iv SO
CHARLES O. PORTER
I apprecate this opportunity
to, tell readers of the Mail
Tribune why I hope you will
vote for my re-election.
My platform is my record
as your congressman since
early January, 1957, to date.
You know something of this
record already and I shall
try to bring it to your atten
tion in more detail before
Nov. 4.
Some highlights of partic:
ular interest to Jackson coun
ty are:
1. Service to constituents. I
have tried hard to give
prompt and competent service
to every constituent who calls
on me. I have made myself
available for appointments by
holding office hours in Med
ford whenever Congress was
out of session. My Medford
office (Bernard Kelly in
charee is located in the
Goldy building.
2. Economic Welfare. I
worked hard to secure enact
ment of legislation which di
rectly aided the condition of
the lumber market and other
legislation which meant im
proving merchandising o f
pears. I persuaded the Corps
. of Engineers to re-commence
their stalled study of the
mation and power projects,
and I brought this important
matter before the public and
the appropriate government
departments. 7
3. Freedom. My efforts to
change our official policies
toward dictators, arising from
the disappearance of a Eu
gene boy in the Dominican
Republic, have led to changes
so that we no longer seem
to like and respect the chiefs
r i :
OI ponce Maiea.
4. Peace. I have traveled to
Eniwetok and to France in
pursuit of better, more fruit
ful policies in connection with
our awesome weapons and
with the hard road to the
settlement of disputes be
tween nations by law instead
of force.
I like the job. I d like to
be allowed to continue as
your Congressman. It is a
great honor and a tremendous
challenge. I am learning to
do it better. If returned to
Washington, I pledge to you
that I will continue along the
lines indicated by my record
and to do my best to deserve
your trust and friendship.
Charles O. Porter
Democrat candidate . for
Re-election to Congress
From the Fourth District.
Brush Fire Burns
Qui of Control
Las Vegas-(ITD-A brush fire
that has blackened 16,000
acres 70 miles northwest of
here still was burning out of
control today as a force of
only 23 fire-fighters battled
for containment.
Because of the rugged ter
rain on the vast bombing and
gunnery range access can be
made only with four-wheel
drive vehicles.
The fire started Tuesday
from an unknown cause in
the area covered with scrub
oak, cedar and wild grasses,
used by deer as a winter
range.
Fire crews said containment
was expected late today. The
fire area is some 15 miles
west of the Yucca Flat prov

PAUL E. GEDDES
Southern Oregon is rich in
God-given resources, many of
them undeveloped, but a ma
jor factor in the economic life
of the area is the fact that the
federal government owns ov
er 50 per cent of the land and
most of the resources in this
congressional district. The
Fourth district of Oregon is,
in effect, a colony of the
United States and Uncle Sam
is our landlord. For this rea
son alone, no section of the
United States needs effective
representation in Congress
more.
Paul E. Geddes, Republican
candidate for Congress, agreed
to run for Congress from the
Fourth district because he is
convinced that the district is
not properly nor effectively
represented now. To check the
drain-off of our resources into
the Federal treasury and to
return a fair share to the
people who live on this land
and hope to develop it, re
quires single - minded atten
tion to the problems and the
potential of this district.
Paul Geddes has lived,
studied, and worked in Rose
burg, Ore., for 46 of his 51
years. A highly successful at
torney, a past president of the
Oregon Bar association and a
member of its board of gov
ernors he is one of approxi
mately - Six' Oregonians honr
ored as a Fellow of the Am
erican Bar association. Des
pite a busy law practice and
a life filled with civic, chari
table, and church activities
(Exalted Ruler of Elks, past
president of- Kiwanis, Salva
tion Army; Advisory Board,
various boards of the Metho
dist Church and others), he
still found time to serve Ore
gon in the house of represen
tatives In 1949 and 1951 and
the senate in 1953 and 1955.
In both House and Senate, he
gained a reputation for his
knowledge, practical approach
to difficult problems, his non
partisanship, and his leader
ship and general effectiveness.
He was elected the outstand
ing member of the House in
1951, by newspapermen cov
ering the session, in the only
poll of its kind ever taken. He
was chairman of the commit
tee which drafted and guided
into effect the first water re
sources law passed in any
state. In addition to his legis
lative work, he has served on
a long list of committees and
commissions having to do,
especially, with natural re
sources as vice-chairman of
the Columbia River Compact
commission, Oregon Interstate
Cooperation commission, the
"Little Hoover commission,"
etc. But despite all honors
and accomplishments, he still
takes most pride in his six
daughters ,-. an .accomplish
ment which he must share
with his wife of 20 years, the
former Esther Miller.
Paul Geddes believes that
the most important single is
sue' of ' the campaign is the
definition of a representative
and his responsibilities. He
himself believes wholeheart
edly, with Benjamin Frank
lin, that a representative is
'"a man of the people . . .
sent to do the people's busi
ness." He has no personal po
litical ambitions and his only
"crusade," either inside, the
U. S. A. or out, will be a cru
sade in behalf of the "colon
ists" of the Fourth district. He
realizes that in Wa'shington
his first duty will be to win
the respect and cooperation
of his congressional colleagues
and administrative leaders
alike, and to work to regain
local control of our resources
and to return a fair share of
the wealth produced by those
resources to the people of the
Fourth district. No man in
the district is better suited for
this task by temperament, ex
perience, or maturity of
judgement.

