Governor Views Ore. as Negro Heaven COLUMBIA, S.C. (UP)- South Carolina Gov. George Bell Tim merman Jr. today colled for fed eral transportation of all Negroes seeking integration to Oregon so that "peace and good will would be restored," Timmerman told the state Dem ocratic convention he selected Ore gon because botn U.S. senators from Oregon have been loudest in proclaiming the virtues of racial mixing and I assume they reflect the views of their people." The governor said the program could be carried out at a cost "only a fraction" of the federal government's foreign aid program. "It would enable the Negroes who want to mix to be settled in the cities and communities of Ore gon and other states where the people wont to mix with them," Timmerman said. "It would enable those Negroes in the South 'ho do not want to mix to live in peace and good will in the South. It would make the South nappy, j It would make the Neiroes who wont to mix happy. Peace and good will would be restored." GOPEriendof Laborin?Man, Smith Asserts NEWPORT Ore. W - The Re publican Party's long domination in Oregon was credited by Gov.

Paul Patterson, told a GOP banquet that Oregon was first and never below second in the nation in the .amount its workers re ceived in pay. This was due in part to "long term domination" by the Republicar Party in the state, Smith said. He also praised the Oregon tax setup. "There is no pleasant way to pay taxes. Bu' Oregon's situa tion is compared among the best in the nation and it can and will be improved," he said.
