Statewide Pattern
Portland, Ore Iff) Gov.
Robert Holmes and Secretary
of State Mark Hatfield Sat
urday claimed commanding
victories in every county in
Oregon for nominations to op
pose one another for governor
in the November elections.
Primary election voters Fri
day night gave both men
sweeping votes on confidence
that swamped their challeng
ers. Democrats gave Holmes
156,834 in near complete re
turns. His opponent. Lew Wal
lace drew 72,575 and was be
hind throughout the ballot
counting Friday night.
Hatfield soundly defeated
his widely-known rival and
fellow board of control mem
ber, Sig Unander of Portland.
Even in his home county Un
ander polled a smaller vote
than the former Salem col
lege professor. His vote was
132,981 to 80,487 for Unan
der. Warren Gill, the Leban
on attorney who jumped into
the gubernatorial race late
and enlivened the campaign
with his forthright insistence
on Oregon's need for a sales
tax, trailed badly with 51,
382. The other two GOP can
didates were not serious con
tenders. Norblad Surprises

Walter Norblad surprised

which he defeated Phil Hitch

against Robert Y. Thornton,
state attorney general who
overwhelmed Brooks rancher
Don Metheny- for the Demo

Clerk, Judge and
Sheriff Nominees
In Friday's nominating elec

Mrs. Bereth P. Hopkins for
county clerk; Carlos Morris
for county coroner; Earl Mill

On the Democratic ticket,
winning nominees were Marv-
Danielson Says
Roy Bashaw Wins
Judge Nomination
Robert G. Danielson, for
mer Ashland attorney now
living in Klamath Falls, late
Saturday said votes cast for
him in Friday's primary elec
tion will not count because he
was ineligible at the time bal
lots were cast.
Danielson's name appeared
on the non-partisan ballot for
district court judge in Jack
son county along with E. Roy
Bashaw's. Bashaw is the Med
ford city attorney. Danielson
ceived 7,526 votes, and Ba
shaw7,273. . . '
Danielson withdrew from
the district "judgeship race
after he .accepted a job as
assistant district attorney in
Klamath county. However, he
was too late to have his name
removed from the ballot.
Becomes Ineligible
The former Ashland attor
ney said he believed he be
came ineligible when he
moved to Klamath county
about May 3, and that he was
ineligible at the time ballots
were cast Friday.
"Therefore," he said, "all
votes cast for me will not
count, and that in my opin
ion, Roy Bashaw won the
nomination, and should be
placed on the general ballots
in the1 November elections."
Danielson continued: "This
situation further points out
the necessity for revision of
our election laws whereby a
candidate cannot" have his
name removed from the bal
lot prior to printing thereof
unless it is done within seven
days after the deadline for
filing. Tn my case, had I been
able to withdraw my name
from the ballot, this situation
would not have arisen, and
my name would not have
been before the voters."
' Danielson said he felt the
voters of Jackson county
would have a fine district
judge in Bashaw. -

in Friday's primar election,

urday. This is considered a fait;
ly light turnout for a pri
mary election. '
Republicans did rather
better than Democrats' in
voting, with some 58 per
cent of the GOP voters cast
ing ballots, as opposed to 1
about 45 per cent of the
Democrats.
There are 33.856 voters
of all parlies registered in
the county. More than 17,
400 of them went to the
polls.
Christian was unoppsed for
the Democratic nomination
for the same post. No Demo
crats filed for coroner.
Closest Race
The most closely-contested
of these races was the one
for the ' GOP sheriff's spot.
Walsh, now chief deputy sher
iff, ran ahead in most of the
balloting, but Ashland, home
town of candidate Vern Smith,
gave him a solid vote, and at
one point during the count
ing he was ahead. However,
returns from elsewhere in the
county put Walsh back in the
lead.
The final count was, Walsh,
4,673; Smith, 4,314, and Ralph
Larson, Eagle Point, 1,099.
Fichtner, a former deputy
sheriff, received 2,922 votes
for the Democratic sheriffs
nomination. Other candidates
were Larry Sheehan, Rogue
River, 2,333, and Raymond
Kock, Central Point, 1,442.
Hamilton received '2,761
votes to wiri the Democratic
nomination for county judge,
compared to 1,891 for K. C.

