Order For Electric
Typewriters Causes
Stir In Salem
By ANN H. PEARSON
United Press International
Salem - (UPD - Another elec
trical device was sending a
shock through the legislature
as the 1863 session Saturdiy
ended Its seventh week.
Last week It was a speaker
system. This week, it was an
electric typewriter or rath
er 45 of them ordered for
use of house and senate em
ployees at a cost of $19,206.
Republican Shirley Field
late Friday termed the order
a "colossal blunder" on the
part of the Democratic leg
islative leadership.
As she spoke, the Ways and
Means committee already had
moved earlier in' the day to
ward off blows expected over
the typewriter order.
The committee ordered Its
fiscal officer to study the or
der and report back.
The budget cutting com
mittee has been eliminating
such modern equipment from
state agency budget requests.
"We may be accused of act
ing at cross purposes," Rep.
Stafford Hansell told other
Slight Earthquake
Felt In Portland
Portland - (DTD - A slight
earthquake was felt In the
Portland area at 8:30 a.m.
Saturday, but no damage was
reported.
Dr. Peter Dehlinger, Ore

land was not felt over a wide
area.
committee members, "for the
legislature using different
equipment than we are allow
ing."
House Speaker Clarence
Barton called the order an
economy move. He said the
old typwrlters required a full
time repair man. The new
ones, he said, would go to
state agenoies after the session.
Miss Field said an exces
sive sum was paid for the
machines. She said Barton ex
ceeded his authority.
She added she has been
told many of the secretaries
do not even know how to use
electric typewriters.
There was some progress
on serious matters during the
week.
Thoughts of Senate and
House Tax committee mem
bers began to jell on how to
meet the state's revenue prob
lem. The Informal outlines of
their concensus Indicated
more Incomes taxes, a ciga
rette tax, and some minor
revenue measures, but noth
ing drastic. .
Members of the two com
mittees have been meeting
together at times in an ef
fort to avoid an Impasse be
tween the two houses later
on. Barton and Senate' Pres
ident Ben Musa predicted
their cooperation would
shave weeks off the length
of the session. Musa pegged
it at 120 days for a mid-May
adjournment.
The House and Senate com
mittees on constitutional re
vision completed policy de
cisions on most of the first
section of a proposed new con
stitution.

Lower Telephone
Rates Within
State Proposed
Salem - (UPD - A plan for
lower long distance rates on
telephone calls made within
Oregon between 9 p.m. and
4:30 a.m. has been filed here.
Pacific Northwest Bell filed
the plan with the Public Utili
ty Commissioner Friday.
The Oregon plan corre
sponds to a national plan for
lower rates on night calls re
cently requested of American
Telephone and Telegraph Co.
by the Federal Communica
tions Commission.
Pacific Northwest Bell is a
subsidiary of AT & T.
T. E. Bolgcr, general mana
ger for the Oregon area, said
the instate plan, to be effect
ive about April 1, would mean
reductions of from 9 to 45
cents on station calls. The
lower rates would apply on
station calls between points
at least 01 air miles apart.
Sample Changes
A night station call from
Portland to Eugene would
drop from 60 to 50 cents for
three minutes. A call from
Portland to Ontario would
drop from $1 to 70 cents.
The telephone company also
filed minor revisions in day
and night person - to - person
long distance charges in Oregon.
The company said the ad
justments would mean small
decreases for some persons
and increases for others.

United Press International
Salem (UPD Spectators
sat breathlessly silent as two
parents of children who had
been molested pleaded for en
actment of tougher sex of
fense laws.
The testimony came during
the first public hearing Fri
day by the House Judiciary
committee on a 5-bill package
of sex offender laws. Five
hundred people were on hand
when the session began, and
more than 100 remained five
hours later when the session
was recessed until March 12.
More than 30 witnesses op
pcared. Mrs. John Gaugher, Port
land, told the committee a
man who molested her 6-year-old
daughter and the 10-year-old
daughter of a neighbor
was still free. She said the
attacker, 60, had admitted his
crime, but was free on bail.
"Why?", she asked.
James Montgomery, a mem
ber of the Portland YMCA
board, told of his 10-year-old
daughter being molested. He
recited how he tried in vain
for three years to get the
man convicted.
Montgomery also told the
shocked audience that he had
been molested at the age of
12.
He explained he lived in
a thinly populated rural area,
and was afraid to mention
the incident to his father, and
"had no neighbors to talk
to."
In a sometimes halting
voice he related how the ex
perience did not excite his
emotions at the time, but as
he grew older and his emo
tions matured he began to
feel his normal urges were
immoral.
"I had an unbalanced eval
uation of sex," he said. "I
didn't know if I was wrong
or that childhood experience
was wrong."
He pleaded for enactment
of the five sex bills, espe
daily the controversial civil
commitment measure.
Portland Attorney Jonathan
Newman presented the Amer
ican Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) argument against the
civil commitment bill.
He said the measure, HB
1129, would allow civil com
mitment under a process not
tolerated in criminal law. He
said the bill was of doubtful
constitutionality.
He stressed that a person
is entitled to the safeguards
provided by criminal statutes.
He said the bill did not call
for findings of fact before
commitment could occur.
Multnomah County District
Attorney George Van Hoom
issen said he supported all
five bills, but warned they
would not solve the problem.
He termed the civil commit
ment bill "most modest," and
recommended the wording of
the proposal be simplified.
Van Hoomissen said "no
other area of mental illness
is less understood than the
definition of what is a sex
deviate."
He said non-violent moles
tation of children did not
leave a lasting impression on
the child, and advised there
were known "treatment or
cures" for the sex deviate.
He warned it is nearly im
possible to clinically isolate
a sex deviate, and said devi
ates are mostly under-sexed
persons, with the exception
of rapists.
Frustration of witnesses
who complained at the lack
of convictions under present
laws was dumped on Van
iHoomissen's shoulders.
One after another mothers
and representatives of church
and social groups paraded to
the witness table and urged
the committee to adopt the
bills.
The bills give jurisdiction
in sex cases to circuit courts,
raise penalties in specific
cases, set penalties for "peep
ing toms," eliminate county
court jurisdiction in judicial
matters, and provide lor civ.
il commitment and treatment
of persons adjudged to be
sexually dangerous."
Committee Chairman
Berkeley Lent (D-Portland)
said he had received hun
dreds of requests to testify.
At Friday's hearing petitions
with nearly 5,000 names were
submitted urging support of
the bills.
