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

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. He charged
the Republicans national admin
istration has broken specific
platform, pledges regarding vet
erans' pensions, veterans' hos
pitalization and veterans' PX
privileges.
