Workshop Seminar
Offered To Improve
Sonq Commercials
Br DOC QUIGG
UPI Correspondent
New York (WD - The singing
commercial, an institution as
American as the apple pie or
if you prefer-the rattlesnake
or the poison ivy, is reaching
for a new pinnacle of dignity.
A local firm that manufac
tures singing commercials is
offering a series of workshop
seminars to which advertising
agencies can send their flan-
nel-bearing personnel. There
"they will get schooling in the
loftiest qualities of the jingle
music that sells.
Just when in history the
singing commercial burst up
on the public is a matter of
some dispute. One school holds
that the first usage occurred
in the dim past when the first
cave mother sang to her tot
the first primitive lullaby ex
tolling the superior virtues of
sleep.
Among the subjects to be
examined at the seminar are
"the trend towards better
jingles" and "sound effects
can be beautiful." The project
is being offered by Forrell,

Keeps Convention
The announcement came
only eight hours before But
ler's ultimatum to throw open
bids to other cities for the
convention if his terms were
not met.
Local civic and party lead
ers formed a new host com
mittee succeeding the one led
by oilman Edwin Pauley who
bowed out of the affair, de
clining, a post in the new
group. He remained at- his
Honolulu estate, not bother
ing to attend Monday's meet
ing. Executive Chairman
Dan A. Kimball, former
Navy secretary and now pres
ident of Aerojet Genera-1
Corp., will r--n the new com
mittee as its executive chair
man. Mayor Norris Poulson
and County Supervisor Frank
G. Bonelli will serve as the
Thomas and Polack Associ
ates, an outfit that has con
fected and put on radio and
TV more than 60 singing com
mercials. "Music and singing can put
across any sales message,"
said Gene Forrell, a partner of
the firm, in a news confer
ence announcing the seminar.
"For example, the next presi
dential campaign will be the
most musical in history."
It wouldn't have to go far
to set that record. There was
some attempt at convention
time in 1956 to get the song
fires blazing. The Democrats
made a determined effort with
a song that began, "Oh, the
Democratic Party is for you
-and you-and you t . ." It
turned out to be something
less than a national race.
They also had one, donated
by Alan Jay Lerner and set
to the tune of one of the hit
songs of his musical "My Fair
Lady," that opened with the
forthright assertion that "we'll
start campaigning in the morn
ing" and had as its refrain:
"Adlai's gonna win this time."
Somehow or other, it not only
never got off the ground-it
didn't even leave the hangar.
The Messrs. Forrell, Thom
as, and Polack, however, are
monstrously clever and could
be just the ones to put music
into politics. They've done it
with fire prevention. As a pub
lic service to the city for a
fire prevention drive they've
written a song. .
One of its rhymes goes: "I
overloaded an electric socket
and now I'm stone cold dead
in de mocket."
Grants Pass, Local
Man Held in Jail
John Corbell, 19, of Grants
Pass, and Lyman Stubbs, 21,
of 2811 North Pacific high
way, Medford, are being held
in the county jail on charges
of statutory rape, according
to the Jackson county sher
iffs office.
The two youths were ar
rested Saturday night at a
local dance hall by sheriffs
officers. Two teenage Med
ford girls apprehended as
runaways Wednesday were
involved with the two youths,
sheriffs deputies said. The
girls were apprehended in

to make the United States the
scapegoat for the civil war
and Russia has joined the at
tacks. The official Soviet
news agency Tass said Mon
day Laos had violated its neu
trality by bringing in U. S.
military personnel.
Tass said a "serious threat
of civil war" existed in Laos
and that the responsibility for
it "lies with the present gov
ernment of Laos led by Pre
mier Phoui Sananikone."
Tass said the U. S. military
new committee's co-chairmen,
the same posts they held in
the original committee.
Mark Boyar, developer and
southern California finance
head of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, will be
head of the new finance com
mittee, taking the post previ
ously held by Pauley.
Boyar told Butler he ex
pected to raise a total of
$450,000 to bring the conven
tion here.
Hopes to Raise Money
He said he hoped to raise
the money-which includes, as
did the original bid, $100,000
pledged jointly by the city
and county-through uncondi
tional pledges not predicated
on the sale of convention
tickets.
Pauley had planned to sell
the hoped-for 5,000 tickets to
the highest bidder in order to
raise the cash. He had fought
against giving up program
revenues and other "fringe
benefits" such as paying cer
tain construction costs at the
convention as well as for the
large bloc of tickets.

