1 n ff ' EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, October 28. 18S4 Porter, Ellsworth - Carson Finish Campaign 1 In Jackson County With Television Speeches 3 i Si pi wound up their campaigns In Jackson county with television K appearances last night They were 'Osepn rwuarson ir.i dem ocratic candidate for governor; fit candidate for reelection to con If cress from the fourth district. W and Charles O. Porter, Demo- cratic candidate opposing Ells 5 worth. ' Porter's lS-minute talk was a rnntlnuallon of broadcast made farf h Avnlnff hpfnm tn which he dealt with the Al Serena min is lng claims, taxes, prices, Mc- Carthyism, and legislation lay ering big timber companies, . 'Political Cowardice' Last night he accused Ells worth of a "breach of political morality." and of "political cowardice" in failing to "stand up for his record and appear ing on the same platform with Porter to debate the issues. . , , Ellsworth's record, Is one of favoring big timber companies, piivate electrical companies, tax benefits for corporations ana stockholders, big oil firms; Porter declared, and opposing public power, Point ; IV, reciprocal trade, public housing, and tax relief for' middle and low-Income groups. ' " . Referring to electrical power generation, Porter ' said Ells worth Is inconsistent In insist ing that "partnership" is neces sary in such dams as Cougar, while In the Talent project there Is no such partnership feature. -Don't Want Monopoly 1 "No Democrat wants a fed ertl power : monopoly," Porter declared, but they do insist that federal power "projects must be completed to serve as a "yard stick'' on power rates, to keep the private utility companies in line. In discussing the prospects for peace, Porter said he bases his thinking on three principles: 1. Support the United Nations; 2. Keeping America strong (he said Ellsworth voted to reduce the plane building program by $5, 000,000,000) and, 3. A biparti san foreign policy. ; : He said he had been told he had made a political mistake in saying he favored admission of Red China to the United Nations but when he explained his reasons, the reaction has been favorable. . t. :.. Mew Deal Through Enemy It is no desire to be "soft' toward Red China, he said, de claring that he neither forgets nor foreives China's tactions in E: Korea and Indochina: But, he I added, we should not continue to deal witn a government of more than 6(10,000,000 people through an enemy Red Russia. "We should deaPdireetly with them, not through an Inter mediary," he said. ' : He pointed out that two-thirds of the world's population Is col ored, and said that drawing the "color line'1 In the world of today won't work. But, he de clared, he believes the UN can be made to work, and if elected he will work vigorously to sup port the United Nations, to make it do what It was intended to do. Only In this way can world peace and brotherhood bo achieved, he stated. 'Character Aimilnation' Ellsworth's talk came an hour after Porter's. He declared that the AI Serena mine controversy, which Porter has. used, in his campaign, is "a rather Juvenile attempt to do a 'job of character assassination wlthbut any basic : of fact." . ? He said "the facts on this mat- 1: ter are that the company merely received what they were entitled to by law." He related the first claim was filed by tne McDon ald family in 1898 with further claims established up until lUJtf. The speaker continued! "It has been contended by the opposi tion that there has been some sort of shady deal here foncern- obtaining National Forest I ins timber. However, in 1939 the timber on the claims was of very little value." Claims Legitimate He contended that the claims were legitimate under the law of 1872, still in effect. When the company came to him, he took the matter up with the Interior department in 1951 and asked for a decision, one way or the other. ".r '- , . ' . Ellsworth stated that, "In this case, the bureaucracy was in violation of the law and estab lishing its own rules in the case." He upheld the recent assays of the property's minerals made by a Mobile, Ala., firm, the home state of the Al Serena company, stating that the assay company had offices in all parts of the country and was reputable. He added attacks of this phase of the case were "attempts at slan der." . The congressman pointed out that several changes are now necessary In the mining law of 1872 to protect the timber. He said the problem of the great in crease in the price of atumpage has come into existence since the McDonald case. He pointed to the law in effect on O and C lands, where claims are limited to minerals and the government keeps the surface rights. Hear ings on IS claims will be held in Medford in the near future, he added. . . New Access Roads ' Ellsworth also explained the benefits forthcoming under the timber access roads law adopted in the last session of congress. He said the additional timber made available under the law would increase the log supply and make employment steadier. He said that such roads also pre vent the possibility of large op erators developing timber monopolies. The candidate declared he be lieves the main issue in the elec tion concerns. the "rights of the individual under law." Further. "we are still opposing a govern ment by men down in the bu reaucratic offices of Washlneton. D. C. Wo should have govern- ment By laws." He called the ending of the Korean conflict a result of Presi dent Eisenhower's understanding oi an - altitude of firmness." Describes Background Carson, Democratie opponent of Gov. Paul Patterson, began his talk by describing his back- ground as former mayor of Port land, Army officer, attornev and U.S. Maritime commissioner. Then he declared that unem ployment In Oregon and an un balanced budget constitute im portant problems which call for positive leadership in office. He advocated a 100th anniversary exposition for Oregon in 1959, to call attention to the 'state. "We're not well enough known," he said. Carson also described his ad vocacy of public works to pro vide employment, and of public power including a high dam at Hells canyoni In response to a question, Car son stated he has heard com plaints about the manner in wMich the Oregon Game com mission has been operated, in that too much of hunters' fees have been diverted,. "There must be a cause for these complaints because there is so much criticism,"- he said, and he said he would "look Into It" if he is elected, , - "Southern Oregon has the greatest potential for growth of any comparable area - In the United States," Carson stated. but Is held back only by the lack of adequate transportation. particularly an outlet to the sea. He said such an outlet can be obtained. "If we set our minds to it." Old age assistance recipients should not be "treated as mendi cants," he said, and added that there should be no difference in pension rights between those who have worked honorably all their lives and members of the military or other government service, who are entitled to pensions. Says Leadership Needed He concluded his appearance with a discussion of leadership, and its importance in getting things done. The state ' needs men of vision and men of imag ination to initiate the changes needed for progress, he de clared. He added that the gov ernor's responsibilities lie not only in his legal duties, but wherever the welfare of tne peo ple if effected. If elected, he said, he would appear before federal committees, boards and agencies wherever necessary to protect the welfare of Oregon's people. "If I'm elected governor, I'm FLYINGS HANDICAP Maiden, Mass. (U.PJ , Though a deaf mute, 39-year-old George E. Spinney of this city has learned to fly.

Only In this way can the people hold an elected official responsible for the oper ation of the state government. Neuberger Tells Of Efforts for Menial Patients Salem (U.R) State Sen, Richard L. Neuberger told a veterans group here last night of- his efforts to sponsor legisla tion setting forth safeguards to protect the estates of veterans of mental hospitals?- which he said some "Old Guard" legisla tors had hrSped defeat. The Democratic nominee for the U. S. Senate said he spon sored, such legislation in 1952 and again in 1953. "That act is law in 40 states but not in Ore gon,'.' he said.' . . : 'Same Old! Guard' - "Some of the Old Guard leg islators who helped to defeat it are among the men who are signing paid political ads today attacking me and, my legislative record. They are the same old Guard politicians who turned thumbs down on my proposal to .extend the World War II veterans' bonus to our -GI's who had borne the brunt of the Kor ean fighting." Record Said Distorted Neuberger, speaking to the monthly meeting of World, War 1 veterans at Eagle hall, also charged the public relations men of Sen. Guy Cordon were trying to deceive the- voters by dis torting the record.
