Sweetland said Oregon had the third lowest illiteracy rate in the country and that the state's real problem on public questions was apathy among voters. Appling said 100,000 persons did not vote on some measures in 1958 and said he considered that for voters to feel informed was more important than a liter acy test. Cook, the Democratic treas urer nominee, said he believes the Board of Control should be abolished, making the gov ernor responsible for its func tions. Belton, the GOP in cumbent, said he believed "three heads are better than one." The board is made up of the governor, secretary of state and the state treasurer. Francis and Thornton, who also traded statements on the Portland vice probe earlier in the day, brought up the sub ject again. Francis, the GOP candidate for the second straight time against Thorn ton, criticized the incumbent for taking the time to run for Congress. Thornton disputed Francis' assessment of the probe and said his efforts re sulted in closing Portland gambling places and houses of prostitution. Earlier, Thorn ton replied to Francis' criti cism about his running lor Congress by saying the vice probe was in 1956 and that an inctjui lascs wcic uuijuku . nf hnfnro hp filpH to run for I Congress.
