; Portland (U.R) The cam
paign orators were getting in
their final vocal flurries today
before going home to await the
decision of the voters at tomor
row's general election.
" The voting will climax one of
the bitterest off-year campaigns
in Oregon's history with name
calling, invective and acrimony
chargeable in big chunks to both
sides.
The most interest has been
generated by the hot contest for
the U. S. Senate post now held
by Sen. Guy Cordon, who i3 run
ning for reelection on the Re
publican ticket.
Democrats Go All Out
The Democrats, sensing their
first Senate victory in 40 years,
have gone all-out to put Richard
L. Neuberger in the next Con
gress and the battle between the
63-year-old incumbent and the
42-year-old challenger has been
a toe-to-toe slugging match.
Voters also will elect U. S.
representatives, a governor, a
labor commissioner, 15 stale sen
ators and 60 state representa
tives, two Supreme Court jus
tices, 17 Circuit Court judges,
14 district attorneys and a state
superintendent of public instruc
tion, as well as countless county
and municipal officials.
. Also to be decided are eight
measures.
Warm Day Promised
The weather bureau has prom
ised a warm, sunny day for the
voting, but Dave O'Hara, state
elections registrar, said he didn't
expect more than 70 per cent of
Oregon's 819,539 voters to cast
ballots.
At least one new congressman
will go to Washington for the
next session of Congress. In the
third district (Multnomah coun
ty). Republican Tom Lawson Mc
Call, 41-year-old former gov
ernor's secretary and radio com
mentator, faces Mrs. Edith
Green, 44, in what is expected to
be the closest of all the congres
sional contests. McCall defeated
veteran Congressman Homer
Angell in the primary.
"N The other congressional races
stack up this way:
First district, Walter Norblad,
Republican incumbent, vs. Don
nell Mitchell.
Second district, Sam Coon,
Republican incumbent, vs. Al
Ullman.
Fourth district, Harris Ells
worth, Republican incumbent,
vs. Charles O. Porter.
Patterson Vs. Carson
In the governor contest, Gov.
Paul L. Patterson, Republican,
is opposed by Joseph Carson Jr.,
former mayor of Portland and
ex-maritime commissioner. -
S. Eugene Allen, 'Republican,
Is running against Norman O.
Jjilsen for the labor commission
er post.
The contests for the state leg
islature have been overshadowed
by the bitter U. S. senatorial
fight and the ether top national
and state races. Most interest
probably will center on the state
representative contest in the
24th district (Union and Wallowa
counties) where incumbent Dave
Baum is running against Harry
1. Wells, and in the 30th dis
trict (Klamath county) where Ed
ward A. Geary, Dorothy Lowell
and Henry Semon are in a three
Way battle for two legislative
spots.
Speaker Candidate
7' The interest in these -aces
stems from the fact that both
Baum and Geary are announced
candidates for speaker -of the
House and both are given good
chances to win election. Sen.
Elmo Smith of John Day, who
Bayp he has enough pledges to
assure election as Senate presi
dent, is a holdover.
- Of the eight measures on the
Vallot, three are initiatives and
five were referred to the people
by the Legislature.
The initiatives are to establish
daylight saving time in all parts
of Oregon within- the Pacific
time zone, to prohibit commer
cial fishing in coastal streams

Morse Says GOP
Liberalism Dead
Seattle (U.R) Sen. Wayne
Morse, (I-Ore.), charged Satur
day night that "liberalism in
the Republican party is as dead
as a dodo."
Morse, speaking here before
leaders of the Aero-Mechanics
Union (AFL), urged voters to
"return Congress to the people
of the United States by electing
a Democratic Congress."
The Independent senator, a
Republican until 1952, took is
sue with President Eisenhower's
campaign statements that a
cold war with the President.
"If there is a cold war," said
Morse, "it will be declared by
the President."
He said Democrats in the pres
ent Congress had supported the
President far better than had
the Republicans on many issues.
Morse also slapped at Vice
President Richard Nixon's cam
paign techniques and the "big
smear, big lie technique of re
actionary Republicans."

