Revision of State Election Laws
-'Needed, County Clerk Asserts
Bt Conrad Prance
6tM Writer. Th SUtvsman
Outside of ; the usual sev
eral hundred Marion county
voters who will cast ballots in
the wronir precincts,. Marion coun
ty Clerk Harlan Judd expects the
October 7 special election to run
off smoothly, f
But wKtt about future elections
Ir.the county's rapidly increasing
citizenry? Welt, that is something
eiea?ain, Judd said Saturday.
VWitk our outmoded laws
gotvrning elections dating back to
185 1; Judd said. "Marion coun
ty's expanding population i s
hraded for difficult Umes at the
polls. Voting scandals and abuses
are virtually unknown here be
cause of the" relatively thinly
populated precincts compared
with the other sections of the
nation. .
Crux of the trouble. Judd said,
Is the present system used here
of registration cards and poll
books. For each election poll books
are made up from registration
Wards. Names are typed into the
books for each precinct, listing
the perrons wh are eligible to
vote in that precinct.
Mast Ke-re sister
If a voter moves from one pre
cinct to another, he must re
register. It he does not, then his
name automatically onto the
"poll book in his former precinct.
And that is where the rub comes,
Judd explained, because many
people move, fail to re-register
and then return to their former
precinct to vote wtotch Is illegal.

Another weak election provi
sion, Judd said, -is the one requir
ing that names be only typed into
the poll books and that anyone
"assuming" any one of the names
is permitted to vote without fur
ther identification required. Many
itates, Judd said, have remedied
this situation by requiring the
registering voter to .sign a card.
At election time the voter must
duplicate : the signature for the
election board before he receives
his ballot.
8 unrests gignatarea
The signature identification
method would not only discourage
illegal voting, Judd said, but
would provide grounds for prose
cution when offenders are caught.
Another inconsistency in elec
tion laws, Judd pointed out, is
the state's policy of requiring
registrants to stipulate party al
legiance while the civil service
has regulations forbidding em
ploye participation in political ac
tivities. Judd said that in the past
several years his office has noted
increased sentiment for the "open
primary" in which swearing party
allegiance is not required.
"Now U the time," Judd said,
"to tighten our state election laws
in preparation for the day when
heavy population will demand
modern, fool-proof control of
elections.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2HVThe
United States opened it's counter
attack tonight against Russian
charges of "war-mongering In
this country. In a strong answer
the U S. said the whole Soviet dec

The United States also gained
strong support from France in the
United Nations assembly and sim
ultaneously spear-headed a drive
to try to ease the "onerous" bur
dens of the Italian peace treaty on
the Italian people.
Warren R. Austin, No. 2 man in
the VS. delegation, began the U.S.
campaign against the Soviet at
tack which was launched Thurs
day on the aseembly floor by An
drei Y. Vishinsky, No. 2 man In
the Soviet foreign ministry.
Austin told the American asso
ciation for the United Nations at
a dinner at the Waldorf Astoria
hotel that "we refuse tobellve It

reflect on the honor of our coun
try. It was the first formal policy
reaction from a ranking member

was meant for the people of Sov

Veterans who intend to enroll
in Oregon colleges this fall have
been cautioned by the veterans
administration to check with their
local -VA offices to be sure they
have necessary certificates and
requirements, Wayne Smith, Sa
lem VA training officer said Sat
urday. A check list of requirements
has been issued by the VA, Smith
said, and if followed will save
veterans a great deal of delay.
The list follows: If entering
training for the first time, be sure
to have a properly signed certifi
cate of eligibility from the near
est VA office; if you have been in
training and are returning to the
same school and have not attend
ed another school during the in
tervening period,, apply directly
to the school for enrollment; if
you have been in training before
and plan to enroll at a new school,
you must obtain a supplemental
certificate of eligibility; if you
have been in training before and
are returning to the same insti
tution, but have decided to change
your course of study, apply to
your VA office for permission to
change your course; be sure to
file an estimate of your earnings
at the time, of registration so the
VA can compute your subsist
ence; If you have been notified
of an overpayment of aubsistence,
see your VA officer and arrange
for repayment; if you are a dis
able veteran desirous of training
under the vocational rehabilita
tion act, report to your VA office
"before registering; keep the ' VA
advised at all times on changes
of address and employment; and

Split Over T-H
Act Affidavit
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept 20-P)
The CIO International Wood
workers of America signed affi
davits of non-communism today,
but two officers, the union pres
ident said, resigned rather than
do it
The union, important in the
Pacific northwest's big lumber
industry, voted at .its St Louis
convention last month to sign
the affidavits which the Taft
Hartley labor bill requires of
unions wishing to make use of
the national , labor relations
board.
The two who resigned were
Karley Larsen, vice president
and Ed Laux, secretary-treasurer.
President James Fadling said
they gave as their, reasons that
they "cannot agree to become a
party who voluntarily complies
with the provisions of the Taft
Hartley act as it applies to the
labor management board."
Fadling himself said that he
"resented signing. While I had
no hesitation in signing an affi
davit that I am not a commun
ist I resent the fact that em
ployers have the full rights of
the law without being forced to
sign the same affidavits. I sign
ed because it was the wish of
our membership.
Fadling appointed Joe Huber
to fill the vice presidency and
Virgil Bum to fill the secretary
treasurer post. Huber Burtz,
along with William Botkin, an
other vice president signed the
affidavits.

Taft Pledges
To Promote
Reclamation
RENO, Nev., Sept 20-P)-Mak-ing
his first major speaking ap
pearance in the west without ben
efit of pickets. Senator Robert
Taft (R-Ohio) tonight pledged the
republican congress to a program
of reclamation within budgetary
limits and suggested a secretary
of interior from the west to ad
minister it.
An audience packing a local
movie theater heard Taft state the
"republican party is the party of
reclamation," but that "the coun
try cannot be made over in a sin
gle year."
Departing from his prepared
text. Taft observed that he
thought a western reclamation
program could be "more sympa
thetically carried out if the secre
tary of the interior should come
from a western state."
In introducing Taft, Senator
Malone (R-Nev) commented on
the absence of pickets and said "I
happen to know a lot of union
members are here tonight, looking
for information."
At the conclusion of his pre
pared address Taft launched into a
bristling exposition of the Taft
Hartley labor law. in particular
labor's attitude toward signing
anti-communist affidavits. ,

from throughout Italy tonjght
said the communist and socialist

under Premier Alcide De Gasperi's

had passed quietly and, in some
cities, met with indifference.
Most cities' reported that crowds
which gathered at afternoon mais
meetings were smaller than ex
pected. The audiences gathered quietly
and listened without much re
sponse to speakers from several
leftiest parties denounce the
government, then furled their red
banners and Italian flags, put
their placard bearing anti-government
slogans under their arms
and, Just as quietly, went home.
