Newman is scheduled to appear in almost every scene left to film. Filming began on the coast here June 22 and was scheduled for completion around Labor Day in September. The movie is based on the novel by Oregon author Ken Kesey. State police were redirecting traffic away from the park Wednesday where the film was and was taken to North Lincoln Hospital for X-rays. Newman was not hospitalized, but he was placed in a cast nearly to his knee.

The result, Patman said, is that "these citizens have either been installed in slums or have been saddled with long-term mortgages in far greater amounts than the worth of their property, or both."

Bjork confirmed that two members of the Linfield College board of trustees had resigned, partly because of the college's financial stituation and in disagreement with the current ad-i ministration. The resignations were from two retired Salem men,) Hugh A. Dowd, 750 Tillman Ave. SE, a physician, and Guy Hickok, 9905 State St.

Named as delegates to the State Republican Convention which will be held in Eugene this weekend were Russell Eyerly, Betty Eyer-ly, George Goesch and Marshall Jones. With the exception of Eyerly, all of the persons elected Wednesday were the same as the ticket proposed at the June 24 meeting by the Committee for Republican Victory. Smith ruled that Mike Becker, who had been the original choice for a delegate position, was ineligible because he had been elected as treasurer earlieri been the nominating committee's choice, could be nominated. Becker refused and the vote on the motion to close nominations passed by a 33-18 vote. "I know I must be at a Republican meeting.

It certainly isn't democratic," one of the moderates was overheard to say after the balloting on the motion.

Then someone asked if the list of candidates who had been recommended by the nominating committee named by former County Chairman Robert Hamilton would be read. Elfstrom said the nominating committee had no status with the new central committee and that all nominations had to be made from the floor.

Elfstrom then asked Mike Becker, who had made the motion to close nominations, if he would withdraw it so that Jim Twedt, who had can group appeared bitter at the conservative takeover. About 80 persons attended the standing room only reorganization meeting held in the courthouse Wednesday night. It was the biggest turnout at a county central committee here in years. Although there appeared to be a majority of moderates at the meeting Wednesday, they couldn't vote. Only the persons who were elected as precinct committeemen in the May primary election were allowed, under state law, to cast ballots.
