' The voucher, dated Sept. 12, 1017. was made out to C. T. Smith of Washougal, Wash., and waa to be signed by him and returned as soon sa possi ble. For reasons unknown, Smith never got around to mailing it. The voucher was sent to Smith in payment of services furnished to "H. B. Fletcher and party," apparently high way surveyors. Smith trans ported the group "from Cas cade Lockea to Wyeth," some five miles up the Columbia river. Four tripa were made in August, 1917, at $2 per trip. In returning the voucher, the anonymous aender at Mo- sler enclosed It in an old self addressed brown envelope with printing directed to Her bert Nunn, state highway en gineer, Room 303, State house, Salem. Nunn took office April 10, 1917. He was the first state highway engineer of the new ly formed State Highway de partment. State highway com missioners then serving, and who assumed office Feb. 28, 1917, were S. Benson, Port land, chairman; W. L. Thomp son, Pendleton, and E. J. Ad ams, Eugene. The past due voucher will remain in the highway depart ment's library at an antique item. enough to form a decisive fac tor. Sunday's voting was marred by a series of early morning bombs. Nine policemen and a fireman were injured. The election could have im portant bearing or, Italy's fu ture role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Common Market. Alliance With Socialists Following a aeries of Chris tian Democratic governments formed with center and right wing support, Fanfani last year established a coalition with the Republicans and So cial Democrats. To secure additional sup port, Fanfani made an alii ance with Pletro Nenni's So cialists which have had close ties with the Communists in the past. The Socialists have enabled the coalition to stay in power with their strong support in Parliament The price the government has paid so far for Socialist support has been nationaliza tion of electricity, a contro versial issue. Nenni's Socialists favor con tinued Italian membership in NATO, but they want the country to take a more "neu tralist" attitude.

Washington -fllPli- A Marine officer discharged from the service on charges of slaying a suspected Cuban spy it among Medal of Honor win ners invited to a White House ceremony Thursday. The officer, former Capt Arthur J. Jackson, said Sun day night that he intends to attend the ceremony. Jackson is now a mailman at San Jose, Calif. He said he and his wife will leave from Travis Air Force Base, Calif., Tuesday with 22 other Medal of Honor winners from California. He declined comment on the Cu ban spy killing incident. "When they (the Depart ment of Defense) get ready for me to talk, I'll say some thing," he said. About 250 of the 294 living Medal of Honor winners were expected to attend the recep tion, arranged some time ago. Jackson was one of four Marine officers dismissed from the service because of the 1961 incident involving a Cuban employed at Guan tanamo Naval Base. One of the four, former Lt. William A. Szili, told news men Saturday that Jackson shot the Cuban in self-defense. Szlli said he helped Jackson dispose of the body. Szili said the Cuban was a Castro agent who was discov ered prowling around a re stricted powder magazine. He said he and Jackson sought to turn the prisoner over to the base police. The police de clined to take him, Szlli said, and told Szili and Jackson to take the Cuban to the gate and release him. The gate was jammed by a defective latch, Szili said, and he went to get a sledge hammer to open it. While he was gone, according to Szili, the Cuban attacked Jackson, who fired in self-defense. Szili taid the body fell over a cliff and he and Jackaon decided to tay nothing be cause of possible internation al complications.
