One thing about the Fourth District, 1962 primary will be interesting Bob Duncan, Speaker of the House In the Oregon state legislature for the past four years, has announced he will seek the Democratic nomination to Congress from Oregon's Fourth District In next year's primary. Those Fourth District Democrats really have it made. Too often Demo crats and Republicans, too have a hard time getting one good man to run. .Getting more than one strong candidate is nearly an impossibility. ' Duncan Is the third man to an nounce his candidacy. The others who are eager to challenge Dr. Eddie Durno next year are Charlie Porter, former Congressman from the district, who lost out to Durno In 1960, and Bob ' Straub, state Senator from Lane Coun ty. There is one possible danger to the Democrats. The three men might so split votes .and loyalties as to insure Durno's re-election next year. The other possibility Is that they will generate so much interest through the primary that the winner will gather Democrats about him like a cloud and really roll over Durno. Obviously, this Is the hope of all three. For what It's worth, here Is an ap praisal of the three men, after watching them in action for a few years, salted with a personal acquaintanceship with all three. They're all from the liberal wing cf the Democratic party. Porter, In our opinion, is at the left of the three. His political judgment is not so good as that of the other two, judping by his past romances witli Fidel Cnstro and Red China. Straub is next in the political spec trum, and is Inclined to be a more doc trinaire liberal than either of the oth ers. We get the feeling, on occasion, that he favors programs and actions because it's fashionable to do so, rath Much ado about group insurance Charges and denials have been fill ing the air around Wall and Louisiana, and covering some newsprint, In recent days over the handling of the city em ploye group insurance program. City Commissioner Paul Reasoner has been sniping away at City Manager Walter Thompson. Thompson has been ducking, since some of Reasoner's shots have come uncomfortably close. The fact that an Issue has been created Is largely Thompson's fault. Thompson Is no Insurance export. But he went ahead and negotiated an Insurance agreement covering city em ployes and their families. Then he told the commission what he had done. Here Thompson was in error, as he often Is. Humor from others Two men were leaving a restaurant together, and one of them noticed that his companion gave the hat check girl a dollar. "You make the rest of us look heap when you give the girls a tip J Evolution of a mushroom cloud Regardless of the circumstances, this Is public money being spent, and approval for such expenditures must remain in the hands of the commission, whether the commission would prefer It elsewhere or not.' Then Thompson, in a not-too-clever move, presented the commission with a fait accompli, rather than with a recommendation based upon study. Had he presented a recommenda tion, with some figures to buck it up, the whole thing would have sailed through the commission without any dissent, as so many similar things have sailed through. ?ot trapped by his own 'cleverness. If the going gets rough he has no cuise for complaint. er than from any deep-seated convic tion. This tendency is not so pronounc ed as to be objectionable, however. Duncan we might characterize in this crowd as a right-wing liberal, a little left of center perhaps but far more conservative in his beliefs than Porter, and somewhat to the right of Straub. Duncan, on the other hand, is a better manager of people than the oth ers. He's able to work well with others, and is able to persuade others to, his point of view more successfully than either Straub or Porter. Straub would bo the next most ef fective in this regard,, we suspect. He got along well as Lane county commis sioner. While he hasn't cut any great big swath as state Senator he was an "out" looking "In" and might not have been able to accomplish any more than he did. Porter is a sort of "full speed a head" guy in his relationships with others. We suspect he is more self centered t.han either of the other two. From our observation, ' he considers Charlie Porter to be the most interest ing of all possible subjects of conversa tion. As a result he's probably less ef fective than cither of the others in his dealings with other people. Porter, two years ago at least, had the advantage of name familiarity in his district. This may have been lost to Duncan since the last legislature. Straub, although he served as Demo cratic state chairman, probably would rank third in this measurement of pop ularity. Regardless of the ratings at this time, the Fourth District fight could be the most interesting of all in Oregon's primary next year, which seems al ready to be shaping up as a pretty much cut-and-dricd afrair, with this exception. like that," he remarked when they were outside. "It's worth It," replied his friend. "Look at the hat she - me!" Lei WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Soviet changes are seen in speech by Khrushchev By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON Here are some observations on Premier Khrush chev's marathon speeches