BERETH HOPKINS Jackson County Clark On Friday. May 18, at 8 a.m. polls for the primary party nominating election will open in 94 precincts in Jackson county, Oregon recognizes two offi cial political parties, the Repub lican and Democratic. Any elector who is registered otherwise or does not declare hii party is listed as non-partisan. A non-partisan cannot par ticipate in the primary election except to vote the official judi ciary ballot, which is for non partisan candidates. Republicans vote the official Republican bal lot for their party candidate; and the judiciary ballot for non partisan candidates; Democrats vote the official Democratic bal lot for their party candidates and the judiciary ballot for non partisan candidates. Separata Ballot Listings Some local, measures will be listed on separate ballots and all electors who are qualified may vote these ballots whether non partisan or otherwise. Each elector who presents himself to the election officials to request a ballot must identify himself as to name, residence address and party. ' No elector shall use, bring into the polling place or carry away from it any unofficial bal lot, any paper or thing bearing any resemblance to the official ballot other than the sample bal lot, or anything which will show how he has prepared his official ballot. All of the official ballots are in order before the first clerk. The second clerk has charge of the original poll book which is returned to the county clerk. Book Retained The third clerk has charge of the duplicate poll bookwhich is retained in the custody of the chairman for judge of the elec tion board. " The chairman and judge are invested with the jurisdiction and authority of justices of peace during the time of holding elections, for the purpose of pre serving order at the polls. The ballot pouch is placed be tween the chairman and judge and is locked at all times. The judge has custody of the key. The chairman and judge are seated so they have an unob structed view of the entrance and the poll booths at all times. Behind the chairman and judge is a table and there are chairs for observers. Not more than three observers may be present at the polls at any one time. Only observers who pre sent a paper carrying the signa tures of the chairman and secre tary of the political party which they represent may be permit ted to remain as poll watchers. No one may vote whose name is not in the poll book unless he presents a certificate of his reg istration signed an sealed by his county clerk. When the elector enters the polling place to vote he ap proaches the first clerk who asks him to state his name, his resi dence address and party. The first clerk relays this in formation to the second and third clerks who determine whether it checks with the poll book record. If it checks, the first clerk is required to inform the elector that before a ballot can be is sued, he must sign both poll books thereby certifying that he does indeed live within the pre cinct in which he desires to vote. He is issued an official ballot after the first clerk has detach ed the right hand numbered stub and passed it to the judge who matches it with the left hand stub of the same number when it is delivered by the chairman. The number is record ed opposite the elector's name in both poll books. McKay, Hitchcock Carry Campaigns To Separate Areas Portland (U.R) Douglas McKay and Philip Hitchcock were in separate areas of the state yesterday in their final stretch drive to capture votes in Friday's primary election. McKay carried his campaign to North Bend and Coos Bay, then flew back to Portland last night to make a final bid for met ropolitan Portland votes in the waning campaign days. Hitch cock was in the metropolitan area. , At Oswego the former state senator told a group of his sup porters that the Republican par ty is "dedicated to putting beau- rocracy on a diet that will re duce its weight upon our taxes." Dollar Said Up "We inherited a 50-cent dol lar from the previous adminis tration," Hitchcock said, "and it's now back up to 69-cents in value and still climbing." ' At timber conscious North Bend, former Interior Secretary McKay told his listeners that marketing area restrictions cov ering sales of Oregon-California and Oregon land grant timber will not be removed without public bearings. He said that his action in es tablishing emergency regula tions by which marketing area restrictions could be waived to permit rapid salvage of blow down and beetle-killed timber has been widely misrepresented as removing marketing area re strictions. "This is definitely not so," McKay said. "The Eisenhower administration will not even con sider removing marketing areas without full hearing to deter mine the wishes of the people of Oregon." After marking his ballot, the elector delivers it properly fold ed to the chairman who detaches the left hand stub, hands it to the judge, drops the ballot into the locked pouch and announces elector has voted. The elector is required to identify himself to the chairman by announcing his name as he hands the marked ballot to him. The elector has not voted until his ballot has been dropped into the locked pouch by the chair man. Qualified electors who have moved out of a precinct during the period the registration books are closed; that is, since April 17, may secure a certificate from the county clerk which entitles them to vote in the precinct in which they reside on election day. No Longer Qualified " If an elector has moved out of a precinct before the regis tration books