Thornton Suddenly Cast in Power Role SALEM (CPU Ally. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton has emerged as a vastly powerful influence at the special session of the legislature. The Democratic political foe of Gov. Mark Hatfield has prob ably had more influence than any other single individual over the deliberations under way here. Legislators and the governor's staff were forced to look to Thornton to settle policy ques tions. It's a new role for Thornton, who has been deliberately cir cumvented for most of Hat field's administration. The legislature ground to a halt Thursday to give Thornton time to decide if the proposed solution to the Boardman prob lem was constitutional. The solution to the fiscal cri sis was drafted to suit legal guides set down by Thornton. Hatfield had pointed to a method of allotment controls to meet demands of the voters Oct. 15 rejection of the legisla ture's tax increase.

The apartment was rented Senator Wants To Air Session SALEM iUPD -Live broad casts of proceedings at the 1905 legislative session were called for Thursday by Sen. Vernon Cook, D-Portland. Cook proposed the state spend up to $50,000 at the next ses sion to make the broadcasts available to every radio station in Oregon. Cook claimed there was "al most complete failure of com munication between the mem bers of the legislature and the people of Oregon." The Cook proposal calls for the state to finance the techni cal origin of broadcasts from the two houses and committee meetings. He estimated the pro ject would not cost more than $1,000 a week.

Faced with these opinions, legislators had to draft bills to meet guides set out by Thorn ton. The role of attorney general is unique. His opinions, although they do not carry the weight of a court decision, have tremendous im pact. If an attorney general does not choose to rule on a ques tion law makers can proceed and let the courts decide constitu tional issues if they are raised. But if an attorney general does issue a ruling, the state is forced to accept his advice for to move in opposition to such a finding would invite a court test. And an attorney general would not be called upon to de fend an arm of state govern ment which had flaunted his advice. Thornton's opinions are scorned by Hatfield and Repub licansand many Democrats. Thornton has emerged, through a peculiar chain of cir cumstances, as the major policy maker at the special session of the legislature. under the name of Peter Taral lo, 37, who was arrested Tues day with Sleplien Berman, 30, after a bungled $20,000 stickup at a West Side apartment house. The two were nabbed fleeing the scene of the holdup. The loot recovered included paintings as well as diamonds, pearls, necklaces, and oilier valuables. Police said they were tipped off to the apart ment's location. Also in the apartment, which had triple locks on its doors, were bank papers indicating Tarallo had safe deposit boxes in two Manhattan banks. Police said they have applied for a court order to open them, and they said they believed the boxes would contain more loot. Detailed layouts Of many apartment houses and hotels on the city's upper East Side were found in the hideout, leading po lice to believe the gang may have been responsible for the wave of burglaries which have plagued the city to the tune of $800,000 so far this year.

Superintendents Want Local Control Of Funds PORTLAND IUPD Local control of federal aid to educa tion money was advocated by the nation's school superintend ents who wound up a tliree-day meeting Thursday. The superintendents, who at tended the C o u n c 1 1 of Chief State School Officers convention here, took the stand that "fed eral funds for education should not be used in any way to con trol education at the state or lo cal levels." They adopted policies calling for up to $6 billion annually in federal aid, but asked that it be distributed on a similar equali zation basis. They also called for safe guards to make certain federal funds would complement state and local funds, and not be a substitute for them. The super intendents would have states match federal grants with new slate funds. Slates with less money would be able to match proportionally less. Dr. A. W. Ford, superintend ent of schools in Arkansas, said he did not believe the program would be adopted in tlie imme diate future "but that's what we want."
