MARCH 26. 195 On Schedule ASHLAND Construction o the sew Elizabethan Theater at Ash laixl continues on schedule, even though the iuil U75.OO0 has not been reached. Of the amount needed. $242.Mft 30 has been raised y popular subscription. Festival officials report that the amount subscribed represents an emergency fund that will not cov r important finishing work. With a great influx of Centen nlal visitors anticipated, they es pecially hope to avoid limiting the theater's, unique charm by any curtailment in plans. If the full quota is not reached, completion of the new seating and landscaping may not be possible. Work on the theater has been furthered by the mild winter wea ther. June 1 has been set as the deadline for completion. The festival's former stage, con demned as hazardous by the state lira marshal, was razed following the 1958 season. Tha theater's hometown of Ash land, dramatically set the pace for the campaign. Originally as signed a quota of SiO.OOO, the Ash land volunteer workers exceeded that amount, collecting nearly $72. 000 from the population of 8800 Neighboring Medford, given a goal of II00.O00, has passed the $75. 000 mark. Direct mail from all over the world, responding to the fund-raising brochure, has accounted for $11,000 mostly in small contribu tions. Contributions are still needed to trase the $32,339 70 deficit. Pledges may be matie over a three-year period and can be addressed to Shakespeare. Ashland, Oregon.

On Tuesday two indictments were dismissed against former Dist. Atty. William Langley He was accused in them of conspir ing to receive a bribe.

O&C Counsel Scores Bill As Depriving Counties SAI.KM 'AP' The counsel for the Oregon and California coun ties said Monday mat a bill to re quire OAC funds gnen to counties be used for educa'ion would cause Congress to depme counties of the funds. Frank Sever. Portland, the O&C counsel, told the House Education Committee ol the Oregon Legisla ture that the state should not at tempt to allocate funds which are run at the federal level. Rep. Stafford Hansell iR- Athena', the lone supporter of the bill appearing at the hearing, told the committee that 94C rands are 'he same as property taxes Woman Collects For Bingo Hit PROVIDENCE. R.I. (AP Mary C. Thomas, fi2. gets $730 for an unexpected hit at a Cran ston bingo game. Mrs. Thomas was hit on the shoulder and hip by a child's rocking chair displayed atop some cartons at the game last .July 1 She sued the United Merchan nise ,xcniinge, inc. and was awarded $750 Wednesday for dam ages by Superior Court Judge t'atncK r , turran. "Some portion should be reflect ed in the county school fund." he said, "instead of all the money going to county government.' Kighteen counties receive an nual shares of the OAC money from the federal government The revenue is from timber lands orig inally given to the Oregon and California Railroad by the govern ment but reclaimed. Dr. C. I.. Huftaker. Eugene. said the rich O&C counties would benefit and the expense of the poor if the bill is passed. Hansell said the 25 per cent fig ure was reasonable ana not too large." He said the bill would require les state money in the form of the basic school equalization form ula which gives additional aid to distressed districts. Hansell said the same amount ot state equalization would be given throughout the state but that it would be shifted to other areas. "All the money from O&C funds would stay in the county." he said. "The county would receive less state money from the equali zation formula. The opponents of the hill said that it would create financial problems with county govern ments. They said that much of the O&C revenue goes Into main taining roads to transport timber from the O&C timber lands. Judge James W. Harrison of Coos County said taxes to sup port county government would in crease "and could -cause a net loss in revenue to the counties " Hansell said that the bill would mean losses in revenue from the equalization formula of $106,737 in Douglas County. $167,196 in Jack son. $280,569 in Josephine, and $127,789 in Lane County. Marion County would gain $142,621. Multnomah $106,891, and Washington $112,380. Hansen said. The committee also heard tes timony on a bill to increase th minimum length of the school year to 180 days Rep. Shirley Field 'R-Portland), a sponsor of the measure, said it is in line with the national av erage.
