Regpporlicnf Plan Sparks-Cries For Study SALEM (AP- Cries for study of Oregon's constitutional pro i vision for legislative reapportion ment arose Thursday after a new plan for reapportionment was sub milted by Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. The plan sliced the represen tation of sparsley populated East- em Oregon and added seats in more populous Multnomah, Lane, Jackson and Washington counties. "This is really rough on East ern Oregon," said Sen. Loyd Key, D-Milton-Freewater, who was re apportioned right out of the legis lature by the plan. "In the case of Umatilla Coun ty with its fruit, sugar beets, ir rigated areas, feeding business, attaching it to Wallowa and Union counties across the blue moun tains and not very accessihe, is certainly not giving that particu lar division very much thought, he said. The plan was submitted by Appling upon instructions from the Oregon Supreme Court, which ruled unconstitutional a plan passed by the legislature that did very little reapportioning. , Rep. F. F. Montgomery, It-Eugene, said, "I am confident Mr. Appling gave full consideration to legislative intent Insofar as the Doom Opt TnlH (:45 Continuous Sot, A Sun. ..From 12:45 NOW PLAYING! f(iU'IWi;.iti)ijH Mil n!?

Montgomery, as House Repub-i lican Leader and a member qf the House elections and reapportion ment committee, played a key role in the development of the legislative plan. "I continue to believe," Mont gomery said, "that people do not want Eastern Oregon stripped ofi its representation, which, together with the admitted ambiguity ofi our constitution, pouts up t h e need for careful study by Rep (George) Layman's constitutional revision committee. Dust Storm Hits West By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The remnant of an unusually violent dust storm moved cast! Friday after displacing much landscape and wreaking minor havoc over a wide area of East-; era Washington and northeastern Oregon. Visibility was zero, highways were closed, work stopped, motor ists were stranded and planes were grounded for three to four hours Thursday afternoon. There were numerous accidents. The Weather Bureau said an ex tremely rapid build-up of a high pressure area over the Pacific, back of a low pressure area ex lending east into Montana, caused wind to rush in from the south. Four persons were Injured, one critically. In a IB-car pileup near Lind, Wash. Fear end collisions started when one car stopped A lot of the dry land wheat farming area of the Horse Heaven country, south of Pressor toward the Columbia River, took to the sky. State Highway 8, running north from Patterson on the Columbia to Prosser, was darkened so au tomobile traffic stalled. Benton County Deputy Sheriff Gene Dallas and Sgt. Ted Jonge- wnard moved in. Thoy put on pro tective goggles and walked down the center of the road, waving al (lag, tor cars and cattle-laden trucks to follow them bumper-to-bumper until the dust thinned out.

Judge Vandenberg immediately sent the jury from the courtroom and had Reporter Doris Abernathy read McKeen s statement.

Jackson Jr., 29, 2'k years ago. But Virginia's ability to carry! out the judgment depends on the willlngcss of the federal govern ment to commute two lite sen tences already imposed on Rees In the same case.

Air Blamed For Death PORTLAND (AP) - Air in the bloodstream has been blamed for the death of Mrs. Ted Bussey, 29, whose body was found crumpled in her parked car Monday. Mrs. Bussey's body was found Monday, eight days after her disappearance was reported. Dep. Dist. Atty. Guerts said he could not say whether the woman had been murdered. He said that was up to the detectives. Experts had been unable to determine how Mrs. Bussey died. Police said there was evidence of a struggle in the car. The victim's clothes had been disarrayed, and the contents of her purse had been spilled. No serious wounds were found on the body. Byron A. Shields, chief of de tectives, said Thursday night:"We haven't ruled out the possibility that the Injury which caused her death may have been self-inflicted, but based on physical evidence and other factors, we have to go on the assumption that it was murder."

Board Hears Oil Report SALEM (AP) Members ofj the Oregon State Land Board were studying Thursday a report. of the state's chief geologist urg ing a flat royalty policy on oil leasing in the state. The board has had the question of whether to have) a flat royalty or sliding scale royalty under con sideration for some time. , The report, submitted by Holis Dole, director of the Geology and Mineral Industries Department, took the same position Dole took when the question first came up several months ago. Dole's report contained answers to letters sent to 32 states and the U.S. Interior Department about royalty policies. . Gov. Mark Hatfield, Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. arid State Treasurer Howard Bolton, land board members, all said they had the report under study but declined comment on it at this time. Only California and Montana use the sliding scale royalty for leasing wildcat lands, those that have no known oil, Dole said. He said Utah and the Interior Department use a modified slid ing scale royalty for leasing land in areas known to have oil.

I This M ink Coat Acts Like Rabbit AGE HIRALO AND NIW1, Klamath Palls, Oregon - - - Friday; September i 1K1 By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: My fiance gave me what he said was a mink cape for my birthday. I got caught in the rain with it and it sire didn't act like mink. I think he got rabbit. I showed him how it matted up ind smelled sort1 if peculiar. Then he admitted that he bought the cape from a man who came by the office building and said he needed some money in a hurry. Now that I know the circum stances I'm sure he got taken for a ride. Of course he has no idea of how to get in touch with the man who sold him the cape. What can he do? GYPPED Dear Gypped: He can kick him self for being such a yokel. Pco. pie who know nothing about fur should know a furrier. It's only common sense to buy from an es tablished firm, a firm which, in accordance with the fur-labeling act, slates on the ticket the name of the animal that gave his life for m'lady. Dear Ann Landers: I used to think you made up the letters but; after what happened to me I'd believe anything. My wife and I were married seven years. I thought we were; happy. Last month she asked for a divorce. I almost had a heart attack. She told me she wanted to marry an old flame. He turned up five months ago and they took up where they left off in college. She filed for divorce and we agreed to live in the same house until the decree was final for fi nancial reasons. She cooks, cleans, does the laundry and goes out with him four nights a week. I knew there was something phony about this jerk but exactly what I couldn t say. If he was so nuts about my wife, what was he doing the other three nights? So I tailed him. Sure enough, he was meeting another woman. I told my wife but she wouldn't believe me. So the next night I took her along. Now she has called off the di vorce and swears she'll be true to me as long as she lives. Should I give her another chance? OLD SHERLOCK Dear Sherlock: After an expe rience like this I'm willing to bet she'll be a first-rale wife. Give her a chance to prove she means what she says. ; Dear Ann Landers: I'm going with a girl who is very intelligent and has a lot of character. The one thing that bothers me about Mrs. Schmidt Named To Post BONANZA - Mrs. Howard Schmidt (Patty Derry) has been appointed secretary-treasurer ot the Lost River Cemetery Associ ation by the Board of Directors. The association was formed in 1949 and Mrs. Owen Pepple was secretary - treasurer until her death in August. The cemetery is under perpetual care and was voted onto the tax roll in 1954. Mrs. scnmicu is marriea ana has one daughter. She attended Bonanza schools. her is that she gets herself up in sort of an off-beat way and some times I think she goes too far. She has removed her natural eyebrows and paints on artifi cial ones about an inch higher than where they would be if she left them alone. As a result, she always looks surprised. Do you think I should say some thing to her? Or does this come under the heading of "None Of My Business?" VERY INTER ESTED Dear Very Interested: Your sig nature indicates that it is your business. Be tactful and tell her you think her own eyebrows would look better Ulan Woolworth's and ask her if she'll give them another chance. Confidential to Young at Heart: It sounds as if this Mata Hari in ankle sox is steaming up your glasses, Dad. Why don't you pick on someone your own age?
