The Eugene attorney said poll sters have failed to take into ac count "the new Oregon upsweep of Democratic registrations." ob serving his party holds a 12,000 lead in the Fourth District. Three newspaper develop ments in Southwest Oregon buoyed his outlook: Oregon's only Pulitzer prize-winning newspaper, the Medford Mail Tribune, endorsed Porter's can didacy for U. S. Representative Sunday; the Coos Bay Times Saturday supported the Demo cratic contender, and the Eugene Register-Guard revealed a poll of its plant personnel favored Porter almost two-to-one over his Republican opponent.

Q Nunley employed Walter Jeffries, a recognized authority to make the survey. Jeffri did a similiar survey for the City of Medford during the early 1930's. "The survey was made for $800 less than was budgeted ior it. Nunley has refused to ue this valuable id to law enforcement for personal or political purposes. " BILL OF RIGHTS o o A tape recorder, as used in your D.A.'s office is a lawful device. lts ue as avaluable weapon against crime is commended to law enforcement by the crftirts of several states. In a letter dated May 17, 1956, Nunley's former deputies stated in part as follows: "We, as you know, are former deputies of your" office and were rjeputies for a total period of 37 months during your term of office as D.A. of JaCkson Coi.nty, Oregon. We know of no situation or case where the civil rights of any Sccused person has been denied during our respective terms as deputies in your office. On the con trary we believe the accused persons have been treated in a ffompletely humane fashion, with every effort made, by the office of D.A., to protect the cil rights of accused persons." J. V.

HERE IS WHAT AN OBJECTIVE OBSERVER HAS TO SAY: "In my work I have met most of the district attorneys in the state. For the most part they are men of considerable abilityand charac ter. I consider Mr. Nunley to be one of the best-Hfi is aggressive in protecting his community yet considerate of the individual. I have found him to be honest and fair, even in the heat of court battle." . (G. B." Haujen, M.D.p Expert in Criminal and Forensic Psychiatry, Portland, Ore.)
