They and candidates for the
state legislature ' and county
offices shook hands and chat
ted with voters at their , in
dividual booths during the
rest of the evening.
Non-partisan candidatSs for
city and judicial offices were
"corralled" by white picket
fences in the center of the
floor.
Those registering their
party affiliation at the door
totaled 361. Of these, 197
were Republicans and 164
were Democrats.
Based on this tally, the
GOP became eligible for- the
Mail Tribune's gavel, present
ed to the party best represent

won in 1956.
KMED conducted an unof
ficial straw ballot, although
some observers pointed out
there was apparently nothing
to prevent someone from vot
ing more than once.
The results, ,at any rate,
showed Porter leading Ged
des, 136-130, and Hatfield
leading Holmes, 143-128. A
134-110 vote favored abolish
ing the death penalty, and a
whopping 211-31 majority ap
proved salary - increases for
state legislators.
Some other tallies showed:

Bomb Death Facts
'Point To
Wichita, Kan. -tUPDr Police
and the FBI piled up evidence
yesterday that Forrest Don
McCuiston lugged a bomb
about with him on perhaps
five airlines over thousands of
miles but couldn't bring him
self to set t off and kill the
unsuspecting passengers he
was riding with.
The bomb, probably packed
with dynamite, exploded Fri
day in his hands in a corridor
of Wichita airport 10 minutes
after he had gotten off a Bran
iff International Airlines
plane from Kansas City.
It killed McCuiston, a 36-year-old
Tulsa', Okla., unem
ployed aircraft design en
gineer with a bad heart and
failing eyesight. But it did not
hurt anyone else. ' - '
"The evidence that has
come in to date continues to
point ,to suicide," Police Chief
Eugene Pond said. -
As for the theory that he
first intended to blow up an
airplane so his wife could col
lect a $25,000 insurance pol
icy, Pond said: "We are keep
ing that in mind. It is borne
out by the bizarre methods."
Pond also disclosed that he
ordered extra security mea
sures for the arrival yesterday
of Army Secretary Wilber
Brucker and the visit late this
month of Vice President Rich
ard Nixon.
"This kind of bomb thing
stimulates the minds of crack
pots," he said.
McCuiston first arrived in
Wichita from Tulsa early
Wednesday. At 2 p.m., he left
for Denver on a Continental
Airlines plane. He flew to Salt
Lake City and Las Vegas,
Nev.. on a Western Airlines
plane.
At Las Vesas, he boarded a

when he first . arrived, or at
Las Vegas. There wasn't time
at the other stops.
A coroner's jury viewed the
body yesterday so it could be
sent to Jenks, Okla., for
burial. The jury recessed un

completed.'-
If the jury rules his death
suicide, his wife cannot col
lect the $25,000 insurance

death, it is good whether the
insured person was killed in
a crash or in an airport.

ed the so - called "central
figure" in a Synagogue dyna
miting yesterday just as he
was 'reported ready to flee
town. But anonymous, tele
phone threats indicated some
conspirators were still at
large.
Detectives B. Compton and
R. W. Davidson seized Rich

in the southwest section at
1:10 am. est. They said he
went quietly with them to the
county jail to be questioned
first by sheriff's officers and
later by the FBI.

on charges that could bring

day to visit old friends and

which his welcome ceremony
was dominated by a Demo

The President attempted to
soothe the ruffled Republi

when he posed for pictures
with the candidates and held
a brief private conference on
GOP prospects . in Colorado
this fall. .
What drew, angry protests
at Stapleton airport, where
the President and Mrs. Eisen

Kan., was the White House
refusal to set up a picture of
the President and'the five top
Republican candidates on the
state ticket.

