Portland - WD - The stale
board of health, wondering
how it will set up a medical
examiner system to replace
the coroner system in Oregon
with only $10,000, decided
Thursday to try to bring a
forensic pathologist to the
stale to help out.
The $10,000 was the amount
given by the state emergency
board. The health board dis
agreed with the Legislature
that the program would not
involve much cost until 1961.
The board had asked for
S57.000.
Tie-ins Approved
Members did agree with
suggestions that tie-ins of the
program be made with the
Medical School's laboratories
here.
The new law charges the
health board with supervision
of the medical examiner sys
tem under which a state ex
aminer would supervise and
train a statewide system of
medical examiners who
would be district health of-

ficers. The examiner would

oner as at present. Multno

The board emphasized its
intention of trying to provide
the best possible system. The
forsenic pathologist would ad
vise the board on next steps
and help educate the public.
Disagrees on Cost Schedule
Board members disagreed
with Slate Sen. Walter Pear
son (D-Portland) who said
"there was never a thought
on the part of anyone that
this program would involve
much cost until the effective
date in 1961."
Dr. Forrest Rieke. vice
president of the board, said
the present system was ar
chaic "and is not uncovering
deaths and their causes."
Richard Wilcox, slate health
officer, said it had been hoped
a qualified medical examiner
could be on the job by July.
He said that by next Jan. 1
there would be 21 counties
without coroners.

Dynamite Blast
Tillamook (UPD - The Tilla
mook County Court today
offered a $5,000 reward for
apprehension of persons re
sponsible for an early-morning
dynamite blast which dam
aged the home and car of
Beale Dixon, manager of the
Tillamook County Creamery
Association.
There were no injuries.
The blast, which occurred
about 2:30 a.m. Thursday,
made a hole nearly three feet
in diameter and about a foot
deep just off the driveway be
side the Dixon family car.
The side of the car was
dented, windows were broken
and hubcaps were blown off.
The explosion also knocked
out a window of the Dixon
home.
Local citizens also were
adding to the reward money.
Dixon said he did not think
the blast had any connection
with labor trouble at the
creamery plant last year.
"Our union situation here has
been fine since the settlement
of last year's strike," he said.
He said he had no idea who
might be responsible.

Action Taken To
Assure Oregon of
Sufficient Gas
S.ilcm - TPli - Action was'
taken Thursday by Public!
Utility Commissioner Jonel
C. Hill lo insure that Ore
gon's share of Canadian nat
ural gas will be imported over
the projected line of Pacific
Gas Transmission Company
across central Oregon.
Hill made two exceptions to
a recent federal power com
mission examiner's report
favoring construction of the
line from Kingsgale. B.C..
across Idaho, Washington and
Oregon to California.
His main objection is the
"apparent omission by the
examiner of a reservation of
SO million cubic feet of gas
per day for Oregon users."
The gas which would be
transported by Pacific Gas
for El Paso Natural Gas Com
pany could be sent over El
Paso's system to any market
it served, he said, and Oregon
might be left without suffi
cient gas unless the reserva
tion is included in FPC ap
proval. Cost Allocation
Hill's other exception was
to the manner in which the
cost of the gas would be allo
cated to users. The companies
had agreed that the cost would
be on the basis of demand
miles. However. Hill said the PUC
reasons that El Paso should
he charged on the basis of
demand-miles plus commodity
miles, which might result in
lower ultimate rales to Bend
and me Klamath Basin - pro
posed principal Oregon users
on (he line's route.
PGT should bear a greater
cost, too, he added.
Hill predicted that If the
FPC makes its final ruling on
the basis of correcting the ex
ceptions, Oregon will be as
sured of "sufficient gas for
the next five years at reason
able rates to customers.

A SUCCESSFUL AUTHOR has one worry that readers
seldom stop to consider: what docs he do when a man
pops out of nowhere with exactly the same name he has in
vented for a character in
his new novel? His plight
is particularly embarras
sing if the character is a
scoundrel.
Mark Twain once se
lected a name for one of
his villians he believed to
be utterly safe. It was
"Colonel Horace P.
Whlmplefeather." The
day after the story ap
peared a very much alive,
very angry character
flamed Horace P. Whim-
plcfeather burst into
Twain's office with a horsewhip and chased the author down
the street, challenging him to a duel!
"My wooden lea; hM been giving me a lot of pain lately,"
sighed a famous writer at the Overseas Press club. "How could
a wooden leg give you pain?" asked Norman Cousins. "It's my
wife's fault," the writer explained. "She hit me over the head
with It."
