then retired to the sidelines Mon
day night. Those much talked at
individuals, the voters, now decide
things at the polls today.
At stake in the election were
Oregon's six electoral votes in the
race for the presidency, a seat
in the U.S. Senate, all four of the
state's seats in the U.S. House,
and three top offices in the slate
government.
Bumper Turnout
It appeared that there would be
a bumper turnout at the polls.
State Elections Director Jack
Thompson said he thought from
82 to 87 per cent of Oregon's 900,
61S registered voters would step
into voting booths.
The weather appeared to lend
a helping hand. Forecasters said
clouds would streak the skies in
some areas, but added that sun
shine would be general. No rain
is in sight for today.
Leaders of both parties appeared
confident a short time before the
voting began.

The poolsters and predictors
seem agreed that, even more than
usual, the race between Democrat
John F. Kennedy and Republican
Richard M. Nixon hinges on the
"Big Seven" states with their total
of 205 electoral votes a long
way toward the 269 needed to
elect. President Eisenhower took
them all in his 1956 sweep.
Most of them are doubtful this
time, although polls give Kennedy
an edge in the biggest of all. New

a good one for early watching.

Texas, with 24 electoral votes,

C. Girard Davidson of Portland,
a Democratic national committee
man, said on election eve that
Kennedy would carry Oregon but
by a slim margin, 5,000 to 10,000
votes
"Nixon's claim that we never
had it so good is belied by grow.
ing unemployment, the increased
shutdown of lumber and plywood
pianis," ne said.
Demos Hold Lead
Democrats hold a registration
lead of about 75,000 in Oregon,
their largest in the state's historv.
The race that held the major
snare ot interest throughout the
campaign matched Democrat
Maunne Neuberger and Republi
can Elmo Smith for the U.S.
Senate.
The seat was vacated earlier
tins year by the death of Mrs,
Neuberger's husband, Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberger. It was her
initial try for major office. She
earlier served in the Oregon
House.
Smith is a former Oregon gov
ernor, who was defeated after a
short term in office by Democrat
nooere Hoimes in 1956. The bid
for the Senate seat is Smith's first
venture into politics since that
loss.
Vigorous Campaigns
Both conducted vigorous cam
paigns, and met a number of
times in face-to-face debates. They
disagreed over a' wide range of
issues.
Smith Monday predicted a vic
tory for himself. "I expect to win
oecause i nave taken a firm stand
on our grave international respon-
aiuiiiues ana i i nave told the
people what I will do to bring
more job opportunities to Oregon."

appearances in Portland Monday,
and then spent a couple of hours
shaking bands m the St. Johns

Mrs. Neuberger sairi MnnHnv
night that, in looking back on her
campaign, "I got a great deal of
satisfaction out of it. I have no
regrets. I learned a lot about my

Sleeper Vote Seen
Smith said "There's going to be
a real sleeper vote. We've come
up tremendously in the last couple

AU four of Oregon's seats in the
U.S. House were on the ballot to
day. Democrats now hold a 3-1
edge and strived mightily to hold
that margin. These were the con

Three races for top-level state
offices also held major attention
during the campaign. Those races
matched:

Republican Howell Appling Jr. and
Democrat juonroe sweeuana.
Attorney General Incumbent
Democrat Robert Y. Thornton and
Republican Carl Francis.
Treasurer Incumbent Republi
can Howard Belton and Democrat
Ward Cook.
Predictions Feared
While the campaigning drew to
close, Straub and Gunnar both
said they feared that televised
predictions by electronic brains of
the outcome of the presidency
might cause voters to stay at
home in the state. Both said the
predictions would be carried as
fact several hours before polls
closed in the state, and would be
computed from early scattered re
turns along the eastern seacoast.
Gov. Mark Hauield. in turn,
said he also was concerned and
said so in telegrams to the three
major television networks, ine
networks sent telegrams back to
Hatfield Monday night in an ef
fort to calm him.
Said Frank Stanton, president of
CBS: "Each CBS radio and tele
vision affiliate in the Mountain
and Pacific time zones is being
informed it is free not to pick up
early feeds from New York.
Danger Guard .
To guard against dangers
which you emphasize, we will state
on our earlier broadcasts from
New York in connection with the
computer projections substantially
the following: 'As we switch to
the projections of the IBM 7090
computer from time to time, it's
appropriate to remeina you wno
are viewing that no decision will
be final till each eligible voter has
cast his ballot for the candidates
of his choice. The IBM 7090 can
not vote.' "
Spokesman for ABC and NBC
said their projections of the out
come of the race will be carried
as projections and not as predic
tions.

Blue Scout Rocket
Missile In Fizzle
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
The Air Force failed to hurl a
radiation-study payload into space
today when the second stage of
the Blue Scout carrier rocket
burned out too soon.
The rocket was to have hurled
the payload to an altitude of 24,
500 miles in an experiment that
could have led to methods of de
tecting nuclear explosions high
above the earth.
Instead, the rocket assembly
plunged into the Atlantic about
250 miles southeast of Cape Ca
naveral. The four-stage Blue Scout blast
ed off smoothly from this test cen
ter at 8:18 a.m. and was quickly
swallowed in low-hanging clouds.
The Air Force announced two
hours later that "preliminary tel
emetry reports Indicate that an
early burnout of the second-stage
motor reduced the over-all per
formance of the Blue Scout launch
and the vehicle impacted in the
ocean approximately 250 miles
down the atlantic missile range.
