Vic Atiyeh today asked Oregonians to ask not what the state of Oregon can do for them, but what they can do for their state. "I ask the people of Oregon I challenge you to back your demands for less government and less taxes with a commitment to do for each other in person much of what we have been asking government to do for us," Atiyeh said in his inaugural address this Atiyeh vowed to streamline state government without sacrificing its services. "The call for tax relief is not a mandate to close our hearts, it is a mandate to open our eyes to spending which is wasteful," Atiyeh said in a prepared speech given to a joint session of the 60th Legislative Assembly.

Atiyeh is Oregon's 32nd governor and 20th GOP chief executive of the state. Atiyeh, a veteran of 20 years in the Legislature, said he was thrilled at being elected governor. The job eluded him four years ago, when he lost to Democrat Bob Straub. In a November rematch, Atiyeh defeated incumbent Straub. "It's a beautiful day in Oregon," Atiyeh said on an overcast day in Salem.

AUyeh Amenca's first state chief executive of Arab descent, quoted former Israeli Premier David Ben-Gurion to underscore his own commitment to the work ethic. "The true right to a country springs not from political or governmental authority, but from work," Atiyeh quoted Ben-Gurion as saying. Atiyeh warned of the harmful effect of Oregonians abandoning "our sense of community." "Our tax dollars have too often been used to buy escape from personal responsibility, and we are the poorer for it," he said. "My friends, government can do many things, but it can't hire love," he added. State government will lead by example, be said, adding that be will soon art-Turn to HOUSE, Page 7A 364-HELP! HELP!

How were those people chosen? Turner. The prosecution's case cannot be appealed, said David Gernant, legal counsel for the state Supreme Court. "Under no circumstances that I know of can the prosecution appeal a case, especially if the defendant is acquitted by a jury. That's it. Any mistakes made by the judge in favor of the defendant cannot be corrected," he said.

The issue of an appeal by the prosecution has been rejected before, he said. Jury panels in Marion County are selected at random from the lists of registered voters.

A time like this may never come your way again," Gov. Vic Atiyeh said with enthusiasm today as he concluded his inaugural speech to a packed audi ebels claim control of Cambodia alive and fighting somewhere in Cambodia. He said the Chinese are in radio contact with them. (Details, Page SA) Thailand closed its 500-mile eastern border to Cambodian refugees but allowed about 800 foreigners from Phnom Penh, most of them claiming to be Chinese diplomats, to cross the frontier. President Carter, on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe after a four-power Western summit, said he had heard Phnom Penh had fallen, but he refused to discuss the situation.

White House aides with Carter said privately that the invasion supported predictions by national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski that the Soviet Union and China would fight a "proxy war" using the armies of their Vietnamese and Cambodian allies. The reported fall of Cambodia would end one of the most radical social experiments in this century. Reports from Cambodian refugees said it also was one of the bloodiest. Communist forces who captured ft Phnom Penh in April 17, 1975, after a five-year war with the Lon Nol government, forced most the capital's 2 million residents into rural farming communes in a bid to build a self-sufficient agricultural economy. One million or more Cambodians were reported executed in the drive.

City street sweeping crews are diverted to salt and gravel spreading after a snowstorm, Van Wormer said. They work in two shifts from 4 pjn. to 8 ajn. Then regular maintenance crews take-over to make street sanding a 24-hour operation, he said. The city has three graders for snow removal and four trucks designed to spread the gravel and salt mixture in a 16-foot swath, he said.

If six or more inches of snow falls, then the city begins using its one snowplow, he said. Rice said the city has used about 100 tons of salt and 300 cubic yards of gravel this year. The salt comes from a firm in Salt Lake City, and the gravel from local rock-crushing plants, he said. The gravel costs about $3 a ton and the salt about $4.50 a ton, Rice said. That makes the total spent on materials for snow removal about $1350.

Labor figures are not yet available, he said, but four men per crew work the street sanding detail. He said this will be the first year an accurate accounting of snow removal costs will be made. 2D0 tvemm Miles rX. o1ggjg Phnom Penh, JSS Reported Copfwed sworn in In Gov.

Meanwhile, the travelers' advisories posted all Sunday night will remain in effect through tonight for Salem and vicinity. The temperature hovered near the mid-20s through most of the morning. By 11 am the temperature in Salem had moved up to 29 degrees.

In the Mid-Willamette Valley, cold temperatures have been responsibile for treacherous road conditions and several school closures. 1 Oregon State police said there were a lot of minor accidents, "cars sliding into ditches." However, they said there were no major accidents involving injuries.

