Series of Pools The plan called for a series of pools at the northwest cor ner of Hawthorne park which would use water pumped from Bear creek.

Ballots are burned after the vote, White smoke- indl cales a new Pope has been elected. (UPI) .School Support I Check Received 4 Cardinals foif tq Elect Pope After Taking Four Votes Vatican Cily -lUfli- The Sa cred College o f Cardinals failed on four ballots today to elect a successor lo Pope John XXIII. The cardinals met twlce- once this morning and again this afternoon in the Sistine Chapel to choose the 262nd pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Each time they took two ballots, and each time the re sult was negative-no pope. After each set of two bal lots, a stream of black smoke spiralcd up from the tradi tional chimney atop the Sis- tine Chapel. This meant that the 80 cardinals present had been unable to cast a two- thirds majority for one of their number to become the new pontiff. Speculation already was mounting that, since no clear favorite had emerged In the four ballotings, a "compro mise" pope now may come out of the conclave. But, at best, this could be ,oniy speculation, for no one knew wnat went on In secret behind the scalcd-off doors and walls of the conclave chamber. The 80 princes of the church-the largest group ever to participate In a papal election-were called to mass at 12:96 a.m. PDT prior to the voting. Although in theory any Ro man Catholic man of reason able age can be elected, tra dition of the last four cen turies pointed to an Italian cardinal getting the nod.

START OPERATIONS Salem - (DPI) Seven new Oregon industries started op erations last month, Gov. Mark Hatfield reported today. Hatfield and Goldwater Talk Politics By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Corrttpondant Washington (Special) Ore gon's Gov. Mark Hatfield talked presidential politics Tuesday with Sen. Barry Goldwater, the darling of the conservative wing of the Re publican party, and expressed doubts about the political future of New York's Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, the lib eral hopeful. Hatfield said he admires Goldwater but doesn't agree with him on many Issues. He agrees more with Rockefeller on issues, but has misgivings about public reaction to the New Yorker's personal life. Although Goldwstcr's stock is rising as a contender for the COP presidential nomina tion next year, Hatfield said: "I think the race is wide open." Hatfield believes that Rockefeller has seriously damaged his prospects by hit recent remarriage to a di vorcee after the governor s 4 " divorce from his own 32-ycar-old wife. The Oregon governor said It is evident from his own mail that there is a ground swell of moral Indignation running against Rockefeller. He said women, especially, hold strong critical views about the Rockefeller di vorce, but that his mail in cludes protest letters from men as well. Rockefeller and Hatfield have often been linked politi cally as a possible GOP team in the 1964 presidential elec tion. But Hatfield is Inclined to think the presidential nomi nation will go to a dark horse candidate. The youthful governor flew from Salem to Washing ton Monday to lunch with President Kennedy and seven other governors at the White House Tuesday to discuss civil rights problems. One of his luncheon com panions was Pennsylvania's GOP Gov. William Scranton, with whom Hatfield also chatted. Scranton Monday said he would probably be a favorite son candidate next year. "I like him very much," ob served Hatfield. As for Goldwater, he said: "I am greatly Impressed with him as a man of conviction. I don't agree with him on a lot of Issues, but he Is a man of obvious sincerity. I don't think he's playing to the galleries." Ironically, Republican Hat field had never been Invited to lunch by the chief execu tive he helped elect, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, but got his first social Invitation to the executive mansion from Democrat whom he tried to defeat, - John F. Kennedy. ' "He was very gracious," said Hatfield, explaining that Kennedy took the governor on i personal tour ot the his toric mansion, Including the second story where he showed them the Lincoln Room which Is off-limits to the public. After two hours In the White House, Hatfield emerged from the front por tico with the other governors and candidly said later that it had been a thrilling experience. The only Oregon problem Hatfield mentioned during the visit was Tongue Point, the abandoned naval base near Astoria, which the gov-' ernment has proposed for auction to private interests as surplus property. He said Kennedy remarked rather wryly that Sen. Wayne Morse had made him very much aware ot Tongue Point. Hatfield conferred with Morse in the senator's office Tuesday morning to d'scuss Tongue Point and the Board man industrial site on which they hiive cooperated. He said he told Morse that the stele had notified the Boeing Co. that it was prepared to make available the lOlf.OOO seres along the Columbia River near Boardman for the com pany's future use.
