Porter's Voting Record in 86th Congress Noted By Congressional Quarterly Washington - .(CQ) - Only through the roll-call vote is lt possible to establish be yond question the public rec ord of a member of Congress on the issues. Out of 87 such votes cast in 1959 and 93 cast in 1960 the two years of the 86th Congress - Congressional Quarterly selected 12 key votes. Charles O. Porter (D), running for reelection in the Oregon fourth district against Dr. Edwin Durno (R), voted on them as follows: 1. On June 24, Southern Democrats and most Republi can combined forces to pass, 225-192, over justice depart ment opposition, a far-reaching bill to nullify the doc trine of federal preemption in fields of concurrent federal-state jurisdiction. Repre sentative Porter was paired against. ' 2. In many eyes, the sin gle most important vote of the 1959 session came Aug. 13 when the House, given the choice of two labor reform measures, picked the tougher one by a close margin, 229 201. Porter voted No. 3. Having voted to substi tute the stiff Landrum-Grif-fin bill for a weaker commit tee measure, the House pro ceeded the next day to pass Landrum-Griffin by a top heavy majority, 303-125, de spite the overwhelming oppo sition of organized labor. Congressman Porter voted against it. 4. A partisan and heated dispute over interest rates was extended into 1960 when the House refused, 134-255, to give the President authori ty to lift the interest ceiling on long-term Treasury bonds, something Mr. Eisenhower urgently sought. On the Sept. 4, 1959 vote, the representa tive voted No. 1960 Key Votes 5. The effectiveness of President Eisenhower's veto power, despite the 2-to-l Dem ocratic majority in the 86th Conn-ess. was demonstrated once again on Feb. 25 when the House, by a 249-157 vote. failed to override his veto of a water pollution bill. - For tor voted to override the President's veto. 6. The oting rights provi sion of the Civil Rights Act of 1960 was shaped largely by the House when it voted 295- 124 for an amendment, mod eled on the administration's plan, providing for appoint ment of referees to register voters where a "pattern or practice" of discrimination was found. On the March 23 vote, Representative Porter voted yes. 7. The House version of an aid to education bill, call ing for $1.3 billion in federal grants to the states for school construction over a four-year period, skinned through by a vote of 206-189 on May 26, only to die in the Rules com mittee. Porter voted for lt. 8. In a rare display of in dependence on June 17, the House voted 212-173 to re store one-half of a $400 mil lion cut orderd by its appro priations committee in the President's $2-billion request for military aid under the Mutual Security program. Congressman Porter voted against restoring the cut. Price Supports Hopes for a workable wheat bill vanished when Eastern Democrats joined Re publicans in opposing a meas ure offering price supports at 85 per cent of parity in re turn for a 25 per cent. cut in acreage, which on June 23 was defeated 171-236 Repre sentative Porter voted yes. 10. Barred under a closed rule from offering any amend ment, the House agreed re luctantly, 223-174, on June 8 to pass a bill extending cor porate income and excise tax rates for another year with out change. Porter voted for it. 11. Minimum wage legisla tion, destined to die before Congress adjourned, was first denatured by the House, when it voted 211-203 on June 30 to substitute a bill cutting the proposed mini mum from $1.25 to $1.15 and new coverage from 3.5 mil lion to 1.4 million workers. Congressman Porter voted against the cut. 12. For the first and last time, a majority of House ReDublicans deserted the President July 1 to help over ride his veto of an $800 mil lion pay raise for postal and other federal workers, on s 345-69 vote, two-thirds need ed to carry.

Sheriff's Reserves Receive Training Jackson County Sheriff's Reserves Sunday rehearsed proceduce which will be used to find lost persons, especially lost hunters this fall. Sheriff's Deputy Lee Rice outlined the procedure to the reserves and acted as a "lost hunter" on the Sun Up ranch on the Long Breach rd, south west of Shady Cove. "The reserves have been partially organized for a num ber of years, but have only been uniformed and organized for two years," Deputy Rice said. "The search and rescue group has participated in sev eral search and rescue cases." The search was called for at 10 a.m., Sunday. The re serves were called and or ganized at 11:15 a.m. At 12 noon they arrived in the gen eral area. The 12 reserves participating were organized into a basic search group in cluding search leader, co ordinator, supply officer and three search groups with leaders. The lost hunter was found at 1:20 p.m. by using a pinch ers technique worked out by the U.S. forest service. This consists of sending out one group in a straight line to a designated spot. Two other groups circle out and in to the same designation. This is repeated until all compass points are covered. The same technique has been used suc cessfully to find lost persons on Mt. Hood.

