Mark Hat field Friday vetoed three bills, including one to permit singing in taverns.' He said passage of legisla tion to allow singing in tav erns 'would be discriminat ing, potentially disturbance creating and offensive to some patrons." Hatfield also vetoed a bill which would have extended the racing season in Oregon from six to 11 months. He said "legislation which may contribute to the" multiplica tion of racing facilities out of proportion to the state's present population is not in the best interests of the peo ple." The third bill he vetoed would have made the state liable for damages caused by changes in road grades by the state highway commis sion. Claimants under the bill would have been permitted to sue the state. He said this would open the door to a rash, of law suits against Oregon and would require the highway commission to pay from state highway funds for the effect of grade changes along coun ty roads being built with fed eral aid money. - EASY udohtc AUTOMATIC WASHER Ym mm tfsM...sm steps wit these years-ahead' EASY futures: Exelushrt EASY SplrcUtx 2 Wash sad 2 Split Speeds 3 Cycls Selections 3 Wish Witsr Temperatures 2 Mas Wstsr Tsnperttures Vtrtsbls load Size Selector Hew Tip-Top Fitter BUY NOW-Set both the EASY Automatic Washer and free gift . .
