Sig Unander
gets GOP nod
over Durno
PORTLAND (UPI) Oregon
Democrats cast a healthy vote of
confidence for Sen. Wayne Morse
Friday, while Republicans chose
lormer State Treasurer Sig Unan
der to oppose him, shunting Rep.
Edwin Durno into political limbo.
Durno had pegged his political
future on winning the GOP nomi
nation for the U. S. Senate. He
forfeited his fourth district Con
gressional seat to enter the race.
Unander led Durno in 28 coun
ties. He held a comfortable over
all margin.
Morse easily rolled over his
lone primary opponent, Portland
labor union member Charles Gil
bert. Morse held a 4-1 lead in his
bid for nomination for a fourth
Senate term.
Livingston Third
It was the first time Morse had
faced the voters since he lost to
President Kennedy in the 1960
Oregon presidential primary.
Durno had campaigned as "the
most opposite to Morse" in a field
of six. Unander had campaigned
as a more liberal Republican.
Durno who opened his state
wide campaign a few weeks ago
showed his greatest strength in
his own fourth district.
An Oregon State University
speech professor, Dr. Harold Liv
ingston, ran third in the GOP
field.
Denecke elected
to state court
PORTLAND (UPD - Circuit
Judge Arno Denecke, an ap
pointee of Gov. Mark Hatfield,
was named to the Oregon Su
preme Court in Friday's primary
election.
Denecke defeated Circuit Judge
Lyle Wolff of Baker County by
about a 3-2 margin by winning in
the more heavily-populated West
ern Oregon area.
Wolff won in counties east of
the Cascades.
Technically Judge Denecke will
be elected to the high court in
November.

Gov. Hatfield,
Thornton nab
easy victories
PORTLAND (UPD-Gov. Mark
Hatfield and Democratic Atty
Gen. Robert Y. Thornton, already
outspoken foes, handily won their
parties' nominations for governor
Friday. Thornton wasted no time
in opening what promised to be
a bitter campaign.
Hatfield easily defeated his sin
gle primary opponent, Portland
engineer George Altvater, by a
hefty 5-1 margin.
Thornton, who mowed down
State Sen. Walter Pearson of
Portland by a surprising 3-1 mar
gin, coupled his victory statement
with a stinging attack on Hatfield.
Thornton at once challenged
Hatfield to debate "without his
expensive retinue of college cro
nies." He accused Hatfield of
costly out-of-state trips in pursuit
of the Republican vice presiden
tial nomination.
Thornton also said Hatfield fail
ed to keep first term campaign
promises of economy in govern
ment and tax reduction.
Thornton's strong defeat of
Pearson came in spite of last
minute endorsement of Pearson
by Democratic Rep. Edith Green.
Portland area voters demonstrat
ed Mrs. Green's own popularity,
but spurned her recommendation
of Pearson, giving Thornton a 2-1
lead in Pearson's own Portland
stronghold.
