Glen Stadier (D-Eu-gene) a radio station execu tive, said it was the first Ore gon legislation to enable broadcasting of public notices. He said he already has asked the Legislative Counsel committee to make an interim study and prepare a bill for Influence Peddling Measure Approved Salem -(UPD- A measure in tended to discourage legisla tors from getting jobs for friends at the state's race tracks was approved Tuesday by the senate committee on state and federal affairs. The measure is a policy statement against legislators giving endorsements for race back jobs. It says nothing about legis lators themselves working at race tracks, a- situation that sparked some heated words earlier in the session. the 1065 session to add the "permissive" clause to all state laws where public no tice is required. Historically, such notices are published in newspapers. Washington Has Law Karl J. Nestvold, Eugene, manager of the Oregon Asso ciation of Broadcasters, said "Washington state has used broadcast notice for several years, and has a provision that the state can use newspapers, radio or television to publi. cize constitutional amend ments." Neither Nestvold nor Stad. ler knew of any other state which authorized broadcast ing of legal notices. Stadier said election and similar notices can "very ben eficially" be broadcast, and suggested many people do not take the time to read "the small type" in newspaper le gal advertisements. Make Mandatory He said "at first we want to make broadcasting permis sive, and after several years may attempt to make it man datory." Stadier said the idea was first suggested at an Oregon Association of Broadcaster meeting last November. i "We tried to add .he per missive feature to several bills' . . . but had to wait for a bill that could include the feature without conflicting wifh othef statutes," he said.
