EDWIN R. DURNO I am, by honest conviction and after years of interest in public affairs, a Republican. I wholeheartedly, subscribe to the 1960 Republican platform as the program' most likely to keep us a nation morally and economically strong and independent. I am, however, a Republi can third. I am first an Amer ican and second an Oregoni an. . ' . As a member of Congress, I shall put first things first, without regard to personal aggrandizement. I am not a professional politician. I was born on a farm near Albany, Ore., worked my way through the University of Oregon. I taught school in order to at tend "'medical school. For 30 years I practiced my chosen profession, with - time out to serve in two wars - in the first as an enlisted man, in the second as an Army phy sician.. I have seen human suffering, as , the result of war and social injustice, at its worst, Now I am in a po sition to devote my most ma ture years to public service. My desire to serve a country and a people that I love and respect was my one reason for serving ' in the Oregon State Senate and my one rea son for becoming a candidate for Congress.' A Congressman's first duty is to serve his own' people, his own area. The needs of our own area, within the bounds of what is good for our nation and the world, will be my first concern. Be yond that, I shall devote my self to those duties assigned to me as a United States Con gressman. (Continued on Page 5) Washington - IUP1) - Vice President Richard M.

' An example of this, he said, is the U.S. policy regarding the Algerian drive for inde pendence. The government proclaims its support of Al gerian independence, he said, but yet it has abstained on United Nations to condemn French policy in Algeria "four times." The U.S. also sends equipment and supplies to France, he charged, which it knows will be used in the Algerian war. "Democrats do not say it would be different," if they were in office, Kennedy said, but "when the Vice President says things are going well it is not true." Kennedy said that when his brother criticizes the military preparedness of the U.S., he is taking the judgment of mili tary men who have testified that the military establish ment in the , country "is on the decline."
