Martin Simon is an independent
candidate for the U.S. House of Repre­
1
sentatives.

Simon favors a new world economic
( order that would free local governments
and nations from the debts they have
incurred, freeing them tc expand produc­
tion snd so raise the living standard.
Many of the poorer nations have
borrowed from the New York (Rockefel­
ler) banks and cannot repay their loans so
they are continuously refinanced to the
point where even the interest cannot be
paid. In the meantime, strict measures
are made to save money so it can be
directed to pay on the debt. Government
services are cut. wages lowered, and
when the citizens rebel, military dictator­
ships must keep order.
The U.S. Labor Party, which Simon
represents, proposes a world wide debt
moratorium for nations, local govern­
ments and for major loans to industry.
Simon emphasizes that these loans are
owed to the banks and not to the U.S.
1
government. The New York banks are
already bankrupt in reality, since their
assets are in loans that cannot be repaid.
The Labor Party would eliminate those
banks, protecting private investors up to
$40,000, and the remaining assets would
go to providing a national bank the
purpose of which would be to finance and
assist economic development and not to
make profit. The smaller banks • U.S.
National, First National, etc. - would
function as they do now.
If a debt moratorium does not occur,
Simon says, the countries will default on
their loans and the banks will go
bankrupt, throwing the economy into
chaos.
When free from debt service, the
resources of the world can go into
production and growth, providing mean­
ingful employment and a higher standard
of living.
If elected to Congress, Simon will fight
passage of the Humphry-Hawkins Bill
and the CCC camps proposed by his
Thursday, October 28th, 197#
opponent, the incumbent Congressman,
Bob Duncan. He maintains that these
bills would promote labor intensive
industry that which uses large numbers
of people for physical labor - rather than
promoting mechanization that frees the
workers from the drudgeries of labor and
allows them to use their minds and
artistic talents. He also states that the
CCC concept will make acceptance of low
paying jobs mandatory even if it means
moving to another part of the country.
Simon relates this to Hitler Germany,
when laborers were enslaved by industry
and “undesirables” such as Jews and
slaves were worked until they were no
longer useful and then were exterminat-
Simon sees his policies leading to
socialism eventually, but does not dis­
count the pesent advantages of capital­
ism.
Studded tires now legal
Under state law studded tires are per­
mitted in Oregon during the period
November 1 through April 30th, H. Scott
Coulter, state highway engineer, an-
nouced today.
He asked that users defer putting them
on their cars until they are necessary
because of the damage they cause to
non snow covered pavements. Highway
Division cars again this year will not be
equipped with studded tires, Coulter
said.
A statement released by the Federal
Highway Administration last year stated
that studded tires do more harm than
good from a safety standpoint, and also

A North Portland couple was honored
recently by the University of Portland for
opening their home the last six years to
minority students from out of state in a
program sponsored by the university and
the Urban League of Portland.
Wilson and Carmen Walker, 4239 N.E.
Wisteria Drive, received a plaque for
their participation in the eight-year old
program that links students to the
Portland community through participat­
ing families.
Students in the program don’t five with
the families, but join them for weekend
outings and always have a quiet place to
talk or study. Vernon Chatman, director
of education and youth incentives for the
local Urban League, said the program
affords the students stability and “gives
them someone out of the community they
can call or visit."
The Walkers are “foster parents” to
two University of Portland students this
year. In eight years 90 students have
joined 40 participating families.

highway surfaces. The statement added
that studded tires have a minimal effect
on reducing stopping distances.
The Transportation Commission has
the authority to lengthen or shorten the
statutory period for the use of studded
tires if deemed necessary.
