Measure No. S: It was a Purpose: To permit Legislature to pass special laws as well as general laws creating lower slate courts and defining and regulating their jurisdiction. Explanation: In the past, the Legislature has been unahlc to make any laws pertaining to the court structure in a specific county, but had to pass legislation applicable lo all counties of certain population levels. For instance, if a county wished to transfer juvenile or probate matters from a county court to a circuit court it could only be done if all other counties in the same population bracket were required to do so, .also. Passage of this measure would permit the Legislature to enact laws applicable to a specific county as regards courts and court structures. Measure No. 6: Purpose: To establish daylight saving time in all parts of Oregon within the Pacific time zone from last Sunday in April until last Saturday in September. Explanation: The measure, if pnssed, 'would actually establish uniform daylight savings time in all of Oregon except a small portion of Baker County and Malheur County. If the measure is not approved, then the state reverts to the recent bill passed by the Legislature which permits the five northern counties of Multnomah, Clackamas. Hood River, Columbia and Washington lo adopt daylight savings time. A "yes" vote puts all the slate officially on daylight savings time. A "no" vote leaves the state in the situation it was in this year with only the five uorthcrn counties legally authorized to adopt daylight savings lime. Survival Facilities Developed At OTI "An operational fallout shelter and survival facility now exists at Oregon Technical Institute," Dr. Winston D. Purvine announced today. "This simply means that in case dangerous levels of atmospheric-borne radiation reach this area that OTI has functional un derground facilities adequate to care for those for whom it is responsible." he said. The detailed plan ascribes spe cific duties and responsibilities to every OTI student and every em ploye should sucli an emergen cy occur. Functioning of the opera tion will be under the direction of a central command headed by Dr. Purvine. "The first and most important consideration in the plan is facili tating the safety and health of persons," Purvine stated. "This involves an adequate supply of un- ontaminatcd food and water, leeping quarters and supplies. and health protection against ra diation or injury. Un.- cp.!'. ! .cpmnaitri a!

Telephone n Rocket Removal Observers WASHINGTON (UPI - Thei United States closed its air-sea ring around Cuba again today in the absence of on-the-spot United Nations observers to veri fy removal of Russian missiles. Despite reports the Russians were speeding arrangements for weapons withdrawal Irom Cuba, the U.S. naval blockade which had been suspended for 48 hours as ordered back into effect at daybreak, Provision also was made for re sumption of aerial reconnaissance over Cuba with no delinite word on when actual flights would be made. There has been no air sur veillance of weapons installations in Cuba since Monday, according to government officials. President Kennedy and his Na tional Security Council were ex pected to have a detailed report on the mission of Acting U.N. Secretary General Thant, who re turned Wednesday night from two davs of discussions with Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. The meeting was scheduled for 10 a.m. EST. U.S. officials said it was evi dent Thant did not get far in his talks toward setting up arrange ments for U.N. verification of the missile removal. No Breach Indicated Despite Castro's apparent un willingness to allow inspection of the missile sites, there were no indication of a breach in the agreement between the United States and Soviet Premier Pre mier Khrushchev to take them away. Thant, on arriving in New York Wednesday night, said he had re liable information, that the Rus sians will have completed dis mantling their long-range mis siles in Cuba by Friday.

The naval blockade went back into effect at dawn after being Editors Irked By Use Of Cuba News 'Weaocn' WASHINGTON IUPH The Defense Department and its chief spokesman, Arthur Sylvester, were under severe attack today by newspaper editors, reporters and broadcasters for "control ling" news and using it as a 'weapon" in the Cuba crisis. Sylvester, assistant defense sec retary in charge of public affairs, stuck by his guns in the face of editorial criticisms, protests from news executives and complaints of reporters trying to tell the Cuba story. The 61-year old Pentagon spokesman, himself a newspaper man for 37 years, said he had no intention to control, manage or dam up news "in a normal situ ation." "I know and respect the vital function of news media in turn ing the spotlight on us in every action we take, he said. But he said the Cuba crisis is "unique." The timing and content of news announcements by the govern ment. and the level ol otliciai- dom, at which they are released. are important factors in tiie ov erall weaponry" available to the President in the crisis, bylvesler said.