closed on April 17 and did not reregister, he can not vote because he is no longer a qualified voter. Even though his name is recorded in the poll book of the precinct in which he formerly resided, he is not eligi ble either to vote in that pre cinct or is he eligible. to be is sued a certificate of registration from the county clerk. A physically disabled person may request help'in marking his ballot. No official ballot may be tak en outside the door of the polling place for any purpose. Polls open at 8 a.m., Friday, May 18. Polls close at 8 p.m. sharp. All electors who are in side the polling place at 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote. Pakistan President Urges United States Recognition of Red China To Ease Tension Editor's note: Earnest Hohererht, L'nited Press -vice president and general manager for Asia who is making a tour of the Far East, has talked with a number of Asian lenders. In the following dispatch. Maj. Gen. Iskander Mirza. president of Pakistan and one nf the United States' staunchest allies, suggests American recognition of Red China as a major means of easing interna tional tension. By EARNEST HOBERECHT. United Press Correspondent Karachi, Pakistan (U.R) President Iskander Mirza of Pak istan said Wednesday the United States should recognize Commu nist China because it would ease world tension. Mirza, first president of the Republic of Pakistan, said in an exclusive United Press interview that his nation is "not headed for a neutralist role" but said the United States should face facts and recognize the Peiping government. Pakistan, a member of the SEATO and Baghdad pacts and generally recognized as a strong ally of the United States, does not itself recognize The Peiping regime. Mirza, in a discussion of the problems and tensions in Asia, said, "The United States should have diplomatic relations with the Chinese Communist regime. America should not ignore this de facto government." He admitted there would be "difficulties" and "problems" connected with such an action since the United States recog nizes the Chinese Nationalist government on Formosa. Would Ease Tension Mirza indicated he thought the Americans could help woo the Chinese Reds away from the Russian camp and said he be lieved "American recognition of Communist China would ease the tension in Asia." He said if the United States recognized the Red China re gime, the Americans and British might be able to influence Pel ping toward a more acceptable role in world affairs. He also sug gested that Japan could play a role by trading with Red China i iimuM.. n. ' i ijiu UJjjgiaMiuiii" fJT 3 .

Newport, Portland Dock Settlement Believed Near Portland (U.R) A settle ment between Teamsters union officials and employers at docks in Newport, Portland and Van couver, Wash., appeared to be near at hand today. The unions faced unfair labor charges at the ports as a result of their effort to organize non-union drivers hauling to the docks. The agreement was worked out by a group of attorneys rep resenting employers, the unions and the National Labor Rela tions board. Under a stipulation of the pro posed settlement, the teamsters would halt organizational ef forts on the docks at the ports. Coos Bay Unmentioned Not mentioned in the pro posed settlement were the Coos Bay docks where teamsters threatened to tie up shipping several weeks ago in their or ganizational drive. - Longshoremen were not men tioned in the proposed settle ment either. The charges by employers were brought when teamsters picketed non-union drivers ar riving at the docks and long shoremen refused to work be hind the picket lines. Hearings in the alleged unfair practices by the union were held in Portland several weeks ago and were to be . continued in Newport and Coos Bay later. Subsequent hearings were post poned as attorneys attempted to work out a settlement. If all parties involved sign the proposed stipulation, it will go to' the national board for ap proval and then may be accept ed as a settlement of the issues. and helping insure that the Chi nese Reds are not completely de pendent on Russia. . Mirza said Pakistan's actions and attitudes regarding Commu nist China did not indicate any weakening of her friendship with America or a turn toward a neutral policy in world af fairs. He said the June 2 visit of Pakistani Premier Mohammed Ali to Communist China should not cause concern that Pakistan is going back on her obligations to the United States and other Western nations. "We are going to adhere to all our commitments with the Unit ed States," Mirza said.

"We will honor all the agreements we have signed. "People should not worry just because somebody in our gov ernment is going somewhere. There is no danger of our going neutral." Mirza called on Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to abide by his promise to hold a plebiscite in disputed Kashmir and said, "We believe the people of Kashmir should have the right to say whether they want to join India or Pakistan." "India's .. position regarding Kashmir is imperialism and co lonialism of the worst kind," he said. "There would be no blood shed as a result of a plebiscite as Nehru suggets. He is just try ing to frighten everybody." Mirza said the peoples of Pak istan and the United States get along well because the Ameri cans treat them as equals and partners in world affairs. He ex pressed thanks for U. S. aid in Pakistan and said he hoped Pak istan could stand on its own feet in five years. (Vodka in orange juice) It leaves you breathless HI i M k.
