The Thornton Ponders Taking Coroner Case To Court Salem -IUPB- Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton said late Tuesday he had not de cided yet whether to take the Lane county coroner case to the Oregon Supreme Court. A three-judge panel ruled that the coroner position will not be on the November bal lot. The verdict upheld Lane County District Attorney Wil liam Frye. Thornton sought to compel the county clerk to enter the coroner post on the general election ballot. "This is a matter of the con flict between two laws passed by the 1959 Legislature," Thornton said. "It is an ex ceedingly close legal question and could well have gone either way." "Under the circumstances, I wish to review the matter once again with the attorneys handling the case and with the secretary of state before making any decision as to further progress in the mat ter." Appling Pleased Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. said he was pleased the court has made a decision which would "sal vage the medical examiner system . . ." The last legisla ture passed a bill calling for the medical examiner system to replace the coroner system. The court test resulted when doubt was raised as to effec tive date of the new law. Appling said ". . . we pre dicted publicly weeks ago the court would rule the way it did." Appling also was critical of Thornton and of his Novem ' ber rival, State Sen. Monroe Sweetland, who, sponsored the medical examiner bill. He said the bill was "garbled." Union Rejects Both Candidates San Francisco (UPI) Both Sen. John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard M. Nixon were rejected as pres idential candidates Tuesday by the International Long shoremen's and Warehouse men's Union. The action was taken by the executive board of the inde pendent union, which is head ed by Harry Bridges, whose citizenship the government tried unsuccessfully to revoke on the ground that he was a Communist. In the last election he was i registered Republican. "In reviewing the records of both major presidential candidates, we find both lack ing in any desire for a pro gram for bringing an end to the cold war, which drains our resources and keeps us under the threat of . nuclear "A vote for either is a vote against a positive program for peace and progress. We reject both." CLOGSTON'S Weather Stripping and Screens tiNnulM Gladly Phon SP 1-1014 Evenino till ftfeiC- MfS4 .i, " .

Police found that notice clipped beneath the wind shield of an automobile park ed in downtown Washington. On the other side of the paper was a note of apology to the car's owner - "circum stances were urgent that I get to Washington in a hurry. I had just enough money for gas - not a train." The note continued that the car thief used only the best gasoline and didn't speed, then added: "I'm sorry again, but you shouldn't leave the keys."

Bernard Finch was called back to the witness stand to day to answer additional ques tions about the gunshot slay ing of his socialite wife. Finch, 43, and Carole Tre goff, his 23-year-old mistress, are on trial for the second time on a charge of murdering his wife Barbara, 33, July 18, 1959. Their first trial ended in a hung jury. Although both Finch and Carole already took their scheduled turns to testify pre viously, Finch returned Tues day to undergo redirect ex amination and cross-examination to clear up some points. After co-prosecutor Joseph Powers wrote on a blackboard 10 offenses in addition to mur der which he claimed Finch committed - such as assault, battery, etc. - Finch's attor ney. Grant Cooper had his turn. Was Finch ever prosecuted on any of the offenses Powers listed, Cooper wanted to know. No, said Finch, Cooper then erased all the charges from the blackboard. Said Powers sarcastically, "let the record show the coun sel has now wiped the slate clean." ,'it at Vy 5 f MULT I BARK A load of Multt Bark goes a long way and is Tf NOT expensive.

(UPI Tclcphoto) Oregon Counties Group Suggests License Proposal Salem -WPH- The urban af fairs and home rule committee of the Association of Oregon Counties Tuesday passed a resolution to authorize coun ties to license businesses in unincorporated areas.

This would include plan ning for domestic water sup ply and distribution systems.

Girdle Not Bulwark Against Inflation New York - It's a mistake to expect a girdle to be a bulwark against the figure's creeping inflation, warns the head of a firm that makes the garments. Walter Stein, president of Perma-Lift, doesn't advocate an end to girdle-wearing, how ever. He suggests one day a week sans girdle - but only if that day is spent in keeping the figure in good shape on its own. "Taking a weekly breath er," he said, "gives a woman a chance to reflect realistically upon her natural assets and liabilities. A self-improvement day like this can go a long way toward helping shape the American woman's figure."