Hageiiy Claims
Stevenson Charge
'Just Ridiculous'
Attack on President
Rapped by'Secrefary
Washington (U.R) The
White House said today it was
ridiculous" for Adlai E- Steven
son to accuse President Eisen
hower of approving Republican
campaign material that Steven
son said parallels Communist
propaganda.
James C. Hagerty, Mr. Eisen
hower's press secretary, re
turned Stevenson's fire as the
20th century's most remarkable
off-year election campaign
roared to a close.
Tomorrow is election day. By
tomorrow night the returns will
begin to show what success Mr.
Eisenhower had in his eleventh
hour blitz to pull a GOP victory
out of what seemed a few days
ago to be probable defeat.
Communist Propaganda
Democrats have accused the
Republicans of resorting to "des
perate" mud slinging in the
whirlwind windup. SSevenson
hung the charge directly on Mr.
Eisenhower Saturday night, as
serting that the President had
condoned statements by GOP
speakers, notably Vice-President
Richard M. Nixon, that past Dem
ocratic administrations achieved
prosperity only through war.
Stevenson said this had been
standard Communist propaganda
for years.
Called Ridiculous
Hagerty, asked by reporters
for comment on the Stevenson
allegation, called it "just ridic
ulous." .
Meanwhile, the White House
announced that Mr. Eisenhower
will hold a news conferece
Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. (PST),
his first chance to assess the out
come- of the election which he
has tried so hard to win for the
GOP.
The massive Republican effort
was compressed within the final
10 days of the campaign. It came
too late for results if any to
be sensed by pollsters and pulse
feelers. In fact, James A. Farley,
former Democratic national
chairman and an old political
pro, maintains that events in the
final two weeks of a campaign
change few if any votes.
Aside from this, however, the
campaign consensus . has been
that the 1954 Democratic tide
was sufficient to shift the House
and, perhaps, the Senate, to
Democratic control when the
84th Congress meets next Janu
ary.
Eight Fined tor
Hunting Violations
Eight hunting violations have
been considered in district court
the past several days, according
to court records.
In one case, Ralph Chester
Stiffler, 27, Grants Pass, pleaded
guilty to spotlighting a deer Oct..
22 and as fined $150 and . $5
costs. The deer was confiscated
and delivered to the State Game
commission.
Another case, involving the
same charge on Oct. 20, was con
tinued until Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. for
Neale Edgar Shrimpt, 29, Grants
Pass, and Bruce Edward Robert
son, no address listed.
Duane Scott Addington, 17,
of 347 Fourth st., Central Point
pleaded guilty to a charge of
hunting quail during prohibited
hours on Oct. 26 and was fined
$25 of which $10 was suspended.
His gun was returned.
In five other cases, fines of
$25 each and $5 court costs were
levied. Included were Millard

With Five Others

In Reply To Stevenson
New York (U.R) The New

day, expressed a "preference"
for six men, four of them in
cumbents, including Richard L.
Neuberger of Oregon, who are
seekiqg election to the U.S. Sen
ate in tomorrow's balloting.
Three of the men are Repub
licans; three are Democrats.
". . . We should like to speak
for four incumbent senators:
Paul H. Douglas of Illinois, for
mer professor, decorated for 'he
roic achievement in action,' a
wise and liberal Democratic leg
islator; Leverett Saltonstall, Re
publican of Massachusetts, a
sound and conscientious conser
vative; John Sherman Cooper,
Republican of Kentucky, an in
ternationally minded legislator
with military and diplomatic ex
perience, running against the re
vered but elderly Mr. Alben
Barkley; and Clinton P. Ander
son, Democrat of New .Mexico,
who braved Opposition in his
own party when secretary of ag
riculture to loosen up farm price
controls," the editorial said.
Neuberger Liked
"To these names we would
add those of Clifford P. Case,
Republican, former New Jersey
representatives in Congress, who
showed . his courage by a stal
wart stand against the excesses
of Senator McCarthy of Wiscon
sin, and Richard L. Neuberger
of Oregon,- a progressive Demo
cratic journalist and author, run
ning against the incumbent Guy
Cordon.
"The list of six names happens
to include three Democrats and,
three Republicans; the candi
dates represent quite a spread in
the political spectrum as well
as in geography, but all six, we
think, would represent their
states and their country better
in the Senate than the gentle
men who are opposing them. We
think that President Eisenhower
might sleep well at night if both
houses were made up of men of
such character and such ability."
The Times said some people
might argue that New York City
or state should not intervene in
the elections in other states. On
the other hand, said the news
paper, "a senator legislates for
all of us, not just for the people
of his own state . ..we have a
right to express a preference."

