14 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Tucs., June 13, 1961 Democratic Party Patronage Row Flares Anew On Naminn Attorney PORTLAND (AP) -The Oregon Democratic Party's row over patronage flared up anew this week with more party leaders taking sides. Some 16 prominent Democrats joined in sending a telegram to Sen. Maurine B. Ncuberger, say ing she is hurling both herself and tlio party by her stand. The battle broke out over Presi dent Kennedy's nomination of Sidney Lezak, Portland, for U.S. attorney in Oregon. Rep. Edilh Green, D-Ore., who was Kennedy's campaign chair man in the Oregon primary elec tion, aided in the processing of Lezak's nomination. Published reports indicate Sen. Ncuberger wants assurance of having more voice in future pa tronage in Oregon. She has not said she has any personal objec tion to Lezak for the attorney post. The telegram sent Mrs. Neu bcrgcr Sunday bears the names of some legislative leaders. Oregon's Democratic National Committeeman, C. Girard David son, is accused in the telegram of serving personal, rather than party interests, in the row. Party sources said Davidson wants his law partner, Alan Hart, to get a vacancy that will be com ing up on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals bench. Davidson has complained pub licly that he is being ignored on the question of patronage. The telegram to Sen. Neuberger read: "The publicity in Oregon's Re publican press concerning the Lezak nomination is alarming. We are very much concerned about the consequences which this unfortunate situation will have for the Democratic Party. From your position as reported in the papers, we feel that you have accepted the influence and suggestions of Mr. Davidson. "We believe that your actions and utterances in the affair have already hurt the Democratic Party and you in Oregon, and will con tinue to hurt it badly in the future. Our main concern should be the welfare of the Democratic Party and not personal interests of Mr. Davidson." Harry Boivin, president of the Oregon Senate, was one of the signers. Among other legislative members signing included Sens. Al Klegel, Walter J. Pearson, and Reps. Ed Whclan and W. O. Kcl say. Others were former Rep. Dan Dimick, Dan Bauer, Bill Vanden burgh, Oscar Kendall, Ross Mor gan, Mason Jones, Herbert Gallon and Elaine Burnham. Flegcl was an unsuccessful can didate for Davidson's national committeeman job last November. The patronage row came out into the open in the scheduling of two important party functions, the three-day Western Democratic Party Conference at Timberline Lodge and the Jefferson-Jackson Day fund-raising dinner for the party in Portland Saturday night.

Coll Room 301 or Phone OR 3-7195 H. C. Berg TIMBERLINE LODGE, Ore. (AP) Western States Demo cratic leaders wind up their three day conference here today with more discussions of party prob lems. John Bailey of Connecticut, the Democratic national chairman, reminded delegates to the Sunday session of the West's failure to deliver the votes in the 10 presi dential election. He reminded them that New Mexico, Nevada and Hawaii were the only states among the 13 represented at the meeting which President Kennedy carried. Bailey went on to say: "I do not need to remind you how the votes of the West in 1958 revitalized the party and started the surge that carried us to vic tory in 1960. "Nor do I need to remind you how the West voted in 1960." An afternoon session of the Western States Conference was devoted largely to discussion of patronage problems, but Bailey declined to get caught in it. Neither he nor the national com mittee intend to get involved, he said, adding that patronage "is strictly a do-lt-yourself program" to be handled by state organiza tions. Washington State's Democratic chairman, Herbert Legg, led talks on patronage. Oregon's principal patronage argument is whether Rep. Edith Green, who was President Ken nedy's Oregon campaign man ager, is handling it without con sultation with state party officials. National Committeeman C. Girard Davidson says Mrs. Green is ig noring the party. Sen. Maurine B. Neuberger hasn't said so, but has been pictures as ready to block at least one appointment if party officials aren't consulted. Mrs. Green was in a Washing ton, D. C, hospital for a gall blad der operation, and Mrs. Neuberg er was delivering a speech in Chi cago. Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., sub stituted as a speaker Sunday morning for Secretary of Interior Stewart Udall, who had to return to Washington, D. C. after a Sat urday night speech to a Jefferson Jackson dinner in Portland. Violent Explosions Rip Southern Tyrol BOLZANO, Italy (AP)-Violent predawn explosions ripped half a dozen communities of the dis puted South Tyro Monday, spread ing darkness and terror in the area. A later explosion killed a road worker. Police said the road worker had found a dynamite charge and was about to report to police when it exploded. He was the first fatality of a long-smoldering dispute between Italy and Austria in which extremists demand that Italy grant autonomy to the large German-speaking population. The blasts destroyed a number of steel and concrete towers sup porting electric lines. With repair crews forced to trudge for miles through moun tain terrain to reach some of the wrecked towers, parts of the area may be without power for some time. Seattle Boxer Shot By Police SEATTLE (AP) A professional boxer remained in critical condi tion in a hospital Monday with bullet wounds suffered in a gun battle with police that followed the fatal shooting of a Chinese dime store operator. Police said Elmer Hardy. 30, a heavyweight who was a former sparring mate of title contender Sonny Liston, was shot in the head, arm and side Saturday night during an exchange that came minutes after Ark Ying Chin, 45. was fatally wounded in his small store. Police were unable to establish a motive for the shooting but had learned that Chin and Hardy had argued a few days ago. A clerk told investigators a man entered Chin's store and without speaking pulied a gun and began firing. The clerk, Mrs. Joan P. Allen, 38, said she dodged down to get out of the line of fire, and the man fled. Patrolman F, R. Jones and R. E. Stallman said they saw Hardy a few blocks away and stopped him for questioning because he an swered a radioed description. Hardy refused to halt, they said, and instead opened fire. The pa trolmen returned the fire and Hardy dropped to the sidewalk. PLANS MADE mill Daily vacation Bible school plans were made at a special board meeting of the Umpqua Sunday School, reports Mrs. George Mun son, correspondent. The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Dale Judd. The session will be held at the Sunday School build ing from June 19-23. DEPOSIT HERE Instead of a bite, mailman Jack Orchard gets a beg.

Democrats Hear Udall's Pledge For Full, Wise Use Of Resources PORTLAND (AP) Some 550 Democrats heard Secretary of In terior Stewart L. Udall on his visit here pledged he administration's best efforts to achieve full, wise use of the West's natural resources. Udall criticized what he said was lack of resource develop ment under the Eisenhower ad ministration and the granting of licenses for three private Hells Canyon dams rather than a sin gle large dam. . "We must plan to use resources wisely," he said. "Because of the lack of development in the last eight years, this administration has to run hard just to catch up." Udall expressed vigorous sup port of the bill by Sen. Maurine B. Neuberger, D-Ore., to create an Oregon Dunes seashore nation al park between Florence and Reedsport, saying: "This area should become the prime playground of the country." Udall praised Sen. Wayne L. Morse, D-Ore., who attended, as "one of the few lions left in Wash ington." He said Morse and Rep. Edith Green, D-Ore., have been strong leaders in the fight for fed eral aid to education. Morse received a standing ova tion when introduced. He said he is remaining neutral in the dis pute over allocation of federal patronage between Mrs. Green and Senator Neuberger. Morse said he will cooperate fully with members of the Oregon congressional delegation and ask them to consult with each other and Democratic party leaders on the patronage situation. Morse said he has cleared 11 lawyers for the Oregon U. S. dis trict attorney job. Sidney I. Lezak, a Portland attorney, has been nominated but Mrs. Neuberger has threatened to block him.
