Primary Votin
Br DICK HUMPHREY
Uniled Press Correspodent
Salem W If there is
me word that characterizes
he Oregon primary elections
;oming up in just two weeks,
Jiat word is probably "dull."
Some last minute interest
jvill no doubt build up in the
;ime remaining, but generally
Its been a slow campaign.
And statehouse observers
ire pretty much at a loss to
explain why. With six Repub
licans and three Democrats in
&he race for gubernatorial
Dominations there should be
sparks flying.
Some Sparks Fly
There have been some
minor recent brushes:
. . . When Lew Wallace's
campaign manager charged it
was unfair for county chair
men to meet in the governor's
g 0
office and Gov. Robert D.
Holmes replied they would
meet in Salem again but not
in his office.
. . . Wh(Sl Mark Hatfield
and Warren Gill, both Republi
can prospects for governor,
tangled over the sales tax
which Gill advocates but
which Hatfield feis is no
answer 0 to the state's tax
needs.
. . . When Phil Hitchcok
charged U.S. Rep. Waller Nor
blad was responsible for
anonymous mailings in Marion
county and Norblad replied
he was unaware of the law in
the matter and gave instruc
tions for it not to happen
again.
Shoulders Shrugged

artment Stores
ort March Sales
Higher Nationally
Rep
Washington OP) The most
recent economic statistics in
dicated a mixed pattern to
day. Department store sales for
March were up nationally
over February to 131 per cent
of the 1947-4 average. The
index for February was 124,
a particularly bad month. The
figure for March a year ago
was 137.
The principal areas of im
provement i n department
store sales were those where
unusually bad weather in
February joined with eco
nomic factors to produce a
bad month at the cash regis
ters. March wholesale trade
moved upward but remained
well below March of last year.
Sales of merchant wholesalers
for the first quarter of this
year gave a clearer picture of
the recession.
First quarter wholesale
transactions this year amount
ed to $26 billion 10 per cent
under the first quarter of
1957.
The big drop was in dur-
Rev. Jones Plans to
Attend Conference
The Rev. Richard M. Jones
will be one of 50 pastors of
all denominations attending a
workshop sponsored by the
Oregon state board of health,
the Mental Health association
and the Oregon Council of
Churches at Gearhart, May
5-8.
The conference, "The Cler
gyman and Mental Health,"
will feature as its speaker
Chaplain Ernest E. Bruder,
chaplain, services branch, St.
Elizabeth's hospital, Washing
ton, D. C, and editor of "Jour
nal of Pastoral Care." He also
is consultant and lecturer in
Pastoral Theology at various
schools in the Washington,

able goods 19 per cent under
the first three months of last
year. Non-durables' decreased
only 2 per cent in the same
period.
Durable goods inventories
showed little change in March
but were 3 per cent below a
year ago. '
The Federal Reserve Sys
tem reported a sizable drop
in outstanding consumer in
stallment credit in March
down $180 million from Feb
ruary, taking into account sea
sonal influences.
Auto Loans Decline
"Nearly all" the March de
cline in consumer installment
credit was in automobile
loans, the Federal Reserve re
port said.
Non-installment credit in
cluding single-payment loans
and charge accounts dropped
$66 million from February to
March. Personal loans went
-up $22 million for the same
period.
Along with these indicators
the Treasury also announced
that income tax refunds on
1957 taxes from Jan. 1 to
April 24 totaled $2,452,000,
000, or 35 per cent more than
the dollar amount for the
same period in 1957.

Gill, the veteran tate eci-
ator, has probably been ont
of the more interesting ctndi
dates chiefly for blasts against
fellow Republicans with
which he started his campaign
and his stand on th les tag
issue.
As far as issues go, soige
observers feel that th izt
of Gill's vote may be f pretty
god indication of public sen
timent for a sales tax, t
least among Republican.
Some interest has been gen
erated by the non-partisan Su
preme Court races which, in
effect, will be decided in the
primaries.

There is one bright spot.
Late revisions by the secre

First Nuclear Test
Shot Said Imminent
Washington (IP) The first
shot in the new U.S. nuclear
test series in the Pacific is im
minent, government sources
said today. In fact, they said
it was overdue.
The weather presumably
adverse winds threatening to
carry radioactive fallout be
yond the test z o n e was
blamed for delays.
The Atomic Energy Com
mission said some American
communities may be tempor
arily exposed to radioactivity
levels "many times 'the nor
mal background" during 'the
forthcoming tests.
But it said the increases
"will not greatly increase the
total exposure to radiation."
The AEC said it had made
certain no inhabited areas
would receive any "signifi
cant fallout" although safety
personnel will be stationed on
nearby inhabited atolls in
event of an accident.

Huron To Sit in
With Argentinans
Buenos Aires (IP Vice
President Richard M. Nixori
will sit in tonight at a special
session of Congress which
may decide whether ousted
e -President uan D. Peron
will be allowed to return to
Argentina. i
President Arturo Frondizi
announced in his inaugural
speech that the first Mil his
administration sends to Con
gress will call for an "ample
and generous" pardon for all
Peronists now in prison or liv
ing abroad as refugees.
It wfll be up to Congress
to decide whether to include
Pron in its blanket forgive
ness to refugees. The ex-President
has lived in Paraguay,
Panama, Venezuela and the
Dominican Republic since he
was overthrown in 1955.
Nixon, who is here on an
18-day, eight-nation tour of
Latin America, has omitted
no opportunity to assure Ar
gentines of U.S. willingness
to cooperate with its Latin
American neighbors on a basis
of equality.
The vice-president stressed
this theme at a barbecue giv
en for him late Thursday by
the Municipal Worker'e Un
ion. "We in the United States
are proud of our own inde
pendence, and we always
want to respect the independ
ence and freedom of choice of
other countries," he said.
"For this reason, we will
never have the relation of a
bigger nation to a smaller na
tion with Argentina or any
other country."

Paris - (IP) France's So
cialist and Conservative-Independent
parties met separate
ly today to decide whether to

Rene Pleven's efforts to form
a cabinet.
He could not do so very
easily without the support of

controls a block of about 100
votes in the National Assem
bly. -
A petition signed by 2,500
French auto workers de
manding that Gen. Charles
de Gaulle be recalled from re
tirement to serve as Premier
was presented, to President
Bene Coty today.
Pleven, 57, leader of the
middje-of-the-road Resistance
Party UDSR, asked all polit
ical groups except the Com
munists and the Poujadists to
give him "full powers ,for one
year to deal with the Alger
ian war and economic and fi
nancial problems."
If Pleven wins promises of
Cabinet participation from
the Socialists and Conserva
tives he plans to go before
the National Assembly Mon
day or Tuesday to ask for in
vestiture as Premier.
