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

Supreme Coutf decision would
permit.
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.

SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG Three-month-old "R. J.,"
son of Mr. and Mrs. Roland J. Crume of Spraque River,
peers confentedly at the world from the comfort of his
Indian baby board. The buckskin board was especially
made for the baby's great aunt, Mrs. Diretha Crume, by
members of the Piyute tribe in Nevada. It is hand
beaded, has a wicker hood and the buckskin is fitted
snugly to the child and tied with leather thongs. "R. J."
the Crume's only child, is shown hers with his father.

Of Less Serious Charge
Clayton S. Schultz, 10-year-old
Klamath Falls youth, was convict

men and five women.
Ten of the 12 jurors agreed on
the verdict, which was a lessen

deliberated a relatively short hour
and 45 minutes before foreman
R. D. Scott of Klamath Falls an
nounced the verdict at 4:50 p.m.
to conclude a four-day trial.
Judge David ft. Vandenberg will
sentence Schultz next Tuesday

the penitentiary.
Schultz was convicted of stab

River, four tunes in the kidney
area on Aug. 2 in The Waldorf
Billiard Parlor, 610 Main Street.
The Stabbing followed a brawl on
Main Street between Schultz and
Crume.
The case was nearly declared a
mistrial Thursday when Deputy
District Attorney Sam McKeen
told the jury of their alternatives.
He mentioned possible convictions
and then said, "Your final alter
native is to give Clayton Schultz
his knife back.
Judge Vandenberg immediately
sent the jury from the courtroom
and had Reporter Doris Abernathy
read McKeen s statement.
"This court was reversed in the
State versus Wilson case for al
lowing a similar remark," the
judge said. "We have the same!
thing here after four days ofi
trial." After a recess, Judge Van
denberg instructed the juiy to dis
regard McKeen's remark.
Schultz had claimed that he
stabbed Crume after Crume hiti
him over the head with a crutch.

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.

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

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

left them alone. As a result, she
always looks surprised.
