Way Paved To Complete
Boardman Space Project
SALEM a'PIi A joint session
of the legislature was told Friday
that agreement had been reached
with the Army engineers, paving
the way for completion of the
Boardman Space Age development
project in northeastern Oregon.
Gov. Mark Hatfield and Sen.
Wayne L. Morse made the an
nouncement during an appearance
before the special session of the
legislature.
In n. ntc rnnU fn nwinK
the joint session, Hatfield said
juuu session,
there w ill have to be "some addi
tional funding of some type for
acquisition of land."
He did not mention a specific
figure, but said he would need
the assistance of the legislature
as to the "method of funding."
The state still has to reach
agreement with the Navy over the
"fair market price" involved in a
land exchange. The Navy is mov
ing its bombing range from the
property, and has increased its
initial estimate of the cost of the
move.
The Boardman project became
hogged down when the Army En
gineers announced they were re
serving title to lands along the
Columbia River. The agreement
reached Friday grants title for
some of the river shore to the
state.
Hatfield said he believes Boeing
Aircraft Company, which plans a
development at Boardman, is
ready to move to the site as soon
as title to land for river access
in passed.
Hatfield also revealed that the
railroad in the Boardman area
will have to be relocated. He said
this will "not delay use of the
land for our purposes or develop
ment of access to the river."
Morse said the chief of Army
Engineers had approved the

Pearson shot back "you are not

Log Truck Operators
Lock Horns
SALEM (UPI I A group of log
truck operators and the Public
Utility Commission clashed head-
on Friday over two bills which
would tighten requirements for
log truck permits.
The truckers want the tougher
restrictions.
The PUC said they were not
needed.
One trucker said the governor
agreed with the need for the new
regulations.
A PUC representative said he
knew of no such support from the
governor's office.

"Studies show that the use of

The hearing before the House
Commerce and Utilities Commis
sion also was advised a request
may be made to have the present
law repealed.
Rep. John Dellcnback, R-Mcd-i
ford, told the committee he had
received a letter from the South
ern Oregon Conservation and Tree
Farm Association asking for re
peal of the present law.
Dellcnback said he would decide
whether to push for repeal after
meeting with constituents this
weekend.
The 11 Legislature adopted
laws requiring PUC permits for
log truckers. Before 1961 they
were not required to get permits
for public convenience and neces
sity. The two bills discussed Friday
would strengthen load and service
area restrictions.
Rnseburg truck owner Jim
Faulk said the present law "opens
the back door" to competition for
licensed truckers.
Wilson Boyer said the Coos
County Loggers Association favor

Howard Dullcy of Lane County
said the truckers had the gover

Year-Round
School Plan
Introduced
SALEM (UPD-A bill to allow
elementary and high schools to
operate all year was introduced
rriday by Rep. Jonn Mosser, R
Beaverton. A normal four-year high school
course could be completed In
three years by students attending
year-around sessions.
Mosser said public schools
would have a choice of adopting
a Ihree-tcrm year, with each term
not less than 15 weeks.
Teachers, under the Mosser
plan, would receive a 25 per cent
salary increase. They would re
ceive every sixth term off as va
cation, with a choice of accumu
lating time off for sabbatical !
leave.
Schools adopting the system
would be given an increase in
basic school support. j
Adoption of the program would
be optional with each school dis- ,
tncl.
Students are certainly as men
tally alert in summer as they are
in winter, he said, "and tend to
spin their wheels when they begin
a new school year where they left
oil before vacation.
Mosser's program would slill
leave seven weeks of vacation
which could be distributed over
I lie year, perhaps two w eeks at
Christmas, two weeks in the
spring, and two or three weeks in
August for the family vacation
School districts could benefit by
hiring fewer teachers and con
structing fewer high schools and
additions, Mosser said.
