IS The Stat roan, Salem. Owqon. Sunday. May 2, 1948 StoIOPefCent Registration Rise Estimated An estimate of a S to 10 per cent increase in voter registration lor this year primary and pre diction of a much larger rise in the number of ballots cast in that election were made Saturday by David O'Hara, in charge of the stats elections bureau. O'Hara said he based his esti mate largely on registration fig ures for this year's primary elec tion already received from several Oregon counties, where the sign up deadline was April 20. Registrations for the primary election in 1946, according to fig ures released by O'Hara, aggre gated 551,753 which was approxi mately 53,000 .in excess of the number for the primary election in 1944. Only 94,212 of the 280,923 registered republican voters went tn tfee nulls in 194S and cast their ballots for governor. The demo- , within two weeks this year v"1 ejection regis' tration probably was due to two factors: First, this is presidential elec tion year and two republican can didates for president are on the Oregon preferential ballot Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and Harold E. Stassen, former governor of Minnesota. Second, this will be the first time for many years that the vot ers of Oregon have selected nomi nees for governor, secretary of state and state treasurer at the same primary election. This situa tion resulted from the death of the Jate Gov. Earl Snell in an airplane crash last fall. The candidate selected for gov ernor at this year's elections will serve only two years. The terms of only two major state officials, the secretary oj state and state treasurer, normally would have expired early in January of next year. O'Hara said less than half of the counties have thus far report ed their registrations for tbe 1948 primary election at his office but that the task of tabulating the registration by party affiliation and counties should be completed cratic vote for governor that year was 51,725, out of the 25,101 dem ocratic registration.

He said this par ticularly was true of up-state counties like Lane and Douglas in which lumbering and logging has expanded in recent years. . Local issues, O'Hara declared, also will have a tendency to in crease this year's primary election vote. In Portland, where there is a spirited contest for mayor, O'Hara predicted the vote would be far larger -than two years ago. Similar outstanding local contests are slated in several other Ore gon cities at the primary election, Election bureau figures show i.xrtini-. with th olam and soecifl- cations 'therefor which were adopted O'Hara said by the common council April 28. 1948. which are now on Hie in me omcr 01 i ., . , the cltv recorder and which by thi j mai oou.uuu .uiM3 piiiip...c reference thereto are made a part i were printed for this year S pri bereof.

Eof f Continued To Permit Plea Sentencing of Richard Eoff, convicted of assault with intent to kill, was continued until May 10 as arguments for a new trial were heard Saturday. Eoff, 48, was convicted by Marion county circuit court Jury April 21 of attacking a Salem housewife with a flashlight last February. Defense attorneys Ernest Rlngo and Bruce Spauldina argued Sat urday that a new trial should be granted because the original in dictment and the manner of re turning the verdict by the jury were faulty. If was brought out that when the Jury first returned a verdict, Eoff was not present In the courtroom. The defendant's pres ence at the reading of a verdict is required by law. The jury rendered Its verdict, Was polled and then dismissed. A few minutes later, when the error had been discovered, the members of the jury were hastily re-assembled. Eoff was present at the second reading of the verdict. Eoffs attorneys also charged the indictment was faulty in that it did not specify whom Eoff intended to kill. An objection also was made to Circuit Judge George Duncan's Jury instructions per mitting an alternative verdict (assault with a dangerous wea pon) to be returned. Assistant District Attorneys Reginald Williams and Lawrence Osterman contended that the Jury error had been "cured" when the Jury was re-assembled im mediately. Judge Duncan allowed the at torneys until next Friday to file written briefs containing argu ments and law code references. above described improvement by and two years ago. throueh the itreet lmDtovement de- rv W r-o ctimatl thi voa r' nri- '""Lr of th. common council ! mary election would cost approxi- Sunday School PlailS lorii m isms: matelv $140,099. of which the ALfKKU Ml'UI.
