None of the approximately 1,000 candidates has yet hol lered foul, officially, to the congressional group set up for such complaints. Usually, the committee does not have to look for things to keep it busy. Candidates have blown the whistle on opponents with regularity In past years, generally well In advance of election day. This year, too, cries of ''dirty tactics," have been heard among the contestants, but not directed to the house investi gators. ' NY Truck Driver Strike Ends NEW YORK Ml A five-day strike by truck drivers in the New York metropolitan area ended' Wednesday night as the last "hard core" employer group agreed to the union demand for a 25-cent-an-hour package increase. Trucking company officials pre dicted that the settlement will raise trucking fees by 10 to 15 per cent, that many trucking companies will go out of business and that manufacturing firms will flee the area to avoid the in creased rates. David Kaplan, chief economist for the union, urged the drivers to "give the employers more of day's work and to cooperate in every way possible to increase ef ficiency so a1! to minuniie the unit cost of the wage increase." To the employer predictions ot the effect of the increase. Kap lan said it could not be "so dis astrous or the strike would not have ended so quickly." man who changed-heers r"'TEKT one of our new friends.

Political Talks Heard In all Sections of State By THK ASSOCIATED PRESS Political speeches were heard in j Bend that he had nothing to do nearly every section of Oregon j with the charges recently filed by Thursday as the fall campaign entered Us final 13 days. The top contest, between Sen. Guy Cordon and his Democratic challenger, Richard L. Neuberger, saw both principals in Western Oregon. Cordon, speaking at Gresham Wednesday night, linked himself to the Eisenhower program in foreign and dopiest ic matters and urged "all patriotic Americans of all parties vote to give the President a chance to make good on his promises." Neuberger, speaking at Salem, and Sen. Albert Gore, Tennessee Democrat who spoke at Portland, attacked Cordon's record. Both pointed out the Cordon voted for the controversial Dixon-Yates util ity contract in the Tennessee Val ley. Gore said this was "a move to establish a private power beach head in TVA," and asserted the contract would cost the govern ment 140 million dollars more than if TVA built a ate am -generation plant.
