Ruling Sought on
Norblad's Refund
On Race Switch
Salem (U.R) Rep. Walter
Norblad's right to file for reelec
tion to his seat in Congress has
been challenged on legal grounds
by State Rep. Richard E. Groe
ner, Milwaukie Democrat.
Groener asked Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y. Thornton to rule
on the legality of Norblad's re
ceiving a $100 refund when he
switched from the governor's
race to the congressional race.
Norblad paid the $100 when
he filed for governor Feb. 28.
On March 6, he received a re
fund when he withdrew and then
pid the $100 on his representa
tive filing.
Groener asked Thornton to
rule on whether the secretary
of state has the right to grant
refunds or to transfer a fee from
one filing to another.
Although they were not men
tioned by Groener, William
Healy of Salem and Nicholas
Granet of Portland could also
be affected by the attorney gen
eral's decision.
Healy switched from U.S. rep
resentative to secretary of state
and Granet switched from Demo
cratic state-at-large convention
delegate from the third congres
sional district.
Prices on Potatoes
May Be Low Again
I Washington (U.R) The Agri
culture pepartment warned pro
ducers of late season potatoes
yesterday that prices may be
low again this year unless they
reduce acreage by an additional
5 per cent.
Late potatoes are grown in
Maine, Idaho and 27 other states.
The department recently sug
gested an 8 per cent reduction
in late potato acreage this year.
Farmers indicated in a survey
early this month, however, that
they planned a cutback of only
2.8 per cent from 1959 levels.
The survey indicated a "sub
stantial" surplus over the 275,
000,000 bushels needed to meet
the demand for late potatoes,
the department said.
Production over the 275,000,
000 bushels figure "generally re
sults in difficult marketing con
ditions and unsatisfactory farm
prices," officials said.
