SALEM (AP) Gov. Mark 0. Hatfield told Republican legis lators today he wants to move the Public Welfare Commission head quarters from Portland to Salem to enable him to keep a closer watch over it. The move, the Republican gov ernor told the GOP legislative minority, would give him a chance to try to make the commission! conform with his policies. Party leaders said that was the only . subject discussed at the meeting, and that the legislators themselves did not discuss it. "My guess," said Sen. Anthony Yturri, R-On'tario, minority leader in the Senate, "is that the Repub licans will go along with the gov ernor. But there has been no test of sentiment within the party."

Asst. U. S. Atty. C. E. Luckcy said today. Luckey said the indictments charge that several persons would agree in advance to stage a col lision. One car would be covered by insurance, he said, and then the occupants of the other car would put in a claim. The first such case in the in vestigation that led to the indict ments occurred in 1958, Luckey said. He declined to estimate the total amount of the damage claims, saying only that it was substantial. Most of the clautis were for physical injury, he said, and add ed that in some- cases some of those involved in the staged col lisions actually suffered injuries. Some indictments charge using the mails to defraud. That charge is based, Luckey said, on claims being sent through the mail. Other indictments contain charges of illegally receiving in tercepted police calls. Luckey sain police radio calls were monitored!
