WpkT NEWSPAPI. ff3A PUBIISHIM VE-ASSOCIATION MAIL TRIBUNE Editorial Correspondence New York City, N.Y., May 19 Thig is "Der Tag" in Oregon. It is also an important day in the country politically, as the follow ing article from last night'! New York World-Telegram-Sun de monstrates: Washington, May 18 Results from Oregon'! primary election tomorrow will be analyzed with particular care by Washington politicos, for possible trends of the times. The republican senatorial primary race in that normally republi can state has many of the elements of the) Pepper-Smatheri race in Florida with reverse twists. Candidates in this Oregon primary are the incumbent in dependent republican Wayne Morse, David I. Hoover, a far mer, and John McBride, who has been secretary to Rep. Comp ton White of Idaho. The main fight is between Morse and Hoover. Hoover is an Indiana-born democrat who got fed up with the New Deal and turned republican. He came to Oregon early in the war years after a somewhat frustrating career as a dep uty sheriff in Los Angeles. He was a last minute choice of conservative Oregon republicans who wanted to defeat Morse, , e e The primary campaign has been particularly vicious poli tics. Senator Morse, back In Washington between political commuting trips to the Pacific coast, said they threw every thing at him. The main charge, of course, is that Morse has been too liberal, that he has been more like a New Deal democrat than a republican. The charge against him was that he has voted with the democrats 71 per cent of the time. Morse says his real record is that he has voted with the republicans 53 per cent of the time. His trouble, of course, stems from the fact that he always has been completely independent. He refuses to follow any leadership. In his campaign speeches he said repeatedly that he will not blindly follow the GOP dictators, but will vote on every issue on its merits as he sees it. e e e e Morse says this has caused his campaign managers untold anguish, but it got him a hand at his rallies. He insists that the job isn't worth having on any other conditions. The na tional, political question it raises is whether any party is will ing to accept independent thinkers, or whether they must all be party regulars. Being an independent, Mr. Morse says he has not had the full backing of the republican machine. The republicans want ed him to win, but by not too big a majority. The man doing publicity for his rival, Hoover, nas oecn tne party s regular public relations consultant. Another of the charges thrown against Morse in the cam paign was a statement that he once served as a character wit ness for Harry Bridges, West Coast Longshoremen's union leader. Morse has answered that the record on this one was simplv what he knew about Bridges in his appearances before the National War Labor board, of which Morse was a mem ber. In these war labor esses. Morse testified that Bridces kept his word and that he supported the war effort. Morse said he didn't know anything more about the man than that. But because Bridges has been on trial for perjury in swearing that he had never been a communist, Morse's evidence was turned against him. Still another of the campaign stories told against Morse was that his wife had not appeared with him on the primary campaign platform. There was an inference of domestic dif ficulty attached to this recital. The real reasons for this, Morse had to explain, were three. One was that his wife had to stay in Washington with their daughters. Another was that the Morses couldn't afford an extra $200 plane fare bill every time the senator went home to make a speech. Finally, Mrs. Morse admitted that two days of strenuous campaigning such as the senator practiced, would have put her in bed for a week. e While most of the attention in the Oregon primary has been centered on the republican campaign, the democratic race has been not without interest. Rival candidates were Howard Latourette and Louis A. Wood. Latourette is a modest, con servative who has been in Oregon politics for some years, and served in the state senate. Wood is a professor of economics at University of Oregon. He was defeated in the race for con gress by Rep. Harris Ellsworth. The interesting thing about Oregon politics this year is that the state has been gaining in population since the war, and for the first time has showed more registered democrats than republicans. What this will do In the November election will be worth watching. The author of the above is one of the Scripps-Howard star political reporters, Peter Edson, who is a friend and admirer of Oregon's Junior senator, as are mo.-jt of the Washington corres pondents, regardless of politics. Of course it will all be over several days before this is printed in ihm m T hut recnrrllps of the outcome, we believe there will be considerable reader-interest In of giving what might be termed a the state s political situation. Hone the weather is better out consecutive dav there are leaden skies nnd a pesky irritating pin point drizzle; riot enough to materially improve the water supply, but too much to make baseball or any other outdoor sport or acti vity enjoyable. Rained out elsewhere "we the people" took In the new show at the Radio Center, and for the SECOND time in six months, the movie was worth seeing. (That Is a pretty good average for pictures at Mr. Rockefeller's palatial emporium.) The stage show, however, is always worth the price of admission, and this occasion was no exception. The movie was "Father of the Bride" in which Spencer Tracy stars as "father" and finally gets a part suited to his character, standing and abilities. Quite appropriately in view of all the fan fare about the wedding, the recent Hilton-Taylor weddinR, the glamorous Elizabeth Taylor Is the bride, while Joan Bennett and Billie Burke take mother roles, both demonstrating that life in Hollywood certainly can't be very wearing or debilitating as far as tlie gentler sex "is concerned. Billie B. is old enough to be a grandmother and Joan B. Is one. in this movie both could pass as extremely attractive young women, especially the latter. In fact while Miss Taylor Is very sweet and photogenic, there is a vague suggestion of the insipid and colorless about her. totnlly lin king in the two venerable veterans, Burke and Bennett. They give the impression of heing very much the reverse. perhaps too much as fur as the latter Is concerned. It's a good show, a genuine comedy, and appealing as it does to both sexes and nil ages it should net at least a million dollnrs. Speaking of entertainment the best show in town for the nionev we said for the money is the vaudeville revival at the old Palace. II was started Just a year ago and from the first has been a great entertainment and financial success. This week the first anniversary is being celebrated with a long line of "horse and hiufirv" veteran's, mnnv were to be seen on the coast 40 years ago. There Is a flat charge' of 65 cents, excellent vaudeville skits, but always a movie and as iar as tne writer's experience goes always a good one. There are four or five shows a dav and the SHO sign is out at every one. We do not know how it would be In any other city in the land, hut in New York vaudeville has come back with a bang and apparently to slay. Luler: According to the latest report over the air (this is Sat urdav a.m.) Senator Morse has been renominated by a vote of ap nroxitnntelv two to one. We never shared the alarm of some of our republican friends that Wayne beaten. Hut the opposition was so well siaiterl and financed iwnerr did the money come from anyway?) and Indulged in such irrespons ible personal abuse and misrepresentation that toward the end we feared the result might be too close for comfort. A two-to-one margin however, is. under the circumstances, entire satisfactory and cause for general rejoicing. Now the republicans should for eel their differences, vield to the verdict of their oartv maturity. and unite to assure another term in the opinion of this department, lightened, courageous and effective representatives of Ihe state ever to be sent to Washington. Quite appropriately the sun is breaking through the clouds as this is being written, after three days of gloom and drizzle. "!! RWR. Eugene Youth Held In Death of Child Eugene. Ore..

