Oregon's primary election cam
paign moved into high gear to
day with orthodox republicans
trying to unseat U. S. Senator
Wayne Morse and the democrats
attempting to deliver the state
to the Truman "fair deal."
Oregon, faestest growing state
in the nation, was the only state
west of the Mississippi that gave
its electoral votes to Gov. Tho
mas E. Dewey in the 1948 gen
eral election, after choosing
Dewey over Harold E. Stassen
in a crucial primary.
Battle Royal Shaping
Now, a battle royal was shap
ing up between the two major
parties for control of thousands
of "new votes," particularly in
the Portland metropolitan area,
which may decide whether the
state will remain republican. The
primary election will be held
May 19.
The biggest fight centered
around Senator Morse, who has
aligned himself in many senate
controversies with democrats or
the extreme liberal wing of the
republican party, thus earning
the enmity or opposition of
down-the-line Oregon republi
cans. Anti-Morse republicans have
agreed upon Dave Hoover, a
Deadwood, Ore., farmer and po
litical neophyte as their standard-bearer.
Hoover is a home
spun candidate who bitterly op
poses Morse's brand of republi
canism. Write Letters
A rancher who specializes in
guernsey cattle breeding. Hoov
er rolls his own cigarettes and
first attracted attention with a
series of letters to the editor of
the Eugene, Ore., Register-Guard
in which he proclaimed his phil
osophy of "Liberty versus So
cialism." Hoover, in his preliminary
campaign speeches throughout
the state, has attacked the Mar
shall plan as a waste of money
in the "European rathole," con
demned overspending by the
Truman administration, advocat
ed reduction of taxes and a dras
tic trimming of federal bureau
cracy. In his opening campaign
speech, Hoover asserted that
Norman Thomas, the socialist
had referred to Morse as my
favorite republican senator." He
said republicans in Oregon now
suspect him for the friends he
has made."
Morse, busy in the senate, has
not yet formally answered
Hoover's campaign attacks.
Howard F. Latourette, Port
land attorney, and Dr. Louis A.
Wood, professor emeritus at the
University of Oregon, are seek
ing the democratic nomination
for Morse's post.
287 Candidates
There are a total of 287 candi
dates running for national, state
and judicial offices a new rec
ord for the state and indicative
of the hot interest in state and
national politics this year.
A sidelight of the campaign
will be the administration's pro
posed Columbia valley adminis
tration, which most democratic
candidates have espoused as a
vital regional plank in the Tru
man "fair deal" and which most
republicans oppose as an unwar
ranted attempt by the federal
government to establish a dicta
torship over development of na
tural resources in the Pacific
northwest.
Democrats headed by National
Committeeman Monroe Sweet-
land hae made campaign claims
of solid progress, particularly in
urban centers.

Oregon shipped 23 cars of

Huge Strides in
Northwest Industry
Expected in Future
Portland, Ore., Apr. 21 (U.R)
Ivan Bloch, consultant to the
Port of Portland, predicts that
about 4 million tons of cargo
will be brought into lower Col
umbia ports assigned to electro
process industries during the
period between 1960 and 1970.
He asked port interests to
aggressively plan" .'or construc
tion of loading and unloading
facilities to handle the ship
ments.
Enormous Strides Seen
He told the Propellor club
that enormous strides will be
made in all categories of industry
in the Pacific Northwest, but
major growth will take place in
those relying on the northwest's
supply of low-cost power and
pure water.
"One of the factors that in
creases dependence on electrical
power as a basic raw material,"
he said, "is that a large portion
of today's metals and chemicals
can only be manufactured in the
electric furnace and the electro
lytic cell."
He estimated that require
ments for bauxite the alumi
num industry's raw material
would expand to 2.7 million
tons from 1960 to 1970.
Small Business Loan
Insurance Favored
Washington, Apr. 21 (U.R)
A commerce department advis
ory committee thinks the gov
ernment should insure loans to
small businessmen in much the
same way it now guarantees
housing loans to builders.
The proposal was advanced
yesterday by a small business
advisory group headed by Walter
R. Bimson, president of the
Valley National bank, Phoenix,
Ariz. Under the plan, govern
ment insurance of business loans
would be limited to $25,000 in
each case.
Papers Should Be
Free Press Watchdog
Washington. Apr. 21 (U.R)
The American Society of News
paper Editors opened its three
day annual convention today
with a warning from its presi
dent that it should be the watch
dog of a free press, not the cop
looking for minor violations.
Ben M. McKelwav. editor of
the Washington Star and retir
ing ASNE president, told some
400 members that "informed
criticism of the press is healthy."
a noma se vigilant
But. he added, the society
should be vigilant against "any
thing that attacks the principle
of a free press." In local viola
tions of this inherent right, he
said, the members individually
should be vigilant.
"Our experience, and not lack
of courage, should make us cau
tious of any proposition to set
ourselves up as an organization
that passes judgment upon the
too frequently generalized criti
cism of press performance," he
said. "For that would be a pre
tentious undertaking, beyond our
capabilities as a society and very
apt to collide with principles
basic to a free press.