by a newsman who recently saw Mr. K close-up at the Black Sea: No Expert of Revolution One significant statement by Mr. K was tills: "Communist have no desire or rieht to export revolu tion to non-Communist countries." This, if really carried out, would in itself be a revolution. It re peats what Khrushchev, told me in August, when he emphasized that though the Communist .1 world would vigorously compete with capitalism, this did not mean war or fomenting revolution. Stirring tip revolution In capi talist countries has been one of the cardinal tenets of communism in the past It will be interesting to see what happens in the future. Atom-Free Zones Mr. K pro posed an atom-free zone in Europe and the Far East. This is what Foreign Minister Gromyko has been discussing with Secretary of State Rusk, namely the banning of atomic weapons from the West German Army, plus other parts of Western Europe, probably includ ing France, Belgium and the Neth erlands, in return for their banish ment from Eastern Europe. The United States is favorably inclined, though Chancellor Ade nauer is not. The big plus for the United States would be in extend ing an atom-free zone to Die Far East to include Red China. Khru shchev is the Inst one to want atomic weapons in the hands of Red China whose leaders say China is the one nation which can afford atomic war. Atomic-Testing The fact that Khrushchev's announcement of the 50-megaton bomb was censor ed from news reaching the Rus sian people emphasizes the touch iest part of the Soviet arms build up. Khrushchev has campaigned against the danger of radioactive fallout in the past, knows what the current tests will do to the bones of children in the future, obviously doesn't want the Rus sian people to know it The Press Gallery The tact that American newsmen were present to report the 22nd Con gress proceedings Is a revolution ary departure from a few years ago. The manner in which Khru shchev turned to the press gallery and ad-libbed a rebuke to news men "The American journal ists are sitting here and laughing at our slogans" vas not unlike past senatorial ' rebukes to the press gallery in Washington. Critics of the Kremlin The fact that ex-Prcmier Bulganin was in the convention hall when Khru shchev named him as one of the Stalinist diehards is an amazing departure from the old days. In the Stalin era and immediately thereafter, Bulganin would have been banished or assassinated. He would not have been around to hear himself denounced at a Com munist Party Congress. Nor would foreign newsmen have been present to report it Another Significant Fact: Mar shal Kliment Voroshilov, former president of the Soviet who was thrown out of office in 157 and was denounced by Khrushchev this week as a pro-Stalinist, was, on the same dav, elected to the Steering Committee (presidium) of the 22nd Congress. Ambassador Mikhail Pervukhin, also denounc ed this week by Khrushchev as a 1057 conspirator, was on the same day elected an alternate to the Steering Committee. Tins kind of political give-and- Soviets come up with another 'first' claim MOSCOW (UPlt The Rus sians claim they havo come up with another "first" video tele phone service. They say a Muscovite can now telephone his girl-friend in Kiev or his mother in Leningrad and see her face on a television screen in a Moscow studio. The advent of Soviet video tele phones, timed to coincide with (lie 22nd Communist congress hero, apparently was Intended as a demonstration of Soviet techni cal advancement The Russians claim their "Invention" is an other "first" Informed sources here pointed out that video telephones already have been tried out in other coun tries and abandoned. The Russians have nude the coaxial cables between Moscow, Ixningrnd and Kiev available for daytime phone use, unless some major sporting event interferes. The new system uoiks like this: A customer in Moscow calls the telephone vomp.my for an ap pointment Then if the call, for instance, is to the Muxon ite s mother in Lriiincrad, the Moscow clerk will call the l.enincrad of fice which will summon the moth er to the studio in that city. Then the call poos thnrnth, with each party able to see the other's face. Mettress Company Custom Canvas Products 1164 Htrriman St. DAVENPORT'S General Merchandise Store H0O N. Hwy. Res. EV 3 3320 take was unheard of in the Soviet in the past. Industrial Competition with USA Mr. K cited figures showing Uiat Communist industrial output in 1060 had increased 6 8 times that of 1057, whereas non-Communist nations had increased only 2.5 times. When Khrushchev pointed this out to Averell Harriman, for mer governor of New York and ex-ambassador to Russia, Harri man told him: "Yes. but you are citing a period when the United States was under the Republicans. Wait until the Democrats get into power." Khrushchev countered by offer ing Harriman a job as his eco nomic adviser. Harriman replied: "I'll take It if you give me a dacha (summer homo) like this." "I am still waiting for Harri man to take that job," Khrush chev told me. End of Colonialism K. charg ed that imperialism in Africa, Asia, and Latin America is get ting shakier, hailed the birth of 28 new and independent nations in the past six years. However, these new nations have kept their