Sleeping Sickness, With Fever, Said Description off (Oregon Election Kace Br DICK HUMPHREY UPI Correspondent Salem -&TD A competent doctor might diagnose Ore gon's political ailment as en cephalitis lethargica sleep ing sickness. But lately the disease has been complicated by a fever, caused mostly by name-calling, which has roused the pub lic to the fact that the general elections are less than three weeks off. Democratic Gov. Robert D. Holmes, who two years ago became the first Democratic chief executive in 20 years, ruffled feathers with a speech in which he deplored the poli tical use of religion. At the time of the speech, Republican Candidate Mark Hatfield, Oregon secretary of state since 1956, was address ing a Sunday school conven tion in Des Moines, Iowa. , Hatfield deplored the state ment as a "vicious" attack. Holmes denied he had im puted Hatfield's religious con victions. Major Issue Listed A major issue raised by Hatfield has Tseen his charge that Holmes has lacked re spect for law. He has cited the governor's commutations of death sentences without new evidence, and Holmes' state ment that a statute obliging the chief executive to visit each state institution in west ern Oregon was "ridiculous." Holmes, on the other hand, has accused Hatfield of being "80 per cent inefficient" in his job as secretary of state. The governor added in a speech this week that "the truth of the matter is, he hasn't much to do" except to inspect state buildings in his role as custodian. Holmes said a Republican Legislature had stripped the secretary of state of many duties when the GOP thought a Democrat would win the office in 1958. Hatfield said recently: "What kind of law and order would we have if you said that you would not stop at a stop sign because you did not feel that it was in a good posi tion? This is the vital, funda mental difference between the other candidate and myself." Both Hatfield, 36, and Holmes, 46, come to the Nov. 4 test with excellent records of public service in the state Legislature. Other Similarities Both men share an avid in terest in education aad in the development of the state. Both favor such ballot propositions as county home rule and a vote of the -people on abolition of capital punishment. vfT J4 'SXrS V--ag? -ye POURING THROUGH SPILLWAYS, Columbia River is being harnessed by Priest Rapids Dam, in Central Wash ington, now 58 per cent completed.

Sen, Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) jumped into the fray by claim ing that Hatfield was .the "fair - haired boy" of private power interests, but Hatfield denied it. And so it goes. Voter registration in the May primary election gave Democrats an edge of 430,137 to 387,453 in what tradition ally has been a Republican state. Final figures for the general election are expected about Oct. 20. In congressional races, Democrats polled more votes in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dis trict primaries, but Republi cans led in the 1st district. The latter district is where U.S. Rep. Walter Norblad (R Ore.), a veteran of seven terms in Congress, will face possibly his toughest fight to date with Democratic Attor ney General Robert Y. Thorn ton. However, their campaign has been confined mostly so far to occasional swipes at each other's competency. U.S. Rep. Charles O. Porter, Eugene lawyer who was elect ed in 1956, faces Republican opposition in the 4th district from Paul E. Geddes, a Rose burg lawyer who served four sessions in the state Legisla ture and has been a member of the Interstate Cooperation commission for three years. Weatherford Opposes Ullman Democratic U.S. Reps. Al Ullman, Baker, 2nd district, and Edith Green, Portland, 3rd district, face Republicans who are new to the big politi cal arena. Ullman's opponent is Mar ion T. Weatherford, an Ar lington wheat farmer and banker who is now president of the Pacific Northwest Grain and Grain Products Association. Mrs. Green, four years in Congress, faces John John ston, Portland, a naval officer and former Portland business man who performed military duties in the Pentagon.

On the state level, Demo crats appear to have a good chance of capturing the state Senate which was equally divided between Republicans and Democrats last session. Republicans have some hops of capturing the House which was controlled by the Demo crats last time. ''No thanks, Lady.
