Four Legislative
Plans Discussed
For Constitution
Salem-WPD-The House and
Senate Committees on Consti
tutional Revision concluded
testimony Tuesday on four
legislative reapportionment
plans.
The committees are seeking
to work out an apportionment
plan for a new state constitu
tion. Oregon's present plan pro
vides for handing out legisla
tive seats on a basis of popu
lation. Districts take in one
or more counties. Each district
gets one senator for each 130
of the state's population and
a representative for each
160, or for a major fraction.
In practice, this is not al
ways workable since sizes of
the houses are fixed at 30
and 60 members. It cannot,
however, vary more than 3-1.
Flexibility Eyed
The latest proposal, and the
one the- committees seem
likeliest to adopt, is the Han
sell plan. It would retain the
basic features of the present
plan with one major excep
tion: Sizes of the houses
would be flexible.
Rep. Stafford Hansell (R
Hermiston) said his plan, like
the present one, could not
vary by more than 3-1 in
relative voter , strength, but
others said the variance could
be wider.
Two ' other plans would
move even closer to the "one
man, one vote" principle than
Oregon is now,,
The plan proposed by the
Constitutional Revision Com
mission would do away with
the necessity of drawing all
districts along county boun
dary lines, making it easier
to shape districts so that there
would be the same number
of voters per legislator.
It would permit a variance
in voter strength no greater
than 2-1.
The Bi-Partisan League to
Retain Euqal Representation
would go even further, tight
ening up the criteria for dis
tricts so that one voter's
strength could not exceed
another's by more than 1-10.
Other Highlights
Veterans' Loans: The Sen
ate Military Affairs Commit
tee approved a bill to expand
eliglblity for loans to all vet
erans residing in Oregon.
National Guard: A measure
to permit appointment of a
second assistant adjutant gen
eral for the state's Military
Department was approved by
the Senate Military Affairs
Committee.
OMSI: A bill designed to
"phase out" state aid for the
Oregon Museum of Science
and Industry passed the Sen
ate and went to the governor.
It provides $20,000 for the
first year of the 1963-65 bien
nlurrf and $15,000 the second
year.
Hospital: Rep. Beulah Hand
(D-Milwaukie) termed a pro
posed budget cut for the State
Hospital as "inhumane". She
said the hospital was oper
ated with 74 fewer staff mem
bers than authorized by the
1961. legislature.

At Told to UPI
Whitehorse, Yukon - IUPD -
This was my first accident and
I've flown about 450 hours in
about 12 years. '
It must have .been meant
to happen.
But I m glad it s all over,
and some day I hope to write
a book about it all.
I kept a diary for some of
the time, but then stopped.
I'm going back to my plane
to get it before going home
to California, and I will write
a book about my experiences.
How did it happen?
It was bad weather and
heavy fog.
We were following a course
which was to take us to Fort
St. John (British Columbia).
Suddenly we ran into the
bad weather and fog. I lost
contact with my radio beam
and I didn't know our direc
tion. Everything was happening
at once. ' -. N
I dropped from 7,000 feet
to 3,000 feet to try and get
below the fog to get my bear
ings. I was also trying to get
back in contact with the radio
beam.

On Blackwell Hill
Heavy damage resulted to

A car driven by Louis Gor

Signs Advertise
Ashland Region
Ashland - Signs advertising
the Ashland area and a road
side park have been proposed
by the tourist and recreation
committee ' of the Ashland
Chamber of Commerce as
ways of diverting tourist
traffic off the Interstate 5
freeway and into Ashland.
The proposals were an
nounced to the chamber of
commerce membership in a
committee report at Tuesday's
chamber meeting here.
The committee suggested
that one sign be erected in
California south of Weed to
gain the attention of travelers
who might otherwise elect to
take Highway 97 through
Klamath Falls instead of
Highway 99.
A second Sign could be
erected somewhere near the
Siskiyou summit, and a third
just before motorists reach the
south Ashland interchange.
The committee also sug-1
gested establishing a roadside
park near the freeway with a
map posted there showing the
scenic points of interest in the
area and possibly a bulletin
board with a calendar of
events.
Suggested as a theme for
Ashland to be used on the
signs was "Gateway to the
Rogue River Valley."

THE 63 RAMBLERS:
Motor Trend Magazine's auto experts never handle the
"Car of the Year" with kid gloves.
"We want to make sure the car is worthy of the title in
performance, dependability, buyer satisfaction," they said.
They found that Rambler's Advanced Unit Construction
is "so strong it'll take punishment longer . . . hold its resale
value." They slammed Ramblers over back-country roads
and reported, "rough roads can be stormed with confidence
. . . there isn't any pitch or choppiness noticeable."
They applauded Rambler's styling, "lean, clean lines"
. . . and Rambler's outstanding quality.
Of course, there were many other things they liked. They
summed it up, "an even better value than before."
