Mautz Sees AFL-CSO Committee Forceful Portland (UP) Robert Mautz. Republican chairman for Oregon, last night described the AFL-CIO Committee on Politic al Education as a professional political force that Republicans will have to reckon with in Ore gon. Mautz told Young Republic ans here that the GOP must find an answer to COPE or be relegated to the position of an ineffective political minority in the state. "COPE mad Oregon its prime battleground and it did a remarkable job," he said. Mautz reported that Gov. Elmo Smith polled more votes than any other Republican gov ernor in the historv of the state but lost the election to a COPE supported candidate. Details of Drowning Recounted by Youth Details of the accident in which James Robert Taylor, 18. Central Point, was drowned last Sunday, were recounted to day by Robert Kane, 17. route 1. box 296, Central Point, a member of the party. Kane said earlier press re ports from Klamath Falls of the fatal incident were erroneous, and he wished to have the rec ord set straight. The party including young Taylor, his brother Fred, 23, Kane, and Leroy Waterhouse, 17, Gold Hill, were duck hunt ing on the Williamson river about sun-up Sunday, in an out board motor boat. As they were moving along the river about 50 feet from shore, a pin used to keep the propellor blades high in the wa ter dropped out, and the motor swung down, dropping the pro peller into the water. This caused the bow of the boat to go up and then dip down sharply and the stern go up. Kane said. The boat shipped water and began sinking in about 10 feet of wa ter, and all four were thrown into the water. The four young hunters were all heavily clothed against the cold weather, and the victim had on rubber boots which fill ed with water. Kane said. Neith he nor his brother could swim. Kane and Waterhouse just bare ly managed to get themselves and Fred Taylor to shore, but there was no chance of saving James Taylor from the icy wa ter, he reported. Funeral services for James Taylor were held here Wednesday.
