Washington (UPD Sen. John
F. 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. Boyd, manager
of the F, W. Woolworth com
pany in Medford, will leave
Wednesday for a new store in
Richmond, Calif.
The Richmond manager Is
scheduled to be transferred
here.
Boyd, who has been store
manager here since 1949, said
that he will take charge of the
closing of the old Richmond
store and the opening of a
new one.
In addition to his work,
Boyd has also been chairman
of the city budget committee,
chairman of the Retail Mer
chants' association, active in
the Medford Chamber of Com
merce, president of the Med
ford Duplicate club and a ves
tryman at the St. Mark's Epis
copal church.
His wife, Mildred, will stay
in Medford until about the
first of the year. His daugh
ter, Mildred Ann, will attend
Southern Oregon college this
fall; his son, Jim, will be at
th University of Oregon.

Misinterpretation
Blamed For Goof
By Smith Backers
Portland (UPC T h e Elmo
Smilh for Senator headquar
ters said here Wednesday that
misinterpretation of Oregon
election laws resulted in the
late turning in of voters
pamphlet material.
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.

Radar Bomb Scoring squadron
would be transferred in No

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

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

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

for in another bill which
would provide for an elections

or labor organization was
proved.

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,

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,

by federal labor legislation.
