(UP) With a week left In the primary race for nominations, the Oregon political situation seemed simmering down to one thing today a race between Gov Charles H. Martin and Henry Hear of La Oranda for tbe Democratic nomination for governor. Political forecasters are divided In their opinions as to the outcome of that race. Martin, who has based hla campaign on hla drive against labor "goons" and his assertion that he la anti-racketeer and not anti-union la generally conceded the edge In non-lndustrlal districts, with Hess favored In lumbering comunltles and In Portland. According to the best Information available here, the race will be won or lost In Multnomah county (Portland), the governor's chances depending on how great his margin Is there. Observers were divided In their opinion as to the ultimate result of President Roosevelta Indirect wun drawal of any possible benefit which might have accrued from a statement Governor Martin attributed to the president In which Roosevelt was suppesed to have said "Governor, you and I make a good pair." Some saw the Roosevelt denial as a rebuke to the governor, who has not always bandied the administra tion's policies with gloved -hands while otherB looked upon it merely as a reluctance on the part of Roose velf to enter the Oregon primary situation. On tho Republican aide of the gubernatorial race, Charlea Spraguc of Salem, conservative who la avow edly out to rehabilitate his party, la generally conceded an advantage over Sam Brown of Gorvals, who will have to divide the Republican liberal votes with J. W. Norton of Hood River; M. S. Schrock, Mllwaukle: Clarence R. Wagoner, Portland; Charles , L. Paine, Eugene; R. J. Hendricks, Salem, and Henry M. Hanzen, Portland. Willis E.

(AP) A superstition - of Venezuelan natives that airplanes devour the sun and the moon may have been respon sible for the supposed death ot the American aviator Paul Red fern, says Henry S. VUlaxd, state department official. Paul Redfern disappeared Aug. 27 1927, while flying from Brunswick. Oa., to Rto De Janeiro. He last was sighted by a Norwegian Iramp steam er 200 miles off the coast of Venezuela. One expedition after another has sought him In vain. VUlard, who hoa been secretary of the American legation at Caracas, Venezuela, concludes that Redfern's plane landed In the tree tops of the Jungle near Salto Hagha, near the Caronl river. Re says: "Whatever signal flares the unfor tunate flyer might have set off -in tho gathering darkness would prob ably have played upon the supersti tions of the natives, rather than attracting them to the scene, for there Is a widespread belief in that primitive region that the great me chanical birds of the white men devour the sun and the moon. "Not. even a smoke signal haa much chance of being seen; the vegetation is so Incredibly tall and thick that It has no chance of escape. And the Junglo iBoor la too often a trackless labyrinth for those who try to pene trate It without an expert guide." 4 Nted Dead BOSTON. May 14. (AP) Brig.
