Porter, Eugene at torney and Democratic candi date for congress, was introduc ed and showed assay charts in connection with the Al Serena mining claim case which he has mentioned frequently in his campaign for office. He also : expressed his belief that all candidates should cam paign in a free and open matter, debating with their "opponents telling the voters where they stand on issues, appearing on the same platform with their opponents, and answering all questions. ' Porter also said he advocates legislation which would make, it possible for candidates to ap pear before the voter?, so that they could be compared as to qualifications and abilities. Ellsworth Not Present Congressman Harris E 1 1 s worth, Porter's Republican op ponent who was scheduled to be at the meeting, did not appear. Local candidates who were introduced, and who said only a few words of greeting, includ ed Howard Gault, Republican candidate for reelection as sher iff; Ed Mann, unopposed Repub lican for reelection to the legis lature; Chester Wendt, Republi can candidate for county-commissioner; Paul Selby, candidate for mayor of Medford, and Car los Morris, Republican candidate for county coroner. . The two honof guests were Mrs. Bereth P. Hopkins, county clerk the Republican candidate for that office, and Cecil Nor ris, the Democratic candidate. Norris' remarks were concern ed mostly with the "political monopoly" Republicans have held in Oregon for many dec ades, "particularly , in Jackson county." The last Democratic county clerk was elected in 1902, Norris said, and the last man to hold the office was first elected 20 years ago. Mrs. Hop kins was appointed to succeed him "under the spoils system, Norris said. Cites Campaign Costs . He said that in 1952, Republl ran a an pnt 11 times as much money in the campaign as the Democrats, and spent more in Jackson county alone than the Democrats spent in the entire state. He cited increased un emnlnvment and the loss of population and industrial devel opment to Washington and Cal ifornia as reasons for voting for Democratic candidates. Mrs. Hopkins described the tnany duties which go with the job of clerk-recorder in Jackson county. These include record keeping and preparation for the district, county and circuit courts; recording and filing of all county papers, handling vir tually everything concerned with elections, sale and record ing of all types of license, prep aration of the budget, and many other chores. 'Hub' of Government The Job is the "hub of the county government," she stated, and requires good deputies who know their Jobs. She said the present staff in the clerk's office is "one of the finest any one could have," with a feeling of harmony on the Job. She agreed with Morris that arance the job' should be -non-political, and that candidates should be elected on their qualifications. She said she had enjoyed the work, and hoped to be elected to put into effect plans she has made for added improvements in the efficiency of the office, - Ernest Kennedy, Lions pro gram chairman, introduced the candidates. Bob Dames, presi dent of the Medford Lions club, presided. Minnesota Senator Here for Cordon; Form Truth Squad' U. S. Sen.

The court also said Pro voo was improperly examined by government attorneys. The government took the case before a special Grand Jury in Baltimore rather than appeal to a higher court. Income Tax Envelope Stripe May Not Be Washington (U.R) Tax law experts said today the Internal Revenue Service's plan to indi-, cats' a taxpayer's income by col ored stripes on his instruction form envelope is probably not a 'federal law violation. They conceded that under the law, it is a crime for any offi cial of the service to disclose the amount or source of a taxpayers income to anyone not authorized to receive such data by law. Doesn't Disclose Exact Income But they said the service's present plan would not disclose a taxpayer's exact income and, as such, comes within a twilight section of the law. As such, they said, the agency's lawyers prob ably had justification for allow ing' the practice. The service announced its new procedure last week. Under its operation, envelopes bearing income tax instruction sheets sent to taxpayers with incomes ol $10,000 or over this year will Medfor Unlttd PnntvIX Land Win 49th Year 22 Pages Eisenhower Slates Washington Talk, Four-State Flight Tour Designed To Bolster Candidates .; Washington (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower will make a major political speech here to night and then fly into four cru cial states tomorrow to beef up the GOP's final drive for victory Nov. 2.

'The White House disclosed that the President will pack to morrow's aerial campaigning into 12 crowded hours.

' Crucial States In all of the four states Re publican candidates have been reported in particularly tight races.

There he will drive to the tseart of the city and make his speech from the City Hall steps fac ing Cadillac square.

Power Cooperative Protests Cordon Link Boise (U.R) The Oregon Electric Cooperative Association last night issued a statement protesting "attempt to associ ate it with an endorsement of Sen. Guy Cordon (R-Ore.), now campaigning for reelection." Lee Woodin, president of the cooperative group who is attend ing a. region-wide cooperative meeting here, said the Oregon Public Power Committee, "a self-styled public power commit tee for Cordon," included in its membership Clarence Belnap, one time president of the state cooperative association. "The 33,000 members of the Oregon State Cooperative Asso ciation cannot object to Mr. Bel nap personally supporting Mr. Cordon if he so wishes," Woodin said. "We do object strenuously to Mr. Belnap and the committee using Mr, Belnap's former con nection with the state associa tion in his endorsement. Patterson Praises State Employees in Fund Drive Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul L. Patterson gave a pat on the back to state employees today for go ing over the top in a big way in the United Fund drive. . State workers, he said, have subscribed 122 per cent of their quota, with more contributions to come. They have contributed $2,687 to date. Law Violation bear a yellow streak. Those with incomes of $10,000 or less will get a red-streaked envelope. The stripes will appear on the outside of the envelopes clearly visible to postmen and to all who handle them. Useful Information The plan was devised to en able the service's employees to decide at a glance whether or not the taxpayer should be sent a-form for estimating his income tax for 1955. But the stripe also will enable anyone seeing the envelope to know in what Income bracket the particular taxpayer falls. This would provide extremely useful information to salesmen and creditors. It aho might an tagonize taxpayers who like to keep their private business pri vate. An Internal Revenue source said the colored stripes may be taken off the envelopes next year. MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1954 Ernest Hemingway Named Winner Of Nobel Prize for Literature Stockholm (U.R) Ernest Hemingway, who brought clip ped clarity to a -generation of American letters with savage tales of bulls, bitterness and bravery, today won the 1954 No bel prize for literature with his gentle story of a noble old man and a fish. His short, . quiet tale titled "The Old Man And The Sea," convinced the Swedish Academy of Literature Hemingway merit ed the coveted ' award because of the "idealistic tendencies" of his new. work, where for years it had by-passed his - powerful stories."'"' Fifth American Winner - The 18 judges of the academy announced that the .56-year-old he-man novelist had become the fifth American winner in the half-century since the ' Nobel prize for literature .was created. Americans who won the prize before him were Sinclair Lewis, Eugene O'Neill, Pearl Buck and William Faulkner. ., But probably none of the ear lier winners influenced modern American literature 'with the power of Hemingway.

Oao. of Four Offers Henry said the "Purchase of assets" proposal was one of four his company, offered to - ac complish merger of the two routes. He said the offer ex cluded a fleet of Martin planes recently purchased by South west. The other offers involved in- stock exchanges on the basis of new stock. The stock exchanges would give Southwest stockholders a valuation of $1.92 on their shares, Henry said. He said that is above their present, market price. . - Bonansa Wants Control - n Bonanza would insist In all the proposals on having control of the merged company. Henry said Southwest in making a merger offer two years ago said that "control is not an issue, although the proposal would have given Southwest control. The Southwest proposal would have given Bonanza stockholders lers than 50 per cent of the value of their stock, he said. I Southwest, operating under a five-year certificate, is asking for a permanent certificate or, failing that, for a 10 or 15 year term.
