The Senate has passed and sent to the House a proposed constitutional amendment to abolish capital punishment. If it clears the House, it would go to the voters In 1964. Hatfield said, although lie still dislikes capital punish ment, he would continue to abide by the law of the stale prior to an actual vole of the people. He said he would have "no authority to postpone" an execution before the people voted. Another Factor After that, he said, if '.he voters did away with the death penalty, "it would in troduce another factor" to be considered if any requests for commutation were pending. Four persons now are un der death sentence in Oregon. Two have received postpone ments pending U.S. Supreme Court appeals. Two are still under automatic review by the Oregon Supreme Court and no execution dates are set. Other Topics Discussed The governor, at his weekly news conference, called It "a tragedy" that the Senate last week rejected his "implied consent" bill that would have given drunken driver suspects a choice between taking chemical tests or losing their licenses. He said the Senate "left the door open to the drunken driver." The governor expressed disappointment over House rejection of his key cigarette tax bill and said he is now waiting to see what alterna tive the lawmakers come up with. Signs Encouraging The govenor said he is en couraged by recent signs his proposal for a natural re sources department may gel somewhere. He said, however, "I ant not counting any bills until they are actually wet with my signature." The governor predicted once the state is finally able to turn the Boardman indus trial site over to the Boeing Co. as planned, "we will find action on the pari of Boeing." Boeing has agreed to lease the site when the state ac quires it, but has declined specifying any plans for its use at present. W I Lafl aaE?07r?!"

Eldon Jenne said the other schools have physical educa tion to some extent, but not on a daily basis. "For the past few years," he said, "the stress has been on brains but we must not for get we need vehicles lo carry the brains around.'' Jenne cited school systems such as Medford. Eugene.