Ex-Mayor Winner
Miller, former mayor of
Medford, easily outdistanced
Connty Judge Rodney Keat
ing for the Republican nom
ination for that post. Miller's
total was 5,871, Keating's
4,044.
In the races for county
clerk, Mrs". Bereth P. Hop
kins, a Republican, easily de
feated, for the second time,
Mrs. Anna Scott for the nom
ination. The two ran against
each other four years ago,
The totals were, for Mrs. Hop
kins, 5,566, for Mrs. Scott,
4,336.
In the Democratic county
clerk race, Marvin Madden,
Phoenix, defeated Mrs. Nita
Zumwalt, Medford, 3,959 to
2,573. 1
In the contest for county
coroner, incumbent Carlos
Morris built up a comfortable
margin over his opponent,
Frank Perl, to win the Re
publican nomination. The tot
als were, Morris 6,026; Perl,
4,261.
This is the only contest in
which write-in votes may have
some significance. If Morris
receives more Democratic
write-in votas (and indications
are that both candidates re
ceived several; the total of
the write-ins will npt be
known for several days), he
would also receive the Demo
cratic nomination.
Tax Base Proposal
Edged Out; City's
Annexations OK'd
Jackson county voters Fri
day defeated by a narrow
margin a proposal to estab
lish a permanent tax base for
the county.
The unofficial total showed
6,935 yes, 6,960 no.
The proposal, placed on the
election ballot by the county
court, would have set up a
permanent tax base of $652,-
386.68, the same as the coun
ty's existing tax base. This
would have meant the county
would need to have levied
taxes only in years when
they were needed, and would
not have lost its base by not
levying a tax. , .
Arguments against it were
that such a base is not needed
in the county at present, and
if the need arises, it can be
voted later.
Not Decided
Whether or not the county
will levy to the maximum
this year to protect the base
for another three years has
not been decided by the coun
ty court and budget commit
tee. There is speculation that
if it does, it will increase the
county school fund to permit
an offsetting decrease in
school district taxes (as is be
ing done in Josephine county
this year) which would
meanin effect no increase in
taxes as a result of protecting
the tax base.
in Meatora, voters ap
proved two annexation pro
posals by considerable mar
gins. The areas were m the
McAndrews road section, the
old Phipps ranch, and another
area between Bear-creek and
Highway 99 north of a line;

Transport Planes
May Aid Stranded
In Lebanon Area
Military Aid Sent
In Form of Supplies
Washington HP! The
United States Saturday sent
18 big C-124 transport planes
to Europe for possible use in
evacuating Americans from
revolt-threatened Lebanon.
Another 18 to 22 of the
200-passenger troop trans
ports were standing by await
ing orders to fly in a second
wave to U. S. air bases in
Germany for airlift use- if
needed.
The State Department also
announced the United States
is responding to an appeal by
the Beirut government to ex
pedite previously planned
military aid shipments and in
"some instances to augment
these programs."
"In making this request, to
which the United States
agreed, the government of
Lebanon indicated that the
integrity of Lebanon was
threatened by persons acting
under alian influence," the
statement said.
This presumably referred
to President Camille Cham-
oun's charges that Lebanon's
neighbor, the ' United Arab
Republic of Syria and Egypt,
has inspired and supported
the attempted revolt and anti-
Western riots in Lebanon.
Earlier Saturday the State
Department said it appears
now that assistance by U. S
troops will not be needed 'to
safeguard American lives
and property in Lebanon.
DHvK!tif les
U. S. airlift planes already
are delivering rifles, gas
masks and other "police type'
equipment to Beirut under
terms of a previous State De
partment announcement.
Tanks are to be provided
soon.
Officials indicated the in
creased aid would involve
chiefly more of the same
type of equipment.
The Air Force did not for
mally specify the mission of
the transport air fleet. But
officials assured reporters
that they would be correct in
assuming the planes were to
be used, if needed, in air lift
operations into or out of Leb
anon.
Eighteen of the planes al
ready have taken off for a
U. S. base in Germany from
Donaldson Air Force Base,
near Greenville, S.C., the Air
Force announced. 'The rest
will be dispatched in later
waves, a spokesman said.
The action was taken . de
spite a reassuring statement
from the State Department
Saturday that the pro-Western'
Lebanese government ap
pears to be able to maintain
order without requiring the
assistance of U. S. troops.
Other Measures Taken
However, other precaution
ary measures were being tak
en. Police-type small weapons
were rushed by air to Beirut
Saturday, and the State De
partment announced that an
undisclosed number of U.S.
tanks will be sent to the
small Middle East nation un
der the regular U. S. aid pro
gram. It was the third publicized
U. S. military movement in a
week to prepare for instant
assistance to Americans in
trouble areas.

