2.2 2.2 6. The Spokesman-Review, Wednesday, March 1, 1967. HOUSE SESSION Olympia College, Driver Bills Pass Spokesman-Review Staff Writer OLYMPIA The House bills calling for a new four-year another measure which would mit to chemical tests for when arrested by State Patrol troopers on suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol. Supporters of the bill to establish a four-year state college near Olympia were jubilant after their measure passed the House, 80-17. Final passage of the measure climaxed about four hours of strong debate over two days, with legislators Snohomish and southwestern counties trying to locate the college in areas.
Opposition Foiled Rep. Charles Moon, D-Snohomish, made a late-hour effort to kill the measure by making a motion to postpone the bill indefinitely. However, motion by Rep. Slade of Seattle, Republican floor leader, to table Moon's motion was approved by a voice vote. Later, Moon urged that every member of the House vote in favor of the bill.
He said he would vote against it because he wanted to be on the negative side so that he would be eligible for appointment to a joint Senate House conference committee in, event the measure is amended in the Senate and goes to a conference committee. How They Voted All eastern Washington representatives voted for measure except Art Avey, Kettle Falls, and Mrs. Joseph E. Hurley, D. Spokane.
On the so-called implied consent measure, Rep. Robert McDougall, R-Wenatchee, said the matter had been the subject of a detailed study. "This will be of help to the state patrolmen in cutting down accidents and fatalities on highways," he said. The measure not only requires any motorist to submit to, a blood or breatholyzer test for alcoholic content, but also reduces the assumed amount of alcohol in the blood from .015 to .01 as the amount which would be considered as "being under the influence."

a BIG DISTRICTS' SPLIT SOUGHT BOISE -Division of two north Idaho legislative districts into subdistricts is the subject of a bill introduced Tuesday in the Idaho Legislature. The measure would divide legislative Districts 7 and 8 into subdistricts 7A and 7B, 8A and 8B, with one representative elected from each subdistrict. Currently two representatives are elected from each district. Rep. Ed Williams, D-Lewiston, said the measure would cut down distances within the districts and allow better geographical representation.
District 7 includes a populous area of Nez Perce County and all of Clearwater County. Williams pointed out that Lewiston Orchards, in Nez Perce County, contains more voters than the rest of the district combined. The subdistrict plan would assure representation of the people in Clearwater County, William said. District 8 includes Lewis and Idaho counties. Since Idaho County is the largest county in the state and is divided by mountains, Williams said, the subdistricts are intended to cut down the campaign area for a candidate.
Idahoan Suggests Higher Gas Tax BOISE, Idaho (AP)-Gov. Don W. Samuelson said Tuesday he might ask the gallon increase in the state matching funds for federal Port District Bill Delayed for Changes Port District BOISE (AP) A bill revising Idaho's port district sidetracked for amendment. Tuesday despite the unanimous opposition of Senate Democrats. The Senate voted on straight party lines, 22-12, with one Democrat absent, to put the measure up for amendment.
Sen. William C. Roden, R- Boise, the majority leader, initiated the move to expand a district commission from three to five members. Idaho has only one port district, at Lewiston. Roden said the revised port district law which sponsors said was intended to put Lewiston in a better competitive position with ports in Washington state-would expand power of the commissioners.
Minority Views But Sen. Arthur Murphy, D. Mullan, the minority leader, said members of the Lewiston Port District, the Lewiston City Commission, Nez Perce County Commission and Lewiston Chamber of Commerce all are opposed to the expansion of the board. He said he regarded the move to amend the bill as an attempt delay action "and perhaps kill it." Earlier in the session an attempt to amend the bill to expand the commission was defeated. Two Republicans joined the 13 Democrats then to vote against the proposal and with six Republicans absent the amendment was beaten, 15-14.
party line vote, Murphy insisted that all bills on second reading be read in full. This is established slowdown procedure to register opposition the handling of bill. But after a short period, Murphy withdrew his objections and the Senate slowdown was ended. "We will find out, Murphy said, "whether the proposed amendment meets with the approval of the people in Lewiston." More than 700 species of plants in this country contain some form of poison. The Americano Word From President late Tuesday night passed college at Olympia and require motorists to subalcoholic content in the blood way let's pass this bill," McDougall urged.
said it was fortunate Washington Rep. Sam to Smith, had such a fine State Patrol because if it did not troopers could take advantage of such a measure. "We're giving them an awful lot of power," Smith said, "which could raise havoc. We should have many lawyers take a long look this Replied Rep. Audley F.
