MclSary Boom Promises
Colorful State Primary
By PAUL W. HARVEY, JR.
Associated Press Staff Writer
When Governor Sprague started Senator McNary's pres
idential boom two weeks ago,
the most colorful primaries in
Next May Oregonians will
men presiueuuai nominees, ana me eyes oi uie nation Will
be on the Beaver state for an indication as to what the coun
try wants. O
On tbe democratic side, former
Governor Charles H. Martin will
be leading the fight in behalf of
Vice-President Garner, while Wil
lis Mahoney, former Klamath
Falls mayor who has been defeat
ed by Martin. McNary and US Sen
ator Ruf us Holman, will be at the
head of the Roosevelt forces.
But on the republican half of
the ticket there will be the name
of a favorite son Charles L. Mc
Nary. Now senate leader of the re
publican party, he has been in the
upper house since 1917. Opposing
him may be Senator Taft of Ohio,
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan,
and District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey of New York City.
However, Oregon republican
leaders don't think that McNary
will be nominated by the republi
can convention next summer. Ore
gon has only five electoral votes
out of 531, whereas presidential
nominees nsuallyxcome from states
which have more influence .
The object in pledging Oregon's
republican delegation to McNary
is to give this state some "bargain
ing power" at the convention. A
state pledged to a favorite son al
ways is in a better strategical po
sition that one pledged to an out
sider.
If the favorite son doesn't get
any place, that state is wooed and
courted by the camps of the lead
ing contenders. Sometimes such a
state gets major political rewards,
such as a vice-presidential nomin
ation. This really is what McNary's
supporters are angling for.
State Representative C. C. Chap
man of Portland, a republican who
publishes the Oregon Voter, warns
people not to belittle McNary be
cause he's a local man. Chapman
asks "shall we sneer at our own
native ton merely because he has
been one of us all the years?"
Senator Holman, although dis
appointed because he didn't get
the first chance to throw McNary's
hat In the .ring, also got on the
bandwagon, while several other
senators agreed McNary would be
a good candidate.
Republican state officials also
thought it was a good idea.

decide whom they want for
next May, there will be several
other Important races. State Treas
urer Walter E. Pearson, a demo
crat, and Attorney General I. H.
Van Winkle, a republican who has
served for 19 years, will face re-
nomination.
Chief Justice John L. Rand and
Justice George Rossman will be
before the voters again, as well as
all three congressmen, 13 circuit
judges, 25 district attorneys, all
GO state representatives and 15 of
the 30 state senators.
As far as getting control ot the
legislature is concerned, it doesn't
make much difference whom the
democrats nominate.
Republicans now control the
senate 22 to 8. They have 13 hold
overs, so they need to elect only
three senators to retain -a major
ity. And some of the contests will
be in districts that haven't elected
a democrat since the year oz tne
blue snow.
The democrats have only two
holdovers while six democratic
senators will be up for renomln-
ation.
In the house, the republicans
lead 46 to 13. Only a democratic
landslide could change the situa
tion there, but a landslide in the
opposite direction last election put
the republicans firmly in tbe sad
dle in the lower body.
Capitol Sidelights: Governor
Sprague is puzzled over the oppo
sition to his "plan" to provide re
tirement pensions for state em
ployes. He hasn't even submitted
any plan, and all he did was to ap
point a committee to study the
idea. . . . We asked Supreme Court
Clerk Arthur S. Benson why the
court was hearing so few crimin
al cases this fall. He answered
"either the criminals are finding
that crime doesn't pay, or they
aren't getting caught. . . A lead
ing candidate for state banking
superintendent didn t get the Job
because he threatened the bank
ers for not endorsing him. He told
them he would get revenge when
he was appointed. So,- the banking
board crossed his name oft the
list.

