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

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.

Life in Prison
For First Degree
Murder Proposed
Salem-OIPIl-The House Co
stilutional Revision Commit
tee voted Thursday to ask
voters to remove the death
penalty from the constitution,
and by law to set the penalty
for first degree murder at life
in prison.
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.

California Health Agencies Urged To
Go Ahead on Program of Birth Control
Sacramento -(UPU- The au
thor of a measure creating a
statewide birth control pro
gram, who saw his proposal
defeated in the legislature
Thursday, today urged local
public health agencies to go
ahead without legislative "en
couragement." "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." The testimony saw several
doctors, a superior court judge
and a Methodist minister sup
porting the birth control
plan. Two Roman Catholic

the negative vote "must have

conviction."
