Measure Limiting
Legislative Session
Draws Skepticism
.'. Salem - IUPII - A hill intro
duced In the House today to
limit the legislative session to
90 days drew quick skepti
cism and even a few chuckles
from legislative leaders.
Several lawmakers, Includ
ing sponsors of the bill, said
they doubted the measure
would reach the floor for
action.
If it did, they added, such
a law would be ineffective,
since a special session could
be called immediately follow
ing the go days until the legis
lature's business was finished.
'Mailer of Principle
Rep. George Annala (D
Hood River) said he regarded
the bill more as a "matter of
principle."
. Annala predicted, however,
the session might end soon
after 100 days, and added he
did not think the legislature
would stick around In a wran
gle over reapportionment if
that were the only unfinished
matter.
Such a decision would
place remapping of legislative
representation in the hands
of the secretary of state.
Rep. Clarence Barton D-
Coqullle whose Ways and
Means Committee introduced
in hnriupl hills todav. said the
legislature planned to do a
thorough Job-dui aeciinea 10
make sny time predictions.
Bill on Medioid Water
Another bill introduced to
day, HR 1228, would author
ize the City of Medford to
permit use of the water in
Biff Butte creek until Med
ford decides the water is
needed by the city.
A measure sponsored by
Rep. William Gallagher (R
Portlahd) would set up an in
terim committee to draft new
laws for the care and rehabili
tation of sex offenders.
Other bills would return all
liquor fines and forfeited bail
to counties.

ilyn Monroe
Obtains Divorce

vorce from playwright Arthur
Miller in a Mexican court
Tuesday.
However, a spokesman for
Miss Monroe, 34, said earlier
this week the blonde actress
had no Immediate plans for
marriage.
The divorce was granted In

movie star flew to El Paso,

Miller on the ground of
"Incompatibility of character"
and returned to New York the

JAMES HOFFA
Clashes Verbally
(UPI Telephoto)
Hoffa Charges
'Doctoring' of
Tape Recording
Washington -IUPII- Teamsters
Union President James R.
Hoffa charged before Senate
investigators today that he be
lieves that a tape recording
allegedly linking him with a
New York racketeer was de
liberately "doctored."
Hoffa voiced the charge as
he clashed verbally again
with Chairman John L. Mc-
Clellan (D-Ark.) of the Senate
permanent subcommittee o n
investigations.
Arjariment Buqaed
According to New York po
lice, the tape recording was
obtained when they bugged
the apartment of racketeer
Antonio (Tony Ducks) Corallo
the night of June 30, 1BSB
Two teamster officials, pur
nortedlv relaying orders from
Hoffa to Corallo, quoted Hoffa
as saying:
"I don't care if you want to
steal, you want to rob, go
ahead . . . (but) don t get
caught, don't get caught."
Hnffu contended todav that
the tape was unintelligible 19
times in the passage from
which the quote was taken
and might not mean what it
appeared to mean at all.
May Have Dropped Words
The labor lender said words
might have been deliberately
dropped where it s conven
ient." Rut even If the statement
was made by the teamster of
ficial, Hoffa declared, "I still
say he's a liar!"
Hoffa vehemently protested
discussion about the tape re
cording and challenged mc
Clellnn to debate before a
group of lawyers on the use
of such evidence by a con
gressional investigating com
mittee. McClcllan snapped back:
"You gel your officers to
stop taking the fifth amend
ment when they come up here
and I'll debate you anywhere."
Close Vote Seen '
In Proposal To
Add Members
Washington - (UPlf -Some
backers of Speaker Sam Ray
burn conceded today he might
lose his battle to liberalize the
House Rules Committee, leav
ing the fate of President Ken
nedy's legislative program
partly in the hands of un
friendly conservatives.
Impartial surveys indicated
the outcome would be close
in the House vote Thursday on
Rayburn's proposal to add
three new members to the
rules committee in order to
break the domination of a con
servative GOP-Southern Dem
ocratic coalition.
Potential Threat
Supporters of rules commit
tee chairman and coalition
leader Howard W. Smith (D-
Va.) claimed enough votes to
defeat the speaker by a nar
row margin. This would be a
crushing blow to the 79-year
old Rayburn's prestige and
would pose a potential threat
to Kennedy s program.
A UPI poll indicated that
Rayburn had nailed down no
more than 37 of the 99 South
ern Democratic votes. If all
House members were present,
this would mean the Speaker
would heed at least 19 GOP
votes to go with his Northern
and Western Democratic sup
port. Keeping Hands Off
One big question mark was
whether Kennedy would take
a hand In the struggle. Ray
burn indicated after a White
House conference Tuesday crats that their prospects for banking, finance, commerce expected. The Senate Foreign for economic affairs and Civil

Welfare Chairman
Defends Board
Snlcm -IUPD- The chairman
of Oregon's Public Welfare
Commission, Joseph Harvey
Jr. of Portland, said Tuesday
that while the commission has
split on party lines now and
then, there has never been a
"full fledged argument. "
His comment followed Gov.
Mark Hatfield's statement
Monday that he would like to
see four of the seven commis
sioners resign - the four ap
pointed before Hatfield look
office.
Harvey, a Hatfield appoin
tee, said he felt the four have
"not been as responsive" to
the governor's wishes as Hat
field would like, but added
that they all have a "profound
interest and dedication to the
welfare program."