independence as far as communism is concerned; more than 90 per cent of them have opposed K's Troika plan for hamstringing the United Nations. The new Kennedy policy of oppos ing colonialism as we opposed it in 1776 has paid dividends. Nix on Tito Khrushchev bit terly attacked Yugoslavia for "turning from the straight Marx ist - Leninist road into the winding path which has landed them in a fog' of revisionism.". Yet Senators John Tower of Texas and Scoop Jackson of Washington who is smart enough to know better blasted bipartisan aid to Yugo slavia. "We Are Equal" Khrushchev stuck exactly to what he told me about the relative strengtli of the USA and USSR. Ho told me that President Kennedy had told him in Vienna "we are equal." To this K replied: "I think we are strong er, but for the sake of the argu ment I will say we are equal Then why should we destroy each other with atomic war? To the 22nd Congress he said: "I believe all Communist forces are mightier than the aggressive, imperialist forces. But even if we should agree with the United States President, who quite re cently stated that our forces were equal, even then it is plainly un reasonable to use the threat of war. Since equality is admitted, the proper conclusions must be drawn from that. In our time it is dangerous tq pursue a policy from positions of strength. Rocket-powered 'bus' grounded CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPI A rocket-powered "bus" named Ranger II, ticketed for a 685.000 mile trip into space, was ground ed Friday by guidance problems. The federal space agency had planned to send the 670-pound probe deep into space in the final trial run for a planned triple as sault on the moon in 1962. However, less than one hour be fore the scheduled launching early today, the 10-story Atlas-Agena rocket carrying the Range.' II in its nose came up with problems in its guidance system difficul ties that could not be corrected in timo to permit scientists to launch it today. The postponement is for at least 48 hours, depending upon the ser iousness of the troubles. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said no new launch date had been set. Scientists planned to use Rang er 1 to try out instruments and ideas that could send crude tele vision cameras, radiation measur ing devices, and rough seismo graphs to the moon in a scries of three ranger firings spaced about 00 days apart in 1062.

The Swiss delegation's visit in cluded a lunch and a welcoming by the Swiss, consul general and Franklin C. Shoemaker, an offi cial of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The four-month-old U.S. Travel Service was set up by Congress as a part of the Commerce De partment at the request of Presi dent Kennedy. Establishment of an official agency to encoiu-age foreigners to visit the United States was part of Kennedy's larger program to stem the out ward flow of U.S. dollars. The government estimates that the 602,000 overseas visitors to this country In 1960 spent $317 million. Visitors from Canada and Mexico spent another $651 million, but officials do not have any head count on these two groups. In any case, the spending of visitors is far less than the amounts laid out by Americans for foreign traveling. The purpose of the new campaign is to try to narrow this gap somewhat The Travel Service already has worked with some visiting groups of 50 to 150, but the Swiss delega tion Is the largest and the first to be identified as a return on the government's investment The visit was said to be a direct result of an invitation issued to the Swiss last summer by Com merce Secretary Luther H. Hodg es during a European trip. W. Germans launch sub KIEL, Germany (UPD-The Ul. first submarine built in West Ger many since World War II, will be launched today by an undersea warfare expert who sank 42 Al lied ships during the war. Naval experts say the 350-ton submarine is a "technical sensa tion" because of its high speed and its heavy armament. The submarine, first of 12 of its type ordered by the West Ger man navy, mounts eight torpedo tubes and an imposing array of electronic detection equipment Although it Is powered by con ventional rather than nuclear en gines, it Is said to be capable of remaining underwater for weeks presumably by using some va riation of the schnorkel breathing apparatus. Capt Otto Kretschmer, w ho sent 250,000 tons of Allied shipping to the bottom during World War II, will launch the sleek. 130-foot U-boat in his capacity as chief of West Germany's amphibious com mand. Kretschmer, an "ace of aces" among wartime U-boat com manders, was called "the wolf of the Atlantic" by the British. One of his best-remembered ex ploits occurred on Nov. 3, 1940. when he sank the British cruisers Laurcntic and Patroclus in a night attack. Soviets step up foreign aid WASHINGTON (UPI) Soviet bloc aid to underdeveloped coun- ires through credits and grants has more than doubled in the past two years, according to the State Department A report issued Friday said these credits and grants have been increasing by $1 billion to $1.5 billion annually. Major recipients have been the United Arab Republic, Afghanis tan, Iraq, India, Indonesia. Cuba and Guinea. Since 1954, $1.3. billion has been for military aid.

