The plan is called the "se cret witness" plan and has been used to solve newspaper bombings elsewhere in the nation, the papers said. Total Reward S5.000 Under the plan, persons who provide information which leads to arrests and convictions may collect from the $2,000 recently added by both newspapers. The total reward money is about $5,000. Six trucks were blown up in Oregon City and .four in Portland the night of Jan. 31. The papers listed instruc tions for any possible witness and said that the plan does not apply to the reward money other than that offered by the joint paper - but will not prevent a witness from collecting the rest of the money. Based on Code The plan is based on code numbers which a witness would place in the lower part of a written report and then tear off one of the numbers which would later be matched with the number on the re port by an agent of the witness.

Governor Urges Hunt for Killer Of Pretty Girl Manchester, N. H. -(UPD An aroused Gov. Wesley Powell today called on the state's top crime experts to find the kill er of a pretty teen-aged girl. At the same time Attorney General Louis C. Wyman warned that the killer of Sandra Valde, 18, may strike again if he remains at large. "This is murder," Wyman said after viewing Sandra's battered body which was found dumped in a deep snow bank at the side of a little used dirt road. The girl had been missing since Feb. 10. Autopsy Awaited Although Sandra was badly beaten officials withheld a de cision on the cause of death pending an autopsy. Officials said it apparently was a sex slaying. Police said they felt certain the girl was slain by someone she knew and planned to ques tion all her acquaintances in addition to checking known sex violators in the area. Police said the body, clad in a red blouse, black slacks and white socks but no shoes, was found face down in the snow. Usually Walked The body was found by Richard B. Rolfe, 19, about 10 miles from where Sandra got off a bus after attending a swimming lesson at the YWCA. She usually walked the mile from the last bus stop to her home on the out skirts of Manchester.

The ruling, filed here Dec. 4, 1959, was in favor of the union and other defendants. The Scott Co., owner of the Tri-City Herald at Kenne wick, had charged that the ITU, Columbia Basin Publish ers, Inc., owner of the rival morning Columbia Basin News at Pasco, and others conspired to drive the Her ald out of business after the Herald was struck by the ITU in 1950.

January Rainfall Nearer Normal, Bureau Reports Precipitation in January was more frequent and more nearly normal than in recent months, but reports indicate it to be the fourth successive month with below normal totals, the weather bureau said recently. A succession of minor storms produced about 75 per cent of normal January pre cipitation, but runoff was be low average, particularly in the Rogue basin, according to the bureau's river forecast center in Portland. The outlook for spring wa ter supply is little changed from last month, the bureau said, with forecasts calling for much below average runoff throughout the area. If precip itation for the rest of the sea son is equal to the maximum of record, it would not bring runoff up to average, the bu reau said.. Water Year Flow The water supply forecast as of Feb. 1 indicates a water year flow of 966,000 acre feet below the south fork of Rogue river, or 66 per cent of av erage. The residual flow, for the period from Feb. 1 through September, is fore cast as 686,000 acre feet, or 67 per cent of average. The forecast for Upper Kla math lake net inflow for the water year is 982,000 acre feet, or 67 per cent of normal, while the residual flow is forecast at 582,000 acre feet, or 61 per cent of normal. In the south central area, precipitation was normal or a little above for the first time since September, the bu reau said. Runoff expecta tions are about the same as last month and much below average. Only if precipitation for the rest of the season is equal to the maximum of rec ord, will runoff be near av erage, the weather bureau said.
