ROBERT D. HOLMES
Gov. Robert D. Holmes'
record of bold and responsible
leadership and mature judge
ment has restored confidence
in the government of Oregon
and in the future potential of
the state.
Governor Holmes has
proved time and again that
he has been, and will con
tinue to be, a courageous and
imaginative governor of all
the people, regardless of
party, race, creed, color or
economic or social status.
He proved it when he medi
ated the costly operating en
gineers strike that slowed
down heavy construction and
highway building in Oregon.
The strike was settled in the
Governor's office, and he has
received high praise from
both labor and management
for his ability to get action.
He proved it when he called
the Idaho Power company on
the carpet for their futile at
tempts to build a fish ladder
on crumbling foundations
with the resultant loss of a
substantial part of this year's
salmon run. This is only one
of the - actions Governor
Holmes has taken tov protect
Oregon's natural resources for
all the people. He ordered a
much - needed Water Re
sources Board study of best
use of all waterways. He
strongly supported congres-
sionally sustained yield provi
sions in the Klamath Indian
Reservation timber laws. He
was among the first to give
powerful backing to proposed
regional power development
bills in Congress.
Governor Holmes proved
his concern for Oregon tax
payers when he called a spec
ial session of the Legislature
(which only the governor can
do) to reduce taxes. Taxes
were reduced; 330,00ft, Ore-:
gonians have received tax re
funds. And Governor Holmes has
ordered an independent non
political analysis of Oregon's
existing tax; structure a
structure that was patched to
gether by previous Republican
administrations.
Governor Holmes proved he
is "Oregon's best salesman"
when he was the first U. S.
governor to go to Alaska to
encourage trade between our
state and that greatly-expanding
new state. He has given
effective leadership to his new
planning and development de
partment, actively promoting
industrial and tourist growth.
Oregon's economically im
portant tourist industry re
ported an increase in business
this year, when other states
are reporting losses. New in
dustry is coming into Oregon;
old industries are expanding
reflecting faith in the Dem
ocratic administration of Gov
ernor Holmes.
Oregon's first democratic
governor in 20 years has prov
en his decisiveness by taking
clear and unequivocable
, stands on controversial issues
when other .candidates switch
their positions according to
the dictates of political ex
pediency. Governor Holmes
stands firmly against a gas tax
increase, for compulsory auto
mobile liability insurance, for
more efficient and economically-sound
governmental re
organization. Governor Holmes' continu
ing concern for better educa
tion for our children is proven
in his action for substantial
increases in basic school sup
port, for salary increases for
state college and university
faculties.
Oregon's needs come first
with Governor Holmes. That's
why he has made several ef
fective trips to Washington,
, D. C. to urge re-evaluation of
ICC freight rate policies, to
give Congress the facts about
the needs of Oregon business
men and wage-earners for re
vised unemployment -compensation,
and to persuade top
Pentagon officials to help Ore
gon's electronics industry
with defense contracts.
These are only a few of the
reasons why Governor Robert
D. Holmes deserves your sup
port so that he can finish the
job he has started so well!
Re-elect Gov. Holmes
- Committee '
MARK O. HATFIELD
Secretary, of State Mark
Hatfield, Republican nominee
for Governor, offers to the
voters of Oregon a candidacy
that was initiated by petitions
by the people themselves
who urged him to make him
self available for higher pub
lic service
Mark Hatfield's leadership
qualities have been demon
strated under the combat con
ditions of the Iwo Jima and
Okinawa invasions, as a mem
ber of the Oregon House and
Senate where he held imDort-
ant chairmanships,as dean of
students at Willamette uni
versity, as a first citizen of
his capital city community,
and as secretary of state.
With the theme of economy
in government, Mark Hat
field's record shows substan
tial savings in the department
of state budget through sound
reorganization steps. Consci
entious efforts of this kind
in records management, ware
housing, purchasing, better
utilization of personnel, mech
anization of archaic proced
ures, and insistence upon
strict administration could
save thousands of dollars if
applied across-the-board in
state government.
In addition, Oregon could
look to a governor who would
be devoted to the state insti
tutions, aware of the humani
tarian responsibilities, but
dedicated to getting the maxi
mum value for the dollar ex
pended. As a member of the
Board of Controls he has ini
tiated action which has uni
fied : administration proced
ures, curtailed wasteful prac
tices in commisary activities,
opened the previously avoided
topic of depopulated tubercu
losis institutions. Simultane
ously he has been a leader
in the promotion of better re
habilitation programs through
which long-range savings of
both humanity and dollars
might be achieved when men
tal illness is treated in earlier
stages through out - patient
clinic facilities.
