Sumner's victory in Marion County Circuit Court has opened the door to a bid by the Heppner Democrat to invalidate Bennett's pri ' mary nomination, possibly November general election as well. Legal and political observ ers can only speculate on whether Sumner may be able to retain his seat in the Oregon House of Representatives, since there is no legal pre cendent for the issue. The matter would likely have to be settled in the Oregon Court of Although the Marion County jury ruled in Sumner's favor last week, the Morrow County politician did not receive as sweeping a judgement as he was seeking Sumner had filed forSMUiooin general damages and $25.(KKi punitive damages from Bennett, who defeated him during the May primary. The jury awarded only $H7 in money in punitive damages. According to the Salem Statesman-Journal, the jury deliberated for more than seven hours on 12 statements Bennett was alleged to have made before ruling ' M two of them constituted vt 'ions of election laws.

Finch estimated that at the end of the 1979 fiscal year, the daily break-even rate would rise to $31.79 per day. Tb hospital's nursing home rates have co.e under fire for being too high during recent meetings of the hospital board. Finch indicated to the board that il would make sounder financial sense to raise rates to come closer to meeting costs. Welfare agencies currently pay a maximum of less than $23 per day for nursing home residents of the hospital. Hospital administrator Bob Byrnes reported that admissions to Pioneer Memorial were down 48 per cent from a year ago, with the average rate of occupancy down from 43 ppr cent to 26 per cenl-'lhe lowest H's been in years " The audil noted that the hospital s "accounting, statistical and reporting procedures have shown considerable improvement over the prior year," and that "our review disclosed no weaknesses that we considered significant in relation to the audit of the financial statements." In other developments Tuesday, the hospital board voted to approve a grievance procedure for employes, that would include establishing a "hospital relations committee" consisting of three non-administrative employes. The committee would attempt to resolve disputes between workers and management that cannot be handled at the supervisor-employee level.
