The

Clothing W orker! union re
ports that It Is Intensifying
picketing efforts at several
Portland area stores whose
managers have refused to
cooperate with the union and
It's
national Farah pants
strike and boycott.
The
Clothing
workers,
aided by It« Oregon State
A F I.-C IO and He Multnomah
County Labor Council, are
calling upon store managers
asking them to discontinue
carrying Farah pants and not
to place any future orders
with tie company until tie
strike, which legan in May,
Is sealed. T he ACE is also
asking
retailers
not
to
advertise Farah Products In
the rewspapers o r by any
other public media.
Arthur Adair, Oregon Co
o r d i n a t o r for the Farah
Strike C o m n i I t t e e , repons
that many retailers have re
sponded
favorably to lie
visits and some have even
written letters of complaint
to tie Farah Company. She
expects thany m a n y o tte r
stores w ill also comply when
faced with tie prospect of
being picketed.
She points
out that even though tie pic
keting Is Infonnatlonal only
In nature and Is not aimed
directly at a store, many
shoppers w ill naturally avoid
entering any tuslness where
pickets ate present. F o r a
small businessman, this can
mean a serious financial loss.
Efforts
are
now being
centered at the Rhodes lie -

he had entered a plea, lost
u valuable right to move to
dismiss He Indictment on the
ground that the G randjury
acted out of caprice or bias.
Oeferxlarit refused at least
one, possibly two, offer or
offers of immunity from pro
secution relative to tie dis
appearance of He child.
The State neither proved
nor alleged any connection
between tie person o r per
sons who returned the child
and He Defendant.
The T ria l Court’ s persis
tence In suggesting that a

submitted to the jury finally
resulted In the Plaintiff’ s

accede to submitting to the

by Hie several verdicts be

concerning

that Ketton effected the dis

the
apparent
lib erality of the T ria l Court,
Defendant has gained the im
pression that the trial was
unfair and that he had been
found guilt before the jury
had arrived at their verdict.
ARGUMENT
7 he Defendant had a right
to have this case decided
upon the evidence adduced in
Court.
Juror #8*s miscon
duct denied him He rights of
confrontation and cross exa
mination and thereby deprived
him of his constitutionally
guaranteed rights.
The inference is compel
ling that Juror #'8 must have
considered some deficiency
In the proof, sufficient, to
initially prompt his miscon
duct.
His verdict justifies
this conclusion. Further, it
w ill not do to say that what
Hie juror learned was cumu
lative is light of He fact that
careful
observations
will
surely disclose some new
fact.
In view of the juror's prior
experience and the admoni
tions of this Court, the mis
conduct should not be re
garded
lighHy. The con
sequences
to Lafayette
Frederick Keaton are too
great.

Democrat for
U.S. Senate
" If we are to continue to throw our money away for the killing of American and Asian
boys in a tragic conflict, we will never solve any of our pressing domestic problems. The
war has caused inflation and unemployment. It has kept us from improving our educational
system and cleaning up our environment, and has deterred any serious move for tax reform .”
—Wayne Morse, April 18, 1972
Wayne Morse consistently voted against all appropriations for
the war in Vietnam, Hatfield did not In fact, Hatfield voted
for appropriations specifically earmarked for the conduct of
the war.
Wayne Morse voted against wire tapping and electronic sur
veillance, opposes preventive detention, and rejects any at
tempt to dilute the guarantees of the Fifth Amendment Mark
Hatfield voted for bills containing all of these measures.
There’s a
difference..
Check
the record.
Wayne Morse says that the federal minimum wage law
should be equally applied to all those working; Mark Hat
field voted for a Buckley amendment to the Social Se
curity Act which would have allowed workers below the
age of 18 to be paid $1.60 an hour or 80% of the mini
mum wage - whichever is higher.
Wayne Morse does not approve of court packing and did
not support the Administration's political nominations to
the Supreme Court; Mark Hatfield voted for the confir
mation of Burger, Blackmon, Powell and Rehnquist he
also supported the nomination of Richard Kliendienst
for Attorney General.
