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.

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

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.
