Secondary, Statement Of His
Declared Candidacy Stresses
SALEM m Republican Gov.
Paul Patterson of Oregon an
nounced Saturday he would run
for the U. S. Senate eat held by
Democrat Wayne Morse.
Patterson, who inherited the gov
ernorship Dec. 17, 1952, when ex
(lav. Douglas McKay was ap
pointed secretary of the Interior, is
a staunch supporter of President
Eisenhower.
Morse also will seek re-election.
He was elected in 1944 and 1950 as
a Republican, but hecame a Demo
crat after the election of President
Eisenhower.
Patterson's statement Said:
"I will be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for United
States senator.
"The issues in this campaign are
clear. There are fundamental dif
ferences between my political phil
osophy and that of Sen. Wayne
Morse.
"A United States senator must
be responsible to all of the people
of his state, regardless of their
political affiliations or their eco
nomic interests. ,
"lie must never abandon that
responsibility to further his per
sonal political theories. Oregon
must be represented in the United
States Senate by one whose actions
faithfully and consistently . reflect
the beliefs of the majority of her
citizens, 1 will direct my energies
to that end.
"The nennlo of Oregon have
elected me governor. This Is my
job. My duties are demanding and
lime consuming. I shall use the
time and energy remaining to lane
directly to the people my beliefs,
my stand on issues, and my record
ol service to urcgon.
In the May 18 Republican pri

effort to repeal the 21-year-old
stale law which allowed the state
to fix milk prices and set produc
tion quotas for dairy producers,
This law was defeated by the peo
ple in 1954.
Patterson, however, is an over
whelming favorite to beat Deetz.

VISITORS at the Roseburg police station Saturday were
these four tots, all under six years. Sgt. Melvin Taylor
took them there after removing them from a cold car on
Main Street. Father of the children, Howard Charles Blan

pear in municipal court Monday afternoon on a charge of
leaving the children unattended. He told police he left
the children alone while he went to a lawyer's office. He
knew it was wrong, h said. (Staff photo)

Patterson has been pressured by
many Republican leaders to run
against Morse. Some of these lead
ers regard him as the only hope
the GUP has of defeating Morse.
So far, Morse has no opposition
in the Democratic primary.
Patterson and Morse, despite be
ing bitter political foes, have sev
eral things in common. Each is 55
years old. They are lawyers and
members of the congregational
Church, and each has a wife and
three children. Each has a keen
mind, and they are skilled debat
ers. After being graduated from the
University of Oregon law school in
1926, Patterson settled in the rural
town of Hillsboro to practice law.
He served four sessions in the
State Senate from 1945 to 1951. In
the latter year, he was Senate
president, placing him first in line
of. succession to the governorship.
After inheriting the office from
McKay, Patterson served two
years before seeking election to a
four-year term. This was the first
time he ever ran for statewide of
fice.
Succastfull Legislator
In the 1054 primary, he easily
won the nomination, bra ting Sec
retary of State Earl T. Newbry
146,211 to 51,991.
In the general election, Patter
son scored another easy win, beat
ing Joseph K. Carson Jr., Demo
cratic former mavor of Portland.
1 322,522 to 144,179. In that election,
Oregon, lor tne tirst time in iu
years, elected a Democrat to the
t. S, Senate Richard L. Neuber
ger. He has had good success with
the Republican-controlled Legisla
ture. Tne 1955 Legislature passed
his proposals for higher state in
come taxes, bigger unemployment
benefits, and creation of a water
resources board to referee disputes
over uses of water.
Morse first was elected hy a
95,000-vole margin in 1914. In 1950,
he was reelected by 2fi0,000 votes.
The big issue of the campaign
will be the Eisenhower-McKay pol-,
icv of building power dams in I
partnership between government j
agencies ana power companies.
Patterson favors this policy, but
Morse bitterly opposes it.
If Patterson is elected to tne I
Senate, State Senate President
Elmo Smith, John Day weekly
newspaper publisher, would suc
ceed him, serving the remaining
two years of the term.
The deadline for filing candi
dacies is March 9.

Russia's Phony
'Friendship'
Bid Rejected
WASHINGTON im President
Eisenhower Saturday turned down,
in effect, a Soviet proposal for a
20-year United States-R u s s i a n
friendship treaty but left the door
open for further talks between the
two countries.
The White House made public
Soviet Premier Bulganin'a mes
sage to the President earlier this
week, Eisenhower's reply and the
draft of a friendship treaty which
the Soviet premier had enclosed.
Bulganin proposed that the Uni
ted States and Russia agree "in
conformity with the provisions of
the charter of the United Nations
to settle all their international dis
putes by peaceful means."
Eisenhower said in reply that
"the present state of international
tension" has been brought about
by the Russians and "was not pre
vented by the words of the (Uni
ted Nations Charter."
"How can we hope that the pres
ent situation would be cured mere
ly by repeating those words (of
the charter) in a bilateral form?"
the President asked Bulganin.
He went on to say:
"I wonder whether again going
through a treaty-making proce
dure, and this time on a bilateral
basis only, might indeed work
against the cause of peace by
causing the illusion that a stroke
of a pen had achieved a result
which in fact can be obtained only
by a change of spirit."
Actions Demanded
Eisenhower then called on the
Soviets to show by their actions
that they really want peace.
Specifically, Eisenhower urged
Bulganin to join the West in
"prompt measures to re-unify Ger
many in freedom within the frame
work of security" and to carry
out such other steps as trying to
agree on the Eisenhower "open
sky" program mutual aerial in
spection of arm isnts.
In these and hsr ways, the
President said, the United States
is "prepared at a. n moment to
move in a spirit of conciliation."
"May I hope," Eisenhower told
the Soviet leader, "from your let
ter that you, too, are dedicated to
these great ends? I shall look for
ward to receiving a further ex
pression of your views."
Eisenhower, Eden Plan
For Middle East Peace
(Continued from Page One)
mants say Eisenhower and Eden
will discuss every problem of com
mon interest in the world.
The problems include:
1. Eden would like to relax trade
controls and expand commerce
with Red China and the Communist
bloc generally. Eisenhower is de
scribed as strongly opposed.
2. Eden would like to bring the
long struggle over seating Red
China in the United Nations to an
end, although he may not press
the Issue forcefully since tiiis is
an election year Here. Eisenhower
is on record as strongly opposed
to Red China's U.N. membership.
3. Eden wants American support
in his argument with Saudi Arabia
over the Buraimi oasis and sur
rounding land which may produce
oil. Eisenhower had resisted be
coming deeply involved. The Unit
ed Slates has a huge investment in
oil lands which Saudi Arabia con
trols.
4. Eden would liko to sec some
kind of agreement to "restrict and
regularize tests of atomic wea
pons. Eisenhower does not foresee
the possibility of such agreement,
although Dulles said recently that
the United States also would like
to have it. He said no formula
whieh would surely work had been
found.