to one-half, according to . a

interests in support of the

Premier Requests
Nation's Support
Against Violence
DeGauIle's Decision
Promised for Monday
Paris (IP) Premier Pierre
Pf limlin Saturday night called
on all Frenchmen" in France
and Algeria to support his
government against those who
would "unleash violence" and
the snowballing insurrection
designed to bring General
Charles de Gaulle to power.
In a dramatic and hastily-
arranged radio address to the
nation, the embattled Premier
denounced all "who have cre
ated a situation menacing na
tional unity" by establishment
of a rival government in Al
geria. He said 26 persons were
arrested last night in central
France before they were able
to carry out plans to attack
the prefecture of Saint
Etienne.
He spoke, after de Gaulle's
righthand man, former North
African Governor - General
Jacques Soustelle, escaped po
lice surveillance in France
and flew to a triumphal wel
come by 100,000 persons in
Algiers, where he called for
a French government headed
by.de Gaulle.
To strengthen his position
against the burgeoning threat
of seizure by de Gaulle and
the collapse of. the fourth re
public, Pflimlin's cabinet re
shuffled the army high com
mand and decreed that all
civil and" military officials
take orders only from his gov
ernment. The time: for decision was
close at hand. De Gaulle him-
lself promised to state nis po
sition in Paris Monday.
Pflimlin, in the appeal
which . also was televised,
promised increased manpower
and material support for the
battle against the Algerian
rebels.
The Premier, who Friday
was granted extraordinary
powers under a state of emer
gency to cope with the disor
ders and the threatened at
tempt to restore de Gaulle to
the leadership he held in the
latter days of World War II,
said th military authorities
were in control in Algiers by
agreement with the govern
ment to keep order.
These authorities, however.
while running . the country,
support the de Gaulle faction.
. Pflimlin vowed to use his
emergency powers, which in
clude, the right of search and
seizure by police, "against all
those who might attempt to
rise up against the law.
He said Algeria was the
prime danger spot.
Pflimlin thus committed
himself to heading off by all
means possible any attempt to
smash the regularly-constituted
republican government.
signed into law by June 30
to avoid heavy loss of revenue
from taxes on liquor and
other consumer items.
The White House, if it has
not done so already, will have
to make a decision soon. The
tax-writing House Ways and
Means committee plans to be
gin work within two weeks
on the extension.
The issue is certain to be
discussed when GOP leaders
meet with the President Mon
day to discuss the legislative
program.
While talk of income tax
cutting has receded in Con
gress, strong sentiment for
reductions in the excises has
been building up. Chances of
holding the cuts to a mini
mum are believed better if
the Administration takes a
no-relief stand.
Adoption of such strategy
would not foreclose the Ad
ministration from recommen
ding a program of tax relief
later should it decide that
the economic conditions war
rant it. But prospects are dim
for enactment of a program
of relief for business through
the liberalized depreciation
allowances privately favored
by top treasury officials
unless the President is will
ing to take with it a major
cut in individual income taxes.
