fied with the Boardman project.
u was my idea, and the day is
not far off when everyone in
volved will be mighty proud to
have had a part in the project,
he said.
He said groundbreaking cere
monies at Boardman had been I
scheduled for Monday, but were
canceled after the special legis
lative session began when Boe
ing s attorney retused, at the
last minute, to sign the agree
ment.
He said it will first be devel

said this will be followed by

clear title
to Boardman
SALEM (UPI) -The Swat
today patted a resolution calling
for adjournment sin die of thai
pecial session of the Legisla
ture tonight at 6 p.m.
The resolution went to t h
House where the time could be
adjusted.
SALEM (UPI) -The slate of ,
Oregon and the Boeing Com
pany denied today that Oregon
will be "flat on its back for 77
years" if Boeing's lease for the
Boardman project goes through.
In testimony before the Joint
Ways and Means Committee,
witnesses for Boeing said the
company already has spent
hundreds of thousands" of dol
lars on the site.
Boeing is waiting at the door,
ready to move in as soon as
the state gets clear title to the
vast tract of land on the Co
lumbia River in northeastern
Oregon, said Bruce Johnson, di
rector of public relations for
Boeing, and Nathan Krisherg,
chief of the technical staff of
the Aerospace Division, which
has grown from 16,000 to 48,000
employes in four years.
Boeing contemplates using the
site for research and develop
ment testing, tney said.
The charge that Oregon
would be left flat on Its back
was made before the committee
Tuesday night by Howard Mor
gan, former federal power com
missioner and former Oregon
Democratic chairman..
In fact, he said, the lease is
so poor Oregon may lose money.
His remarks were promptly
greeted by a charge from
Warne Nnnn, Administrative
aide to GOP Gov. Mark Hat
field, that Morgan was "a man
who aspires to be governor."
Nunn said Morgan was using
Boardman as a . "publicity
launching pad."
Nunn appeared before the
committee today along with Hat
field's legal aide, Loren Hicks,
Boeing attorney Grant An
derson, and State Planning
Counsel Eugene Marsh.
They said the Boeing contract
for Boardman could launch
space age industry in Oregon,
and denied that the contract is
unduly favorable to Boeing.
Some legislators, however.
agreed with Morgan. Sen. Al
fred Corbett, D-Portland, said it
gave Boeing "exclusive control
over development of this por
tion of the river." Kep. Jake
Teapot Dome."
Morgan urged the legislature
to assign the project to an In
terim committee for investiga
tion, and to defer action on
emergency legislation proposed
by the governor to bail the
Boardman project out of new
difficulties.
Boeing already has signed the
lease to use the vast tract of
land on the Columbia River in
northeastern Oregon. The lease
becomes operative as soon as
the slate acquires clear title to
the land.
Morgan said he had heard
rumors that "Boeing wants out."
But if the lease goes into ef
fect, he said, Oregon "will not
be master in its own house."
Morgan said the tax conces
sions to Boeing could cost the
state general fund money. The
lease makes the state respon
sible for taxes on the land, no
matter how high they go, he
said.
A previous arrangement for
Boeing to pay the cost of re
moving Naval facilities has been
dropped. Morgan said.
Morgan said the lease re
quires Boeing to divide with the
state any rentals from sub
tenant industries that might be
drawn to Boardman. But he said
there is "not one word requir
ing Boeing to negotiate In good
faith for sub-tenants." Under
the lease, he said, Boeing
could sub-lease to lis own as
sociates for $5 a year.
"The way is open to discrim
ination and monopoly on a very
large scale," Morgan said.
Morgan noted that Hatfield
has previously opposed give
aways to attract industry. But
he said the proposed lease put
Boeing in
a more advantageous
I position than if it had
been
I given the land outright