October Normally
Dry Month Here
The first real sign of fall
weather started moving
across southern Oregon Fri
day, and squally weather this
week end is expected to
greatly reduce the forest fire
danger in southwestern Ore
gon. Much of the fire danger
was lessened by late Satur
day, when some areas re
ceived sufficient .amounts of
rain. Precipitation in . other
sections, however, was hard
ly noticeable, state depart
ment of forestry officials
said.
The weather . bureau re
ported only a trace of rain
between ' Friday and Satur
day afternoons, but more sub
stantial amounts were fore
cast for late Saturday. Un
settled weather is . expected
to prevail in this area
through the week end.
Friday and Saturday's pre
cipitation was the first since
Sept. 22 when .01 was record
ed at the weather bureau sta
tion at the Medford airport.
Since Sept. 1, there had been
only .28 up to the approach
of the stormy weather. The
total was 1.29 inches short of
the average for this, time of
the agricultural year, weath
er bureau officials said.
Weather bureau officials
nredict October will" be
"about normal." October,
1917 had no precipitation,
October, 1936 had a trace and
the wetter month -in .1953
had .14 precipitation.

when the indictments were
returned yesterday by a spe
cial grand - jury. Police re
ceived a tip that he was pre
paring to leave town and in
tercepted him.
In a car found at Boiling's
home police discovered anti
Jewish literature, signed by a
man who identified himself
as national commander of the
Knight of the White Camillia,
an outgrowth of the Ku Klux
Klan. "
The two-page letter called
the Jew "the sworn enemy of
white Christian America . . .
this is a life and death strug
gle which we must win legal
ly if; possible but violently if
necessary."
Threatening
Meanwhile, threatening and
harassing telephone calls were
made to at least two members
of the 22-man grand jury that
indicted the five suspects Fri
day. Assistant jury foreman Rob
ert C. Van Camp said a caller
GOP . Chairman Richard
Shaw from swearing at the
White House staff and shout
ing at Hagerty, , "we're try
ing to get some help out here
and make this a real occa
sion."
It was difficult to count all
the pictures made, but in the
center, of many of them was
Democratic Gov. Steve Mc-
Nichols plus his wife and
their .five photogenic chil
dren. There was even a Dem
ocratic Congressman, Rep.
Byron Rogers of Denver, in
the welcome party. -' It was
supposed to be primarily a
Republican affair.
'Official Welcome
Gov. McNichols had an
nounced some days ago he
would interrupt his own
campaign for reelection and
return to Denver to extend
to the President the state's
official welcome.
Hagerty did his best to
make things right with the
miffed GOP candidates.. He
saw to it they had a private
audience with the chief ex
ecutive before the President
had lunch.
Some Republicans, how
ever, continued to voice dis
appointment ' that the' Presi
dent did not have a i few
words of public endorsement
at the airport. Some of them
said ' they had expected a
speech.
The somewhat aggrieved
GOP, candidates were Palmer
Burch, running for govern
or; John Macki'e and John
Harpel, seeking congressional
seats; Frank Hayes, the in
cumbent lieutenant governor,
and Duke Dunbar, incumbent
attorney general.
In the calmer precmcts of
the eighth floor in the Brown
Palace hotel, the candidates
seemed to feel , better after
posing for ' separate photo
graphs with Eisenhower.

threatened to "kill all of you
who indicted those innocent
men . . . this is the Confeder
ate underground."
There has been no confir
mation of the existence of any
such organization and South
ern Confederate patriot
groups have denounced the
bombers.
'Going To Pay'
Jury Foreman J. Ben Moore
said a caller told him it ap
peared that Mayor William B.
Hartsfield could "set any
thing he wants" out of the
grand jury and that the jury
members "are going to pay
for it." ' , '
Assistant Foreman" Van
Camp is music director of Ra
dio Station WSB, owned by
the Atlanta Newspapers, Inc.,
which also have been the tar-:
get of threatening calls. A
rumor spread yesterday that
a crowd was gathering around
the afternoon Atlanta Journal
building but a check showed
nothing unusual.
Rabbi Jacob N. Rothschild
held the first religious serv
ices at the Temple Friday
night since the Sunday blast
knocked an eighteen - foot
hole in the rear area, doing
$200,000 damage-
Rothschild said the blame
fo rsuch acts rests not only on
the lawless but on "good, de
cent people who sat idly by
and failed to speak and prac
tice the ideals of their reli
gious faith."
But out of the bombing, he
said, has emerged "an aroused
people dedicated to righteous
ness." 300 Appointments
