The display earned a $25 first prize in the lawn display cate gory and a first-place plaque and a revolving trophy that goes each year to the sweepstakes winner. Johnston's "Christmas Card" ex hibit featured a line of chorus boys singing at a church door to accompaniment of an organ-play ing monk. It bore the message "Season's Greetings" in bold let tering. A nativity scene at the home of Felix Peace took second place in the lawn section. The Ed Gralian residence, with a blue-lighted Santa Claus, won first place in the roof display sec tion, and a big star at the Chuck Baxter home won second prize.

Temperatures have been run ning at a balmy SO' degrees or better during the day and in the high 30s at night.' Some high cloudiness is fore Plate System Gets Defense SALEM (AP) Gov. Mark Hatfield said Thursday that his recommendation for a permanent automobUe license plate system does not hinge upon an increase in the gasoline tax. "The permanent plate wUI re sult in administrative savings as well as both savings and con venience to the average automo bUe owner," he said. State Highway Engineer W. C. Williams told a legislative fiscal conference last week that the pro posal included a provision to raise the state gasoline tax one- half cent a gallon to 6 cents a gallon. A spokesman for the governor said this was only one of several proposals under consideration. Policemen Learn In Hours Quick Plate By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS With tho help of an instrument caUed a tachistoscopc, policemen now can learn in hours, instead of years, to recognize and retain in a glimpse of a second or less the numbers on automobile li cense plates. The trailing is Invaluable, tne PacUic University Aliimnews said in reportirg on a pUot program set up at Corvallis. The program there worked out so well, the publication said, that alter only a few hours of training, rookie policeman got a brief glance at a car license, recognized it as that of a stolen vehicle and recovered the auto. Alumncws said Corvallis Police Chief CecU Fruitt helped launch the program after being told by his optometrist, Dr. Robert Hoi bomb, that "anyone can be taught to see better." Fruitt knew from experience that only after hard work and years of practice could an officer learn to spot license numbers readily with only a brief visual exposure," the Alumncws said. Fruitt and Holcomb, in conjunc tion with the College of Optometry at Pacific, began the program with 24 policemen from Corvallis, Philomath, Oregon State College and the Benton County sheriff's office. i This course consists of a one- Ntwipoptr SPOT ADS art inexpensive NEW.S, Klamath Falls, Ore. pectively. Both featured mosaic designs. Each first-place winner received a $25 prize and a plaque and second place winners each re ceived $15 prizes. Judges Wes Gudcrian, Bob Blake and Mrs. Hugh O'Connor- said they gave honorable mention to displays at the base chapel at Kingsley Field and First Chris tian Church. "Both would have won a prize," said one judge, "if the contest included churches." 1 Jaycees said they probably wUI include categories for churches and commercial entries if they sponsor the contest next year. Kingsley's display, sponsored by the entire base, was a nativity scene featuring moving figures. First Christian Church present ed a "live" nativity scene on the church porch. The scene will be re enacted again from 7 o'clock to 7:30 o.m. today. Judges also said many displays were disqualified because they were not specific enough. Judges, for instance, had trouble deciding in which category some should have been entered. Others were too lavish. Judges said they used singleness of theme as one yardstick. Johnston's display will automat ically be entered in a national contest sponsored by National Jay cees and a big corporation. Attractive prizes are at stake. cast for Friday evening and Sat urday. Wind was not blowing Fri day morning. No precipitation is forecast.

Recognition hour per day training session for five days, Alumnews said. Pri mary teaching device used was a tachistoscope .... a device for developing visual recognition speed. Dibits, figures, color and visual stimuli are exposed to view for brief measured intervals. "The exposure is usually from I-lOOth second to one second, de pending cn the material and the skUl of the trainee. The average person ran be trained to see througn the use of the tachisto scope at a speed that an untrained person does not achieve. "Without training, it would take the average individual 70 seconds or longer to perceive and memo rize a 15-digit number. With the aid of tnehistoscopic training, he can reproduce these 15 digits after an exposure of about 2 seconds. The policemen each day took a look at 55 exposures of number combinations. They were checked each day. At the end of the short training period, Alumnews said, some policemen were able to rec ognize and remember a series of six numbers (the same as on Ore gon license plates) after looking at them only one-25th of a second. Fruitt was so encouraged with the results, Alumnews said, that he "is expanding the program to include automobile silhouettes and facial and physical characteris tics of people."

A few minutes later, authorities arrested the son of a former police chief and ac cused him of a robbery in the hotel. Police said the man taken into custody was Ray LaVern Flem ing, 34, of West Linn, the son of the late James Fleming, chief of police here for a year in the late 1940s. Fleming admitted the holdup In the Imperial Hotel, police said, and later told of eight other arm ed robberies in downtown Port land. He -was being held without formal charge. Police credited Robert E, Jen nings, 39, a bellboy at the hotel, with playing the major role in Fleming's capture. Jennings said it all started when he walked into a rest room at the hotel late Thursday night and saw an armed man robbing another man. " 'He turned the gun on me and demanded my money. I told him to go to hell," Jennings said. The gunman then jammed the barrel of the pistol into Jennings' stomach, but the bellboy grabbed him and wrestled him through the lobby and out onto the sidewalk.
