Pag 12, Jec 2, CopHol Journal, Salem, Ore, Thursday, Oft 3, 1974 OYernoF moves ahead. pans ,4 .4 By ROBERT SHEPARD United Press International The selection of Oregon's next governor is still a month away and the inaugu- -ration not until January, but-planning for the change-over from one administration to another is beginning. The first major chore of the next governor will be to prepare a budget for submission to the 1975 legislature, which convenes Jan. 13. In, 1967, when Tom McCall was' preparing to take over from Gov.

Mark Hatfield, the law required that the old and new governor each prepare formal budgets. The McCall people had to start from scratch and scramble to get their plan out in February, The transition law has since been changed and the outgoing governor is not supposed to publish a formal budget. But the Executive Department staff is proceeding with its usual budget work, and what McCall de scribes as a "looseleaf" budget document will be ready for the new governor in December. "The 'incoming governor will review it, put his stamp on it, with whatever pripri-ties he wants to assign, and then publish it," says McCall's executive assistant, Robert Davis. "He can question the assumptions, the priorities, or whatever, but all of the staff work will have been done." Davis does not expect the new governor's formal budget to contain any major surprises because there- is not a great deal of flexibility in the state's money situation.

The base budget usually takes up about 85 per cent of the anticipated revenues, leaving just 15 per cent to use in. "program' emphasis," he explains. Another task in changing administrations is the sorting out of records from the old regime. Ronald Schmidt, another McCall aide, says the new governor will be left all current files plus any other files he specifically, requests. When McCall moved in following Hatfield's departure, the staff found the file cabinets' bare, a fact that contributed to the animosity between the Hatfield McCall camps that persisted for several years.

Nor were McCall and his staff briefed by the Hatfield administration as the McCall people plan to do for their successors. Schmidt says the records of the McCall administration will be left, total, with the state archives. The transfer of the. records has been under way for four years, and some have already been put on microfilm. McCall is anxious to have the complete record of his eight years as governor available for historians to examine in future years.

As an example, Schmidt cites the 1970 Vortex Festival, which McCall backed as a means of heading off violence during the American Legion convention. "We're sure that historians are going to go into that as one of the highlights of the McCall administration," Schmidt says, so boxes of records on that incident, ranging from the first warnings of trouble to the setting up of a command post in Portland, have gone to the archives. By contrast officials of the archives say Hatfield took most of his records with him when he left the "governor's office. a category that includes partisan political matters and his correspondence concerning the proposed "Third Force" political movement Money has already been budgeted by the legislature to enable the governor-elect and his key staff people to set up a temporary office in the Capitol and begin preparations for assuming power next January. In 1966, the McCall crew consisted of Schmidt, Portland attorney ohn Mosser and Edward Schmidt says McCall will.

The commissioners delayed any action on the matter until further information could be youths had car trouble and pulled into the parking area of the Oak Hills Recreation Center, where they attempted to make repairs, Barnes said.

A newspaper distributor noticed something suspicious about 3:45 a.m. and called the sheriff's office. Barnes said Deputy Jim Spinder, who arrived about three minutes later, found the bodies. Officers believe the youths were killed some time after 2 a.m. Barnes said although the youths lived in other Washington County suburbs they knew residents of the Oak Hills area.

Waw! SEATTLE (AP) For years Puget Sound gillnetters have faced their traditional foes foul weather and poor fish runs to make their livings. One generation passed to the next the knowledge it needed to combat such forces, whether piloting through a storm or finding fish when the run was sparse. But times change and 'Indian treaties signed in the 1850s have been dusted off to haunt them. After several years of legal battles, Judge George Boldt ruled in U.S. district Court last February that several tribes should be allowed to catch 50 per cent of the harvestable salmon returning to their traditional off-reservation fishing grounds.

To assure the Indians their share of the harvest, the state Depart- ment of Fisheries slashed the fall gillnetting season from 12 to four days. Many otherwise law-abiding gillnetters felt no choice but to resort to civil disobedience. Some 200 to 300 fishermen participated in a fish-in Tuesday night; 75 received $250 tickets for illegal fishing. And about 150 boats were operating on lower Puget Sound Wednesday night in protest, Ted Smits, a Puget Sound Association estimated. "It was kind of depressing," said Blaine Anderson, who didn't receive a ticket "I'd never fished illegally.

It was the first time and I just didn't like it" Russ to leave SEATTLE (UPI)The Soviet hake fleet is scheduled to leave the fishing grounds off the West Coast today.
