if-rfw 1 -I Third Section READY FOR WINTER - Daniel Brewer, 61, has learned not to be caught short when sentenced to jail. After pleading guilty to being drunk - for the eighth time - Brewer asked Kalamazoo, Mich., Municipal Judge Clark M. Olmstead that he be given 90 days.

Brewer then pulled out 39 packages of smoking tobacco, 24 packages of chewing tobacco, 8 boxes of snuff, matches, two pipes and soap. Why the soap? He said the jail's type irritated his skin.

(UPI Telephoto) Oregon Republican Women Complain Of Being By-Passed Portland (DPD - Oregon's Democratic vice chairman said Wednesday Republican women are complaining be cause they are being ignored in gubernatorial appoint ments. A spokesman for Gov. Mark Hatfield in Salem la beled the claim "ridiculous." State Rep. Beulah Hand said "every time the governor appoints or considers women for major appointments he goes to the Democratic party. For instance, he replaced Ce celia Galey, Republican, with Emily Logan, Democrat, on the Unemployment Compen sation Commission." Candidal By-Passed Mrs. Hand added, "the governor with much fanfare went to the press announcing that Democratic Senator Jean Lewis would be a fine Mult nomah county Circuit Court judge and that he would ap point her to a vacancy - if possible. Now he by-passes avowed woman candidate. Re publican Representative Shir ley Field, for state treasurer." Travis Cross, the gover nor's secretary, replied that "if Republican women have any complaints, they don't go to her (Mrs. Hand)." He said the governor's office did not "know for sure in all cases" whether Democratic or Re publican women were being appointed because "we don't keep a record of that." He said in some instances laws require appointments to be along divisional party lines. Party Division Unknown Fifty-six women have been named to boards or commis sions by Hatfield so far but Cross said he didn't know how many were Republicans or how many were Demo crats. Mrs. Hand . concluded her statement by saying, "surely the Republican party isn t so impoverished for competent female talent in the political field that the governor can't find one Republican woman of stature to appoint. We Democrats should be flattered by his recognition of Demo crats' capabilities but some how his gestures remind one of the 'beware of Greeks bear ing gifts' quotation." Articles Drafted For Newspaper Portland - flJPD - James T. Marr, executive secretary of the Oregon AFL-CIO, said Wednesday articles of incor poration have been drafted for a proposed third news paper in Portland.

Portland's two present dai lies, the Oregon Journal and Oregonian, have been publish ing a joint edition since a strike by Stereotypers last Nov. 10. Marr said the drive for a new paper was "gathering momentum" and that he hoped to have firm commit ments for newsprint and print ing facilities by the end of this week.
