Ml Cold' WorXX to 1IA I ttmptfOluft IWt HFtB NATIONAL WUTHER SERVICE NOAA. US Depl of Commerce Oregon extended weather outlook, Sunday through Tuesday: Western Oregon Dry. Highs 75 to 85, lows in 50s. Eastern Oregon Sunny.

Highs 75 to 85, tows 45 to 55, National weather iv Weather Station By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Airline gets $4.8 million for 4 planes PORTLAND (AP) Five prominent Oregon businessmen have chipped in to help Air Oregon buy four new planes worth $4.8 million, the airline announced Thursday. Herbert Morris, president of the airline, said the backers are newspaper publisher Glenn Jackson of Medford; Richard Parker, head of a Portland con-. sumer finance company; Portland lumberman Robert Dwyer; Gerald Frank of Salem, a member of the Meier Frank department store family and aide to U.S. Sen. Mark Hatfield, and Robert Booth, president of Eugene television station KVAL.

"The new financing will allow Air Oregon to adjust its passenger schedules and be more responsive to public need," Morris said in a press release. "Air service to nearly all of the state has dwindled in recent years as the large airlines reduced their service, and there is a real need for better commuter service." The four planes ordered by Air Oregon are 19-passenger, pressurized twin-engined Swearingen Metro prop-jets manufactured by the Swearingen Aviation Corp, of San Antonio, Tex, a subsidiary of Fairchild Industries. The Air Oregon fleet now consists of 12 smaller twin-engined planes. Morris said the first plane will be deli- vered in late September and the others will arrive in Portland within the next five months. They cost $1.2 million each.

Hatfield introduces plan for landowners WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Mark Hatfield has asked Congress to give private landowners a new legal weapon in squabbles with the federal government. The Oregon' Republican introduced legislation Tuesday that would have the government set up 50 acres of disputed property to a landholder who could prove he had occupied the land for 20 years and had built improvements on it. The land would be sold for $125 an acre. jury; Boatswain's Mate 2nd Class Lloyd Schultz, Lakewood, head and elbow lacerations; and Seaman William Cole, brother of David Cole, Southgate, severe shock.

Coast Guard spokesman Mike Kelley in Seattle said apparently none of the four were wearing lifejackets when they were knocked from the deck of the 210-foot cutter, Venturous, before 11 p.m. Wednesday. Shultz and Cole were retrieved almost immediately. The accident happened when the men were trying to secure a boom that came loose during a storm, as the Venturous went to the aid of a 45-foot fishing trawler, Golden Mist, that was adrift in turbulent seas because of engine failure. The Golden Mist was later towed to Newport, Ore, by a motor lifeboat from the Yaquina Bay station.

The Venturous is a medium endurance cutter out of San Pedro, Calif, currently on fisheries patrol off Oregon and Wash- ington. It has a crew of eight officers and 66 enlisted men. Tentative settlement is reached in strike by California clerks LOS ANGELES (AP) A tentative settlement was reached Thursday night in Southern California's five-day supermarket strike that affected more than 1,000 stores stretching from Bakersfield to the Mexican border, a union spokesman said. The 50,000 striking members of the nine retail clerks unions will return to work Friday pending membership meetings Four men were swept overboard from a Coast Guard cutter from California during a rescue operation 40 miles off the central Oregon coast Wednesday night. Two were rescued, and a search continued Thursday for bodies of the other two.

Meanwhile, the two rescued and a third man were flown by helicopter to a hospital in Coos Bay. And elsewhere, some 15 Coast Guard units were involved in 20 search and rescue operations as strong winds and heavy seas battered the Oregon and Washington coasts. The Coast Guard identified the men lost as Boatswain's Mate 1st Class Ren-aldo Maldonado, 36, of San Diego, and Radioman 3rd Class Richard Beld-ing, 29, Union City, Pa. Jhe two rescued men flown to Coos Bay were Seaman Apprentice David Cole, Southgate, Calif, who has a foot in- Violence erupts at Toledo plant TOLEDO Vehicles carrying workers into the Georgia-Pacific Corp. paper plant at Toledo, near Newport, were damaged Thursday evening as they pushed through a crowd of striking workers and their supporters.

A crowd of about 300 including members of the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers, their wives and children paraded with signs outside the plant. Cars being driven into the plant were reported damaged and the' windows of a bus carrying workers into the mill were shattered with rocks. No injuries were reported, but the Toledo Police Department got requested assistance from the Lincoln County sheriffs department in an effort to control the crowd. Robert Gregg, president of AWPPW Local 13, said the demonstration was the union's way of telling Georgia-Pacific it was "unhappy with conduct during the strike."

Senior Citizens Admission FREE BOB MARX Polk Commission selects Marx DALLAS State Rep. Bob Marx, Monmouth, Thursday became the Democratic candidate for Polk County Commissioner. The county Democratic Central Committee elected Marx on the first ballot to replace Commissioner Alan Miller.

Miller, who won a narrow victory to retain his seat in the May 23 primary election, announced last week he decided to drop out of the race. Marx made an unsuccessful stab at a state Senate seat in the primary election. The Central Commmittee Thursday elected Marx, 24 to 9, over Joe S. Simmons, runner-up to Miller in the primary. Kathi Foisie, administrative aide to Benton County Commissioners, nominated Marx.

"He certainly is one of the best persons able to put together a campaign in the short time left," said Foisie. Marx faces Republican Lyn Hardy, state elections manager, in the November election. Deadline for filing candidate information in the voters phamphlet is next Tuesday. Marx, a part-time law student, also has a homebuilding and appraising business in Monmouth. When asked his position Thursday on land use, Marx said: "We need planned, rational growth that best serves our own lifestyles.
