Ores OXi rpolluti ft on first nation to si OM KDGLCi --ff- JL WASHINGTON Oregon Tuesday became the first state to sign a -water pollution control agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency that gives the state responsibility for administering the waste discharge permit system. The agreement was signed here at a meeting between Gov. Tom McCall and EPA administrator William D. Ruckelhaus. Oregon's standards for permits are equal to, or greater than, the federal standards.

An EPA spokesman said this was a significant factor in reaching the agreement. McCall said he was proud of Oregon's ability to "develop working relationships with federal entities that cut through red tape and get things moving." Under the agreement the EPA would enforce water standards if the state declined to do so. An EPA field office will be opened soon in Oregon. L.B. Day, head of the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) said Oregon cities and industries could save as much as $40 million a year in paperwork costs under the system.

The DEQ will issue municipal and industri- al waste discharge permits consistent with federal and state requirements and will deal with permit applicants and enforce permit provisions. The EPA field station will be in the Portland office of the DEQ. McCall and Day said they hoped the cooperative program would be extended to problems of solid waste disposal and air pollution.

She had difficulty seeing and hearing, she said. There were no radios or television sets in the Oregon delegation, as in many others. Charles O. Porter, Eugene, said this is the first convention he had forgotten to bring a radio. Miss Hall also found politicians and television news celebrities "are really people.

All the time I watched them on television, everyone seemed on such a higher plane." Donna Seifer, 27, Portland, an alternate delegate, was amazed that "no one pays any attention to what's being said on the podium for about the first three hours." endorse The proposal fits in with the report of the Governor's Task Force on Migrant Housing, issued in April, which predicted a severe shortage of adequate migrant housing due to economic conditions and the enforcement of stringent federal regulations. The task force urged that local government agencies take over some existing camps and construct others. The plan has been supported by the housing unit of the Valley Migrant League, which supports the concept of centralized housing, and by the State Housing Division, which provided $10,000 for planning. Voting in favor of the proposal were Miller; Clinton Forbes of the Polk County Board of Commissioners; Al Apperson of Marion County Fire District Myron Hall of the Salem School District; Norman Scott, mayor of McMinnville; Henry Mattson, Marion County Board of Commissioners, and Bill Brown, representing the governor's office. Opposed were Van Driesche; Orville Bernards, Yamhill County Board of Commiss' ers; R.

The breakfast meeting followed a record 11-hour convention session that put the party on record in favor of busing and gun controls but with no stand on abortion or homosexual rights. After the breakfast with the governors of South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Wisconsin, reporters were told nothing was decided as far as the No. 2 spot on the ticket was concerned. Gov.

Patrick Lucey of Wisconsin, a coordinator for McGovern, told reporters, however, break out support for Wayne could feel free to talk to anyone about any thing. I had interesting talks with other delegates about busing, and gay liberation." John Wolf, 24, Portland, said he was surprised at how many votes McGovern forces had during the vital roll-call votes on credentials challenges. "I feel the McGovern camp made us feel the battle would be closer than it was." Pat Allender, 20, Salem, said the long convention sessions "are exciting," she found the real-life convention atmosphere different "it seems a lot more dramatic on television." Constantly milling crowds of people in the convention aisles were irritating to Holly Hall, and, if approved, sent to the FfIA immediately, Bowman said his agency hopes to have the units constructed in time for the next harvesting season. The housing authority staff report concluded that current needs would fil 500 units and, according to COG's report, "therefore, the current proposal for 200 units appears to be well within the concept of response to the minimum housing need." Opposition to the plan came from farmers who oppose government-funded centralized housing. They contend that machines and local labor can soon replace most of the migratory force and that existing camps and tents can take care of the situation in the meantime.

The housing authority envisions that the units will be fully occupied for five months of the year, and about 10 per cent of them will be occupied the rest of the year by "transition" families trying to settle in the area.

Lucey also said the southern and border state governors who attended the morning meeting with McGovern were unanimous that Rep. Wilbur D.

Weary delegates had barely 12 hours off after the longest convention session in the history of either party before tonight's climactic meeting at which McGovern was scheduled to be the first candidate placed into nomination and, when the balloting took place, the party's nominee. California planned to yield to Connecticut when the states were called for nominations so that Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff could nominate the 49-year-old South Dakota senator to head the Democratic ticket this November. The Democratic National Convention, meanwhile, headed toward approval of a platform that mirrors McGovern's views in calling for total U.S.

withdrawal from Indochina and supporting busing to improve educational opportunities. By voice vote, the convention shouted down eight proposals, ranging from endorsement of capital punishment and public-school prayers to a constitutional amendment barring busing, despite a plea by Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace. An aide to Wallace said today that the possibility has become "stronger and stronger" that the governor may bolt the Democratic party and form a third party movement.

Charles Snider, campaign director for the governor, said Wallace was angry that the convention voted down the platform changes he wanted. Besides McGovern, Wallace and Jackson, supporters announced nominating speeches would be made for former Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy; Reps. Wilbur D.

It is noisier, more confused, more important, and the people involved seem more like normal humans than television-image celebrities. These are some of the thoughts sorted out by a half dozen delegates polled by UPI.

Jeanne Caswell, 19, Tigard, said "what really impressed me is that it really matters that you are there, and your vote is important." She also thought it "really neat that I Migrant housing plan Salem Mayor Vern Miller cast the tie-breaking vote Tuesday as the Mid-Willamette Valley Council of Governments (COG) narrowly endorsed a plan to build 200 units of migrant housing in Marion County. The vote on the Marion County Housing Authority's proposal for federal funds for the housing climaxed more than an hour of heated debate before a packed house at the capitol building. Miller is chairman of the COG board, and usually doesn't vote. His decision averted a 6-6 split. COG approval was not required, but housing authority director Bill Bollman said his agency wanted an indication of community support.

The housing authority's plan calls for the construction of 200 units in six areas of the county. Exact locations have not been determined, but they will be close to major agricultural areas. Stayton Mayor Marcel Van Driesche, who opposed the plan because he doesn't think migrant labor will be needed in the future, said his area would give its share of the housing to someone else in the county. Funds for the housing would come from the federal Farmers Home Administration (FHA). The application will be presented to the housing authority board this afternoon in the Sth rh5v2-.
