Friday called the proposed power Inter tie between the Pacific North west and California the most important matter C 'gress will consider this year as far as the Northwest was concerned. In a speech before the City Club at its weekly luncheon he described the proposal argu ment over the proposal as "a life and death struggle," Duncan, former Oregon House Speaker from Medford, said that tne Bonneville Power Adminis tration has an annual operating loss of $18 million and "yet is dumping $33 million worth of water into the ocean."

The vote was taken after two days of testimony on proposed reductions for welfare state in. stitutions, and education.

Alfred Corbctt (D - Portland) should be considered or wheth er the one-shot idea should be abandoned because it might add to problems next biennium. The question of whether budg et reductions should be consid ered temporary or permanent dominated Friday's deliberations. Sen. Walter Leth (R-Salem) said It was a decision that had to be made by legislators, by state agencies. His comments came alter Chancellor Roy Lleuallen said he considered higher education's proposed cuthacks temporary. (weral legislators said tney might not go along with higher education's plan to increase en trance requirements and tuition Ices. Licuallcn said no major cuts in educational television had been planned because "we as sume this is a temporary crisis. We do not want to eliminate or cripple activities that would be hard to re-establish."

Christmas Carols OK In Beaverfon Schools After All BEAVERTON (UPI)-The su perintendent of the Beaverton School District says students will be able to sing Christmas carols as part the MUlny ob servance after Monday night, Dr liwmas Woods recommended a policy which would ban carols or other religious aspects of Christmas His three-pnrt policy, aimed at separating religious indoctrina tion from teaching about relig ion was, he said, in line with recent U.S. Supreme Court de cisions. The policy was to come be fore the full school board for a vote Dec. 2. But Friday night Woods said he has been swamped with tele phone calls from parents in the district who objected to his policy. Woods indicated the meaning of his directive was miscon strued. "We plan to maintain an ob servance of Christmas and Eas ter which will be favorable to religion, but we plan to put the stress on the music, artis tic and cultural aspects, not on the deep religious aspects of the holidays," he said. He maintained that religious instruction was the function of the home and church, not the schools.

BAKER (UPI)-A resolution supporting a state sales tax was approved by the Oregon Cattle men's Association at its 50th annual convention here Friday. of newsmen in handling trial stories, and a managing editor suggested more compliance on the part of the legal fraternity in a conference on news. cover age of the courts here Friday. Robert Notson, managing edi tor of the Orcgonian, criticized a Senate bill proposed by Sen. Wayne Morse, (D-Ore.), which Notson said would choke off the right of the public to pre-trial information. The bill would make release of any information except that on file with the court punishable by a fine of not less than $500. Notson said relatively few cases get to trial. In Multnomah County, he set the figure at 20 per cent, meaning that under the Morse bill 80 per cent of the cases would be disposed of University of Oregon Law School, said self restraint on the part of newsmen will be a ma jor factor in continuing freedom of the press.

The conference is attempting to bring out the views of both lawyers and newsmen in a ser ies of panel discussions and talks. : .
