Wins Extension of Zoning County Warned on Including Flood Plain Areas in Boundary "needs flood plain as a safety valve to transport its water," and if filling occurs it just "displaces the problem to another area." This problem is particularly acute in the McNary area, he said, because of the backing up of tributaries like Claggett Creek when the Willamette floods. County Commissioners Harry Carson and Pat McCarthy and some Salem councilmen have favored including the McNary area within the boundary because of large unused parcels of land that could provide economic support for a branch sewer line if the land were developed to urban density.

MARION COUNTY Chief Planner Randy Curtis explained that the county is By RON BLANKENBAKER Staff Writer, Th Statesman More than 100 persons crowded into the Marion County Board of Commissioners hearing room Monday night, most of them to voice a desire to maintain their rural way of life and remain outside a proposed Salem urban growth boundary. This was easily the largest turnout for a hearing on the proposed 72-square mile area urban density development area since informational hearings, followed by formal hearings, began several months ago.

(AP) -President Nixon has aged under the criticisms of Watergate but will never resign, a White House assistant said Monday. "The President's health physically, emotionally and psychologically is first rate, but he has aged and this Watergate is a heavy burden," Dr. John McLaughlin said in an interview. McLaughlin, deputy special assistant to Nixon, said the media and political partisans are behind the assault. "But he treats the matter of resignation with absolute and serene finality," McLaughlin said of Nixon.

McLaughlin was in San Diego to meet with local GOP party leaders. A charter change regarding franchise agreements was placed on the May 28 primary election ballot as requested by an initiative petition with 1,496 signatures.

2 Public Hearings Slated For Dallas on February 8 By PATRICIA POTTS Statesman Correspondent CORVALLIS Mayor Cecil Barker broke a tie vote by the Corvallis City Council Monday night, supporting a City Planning Commission decision to extend the planned development zoning of the present Good Samaritan Hospital site. A neighborhood group headed by Murray Wilson, one of two private property owners in the planned development, had appealed the commission action to the council. Voting to support the planners were Donald Walker, Hugh White, Herb Hammond and Jeff Blixt. Scott Mater disqualified himself from the discussion for reasons that he did not make clear. Representatives of the hospital had requested the extension to allow greater flexibility in future use of the site.

A new hospital is under construction. In other council business: Municipal Court Salem Alfred Bogley, 30, of Madras, pleads innocent to charge of driving while license suspended. Robert K.

The drawing is open for participation by union members, their families and the general public. now working on additions to its flood plain regulations that would allow development only as a conditional use, regardless of zoning, and that ability to avoid flood water displacement would have to be demonstrated by developers. But the branch sewer the commissioners and some councilmen have seen getting support through development of the McNary area would go into a roughly 500 acre area north of Terrace Green Road, between Wheatland Road and Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way, and residents of that area appear overwhelmingly against urban development if Monday's hearing is a true indication. ONE OF THEM, Henry Byer, O'Neil Road, presented signatures of 83 residents of the area in opposition to inclusion in the boundary.

And 67 residents showed up at the hearing, all in opposition. No one living north of Terrace Green Road appeared in favor of being included within the boundary. Residents south of Terrace Green did appear in favor of inclusion, saying their soil is poor for farming and that they would expect future subdivision development. Also appearing in opposition to inclusion within the urban boundary were several residents of the Viewcrest area southwest of Salem. Chief among them was Alfred Winter, 4376 View-crest Road president of the Croisan Ridge Citizen Improvement Assn.

WINTER SAID HIS group supports the urban boundary concept but they feel it would be economically impractical to serve their 370 acres with sewers and water because of steep rocky terrain, and that there are ample acreages adjacent to nearby Sprague High School available for urban development. The commission also heard from Stephen Zielin-ski, 5400 Hazel Green Road NE, an orchardist, who said farming areas within the boundary should be protected against urban development. As food costs increase it is going to be more and more economical to farm small acreages, said Zielin-ski. "A lot of you won't believe that but five years ago you wouldn't believe there could be a gas shortage," he said. 7V2-Cents Rise In Gas Prices Stirs Concern Statesman Nws Service WOODBURN Announcement by a Woodburn service station operator that his gasoline prices would go up seven and one-half cents per gallon Tuesday triggered a concerned reaction from the Woodburn School Board Monday night.

Henderson said the district has already had to cut out field trips and rally buses to hold fuel expenses down. In other business, the board learned that Miguel Salinas, director of the district's bilingual education program, has applied to HEW for funding for the program's fifth and final year. Assistant School Superintendent Jens Robinson told Salinas the board would seek money from the State Legislature to continue the program for a sixth year.

This was Frank F. Reck-endorf, flood hazard analyses coordinator with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service.

Reckendorf, 950 Market St. NE, said he supports the concept of an urban boundary but cautioned about the inclusion of an area of about 400 acres of flood plain including McNary Golf Course and a gravel operation, unless it was to control the property against development. RECKENDORF EXPLAINED that the Willamette River was in Sheridan District, and a Yamhill County map showed it there. Yamhill County I ED has already approved the shift to Sheridan District. In the meantime the Nimrod children have been given permission to continue attending Sheridan schools.

Merrill, special projects manager for the Governor's office, said Monday night producor Michael Douglas and three members of his staff were in Salem Sunday and Monday and are to return to Hollywood today. Among officials with whom they met was Dr. Dean Brooks, superintendent of Oregon State Hospital, where filming will take place. Merrill said no cast has been announced yet, although local casting for extras' parts will be done within the next four to five weeks. His office will announce further details when they become definite, he said.

The screen play, written by Oregon's Ken Kesey of Oakridge, is being rewritten, which is among reasons for the delay in the beginning of production, Merrill said. "Douglas obligations on 'Streets of San Francisco also have slowed him," Merrill added. The final of 24 episodes was completed earlier this month, however. of surveyor be made appointive. "The appointive situation is fine if you get good people," Bentz said.

If the appointments are "bad" and the commissioners, who make the appointments, do nothing to correct the situation, "then you have rotten government at the county level." The present system has good checks and balances, he continued. If one or more commissioners is doing something out of line, the other elective department heads will be more likely to publicly protest; an appointive department head probably would keep quiet because his job would be at stake, Bentz said. MOST OF THE other com-, ments at the hearing were general in nature, although a couple others did express concerns for allowing the aforementioned appointive positions. The next hearing will be 8 p.m. Monday at Silverton Union High School.

By JANET OAVIES Staff Writer, Tha Statesman STAYTON A member of the former Linn County Home Rule Study Committee told about two dozen Marion County residents here Monday night why he is against the latter county's proposed home rule charter. Ron Bentz, Scio, appeared at the third of five public hearings on the Marion study committee's charter proposal, which is scheduled to appear on the May primary election ballot. Bentz said when the Linn committee proposed a charter, which later was defeated by voters, he was the only one of nine to recommend against its presentation to voters.

HE EXPLAINED he endorsed the concept of home rule in all respects except the proposal of eliminating the elective offices of assessor, clerk and treasurer.