Heads for Rocky
Mountain Stales
By JAMES C. ANDERSON
United Press International
Los Angeles-fUPD-Vice Pres
ident Richard M. Nixon head
ed for the Rocky Mountains
today after a successful mis
sion in California to raise
money for and the hopes of
Republican candidates in the
November election.
Nixon, a native of Califor
nia, climaxed the second of
two swings through his home
state by delivering a fighting
speech to a rally of GOP
faithful which paid about
S300.000 to hear him at a
S100 a plate banquet at the
Hollywood Palladium.
Nixon's aides estimated the
vice president raised more
than S600.000 in his thump
ing through California plus
another $100,000 in a single
shot appearance in Oregon a
fortnight ago.
Into Mountain States
Before he returns to Wash
ington Saturday, thie Republi
can Party's No. 1 campaigner
plans to address rallies in
Salt Lake City and Provo in
Utah; Casper and Cheyenne
in Wyoming, and Denver.
Nixon made it clear at his
Palladium speech that in the
final three weeks of the cam
paign he intends to come on
swinging against the Democrats.
"From now on," he promis
ed, we are going to answer
every charge that is made
made against us because that
is the only way you can win."
The Democratic party, Nix
on contended, has nothing to
offer the voters in November
"but the same old crackpot
economic programs which
would raise taxes and sky
rocket the cost of living."
No Issues Left
"They haven't a single
issue," he said. "The Sputnik
issue is dead. So is recession.
So is inflation. So is the issue
of corruption in government
and so is the issue of our for
eign policy.
"The Democrats cannot
overlook one simple fact the
last six years under the Eisen
hower administration have
been the greatest years in our
history."
Nixon said that in the past
few weeks he has been in
Indiana,' Ohio, Illinois, West
Virginia, Oregon, California
and in key East Coast states.
"And I can tell you we've
seen an upsurge. Republican
chances and prospects are on
the way up. Democrats think
they've, got it made but we
aren't playing it safe like they
are, we're playing to win."
Hew Bull Market Developing in Recess in Talks
1959 Model Autos, WalzerSavs Averts Strike

By ELMER C. WALZER
UPI Financial Editor
New York (LTD There's a
new bull market developing
a bull market in 1959 model
automobiles.
That's the way the automo
bile experts'size up the situa
tion. The only thing tat's hold
ing up the show is a rash of
strikes which the industry
hopes soon will be out of the
way.
General Motors' new chair
man, Frederic G. Donner,
consumer confidence is reviv
ing, and Alfred P. Sloan, Jr.,
honorary chairman of GM,
noted that the company has
spent S500 million on the
equipment to turn out brand
new cars.
Buick recently made its ap
pearance and its dealers sold
every car they could get their
hands on. The company built
28,000 cars before hit by
strikes and sold 39,000 in the
first 10 days. Dealers reported
their orders running 10 times
finds tangible evidence that those of 1958 models.

