Steiger said there is no justification for this, adding that "the only justification is that they made a real good It would be too expensive to increase payments to other counties with national forests, so Steiger said he will seek to reduce the payments to these 18 to equalize matters. "This has been tried before," unsuccessfully, he said. Asked about a report that he acted following a disagreement with Rep.

James Weaver, Steiger said he had planned the action previously. But the disagreement "was the motivation for revealing it at that moment," Steiger said. "Congressman Weaver is prone to discussing matters he really doesn't understand," Steiger added. Weaver could not be reached for comment.

SALEM (AP) Judge Richard Barber of Marion County Circuit Court authorized foreclosure of Colegio Cesar Chavez in Mt. Angel Monday. But he postponed a final decree because of a cross complaint by the Oregon State Employment Division, which he said should be decided first.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The judge said he would rule on the state claim in about a week.

Bureau of Land Management. Steiger said the payments are an inequity, giving the 18 Oregon counties approximately five times the amount received by other the property declared surplus. Moves toward foreclosure started in February when the college failed to make a $10,000 payment. The debt is a federal mortgage on campus buildings. It has existed since the Order of Benedictine Sisters ran the school as Mt.

Angel College. The name was changed in 1973 when the school began operating with a mainly Mexican-American orientation.
