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."

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.

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.
Extension of the deer season into
November and other game man
agement policies are contribut
ing to the decrease in the North
ern California mule deer popula
tion, the club membership con
tends. The club is advocating closing
the California deer season on Oct.
20 this year to help preserve the
remaining deer.
