Stassen Dumps Nixon for Herter; Ike, GOP Angry 106th Year DtF lOTQjIg When it comes to facts and fig ures, Oregon editors learned long ago to beware of Bob Sawyer, long time editor of the Bend Bulletin. Woe to the editor who butchered a quotation or got his statistics mixed. Now retired, Sawyer is still a foe- of inaccuracy either in fact or deduction. Senator Ncuf borger has just found that out'! The exchange, which began with letters to the New York Times, fortunately was repeated in the letters column of The Oregonian, which brings it to the attention of more residents of Oregon. It all began when Neuberger wrote the New York Times de fending the inclusion of the pref erence clause in a pending Niaga Slay "lITllTiJiS . miiToff shore in clause gives priority on federally produced power to publicly owned systems and cooperatives. In the attempt to show how in nocent this is, Neuberger cited the record of Bonneville Power ad ministration where since 1939 "a mere 21.3 per cent of Bonneville's energy has gone to preference cus tomers." Nonpreference buyers have bought the remainder. Sawyer saw this letter and wrote the Times, pointing out these fig ures, while correct in themselves, did not tell the whole story. "The records," wrote Sawyer, "show an annual increase in sales to pref erence customers, while sales to privately owned utilities, after reaching peak in 1946 have gone down every year but one." Sales to preferred customers were only S.K per cent in 1942, but rose to 33.26 per cent in 1953. From the high point of 32.96 per (Ceatinaed Page 4) State Raps Eugene Fire Department EUGENE Iff) "Strong, positive and firm leadership" is "com pletely lacking" in the Eugene Fire Department, a state Civil Service Commission report on de partment personnel problems dis closed Monday. The report,- received by City Manager Robert Finlayson, also noted that firemen apparently are guilty of infractions of regulations. The commission's report is the outgrowth of prolonged controver sy between the firemen and their superiors. Two commission inves tigators spent a week in Eugene studying department conditions. The study said the report did not turn up any serious cCvil serv ice rule infractions, but that Fire Chief Ed Surfus "told the survey team that he had lost all control over the men." Among violations cited in' the report were firemen living outside the city and some working for various businesses in the commu nity on their days off.

Civil Rights Bill Passed In House Vote WASHINGTON I The House Monday passed the civil rights bill and supporters started long shot efforts to stave off apparent ly certain death for the measure in the Senate. The House vote was 279-126. One move to give the bill a fighting chance collapsed. Some senators had spoken of a 'motion to bypass the Judiciary Commit- tee in which other civil rights measures are bottled up,, and bring the House bill direct to the Senate floor. The bill, which would give the attorney general more legal weap ons to deal with infringement of voting and other rights, is sup ported by most Northern Dcmn- itr."!! and R'PuW'cans But the ! every parliamentary maneuver in the books. Immediately after the House paed the hill on a roll call vote Rep. Keating R-NY, one of its authors, said he was lining up support for an attempt to prevent adjournment of Congress unless the Senate acts on the measure.

But now there's a milk goat in someone's garage. The goat was found Monday morning in the backyard of Mrs. Myrtle Martin who lives about six miles east of Salem on Maclay Road. At first it refused to budge, but patient coaxing finally brought it into Mrs. Martin's garage where it is now tied while its owner is sought. . As for the sheep, they were reported Monday to be back within the meat company's fences, in cluding one that plunged through the picture window of the John Smith residence, 665 Shangrila.

C. Bennard, Port- land; reversed its earlier decision on street paving contract and gave H. C. Walling the work on most of the paving. 19.00$ Tons Walling, a local sand and grav el businessman putting in a new asphalt plant this summer, was low bidder on projects requiring about 19,000 tons of asphaltic concrete; Warren Northwest was low on 2,000. The Council last night awarded contracts on this low bid basis, despite its former action of contracting with Wall ing for only some 14,000 tons after a question was raised as to whether his new plant would get started in time to finish all work in the dry season.

Aldermen were prepared to act Monday on legislation to allow Downtown Salem Merchants Asso ciation on Aug. 17 or 18 to release ping pong balls loaded with money or gifts from a helicopter over downtown Liberty Street, during a sales promotion.

Stassen, the Presi dent's special assistant on disarm ament problems, announced that "in loyalty to President Elsen hower" be will work for Herter' selection as No. 2 man on tht Republican ticket. The move caught Republican leaders and apparently Herter by surprise. But Stassen said he had told Eisenhower personally about his plan last Friday, Ht declined to say what Eisenhower'! reaction was. Wrote Nixaa Stassen said he also wrote Nix on a letter Monday. Nixon declined to see reporters who besieged hi office.

Fall SaaBori Pledged "la the event the convention de cide that he is the man who could contribute the most to the re-election of President Eisenhow er and the continued success of the Eisenhower administration, I shall be glad to give his candidacy my full support." Stassen told a news conference. I am confident" that if Herter were nominated at the San Fran cisco party convention next month Eisenhower would be "pleased to have him on the ticket." , Herter, watching a golf tourney at Canton, Mas., was visibly af fected by news of Stassen's pro posal. He declined comment at first, then issued a brief statement through his office saying "my position Is the same as it hat al ways ben." 'Firmly Believe' "I firmly believe, he said, that the decisive factor to be considered in nominating Vice Presidential candidate ia the wish of the President." Stassen gave as his reason for proposing the 61-year-old Herter the belief that an Eisenhower-Hert-er ticket "will run at least per cent stronger than an Elsenhower- Nixon ticket." He said private polls sponsored by himself and a small group in the last four week had shown this. Stassen said he had abandoned his own plans for running for sec ond place on the ticket because he beliefs "adverse feeling to ward me among some within our Republican party" would hurt Eis enhower' chance for reelection.