Co-ops Defended By Fruit Man in Talk To Rotary The United States is becoming a nation of employees and the farmers, representing a S'iO mil lion industry, form the link be tween capital and labor. Only through cooperatives, which are simplv "corporate partnerships can they avoid the inequities re sulting from selling at whole sale prices and buy at retail prices. This was the keynote of an address before the Medford Rotary club Tuesday noon at the Jackson hotel by Shelby Tuttle, local fruit man. In presenting the case of the much-maligned "co-ops," Tuttle pointed out that farmers today as individuals cannot compete with large operators without group partner ships. Historical background for such operation was cited as far back at 2000 B.C. Not "Too Big" The charge that cooperatives are getting too big was refuted by Tuttle, who said the com bined co-ops today represent an organization comparable to the single General Motors opera tions. Tax payments are likewise in alignment with industry gen erally despite claims otherwise, the speaker told Rotarians. The charge of socialism hurled at co ops was disclaimed because par ticipation in savings affected by farmers is in direct ratio to goods bought or services ren dered. Newspaper press associations, food chains, insurance organiza tions, mutual savings banks, hank clearing houses and the Railway Express organization were listed as generally accept ed operations with similar func tions as farm cooperatives, he said, and stressed the Import ance of keeping co-ops on a clean, competitive basis. Bond Man Speaks In a brief address preceding Tuttle's discussion, George Mimnaugh. Portland, slate ad ministrator of the United States savings bond organization, em phasized the need for thrift as a bulwark against depression and as an "insurance policy" to stabilize business In uregon. Current federal deficit financing was scored by Ihe speaker. "Families cannot ooerate that way and Ihe nation is comprised of a large group of families," he said. Oregonians must discontinue Ihe grab for federal funds to further local projects and must put a stop to excessive spend ing by choosing only men for public office who will insist up on economy, he said, and the current savings bond drive was recommend as a means of get ting people who work to .save and thus create a reserve for the future. Mimnaugh was introduced by Morris Leonard, Jackson coun ty chairman for Ihe savings bond drive. Also in town this week in Ihe Interest of the bond drive were Mian Rineheart and Don Smith, both Portland, who spoke to various organizations here. Rine heart addressed the Lions club at noon yesterday, and Smith was to speak before the other L,ions ciuo tins ween. i The name "Mendocino" ap peared on a map, as early as 1587, designating a California cane. 50PURE...

S 21 1 M-JI7 in the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Politics: In North Carolina this coming Saturday tney'll hold a Drimarv election which, the dispatches say "may show in more detail how southern democratic voters fel about President Truman's fair dear program. There will be three candidates for senator Graham, the pres ent incumbent, who is described by his backers as an "outstand ing southern liberal," which means to tag his as a fair deal er; a lawyer named Smith and an ex-senator named Reynolds (who, as I recall it, married big money a while back and right after that got defeated). Smith, the lawyer, appears to be just a plain southern conserv ative trying to unseat a new dealer-fair dealer. Reynolds ap parently just wants to get back in office. His idea is to put a stop to foreign-aid spending and "red-ink" government spending and pay everybody over 65 a pension of $100 a month. f)OWN south there is only ONE party. The primary election is the only one that counts. BUT. you'll notice, down there the democratic party SPLITS UP INTO FACTIONS that represent about the same views held else where in the country. WAR: Gen. Lawton Collins, our army chief of staff, tells a radio inter viewer in Washington that the army has a new anti-aircraft rocket than can be fired 12 miles up in the air and will be capable of DESTROYING ATTACKING PLANES. It is called Loki. Loki was the god of Norse mythology who was supposed to be able to re lease at will the armed hosts of hades. "That." General Collins says, "is exactly what we intend to do if anyone ever attacks the United States." ONE DAY somebody tells us we're helpless and unarmed and wouldn't be able to do much more than spit back at the Rus sians if they should tackle us and the next day somebody else gives us to understand that if the Russkies are saps enough to jump us they'll certainly wish they hadn't. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could really BELIEVE some body? M ORE politics: Britain's labor government chiefs, according to a London dispatch, decided at a top brass meeting over the week-end to maybe "water down their social ist projects and try to rule for at least another year with their present skimpy majority in par liament." w HY? Oh, that's easv. AT THE RE CENT ELECTION THEY NEAR LY GOT VOTED OUT OF POW ER. That scares politicians as nothing else can. If our spenders in congress should be quite generally DE FEATED at our election in No vember and in their place there should be elected sincere believ ers in economy, RECKLESS SPENDING WOULD COME TO A STOP with squealing tires and long skid marks on the pave ment. As soon as spending quits be ing popular, it will be a dead duck.
