Training Mission The plane had taken off on a training mission from the Portland base and the pilot had radioed that he was hav ing trouble with the landing gear and was going to fly around for a while and burn up fuel before making an emergency landing. Witnesses said that some of the 104 "Mighty Mouse" rock ets exploded after the plane crashed but a public informa tion officer at the base said the rockets could not explode. He said they would burn but there was no danger of shrap nel. The aircraft cut a 150-yard swath through trees" before coming to rest beside the house. The house was unoc cupied at the time. There was some wall and roof damage to the house. One witness said the plane "seemed to blow up and come straight in."

This reorganiz ation would be subject to veto by the Legislature. He was also keen for a con stitutional convention to re write Oregon's lengthy con stitution - a measure also fav ored by Gov-Elect Hatfield. He reiterated his feeling that the board of control should be abolished and re placed by a department of in stitutions t hat would run Ore gon institutions. Its head would be a ppointed by the governor. More funds were needed for health education and wel fare he said. The governor noted that his suggested budget would use up the state's 30 million dol aar surplus, other tax funds collected this biennium in steaed of next and, allowing for normal growth factors, might place the state in the positiion of needing more than 70 million dollars in new rev enue to run the state from 1961 to 63. But he defended his Spar tan budget "in order to keep faith with the voter's expres siion at the polls." Holmes also asked for "whatever is necessary" from the Legislature to make Ore gon's Centennial celebration a success. "With between 6 and 10 million visitors coming to Ore gon during this historic year, it is of paramount importance that we provide whatever is necessary to make the Cen tennial worthy of our history, heritage and our potential for the future," he said.

A spokesman for a major, oil company said the market was "fluctuating" with gas selling at 28.9 at a "majority of stations."
