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. Representative
Porter voted to override the
President's veto.

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.

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.

Mobutu stormed into the
United Nations headquarters
after the incident for a three

representative Rajeshwar Da
yal and Chief of Staff Gen.
Carl Van Horn.
, He repeated his demand for
withdrawal of Ghana and Gu
inea troops, and his support
ers threatened action against
the embassies of the two coun
tries. Ghana troops allegedly
looked on as the two men
were beaten.

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

case can be made for Chrysler

excellent job has been done
in cutting costs to fit the pres