Charges Lacking
Police Captain Says
Georgia-Pacific
To Cut Production
Portland - (UPD - Georeia-
Pacific Corporation said to
day it was cutting back im
mediately its production in
Douglas fir plywood plants
by 15 to 20 per cent. The
plants are located at Co-
quille, Springfield and To
ledo in Oregon and Olympia,
Wash.
The cutback is a result of
an expected slowing of the
building market, the firm
said. It probably will be ac
complished by elimination of
Saturday overtime shifts and
may not result in much re
duction to the work force.
Robert B. Pamplin, Georgia-Pacific
president, said the
move was made to avoid rep
itition of last year's glutted
market.
Fsubus Nominated
For Honor Medal
Little Rock, Ark.-(0PD-Gov.
Orval E. Faubus has been
nominated ,for the $5,000
Gtorge Washington Honor
Medal awarded annually by
the Freedoms Foundation of
Valley Forge, Pa.
Robert B. Snowden, wealthy
Memphis planter, nominated
Faubus as a "champion of
states' rights against the fed
eral government." Faubus
said he was "honored by the
confidence in me expressed
by the nomination."
President Eisenhower is
honorary chairman of the
foundation and former Presi

dent. There usually are sev

No gray horse ever won the
Kentucky Derby until Deter

Salem-tLTB-Capt. Farley E.
Morgan, defense officer for a
state policeman accused of dis
respect of his superiors, con
cluded a hearing into the case
Wednesday afternoon by say
ing there was "not a shred of
evidence to substantiate the
charges."
PFC. Robert H. Wampler,
Milwaukie, was charged with
two instances of airing griev
ances about the state police
with a fellow officer and the
wife of another officer.
This is against state police
rules which require an office
to present grievances to su
perior officers.
A disciplinary board head
ed by Deputy Superintendent
Lee Bown will take the case
under advisement, but Bown
said he did not know how soon
a decision could be rendered
The board may acquit
W a m p 1 e r , reduce him in
grade, suspend him or dismiss
him from the force. An ap
peal to the courts is provided.
Has Been Suspended
Wampler has been suspend
ed from duty since he return
ed from a recent vacation and
the suspension will continue
until the Board's verdict is
known, Bown said.
In summing up Wampler's
defense, Capt. Mogan said
that testimony was presented
that was unrelated to the spe
cific charges and that he did
not consider this testimony
valid.
Wampler maintained
throughout his two-day hear
ing that the charges against
him were flimsy and that
many officers talked over
grievances against higher of
ficers and the way the depart
ment was run.
Exact nature of Wampler's
grievances was not divulged.
However, testimony indicated
he was dissatisfied with the
administration of the state po
lice, Superintendent H. G.
Maison and other commission
ed officers, uniforms, duty as
signments and other matters.
One of the charges against
Wampler, was that he ap
proached fellow officer Wal
lace Ummel at the West Slope
station near Portland during
June and asked him for a
statement of his grievances.
Ummel testified that he had
no grievances and that if he
did he would take them to a
superior officer. However,
Ummel congratulated Wam
pler for having the "guts" to
express himself, testimony revealed.
Phone Calls Mystery
A mysterious part of the
case was two phone calls Um
mel said he had received both
threatening and urging him
not to testify against . Wam
pler. The other charge involved
critical statements allegedly
made to, Mrs. Marvin Atche
son, Coquille, wife of a police
officer who was injured in the
line of duty.
Mrs. Atcheson said Wam
pler told her he was circulat
ing petitions trying to get offi
cers to air their grievances
against me department.
Linked with the case has
been State Rep. Richard
Groener, Milwaukie, who has
recently been critical of the
state police for using an al
leged "quota system to force
arrests.
Wampler, who conducted
his own defense,, with help
from Capt. Mogan, said he
agreed with Groener's charges
but had urged him not to
print them.
Journal Writer
Dies After Illness
Portland -(UPD Fred Lock-
ley, 87, who interviewed
more than 10,000 persons fof
his column in the Oregon
Journal, died here Wednes
day at Belmont Convalescent
hospital. He had been in poor
health for about a year.
Lockley was known as
"The Journal Man" through
the years for his column
"Fred Lockley's Impres
sions." He first joined the
Journal in 1911 and had been
a part owner with C. S. Jack
son of the Pendleton East
Oregonian.
During his career he had
interviewed such notables as
President Woodrow Wilson,
Thomas Edison, Booker T.
Washington and Eamon de
Valera.

