''PORTLAND (UP Oregon vol-
erf yesterday rendered clear-cut
1 dc visions on .six of seven initiative
and referendum measures put be
, fore them on the state ballot.
Only on the issue of doubling
,'th? salaries of stale legislators did
f there appear In he any doubt of
ran outcome. Those opposing (he
increase were holding the edge as
'returns continued to come in and
'tlv measure was trailing by a
JlitUc more than three thousand
votes.
l The emergency clause measure,
considered crucial by both parties
in the stale, was being defeated
,b; a heavy margin that approach
ed 100,000 votes on the basis of
stilt incomplete returns. That was
th! widest margin turned in on
any of the seven issues as Ore-1
gonians apparently accepted Ihe
Democratic argument thai (he
measure was a Republican tactic
t. enact a sales tax "by the back
!doo"."
The three -cent cigaretlc lax
' '$ole was a repeat of a familiar
refrain. Oregon voters wanted no
part of a tax levied against its
. cigarette smokers and dumped
the proposal by more than 40,000
votes.
The proposal to permit Iho state
' to accept gifts of stocks of private
..corporations won easily, going in
, to the stretch moving ahead. A
' margin of some 54,000 votes made
" it almost a "no contest." The
' mc.-i.surc had no organized opposi-;
tion.
Sporls and loiirisf-minded Ore
, gonians agreed with wildlife and
conservation orgnizations who
. claimed that commercial fishing
'should be banned in all coastal
' streams south of the Columbia
river. "Yes" votes were well
ahead. Commercial fishing and
! cannery interests opposed the
measure.
; Voters liked Lite proposition that
the Legislature should decide the
' qualifications of county coroners
- and surveyors. Ihe measure had
s an advantage of more than 24,itoC
votes and next session of the Leg-
islature will probnbly result In a
Z law requiring surveyors to- be
! mirveyors and coroners to hnvc
jome background in their field.
i A 2fi,000-vote margin was holft-
ii in.; firm in the vote to change ine
j constitutional limit on salaries of

Greatest Novel Ever Written... Now Magnificently
Board Accepts
Morse Ballot
Dver Challenge
EUGENE (UP I A Eugene
election board yesterday, alter
due consideration, accepted the
challenged vote of Sen. Wayne
Morse.
The right of the Democratic
senator to cast his vote in the
election was challenged by Wood
row Smith, Hood River service
station operator who made an un
succesful attempt to win the
Democratic party nomination
from Morse in the May primary.
Smith maintained a six hour
vigil outside the voting place yes
terday until the senator showed
up to cast his ballot at 2 p.m.
Mrs. Pearl Pallette, an election
judge, listened to the challenge
and administered the election oath
to Morse as required by law. Aft
er the challenge was issued, the
board considered the challenge
and' decided that the documents
submitted by Smith in his conten
tion that Morse was a Republican
rather than a Democrat only
proved that the senator had
changed his party, registration.
The events took place in the
crowded kitchen of the M. J.
Gleason home, the voting location
for Friendly precinct.
Smith explained as he made his
challenge that "he didn't have it
in for Morse he merely doubted
that he was a Democrat." Smith
had earlier made several unsuc
cessful legal attempts to establish
this as a fact.
