Defeated District 55 Hep
Jack Sumner last week won
his lawsuit charging Demo
cratic rival Chuck Bennett
with making false campaign
statements. 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

The daily base charge needed lo break even for nursing home
care was estimated at $29.41. 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. The committee would also be
charged with meeting periodically with the hospital board to
