TO Election Law Criticized v State Senator Swee State Sen. Monroe Sweetland, Democratic nominee for secre tary of state, was in Medford Wednesday in connection with the new election law under which Oregonians will ballot for the first time May 18. Senator Sweetland, who led the resistance to the new law at the last legislature and who has bitterly assailed the law in re cent weeks, and now turned his attention to ways of minimizing what he contends will be the "damaging effect" of the law on Oregon voting. In this connec tion he spent most of Wednesday morning in the elections office of the courthouse. Double-Signing "Oregon's new slow-down el ection law, under which all vot ers are caught in a requirement for double-signing of poll books and other devices to jam the bal loting during the rush hours next November 6, will have to be complied with during 1956. Most legislators agree that it will be repealed or drastically amended next year, but our whole effort rr ust be to save ev ery possible voter's ballot ' this year," Sweetland told the Mail Tribune. "Since the law will do its greatest damage during the rush hour balloting from 5 to 8 p.m. next November 6, we are trying Suggest REGULAR WEEKLY SPRAYING WITH 1S0T0X and ORTHO-RIX your GIITHO On all chemicals, read cautions and directions before use. y VgJ f - m Mildew weakens buds, l grays leave ORTHORIX Spray ffM?

Vote early, during the slack hours; "2. Get employers to give time-off during the work day; "3. Maximum use of the ab sentee voting law; "4. Simplification of the double-signing operation by the boards, and willingness to over look minor defects of addresses and names; "5. Don't permit challenged voters to hold up the rest of the voting line; "6. Put in extra voting booths, and have ample waiting rooms available at the polling places." Backed in Criticism Senator Sweetland has been backed in his criticism of the new law by U. S. Senator Rich ard L. Neuberger, who denounc ed the new law in recent speech es, and by Democratic guberna torial nominee Robert D. Holmes. "Republicans have defended the new law as ;an extra safe guard of Oregon balloting against possible fraudulent vot ing," Sweetland said. "The new law was guided through the last legislature by Jackson county state representative Ed A. Mann, chairman of the house elections committee. The new law was Do as the experts do!

TOfi JTLO UATJO passed by strict party-line vot- ing, with the 25 House Demo crats in opposition and all but two of the 35 Republicans sup porting it." "The new election law and changes in registration were contrived for one purpose," Sweetland emphasized. "It was tailored to cut out several thous and working people who have to do their voting after work, and can be caught in the late-hour rush. It is tailored to defeat Sen ator Morse, remembering that Senator Neuberger was elected by less than 3000 votes, includ ing what was sneeringly refer red to as the 'lunch-box' vote." V HOLLER GUVS 1 M4D OnYdiNky SINSLES0P4R1 TUL; CPAcnu J teand eubergeruaims esidents Senator Richard L. Neuberger charged today that Governor Elmo Smith and leaders of the Republican state committee had misled the people of Oregon when they claimed that contro versial sections of the new state voting-registration law are pat t e r n e d on recommendations drafted by the National Munic ipal league. "This claim was voiced when I was in Oregon recently," said Neuberger, "because I am a member of the Municipal league. Now we know that the major features of the Oregon act are completely different from the league's model system." Under the new Oregon law, voters must sign two poll books when they go to the polls. "Yet", said Neuberger, "we have just received a letter from Dr. Rich ard S. Childs, chairman of the executive committee of the Na tional Municipal league, in which he declares: No Other States " 'What the purpose is of the Oregon system of having voters sign twice at the polls I cannot imagine, and we have, in our studies, encountered no other state which includes that feature of having the voter sign twice at the polls when he votes. (Why not have him sign three times to make sure he means it?)' " Neuberger said that "Gov ernor Smith's fellow Republicans have announced that 22 other states have a voting procedure identical to the new Oregon law, yet now it develops that Oregon is alone in this respect. Why do the Republicans so misrepresent the law which they foisted on the voters in 1955?" Neuberger also stated that the new Oregon registration act re quires the voter to sign an oath of residence, and that Dr. Childs' letter pointed out that no oath is called for in the model system. The Oregon Senator repeated his contention that most of the provisions in the new state law were intended "to discourage DOGS BY MAIL Darien, Conn.

