Woman Overcome
By Butane Gas
Bend - (UPD - A Portland
woman, Mrs. Herman Ker
char, was overcome by fumes
from a butane camping stove
at South Twin Lake, 30 miles
south of here Saturday.
She was taken to a Bend
hospital where her condition
was not immediately known.
State police said she was
discovered in her tent by her
husband and sons after they
returned from a morning
fishing jaunt. Artificial res
piration was applied by a
state policeman who was
called.
said he was tortured twice
this spring, and once Sheriff
Tip Hunter operated the wrist
clamps.
Wrist Clamps
In Tennessee, Hunter Im
mediately denied that Wein
berger was tortured. He said
wrist clamps had to be used
to try to get Weinberger's
fingerprints. But the sheriff
said Weinberger was so "un
cooperative" that even with
the clamps they were unable
to obtain clear prints.
Weinberger charged that
the Brownsville police "used
a high-voltage electric shock
probe the type they use
to make cattle move" on
sensitive parts of his body.
"I was beaten by Deputy
Anderson and four others,
some in blue uniform, some
in plainclothes," he said.
"The wrist clamp was screw-
"My fingers were bent
back, my pants slashed
torn off and a high-voltage
electric probe applied," Wein
berger told the panel.
"During the beating I pass
ed out two or three times,
but was revived each time
by slaps so that the torture
could continue.
"On Saturday, with the
sheriff present, I was again
dragged from the cell, and
tied face down on the floor
in an adjacent cell. The wrist
cuff was applied again, plus
pliers to hold the fingers."
Weinberger, who still
leaching the sharecroppers to
make tote bags but does not
risk leaving his workshop.
said his sight was temporarily
impaired by a punch in the
eye ad the back of his hand
was partially numbed from
the clamps.

prominence as a nude calen
dar girl, enhanced her stand

glamour girl last week by
splashing in the altogether for
a swimming scene in her lat

The blonde glamour girl
stripped to the buff on orders
from George Cukor for a
swimming pool scene in
"Something's Got To Give."
Something did Marilyn's
flesh-colored swim suit.
"I had been wearing the
suit, but it concealed too
much," she said. "And it
would have looked wrong on
the screen."
Close Their Eyes
"It s the first time I've ever
worked in a movie without
any clothes on. The set was
closed, all except for mem
bers of the crew who were
very sweet. I told them to
close their eyes and turn their
backs, and I think they all
did."
Cukor, a calendar fun, said
Marilyn's figure was better
than It was at the time the
calendar was published. "She
has a beautiful body, better
than ever."

Oregon Highway Department
has announced. He heads the
Capitol guide service.
Vandeneynde, 65. has been

vember, 1953i He has shown
the Capitol to tens of thou
sands of persons.
When he first Joined the

Salem - (UPD - An employer
spokesman said Saturday that
a 3-way workmen's compen
sation bill will be introduced
in the 1963 Legislature and
there will be "no compro
mise" on guts of the proposal.
A similar plan caused one
of the hottest controversies of
the 1961 session. The heat was
so great that it - and a lot of
other legislation In the final
hours - died.
At the same time the
spokesman, Attorney Keith
Skelton of Eugene, charged
that Republican Gov. Mark
Hatfield made "a deal with
labor last year to veto two
bills if they got to his desk.
One of these was 3-way and
the other was the "Little Lan-drum-Griffin"
labor bill, Skel
ton said. Little Landrum-Grif-fin
also perished.
turn ffj Hatfield's opposition
to 3-way and Little Landrum
Griffln, labor agreed to sup
port Hatfield in the election
this year.
"Labor will now y off on
ithis" in November, Skelton
said.
Hatfield did not support the
3-way bill in 1961, but he had
his own "2-way" proposal.
This died also.
Skelton Sponsored
Last year Skelton was coun
sel for the Committee for
Competitive Workmen's Com
pensation, the wheelhorse and
, sponsor of the 3-way bill. He
said that while he wexrt be
counsel for the committee
ac;i this session, he repre-
! sents some firms "interested
in such a plan for improving
j worknjrn s compensa 1 1 o n.
and therefore will have a role
in the 1963 effort.
At present the state has all
but a monopoly in workmen's
compensation insurance,
through the Oregon Indus
trial Accident commission.
Better System
A number of Oregon em
ployers say that 3-way is the
only answer to a "better sys
tem. The three ways wouHi
let an employer insure his
workers through: (1) the state,
(2) a private carrier, or (3)
self insurance.
Opponents of 3-way say this
can be done under existing
laws, but Skelton insists it
cannot.
The 1961 legislation is now
being reviewed and modified
by the employer committee.
