Islanders Seen Winner of Race Honolulu -d'Plw A parade of boats sailed across the Dia mond Head finish line of the 1963 Transpacific Yacht Race today, but only the elapsed time and class A winners were definite. The expected fleet winner on a handicap basis still ap peared to be the Islanders, a 40-foot class D sloop owned by Thomas C. Corkett of Bal boa, Calif. However, she wasn't expected to cross the finish line until Thursday. The 72-foot ketch Ticonder oga, skippered by Robert F. Johnson of Portland, Ore., crossed the finish line early Tuesday as the vanguard of the 32 boats on the 2,225-mile run from San Pedro, Calif. However, the 64-foot cutter Orient, owned by Tom Mosely of Atherton, Calif., edged the Ticonderoga for the class A title on the basis of handicap. Stale Funds Will Reduce School Tax Grants Pass Allocation of additional state funds will re duce an anticipated jump in Grants Pass school taxes for the 1963-64 fiscal year, it was noted here at a special school board meeting Monday. Ralph E. Jones, superin tendent of City School Dis trict 7, said a previously esti mated levy of 64.2 mills will now be lowered to 55.2, an Increase of approximately 1 mill over the 1962-63 levy of 64.1. This was made possible by the allotment of $817,510 un der the new basic school sup port formula instead of the $685,700 previously expected from this source. The board voted that ap propriate corrections be made on the budget document, no tices and tax levies.

Greater Role for Sheriffs Visioned Portland - l'PI - Counties are going to become the most ! important unit of local gov-j ernment and sheriffs are go ing to have a greater role in local law enforcement, an executive director of the Na- I tional Association of Counties has predicted. Bernard F. Hillenbrand, speaker at a Tuesday session of the National Sheriffs As sociation conference here, told delegates the county is in some respects becoming "the city of tomorrow." He said that in most urban cornties the popuation of the central city is declining as business and civic leaders move to suburban commu nities. Urban services are demand ed by the suburban residents, and Hillenbrand said he be lieves the county is the logical government . unit to supply those services. But, he stressed, county government will have to un dergo some changes if it is to become the dominant local unit. Long considered a "field office of the state govern ment," it must be given more local authority to conduct its business, he said. Births CACHO-To Mr. and Mrs. Marion, P.O.

OREGON Tongue Point Use By Guard Opposed San Francisco -UPD- A spe- cial Coast Guard investigative b o a r d has recommended it against moving the Coast Guard's Alameda, Calif., train- . t . , g center to Tongue Point, Ore it" i j - .. However, final decision will be ,nade by Coasl Guard . . . ... . . , headquarters in Washington, D.C. There was no indication . iU , , - . . . , when that . decision would be made. A spokesman at the Coast Guard's 12th District head- quarters here confirmed Tues day that a special board of officers investigated the Tongue Point site near As toria May 16. The board recommended against acquisition of Tongue Point, a former naval base, primarily because it would be too expensive, the spokes man said. Tongue Point was also found to be "too big" and the general layout "awk ward," according to the spokesman. in addition, the board said the Coast Guard could get more for its money by im proving the facilities at Ala meda rather than purchasing the longue Point property. Demurrer Filed In Freeman Case Salcm-IUPII-A demurrer to the appeal of convicted child slayer Jeannace June Free man was filed Tuesday in Marion County Circuit Court. Ihe demurrer questions if there is sufficient legal evi dence to warrant a post-conviction trial of the murder case. It was filed by Assist ant Ally. Gen. Collis Mars- ters. Miss Freeman had been scheduled to become the first woman to die in Oregon's gas chamber, but her Aug. 1 ex ecution date was stayed when her attorneys filed the post conviction suit. If Marion County Circut Judge George Jones sustains the demurrer the post-convic tion case would be dismissed. Should the demurrer i,e turned down, arguments on the post conviction appeal would be heard later. Post-conviction proceedings were instituted in Oregon to provide a hearing for con victs who claim they haven't been given a fair trial or that their legal rights have been abused.
