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.

some five years, according to L.

"In final form, we will have for
the first time an Oregon district
consisting of six divisions. Reck
aid. "With our Oregon district
headquarters in Beaverton. we will
have an integrated, state wide Ore
gon unit. It will give Oregon more
autonomy and authority in our
three-state system which will re
sult in closer ties within the com
pany and between management
and our subscribers than has been
possible heretofore in Oregon."
The Lakeview and La Grande
districts became divisions of the
Beaverton district on January 1
and October 1. 1957. respectively.

PORTLAND AP' Only one In
dictment remains of the 117 re
turned by grand juries
probed Multnomah County's
tangled vice situation three years
ago.
On Tuesday two indictments
were dismissed against former
Dist. Atty. William Langley He
was accused in them of conspir
ing to receive a bribe.
The indictments were similar to
that dropped recently against for
mer Seattle cardroom operator
Joseph P. McLaughlin. That case
was dismissed after the principal
prosecution witnesses Portland
gambler Big .Jim Elkins and his
employe, Raymond F. Clark re
fused to testify.
Klkins and Clark are appealing
their federal wire tap convictions
to the .Ninth U S. Circuit Court of
Appeals and they said at the Mc
Laughlin trial that any testimony
they might give could damage
their appeal.
Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton,
who is prosecuting the vice cases.
said that without Klkins and
Clark the state would not be able
to prove its case against Langley.

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. But Gardner Knapp. member of
the Salem School Board, said the
matter should be left up to the
state Board of Education.
The present law is 170 days,
but the Board of Education is in
creasing it to 175.
