Cash Slated To Surface Highway LAKEVIEW An April 4 re lease from the office of Congress man Al Ullman announces a $200,000 allocation of Accelerated Public Works funds for work on a six-mile section of U.S. Highway 395. The permanent surfacing of the highway, from four miles south of Valley Falls to just south of Chandler Wayside, will begin in June and provide 168 man months of work for unemployed men in Lake County. Ullman was praised by Sens Wayne Morse and Maurine Ncu bcrger for the effective job he did in gaining the grant for Lake County. Almost all of the funds available for the entire county had previously been exhausted. Ullman was able to secure the al location out of fiscal 1963 funds because preliminary engineering plans were available so lhat work could begin before the end of the fiscal year on June 30. The congressman stated Judge Ogle had written me bout the pressing need for ex pediting road construction work, and I went to work on this as soon as Lake County became eli gible on March 8. 1 am particu larly pleased with Ihe success both because of the present em ployment situation in Lake Coun ty and also this pressing need for accelerated highway work." The section of highway involved was reconstructed in 1900 and a temporary surface was laid. Ac cording In the state highway en gineer, the Increasingly heavy traffic on this section of U.S. Iiighway means a permanent re surfacing job needs to be done quickly to prevent deterioration of the original construction work. fW3HW-f i-.-- I ......- ., v. ... ....... ... v ... , . ft ... .

Three Sex Crime Bills Pass House SALEM I CPU - A trio of sex offender bills whipped easily through the Oregon House today and a fourth measure, defeated Thursday, was revived. Only a handful of members vot ed against each of the three bills, which go to the Senate. One would clarify the offense of a "peeping torn." The second would permit en hanced penalties, including inde terminate sentences for second and subsequent sex offenses. The third would put jurisdiction over sex offenses involving chil dren in the circuit courts. Rep. Shirley Field, R-Portland, said this would prevent youngsters from having to appear in court more than once, since the circuit courts are courts of record and keep a transcript, while lower courts do not. The revived bill would transfer juvenile jurisdiction from county to circuit courts. It was sent back lo the J u d i c i a r y Committee, where an amendment may be made to exclude counties of small population. The four bills are part of a package of six aimed at sex of fenders. The olher two, expected on the House floor before long, would provide for commitment and treatment of persons who 'are demonstrably sexually dangerous and would set up a central police filing bureau for sex offenses.

Morse, D-Ore., Thurs-i day night accused the General Services Administration 1GSA1 of considering "scandalous" propos als to sell the closed Tongue Point Naval Station at Astoria, Ore., lo private bidders for a "pittance." Morse warned that the GSA would be "laying an egg of scan dal for this administration to be hatched in Ihe heat of the 19K4 campaign" if it went ahead with plans. And. he told the Senate, Presi dent Kennedy will have to an swer to Oregon voters next year it he lets the GSA go ahead. The Navy closed the Tongue Point base in 1959 as an obsolete facility. Morse and Sen. Maurine B. Xeuberger, D-Ore., have been trying to move other government facilities into the surplus installation. Their effort lo move a Coast Geodetic Survey facility from Se attle to the Astoria site had been unsuccessful. Morse held the Senate into a late evening session to berate the GSA for trying to "sweep Ihe' is sue under the rug" through a quick sale of Ihe surplus property. The Oregon Democrat said one proposed bid is for only $1.4 mil lion, which be branded a "scan dalous return" for the former Navy base at the mouth of the Columbia River. He said one stone quarry alone on the noi acre base is worth 1.5 million according to estimates of "repu table road-builders." Morse told the Senate that "I don't propose to sit here and per- mit our administration to be taken in by that kind of scandal." A sale of Tongue Point without a thorough survey of other pos sible government uses would be a "shoddy and unconscionable waste" of taxpayer funds, Morse declared.
