Porter one of two congressmen visit ing Cuba this week-is far better known to the people of many Latin-American coun tries than to most people in the United States outside of Oregon's Fourth Congression al District.

Porter asking him to introduce a bill to re imburse Oregon for increased budget charges made neces sary by a recent FCC ruling.

Porter claims the issue helped reelect him. Porter, 39, looks more like a young college professor than the popular conception of a congressman. He is baldish, wears horn-rimmed glasses and an eager, studious look. Soon after his election to Congress, he was plunged into a controversy involving a constituent - Gerald Lester Murphy of Eugene, Ore., a pilot for the Dominican Re public Airlines who myster iously disappeared in the Dominican Republic. Murphy's parents appealed to Porter for help in finding him. After investigation, Por ter charged that Murphy was slain by agents of the Trujillo regime in the Dominican Re public because he knew too much about the disappearance of. Jesus de Galindez, a Co lumbia University professor and foe of the Trujillo re gime. Dominican strongman Ra fael Trujillo hotly denied the congressman's charges. Hailed By Latins The controversy catapulted Porter into prominence in Latin America. Porter began a series of attacks on U. S. policy' toward Latin-American dictators. He charged that the United States was "patting dictators on the head" and should distinguish between dictators and democracies. He was hailed by some pro democratic groups in Latin America as their "champion" spokesman in the United States. Not long after Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon was stoned by agitator groups at Caracas, Venezuelaj Porter entered the city where he was hailed by the provisional Venezuelan president as "a champion of democracy." A native of Eugene, Ore., Porter was graduated with honors from Harvard Uni versity. He served four years in the Air Force during World War II, rising to the rank of captain. Then he returned to Harvard and got a law degree in 1947. He practiced law at Eugene, Ore. He is married and has four children. ate Mb Salem - (LTD - Republican State Chairman James F.
