Wl Day-old quadruplet sisters, under 24-hour watch by hospital nurses to guard the spark of life in their tiny bodies, sported names in rhyme Saturday. Peter Meier, their father, had said he wanted to get over the "shock" of the sudden acquisi tion of four more children be fore he chose names. But his wife, Josephine, 32, talked to him Friday night and they have agreed the children would be Charlene, Marlene, Arlene and Jolene. The girls, weighing from 2 pounds 12 ounces to 3 pounds, 5V2 ounces at birth were placed in incubators in the small hos pital here. At first they were paired in two incubators, then were transferred to individual quarters. Chances Only Fair Dr. R. E. Hankins, who said their chances for survival were "only fair," ordered the constant watch on the children. A hos pital attendant said early Satur day they were "holding their own." One of the girls, however, the "weakest" at birth, remained weaker than her three sisters, the attendant said. She did not, how ever, know which one it was by name. X-rays taken by Hankins sev Increase Recorded In State Visitors Salem HP Oregon has had a 92 per cent increase in num ber of out-of-state visitors dur ing the past ten years, accord ing to figures released Saturday by William M. Tugman of Reeds port, chairman of the Advisory Committee of the state's tour ist promotion agency. Tourists increased from 1,839, 000 in 1948 to 3,539,000 in 1957. Total number of visitors this year established a record for the industry in Oregon. "In contrast to the Oregon system, which counts only out-of-state can staying here three days or longer," Tugman said. "Some states projeet their to tal on the basis of all out-of-state vehicles, even those stay ing one day, whether or not they carry tourists. They make no distinction between business and pleasure travel. "Still others regularly include in their annual figures the trav el within their states by their own people," he concluded.

Hawkins Friday dis missed the testimony of Kathleen Lucille Weeks in the Maloney vice conspiracy trial here and or dered the jury to disregard her remarks. The woman had been called ai a defense witness to tell of an affidavit she signed in". the presence of Defense Attorney Howard Lonergan, Mayor Terry Schrunk, County Detective George Minielly, and a court re porter. Mrs. Weeks repudiated the affidavit, asserting that she had been frightened into signing it by threats that she would be committed to an institution as a narcotics addict. In the affi davit she told how she was shown that tape recordings could be altered. Thomas E. Maloney of Seattle and Spokane is on trial on a charge of conspiring to profit from gambling in Multnomah county. State's attorney John D. Nich ols protested that Mrs. Weeks' testimony was irrelevant to the Maloney case and Judge Hawk ins told the jury it should dis regard her remarks in connec tion with affidavit. Minielly, Schrunk and Lone gran had all been indicted for conspiracy to commit subordin ation of perjury in connection with the Weeks affidavit. The charges were subsequently drop ped by the state on grounds there was not enough evidence to try the cases. The Maloney trial goes into its sixth week Monday. It was in recess Friday.