Aly Khan Does Not
Have Immunity
Reno, Nev. -(UPD- A Nevada
district judge has ruled that
Moslem playboy Prince Aly
Khan has no diplomatic1 im
munity, despite his seat in
the United Nations.
Attorneys for screen star
Rita Hayworth, a former
wife of Aly, are seeking $21,
000 from him.
Judge A. J. Maestretti held
Wednesday - as he has sever
al times in the past that the
suave prince has not proved
any reason why he should be
entitled to immunity.
Ford reports an order back
log of $1 billion and plans
overtime as soon as it can get
the necessary parts. A spurt
of orders is foreseen when the
new Fords go into the show
rooms Friday.
A Dodge official reports
that "our first day sales (of
new models)- are even better
than we dared hope for."
Swivel seats ' drew the
crowds for the Dodges when
they were put on display last
Friday.
Dodge's 18 regions through
out the country reported sales
higher. Increases ranged from
20 per cent over last year to
a rise of 200 per cent. The
company's New England man
ager reported showroom traf
fic double that of last year.
Similarly enthusiastic re
ports came from the com
pany's dealers in Augusta,
Ga., Charlotte, N.C., and
Langhorne, Pa., among others.
Dodge officials note that car
sales have been inching up
for the past two months and
this, coupled with .reduced
production in Detroit, has cut
dealer inventories to the low
est level since 1954, under
200,000, the second time the
figure has been that low since
the outbreak of the Korean
War.
'The big-three "bread " and
butter cars"-Chevrolet, Ford,
and Plymouth all come out
this week. De Soto will make
its public announcement a
week from Friday. Mercury,
Edsel, and Lincoln cars will
be previewed next Monday.
The small car talk goes on
space with the big three auto
makers said to be ready to
turn them out if they see a de
mand sufficiently large.
American Motors Aims High
Meantime, American , Mo
tors and Studebaker-Packard
are steaming up for big sales
in their lines which are small
er than the standard makes
but not midgets like the for
eign models.
American-Motors is set for
a big market for its Rambler
and Studebaker is banking on
its Lark which is to go on sale
in about a month.
The steel mills already are
feeling the impact of orders
for automobile steel.
Shutdowns of many auto
plants over local labor issues
are tending to be a drag on
the market, but not enough to
slow the upward trend, says
Iron Age.
That authority reports that
more steel companies report
a growing backlog of orders,
reflecting increasing demand
from the appliance , farm
equipment and automotive in
dustries. If the auto demand holds
up as the experts think it
will, the whole economy
should get a gigantic lift that
could boost employment fig
ures and send national in
come figures soaring. Septem
ber industrial productions, it
is noted, was. retarded some
what by the changeover to
new models. The subsequent
months are expected to re
verse this trend with a ven
geance. 1
Pittsburgh - (UPD - Westing
house Electric Corp. and the
International Union of Elec
trical Workers (IUE) Wednes
day agreed to a two-week re
cess in negotiations, averting
a threat of an . immediate
strike. "'" "
The union, which was free
to strike last midnight under
terms of a five year contract,
had asked for the delay in
talks centering around job se
curity issues. Westinghouse
had been negotiating separate
ly with four unions represent
ing about 66,000 workers.
The recess granted to the
IUE and. the independent
United Electrical Workers
(UE) virtually wiped out the
strike threat. Neither union
had issued a notice of intent
to strike.
Three of the four unions
rejected a Westinghouse pro
posal for an employee secur
ity plan including savings,
loan and retirement provis
ions. The plan called for the
unions to forego part of sched
uled wage increases this year
and in 1959 to finance the
opening of a savings program.
Under the recess agree
ment, either management or
the IUE may reopen bargain
ing during the two -week
period.
. UE, representing 9,000 work
ers, recessed talks for the rest
of the week after joining the
IUE and the 'Federation of
Westinghouse I n d e p e ndent
Salaried Unions in rejecting
the company proposal.
The fourth union, the Inter
national Brotherhood of Elec
trical Workers (IBEW), re
mained to be heard from on
the Westinghouse security
proposal.
