KEPFNEI GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. Mar 11 1W Primary Election Set for Tuesday; Campaign Quiet (Continued from page 1) as a majority crt his own bal lot, he will be consirered elect ed. The same contest for repre sentative In the leelslature. 28th district, that faced voters in the general election of 14 will come up again in the fall, with Irvln Mann, Republican, victor in the first race and pres ent representative, running un opposed on his ballot, and Mar tin Buchanan. Democrat, back again on the Democratic ballot without opposition. No political excitement is Generated on this position at this time but a live ly campaign is expected this fall At the statewide level are some of the more interesting: races In the primary election. Robert W. (Bob) Straub, pres ent state treasurer, is opposed in his bid for Democratic nom ination for Governor bv State Senator Ben Musa of The Dalles, Kmmet Rogers of Polk countv and Marearet Marv Fields of Portland. The real "race is eon- ceaea to oe oetween Mrauo and Musa. McCall Win Conceded For the same position on the Republican ballot, Tom McCall. Secretary of State, is matched against John Laurin Revnolds. McCall is almost certain to be an easy victor, and again, the real race will come in the fall when McCall faces either Straub or Musa. While there are no candidate5 for Commissioner of the Bur eau of Labor on the ReDubli- can ballot, the Democratic can didates draw some interest, t Norman Nilsen. incumbent who is opposed by C. D. Chuck Hoffman, who served as head of the apprenticeship program under Nilsen until they were involved in a controversy, and Hoffman filed against him. Another state contest is on the nonpartisan ballot with Superintendent of Instruction Leon P. Minear. incumbent, being challenged bv Walter S. Blake. Jr.. former dean of men at Willamette University. Sa lem. This race is drawing eon- siderable Interest statewide, Dr. Blake's appeal being that of, "fewer frills and more funda mentals" while Dr. Minear stresses experience and profes sionalism. At the national level, the po sition of U. S. Senator, to be vacated by Senator Maurine Neuberger. draws top interest around the state. On the Dem ocratic ticket, Howard Morgan and Congressman Robert Dun can are conducting a vigorous campaign with the Vietnam is sue being the predominant bas is of their labors. Almost for gotten is a third man on the ticket for the position, Gilbert L. Meyer of Troutdale. ! For the nomination for sena- tor on the Republican ballot Governor Hatfield is opposed by three candidates, none of whom is given much of a chance of defeating him. They are George Altvater. Jim Baca loff, and Walter Huss. Again the "main event" is expected in the general election. Nomination of Congressman Al Ullman is opposed by Wm. Quigley of Baker on the Demo cratic ballot with Everett Thor en, who ran in 1964, on the Re publican ticket. The two measures on which voters will decide will be: L Whether to impose a 4c per Dack tax on cigarettes with the estimated $10 million annual revenue earma r k e d against property taxes and for counties and cities. 2.

Bochee Speaks On Youth Needs At Chamber Meet Youth of the community feel that there is a lack of Interest In them as persons by leaders of the community. This was the thought ex pressed bv the Rev. Al Bosohee, vouth activities chairman of the Heppner-Morrow Countv Cham ber of Commerce, who spoke on the suhteet of needs of vouth at the Monday meeting of the organization. The Rev. Boschcc said that youth problems here are in four areas: 1. Not enough recreation. Adults mav disagree, he said. but the feeling that there Is a lack of recreation in the coun tv is a reality on the part of youth. 2. Alcohol. Young people are getting alcohol, and it is get ting them into problems, he said. 'There is nuve of this than we realize." the speaker said. 3. Economic or vocational op portunities are lacking. Young people go to college and few come back, the Rev. Boschee said. "We lose the cream of the crop to other areas." 4. Moral problems. "A lot of us would like to close our eyes to these and sav we don't have them. We need to face them squarely." Young people want more re sponsibility, the youth chair man said. "We should try to give them more responsibility in our own homes. Basically, delinquent children come from delinquent homes." he said. He added that the economic status of the home and the living conditions are not the principal factors in de termining whether a home is "delinquent." Parents are largely responsi ble for those young people who seem to have a disrespect for law or other people, he said. "How many parents have left their children in the car. given them a penny and told them that if they see a cop come by. to put the penny In the meter real quick?" The youth chairman said that he feels that establishment of a youth center in the county Is a real need for the age group here. cide how the State Superinten dent of Public Instruction shall be chosen, in essence making It an appointive office instead of an elective office.
