Officials Keeping Watchful Eye on Turkey Disease Portland (U.R) State agri cultural officials are fearful that the pneumonia-like disease, psit tacosis, which has hit two north ern Oregon turkey flocks may be spread along both sides of the Columbia river by migra tory waterfowl. J. F. Short, Oregon director of agriculture, has taken emer gency measures aimed at pre venting the spread of the dis ease which has infected turkey flocks at Sauvies island and at Scappoose and also contributed to the death of two persons. Dr. E. M. Dickinson, chief of the Oregon State College veter inary school, said Saturday that his department is "very much concerned" over the possibility of further outbreaks. "We are grateful, however, that the in fected flocks are isolated from the great bulk of Oregon's tur key population," Dr. Dickenson said. , Embargo Ordered State of Washington officials have slapped an embargo on all turkey eggs and poults from the state of Oregon. Washington officials have demanded that de struction of the entire flocks where the outbreak of the dis ease was found as the price for lifting the embargo. Oregon authorities have balk ed at the idea of destroying the entire flocks, saying that it would amount to taking away 12 months income from the growers. "They are foundation birds for breeding stock and not for market. The 6000 birds in volved in the Scappoose area are not just ordinary turkeys," Short said.

Thornton. Purpose of the bill would be to "create the office of lieutenant governor," accerding to the title. "Qualifications shall be the same as for governor," the title continues, "with duties assigned by law or by governor. Lieu tenant governor shall preside over the Senate and may suc ceed to vacancy created in office of governor." The initiative measure would create -the office by amending article five of the Oregon Con stitution and would make the lieutenant governor rather than the president of the Senate first in line to succeed the governor in case of vacancy. A key arid controversial fea ture of the bill would be that the lieutenant governor would preside over the state Senate with the right to cast a tie-breaking vote except upon final pas sage of bills and joint resolu tions.
