Glass Shot By Vandals Probably the most expensive prank pulled by vandals Hallow een night was that of shooting plate glass windows with RB guns.

'They dont quit until they reach their objective." he said "There isn't any way the ICC can build a fence around us." Whitman, who favors Santa Fe's petition for control, said he was not sure Santa Fe would be "with us on the next round." He said that during the present dispute, Western Pacific has had a real problem keeping up morale among its employes. "You can imagine our trouble recruiting young men," the presi dent said. "We have a problem keeping fully competitive with a Civil Service Positive, Says Director SALEM (AP) Oregon's Civil Service Commission accents the positive, getting the goon man into government, instead of the negative, keeping out the rascal. director Mclvin Cleveland says. Cleveland said this is because Oregon's civil service law and he says it's a good one was born in surroundings of good, clean gov ernment and not scandal. The Oregon State Employes As sociation, aiming at career prin ciples, and the League of Women Voters pressed for it, Cleveland said. It was passed in 1945. He said the law is better than most because it did not result from political pulling and tugging. Oregon's law, he said, was based on a model law dialled hy the National Civil Service league, a nonprofit citizens action group. The law specifically says that a stale employe shall not be dis missed on grounds of politics. race, religion or solely because of age. A dismissed employe, under the law, can appeal to the commis sion, which can order the person to be put back to work if the fir ing was illegal. A recent study showed that from 1954 through 1961 there were 1.279 employes dismissed and 39 appeals to the commission. The civil service law is silent on whether a commission ruling can he appealed to the courts. No body ever has challenged a com mission ruling in the courts.

He agreed that WP officials would make personal profits from the Santa Fe proposals but that stockholders would make healthy gains. Whitman insisted the Westernl Pacific backed Santa Fe because a Southern Pacific victory would mean there wouldn t be any West ern Pacific." Bolh SP and Santa Fe have promised to operate WP indc pendently. Accents commissioners with overlapping three-year terms. Members are chairman Philip A. Joss, Port land: V. B. Kcnworthy. The Dalles; and Harris Ellsworth, Roseburg. Civil service commissioners, as a matter of principle, do not offer resignations when a new governor is elected as members of some other commissions do. Twenty-seven states now have civil service laws, but Cleveland said ot the Oregon law: "It is as intensive and extensive as any ex cepl Colorado, which is more com plete with even depar'.iient heads mostly under civil service." Oregon's civil service director is the only agency head classified under civil service. The post is filled by the commission through a competitive examination.

This fell far short, of the 50,000 throng that Hughes' supporters had hoped to assemble. The President flew to Trenton from New York City, where he gave a boost to Democratic May or Robert F. Wagner in the Sal ter's race for reelection. Kennedy flew back, to Washington after a brief reception with New Jersey Democratic leaders and a 10-min-ute speech for Hughes. Kennedy's endorsement of Wag ner in New York was: I want to take this opportun ity to state with the utmost con viction my wholehearted support for the reelection of Mayor Rob ert F. Wagner.