Medford Tribune SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1960 PAGES 1 to 8 Many States Require Autos To Be Under 80 Inches Wide By JACK VANDENBERQ UPI Automotive Editor Detroit a'PD Most American-made cars have pulled in their bulging waistlines for 1961 to conform with infre quently enforced old laws In several states. They require all vehicles over 80 inches wide to be lit up like trucks. A few of the states threat ened to enforce the antiquated laws last year when many cars exceeded the 80 - inch limit. That would have re quired passenger cars exceed ing the maximum width to carry amber clearance lights and red rear reflectors. Maximum 70 Inches Actually, the Louisiana law sets the maximum at 70 inch es, which would require all cars to carry the special light ing in 1961 if the law was en forced. But most, like that in Wis consin, set the limit at 80 inches. All but three of the 1961 models have been squeez ed under that limit - just in case someone decides to en force the laws before they can be amended. Lumumba Backers Beat Officials Leopoldville, The Congo IUPII - Supporters of deposed pro-Soviet Premier Patrice Lumumba beat up two newly appointed government offi cials Monday, and then took a beating themselves from the troops of strongman Col.

MAIN and CENTRAL Amendment is the auto in dustry's real objective. "There is no limit aimed at the size of a passenger car," an auto industry spokesman said. "These laws are out moded statutes which were aimed at requiring commer cial vehicles, like trucks and buses, to display clearance lights so the driver would be warned of the approach of an unusually wide vehicle at night. "It would be easy to amend these laws to make them ap ply to just commercial ve hicles instead of all vehicles." Experiences Cited The spokesman cited recent experiences with headlights on cars as an example of how states get into trouble when ever they put specifics into laws governing cars. "In 1954 when the auto in dustry brought out improved sealed beam headlights, 30 states had to change legisla tion to make the new head lights legal," he said. "Then a few years later, when dual headlights came out, another 25 states had to change laws to make this improvement legal.' more than 80 inches in width since 1948 and most high riced cars have been at least that wide since 19U0. The luxury cars of 1961 are the major violators of the 80 inch rule. One model of Cadillac is exactly 80 inches in width and so is the 1961 Plymouth. The 1961 Imperial, however, has increased its width from 80.5 in 1960 to 81.7 inches for 1961 models. Fords Shaved All of Ford Motor Com- any's 1960 models, excet the Falcon and Comet, exceeded 80 inches; but all have been shaved between one and two inches to get under the limit in 1961. The same is true of all Gen eral Motors Corp. cars. The Imperial was the only Chrysler Corp. car over 80 inches in width in 1960 and it holds that distinction again in 1961. Even those makers whose cars arc under the maximum however, arc anxious to have the laws amended so they don't apply to passenger cars And all are hoping that no one decides to enforce laws where the maximum is less There have been cars of than 80 inches. Wall Street Chatter New York-IUPD - Spear & cars catch the public fancy, Staff, Inc. feels that the low point for the decline will come In the 550-580 area and that institutional buying will be attracted there. Noting that institutional buying has propped up the market previously, Arthur Weiscnberger Co. says the time will come, and may have arrived, when buying of this sort will prove insufficient to stem a wave of acute and insistent liquidation. If this is true, Weisenbcrg er says, we probably face a period of still lower prices and the probability of a good short-term buying opportunity for an intermediate term rise perhaps late next month prior to the elections. S. B. Lurie of Josephthal St Co. thinks that a speculative case can be made for Chrysler around 42 on grounds that an excellent job has been done in cutting costs to fit the pres ent product mix.
