(IP) Charles Starkweather, who is willing to bet he'll get the electric chair, today hears the state try to knock down the de fense claim that the 19-year-old mass killer is insane. The state was expected to wind up its case today by in troducing further testimony in an effort to show that far from being insane, Stark weather was a calculating killer who deserves the death penalty. The conflicting testimony will be resolved by the jury, which probably will get the case Thursday after closing arguments by the state andj the defense.

CARTUIMIES j Both Parties Comforted By Last Election Vote By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington In assessing the results of the Oregon pri mary election, members of the state's congressional dele gation, Democrat and Repub lican alike, found consider able comfort in the way the voters cast their ballots. No one was more pleased than Rep. Walter Norblad (R) who was receiving congratu lations from all sides this week for his thumping vic tory over challenger Philip S. Hitchcock. Not only did it mean the delegation's lone Republican survived a tough primary bat tle, which was Norblad's per sonal reason for comfort, but the result eliminated a possi ble future challenger for one of Oregon's Senate seats now held by Democrats. This was probably most comforting to Sen. Richard L. Neuberger who will be up for reelection m 1960. Norblad, too, could make a bid for the Senate, or even for governor at 'some future time, but having passed up many past opportunities to challenge incumbents in these offices he is not regarded here as a probable threat. Moreover, the Democrats think Norblad will be easier for Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton to defeat in the general election for the 1st district congressional seat, than had Hitchcock won the nomination. They followed a practice in recent weeks of not giving Norblad a hard time so .as not to embarrass him in the primary. But in the face of his wal loping victory over Hitch cock, some Democrats are not so sure he will be an easy I00F Delegates In Corvallis Corvallis (IPl Some 2,000 delegates to the annual con vention of the Grand Lodge of Oregon, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and Rebekah Assembly are here this week.

The six, all between 16 and 18., were killed when their 1958 automobile smashed into a steel pole on the Valley high way in north Denver at 90 miles per hour. Five were killed instantly.

Fort Clatsop Memorial Asked Washington HP) Dedi cation of a Fort Clatsop na tional memorial during Ore gon Centennial year has been asked by Sen. Richard L. Neu passage of the Fort Clatsop bill in the House. The senator said he had asked National Park Service Director Conrad Wirth to ac celerate construction of fa cilities at the site in time for next vear's centennial observ ance. ' Neuberger suggested that the interior department include funds for the mem orial in a supplement appro priations request. Under the terms of the bill, he said, establishment of the memorial can be af fected when not less than 100 acres adjoining the site have been acquired by the Federal government either by purchase or donation.

Your choice $E95 party or the other, the gover norship not excluded. The resounding victory of Mark Hatfield in the three way Republican race for the governorship nomination guarantees a red hot cam paign between this young GOP challenger and Gov. Robert D. Holmes. Several theories seem to have evolved here from this prospect. One is that a Holmes-Hat field contest will enliven the general election more than would a Holmes-Unander race have captured the interest of the sort of voter who is apt to stay at home in off-year elections. If this improves the voter turnout, it should help the chances of two freshman Democrts, Reps. Charles O. Porter and Al Ullman, who won by narrow margins in 1956 during the elections which were made specatcular by the Morse-McKay race and the presidential contest. Another theory held here is that Hatfield will benefit in the general election from a tendency on the part of Ore gon voters to support vigor ous, youthful candidates, which will make it tough for Holmes to hold the governor ship. But the same voting ten dency will strengthen Porter and Ullman, who've had a term in Washington in which to make a name for them selves, and that they, along with Rep. Edith Green inj Portland may tend to strengthen the entire Demo cratic ticket to the advantage of Gov. Holmes. Mrs. Green, who won by some 55,000 votes in her last reelection race, is figured as the strongest candidate in the Democratic lineup in the most heavily populated district in the state. A strong Holmes supporter, she may lend strength to the governor. The outcome of the gover norship contest may, of course, determine much in fu ture Senate contests for the seats now held by Morse and Neuberger. Will Holmes, if he wins, go for Neuberger's seat in 1960 midway through his four-year term? Will Hatfield, if he wins, go against Morse in 1960? . No one loves to speculate more than politicians, and these are questions they are asking already. Fort Clatsop Set As U. S. Monument Washington.
