o O MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1S60 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. Bitterness Flares in Illinois Campaigning; Voter Reaction Varies GOP Top Ticket Expected To Be Hard To Defeat By CHRIS VLAHOPLUS Springfield, 111. - IUPD - ; Whistle-stopping has been given new meaning and fla vor in Illinois where a Repub lican governor is fighting with a helicopter campaign for his political life. 1 The 'copter campaign mir rors what candidates on both sides have said since the start , of the vote-getting treks-the ' Illinois campaign would be one of the most intensive in the state's history. It's been a rough campaign and about the only thing the ; Republicans and Democrats agree on is that the races in the state will be tight. Depends on Area Voter reaction has ranged from enthusiastic to desultory depending on the area. Visits ; by Vice President Richard M. ' Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge seemed to give the Re publicans the early advantage in the whoop-la department. However, Sen. John F. Ken nedy campaigned down state last week, following up Lyn don B. Johnson. The top of the Republican ticket will be hard to beat in Illinois which is traditionally Republican. The Republicans will have a tougher time in the state races. The man getting the most attention in Illinois politics isn't even on the ticket. He is Richard J. Daley, mayor of Chicago, who, as chairman of ;; the Cook County Central Committee, is the state's lead ing Democrat. GOP Hits Daley Republicans have accused him of handpicking the Dem ocratic candidates and of try ing to control the whole state from Chicago's City Hall. Politicians sometimes con sider Illinois as three vote areas: (1) Chicago; (2) south ern Illinois; (3) the rest of it. ', The Democrats are strong in Chicago. Downstate the Re publicans have the power. The big question is can the Democrats turn out enough Chicago votes to offset a likely ...Republican majority ,in the other 101 counties? Both parties are counting heavily on the presidential candidates to help the state tickets. There has been no indication that either Ken nedy or Nixon will get them selves personally embroiled in the campaign of bitterness now underway. Muddv Brushes Used Never too happy with each -other. Chicago and downstate are feuding with muddy brushes. The Republican campaign is pegged to the charge that victory by Democrats in mi- ", nois ould bring the "sins" of Chicago to the statehouse in Springfield. Chicago is a city nf norruDtion. they say, and Democrats run it. More spe cifically, Daley runs it and he runs the candidate for gov ernor, according to Republic ans. The Republican warning to the small towns and rural areas decries crime syndi ' cates. the Chicago police scan dal and unsolved murders, At the front of the Republic an brieade is Gov. William G.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - Ore gon s four memDers oi ine House of Representatives - three Demo crats and, one Republican -were unani mous in their votes on key c o ntroversial issues about half as often as they dif fered during a Kobt. smiui the two regu lar and one bobtail sessions of the 86th Congress. Rep. Charles O. Porter, seeking reelection in the 4th district, and his two Demo cratic colleagues, Reps. Edith Green of Portland and Al Ull raan of Baker, were in the liberal bloc which urged more federal social programs. The state's only Republican is Rep. Walter Norblad of Stay ton. . About the only safe general izations about the entire Ore gon House delegation is that they are all internationalist in their outlook toward foreign affairs, and at home they fa vor stronger civil rights meas ures for minorities. Congressman Norblad tend ed to be nearly as conservative on domestic issues as Presi dent Eisenhower, although he jumped over with the liberals on several Issues which the Administration opposed such as pay raises for federal work ers and more public wortcs projects. Here are the chief issues on which roll call votes were tak en in the House the past two years and the positions taken by the Oregon solons: MEDICAL CARE - all lour voted for the changes in the social security act by which additional grants would be made to the states for medical assistance to the needy. The three Democrats, however, fa vored going farther than that to adoDt the Kennedy-Forand aDDroach for making , social security recipients eligible for medical care payments. Nor blad -thought Congress ought to study it some more. On another bill appropriat ing funds for tne veterans Administration, a proposal for nearly doubling VA hospital construction funds was ap proved. Green and Porter op posed it, Ullman favored it, and Norblad was absent. LABOR-During .House de li a t e on a higher minimum wage, the bill which came from committee was whittled down by a substitute which reduced from $1.25 to $1.15 the minimum age and reduc ed the number of additional workers to be covered from 3.5 million to 1.4 million. The three Democrats opposed this reduction, and, Norblad voted for it. firemen do. the Junior Fire Marshal Program Oregon's On granting a 7V4 per cent raise to all postal and govern ment workers, all four voted for it even after the president vetoed the bill; and they all opposed ah effort to whittle this one down to 5 per cent, except Mrs. Green who was absent for the latter vote. Last year during debate on the labor reform bill growing out of the rackets investiga tion, Norblad alone voted for the more restrictive Landrum Griffin bill which was adopt ed. The three Democrats op posed that measure. EDUCATION - The House this year for the first time Park Service Lists Most of Nation's Historic Landmarks Washington - IUP1I - The Na tional Park service is press ing ahead with a herculean job-listing most of the na tion's historic and pre-historic landmarks. The task because of its size will not be completed before 1963. But through it NPS officials hope to per suade state and local groups to go all out in preserving their own milestones in his tory. The service has assigned 10 archeologists and histor ians to compile the list of sites and buildings regarded as ex ceptionally valuable in com memorating or illustrating the nation s past. When their work is com - pleted and finally approved by the Secretary of the Inter ior, the detailed accounting may be a disappointment to some localities. Some monu ments which may be a source of civic pride may not be deemed worthy of inclusion in the master list. But service fieldmen will inspect each site and report pertinent facts such as why a site is important, its precise location, condition, owner ship and present use. That, however, is only the first step in the weeding-out pro cess, . Reports on sites which pass this first screening are being sent to the main office here for evaluation by a special counseling committee. An 11 member advisory board then subjects the reports to an other screening, and the final recommendation is passed on to the interior secretary for approval The survey includes 22 "themes" of U.S. history, ranging from pre-historic hunters to the overland mi grations which stretched the nation's boundaries westward to the Pacific Oceam n is educational.

Norblad voted against it, the Democrats all favored it. When the Republi cans sought to substitute the Administration's proposal for federal payments of debt serv ice on local school bonds, the whole Oregon group opposed it. Likewise, they all opposed a proposal for financing school aid from cigarette taxes. PUBLIC WORKS - Con gress passed but Eisenhower vetoed a bill to increase fed eral grants for sewage plant projects connected with John O.

When House tried to override the the veto, Norblad backed the pres ident and the three Democrats supported the expanded anti pollution program. Congress approved legisla tion permitting the TVA to Issue revenue bonds with which to finance additional power facilities. All but Nor blad supported this bill. Last year when Congress added 67 new projects to the annual public works appro priations bills, Eisenhower ve toed it.

Congress authorized a new San Luis Irrigation project unit for California which was ambiguous about the tradition al lb'0-acre limitation on the size of farms eligible for fed eral water. Congressman Ulr man successfully got an amendment attached to the bill emphasizing the limita tion. Only Norblad opposed it from Oregon. ECONOMICS - Mrs. Green and Ullman' opposed increas ing the gas tax from three to four cents, and Porter and Norblad favored it as a means of making the highway aid program self-supporting, x Norblad alone supported an effort to give the president the power to raise the inter est rate over 4 Vi per cent for long-term government securi ties. .- All four voted last year for a liberalized housing bill.
