GOP May Have
Vote Recounted
PORTLAND-(AP)-The Repub
licans have opened an investiga
| tion of the close election in which
Democrat Richard L. Neuberger
unseated Republican Senator Guy
Cordon of Oi-egon, the state Re
publican chairman said Monday.
They are looking for irregu
larities that might lead to a
demand for a recount, said Ed
Boehnke, head of the Oregon Re
publicans.
Boehnke said the Republican
national committee sent Stanley
Beattie. Detroit attorney and
special counsel for the party, to
Oregon to conduct the investi
gation. He arrived Saturday, but
has not yet had time to reach
any conclusions, Boehnke said.
Neuberger's election gave the
Democrats 48 and the Republi
cans 47 seats in the senate. With
independent Senator Wayne
Morse of Oregon promising to
vote with the Democrats, that
gives control of the next senate
to the Democrats.
If a recount could overturn
the result, it would throw the
senate into a tie vote. That
would allow Vice-President Nix
on, presiding officer in the sen
ate, to cast a tie-breaking vote
that would allow the Republicans
to organize the next senate.
The official canvass of votes
gave Neuberger 285,775 to Cor
don’s 283,313, a margin of 2462
for Neuberger. He was the first
Democrat elected to the senate
from Oregon in 40 years.
