Or. truth-ln-Lending Plea Opposed By Retailers SJLEM (UPll - A plea for "(wth-in - lending" was met by tlfelges of "technical difficulties" at" a hearing Monday night be fof,the Senate mmittee on Fi nancial Affairs. XT issue was a bill that would rejpire retail outlets to disclose th. .annual rate of simple interest th charge. Sen. Don Willner, D-Portland, sponsor of the bill, said if it pass csJ'consumers will know pos sible for the first time" how mpti interest they actually are pajaog. the bill was supported by the Oregon Savings and Loan Associa tion six credit unions, the AFL CIO, the Grange, and the Oregon FaJSJiers Union. Retailers opposed it. They said it was unnecessary, would confuse the;' public, and would be "impos sibie for dealers to administer." CD. MacEwan. SDeakine for a group of Portland retailers, said it is "normal business practice" to -quote interest on a monthly rather than a vearlv rate. Hp said retailers would exDerience "tech nical difficulties" in changing the w ays they describe interest. Willner said the Dublie is pnn fused by five methods currently useg in figuring interest Clarence Brooks of the Grange added the bill only seeks "open faced truth." Charles Wentworth of the Ore gon Auto Dealers Association re plied it would be impossible to figure auto contracts on the basisJ of simple annual interest. Frank Geiger of Meier and Frank stores said the bill would penalize reputable dealers in an effort to reach a few unethical ones. He said it would be a big job for Meier and Frank to figure annual interest rates for people who buys items each month on the revolving charge account sys tem. Willner conceded a bill before the U. S. Congress, sponsored by Sen. Paul Douglas. D-Ul., would make an Oregon law unnecessary. But, he said, "No one knows if the bill will pass."

Everest Plan Claims OSU Grad KATMANDU, Nepal (UPI) -Hopes of conquering massive Mt. Everest and two towering sister mountains ended in tragedy for a Jackson, Wyo., climber, it was learned today. The State Department said it had received word from Nepal that John Breitenbach, 27, a grad uate of Oregon State University, was killed after he was buried under an ice fall at the base of Mt. Everest 78 miles from here Saturday. Breitenbach was on a team of 20 crack mountain climbers en gaged in setting up a base of op erations for the assault on 29,028 foot Everest scheduled for May 1. Informed sources said the ac cident happened as Breitenbach was improving a trail across the Khumbu glacier. The glacier must be crossed by any mountain climbing team seek ing to scale the world's highest mountain from the south side. The trail Breitenbach was improving had been carved out the day be fore, and the team was to move up from a base camp. Breitenbach was the operator of a ski shop near Snow King Ski Area at Jackson. The expedition left here in mid February. Breitenbach graduated from Oregon State in 1961 with a bache lor degree in science and was an honor student. His widow, Mary Louise, also attended OSU in 1961. nit ' w i,i ; V 0 S V J v II - ' . . r 1 I 1 ' ' I ARISTOCRATIC CAT Relaxing in regal manner is Blu Acre Jeremy, blue Persian champion cat belonging to Mrs. Wanda Scott of Independence, Mo.

Club Mulls Deer Issue DUNSMUIR The declining buck kill in Siskiyou County is the major concern of the Duns muir Rod and Gun Club in its evaluation of last year's deer season, according to Paul Carter, club statistician. At a special meeting March 22. over 50 members of the club tab ulated 3,270 deer tags represent ing the kill in Siskiyou County according to date killed, general location, and antler points. This compares to 4.545 deer tags for the Siskiyou County deer season the previous year.

The club is advocating closing the California deer season on Oct. 20 this year to help preserve the remaining deer. - NOW AT TOWER FURNITURE! ROYALWEVE hU yow time.
