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.
But Thornton said Hatfield's
plan was an unconstitutional
transfer of legislative authority
to the governor, and that the
governor could not exercise se

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.

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

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

Judge Discloses Hoffa

NASHVILLE. Tenn. UPI
Teamsters President James R.
Hoffa played no part in an al
leged jury bribing attempt
which led to the disbarmment of
a prominent local attorney, a
U.S. District Court was told in
a secret hearing Thursday.
Judge William E. Miller dis
closed that attorney Z. T. Os
born Jr., told him Hoffa was
unaware of an attempt to bribe
a prospective juror for Hoffa's
Jan. 6 jury tampering trial.
Osborn testified at a closed
door hearing held Tuesday in
Miller's office. Tlie attorney
was disbarred from federal
court the following day but has
announced plans to appeal.
"There are things that must
be said on my side of the mat
ter, and 1 will have an oppor
tunity to say these things in
due course," Osborn said in a
statement released through
Teamsters Union headquarters
in Washington Thursday.
Osborn refused to talk with
reporters in Washington. "This,
is not a mattpr than can be
fought in the press," his state
ment said. "It is a matter for
litigation."

The disbarment was on the
ground that Osborn attempted
to offer a $10,000 bribe to Ralph
Elliott of Springfield, Tenn.,
one of 36 prospective jurors.
Elliott, who the court said was
"blameless," never was ap
proached. It was learned that the Jus
tice Department is investigating
the possibility of attempts to in
fluence others selected for pos
sible jury duty in the upcoming
Hoffa trial.
Hoffa's attorneys are expect
ed to ask early next week for
a continuance and renew their
charges .that Hoffa cannot get
a fair trial here because of
"adverse publicity."
Federal Judge Frank Gray
Jr., has indicated, however, the
oft-delayed trial will not again
be postponed.
Holfa, who has been repre.
sented by Osborn since Sept. 5,
1962, is accused along with six
others of attempting to fix the
jury which tried him here last
year on charges of sharing in
a $1 million payoff from a
trucking firm. He could receive
up to $25,000 fine and 25 years
imprisonment jf comicted.

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."