The tax boost compares with

Hawkins said the hike is

"With higher costs and

Neuberger Camp Confident
Hatfield Will Not Enter Race
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington (Special) If
Gov. Mark Hatfield should de
cide to run for the Senate
next year
against Sen.
Richard L.
Neuberger, as
some D e m o
crats have
speculated he
might, Hat
field would be
the first Ore
gon governor
a. Bnbt. smith ever io a oan
don the governor's office be
fore completing his first term.
This historical circumstance,
plus its political implications,
is perhaps the strongest single
factor that would work
against Hatfield challenging
Neuberger. This, at least, is
the analysis of Neuberger as
sociates. They point out that Hatfield
has already jumped twice mid
way through a term of office
-running for Secretary of
State in 1956 midway through
a term as state senator, then
last year running for Gover
nor before finishing his first
term as Secretary of State.
Another 'Free Ride
If he ran against Neuberger
next year, Hatfield w o u 1 d

against Neuberger for the Sen
ate, and if he lost he would go
back to being governor two
more years. But the Neuber
ger camp believes that Hat
field would be unwilling to
risk public indignation at ap
pearing simply to use each of
the successive offices he has
held as a launching pad for a
higher office before complet
ing the job to which he had
previously been elected. As
one of them put it:
"If Hatfield dumps the gov
ernorship, we can ask who
knows but what he won't
throw over his Senate office
in a few years to run for Hol
lywood." The Oregon Historical Soci
ety, researching the tenure of
the state's chief executives
for the past 100 years, has
furnished Neuberger forces
with a documented paper
which shows that Oregon gov
ernors have left office before

finishing their first term only
due to death or physical dis
ability. None ever departed to
seek another office.
Entertaining Hope
But Hatfield has already in
dicated he is entertaining the
hope of being the Republican
vice presidential candidate
next year, which shows he is
willing to leap to a higher
perch if opportunity permits.
The Neuberger answer to this
point is that a state is usually
quite proud to give one of its
sons to the Nation, so to speak,
for that lofty post a heartbeat
from the presidency itself.
And even if some indignation
at his leaving the governor
ship should show itself local
ly, Hatfield could still be
elected vice president' if
the GOP did well nationally
no matter how Oregon's rela
tively small number of voters
reacted to his candidacy.
These same expectations could
not be held by Hatfield if he
ran for the Senate next year
against Neuberger, for the re
action of Oregon voters alone
would determine the outcome.
Coupled with the tradition
of Oregon governors filling
out their initial four-year
terms, the Neuberger camp
feels confident Hatfield won't

jump into the Senate race be
cause of the . sheer political
vulnerability of his position.
No one would know who
would be governor for the bal
ance of Hatfield's term, if he
beat Neuberger, for his suc
cessor would be chosen by a
vote of the incoming state
Senate in 1961.
Picture the Senator
Neuberger's friends picture
the senator, an artist at turn
ing words into political imag
ery, touring the state telling
the voters that a vote for Hat
field is a vote to turn the
state's most exhalted single
office over to an unknown pol
itician, a faceless fellow chos
en by 16 men instead of the
voters of Oregon all because
the handsome young Hatfield
to whom they had entrusted
the governorship just two
years before was now seeking
a higher office for himself.
Neuberger forces, obviously,
are not unprepared to take on
Hatfield. But they are prepar
ed for a battle they think will
never be fought. They think
GOP pressure will be strong
est on Hatfield to challenge
Sen. Wayne Morse in 1962
when his first term is up and
none of these factors will
weigh against him.