Mahaffey, R-Seattle, "I have no fear of our State Patrol. I also have been informed that if the state does not have an implied consent law by 1969, we will be denied at least 10 per cent of our federal highway funds." A 'Lazy' Law Rep. Leonard Sawyer, D-Lake Tapps, voiced strong opposition to the measure, but said, "We're going to get beat down horribly, because the do-gooders are out tonight. "However, I'm not going railroaded against a fundamental matter of law. The thing implied consent will make is lazy law enforcement.
"When I have proof this will do the job, I'll be for it. But as yet, I have no such proof." All eastern Washington members voted for the measure except Avey, William S. Day, D- Spokane, Vaughn Hubbard, R- Waitsburg; William J. S. May, D-Spokane; Keith Spanton, R- Union Gap, and Mrs.
Hurley, 17 to Attend 4-H Forum PULLMAN, Wash. Next week's Western Regional 4-H Leader Forum in Sale Lake City will draw 15 leaders from 10 counties in the state. Dr. C.

Potato Crop Cut Is Urged This Season WASHINGTON (AP) The Agriculture, growers Department resist recom- any inclinations they may have to grow more late summer crop potatoes this year than last year. Furthermore, it is suggesting the acreage of the fall crop the major one--be reduced six per cent from last year. The sug. gested acreage of the relatively early summer crop is down four per cent from 1966.
These recommendations, which are voluntary as far as growers are concerned, are designed to hold the crop to. a level guaranteeing satisfactory prices. The depatrment said the 1967 crop of summer and fall potatoes should be about 246.4 million hundredweight, seven per cent less than last year.

Springrose, vice president for transportation of the Minneapolis grain firm, Cargill, Inc. Dr. Nelson, describing the outlook for transportation and transport organization and policy in the Pacific Northwest, said lower transportation costs are a predictable outcome of the marked trend toward larger volume equipment and continued competition among the various modes of transport.

Hansen Protests Elk Kill in Park Airport Bills Are Cleared by Committee legislature for a one-cent a gasoline tax to provide highway monies. The governor said Idaho would need to provide about $3.5 million in state money to receive $14 million in federal highway funds. He.
said the funds were those held up by the federal government, which were now being relegecause he had not expected to receive the federal monies, Samuelson said, hechad not included the $3.5 million in state funds in budget. The state. chief executive reaffirmed desire to give about $6 million in tax relief," However. As he explained it: Rather than take the money from the general fund, it would be raised by the additional onecent a gallon gasoline tax. This would be paid by out-of-state residents purchasing gasoline in Idaho.
Therefore, Idahoans would be paying additional taxes of $4 million. To grant a net amount of $6 million in tax relief, the legislature must grant a gross relief figure of $10 million. The, governor said he Arts had signed the bill creating an and Humanities Commission, but would veto any appropriations to make the program operable. he was opposed to using public funds for financing the commission. He suggested the commission sell membership much the same as the Fish and Game Commission sells fishing licenses.
"I would buy the number one membership," Samuelson said. He said he wanted to see what the House does with bills appropriating some $2 million above his recommendation for the state's two universities. The Bills were passed by the Senate. Samuelson hinted that he veto the bills if they were On Other Issues On other subjects, the governor said: It is not fair of the federal government to use "blackmail tactics" in reducing federal highway funds if the states does not comply with regulations regarding billboards, junkyards, and vehicle inspection. He would prefer a gradual phase-out of utility property assessments rather than a franchise or gross profits tax after the Supreme Court property tax decision.
