Race Seen for
McCarthy's Post
Milwaukee, Wis. (IP) A three
and possibly a four-way race
among Republicans seeking to
fill the late Sen. Joseph R. Mc
Carthy's Senate seat in a special
election appeared certain today.
Former Gov. Walter Kohler
and Lt. Gov. Warren Knowles
formally announced their candi
dacies Tuesday, and former Rep.
Glenn Davis was expected to
throw his hat in the ring today.
A fourth possible GOP con
tender was Rep. Alvin O'Konski
(R-Wis.) who has said he is se
riously considering entering the
race.
However, there was still some
question -over whether Gov. Ver
non Thomson would call the spe
cial election to fill McCarthy's
unexpired term.
Wisconsin law requires that
the governor either call an elec
tion or leave the post vacant un
til the regular 1958 election.
Some GOP leaders have pressed
for a change in state laws to en
able Thomson to appoint a Re
publican successor.
At least three Democrats were
standing by ready to declare their
candidacies in the primary. They
were William Proxmire, three
time candidate for governor;
Rep. Henry Reuss of Milwaukee
and state Sen. Henry Maier.

Files Damage Suit
Margaret K. Johnson, Grants
Pass, is seeking $36,454 damages
in circuit court here against
Harry Raymond LeClerc, 615
West Second st., Medford.
The suit is the result of a col
lision on Highway 99 on June 6,
1956, involving cars operated by
Mrs. Johnson and LeClerc. The
accident occurred about a mile
south of Medford, according to
the complaint.
Mrs. Johnson stated in her
complaint that she was driving
south on the outside lane of the
highway when the defendant's
car entered the highway from a
private driveway and collided
with her vehicle. She charges
LeClerc with six counts of care
lessness and negligence, includ
ing failure to have his car under
control and failure to maintain
proper lookout.
The plaintiff claims to have re
ceived multiple injuries in the
accident, including contusions,
abrasions, a cracked rib and
wrist fracture. She claims that as
a result of the injuries use of her
left wrist is permanently im
paired. She asks $35,000 general dam
ages,. $804 for medical care and
S650 for damage to her vehicle.
Mrs. Johnson is represented by
Bailey, Lezak, Swink and Gates,
Grants Pass law firm.
Holmes Signs Bill
On Death Penally
Salem OPl Gov. Robert D.
Holmes Tuesday signed a bill
calling for a vote next year to
abolish the death penalty in Ore
gon. The House bill, introduced by
Reps. Robert Duncan, Don Win
ner, Keith Skelton and George
Layman, and Sens. Monroe
Sweetland and Dan Dimick,
would abolish capital punish
ment, except in cases where a
person under life sentence com
mits first degree murder.
End to capital punishment in
Oregon was asked by Gov.
Holmes in his inaugural address
at which time he said: "I find
nothing in enlightened religion
or the ethics of modern civiliza
tion that justifies an 'eye for an
eye' philosophy."
If voters approve the measure
in November, 1958, it will be the
second time in the state's history
that the death penalty has been
barred. The first repeal of capital
punishment came in 1914. It was
restored to the law books in 1920
after Gov. James Withycombe
appealed that there was no suit
able punishment for treason
during World War I.

that may be bought here.
samples Shown
- The samples shown, which
Haviland stressed was "big bus

est selling magazines , in the
United States. Using color, slick
paper, and good layout, the mag
azines may be found in larger
numbers on some of the news
stands, he added, than other
types of literature.
"The selling of such literature
is as bad as the peddling of nar
cotics," Haviland said, and in
cluded some paper back pocket
books in the indecent' literature
now available on news stands.
Haviland said it was the job of
the people to bring to the pub
lic's attention the amount of in
