Sunday. August 7. mo Q 4 B MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. Hatfield Believes Smith Has 'Uphill Battle1 in Campaign By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Salem Gov. Mark Hat field believes Elmo Smith has an "uphill battle" on his hands against Mrs. Maurine Neu berger for the U. S. Senate. B u t Hat field plans to campaign for the Republi can senatorial candidate and thinks Smith ...i ...;.w RnM smllb lu a smartly conducted, hard campaign which includes get ting across a new profile or image of the GOP candidate to the voters. In this Fall's election cam paign, Hatfield said in an in terview, he plans to give higher priority to putting across the Republican ticket here in Oregon than to cam paigning for the Nixon-Lodge ticket in other parts of the country. His trips outside the state for speechmaking will be few, he said. Working Night, Day "If sheer hard work is the key, Elmo will win. He has been working night and day from the day he announced his candidacy, and will con tinue ritht on through the election," Hatfield said. "Of course, it is an uphill battle. The Neuberger name is. well known and respected In both parties. But Elmo is becoming better known by the fact of his hard, work," added the governor. Hatfield indicated that he and his advisors have helped Smith sharpen his campaign technique since he was de feated in 1956 by Robert D. Holmes for governor. "He is establishing a politi cal personality and profile that perhaps he didn't have when he was governor," Hat field said, "and I think it is favorable." Considered Favorite At slake is the seat of the late Sen. Richard L. Neu berger, temporarily occupied by Sen. Hall S. Lusk, veteran Slate Supreme Court Justice appointed after Neubcrger's ' death last February. Mrs. Neuberger, the Democratic nominee, is generally con sidered in favorite to win, as of now Hatfield maintained that he is not directing Smith's cam paign. "We are in close communi cation," he allowed. "As far as Elmo is concerned, he is calling his own shots. We have counseled together, We have discussed various campaign techniques together. You know he was my campaign manager in 1958, and we worked closely together then on methods, techniques, is sues, etc. He got broad ex perience." The implication was that Smith has learned a good deal about Hatfield's winning tech niques since Smith's defeat in 1956. Hatfield contended that Smith, plunged into the gov ernor's office suddenly upon the death of the late Gov. Paul Patterson early in 1956, didn't have a chance to learn how to conduct a major state wide political campaign. Pre viously he had been a state senator from John Day, sii'ail eastern Uregon com mt nity where he published a wef.-kly newspaper. Mrs. Neuberger, in her cam Dr. Byrns Reports On NW Conference Ashland - Reporting on the Pacific Northwest Conference on Higher Education in Seat tle recently, Dr. Richard H. Bryns, professor of English at Southern Oregon college, said that representatives from col leges and universities in 11 states were present. SOC was also represented by Mrs. Mabel Winston, regis trar, and Mrs. Betty Lou Dun lop of the education department. Discussions based on the theme of "improving teach ings in colleges and universi ties" were held at the three day conference. According to Dr. Byrns, among the sub-topics discuss ed were the need for closer rapport between high schools and colleges; the need for some sort of a program that takes care of the exceptional or gifted students in colleges; the need to set up or better utilize some program that pre pares the graduate student for teaching who plans to enter college instruction; and the need to make it clear that a good teacher is one who is es sentially interested also in re search, since a division can not really be made between research and leaching in the case of the competent instructor. Next year's conference will be held at the University of Washington, Seattle.

Hatfield claimed that Smith, since his brief experi ence as governor, has kept abreast of the issues, and is now "alert to the needs" of Oregon. He did not contend that Smith is well versed in national or foreign affairs, but he said he will campaign for him "with no reservations and with every bit of en thusiasm that I have because I feel that Smith is qualified." "I think we have differ ences in point of view, but this doesn't minimize his qualifications," Hatfield said. "I think he would make a good senator. He may not be concerned with national poli cies, but I think he would do a good job of working for the state of Oregon."