The x-ray clinic operated by the association and the Sacred Heart hospital is open each Thursday afternoon from 2 to 5 p.m. The next evening clinic will be Wednesday, May 2.

Of the 100 x-rays taken last week at the clinic, 17 were shown to need further attention by private physicians, 11 for heart conditions and six for con ditions suspicious of tuberculosis, lung tumors and various other causes. Low-Head Dam on Columbia Discussed Salem U.R) Oregon's state committee on natural resources concurred today with Army engi neers in calling for a low-head John Day dam on the Columbia river. The committee, which met here yesterday in the governor's office, also urged a study be made of possible location of the structure above the mouth of the John Day river. It was pointed out that the stream has a large potential for production of anadromous fish. The committee authorized Gov. Elmo Smith to express its view to Gen. S. D. Sturgis Jr., chief of engineers. NEW TREATY PLANNED San Salvador (U.R) Finance Minister Mario Hector Salazar announced Wednesday that El Salvador and Honduras will ne gotiate a new commerce treaty, bringing up to date the one in effect since 1918. people from voting, because the Republican party believes it has a better chance to win if people are blockaded off from the ballot box."

MRS. B. M. She has taken a housemaids job. BERTHA They drove me from home. MRS. B. M. Our daughter, Bertha, has upset us terribly and shamed us by taking a job as a housemaid. She is 20 years old and has had business school training, but she would rather disgrace us all than find a job that would be congenial and give her opportunity. She is not, as a matter of fact, under any compulsion to work. My husband does not earn a large salary, but he has always worked steady and we have a son who contributes. She cer tainly does not have to become a servant to earn her daily bread. My husband is furious about what she is doing. He says she is doing it just to spite and humil iate us, and he says we have a right to force her to live at home, since she is under 21. 1 am reluctant to go that far be cause we would then be making a spectacle of our whole family, but I agree with him that my daughter is probably doing this to punish us because we have tried to stop her from making a bad marriage. "BERTHA My parents don't even try to understand me. I am interested in a young man who has been very good to me and wants me to marry him. It is true that he is not rich or bril liant, but I am 20 and I can't say that I am being pursued by an army of suitors. My parents have nagged me to the point where I cannot stand living at home. If I were the adventurous type, I prob ably would find a room down town and live by myself, but I am very much afraid of what would happen to me if I did so. The fact is that I would very much want my parents to keep watch over me and control me, if only they could do it without hounding me and driving me crazy. I am working in a fine home and am learning a lot about housekeeping that my mother never taught me. I am not doing this to spite anybody, but I am desperate to have a place to live where I am safe and not too lone some. If my parents feel shamed, all they have to do is to ignore the situation and no one will know that I am working as a ;wf& j Miracle MS-9 Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, a uiu ncDominiuuiu. au iciicrs arc neiu housemaid. It is they, not I, who are advertising the situation. , "THE COUNCIL: The parents of this girl are very fortunate people in having a careful and sensible daughter, but they are unfortunate in that they do not realize this. Bertha is getting valuable training for the role she wants to play for the rest of her life, that of a homemaker. And she is being paid for learning. She says she is doing it because she lacks courage to live alone, but it is to be regretted that more girls do not have the positive cour age to seek that kind of training. There is only one objection able aspect of this situation the fact that Bertha will have to meet young men and will not have a normal social life on this job. This is all the more reason for the parents to be calm and to relax their attitude. If all semblance of nagging and pres sure should stop, this girl will probably have a strong desire to go back home. By being over anxious the parents have crossed up their own good intentions. Instead of arguing, the parents should show appreciation for Bertha's very sober and safe solution of her problem and make her feel they are beginning to understand and trust her. (Copyright 195S.
