VOTE
FACTOR
RACE
SALEM. Ore., May 14. (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. Manoney. of Klamath
Palls, mainly because of the phenom
enal vote-getting qualities he dis
played in the 1936 race against Sen

WASHINGTON. May 14. (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."
