By MRS. 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.

en outside the door of the polling
place for any purpose.

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

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.

he 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.
