Walter Norblad's right to file for reelec tion to his seat in Congress has been challenged on legal grounds by State Rep. Richard E. Groe ner, Milwaukie Democrat. Groener asked Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton to rule on the legality of Norblad's re ceiving a $100 refund when he switched from the governor's race to the congressional race. Norblad paid the $100 when he filed for governor Feb. 28. On March 6, he received a re fund when he withdrew and then pid the $100 on his representa tive filing. Groener asked Thornton to rule on whether the secretary of state has the right to grant refunds or to transfer a fee from one filing to another. Although they were not men tioned by Groener, William Healy of Salem and Nicholas Granet of Portland could also be affected by the attorney gen eral's decision. Healy switched from U.S. rep resentative to secretary of state and Granet switched from Demo cratic state-at-large convention delegate from the third congres sional district. Prices on Potatoes May Be Low Again I Washington (U.R) The Agri culture pepartment warned pro ducers of late season potatoes yesterday that prices may be low again this year unless they reduce acreage by an additional 5 per cent. Late potatoes are grown in Maine, Idaho and 27 other states. The department recently sug gested an 8 per cent reduction in late potato acreage this year. Farmers indicated in a survey early this month, however, that they planned a cutback of only 2.8 per cent from 1959 levels. The survey indicated a "sub stantial" surplus over the 275, 000,000 bushels needed to meet the demand for late potatoes, the department said. Production over the 275,000, 000 bushels figure "generally re sults in difficult marketing con ditions and unsatisfactory farm prices," officials said. 60 Cases of Flu Reported Last Week More cases of influenza were reported in Jackson county dur ing the week ending March 31 than any other communicable disease, according to Dr. A.

The phone call was received by Southwest Airways in San Francisco. The woman hung up after she blurted out the warn ing. Airport authorities notified TWA here as it had the only scheduled Flight 46.
