Thurs., Nov. 22. 1973 (Sec 1» SANDY (Ore.) POST - 7 Area people elected to 4-H committee By G eorge M acA levy By G E O R G E M a c A L E V Y We have been hearing a lot lately about a credibility gap in the statements and behaviour of a certain political figure He was, however, well established in his present office before the chain of events which led to this credibility gap When you are running for an office, I would think it wise to avoid a credibility gap until after you get elected. Now, we are presented with a woman candidate for governor. In itself, that is a good thing. Women have been successful as legislators, representatives, and senators Women mayors have been good at that office, so there is no reason to suspect a woman would not make a good governor, providing she did not establish a credibility gap even before the primary. But the first step is to win the primary. Now, I suppose a good way to impress your party stalwarts that you are the one to head the state is to cast some shadows over the actions of the opposing parties titular head, particularly when he now holds the office you covet. On a news broadcast the morning of Nov. 13, this lady candidate made some statements to the public. She accused Governor McCall at the beginning of her remarks of delaying too long before he did anything about the energy crisis. This seemed petty in the face of the national acclaim our state received because Governor McCall was the first governor to take any decisive action to alleviate the crisis. But, almost in the next breath she d ire c tly contradicted herself when she declared that he acted too hastily and that he should have taken more time to carefully plan his actions and weigh all the results that might come from them Besides being co ntrad icto ry, this last statement shows the brilliant result of a long legislative career. She should run for senator. There she could plan and wrangle and put off acting on anything for years. Now Betty, this is early in the game and no time to destroy your credibility by making two contradictory statements in the same appearance. Note that I called you Betty. I do not think you are for Women's Lib to the point you would like to be ad dressed as Ms. I know you are not a Miss. Since you do not use your husbands last name, I hestitate to call you Mrs. 1 do not think you would like a Spanish Señora nor a French Madame. So, I'U just call you Betty You should know or have a fair idea who your major op position will be, should you win your party's prim ary. It is a cinch it won't be McCall. And he is pretty much a hero right now, having led the state in showing the way for a better environm ent and taking measures against the energy shortage as an example for the rest of the nation to follow. Your barbs won’t dent that shield. Chances are the op positions choice will fall on Myers. But, don't you think you should concentrate on beating the formidable op ponents in your own party first? A lot of us think you might put up a pretty good race. So let’s not have any more slips like that one. You have got to have that credibility now.

However, unem ployment associated with layoffs and temporary shut downs in lumber and wood products increased sub stantially in October, offsetting a seasonal reduction in unemployed entrants and re entrants in the labor force. The civilian labor force totaled 1,041,400 in ctober, up 45,500 over the year Oregon's employment total dropped by 12,400 over-the- month to 994,600 in October from 1,007,000 in September. This was a new October high. 43,300 above the year ago level of 961,000. Agricultural em ployment decreased seasonally by 6,900 over-the-month due largely Io the wind-up of fruit, hay, grain and grass seed harvests.
