Proxy Vote to Be
Honored by House
Minority Leader
: Salem - (UP1) - Rep. Sidney
Leiken (D-Roscburg) was as
sured a proxy vote if neces
sary, House Minority Leader
F. F. Montgomery (R-Eugcne)
has stated.
Montgomery said he told
Leiken his vote would be
honored if he was unable to
be here for the opening of
the 1063 session of the House
of Representatives Monday.
Speaker designate of the
House, Clarence Barton (D
Coquille) said Montgomery
had not agreed to allow Lci
ken's proxy vote.
, Leiken Is in Los Angeles
where he took his wife for
medical treatment. She was
scheduled for surgery Friday,
and it was not known if Lei
ken would be able to return
here in time for the opening
of the session.
Montgomery said he first
told Barton that use of the
proxy would be approved,
then called back and said he
felt he should take the matter
up with other Republicans be
fore granting approval.
"There was no intent to
make this a political Issue,"
Montgomery said, "I simply
felt I should check with other
Republicans before speaking
for them.
Should Have Vol
Barton said Thursday he
feared he might not be able
to organize the House with
out the proxy vote. Unless the
House organizes Monday and
canvasses the vote for gov
ernor, the scheduled inaugura
tion of Gov. Mark Hatfield
would have to be delayed,
Barton had stated.
Montgomery said he had
told Barton the proxy vote
would not be necessary be
cause only a simple major
ity was required to organize
the House.
House membership Is split
31-29 In favor of the Demo
crats. Without Leiken's- vote,
the Democrats would have
only a one-vote margin.

Obstacles Said Blocking Progress
Of Boardman Industrial Park Site
Portland (UPD - A series
of obstacles may delay devel
opment of Oregon's Space
Age Industrial Park program
for Boeing, the Portland Ore
gonian reported Saturday.
The story says a rash of
problems, including an at
tempt by Washington's con
gressional delegation to "put
the blocks to Oregon," may
halt Boeing's plans to start
building this month.
The 93,000-acre is schedul
ed to be built on the Board
man, Ore., bombing range.
Thursday Gov. Mark Hat
field's office reported that
Sam Mallicoat, head of state
planning and development,
was in Washington, D. C,
working on project plans.
Mallicoat later informed
the governor's office that he
didn't know of any brewing
trouble, but that he does in
tend to meet with Oregon's
congressional delegation on
Monday.
Erected Roadblocks
Gov. Hatfield said Saturday
he would have no further
comment until he has an op
portunity to study Mallicoat's
report on the Washington con
ferences which he has been
holding.
The newspaper report said
both the Navy Department
and the Army Corps of En
gineers have "erected almost
unsurmountable roadblocks in
the path that would lead the
aerospace giant Boeing into
Oregon."
The Navy is reported to
have put a price of approxi
mately $800,000 on its bomb
ing range lands In the Board

Three Area People Appear in Court
Small Worlds
Around Us
By LYNN M. WATKINS
(Register and Tribune
Syndicate, 1963)
Man and Mammal Adapt,
The Orange Tree Cannot
It's a sad and pathetic sight,
the too-late robin caught in
an early winter snowfall. The
bird registers extreme dis
comfort in every action and
feather. People, looking out
from winterized houses, see
the snow to which they are
accustomed, but view with
alarm the robin on the snowy
lawn ... the bird which is
viewed much too soon and
gives no promise of the look-ed-for
spring.
Even more pathetic Is the
catastrophe which occurs once
3n a while: an orange tree,
covered with golden fruit and
festooned with ice, frozen
solid from the biting cold of
the previous night. The orange
tree, in full fruit, is symbolic
of sunshine and warmth, an
object many people journey
hundreds of miles to see and
to photograph. Nobody nat
urally associates an orange
tree with frost; it is more an
emblem of warm tempera
tures and tropical breezes. ,
Cold Front Movee
By a provoking complexity
of air currents and sun slant,
a cold front develops in the
far north and moves cast and
south. Snow and low tempera
tures accompany It. People,
plants and animals, great and
small, accustomed to rapid
and drastic changes, take the
enveloping cold in their
stride. They may not like it
but they expect it. It occurs
every year. It is wintertime.
Occasionally, the moving
cold front bends more south
than east. It moves on; cold
and colder, sweeping relent
lessly Into what are expected
to be warm areas and even
into the very edge of the
tropics, It has invaded an area
not accustomed to low tem
peratures. The night comes,
and the temperature falls.
Everything Caught
The bird, the mammal, the
human and the orange tree
are caught. The bird, naturally
warmer blooded than other
animals, saves itself from the
cold by exercise or locates a
cavity In a tree; or finds a
spot under the eaves of a
building. The animal seeks a
burrow, nest or. den,
The man builds a fire, dons
more clothes and complains.
And rightly so, for If the cold
is severe or continued, he
stands to suffer a financial
loss. But the orange tree can
not dodge the Icy winds by
going to a warmer place or
protecting Itself in some way;
it must stand and take what
ever comes.
Drastic Measures
Man often attempts to help.
In many Instances he heaps
earth around the base of the
tree. He builds a smudge fire.
He saturates the earth around
the tree with copious amounts
of water, hoping to "absorb
the cold." Sometimes he uses
a wind machine; he may even,
at times, employ a helicopter
Lee Marie LaTorra, 38,
Robinson hotel, Mcdford, was
sentenced to three years In
the Oregon State penitentiary
Friday afternoon on a charge
of forgery.
She was found guilty by a
circuit court jury Wednesday
night. She also was sentenced
to three years in the state pen
itentiary for violation of pro
bation. Both sentences are to
run concurrently.
The case of John Arthur
Harper, 198'4 Harrison St.,
Ashland, was continued to al
low him to plead to charges
of grand larceny. He has been
released on $l,ouu Dan.
Donald Lee Scoville, 108
to fly over the grove and stir
up the air.
He takes all manner of dras
tic measures to raise the tem
perature, to keep the golden
fruit from turning to balls of
ice on the tree. The smudge
pot belches black smoke, but
the cold manages to creep in
anyhow.
The cold numbs the hands.
It creeps into and turns to ice
the sap within the stems of
tropical plants. Tomorrow the
leaves will be limp, brown
and scar.
Yes, a pathetic sight, the
robin on the snowy lawn or.
Ice crystals on an orange tree.
At such times, Nature, the
same agency that brought the
tree to glorious fruition, ap
parently abandons her sub
jects and destroys what she
so bountifully created.
South Central ave., Medford,
was placed on probation and
Imposition of sentence was
suspended for five years on a
charge of sodomy. He was di
rected to obtain the services
of a psychiatrist and be treat

deems necessary.