Washington - (U.R) The
United States, Britain and France
will meet in London shortly to
draft formal notes rejecting Rus
sia's call for an early Big Four
conference on Germany, in

The drafting session may get

It was understood the Big

out a possible future meeting
with the Russians after the Ger

stronger bargaining position.
Harold E. Stassen, foreign aid
administrator just back from a

"marked change" in European

Nixon Denounces
NBC for Refusal
Of Free Air Time
Cooper Supported
Over Alben Barkley
- Denver (U.R) Vice-President
Richard M. Nixon de
nounced the National Broadcast
ing Company Sunday night for
refusing him free time to answer
what he termed a "vicious, hys
terical, scurrilous" Democratic
attack on President Eisenhower.
He called on 70 major news
outlets today to print what he
would have said in his answer to
the Democratic attack.
The Vice-President sent a mes
sage and an accompanying 1,500
word text by telegram to a list of
publishers, editors, press associa
tions and political writers
throughout the country.
The GOP National Committee
will pay for the telegrams that
Vice-President Richard M. Nixon
sent to 70 major news outlets,
Nixon's press secretary said.
In New York, NBC spokesmen
said they had no immediate com
ment.
"We'll wait until we've seen
his statement," an official said. .
Nixon's message said in part:
"The Democratic National
Committee and Mr. Stevenson
were allotted a half-hour of free
time Saturday night by the Na
tional Broadcasting Company
radio and television networks. I
asked NBC to grant equal time
for' a reply to Mr. Stevenson. The
request was rejected. Therefore,
I am delivering to you a conden
sation of the statement I would
have made on the broadcast."
Vicious Attack .
In his statement, Nixon said
that Adlai Stevenson's nation
wide TV and radio speech from
New York Saturday night con
stituted "one of the most vicious,
scurrilous attacks ever rriade by
a major political figure on a
President of the United States."
Nixon write: "In so attacking
the man who got u out . of one
war, kept us out of others, and
helped make the forces of peace
and freedom stronger than they
have been at any time since
World War . n, Mr. Stevenson
proved again that 34,000,000
Democrats, Republicans and in
dependents were right when they
found him unfit to be President
in 1952."
'Positive' Speech Scheduled
; After issuing his statement on
Stevenson's speech, Mr. Nixon
said his talk on tonight's Republican-sponsored
"Get Out the
Vote" show would be more of a
"positive" speech.
The vice-president will speak
tonight for 20 minutes'"on the
llth-hour Republican political

opment policies of McKay.
- Quite aside from the loss of
face that must come to either
McKay or Morse as 'a conse
quence of the senate race in
which they are only subordinate
ly yet inextricably involved,
certain observations might rea
sonably be made about the pros
pective tangible political results:
Favorable Referendum .
- 1. If Cordon is reelected, Mc
Kay and the administration will
take this as a favorable referen
dum on their resource policies
and proceed with . more confi
dence to go about the job of
putting more of them into law
despite " continuing charges of
"giveaway." In no other state
around the country this fall is
the resource issue being so clear
ly drawn. The administration
will then have Cordon back in
the Senate to perform the main
legislative handiwork upon
which their program depends,
just as he did with notable suc
cess in putting the "tidelands"
bill through last year.
2. If Neuberger is elected, Mc
Kay will be more than slightly
handcuffed in trying to put his
policies into law as far as the
Pacific Northwest is concerned.
