His aides also declined to
comment.

Oregon Fast Time, Billboard Measure
Defeated; Veterans' Loans Approved

Portland-K I'li-Here is how
Oregon voted on the six
top ballot measures, with
2.352 precincts reporting
out of 2.900.

ing a revised constitution;
voter qualification amend
ment; compulsory retirement

tice offices; financing im
provements in home rule
counties; and continuity of
government in enemy attack.
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.
Measure 12 sets up machi
nery for relocation of local
and state government head
quarters in case an enemy at
tack destroys existing facili
ties. Many other states had
similar measures on their
ballots, and Oregon voters
over whelmingly approved
this state's proposal.

legislature to fix the terms of

2 Hatfieid Congratulates
Kennedy for Victory I
erase any doubt as to succes
sion to the governorship,
since the Senate President Is
next in line.
By approving No. 5 the vot
ers empowered the legislature
to submit to the people a re
vised State Constitution
either In one package or in
the form of several proposals.
Gov. Mark Hatfield would
have liked to see Measure 10
defeated. It provides that the
legislature can declare vacant
the office of any state officer
who is elected to another of
fice. The legislature approved
this law after Hatfield suc
ceeded to the governorship in
1958 and appointed his own
successor as secretary of
state, instead of the outgoing
governor, Democrat Robert
Holmes.
