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.

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.

gued that her rival now says
he is for many things he op
posed in the past when he wsa
a member of the state legisla
ture. 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."

nearly 400 people attend the
50-plus meetings each month.
A drop in attendance for
the Senior Center committee
was indicated with the July
figure of 159 compared with

art show. .The center orches
tra played July 18 for the
Chamber of Commerce dur

Frank Glonnlng, chairman,
expressed appreciation of the
several discussions lead by
Miss Johnson while staying
locally. Robert Campbell, rep
resenting the Lane County
Housing authority, also spoke
July 21 before the RVCA and
offered the committee's solution.
Featured speaker this
month is to be Charles K.

riculum in recreation at the
University of Illinois, who
will speak Wednesday after
noon, Aug. 10, at 2 p.m. in
the Camp White V.A. domicil
liary auditorium. Everyone
is welcome, according to
Glonning.
Also during the afternoon
meeting, Glonning presented
excerpts from a recent Sen
ate bill providing a 10-point
declaration of objectives for
Senior Americans. The bill
established a U.S. Office of
Aging to deal with the full
range of problems affecting
America's 16 million senior
citizens.
