Allied Chemical 103i American Can 4338 Neuberger Says Candidacy Should Be Repudiated Salem (Special) The Repub lican state committee of Oregon should repudiate the candidacy of Gov. Elmo Smith because of his "shocking record" in the state senate, Sen. Richard L. Neuberger said at a press con ference here today. "It is a record shot through with opposition to civil rights, opposition to the United Nations, opposition to necessary legisla tive support of our public schools and colleges of higher education, opposition to the foreign-trade policies of the Eisen hower administration, opposi tion to the aspirations of our elderly people," Neuberger stat ed. His statement continued: Challenges Parly 'I challenge the Republican Party to stop promoting Gov ernor Smith on the basis of his participation in rodeo shows and county carnivals, and to have him run on his record concern ing governmental policies. The governorship of Oregon should not be reduced to a hippodrome. "A deliberate effort has been under way for the past six months to conceal from the pub lic the fact that Governor Smith was the State Senate's foremost foe of civil rights, foremost foe of education and only foe of the United Nations. "This efiort destroys the mean ing of democracy itself, because it exalts trivialities and hides those things which cut at the root of free government. "I make no statement against Governor Smith personally. I make this statement only on the basis of issues which have come before our Legislature, and on which Governor Smith has been recorded against the public wel fare." Benson Scheduled to Speak in Indiana Union Mills, Ind. kU.R) Ag riculture Secretary Ezra T. Ben son came to Indiana today for a two-day tour of a key Midwest ern farm state, obviously hoping to help sew up Hoosierland for the Republicans in the Novem ber election.

Dr. Sampson spoke on "Why Johnny Can Read" at the service group's luncheon at Rogue Val ley Country club. Read Better , The college instructor brought out that youngsters can read bet ter today than in the past. This is because teachers are better prepared and have better instruc tional aids, more adequate fac ilities and better working condi tions, because parents are better informed, because of more infor mation about the learning pro cess is available, and because of more kindergartens. "There are a good many things about teaching reading that we do not know, the speaker said. In teaching the subject progress is slow, he said, pointing out that the program must be acceptable to the people of a community and that changes can be made most effectively if taken gradually. Rates Vary Sampson brought out that chil dren do not learn to read at the Saturday Sept. 15th (ton 1 on-d WSM - Radio - TV RCA Victor Records AT THE Rogue Valley BALLROOM MnthjIr&MM. -- MALONE ftl A t r l J a aaWI llta UrtK t ft.

In the Medford schools this is being done to a high' degree, he brought out. The instructor reported that 30 to 35 per cent of students en tering Southern Oregon college do not have the required level of reading ability. At the col lege's clinic, he reported, about half of this group can be brought up to the level in 25 clock hours. Most of the others, he stated, would be salvagable, if time and money was available.
