McCoIl Sticking to State Issues When Tarn McCaJl.

Thta he U doing despite efforta of hla petnocratic opponent. Sen. Alfred Corbett. to draw him Into embroilmenta of the national presidential campaign. From our point of view, McCalt'a declaion U aound policy. It la logical to aaaume that voters are more Interetted In choosing a man on the basla of hla qualifications for the office he aeeka than in hla party Involvement or hla agility at political maneuvering. One can detect a WYarinesa on the part of the rank and file of the people towards political manipulations. There Is a higher echelon of those politically sagacious who have mastered the mechanics of politics so that they know what strings must be pulled, what strong candidates must be endorsed, and whose roattalls must be clung to In order to get the most votes. But the ordinary voter gets tired of all this. Listen to the derisive comment from television viewers whose home enter tainment diet is limited to the national conventions during the times they are In progress Republican and Democratic alike. Is it too naive to believe that the voter wants a man who Is going to do the most good In the Job he seeks? Even those men who approach the stature of statesmanship often degenerate to some degree of pseudo-sincerity at their party conventions. Gov. Mark Hatfield delivered an excellent keynote address at the Republican convention, marking him as a man of great stature, but he slipped Into the pitfall when he Indulged In such phrases as "sweeping the hi-fi set under the rug." (or similar words, reierrtng to the Boooy Bauer case. Sen. John Pastore did a fine job for the Democrats, too. but he Indulged In the same tactics when he chlded Gov. Hatfield for "writing his speech for Rockefeller, delivering it for Scranton" and added that the Oregon governor wound up being stuck with Gold water. Maybe our society Is such now that this is a necessary part of the Big Political Game. Maybe the voter Is a pawn to be enticed by tactics of sarcasm and Innuendo. But It Is refreshing when an earnest office-seeker steps out with a straightforward attitude and a strong program to present Tom McCall Impresses one with his positive approach. For Instance, he spoke Tuesday night of the alarming increase In the rate of crime, now accelerating In the proportion of 5 to 1 over the rate of population Increase. As a member of the state board of control, the secretary of state has a responsibility with state Institutions. McCall has some definite proposals to offer In meeting the crime Increase, among them the establishment of a "Halfway House" as a work-study center for youngsters whose behavior patterns seem to destine them for difficulty. This state now offers little for youngsters headed for trouble short of Hillcrest School for Girls and MacLaren School for Boys. McCall has a rare background of public concern and human itarian work. This led to his receiving the Brotherhood Award of the Oregon Regional Conference of Christians and Jews earlier this year. He was chairman of the Portland Multnomah county Metropolitan Youth Commission; he settled a sitdown strike at the Oregon State Penitentiary in 1950, negotiating with a 14-man Inmate committee; he served as executive secretary of legislative interim committees on Indian affairs, welfare, public employees retirement, legislative procedure, and sex offenses; he co-authored the report of the legislature's labor-management interim committee of 1959-60. McCall served two terms as president of the Oregon Prison association, two terms as president of the Oregon Society for Crippled Children and Adults, was a trustee of the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults, and was secretary of the Urban League of Portland. He is a member of the ad visory committee to the State Division of Mental Health, the boards of the Oregon Historical Society and the United Nations association, the Oregon Council on Crime and Delinquency, the Portland Interfaith commission, and the Portland school district committee on race and education. McCall Is also on the public relations committee of the Greater Portland Council of Churches. This gives some Idea of the scope of his activities. His ex perience includes that of being administrative assistant to Gov. Douglas McKay, and, of course, he achieved wide recog nition for his work on television and in radio and newspaper work prior to that Tom McCall strikes one as a man of boundless energy, ex ceptional capacity, keen concern, striking sincerity and out standing ability. His policy of a state candidate holding to state issues is a commendable one. As he puts it, in the places where state government falls short, "Big Brother," the federal government, steps in, adding to the ever-increasing centralization of govern ment. Fortunately, in men like Governor Hatfield, Secretary of State Howell Appling and State Treasurer Howard Belton, Oregon has had men of genuine motivation and sincere purpose as leaders. McCall shows promise of distinguished public service with a singleness of purpose to the Job at hand. Voters have the oppor tunity to scrutinize his qualifications in the two months ahead.

Much of the work is of the drab and wearying kind setting up booths, cleaning the quarters, pre paring the barns, taking care of livestock, handling the tremen dous amount of paper work necessary in keeping entries straight and recording premium winners. At the Morrow county fair, many of our workers and com mitteemen serve year after year. Of their number, the majority get very little recognition not so much even as getting their names in the paper. During fair week they are virtually confined to the grounds and their own home schedules are sacrificed. There are many in the county who appreciate what they do, and yet a large number of others who appear indifferent to this effort The question has been in mind recently, "Why do they go to this work and trouble?" the answer may be In the expression of Giles French of Moro, who came to visit the Morrow county fair Tuesday, and talked of it with enthusiasm later. "I know after going to a fair that there Is going to be some thing to eat next winter," he said. In stating it that way, one gets a clue to the incentive of those who toil to stage the fair. "When we prepare the ground properly, we harvest abun dantly," said the Sherman County visitor who has a facility for v. p.) Not to discourage Don, hut one man stopped the writer on the street and asked who -Bill" is. Looks like the party still has some distance to go. j REPUBLICANS this year have pretty much of a phonetic ad- vantage all the way around. "McCall" Is a name that lends itself to slogans "All for Mc Call." for instance. It's a little hard to think of something catchv lor Corbett Irvin Mann is a natural. "Mann's our Man," for instance. His opponent, Martin Buchan an, has a little tougher Job in the slogan department. Can't imagine Giles French spending much time on such a ' gimmick as a slogan, since he seems to have little time or pat ience for such things, but he might say. "French speaks Eng lish." Ben Musa, the Democratic Incumbent for senator, would re- auire a little more thought. Mayoe some ot our readers could come up with some ideas for the Demos. It will be interest- in? to see what can be done with "Lyndon and Hubert" for the campaign buttons. TURNER got to sloshing the paint so fast on the Repub lican headquarters that he mov ed right over and did Turner, van Marter and Bryant s build ing front, too. Hope that doesn't set a bad precedent lor the party painting buildings in an at tempt to win votes, but we're sure that Don did it purely out of the kindness of his heart. WHILE ALL this Improvement was going on, the Heppner Hotel Is blossoming too, under new paint, tyle Adams at the hotel is a hard worker and has been making all sorts of im provements, both Inside and out side. Saw him putting up a new I canopy the otner day, and the bright new paint followed. Things are underway by Mr. and Mrs. Heberts in making changes in the Hotel Grill, too. They stayed up till 5 a.m. the other night changing the booths around and putting up curtains.

YOU'RE INVITED TO THE 3 BAMCE SATURDAY AUG. 2 ANYONE WHO happened to be around at the time could have had a good laugh while we were taking pictures at the new rodeo orlice Monday. We had Secre tary Jack Locke, Chairman Floyd Jones and Director Tad Miller that we wanted to catch by the door of the new building. Trouble was. those big irri gation sprinklers were going to condition the grounds and settle the dust and they allowed only about 15 second intervals be tween revolutions, dousing the side of the building with each swipe. Poor Jack zlgged one time when he should have zagged, and he caught it full, thereby becoming a thoroughly soaked bank officer. Well, the three were about as restive as skittish young colts, but we managed to get their pictures between swipes, getting pretty well laundered ourselves in the pro cess. ONE LADY who deserves a medal from the rodeo is Thelma Smethurst who plays an important part in working out details of drawings, helping keep books on the entrants, as sisting with the smooth running of events, and acting as timer.
