Kennedy prepared today to launch his first extensive campaign tour with a chal lenge to Republicans to de bate minimum wage and oth er issues raised at the pre election session of Congress The Democratic presidential nominee was happy to see the end of the shirt-tail session where an alliance of Republi cans and southern Democrats blocked his minimum wage, medical care and other proposals. Kennedy sets out tonight on his first big stumping trip that will take him to 17 states in 18 days. He will make a major issue of his legislative program. Challenges Republicans In a speech to the Senate in the closing hours of the session Wednesday, the candi date challenged Republicans to debate the minimum wage impsse. He did not mention his GOP opponent, Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon, by name. But he obviously di rected his challenge to him. Kennedy said Congress was unable to put through any wage floor hike because most House members of a confer ence committee were unwill ing to compromise. He also said his plan to pro vide medical care for the aged through the Social Security system failed because Presi dent Eisenhower threatened to veto such a measure. The Democratic nominee said the short session had shown that a president with sufficient congressional strength to sustain his vetoes could "chew us up" and "make mincemeat" of the leg islative process. Support By Mors Democrats, including Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., quickly rushed to Kennedy's support on the minimum wage. But Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 111., said Kennedy had failed to take Into account "the sound pro gram" supported by the GOP. Kennedy said that although he was disappointed in the failure of his proposal to in crease the $l-an-hour mini mum wage to $1.25, he thought it would be better to take nothing at all this year and renew the fight in 1961 Company Manager Here Transferred Howard J.

State Elections Director Jack Thompson said that Smith's backers brought in Voters Pamphlet material Tuesday, the day after the deadline and as a result Smith's name would not ap pear in the pamphlet as the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate. A spokesman for Smith said the material was held back so that Smith's statements could reflect the latest Congression al developments on such is sues as medical care for the aged. Wrong Deadline Smith headquarters said the way they understood the law was that the material was to be handed in not later than 70 days prior to the election. The Smith backers presumed that Tuesday was the legal dead line instead of Monday. Smith's staff indicated the decision would be contested. Smith's Democratic oppon ent, Mrs. Maurine Neuberger, Wednesday volunteered legal assistance if Smith decides to contest the ruling. Mrs. Neu berger said "I do not think the voters of Oregon should be denied an opportunity to ex amine both sides of the issues in this campaign in the Vo ters Pamphlet", despite Mr. Smith's failure to act within the time prescribed by law. Voters deserve to know where he stands on the issues." She added that if Smith Is not permitted an opportunity to insert material in the Vo ters Pamphlet she would take steps to see if one of the Vo ters' Pamphlet pages she is entitled to can be made avail able to him. Recommendations Made To Legislature On Unfair Labor Practices, Compensation i Salem -IUPD- Bills establish ing election procedure and controls over unfair labor practices and instituting a three-way system of work men's compensation financing have been recommended to the 1961 legislature by its Interim Committee on Labor-Management Relations. Sen. Harry D. Boivan, (D Klamath Falls), announced APPOINTMENTS OKAYED Washington-WPU-The Senate late Wednesday confirmed the appointments of Kenneth P. Lanning as postmaster at Le banon and L. Houston Valen tine as postmaster at Jackson ville, according to Sen. Hall Lusk, (D-Ore.). APTLY NAMED New York - Dr. Milton Yanker of Brooklyn is aptly named. He's a dentist. Transfer 01 AF Squad Announced Washington - IUPD - Sen. Hall S. Lusk D-Ore.) said to day the Air Force has advised him a detachment of the 10th Radar Bomb Scoring squadron would be transferred in No vember from Houston, Tex., to Fort Stevens, Ore. Lusk said the detachment has an authorized strength of three officers and 31 airmen. On arrival at Fort Stevens, near Astoria, the group will be redesignated at Detach ment No. 13 of the 115th Ra dar Bomb Scoring squadron. The squadron will be under jurisdiction of the Strategic Air command and will meas ure accuracy of simulated bombing missions conducted as a matter of routine train ing. The Air Force said that bombers fly over the practice target and send out an elec tronic signal which is receiv ed on the ground and meas ured to indicate where a bomb would have landed had an actual bomb been dropped. the recommendation which was made after a year of public hearings in the state's four congressional districts. The federal labor law was used as a pattern for the un fair labor practices proposal which would forbid employers to restrain or coerce em ployees in their right to or ganize and bargain collec tively. The proposal would set up a state labor relations board to process unfair charges and seek action to restrain viola tions. Secondary boycotting, hot cargo and organizational pick eting would be banned, Elections Board Sought Machinery for election to determine collective bargain ing representatives is called for in another bill which would provide for an elections board and require the re-hold ing of any election where coercion by either employer or labor organization was proved. Licensed nurses would be allowed access to slate elec tions machinery, unlike fed. eral provisions. -i ' Whether non-federal public employes should be eligible to use the elections procedure is the subject of another bill- which the committee will con sider at its final meeting Oct, 2. naixivia s veio The measure is similar to one passed by the legislature in 1959 and vetoed by Gov. Mark Hatfield. Although organized labor opposed the unfair labor prac tices recommendation, a ma. jority of the committee be lieved Oregon should have laws in areas which involve, firms too small or geographi cally limited to be protected by federal labor legislation. Widening of industrial ac cident coverage, reorganiza-; tion of the State Industrial Ac cident commission to separate functions from its insurance aspects was favored by the committee.
