Pre-Primary State Politics 'Cool, Calm' By THOMAS C. WRIGHT JR. Stuff Writer, The Statetmaa Oregon'i pre-primary p o I i t i cs two days away from the ballot box I howdown, remained calm, cool and collected Tuesday except for the hurried activities of two Demo cratic presidential hopefuls seek ing the state's 16 delegates to the national convention. Despite the busy campaigning of Sen. Estes Kefauver, who will speak Thursday noon from the Courthouse steps, and Adlai Stev enson, who spoke there Monday, lagging interest in the Friday elec tion pointed to a low turnout at ine polls. . Political seers Wednesday were predicting all the way from 45 to 53 per cent turnout of state's 3z,U8 registered Democrats and 378,778 Republicans. Lack-of local contests in many areas was re sponsible for the low forecast. Large Porlioi Seea . In Salem and the first Congres sional district, a larger portion of Republican voters are expected to turn out primarily because of the nip-and-tuck campaign between former Sec. of Interior Douclas McKay and former State Sen. Philip Hitchcock. Candidates had varying reports on the possible effect o( a small vote. McKay's campaign mana ger, William L. Phillips said -the size of the vote wouldn't change the outcome for his candidate, but Paul Hebbe, state manager for McKay's GOP rival, Philip Hitch cock, saw a distinct advantage in a small turnout. "If we can come within 12 to l.VOOO votes of McKay in Multno mah County, we'll beat him." Hebbe asserted. He said Hitchcock had good valley strength, particu larly in the Eugene area and in eastern and southern Oregon. Hebbe pooh-poohed a public opinion poll which credited McKay with a 2 to 1 lead over Hitchcock. , He said a spot poll taken by 90 campaign workers in the Portland area contacted 3,500 homes and found a margin f sentiment for Hitchcock. Multnomah Holds Key Multnomah County apparently held the key for both candidates as tliey concentrated their efforts in the highly populated area. Except for a jaunt Tuesday to Coos Bay and North Bend, McKay scheduled all of his election-week campaign ing in Portland for TV, radio and factory appearances. He is sched uled to wind up his campaign at 10 p.m. Thursday with a TV talk over KLOR, then return to Salem In vote in his home precinct at South Salem High School. Hitchcock, who has kept up a galloping campaign of the state since March, had several factory visits and a flying trip to Hills bnro on his Tuesday schedule. To day he. visits Oregon City, takes in two coffee hours and has two radio and TV xommittments. Thursday's schedule, winding up with a KOIN appearance at 11:05 p.m., has sev eral coffee hours and factory visits in Portland, his home town where he will cast his ballot Friday. The Republican race lor secre tary of state has created some statewide interest and sentiment as election eve neared gave no clear-cut edge to either William K Healy over Mark Hatfield, both of Salem. Hjtfield's apparent valley strength appeared to be counter balanced by Healy's strength in eastern Oregon. The margin of victory remained a guarded secret of Muntnomah County voters. First Congressional rare looked like an easy victory for Rep. Wal ter Norblad of Stayton though the Republican incumbent R. F. Cook of Silverton voiced optimism Tues day that he would upset Norblad who has held the post for 11 year Attorney .lason Lee of Salem and Don H. Metheny. Brooks farmer, are seeking the Democratic nomination. BOOKKEEPER DROWNS F'KNUI.KTON :f -Harry Dalby. 68, a bookkeeper at a Pilot Rock sawmill, drowned in West Birch Creek six miles west of Pilot Rock. His body was recovered Tuesday. Police said Dalby possibly suf fered a heart attack and toppled into the stream. ( && f , . f TV nKxIrrn trend in halhrooma ia In rr. Bui mike aura I ha al inn (-home hn rrilor that ioiM.
