It is the Party Harmony Theme Of Meet EUGENE (AP) The theme of party harmony was stressed by three Democrats mentioned as leading contenders for the party's 1962 nomination for governor, in speeches at a Lane County Dem ocratic picnic Sunday. The three were Oregon Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton; Robert Duncan, Medford, speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives, and State Sen. Walter Pearson, Portland. None of them, however, dropped any serious hints about possible candidacy for any office. "No problem stands out so strongly as party harmony," Dun can told the picnic crowd. The Democrats always have been able to "come up in time of crisis with capable men," said Duncan, "and yet, today we have taken on our selves the charasteristics of a minority party split into fac tions." Thornton praised Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., who will be a can didate for reelection in 1962. "We will reelect Wayne Morse, no mat ter who they put up against him," said Thornton. But Thornton warned the crowd of 250 persons that the Democrats must hold on to their thin lead in the state house of representatives by "hard work at all levels." Pearson, former president of the Senate, continued the harmo ny theme. "Every Democrat who wants to win in 1962 must forget personal differences and work for the party nominee, Pearson said And, he added: "The governor (Republican Mark: o, Hatfield) is not unbeatable."

EDWARDS Timber Sales 1961 Drop net payment after deduction of $7.2 million which the counties have voluntarily made available for con struction of forest access roads and reforestation of cleared forest lands. Two Services Contribute The half-million O&C acres un der administration of the Forest Service grossed $3,441,245.17. BLM receipts totaled $25,468,099.99. In releasing the checks for dis tribution, Secretary of Interior Stewart L. Udall said: "The OCJt project is one of the most success ful forestry enterprises of the fed eral government. Despite the cut ting of more than 10 billion board feet of timber since 1937, the vol ume of timber on these lands to day is greater than when the man agement program was initiated." U. S. Moon Shot Gets Slow Start HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) "We re making a slow start to the moon. This statement, made in jest by an official of the National Aero nautics and Space Administration had a touch of irony in it today. While three of the four major components of this nation s moon- shot rocket the Saturn were slowly floating down the Missis sippi River in a barge, the world was congratulating the Soviet Un ion on its manned second orbital flight. The Saturn booster aboard the barge was developed at the Mar shall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Its size 82 feet high and 22 feet in diameter pro hibited transportation except by water. While the rocket in flight will reach speeds up to five times the speed of sound, it is being car ried to a rendezvous with missile testers in Cape Canaveral, Fla. at the painfully slow pace of around 10 miles an hour. The' 2,200-mile trip which be gan early Saturday morning, is expected to take at least two weeks. Present plans call for testing tne tirst stage, with dummy sec ond and third stages and inert nose cone on top, later this year. The Saturn isn't expected to be come operational, however, until 1965.

Douglas County's Business Takes Slight Drop In July Economy of Douglas County, ex cept the areas of Itcedsport and Glendale, took a slight dip during July, a report of the Oregon State Unemployment Compensation Com mission said today. The report noted that a sum mary report of retail merchants indicated a decline in gross sales as compared to the previous month and July of one year ago. According to the report issued by F. C. Riley, manager of the Rose burg office of the commission, a few business firms reported an in crease which "may be attributable to changes caused in relocation of other business establishments." Strik Hurts Unsettled conditions in the heavy construction industry have un doubtedly had an effect on the vol ume of wholesale and retail trade, the report said. Riley said employment is con tinuing at a fairly high level in spite of a higher-than-aver-aee claims load. During July, 628 persons claimed unemployment compared to 594 in June and 365 the previous July. The average weekly number of persons claynmg a week of job lessness during July was 604 com pared to June when 635 claimed joblessness. A year ago tne aver age was 334. New job applications during July totaled 419 compared with June when 486 applications were made out and July 1960 when 259 were filed.

ORchord 2-2689 BeMiSAVINGs!!.L0AN ASSOCIATE 1 1 wri-V jy '1 One-hundred fifty persons were placed in non-agricultural jobs compared with 1W in June and 127 in July 1960. Some job curtailment has result ed lately in the plywood and wood products industries, Riley said. This is partly because of vaca tions, cleaning up of closed de partments and reduction in person nel because of new machinery, he said. Construction other than that af fected by the labor dispute between the hoisting and portable engin eers union and private contract ors is up in the county. For the month of July, the report states, 42 building permits were issued for $901,069. In June 57 permits were issued for $142,721 and in July 1960 permits issued for $64, 087. Riley said job opportunities for the next 30 days should maintain the same level as July. Indications are that most of the hiring will be of a replacement nature, he said.
