Starts TO DINE AND DANCE-THE Portland Newsmen Summoned Before ultnomah Jury Portland (U.R A Circuit i Court order late Friday delayed the effectiveness of subpoenas against three Portland news papermen summoned to testify in a Multnomah county grand jury investigation of vice and corruption charges. Three newsmen from the Ore gonian were subpoenaed by Dis trict Attorney William Langley Friday morning and were or dered to appear before the grand jury at 2 p.m. to tell what they know about gambling and vice in Portland. v Subpoenas Challenged The newspaper's attorney, David Fain, challenged the sub poenas on the grounds that Langley should not be conduct ing the grand jury probe because his office had been mentioned in a series of expose articles. Fain told the court that Attorney Laglie May Decide Future Next Week Olympia (U.R) The biggest unanswered question in Wash ington state politics what will Gov. Arthur B. Langlie's future be may be answered within the next week. In reply to questions of news men at Olympia, Langlie said he "hopes to have the decisoin set tled within a week." The gov ernor declined to hint what the decision might be. One possibility is an an nouncement that he will yield to Republican pressure that he seek the U. S. Senate seat held by Democrat Warren G. Magnu son. In addition, Langlie is con sidered a possible successor to Douglas McKay, the resigned Interior secretary, and has not completely shut the door on run ning for a fourth term as gover nor.

Thornton had said earlier that it would be in- appropriate for Langley to con duct the investigation. Newsmen subpoenaed by Langley were Wallace Turner and William Lambert, authors of the crime series, and Herbert Lundy, editor of the Oregonian editorial page. Lundy charged that "sub poenaing staff members of the Oregonian by L a n g 1 e y is an obvious attempt by the district attorney to stifle publication of information gained through the Oregonian's investigation which would be embarrassing to Lang ley." The newspaper's Saturday edition carried another article of the crime series purporting to link Langley's name with gamb ling figures. Expand Investigation Meanwhile, Gov. Elmo Smith directed Oregon state police to expand its investigation of vice into Multnomah county. State Police Superintendent H. G. Maison said he would take charge of the probe himself. Gov. Smith told state police to go to work "with all the investi gative resources available to them for the purpose of conduct ing a complete investigation of newspaper charges that public officials were involved in crim inal activity." Smith observed that it w a s equally important to find out if unjustified charges had been made. He said "the innocent should not be damaged by un substantiated charges. It is more important to be right than to be hasty."
