f
State Police Brass Testify At Police Officer's IHiearin
Salem - ITIi - A parade of
state police brass testified
here Tuesday in a hearing of
a state police officer charged
with disrespect of his super
iors. Supt. H. G. Maison told a
disciplinary board headed by
Deputy Superintendent Lee
Bown that the officer, Robert
H. Wampler, Milwaukie, was
critical of the department, its
management and questioned
Maison's competence.
Maison said he had cau
tioned Wampler on several oc
casions to refrain from airing
his grievances with fellow of
ficers and outsiders and to
take them to his superiors in
stead. "His attitude was arrogant
and insolent," Maison said.
'Quotas' Not Issue
Bown said the charges
against Wampler had nothing
to do with other charges made
by State Rep. Richard Groen-
er, Milwaukie, that the state
police were making arrests on
a "quota" basis.
But Wampler said that" he
agreed with Groener's charges
although he trjed to persuade
him not to print them.
Groener was present the
first day of the hearing.
Maison said that Wampler
told him that he had "20 or
30" police officers on his side
who also were critical of the
department.

Nixon Tells San Franciscans
San Francisco - OJPD- Vice
President Richard M. Nixon,
cheer leader for the Republi
can party, carried his "fight,
fight, fight," message into
southern California today.
Nixon told 1,500 Republi
can faithful, who paid $100 a
plate at a banquet at. the Cow
palace Tuesday night, they
should not despair of their
chances of lecting GOP can
didates in . November, either
in California or in the nation.
Republican Upturn
"There has been a sharp up
turn in Republican prospects
throughout the countr y,"
Nixon said. "The Democratic
tide, which was running for
almost a year, had reached its
peak and is now melting
away.
the fight of our lives, we shall
elect our entire Republican
ticket in November."
Nixorf planned to fly to Los
Angeles late today to unveil
the X15 rocket plane and ad
dress a SlOO-a-plate dinner
this evening. ;
. In his San Francisco ad
dress, Nixon asserted that the
Democrats are "fresh out of
issues."
"They are boring. the peo
ple to death with the same
wornout discredited charges,"
he said. "Every issue they
have tried has fizzled like a
wet firecracker."
The vice president claimed
the voters would not risk
their fortunes on the "wild,
high-spending plans the radi
cal wing of the Democratic
"If we step up our . cam-1 party will foist upon the econ-
paign in California and make omy if they increase their

strength in Congress this
year."
"Our opponents are now
left without one legitimate is
suer" he said. "They offer
only a return to the discredit
ed policies of the New Deal
and the, Fair Deal.
. , "The people are not going
to take that chance. They are
going 'to vote for guaranteed
progress by electing more tie
publicans. They are not going
to risk their prosperity and
their progress by increasing
the strength of the radical
wing of the Democratic
party."
The vice president said the
Democrats could not raise the
issue of recession because "a
booming recovery has explod
ed the recession issue into
bits." , .
He said the opposition par
ty could not use corruption
in government as a campaign
theme because it would invite
comparison between the "high
standard ' of integrity of the
Eisenhower admin istration
and the standards of the. Tru
man administration, one of
the- most corrupt in history."
And he said inflation could
not be a rnaj or factor in the
campaign because "the record
shows that prices went up 50
per cent in the Truman ad
ministration and only 8 per
cent in the Eisenhower ad
ministration. "In summary, our oppon
ents now are left without one
legitimate issue," Nixon said.
"The Democrats are over
confident. Republican candi
dates are working and fight
ing harder than their oppon
ents. After 'months of bad
luck, we are getting the
breaks. As the economy
booms upward, Republican
chances are riding up with
it."
Dr. Graham to Speak
At Yreka Meeting
Ashland Dr. Alva W.
Graham, professor of educa
tion and director of graduate
studies at Southern Oregon
college, will address the Yreka
Parent Teacher association
meeting Thursday, Oct. 16 at
the Jackson school.
His '-topic will be "Educa
tion Since Sputnik," and will
concern an analysis of the
current practices in American
educational fields, the impact
of Russian technological
achievement, and the ways by
which the threat to American
supremacy in these areas may
be met.
The superintendent offered
to hear any or all of the men
in his Salem office, but said
that Wampler never produced
the men or statements he is
alleged to have solicited from
them.
Capt. Vayne Gurdane testi
fied that Wampler was "emo
tionally upset" when he com
plained to him of traffic duty,
the uniforms, and "the way
Maison ran the show."
Gurdane said he and Lt.
Holly Holcomb, head of the
Milwaukie office, urged Wam
pler to "get hold of himself"
before going further with his
charges.
Holcomb, who brought the
charges against Wampler also
testified, as did MrsMarvin
Atcheson, Coquille, wife of a
police officer.
Mrs. Atcheson said Wam
pler told her he was circu
lating petitions trying to get
officers to air their grievances
against the department.
Officers Fred Gibson, Les
ley Crownon and Wallace
Ummel all testified as to a
"bull session" in the West
lice in June during which de- Tucker Jennings Lodge, of
rogatory remarks about Mai- the arson squaU
son were made.
Ummel said he had re
ceived two anonymous phone
calls this month urging him I
I not toestify against Wampler 1
and threatening him "you'll !
be taken care of." i
Gibson said he recalled Um
mel telling Wampler that he
also would express himself to
top police officials if he "had
the nerve."
Wampler conducted his own
defense with the help of Capt.
Farley E. Morgan and did his
own cross-examining of wit
nesses. He tried to make the
point that other officers also
were critical of police admin
istration, but that he alone
was being called down for it.
Police regulations forbid of
ficers to- criticize their super
iors with officers of the same
or lower rank or with out
siders. They are supposed to
take their grievances to su
periors. Other members of the dis
ciplinary board were Capts.
