Youth Says He
I Was With Girl
' NEWPORT. Ore. IAPI - A
'' Lincoln County Circuit Court jury
" Saturday heard the Yamhill Coun
ty sheriff say that Glenn Dixon,
18. McMinnville, admitted he was
. with Linda Jean Stevens, 16, the
' night the girl was killed.
Dixon is being tried for first
1 degree murder in the death o(
! Miss Stevens. The trial was sched-
uled to resume today. His com-
panion. Larry West Shipley, 20.
McMinnville, has been sentenced
." to death for the girl's slaying.
; Sheriff W. L. Mekkers said that
X Dixon told him Shipley was th
one who shot the girl. Mekkers
testified that Dixon made a state
J ment shortly after his arrest.
i Mekkers said, in which he said
he had argued against Shipley's

Maurine Visits
African Ghana
ACCRA. Ghana AP - Sen.
Maurine Neuberger, D-Ore., ar
rived in Ghana Sunday for a two
- day visit.
She was accompanied by Sen.
Albert Gore. D-Tenn.. his wifj.
and Carl Macy. chief of staff Inr
the Senate Foreign Relation
' Committee. .
Gore said the purpose of the
visit is to leant more about Ghana
and reinforce U.S. policies in the
area.
die hearings may set patterns for
a revolution in the railroad indus
try. Rail executives have been
pointing to a "merger fever" that
might leave the country with only
a tew super-giants in another
decade.
Southern Pacific has asKed the
ICC to approve side-by-side con
solidation of parallel and duplicat
ing facilities, which is what the
line calls Western Pacific's link
route.
Santa Fe proposed to extend its
lines through control of Western
Pacific from San Francisco lo
Salt Lake City.
Observers feel that if either
railroad wins its case the deci
sion could produce a chain reac
tion affecting other possible mer
gers across the nation.
Western Pacific is not forced
to seek consolidation, since it
makes a handsome profit now and
has a potentially much greater
future. But President Fredcri-k
H. Whitman feels that tile tenden
cy toward mergers is such that
his line will inevitably be ab
sorbed by a bigger railroad.
Whitman prefers to merge wiih
Santa Fe. a commercial ally for
decades. His company is backing
Santa Fe in the hearings.
After three days here, the hear-1
ings will resume at Salt Lake
City Thursday and Friday; at Se
attle Oct. 23-24, and at Portland
Oct. 25-27.
Boat copshe jEast Oregonians. Plan Reapportionment Moves

whose body was recovered Sun
day after a 26-foot trawler over

A search continued today for
Burton's companion. Darrel L.

The men were en route to New

ot angry tastern Oregon legisla
tors met in Ben Saturday.
They discussed avenues of ae-j
lion that might be taken to cor
rect what they said was an un
just legislative reapportionment
plan submitted by Howell App
ling Jr., Oregon secretary i
state. j
The last Legislature passed a
reapportioning act, which did
very little reapportioning, but it1
was struck down after several
appeals were filed with the Ore
gon Supreme Court.
The court said the Legislature s
a action did not conform with the
o I const ilutional direction that rep-
arrive about 9 p.m. Wreckage I resentation in both houses must
was spotted shortly before noo.ilbe strictly by population.
Sunday. I The meeting was called by
State Sen. Harry D. Boivin. D-
Klamath Falls, who set the key
note witn this statement:
. "It is the old story of taxation
without representation. We could,
over a period of time, be put in
a serious situtation. To my mind
the people of Eastern Oregon are
entitled to proper representation.
just as much as the people in
Multnomah County.
The opinion most generally
voiced at the Bend meeting was
that area should be as important
as population in representation to
the Legislature.
The problem facing the 16 state
senators and representatives whol
attended was this: The state con
stitution requires the Legislature!
to reapportion itself after every
census on tne basis ot population
If the Legislature does not do it,
Ihe secretary of state must. And
the Supreme Court has the final
say on the constitutionality of
any plan.
Lawmakers at Ihe Bend meet
ing discussed three plans, all of
which would have to be augment
ed through a constitutional
amendment.
PREDICTS COMMUNISM'S END
NEW YORK a'PH-Four-thou-
sand Cubans rallying against the
regime ot Fidel Castro were told
Sunday that Castro's downfall
would mark the beginning of the
end of communb-m in the world.
The prediction was made by Dr.
Jose Miro Cardona. chief of the
Cuban revolutionary council.
First was the plan passed by
the Legislature, but rulled in
valid by the -court. That would
have taken three representatives
from eastern Oregon and left the
same Senate representation for
the eastern two thirds of t h e
state.
Second was another proposal.
almost passed by the Legislature,
which would have increased the
numbers of senators and repre
sentatives, and increased eastern
Oregon's representation in the
house.
Third was the so-called federal
plan, which would give a senator
to each county, regardless of pop
ulation, with the house member
ship made up on the basis of pop-illation.
Fourth, and only half in jest.
the Eastern Oregon legislators
talked of secession economic
if not political.
Boivin suggested, tongue in
cheek, that the co'inties east of
the mountains join Nevada. But
another delegate was serious
about it.
We may not be able to se
cede," Giles French, a former
legislator from Mora, said, "but
w'e can secede economically.
That's a rough Hung to say, hut
we may have to do it."
