Porter outlines issues, reaches
for May congressional race
The Democratic nomination for U.S.
Representative for District Four prom
ises to be a tough battle. Charles Porter,
a former U.S. Congressman, is challeng
ing incumbent Jim Weaver in the May
primary.
Porter spoke at the Lane Domo Forum
Monday, outlining his reasons for run
ning and the issues in his campaign.
"I believe the voters are entitled to a
choce,” said Porter. “I think it's a luxury
that the Democrats can have a divided
primary."
Porter feels there is a “difference in
background and temperament” bet
ween him and Weaver, and that he has
“more experience and morth strength in
depth.”
One important issue to Porter is re
form of the FBI and the CIA. He regards
the investigation of individuals by the
FBI as “a waste of the taxpayers'
money, but most of all, it has a chilling
effect on free speech." He feels the CIA
provides an essential service, but it
“should act according to law.
“The real answer is in electing a pres
ident who has morals and won’t let these
organizations get out of hand,” he said.
Gun control does not receive Porter’s
full approval, but he does support the
registration of hand guns, a position he
opposed earlier.
“I’m very conscious of the danger of a
police state," said Porter, and added
that he believes banning hand guns
could be a step in that direction. But he
says “registration of guns would not
seriously affect our right to own hand
gunc ”
Porter is a strong proponent of full
employment and “tough, effective" tax
reforms aimed particularly at the rich. He
also supports election reforms to pre
vent the donations of “dirty money" to
politicians, the nationalization of arma
ments and he takes a strong position
against clearcut logging.
“I don’t duck controversy, but I don’t
seek it either,” said Porter. “I won’t go
along with what I think is wrong.”
Candidate urges gun control
Urging the ban of "Saturday
Night Specials' (short barreled
pistols and revolvers) in Oregon,
Republican candidate for State At
torney General, Lyndon "Tuck"
Wilson outlined his campaign plat
form in a noontime speech at the
University Law School.
One of three Republican candi
dates seeking nomination, Wilson
is a Portland attorney who has
spent 15 months as deputy to
Secretary of State Clay Meyers
His controversial stand on gun
control has been met with sur
prise, skepticism and statewide
attention, but Wilson believes that
the time has come for "an unemo
tional look at the question of gun
control.'' He does not propose to
outlaw guns completely, but in
addition to banning the sales of
"Saturday night specials" he
favors:
•Requiring registration of gun
owners and licensing of dealers.
•Limiting authority to issue
concealed handgun permits to the
state police.
•Requiring a license to buy
ammunition.
•Making violations a felony.
"Tuck Wilson
Wilson s platform also includes
making the Attorney General of
fice non-partisan and initiating
a statewide-supported program to
compensate victims of crime
through the State Workmen's
Compensation system.
Stating that the capital punish
ment issue "is a red herring," Wil
son instead concentrated on the
problem of Oregon s current sys
tem of sentencing by which crimi
nal offenders can obtain parole
after only serving a fraction of their
sentence Wilson says one of the
reasons for early parole is a result
of senous overcrowding at state
penitentianes and other detention
facilities.
“Perhaps we could confine the
hardened convicts at the max
imum security facility in Salem,
while assigning others to regional
facilities," he said.
Jackson predicts N. Y. victory
in last-minute campaigning
(AP) — Three Democratic can
didates, in the final countdown to
another primary day, spent Mon
day trying to parley their pre
election predictions into post
election claims of success what
ever the actual results.
Sen. Henry Jackson was in
New York, where he has predicted
victory as part of his strategy to
sweep the northeast industrial
states. Rep. Morris Udall and
Jimmy Carter did their last-minute
campaigning in Wisconsin, scene
of today s other primary.
Both Udall and Carter say they
will win in Wisconsin and polls
there indicate a dose race be
tween the two, with the former
Georgia governor holding a slight
lead in the latest. Carter has said
that if he wins in Wisconsin and
finishes a strong second in New
York, he could be unbeatable.
Udall, who has not yet won a
pnmary, needs a victory in Wis
consin and a good showing in
New York to begin overtaking the
early momentum Carter built by
winning five of the first six Demo
cratic contests.
Ronald Reagan, meanwhile,
began a tour of Texas as part of
his Sun Belt strategy to wrest the
Republican nomination from Pres.
Ford.
Reagan, winner in North
Carolina two weeks ago, did not
campaign in Wisconsin, depend
ing instead on the nationwide ad
dress he made last Wednesday.
Aides say they do not expect him
to defeat the President there. Ford
campaigned in Wisconsin over
the weekend and has predicted
victory
