Washington (Special) - The
sizeable liberal bloc of con
gressmen, including three
from Oregon,
have been
warned by
Louis Bean
tnat tney are
i in danger of
losing some
I 45 seats in the
House to Re
publicans this
fall because of
a "t smith the effective
ness of the GOP "peace and
prosperity" slogan.
Bean is the political prophet
who made a national reputa
tion by correctly forecasting
the victory of President Tru
man over Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey in 1948.
His forecast for I960 was
made during a closed door
meeting of the Democratic
Study Group, composed of
about 120 Democrats from the
West and North who are dis
satisfied with the more mod
erate legislative aims of
Speaker Sam Rayburn.
Among its members are Ore
gon Reps. Edith Green,
Charles O. Porter and Al Ull
man. Bean said the Democrats
are in danger of losing ground
in those close, or marginal
congressional districts where
challenging Republicans will
be able to pick up strength on
the coattails of Vice President
Nixon and the Administra
tion's peace and prosperity ap
peal to the American voters.
Porter To Be Target
The closest district in Ore
gon, based on the results of
the 1958 election, was the
Fourth in which Congressman
Porter was reelected by 17,000
plus votes. Rep. Ullman was
reelected by about 19,000
votes, and -Mrs. Green was
home safe by 62,000 votes.
Republican National Chair
man Thruston Morton has said
the GOP will focus attention
on defeating Porter.
Porter said he regards the

peace and prosperity slogan as
phony.
' I don t think we nave a
decent peace or a very stable
prosperity," he declared.
He said unemployment is
over 5 per cent of the nation's
labor force, and many who
are employed aren't enjoying
sufficient benefits of prosper
ity to pay for their children's
education or provide ade
quately for their old age se
curity.
That idea of naming a Wil
lamette Valley dam for Doug
las McKay may live or die
depending on what is in the
President's forthcoming bud
get, which goes to Congress
next week.
The Oregon delegation is
plugging away in hopes of
getting funds to start con
struction of what would be
called Green Peter dam on the
Santiam river. Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger got a bill passed
by the Senate last summer to
change the name to McKay
dam in honor of the late gov
ernor and Interior secretary.
In the House th- bill is be
ing sponsored by Reps. Porter
and Walter Norblad, but so
far no committee action has
been taken.
Porter says his only motive
in sponsoring that bill was to
possibly make the president
more generous when it came
to making up the new budget.
Will Assure Construction
"I would have been for
naming the dam "Checkers"
(Nixon's dog) if I thought it
would have got the project
into the administration's bud
get," explained Porter.
If funds are recommended
in the new budget, that will
virtually assure construction
will start during the coming

Salem - (UPD - The waiting
list at Fairview home for the
mentally retarded here is the
lowest it has been in years.
The lengthy wait for ad
mission has been a big prob
lem to the state, especially
since 1956, and Jan. 1, 1959
the waiting list was still as
high as 459.
But Dr. D. L. Callicrate,
clinical director, reports that
Wednesday the list was down
to 248 and predicted that in
another month it will be down
to 100.
Main reason for the relief
is completion of five new
buildings and remodeling of
another building, providing
536 additional beds.
The 1959 Legislature auth
orized $756,000 for 215 more
beds and plans are being
drawn up for two more buildings.
The governor's committee
on natural resources is care
fully evaluating testimony
taken this week on the thorny
year, for Congress usually
goes along with requests for
funds and adds some in addi
tion. And it will be the death
knell of the bill to change the
name to Douglas McKay, as
far as Porter is concerned, for
it will have served its purpose.
question of access to public
lands.
The problem is a sore one
among private land -owners,
hunters and fishermen and
federal and state agencies
which administer public hold
ings. The committee seeks to
learn how it may be of help.
Statements were, presented
by those who advocate more
rights of way, roads and trails
to public hunting and fishing
areas.
R. E. Kerr of the Oregon
Farm Bureau Federation sug
gests that the state pep up its
patrols to prevent hunter
damage and offer to pay farm
ers for damage done by tres
passers. The Wildlife Management
Institute recommended that
the state set up a state access
committee to study the prob
lem exclusively.

common as frost in the Capi

The trenches, in front of
each state building, will hold
equipment to beef up the

tribution. The new system, costing
more than a quarter of a mil

Columbus, Ga.-(UPI)-The Co
