Apparently defeated was a measure permitting prosecu tion by information, or writ ten charge, as an alternate to the grand jury system. Billboards Hot Issue A vigorous advertising cam paign by opponents of the billboard control measure mainly billboard and tourist industry officials apparent ently had the desired effect. The measure, hottest on the ballot was losing when the first tally was made. The Ore gon Council of Outdoor Ad vertising, which fought the measure, issued a statement .here saying it intended to seek "additional controls to strengthen the existing out door advertising act through logical channels in the 1961 session of the legislature." The Council regarded the bal lot measure, placed by initia tive petition, as a "bad bill." Daylight saving time veteran to the Oregon ballot lost as a crush of rural re turns came in early today. It was on the ballot in 19S4 and was defeated by more than 47,000 votes. Bonds Approved Two measures not guaran teed to pass but did were bonds for higher education, No. 6, and the veterans' loan amendment. The .State Sys tem of Higher Education had its fingers crossed over No. 6 and now will be able to issue bonds tor construction of such needed facilities as dor mitories on Oregon campuses. The buildings will go up on a pay-as-you-go basis. The Stale Veterans' Affairs Department had been worried about the vet bonding propo sal. A similar measure failed in 1958 by a whopping 86, 439 votes. In approving measure No. 7, Oregon will allow new residents in the state to waive the six-month residency re quirement and vote for Presi dent in the next election.
