Spud, Onion Prices Climb PORTLAND i.fi Dry onion and potato prices climbed to the high est level ot tile season at the Port land produce market Thursday. Dealers said the advance in po tato prices was due to Midwestern and Kastorn producers being un able to ship them because of weather. As a result. Pacific Northwest stocks are being used to meet most of the demand. Adverse weather also is blamed for the increase in onion prices. Trade sources Indicate that usu ally at this time most of Oregon's needs come from Texas, but wet weather Uiere has limited the out put. Oregon slocks may not be enough to handle the future de mand, trade sources said. Death Order Is Questioned SAI.F.M ii Oregon's Gov. Rob ert D. Holmes is under temporary court order not to commute the death sentence of Billy Junior Nunn. 28. Klamath Falls, but his legal adviser questions the order's validity. The governor, due back late Thursday, said in Colorado Springs Wednesday he'd have no comment until after consulting with his ad viser, Arval Thompson. Announcement t h j t Circuit Judge II. K. Hanna had issued a temporary restrrjner at Medford was made Wednesday. It was based on an equity complaint filed by Mr. and Mis. John Eacret of Klamath Falls, whose 14-year-old son. Alvin, was slain by Nunn two years ago. They complained that Holmes is widely known to have personal scruples against capital punish ment, has twice commuted death sentences in little more than a year in office, and has said he is going to consider Nunn's case. Nunn is scheduled to die in the gas chamber March 18. Thompson, in questioning the re straining order, said Oregon law provides that "a person can be sued only in the county where he lives or can bo served. 1 don t lrn..u hn..- (I...- .on, ,11 ...H .........

School Budget (Continued From Page One) Gralapp cited the crow ded school conditions along with the continu ally rising enrollments when stress ing the immediate need for the Ponderosa Junior High. One six room unit of the school is already completed at an approximate cost of $150,000, and Gralapp estimates that completion of the building to 100,000 square fool size would cost slightly more than an addi- tional one million dollars. He asked the boards to give full consideration to the possible meth ods of financing the school expan sion programs. For example, he pointed out, if the unit were to be completed over a four-year period the annual elementary district se rial levy would have to bo raised to $250,000. The present $120,000 annual serial levy is nearing its completion date. Gralapp also suggested the pos sibility of bonding as a means of completing the project in the least number of years and then retiring the cost over a longer period. He also cited the fact that the im pending reorganization of school districts within Oregon might act as a legal barrier to the bonding ability of the existing districts. The school district attorneys were asked to study the issue with budg et and board members and the administration. In other matters the boards took no definite action on whether or not to continue making available $1,000 annually from each school district to finance work being done by the city-county joint planning commission. During the past two years each of the three school districts in the county has contributed $1,000, and the city and county governments have each contributed $3,000 to the planning commission work. The to tal amount has been matched from a federal level, making the budget of Ihe planning group approximate ly $18.0110 annually. Board Chairman Jack Linman maintained that the joint planning group is doing excellent work, but that the method of financing is, in effect, forcing a planning com mission on the general public with out the public having a voice in the matter. Linman contends that the issue should be put on the vot ing ballot, along with the required levy to finance the operation, and thereby give the people an oppor tunity to vote on whether or not a planning commission is desired. Planners John Howard and Lloyd Anderson outlined the work which has been done by Ihe joint plan ning group, and stressed the value to be had from continuing the work. Howard pointed out that dur ing the past two years those work ing with the planning study have been completing surveys and as sembling statistics from which in telligent and valuable planning rec ommendations can be made in the near future. They pointed to the need for continuing the work. Definite action was not taken on the matter. In another Wednesday evening topic, it was pointed out to t h e board members that the school buses are critically overcrowded during their daily runs, and that at least one additional bus is need ed within the joint school system. The request was taken under ad visement. Oregon Weather Western Oregon Partly cloudy through early Friday and mostly cloudy Friday afternoon. Isolated showers today with snow Hurries in mountains.

The hearing opened at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday in the circuit courtrooms of the Lake County Courthouse. It was brought out at the hear ing that negotiations had been made by Beaver State with tne Rural Electrification Administra tion to borrow $1,197,000 of which $606,000 would be cash to be paid to West Coast with issuance of 129,000 shares of common stock of $10 par value. The balance of the money was to be spent in addi tions, extensions and improve ments. Net plant value of the Lake view division properties is $980. 211.93, according to exhibits dated December 31, 1957. Beaver State is a subsidiary cor poration, formed for the purpose of supplying a first mortgage to REA in order to borrow the money at a two per cent interest rate. A first mortgage could not be pro vided by the West Coast Telephone Company because of outstanding indebtedness in the form of bonds. The trust indenture of the West Coast company permitted forma tion of this subsidiary corporation in order to take advantage of the cheaper money. West Coast was represented by L. Gray Beck, vice president and general manager of the company from Everett, Washington. Appear ing for Beaver State were John G. Lilienthal of Everett, president of the company, and Edwin L. Graham, company attorney from Portland. A sizable delegation from the north end of Lake County was pres ent at the hearing as well as T. R. Conn. Lakeview attorney, w h o ap peared for the Lake County Cham ber of Commerce and Forrest E. Cooper, also a local attorney, who appeared on his own behalf. Jewel Corum of Silver Lake, a Lake County commissioner, testi fied as a witness for the Lake County group. Local criticism was not directed toward borrowing mon ey for expansion of services, but toward the use to which the money would be put. It was pointed out that the plans do not call for ex pansion of services in local areas which are presently without tele phone service, such as Silver Lake and Fort Rock. Forty two projects were set forth in the company's summary but none included those north Lake County communities. Testimony showed that in t h e 1920 s there was telephone serv ice in the northern part of the coun ty, using a metallic service. After acquisition by West Coast, the two wires were taken out, leaving only a ground circuit.
