Boyd Overhulse (D - Madras), president of the Oregon Senate, has advised his colleagues he plans to call the Senate to order at the special session of the Leg islature Oct. 28 without calling a presession caucus. Normally the Senate holds a caucus on the night before open ing of a regular session to work out organizational details. Over hulse said he was going on the assumption that he was elected for a two-year term and that he will be-the presiding officer. He suggested that when the formal session .opens senators adopt a rule restricting the ses sion to tax relief, school taxes and perhaps an appropriations for the State Emergency Board. , Unless this is done, he said, "We may be in Salem all win ter."