He will not call a special session after Thursday, the 60th day of the regular session, but will let the legislature continue until its business is finished. Denied the assertation by State Auditor Joe Williams that Budget Director James Defenbach was "playing politics" with Williams' budget. Williams received the least biennial increase of all elective officials. He claimed Defenbach, whom he defeated for the auditor's post in 1962, had based his budget on politics. Expansion of Hospital Is Proposed WALLACE, Idaho--The East Shoshone Hospital District, which presently has new 32- bed hospital under construction at Silverton, two miles west of here, is faced with a decision this week on whether to increase the capacity of the hospital by eight beds, Henry Day, chairman, reports.
He physicians recently have called attention of hospital trustees to the impact of Medicare this winter, saying the patient load of those over 65 has been increasing and that local facilities may be strained if the eight-bed expansion at the hospital is not arranged. It could be done by converting one small and one large storage room within the present hospital plan to a two-patient room and a six-bed ward and extending the north wing about feet storage space. If -done now, the cost would be $32,000, which includes 000 for construction and $7,000 for and incidentals, the trustees, point out, saying that their decision to expand would be based on the prospects of obtaining memorial gifts within the next six months in a minimum sum of $70,000.

The bills were sent to the Senate without, recommendation by the Senate Transportation and Defense Committee. Under normal procedure they will be up for final consideration Thursday. Still awaited in the Senate was the bill appropriating $65 million for the public schools in the two period beginning next Burly, 1.
Sen. Don Loveland, chairman of the Joint Finance Appropriations Committee, said technical problems in drafting the measure have prevented completion. Action Predicted It is expected that attempts will be made in the Senate to expand the appropriation, described by educators as inadequate. The $65 million compares with $57.1 million in the current biennium and with the state Department of Education request $71.4 million. The Senate advanced to third reading for probable final consideration today a bill increasing Idaho's legal driving age by one year.
Under present law a 14-yearold completing an approved driver training course can obtain a license good for daytime driving only. A 16-year-old can obtain an unrestricted permit. The bill would increase the ages to 15 and 17. Amendment on Calendar Also put on the final, reading calendar for today a proposed constitutional amendment which would make the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction appointive by the State Board of Education. Establishment of the revolving water development fund proposed by Gov.
Don W. Samuelson is for in a bill introduced House. The carries no appropriation but the governor has suggested funding it with $5 million from the anticipated general fund surplus. The two bills providing for creation of regional airport authorities were introduced by the Senate Judiciary and Rules Committee. Sen.
Sam Kaufman, the chairman, said his committee decided to offer both of them, leaving to the Senate a decision on which, if either, will be ap- proved. Billboard Plan The Senate voted 27-6 to reconsider its defeat Monday of regulating signboards adjacent to public highways. Sen. James Ellsworth, R-Leadore, bill sponsor, said changes would be offered to "make it more palatable." He said changes proposed would water down authority given the State Highway Department to remove existing signboards. Ellsworth said if the measure is not approved the state will lose nearly $3 million annually in federal aid funds.
Two other bills were sidetracked for possible Senate amendment. One revises the port district law and the other would quire that trading stamps be redeemable in cash or merchandise at the place of issuance. Dates Listed for Yakimas' River Fishing YAKIMA (AP)-The Yakima Indian Tribe has set salmon fishing dates on the Columbia River for the coming season. The dates announced by the tribe's Columbia River Fish Commission Monday are from April 7 to May 12, June 4 to July 21, July 30 to Aug. 18 and Aug.
27 to Oct, 6, barring weekends. The commission also set a five-inch minimum gill net size for the June 4 to July 21 dates to permit larger fish to escape. Gill nets are usually to inches in mesh size. Strict enforcement of fishing regulations by Washington and Oregon Authorities last year brought wholesale arrests of Indian fishermen, who within contended they were acting rights.

