V May "Be Asked to leatii f ennaDty Vowrs mi Regional Edition Medford Page 2A Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 10, 18B3 0oS1181litf66 n evises apportionment Salem IUPH The proposed new constitullon that passed the House Monday was given a different reapportionment plan Thursday by the Senate Committee on Constitutional Revision. Its Immediate effect would be to benefit Eastern Oregon. The Senate committee also made several other changes. That means if the constitu. lion gets the two-thirds vote It needs to pass, the Senate, It will have to go back to the House, and perhaps to a con ference committee, to resolve differences. The House-passed document contained Oregon's present apportionment plan. Sen. Anthony Yturrl (R-On-lario) sponsored the replace ment that was approved 6-3 :: FAMILY of 5 ;' 12 Pieces Chicken 1 ; : f 1 1 Pt. Coleslaw - I V i Girlie Bread . I V ?" y n iii by the Senate committee Both plans are based on population. . Effect Noted But under Oregon's present population pattern, the effect of the Yturri plan would be a slight gain in strength for Eastern Oregon. Yturri said it would be equivalent to add ing a 10 per cent land factor. Population shifts in future decades could, however, re move the Eastern Oregon advantage. Yturri said under his plan the maximum possible dis proportion is not any greater than under the present plan. Sen. Don Willner (D-Port-land) disagreed and said the differences in voter strength could be greater. Yturri predicted his plan would gain votes in the Sen ate and the House would ac cept It. The committee order ed specific language drafted. The Yturri plan would make the sizes of the house and Senate flexible, removing the problem of what to do when eligible districts under the present formula fail to add up to 30 and 60, as hap pened two years ago. Would Keep Fractions It wduld keep 1-30 and 1-60 of the population, however, to use In . determining eligible districts as nearly as possible on a population basis. Deter mination on a pure popula tion basis is impossible as long as districts follow coun ty boundary lines. It would honor all major fractions. A major fraction is leftover population in a dis trict adding up to more than half the requirement for a legislator. " And, it would prohibit Counties with at least one sen ator and representative from combining minor fractions leftover population worth less than half the rcquirmcnt for a legislator In order to share a legislator. Other Changes The last probably would be most significant for Eastern Oregon, where counties still could pool populations to qualify for a first legislator without losing any represent tatlon for minor fractions. . The senate committee also made these changes in the House-passed document: -Deleted the anti-lottery section and voted to put it in the laws instead. -Restored language of the present constitution on pro tection against double jeo pardy. -Excluded county judges and justices of the peace from the requirement that judges of the states courts be at torneys. -Restored the present me thod of electing judges to fill an end-of-term vacancy. -Deleted the word "uni form" from a section on resi dence qualifications for votes. The committee set another meeting for Tuesday evening. Community College Clampdown Hinted Salem (UPU A calmpdown on state-aided community col lege expansion was indicated Thursday' by the Ways and Means Education subcommittee. The committee indicated, however, It might soften slightly a bill that would put a two-year moratorium on new community colleges. The legislators indicated they might permit the crea tion of new community col lege districts and programs without slate aid. The group is considering a community college budget calling for $3.6 million In state aid for operation of exist ing community colleges and $2.1 million for construction.

The move was separate from Senate committee con sideration of the proposed new constitution. Changes Penalty The action came in amend ments to Senate approved measures which would change the constitutional penalty for first degree murder to life im prisonment, and by law re quire anyone convicted of first degree murder to serve IS years before becoming eligible for parole. The proposed constitutional change would be voted upon at the general election in the fall of 1964; The committee action rep resented a major departure from the Senate approved measures as it would allow the legislature to set the pen ally for murder by law. Thus, a future legislature could re instate capital punishment. Voters Could Decide The action was designed to give voters an opportunity to decide the death penalty ques tion after they vote on the proposed new state constitu tion, which retains the death penalty. The new constitution, al ready approved by the House, would be voted upon in the lae primary if it clears the legislature. Meanwhile, the Senate Com mittee on Constitutional Re vision indicated it may try to put the death penalty question on the same May, 1964, ballot. The House committee also made major changes in the Senate-approved penalties for murder. The new proposal seta life in prison as the penalty for both first and second degree murder. The 15-year minimum sentence was thrown out, and prisoners could become eli gible for parole after serving seven yars, as at present. Lifetime Parole A person convicted of first degree murder would be under lifetime parole super vision after release, while a person convicted of second de gree murder could be dis charged from parole. Attempts to maintain capi tal punishment in cases of po lice killing, murdering kid nap victims, or committing murder while serving a sen tence for first degree murder, were rejected by the commit tee. Committee members felt that penalties should be cre ated by statute. 1,900 Degrees Will Be Conferred at OSU Corvallls-More than 1,900 degrees, including a record number of advanced degrees will be conferred June 2 at the 94th annual commence ment program of Oregon State university.

"There is no good reason for not having it (a local birth control program) except for the minority opinion of the Roman Catholic church," said Sen. Alvin C. Weingand (D Santa Barbara), v Wcingand's measure, a res olution, went down to an em phatic defeat Thursday after more than two hours of testi mony before the six Protes tants and one Roman Cath olic on the Senate public health and safety committee. In general the opposition arguments said that "artifi cial limitation of the race" violated natural law and that widespread distribution of birth control information would encourage "illicit rela tionships."
