TVia rnmmittees discussed the problem their toughest at a meeting inursaay ana promptly deadlocked on how to approach It. The deadlock raised some key questions. - The Constitutional Revision Commission, which wrote the rfminunt Mild the (overnor should be given power to run all the state's administrative agencies through direct lines of authority. In turn, he unnlH htvn clear cut reDsonsi bllity for what the agencies do. . The committees have decld ed . informally they could "never sell" a new constitu tion with only one elective officer. Several members said they preferred the single or ficer. but would vote for mul tlple officers to make the doc ument more palatable to the legislature and the puDiic. Two Others Mow , The present century old constitution also make a sec retary of state and a treas urer elective. In addition, Or egon now elects an attorney general and a labor commit ' sloner, but these are provided for in the laws, not the con stitution. The legislative committees indicated they may provide for as many as three elective officers, although not neces sarily the same as the pres ent ones. One might be a secretary of state, perhaps running in tandem with the governor. One might be the controller called for in the commis sion's proposal to conduct post - audits and act as a watchdog; FOLDING CHAIRS For RENT at A to ZRix.il 1211 N. RlvtnUe 771-1474 The committees reached their Impasse Thursday on whether to consider the num ber of elective officers first or the functions they will perform. The Impasse is expected to be resolved, but It highlighted these problems: If the committees decide on more elective officers, they could still leave one or both of these posts without any spe cific functions, leaving the governor as the "responsible" officer in charge of executive agencies. Or, the committee could strip away some of the gov ernor's departments and as sign their functions to . the other officers, weakening the concept of a responsible and accountable governor and an efficient single executive branch. Faced Without Choice In short, the committees are faced with a choice between setting up "figurehead" posts in order to keep the gover nor strong at. d accountable, or dividing up the executive in order to give additional elec tive officers genuine func tions. A controller could be an exception, since his watching duties would be separate from the administration of atate government. The committees voted for a policy of government reorgan ization, grouping more than 100 present agencies, commis sions and boards into a maxi mum of 20 departments with heads appointed by the execu tive (or executives) and con- Foreign Briefs JORDAN PREMIER SEEKS DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS Amman, Jordan-dJrD-Samlr Rifai, Jordan's new premier, said Thursday his first task will be io repair this kingdom's Millions with neighboring Arab stales. He said he would seek renewal of diplomatic relations with the United Arab Republic as an opening step In this program.

OUTLAWED RHODESIAN LEADER TO STAND TRIAL Dar es Salaam, Tanganylka-WPD-Joshua Nkomo, leader of the outlawed Zimbabwe African peoples union (ZAPU) in Southern Rhodesia, arrived here Thursday on his war home to stand trial for alleged security offenses. Nkoma planned to talk with Tanganylkan leaders here. He was returning from trips io London and the United Nations headquarters in New York. The African leader re peated a warning that Southern Rhodesia is on the brink of armed racial conflict. POPE JOHN TO ISSUE ENCYCLICAL Vatican Clty-fllPD-Pope John XXIII will issue an en cyclical during Holy Week, Vatican sources said today. They said it probably will deal with peace but possibly oould concentrate en two other subjects occuplng the Pope's attention Catholic liturgy or ecclesiastical vocations. Holy Week begins April 7 and ends the following Sunday, Easter. firmed by the Senate. Since the intent of reorgan ization, however, was to strengthen the governor's hand, the decision is meaning' less until the committees decide what to do about addi tional elective officers.

BEST ALL-AROUND COMPACT ANYBODY HAS CONE UP WITH YET! DICK KNIGHT CO. 33 S. Riverside, Medford, Oregon Bill To Outlaw Evidence for Conviction Aired. Salem - IUPD - Radar was praised by many witnesses as an lndlspensible aid to halt fast driving and denounced by a former state policeman as a "speed trap" Thursday. The House Highway Com mittee heard the conflicting views in a hearing on bill that would outlaw use of ra dar evidence for conviction of traffic violators. The former state policeman is Rep. Philip D. Lang (D- Portland), who also is chief sponsor of the bill. In terming radar a speed trap he said he was not convinced its use would further the cause of traffic safety. But Lang appeared alone In his view. Backward Step Warne Nunn, legislative as sistant to the governor, said abandoning radar would be a backward step that would de prive enforcement agencies of "one of their most modern and efficient tools." Holly V. Holcomb, deputy superintendent of state, po lice, said it was safer to use radar than to have police cars chase speeding vehicles : to clock them with speedom eter readings. "I d rather see you out law speedometer clocking than radar," he said. The state has 12 radar sites. They are used mostly for "se lective enforcement," in areas where special problems develop. Lt. James C. Darby said It was possible for motorists to build "jamming" devices, and to install equipment in their cars which would indicate a radar device was in the area. The committee took no ac tion on the bill. Other Highlights Judges - The Senate Judi ciary committee approved a bill to create a 20th judicial district of Washington coun ty, with two circuit judges, leaving the rest of the 19th district with two judges in stead of three. Labor -The House Labor committee voted to Introduce a bill to have employees, as well as employers, contribute to the unemployment compen sation fund. It would be ac companied by an increase in benefits. Education - The House Ed ucation committee killed a bill to move higher education headquarters to Salem. Brown's Bond Plan Declared Illegal Sacramento-rtlPD - Gov. Ed mund G. Brown's plan to help finance the California water project with a new bond is sue did not seem as plausible today as it did last week. The reason' was Thursday's opinion from the legislature's legal adviser, which said, in effect, that the proposed $325 million bond issue was illegal. Brown, when Informed of the new opinion, called it "in teresting," but noted that the state attorney general and lawyers for the state depart ment of water resouces had already declared the bond plan "legally sound." In any case, the entire mat ter will be tested in the courts. B. Abbott Goldberg, chief deputy director for the water resources department, said that the "validation suit" would probably be com pleted within one year.
