HARVBT, Jr. BALKM. April 20. (P) Oregon's registration fltrurea. which gave F- mibltcana a alight majority on the ba&ls of complete unofficial report from two-thlrda of Che 3fl counties, nuzzled political observers here. The switch In many counties to Democratic apparently was caused oy the Intense Interest In the DetnO' era tic gubernatorial primary, In which Oovernor Charles H. Martin, warrior against labor terrorism, la opposed by Henry L. Hess of LaOrande, labor candidate, and O. Henry Oleen of St. Helena, aelf-atyled "farmer - labor" candidate. - pro or Antlf . The Martin forces wera wondering whether the newly-registered Demo crats were pro-Martin or anti-Martin. There were report that the State Federation of Labor and the Oregon Commonwealth Federation, both arch foes of the governor, marshaled hun dreds of Republicans to county cl erica' offices to change their registration so they could vote against the gov ernor In the primary. But there also were rumors that many Republican supporters of the governor registered Democratic they could vote for Martin. Of the first 24 countlea to report, Democrats gained In 22, while Re publicans gained In five. New regis tration records were established tn IB. In 1938, when a record primary registration mark was established. Re publicans led, 233,000 to 200.000, but this year a new record Is certain. It la expected that the Republicans will maintain a slight lend, but Demo nrata will come the oloseat to getting the lead since Oregon became a state In I860. Multnomah Knljtma. Multnomah county Is the hardest county of all to figure out. Regis tration Increased from 161,883 to 174. 286 over 1 036, but the Democrats gained 23.000 while the Republicans loat 800. This would Indicate that Democrats won most of the new vot ers and that many changed their reg istration. Portland la the center of the governor's fight against labor leaders, but it Is Impossible to de termine whether the new Democrats are for or against him.. Two weeks ago, when the prlmat7 campaign began, the governor said ho would conduct a clean, quiet cam paign, and would "Ignore" his op ponents. But this week he said be would change his tactics. "I'll smoke my opponents out until they wlah they never had been In a campaign. When this la over, they'll know they've been In a fight," the governor said. At first the governor apparently believed his opposition would not amount to much, but now he real lues he must fight. At this week's board of control meeting, the governor became irri tated when other board members In stated on prolonging the d I scum Ion of a trivial matter. He got up and stalked out of the room, saying: "I haven't got time to waste any more time on this. I have too many other damned things to worry about." Now that President Roosevelt has announced the public worka admin 1st rat Ion would function agnln in his campaign to end recession, state of ficial are climbing on the band wagon. The board of control has started to apply for new grants, the first he ing the proponed $'200,000 tubercu IcAls hospital tn Portland. The PWA would spend 990,000 and the state M0.0O0. Most states, Oregon Included, are unable to resist a oh a nee to get fed eral money, even though state funds must match it. State Treasurer Rufus C. Holman, board member, doesn't aee things that way. He protested against matching fed eral money, asserting "every time we accept a federal grant. It cost the taxpayers money." Major-den. Oeorge A. White, com mander of the 41at division of the national guard. Including Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, has been "missing" for a month, and his aides claim they don't know where he la. He left here with Brlg.-Oen. Thomas E. Rllea, his as sistant, and neither has been seen since. No one can figure out why their activities are shroudrd in secrecy. Thoughts on the Capitol beat: We thought the governor would be msd at his chauffeur for running away with his speech In Portland the other day. hut be waa highly pieasrd. He said It was a good thing because the Willamette society wouldn't listen to a prepaied speech anyway. Reporters who wrote the prepared speech in ad vance were left holding the sack; agsin. . , . Labor leaders forgot some thing when they supported Atty.-Oen. I. H. VanWlnkle in his supreme court campaign against Justice Hall a Lus. They didn't remember that If VanWlnkle Is elected, the governor would be able to appoint an attorney-general. Mho might be Ralph Moody, the governors' special prose cutor In the labor terrorism cases. Old t ode Krnmatrd MIDVALK.