Salem police requested that people who want road conditions call 378-6532 rather than calling the department's number. This morning Salem schools opened on time, but Sacred Heart Academy in Salem and the Dallas schools opened an hour late.

Most of the schools in Yamhill County were closed today, except for some nursery schools and schools in the Newburg District. Salt bad for the ice, and for your car, too BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) Vietnam's Cambodian rebel proteges claim complete control of Cambodia after reportedly capturing the capital of Phnom Penh and driving Premier Pol Pot's government into the countryside, but analysts here said today the government was trying to organize a force to fight the insurgents.

The analysts said the Cambodian leaders were trying to set up a line of resistance near Siem Reap in northwestern Cambodia. The rebels claimed they were in control of the area, about 320 miles northwest of Phnom Penh. Vietnam and its Soviet allies also reported the fall of Phnom Penh on Sunday but there was no independent confirmation. The rebels, led by Heng Samrin, a defector from the Pol Pot government, claimed the local population aided their offensive, but most analysts say Vietnamese troops did most if not all of the fighting. Oil tanker jn Ireland? Picture, Page 2A BANTRY, Ireland (UPI) Twin explosions tore through a French supertanker docked near Ireland's biggest oil terminal today, ripping the vessel in two and hurling dozens of crewmembers to their deaths in a sea of flaming oil.

Harbor officials said 49 men 42 crewmembers and seven dockworkers died in what was believed the worst oil tanker disaster to date in terms of lives lost. The French tanker had un- loaded about two-thirds of its more than 30 million gallons of oil when the first blast ripped the vessel appart shortly before 1 a.m. as it was docked at a Gulf Oil ocean terminal. A second blast immediately followed, shaking every home in the nearby town of Bantry. Column starts Bill Bebout, formerly editorial page editor of the Capital Journal, has taken on a a new role: daily columnist.

His column appears today on Page IB. Vietnam, quoting the rebel media, said today the insurgents set up an eight-member People's Revolutionary Council in Phnom Penh headed by the front's president. It listed the names of seven other members each charged with Cabinet-type duties. Several Western experts as well as Thai intelligence sources said fighting in some areas of Cambodia was continuing and that the Vietnamese were launching air strikes, mopping up, and moving westward from Phnom Penh. The Soviet news agency Tass reported that the rebel council had "assumed complete power" in Cambodia.

A Chinese government official in Pek-ing said the fall of Phnom Penh had been anticipated by China, the Cambodian go-. vernment's chief ally, but "Cambodia is fighting on." Prince Norodom Sihanouk, the former Cambodian chief of state who flew from Phnom Penh to Peking Saturday, told a news conference in the Chinese capital that Pol Pot and his government were explodes ynjng 49 First reports said the explosions appeared due to a gas leak. The oil-slicked sea burst into flames that quickly spread to the oil terminal jetty on. Whiddy island in Bantry Bay, about two miles away. As frantic families fled the island in rowboats, fireman battled to keep the blaze from reaching a maze of storage tanks at Ireland's biggest oil terminal.

The complex is capable of holding almost one million tons of crude oil and officials said it usually is kept almost full. Six hours after the first explosion, firefighters said they were containing the blaze and the danger to the main storage tanks appeared diminishing. The Betelgeuse began to sink in a sea of flames, with rescuers unable to reach crewmembers' bodies floating on the fiery surface. Vivion O'Callaghan, owner of the Bantry Bay Hotel, described it as a "towering inferno" and said the "whole sky seemed to be in flames." Bantry Bay, one of Ireland's most beautiful natural harbors, is on the southwest coast, about 200 miles southwest of Dublin. There were fears a resulting oil slick could pollute miles of sce-N nic coastline.

By MICHAEL ROLLINS Capital Journal Reporter Wash the underside of your car when the weather clears up. The City of Salem has spread 100 tons of salt on city streets after recent snowstorms and icy conditions, and the salt on the car can cause corrosion of the metal. The city uses a mix of one part salt to four parts fine gravel, depending on the severity of road conditions, B. T.

Van Wormer, deputy public works director, said The cost to the city so far this winter for snow and ice removal has been about $1350 for gravel and salt and the salaries of four men per shift for three 24-hour shifts, Bill Rice, street maintenance foreman, said. Glen Schroier, of the Skyline Ford body shop, said the salt could eventually rust the underside and fenders of a car. He said cars from the East Coast, where salt commonly is used on streets, often have extensive corrosion. He recommended rinsing the underside of the car. Van Wormer said for light, fluffy snow, straight gravel is used.
