CHARLES O. PORTER
Congressman Charles O.

fourth district on his record
of effective work for the peo
ple of the district.
Porter believes that the Re
publican tight money-high in

the fourth district is one of
the most important issues of
the campaign.
' Three times he voted for
housing bills that were ve

creased housing construction
and made jobs and payroll
for the lumber industry. t . ,
Porter has an effective reci
ord of getting appropriations
for public works projects
during his four years in of
fice. In Jackson county the
Talent Irrigation project is
under construction with an
ultimate expenditure of $24
million. Screening of the Sav
age Rapids dam has been
completed at a cost of $200,

College Audience
Hears Ted Kennedy
Ashland Ted Kennedy,
younger brother of Demo

Sen. John F. Kennedy, told a
Southern Oregon college audi

tide is running. It is running
strongly and it is running in
favor of the Democrats."
Kennedy was in southern
Oregon for a brief speaking
engagement at SOC. He was
IVi hours late for the engage
ment and blamed the tardi
ness on a late plane from San
Francisco. ,
The younger Kennedy re
peated his brother's charges
that U.S. prestige is faltering.
He pointed to such things as
the President's cancelled trip
to Japan and Vice President
Nixon's poor reception in
Central and South America
two years ago as proof otyhis.

DR. 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)

tries who are looking to use
for leadership. '
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."

been admitted to practice in
South Dakota, had come here
from Portland when well es
tablished there and became
well known for his speed and
accuracy in taking transcripts
of testimony.
Judge Hanna, close person
al friend to the late court re
porter, attempted to voice his
sentiments, but could not and
had to sit down. Speaking for
Judge Hanna ' and himself,
Judge Main said Howard was
a close friend to both of them.
"My life' has been much bet
ter due to knowing Cliff," he
added. "I'm also happy that
Cliff's daughter, Carol, is con
tinuing in his place as court
reporter."

Russia Levels
'Excess' Claims
United Nations, N.Y. (UPD
Russia pressed its campaign
against Secretary-general Dag
Hammarskjold on the budget
ary front today, accusing him
of "extravagant spending" to
support U.S. policies in , the
Congo and in Laos.
The Soviet attack on Ham-
marskjold's spending policies
came in the administrative
and budgetary committee
while the secretary - general
was defending the General
Assembly in the UN for its
policies in the Congo as re
sponsible acts in a desperate
emergency.
No Alternative
India, however, declared in
the assembly that there is no
alternative to the Congolese
"running their affairs in their
own way." '
Soviet Delegate A. A. Ros
chin told the 99-nation fiscal
committee Russia "catcgori
callv objects" to Hammar-
skjold's request for a . $67.5
million budget for 1961. He
said the budget should be
"stabilized" at about $50 mil
lion.
Roschin said UN budgets
had risen an "excessive" $20
million since 1954. He charged
that Hammarskjold had "fol
lowed the U.S. line" in or
ganizing UN missions to such
areas as Laos, Guinea ana tne
Congo which were "political"
rather than administrative.
Roschin reiterated Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev's
demand for a three-man pre

the United Nations.

league members. 1 Then, ' con
siderable progress was report
ed by both industries in re

A. Boitano, of the City San
itary Service, local garbage

method in the White City

trict of Medford, which con
sists almost entirely of pa

more and expect to do bet
ter." v

that the Industry had a poor
year, but overall the grow

and will request they .be ex
empted, he added. . .
A representative of the
lumber . industry said this
morning that lumber mills
are being forced to. abandon
waste wood burning through
"economic necessity." "They
know that to stay In business
much longer they will have
to make use of all the wood
brought to the mills," - he
commented.
"This will be done gradu
ally. . To move any faster
would force some mills out
of business since equipment
needed to utilize these waste
materials is expensive." the
spokesman concluded.

A doctor said if the shot had

have caused death. . .
Strike Link Unknown
Police Chief William Hil-
bruner said it was too early to
tell if the shooting was con

strike against The Oregonian
and the Oregon Journal.
We'll know when we catch'
him," HUbruner said.
Newhouse helped reorgan

strike started last Nov. 10.
Both newspapers have con
tinued to publish and until
last April published combined
editions in The Oregonian
plant.
Police said Newhouse was

shop. They said the gunman
apparently climbed through
shrubbery at the back of the
house, located, in the West
Hills area of Portland, and
fired through a window from
a potlon about six feet above
Newhouse.
Newhouse's wife, Lee, said
she was on the second floor of
the home putting their five
children to bed. "I heard a
loud pop, and explosion, and
I thought the TV tube had
blown up."
She said she went down
stairs calling her husband's
