generally expect some sort of
technical rebound to occur
but balk at any major pre
election rally without a sell

that he will carry Vice Presi

Maurine Distressed
By State's Economy
Portland - (DPI) - Mrs. Mau
rine Neuberger said today that
tight money policies confront
Oregon with critical economic
problems in the next few
months because business in
the state is geared closely to
home building activity and
lumber production.
Mrs. Neuberger, Democratic
candidate for the U.S. Senate,
made this assessment of Ore
gon's economy at a meeting
of the Moreland Business
Men's club.
She said she was "distress
ed by the disturbing trend"
of Oregon's lumber industry.
She called a relaxation of the
administration's tight - money
policy "too little and too late"
to furnish any immediate
stimulus to Oregon's economy
before next spring.

Kennedy made the refer
ence to his Republican rival
at the Kennedy campaign spe
cial's first California stop in
Dunsmuir. About 350 adults
turned out at the train's back
platform along with several
hundred school children who
got a brief delay of school
for the five minute sto.
Brown Boards Train
California's Gov. Edmund

cused the Eisenhower admin

natural resources.
At Dunsmuir, a mountain
area from which the valley's
water flows, 17-year-old San
dra Smith, Miss Shasta Coun

lon keg of mountain spring
water. Kennedy described it
as "something that is more
valuable than gold.
,"I will just pour out a cup
any time all the way down
the state so they can see what
you have up here, Kennedy
said.
Kennedy, In his first fling
at old-fashioned campaigning,
from the back platform of a
special train, levelled a strong
attack on the GOP's record
for development of water and
other resources.
He called for "a whole new
concept of resource develop
ment," insisting that "nothing
less than comprehensive

scale can do the job
"And nothing less than
leadership, presidential lead

said in a speech prepared for
