Patterson
Backs Basic
School Fund
PORTLAND IB Gov. Paul
Patterson said Tuesday he will iiot
nsk the next Legislature to aban
don or curtail the basic school
support Jund nor any other pro
gram approved by the voters or
the Legislature.
Speaking at the Portland Retail
Trade Bureau dinner, where he
shared the platform with U.S.
Scn.-elcct Richard L. Neuberger,
Patterson said these cuts had been
suggested as a possible solution to
the st-ite's financial nroblemr.
"Other Ulan to effect economies
wherever 1 possible," the state
"should not drop, suspend or alter
anything taken on through the vote
ot the people or the people's rep
resentatives." Patterson said.
He gave no bint as to what tax
suggestions he might make to the
Leslslsture. soylnir only, "I've no
ticed that the people of this stale
never fail to pay the bill If they've
had a chance to pass on the meas
ure."
Neuberger, in his talk, called for
Immediate appointment of fed
eral district Judge to fill a vacancy
created by the promotion of Judge
James Alger Fee to the sin circuit
Court of Appeals eight months ago.
"It seems to me urgent that an
appointee be named to fill this
vacancy because the docket has
required the presence ot visiting
jurists in recent months," he said.
Speaking in a lighter vein, Neu--bcrger
indicated he thought most
of his audience had supported Re
publican Sen. Guy Cordon In the
recent election.
"I saw some people here that
I thought voted for me. But now
that they have cleared off the
tables and left, I don't know
whether anyone here voted for
me," he said.