Brogan Bulletin Staff Writer viftv venra acn this week. Bend suffered a bad fire, worst in its history of the town up until that time. Three buildings on Bond Street were destroyed. "Fortune favored Bend at Die time of the blaze, there being no wind, or the biggest portion of the business dis trict would have been wiped out," The Bulletin commented. ThA fir started in the restaur ant of Sam McMurtrie. A w i n d from the north would have result s') in the loss of several blocks. The fire also had its humorous side. The Bulletin reported: "A number of ladies climbed up on Lara's store to watch the fire and with buckets and cups threw water on the store room and the building was saved." There was no mention in that story of the Bend fire department of 1911. A new ico cave (apparently Edi son Ice Cave of the present) was discovered In October 1911 be tween Bachelor Butte and Spring River. Deschutes foresters were happy. It was in a waterless area and would save fire fighters a long haul in battling blazes in that area, foresters said. Supervisor J. Roy Harvey and J. C. Stephens of the Forest Service placed a lad der through a "skylight" opening and explored the ice area under neath. The ice was described as clear and pure. The Arnold Ice Cave had been discovered years before and was Bend's source of summer ice early in the century. Bend's public school 50 years ago this month was overflowing. Enrollment in mid - October reached the 200 mark, requiring an additional room and another teacher, Mrs. R. M. Snaders. The large and well-lighted room under the stage in Lmsters Hail was rented for class space. Superintendent Shuse told school directors that the school building was so crowded that something had to be done. Half the seventh grade taught by Miss Vandevert Woman bound over to jury OREGON CITY (UPI) Mrs. Margaret Arnell Fischer, 31, Mil waukie, was bound over to the Clackamas County Grand Jury here Friday on a charge of sec ond degree murder. Mrs. Fischer is accused in the fatal shooting of her husband, Henry Adolph Fischer, 60, earlier this month. She was bound over following a preliminary hearing before Dis trict Judge William Frazicr. Fischer was shot in the left side at his home by a small caliber revolver.

(UPI) There should be little doubt in the minds of 176 big corporation executives about what they can do for their country. Four officials of the Kennedy administration, including two of cabinet rank, laid before mem bers of the Business Council Fri day a formidable list of do's and don't's to promote the national in terest. In a nutshell, the corporation presidents and board chairmen were exhorted to: , Refrain from boosting prices; Help find good men to man age the foreign aid program; Invest in risky but not reck less ventures in underdeveloped countries, and Promote civil defense pre paredness, i The Business Council is a group of 176 executives from many of the nation's biggest, most power ful corporations. Earlier this year the council severed a 28-year-old advisory relationship with the Commerce Department. The Ken nedy administration has been at pains to restore cordial relations with the council, and. through its prominent members, with the business community generally. To that end President Kennedy dispatched some of his key aides lo speak at the council's autumn work-and-play meeting at this southern Virginia spa. Two of them, Treasury Secre tary Douglas Dillon and Under Secretary Henry H. Fowler, planned to sit in today at the council's business outlook discus sion.