Unemployment Body to
Hold Hearing on Fund
t
A public hearine to determine the reserve reasonably re
quired to be maintained in the
sation fund to insure payment
workers eligible for such benefits, will be held in the office of
the state unemployment compensation commission next
Wednesday afternoon.
If, in the future, the fund drops
below the reserve determined nec
essary by the commission,' the
commission may spread the ben
efits by reducing the amount of
benefits paid, increase the waiting
period or by some other method.
Officials said this condition could
happen only in event of a serious
and extended general depression.
Although the determination is
not required by law until the end
of 1939, the commissioners said
they thought action should be tak
en within a reasonable time. The
necessity for the early hearing
was not urgent, they declared, for
the reason there has been a grad
ual Increase in the fund since
June of 1938 when it reached the
low of approximately $4,900,000.

Silver Describes
Parole System
Assistant Officer Speaks
to Local Retail
Credit Body
Oregon's new parole system
was explained by Joseph R. Sil
ver, assistant parole officer, at a
meeting of the Salem Retail
Credit association yesterday noon
at the Argo hotel.
"This is not just in experiment
in parole," he told the group
"The law was patterned after
similar laws in effect in other
states which are far beyond the
experimental stage."
The purpose of parole, he said,
Is to bridge the gap between pri
son routine and release to make
the period of readjustment easier.
It Is not a pardon nor an allow
ance for good behavior, but mere
ly a part of the prisoner's time
served out of the penitentiary un
der the supervision of authori
ties.
"Ninety-seven per cent of all
who go into the penitentiary will
be released, and parole, where It
is adequately administered and
supported, is the most successful
method of release," Silver said.
The credit association, during
Its business meeting, voted a $10
donation to the community chest.

Club Notes
Good morning. Mice. It looks
like we could rest on the laurels
of the past with a show like we
had last Saturday. It was a good
show, I think you'll admit, and ev
erybody had a lot of fun. We hope
to do the same for you this week.
MMC
On last week's show we had two
members of the regular gang.
They were Betty Severn, the Bea
Wain of Mickey Mouse, and Eileen
Fisher, our little "South American
Way" girl. Also a newcomer in
our midst, Gertrude Shaw who
thrilled us with the dulcet tones
of the Harmonica with "Mountain
Music" in the key ot G. Those
other sterling performers, who to
gether made for a good show last
Saturday, were Marjorie Tucker,
and Sally Terril whom we hope to
see and hear again soon.
MMC
Also, last week Mr. Rick, the
assistant manager, broached the
subject bt a bigger and better
show, the first plans of which are
being laid out now. Now, all of
you Mice who are interested in
singing in a chorus, dancing in a
group, or in a dramatic club
should be down this morning at
rehearsal and see me, so we can
formulate plans.
MMC
For our show this week, we
have a friend known to all of you
high school students, one Fred
Andrews (one is enough) who is
going to sing a little ditty of some
kind, and I think he has In mind
the "Jumpin Jive." Also, one you
received so well some time ago.
Miss Leontine Lebold. At the time
of this writing, she was undecided
as to what she would sing, but
whatever It is she'll turn out a
sterling performance and one
which all of you will enjoy. One
of the highlights of the program,
though, is the VFW Clown band.
Most of the members ot this or
ganization are high school stu
dents and most ot you know them.
They're! a swell bunch of fellows
and they can put on an act which
will really slay you. Ton have as
much idea as I do about what they
have in mind for the show but It'll
be worth coming down to see.
MMC
You'll get a lot ot excitement
and suspense out of the screen bill
on today's show as well as a lot
ot laughs Its really a big show.
You'll have a guilty conscience If
you let your friends miss this, so
come on down and bring your
friends with you. Don't forget the
serial, the third chapter of which

He said the plane's oil pumps
"froze" as he was flying over the
lofty Three Sisters mountains
from Lowry field, Denver, Colo.,

Northup attack ship, at an altitude
ot 3000 feet.
The lieutenant was in contact
with the Eugene airport just be

vised Operator Ralph Hazelton of
his difficulty.
A passenger who had been fly
ing with Reed left the plane at
Bend, Ore., just east of the moun
tains over which the plane encoun
tered trouble. The man was iden
tified as Sergeant J. P. Shine. The
plane carried only one parachute.
Reed, who was graduated from
the University of Oregon last sum
