(UPI Telephoto) Sharing of Vision In California Seen As Forward Sacramento ' - (UPI) - D r Nancy Cross, a Menlo Park consulting chemist, believes that the Slate of California should see through two eyes those of women and men. If this were done, she told an Assembly committee, it 'might prevent money-wasting second looks. Dr. Cross, whose middle name ia Jewell, appeared be fore the Assembly Elections and Reapportionment Com mittee to present her views on how California should be operated. She proposed two constitu tional amendments, each with the same general purpose - to get more women in office. Single Primary Ballot Under one of her plans, members of the Senate and Assembly would be the wom en and she listed women first and the men polling the high est numbers of votes in their districts. That would mean two senators from each dis trict. Dr. Cross also would like Young GOPsTo Hear Dellenback Ashland - John Dellenback, candidate for state representa tive from Jackson county; will speak at the Young Republi cans meeting here Friday at 7:30. p.m. The meeting, at Raoul Mad dox's home, 96 Scenic dr., will include the ratification of the by-laws and a discussion of future projects by the Jack son county group. Any interested persons be tween the ages of 18 and 40 have been invited to join the club, according to Mrs. Lloyd Bishop, president. . Although the Young Repub licans group has been organ ized for several years, a new group of officers and admin istrators have taken over, thus requiring ratification of the by-laws, according to a club- spokesman. A Republican group for students under 18 has been suggested and may be formed in the future, he added. Bandon Boys Held On Theft Charges Porlland-IUPD-Portland po lice had two 15-year-old Ban don youths in custody Wed nesday night after they ad mitted to a S600 burglary in Bandon last week. , Police said since then, the two teen-agers have been "living high" in Portland and have already spent nearly half of the money. The youths registered at a downtown hotel and a clerk, suspicious because of their ages, called police. A search of their room dis closed $325 in currency and coin, and a .22 caliber pistol was found in one boy's pos session. Police said each youth ad mitted spending about $100 " inct the burglary, Step to see a single primary ballot for all candidates and she wants the people to be able to decide how to cast their vote by seeing pictures of the candidates. Frankly, it appears that this would give the women a slight edge, but her proposal was that -fit least, six weeks before , elections the state should distribute a pamphlet containing a statement and a two-inch picture of the candi date. She also would make a couple of technical changes in the way California's 40 senators and 80 assemblymen are picked. Her proposal is to make the Senate districts conform with congressional district ' and have Assembly districts double that number. Compared to Eyes Assembly George A. Will son (D - Huntington Park) questioned Dr. Cross - she insists it's doctor, not miss -about her plan, which he said "appears to remove competi tion between members of the opposite sex." "We need both," she re torted. "Right now 41 per cent of our population is white men and they hold 99 per cent of the offices." "It's a matter of sharing responsibility for vision and thus giving a good perspective of any given situation. But, she said, if one eye goes out you no longer get a perspective and that's what is happening in government now without equal representation from women.

This is the broad concept behind a study now in final preparation for the state of California to support its bid for the shipment of Columbia river kilowatts far outside the' present boundaries of the Bonneville power marketing area. California wants North west energy because it is cheaper than the kilowatts it can generate in fuel-fired gen erating plants, and it will need Medford SECTION B MEDFORD, Honesty Returns Profit for Finder Salem, N.H,-IUPII-Jim Stack, a Manchester Union Leader reporter, returned a lost $100 bill to its owner Wednesday and came away with $169 in return.

Istanbul (UPI) Defense Min ister Fahri Ozdilek Wednes day announced the retirement of 235 generals. Ozdilek said the retirements were carried out with the aim of having a "young"' army.- He said those retired included himself and the commander-in-chief of the army general staff, Gen.

The California idea coin cides with the negotiations now underway between the United States and Canada for building big power dams in British Columbia that would jointly benefit the two na tions. Could Proceed "Canada could proceed at an early date with the con struction of Columbia river hydroelectric storage and gen erating facilities on the basis that the power and energy from such construction, tem porarily surplus to its needs, could be sold to California subject to withdrawal upon reasonable notice," says the preliminary report made for California by H. Zinder & Associates' Manager Sol. E. Schultz, ex - Bonneville en gineer. Schultz notes that construc tion of Arrow Lakes dam in B.C. on the Columbia would increase the primary energy output of downstream Ameri can dams by some 1.4 million kilowatts, to be split between the two countries. "A number of years will elapse before such a large quantity of energy will be re quired to serve Canadian OREGON, THURSDAY,.

Every loaf is an grown-ups and loads," he reported in support of his argument for shipping it south to California. In the Colorado river sys tem, the report observes that the new Glen Canyon dam in the upper Colorado project will have to be filled with water at the expense of reduc ing the normal power output of Hoover Dam down stream. "At the same time, power will be gping to waste in the Northwest by reason of water spillage," Schullz noted. But if the two regions were interconnected with big trans mission lines, he said "sub stantial amounts of additional prime power could be de veloped through the interplay of storage at the Glen Canyon and Hoover Dams and the use of summer hydroelectric en ergy from the Northwest. Five million acre feet of stor age at Glen Canyon and Hoov er Dam effectively coordinat ed with the Pacific Northwest summer secondary energy could produce approximately 400,000 kilowatts of prime power. This operation would be conditioned on the premise that the higher consumptive uses of water would not be interfered with. The addition of a high Bridge Canyon Dam would raise that total to 800, 000 KW."

The Democratic party plat form, adopted at Los Angeles, envisions giant regional pow er systems which one platform drafter interpreted to mean that energy would be de veloped at its cheapest source and transmitted long distances to load centers - a concept which supports the California hope for getting Northwest power. This idea has gained fresh ; currency since a group of , Senators and staff members ! of the Senate Interior Com- mittee visited Russia last fall ' and marveled ai the Soviets' advancements in build i n g huge hydro power stations in remote areas and transmitting the power hundreds of miles by new techniques. Others remain skeptical, if not fearful, of any such Idea because of the possibility of the Pacific Northwest being unable to shut the door once it has been opened to adjacent regions. California insists that it would use Columbia river power only so long as it is surplus to Oregon and Wash ington slate requirements. Its officials say they would sup port legislative safeguards to this effect. But some Oregonians are fearful that California, with its overwhelming superiority of numbers in Congress, could simply outvote Northwest con gressmen if it came to a test. They fear that once federal transmission lines are extend ed into California and the Rockies from (he Columbia river, it will ' be extremely difficult to throw the switch and leave those lines standing idle when there is a continu ing demand for power from the faraway centers of popula tion and political power such as Los Angeles.

Jackson (D Wash.) who will likely be chairman of the Senate recla mation subcommittee when Congress reorganizes in Janu ary.
