POLITICAL ROUXDI P
Polls Point to Ike
McKay
By JAMES D. OLSON
Captltal Journal Political Editor
National polls and surveys all
point to another victory in Oregon
for Dwight D. Eisenhower in the
election Tuesday, as well as
a win in the naljon tor the Presi-i
dent that may result in a landslide. I
The polls and surveys, all agreed!
on an Eisenhower victory, include'
'.he Gallup poll, published in the '
Cipita! Journal, the Kopcr poll,!
Sam Lubell poll, a nationwide sur-l
vcy oy a large team of writers of
the New York Times, another sur
vey made in the field by editors of
U.S. News and World Report and
Time magazine.
Of course these polls were made
several weeks ago, when it was
noted by all that the President had
been gaining in most sections of
the country but that in Oregon
Douglas McKay was trailing Wayne
Morse.
McKay Forces Predict Win
Since that time reports from all.
sections ot me state indicate that
McKay has risen rapidly in the
voters favor and there arc a num
ber n( Republican leaders who now
freely predict that McKay will de
feat the senior senator of Oregon.
Of course, the Democratic leaders
don't agree with this.
Monday is the last day in
which candidates may campaign
for tomorrow the voters will
march to the polls, in numbers
election experts say will break
records, and mark their ballots for
General Use of 'Frozen Sleep'
In Heart Operations Forecast
CHICAGO tfl Two Denver
physicians predicted today that
most if not all heart operations in
the future will be performed with
superior results while the patient
is in "frozen sleep."
Drs. Henry Swan and S. Gil
bert Blount Jr. based this view
on the results of 120 such opera
tions they performed on patients
suffering from heart defects that
threatened death.
The doctors said the technique,
In which the patient's body tem
perature is lowered to 84.2 to 89.2
degrees, enables the surgeon to
shut off the blood flow to and
from the heart and operate on a
"dry field" with direct vision.
The lower body temperature
greatly slows all body functions,
including heart beat and blood
flow.
The doctors gave their opinion
in an article in the Journal of the
American Medical Assn.
The doctors said there were 19
deaths in the first series of 111
patients, but only one additional
death in the next series of 19 pa
tients. They attributed the lower mor
tality rate among Ihe more recent
patients in part of the avoidance

their candidate
On a state level in the fight for
governorship, Elmo Smith, who
succeeded to the chief executive
chair upon the death of Paul L.
rauerson, is lavored to win over
his democratic opponent, Robert
Holmes.
The lattcr's campaign has been
hurt by statements concerning Gov.
Smith's voting record in the state,
assertions which have been proven
to be erroneous and not based on
senate records.
State Senator Mark Hatfield ap
pears far in front of his fellow
state senator Monroe Sweetland in
the race for secretary of state
while State Treasurer Sig Unander,
who has scarcely any opposition
from the Democratic nominee,
Wiley Smith, ot Portland, is ex
pected to win by a handsome ma
jority. Attorney General Race Tossup
The race for Attorney General
seems to be a tossup between At
torney General Robert V. Thorn
ton and State Senator Carl Francis
of Dayton. Thornton was elected
four years ago with thousands of
Republican votes because of dis
satisfaction with the Republican
nominee at that time. He cannot
look forward to again receiving all
these votes.
Moreover he has been busily en
gaged in connection with the Port
land vice probe, which observers
say haven't gone too well, thus far.
Whether this will result in a loss of
of excessively low body tempera
tures. Temperatures below 84.2
degrees appeared to interfere with 1
blood clotting mechanism and,
cause irregularities of heart ac
tion. Only one of the 120 patients
failed to show some degree of im
provement. The doctors found that the blood
flow through the heart of patients
in "frozen sleep" can be stopped
safely up to eight minutes. The
only surgery attempted was that
which could be completed within
that time.
Patients can be put under hypo
thermia "frozen sleep" by
packing them in ice.

Fomer Forester
In Midst of Pakistan Program
By MARGARET MAGEB I
Capital Journal Writer
Being in another hemisphere has
not lessened the interest of George
Spaur, former , Oregon state for
ester in Oregon in its forests.
Spaur, now in hast Pakistan
with the interdational cooperation
administration as an advisor to
the minister of forests for Kast
Pakistan, wrote Stale Forester
Dwight Phipps recently:
Have been following the fire
season in the Capital Journal quite
closely and up to August 12 lour
last edition of the Capital Journal)
you have had an outstanding
year."
In the letter he also tells ot
some of his work in Pakistan,
where he has been since October,
1955. Of this he writes:
"I just returned from a most
interesting and productive trip Into
the Hin.alaya mountains of West
Pakistan. The forests are primar
ily of mixed coifcrous hardwood
types. On the lower elevations up
to about 5,000 feet they are Choir
Pine tPinus Longifelia) a three-
needle yellow pine.
In fact the country closely re
sembles the area around Klamath
Falls, only the hills have more
grass and vegetation. From 5,000
to about 10,000 feet the forests arc
Blue Pine (Pinus Excelsia) a fine
needle pine closely resembling our
sugar pine, except not so large
(seldom over 40 inches in di
ameter) and Deodora. The forests
are mixed with scattered individu
al trees of horse chestnut, cherry,
maples, oaks and walnut.
Noting that he flew within 50
miles of Mt. Everest and took pic
tures, Spaur said that the highest
peak in the area where he was
working is 17,800 feet, compared
to Mt. Everest with its 29.000 feet.
Commenting that there were
many interesting things in the
mountains of West Pakistan, he
wrote:
REPUBLICAN LEADER FOR 30 YEARS
SUPPORTS WAVM MORSE
Herb Cox, Eugene lumber dealer and manager of Senator -Wayne
Morse's 1950 campaign, has switched from the GOP
and is supporting Wayne Morse for re-election.
"My business is lumber and the lumber business is in trouble. The hard money policies,
opposed by Senator Morse since their inception by the Eisenhower Administration, have
led to a decline in home buying and building by pushing interest rates up and making
mortgage money scarce,"
COX IS PERSONAL FRIEND OF McKAY
"Although I value our personal friendship, I am unequivocally convinced that the polit
ical philosophy of Douglas McKay is in full accord with the will and dictum of Republican
Party bosses and absolutely contrary to the best interests of Oregon and our Nation.
Herb Cox is only one of hundreds of people in the lumber business who are switching
to the Democratic Parry. Here's proof:
