Run Acain for
Lower House
Experience Needed,
He Says in Announc
ing Candidacy
By JAMES D. OLSON
Rep. Robert L. Elfstroni of Sa,
lorn Saturday announced he would
be a candidate for re-election, thus
abandoning the idea oj attempting
to obtain a seat in the State Sen
ate. Elf-irom is the second member
of the House of representatives
from Marion County to announce
intention of seeking re-election,
Rep. V V. Chadwick made such
an announcement a week ago. In
addition Mayor Al Loucks has an
nounced his candidacy for the Re
publican nomination for Reprcscn
tatife from Marion County.
"Marion County will this year
lose half of its experienced dele
ggation in the House of Represen
tatives." Elfstrom stated. "Con
sequently, I feel I should disre
gard personal preference and file
for re-election as a Republican
icpresentative in the House."
No Time to Drop Out
Elfstrom said that in seeking
re-election he was mindful of the
need for wise legislation in this
period of the state's growth.
"1 firmly believe that Oregon's
business can be conducted in a
manner comparable to those meth
ods which are essential in private,
free enterprise," he said. "Addi
tionally, good legislation must
benefit all people, regardless of
party affiliation. I believe my rec
ord in civic and state affairs, and
the method by which I have con
ducted my own business interests,
is background sufficient for the
voters' approval."

Dulles Defends
Big 4 Action
On Red China
WASHINGTON (UP) Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles stood
his ground against criticism from
uneasy congressmen today for the
Big Four decision to admit repre
sentatives of Red China to the
forthcoming Geneva Conference on
Far Eastern problems.
Dulles was preparing to go be
fore congress and the nation next
week with a defense of the Berlin
agreement, which some critics
feared was a step toward U.S.
diplomatic recognition of tho Pei-
ping regime.
Returning last night from the
conference of Big Four foreign
ministers at Berlin, Dulles said
the terms for the Geneva meeting
April 26 are "100 per cent what
we have wanted."
"The place and the composition
of the conference arep recisely
what we have always sought,"
he said. "No neutrals will be
present, and it is expressly stpu
laoted that no recognition of Red
China is involved."

The company was merely an in

the FPC would have the right to
appeal.
The court ruled in favor of. the ,
stale of Oregon in declaring that
Ihe slate has exclusive jurisdiction
