TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, August 29, 1318 Oregon Political Pot Boils; Seaton Arrives instate To Plug for McKay By UNITED PRESS Oregon Democrats renewed their campaigns today with more salvos at Republicans aft er a visit from their party's standard bearers. The Republi cans continued to hit back with a cabinet official on hand to help. The battle between Sen. Wayne Morse, Democrat, and Douglas McKay, Republican for the U.S. Senate, was enliv ened as Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton opened a two-day visit to support McKay s campaign after Morse got a boost from Adlai Stevenson. Fly To Iowa Democratic Presidential Nom inee Stevenson and his running mate, Sen. Estes Kefauver, flew to Iowa last night after a visit of several hours in which they urged election of Oregon and Washington Democratic candi dates, attacked the administra tion's natural resources policies and met with party officials from five states to plan the cam paign. A spokesman for Stevenson said that Morse drew the "big gest response" at the closed meeting with party officials by saying the Democrats had to carry the fight to President Eisenhower. "Democrats must not handle Eisenhower with kid gloves," Morse was quoted as saying. Morse and Sen. Warren Mag nuson (D.-Wash.) were co-chairmen of the meeting. Seaton turned down a request from Sen. Richard Neuberger (D.-Ore.) to debate him on the comparative conservation issues of Morse and McKay. "I just don't have time for any such debate during this tour," he said. "After all, I'm not running for anything and neither is he." Supports Administration Neuberger, speaking In As toria today, told of supporting the present, administration on foreign policy 9S per cent of the time. He contrasted this with to the President by a certain isolationist right wing member ! of his own party." Neuberger said the issue of reciprocal trade demonstrated the fact that party lines were blurred on many foreign policy questions. "Mr. Eisenhower said that the trade treaties were at the very heart of his foreign policy. Yet the Oregon Legislature over whelmingly urged us of the Ore gon congressional delegation to oppose the President's trade pro gram," he said. He said that as a state senator, Gov. Elmo Smith opposed the trade program, while State Sen. Robert Holmes, Democratic candidate for gov ernor, supported the program. McKay cut loose last night with a verbal barrage at Morse in a television appearance in Portland. He said Morse "cannot and will not escape the moral re sponsibility for the empty and false charges he made concern ing President Eisenhower and the Al Sarena Mines." - He criticized Morse for attack ing the political integrity and sincerity of the president; said he let personal hatred for the president motivate attempts to undermine confidence in our for eign policy, and made vicious and unsupported charges con cerning Al Sarena in an attempt to smear the president and those wprking with them. Holmes spoke in St. Helens last night and predicted a Demo cratic victory. He called the GOP convention in San Francisco a rigged, slickly-managed per formance in contrast to the "open" Democratic convention in Chicago. Names Committee Head Holmes announced today that Roy Kilpatnck, Canyon City at torney, would head the Grant county Holmes-for-Governor committee. Kilpatrick served on the executive board of the Re publican State Central Commit tee from 1937 to 1946 but changed his registration this year, the announcement said. Holmes also announced appoint ment of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Thiel of Astoria as co-chairmen for Clatsop county, Victor Crow for Wallowa county and Clyde H. Snider for Malheur county.

Edgar Hoover in Washington said Dio and Tuso met with Mir anti at his East Side candy store about April 1 with $1,000 for the person who would cripple me iaDor columnist. Miranti contacted Bando, and Bando through Joseph (Pilo) Carlino hired Telvi to do the job, according to the FBI. The FBI said Telvi made the attack against Biesel and clum sily splashed some of the acid on his own face, making him "too hot" for the conspirators. Government agents Vearlier charged that Telvi was murdered soon after his return to New York from a hideout in Youngs town, Ohio. New York police have disagreed because an au topsy revealed no facial acid burns. The FBI report said that Johnny Dio and Tuso, the "ar rangers," met with Tommy Dio and Miranti to make certain that Telvi was not taken to a doctor for medical attention.
