How ard Morgan, Democratic represen tative from Clackamas county key noted the convention Saturday af ternoon. C. Girard Davidson, as sistant secretary of the interior, addressed the convention on the Columbia Valley Administration. Davidson termed the warning of a coming octopus of federal con trol in the proposal for the Colum bia Valley Administration “mis guided understanding and mali cious propaganda which is at tempting to defeat the proposal.” Davidson stated the home rule demands were a false issue. “Right now you have to go to Washing ton, D. C., for consultation—an ex pensive and difficult procedure. Under a Columbia Valley Adminis tration, headquarters would be es tablished in this region and its three directors would be required to undertake consultation with lo cal groups." Other officers elected by the Young Democrats were: John Winkler, Portland, first vice-presi dent: Dale E. Gibson, Salem, sec ond vice-president; John O. Chatt, Eugene, third vice-president; Alan I Carson, Jr., Salem, fourth vice I president, Marion Foster, Oswego, fifth vice-president; William Link later, Eugene, sixth vice-president; June Dryden, Klamath Falls, sev enth vice-president; and David Cromwell, Corvallis, eighth vice president.
