1 o G o o Owens Wanls Seat on Armed Services Group Portland - (UPD - Ex-Pvt, Marv Owens, whose congres sional opponent intervened to help him win a quick Army discharge, said here Friday he would like a seat on the House Armed Services com mittee if elected to Congress from Oregon's 1st district. The young Democratic nominee, who will reach the Congressional age of elegibil . Ity on his 25th birthday Oct. 14, arrived here with a four point campaign program after discharge from the Army at iort ura, ualif., only; a few hours earlier. Owens told a press confer ence he believed an etf-enlist-ed man belonged on the arm ed services committee. Owens obtained his Army discharge, under a special provision for political candidates, only af ter the Oregon congressional ' delegation, including his Re publican opponent Walter Norblad, spoke to Army Sec retary Wilbur Brucker. "I am grateful," Owens told newsmen, for Norblad's assistance in obtaining the discharge. Owens said he now was ready ot launch a four-point campaign against Norblad. He called for elimination of waste in national defense, fed eral grants for water pollu tion control, a medical care program for the elderly simi lar to the Forand Bill, and a competitive two-party system to defeat Norblad in the first district. Owens blamed the delay in his discharge on the "honest mistake" of a second lieuten ant, who, he said, misread a section of the Army code. He said he felt Sen. Wayne Morse, and Congresswoman Edith Green, both Democrats, were largely instrumental in obtaining his Army release, although he appreciated Nor blad's efforts, Owens, who still has a four year Army reserve obligation, said he would make his first campaign appearance at the state fair in Salem Wednes day. He said he hoped to appear on the platform with Demo cratic presidential nominee John F. Kennedy both in Sa lem and Portland.