The Columbia Basin Knife and Fork Club will meet at 7:15 p.m. next Wednesday, March 8, at the Recreation Center here. Speaker will be Cathy Allen, Evanston, Ill. The club's customary Saturday meeting date was changed for the March 8 session. WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate was asked, to recommend slaughter of Yellowstone Park elk be stopped.
Sen. Clifford P. Hansen, R- introduced a resolution to put the Senate on record as posing the killnig by park rangers. The park elk herd has overgrown its image. Rangers are shooting surplus animals and giving the meat to Indians in the area.
Hansen's resolution calls for a study of alternate means of keeping the herd within manageable limits for the protection of its range. The Park Service would be directed to send Congress studies of possible alternate plans. About 15,000 elk have been killed by the rangers in the last 30 years, Hansen said. He suggested animals trapping and moving the would be a superior method of controlling the herd's size: And Farm Storage One certain development, he said, would be an increase in direct movement of grain from farm to upriver terminal ports by truck. More storage is likely as the trucking haul from farm to waterway is shortened by the development of more upriver ports.
Recent moves by the railways to reclaim bulk movement of grain lost to truck-barge operations include sharp rate reductions in 1958 and 1960, and lower rates for multi-car, and jumbo car shipments. New U.S. Agency The multi car rate, first introduced the Northern Pacific on May 6, 1966, already has diverted port-to-port grain traffic from the barge lines and downriver movement to the railroads and cross-Cascade movement to Puget Sound ports. The WSU transportation economist also discussed -the new Department, of Transportation and its probable effect on the Pacific Northwest, and the railroad merger movement underway. Dr.
Nelson said the new department will have a staff competent to analyze alternative investments in competing modes of transport and can subject all proposals more fully to costbenefit and other economic tests of efficient investments. He expressed the opinion that the stricter standards of investments likely to emerge from the Department of Transportation may condemn such projects as the proposed extension of the Columbia waterway, system from Pasco to Rock Island, Wash. Cites NW Assets "This long standing proposal has been carefully investigated and the lack of good prospects for adequate traffic by barge and the tremendous investment of 60-million-dollars or more years ago by the Engiresulted in a some decision, neers not to recommend the extension," Dr. Nelson pointed out. Concerning railway mergers, Dr.
Nelson expressed the belief the Interstate Commerce Commission might reverse its position on the proposed Great Northern-Northern Pacific mer ger if convinced competing railways would not be endangered. Springrose said this part of the country has all the assets required by such new concepts in railroad freight rates as pointto and multi-car rates. He listed the essential outlets as on farm storage, country elevator size, direct outlets to world and natural "transit" markets, are essential to the process of adapting to changes in marketing patterns and handling concepts, Springrose said. Springrose urged the elevator managers and others in the grain trade to make the most of the opportunity to guide the changes in transportation technology through a smooth transition to avoid the abrupt impact on marketing structures that has occurred in other areas. 'Hunt' Begins YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo.
(AP) Despite outcries from sportsmen, conservationists, governors and congressmen, U.S. Park Service rangers are shooting northern Yellowstone elk to reduce the overpopulated herd. Assistant Park Supt. John Clay said 17 elk were shot Mondaythe first day of the program. Rangers have a quota of 25 elk per day in an attempt to cut the herd by about 600 elk to preserve winter feed areas.
Clay said despite protests, the thinning will be continued unless his office receives an order to halt. That order must come from Park Service headquarters in Washington. The park officer said the 17 butchered elk were taken Monday to Livingston, for further processing, and the meat will be distributed through the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Chief Park Naturalist John Good said he doubted if the desired goal of 600 animals will be achieved, because of the warm weather. He noted that 25 elk is about, the maximum to be handled by the meat processing plant at Livingston.
Good and other officials say they believe rangers, went about as far as they could in live ment trapping the parts elk of for. Unit- shiped States. So far, Clay said, 1,044 elk have been sent to points in Wyoming and Montana for resettlement by game and fish officials.