Mark Hatfield makes un
mistakably clear his attitude
on capital punishment. While
personally favoring its abo
lition, he contends that unless
the constitution and statutes
are altered by a vote of the
people no governor should in
flict his personal philosophy
upon the established judicial
processes unless there are ex
ceptional circumstances which
call for executive interjection.
Expansion of present indus
try and attraction of new pay
rolls to Oregon is of highest
priority on the list of needs
for Oregon, Hatfield believes.
Revision of tax laws to en
courage investment capital
through allowances . for capi
tal gains is desirable, discim-
inatory inventory taxes must
be modified to name but two
areas in which corrections
in the present tax structure
must be implemented. The
property reappraisal program
must go forward to erase pres
ent inequities.
Hatfield believes that gov
ernment should not become
the ally either of labor or of
management, but rather a
neutral agent affording lead
ership under which both may
prosper.
The people of Oregon can
begin the centennial year and
second century . of statehood
with the governorship in the
hands of Mark Hatfield, an
able administrator, experien
ced . public servant, devoted
churchman, combat veteran
a man of unquestioned integ
rity and rare gift of leadership.

Holmes Declares
Hatfield Stripped
Of Many Duties
Portland -Wis- Gov. Robert
D. Holmes, referring to Mark
Hatfield as "this young man
who so badly wants my job,
said Monday night that his
November opponent "hasn't
much to do" as secretary of
state.
Stripped of Duties
Holmes told the Multnomah
County Labor council that a
Republican legislature had
stripped the secretary of state
of his duties when it thought
a Democrat would win the
post in 1956 The governor,
in an apparent reference
to Hatfield's charges that
Holmes had failed to comply
with the letter of the law by
failing to visit state institu
tions every 90 days, said this
gave Hatfield not much to do
except inspect state buildings
in his role as "custodian.
Holmes also charged Hat
field had ignored the two-
party system by failing to
identify himself as a Republi
can in his campaign litera
ture.
Grandpa vs. Bridegroom ..
The governor also men
tioned comments made about
the campaign which he said
has been called the race be
tween "the grandpa and the
bridegroom." He said he was
proud to be a grandfather.
Holmes cited his record in
cutting taxes, adding to the
basic school support fund, in
creased salaries for college
professors, a $25 per census
child school fund boost and
improved labor legislation.
Hatfield Claims
Per Capita Wealth
Not Keeping Pace
Forest Grove-flJPD-Oregon's
per capita wealth has not
kept pace with Washington
and California for three rea
sons, Secretary of State Mark
Hatfield, Republican candi
date for governor, told a
chamber of commerce meet
ing Monday.
Hatfield said that Oregon's
three principal industries,
timber, agriculture and tour
ist, are seasonal, adding that
12-month type jobs must be
developed.
Not Competitive -
He said that Oregon's tax
structure is not competitive
with those of Washington and
California. "We must be com
petitive if we are to hold in
dustry and attract new busi
ness," the secretary of state
said.
He charged that the present
administration's attitude to
ward business "does not en
courage existing business to
stay."
Hatfield repeated his criti
cism of "an administration
that allies itself with either
business or with labor." He
said a "middle of the road"
policy was necessary for real
progress.

About Quads
Detroit (UPD "Two doctors
came down the stairs and
told me my wife had given
birth to four daughters, ' and
that's about it," Charles Ull-
man said today.
"We're mighty happy about
it.
"No, none of the milk com
panies or other firms have
offered any help as yet. ' . .
"Baby clothes? Oh, well, I
guess we'll use the other kids'
hand-me-downs.".
Charles . Ullman, a carpen
ter for a Detroit contracting
firm, had a lot of figuring
to do today like how to feed
the four daughters his 33-year-old
wife, Julia, presented him
Sunday night.
The little girls rested in
their incubators today: : 17
inch Helen, 4 pounds and 2
pounds, ' 2 Vz ounces; 1 8-inch
Marion, 4 pounds and 10 oun-
es; and 17-inch Catherine, 4
pounds. .
Doctors said the healthy
girls would remain in the
incubators until their weight
exceeds five pounds, between
two and three weeks.
Ullman, 34, has two other
children-Charles, 214, and
one-year-old Louise and he
admitted his five-room, one-
floor ranch house in subur
ban Clawson would be "a lit
tle crowded."
