Light Vot I Indicated
n Primary Election
(Continued from Page One)
with more than 600 voters regis
tered: Despite perfect weather
with a light breeze and a sunny
sky. only 30 votes were cast In the
first two nours.
As predicted, there had to be
hot local issues to bring out the
vote. At Pendleton, the courthouse
precinct reported 44 votes at 10:30
m. which was only 10 less than
the number cast by noon two
vears ago. There was keen interest
in the legislative race and a tix
levy there which may have been
responsible for the 44.
Baker, with only a city official
contest for a local issue, reported
an estimated 200 voters had cast
ballots in 1? precincts by 10:30
a. m. That is less than 4 per cent
or tne registered total.
A mid-mcnlng check of Port
land precincti stowed about 10 per
cent of the vote cast. In the 19M
nrimary e.ectisn the percentage at
the same honr was 15 and in tne
general election it was 28.

Underwriters
Endorse Social
Security Change
The Umpqua Basin Life Under
writers Assn. has endorsed the
program of the national organiza
tion toward proposed revisions of
the Social Security system, re-
?i" riS.
the local members at the Ump
qua Hotel Thursday.
Underwriters take the position,
Carter states, that the Social Se
curity system was designed to pro
vide a "basic minimum" subsis
tence level. New proposals, it is
contended, tend to replace the
"basic minimum" theory with an
"adequate" policy by means of
"natch-work revisions." Increases
in benefits, it is contended by the
underwriters, "will carry the So
cial Security program out of the
area of basic needs and invade the
field of private savings plans."
Favorne extension of Social
Security coverage to all gainfully
employed persons, and advocating
liberalization of the work clause,
underwriters, Carter reports, in
surance people contend that pro.
posed changes would result in pro
portionately nigner increases in
benefits to retired workers in the
higher income brackets rather
than to tnose n tne lower wage
groups. This, he said, is a further
deviation from the basic minmum
needs concept. The life insurance
agents believe that if increased
benefits are necessary at this
time, they should be provided pri-
SEr wage le'vcis,
