The Med ford Mail Tribune Says of Duncan in an Editorial Oct. 27, 1960 I Jackson county has two seats in the house of representatives of the Oregon legislature. There are four candidates for the two seats, two Republicans and two Democrats. Of the four, Bob Duncan, a Democrat, now completing his second term, is with out question the ablest, most widely experienced and broadly qualified. Duncan was elected speaker of the house in his second term of office, an unprecedented honor and indication of respect from his house colleagues. If he is reelected, there Is a good chance he would again become speaker. . On the last night of the last session of the legislature, the leaders of both party organizations in the house arose to give him unexpected, but heart-felt, praise for a job well and Impartially done. As a veteran of the important ways and means committee, and as speaker of the house, Duncan has had experience in state government which seldom comes to one under 40. He is in a unique position to give valuable service to Jackson county and the state. E. A. Ve IX DUNCAN Democrat for State Representative Pd I. Pol. Ad. Duncan for Lag.

Device Explodes Under Seat in Subway Train Ne York-OJPll-The Sunday bomber or bombers who set off six explosive devices here In as many weeks today can claim an accomplishment New York's original mad bomber never achieved a human vic tim. The most powerful bomb In the grim series that started Oct. 2 exploded Sunday night in a subway train standing with its doors open in a Har lem subway station. Of the 30 passengers in the car, 18; were injured and one, a 15-year-old girl, was killed. Two Still Critical At least two of the Injured were reported still in critical condition today. Edward Wil son, 19, of Brooklyn, had frac tures of both legs and lacera tions. Robert Sawyer, 19, of Brooklyn, had his left leg blown off by the blast. The death and the injuries brought the Sunday holiday bomb causualty total to near ly 60. All but one of the car's windows were shattered, a two-foot hole was torn in the steel floor at the rear where the device was hidden, and chunks of concrete were gouged from the platform. Po lice today were picking through the car and debris from the roadbed in hopes of finding a clue to the holiday bomber-turned-killer. Dynamite Suspected Police Commisioner Stephen P. Kennedy said the bomb ap peared to have been dynamite, and that he was not certain it was the work of the bomber who set off the earlier de vices. Five of the previous bombs had been made of black powder crudely packed into cardboard containers. The dead girl, identified by police as Sandra Breland of Brooklyn, daughter of a trans it authority worker, was sil ling in the seat under which the explosive was hidden. Both her legs were blown off. The original "mad bomber," George Metcsky, planted more than 30 devices around the city from 1940 to 1956 when he was tracked down. He now is in a hospital for the crim inally insane. Red Observance Joined by Cuba Havana-IUPD - The revolu tionary regime of Fidel Castro today joined the Communist world in marking the 43rd an niversary of the Bolshevik revolution. At the same time, it kept alive fears of a United States backed "invasion" by muster ing more militia units and distributing civilian defense lnstructons. Hghlights of observances here of the 1917 Russian revo lution were the inauguration of Cuban air line service to Prague, Czechoslovakia, and a gala reception arranged by Soviet Ambassador Sergei M. Kudriavtsev. Premier Castro and other top-ranking government of ficials were expected to at tend the party tonight at the Soviet Embassy, the home of a Cuban millionaire which was confiscated by the Cuban government. Russian, Czech, Polish and Red Chinese "technicians" in Cuba also were expected to join !n celebrations to mark the red letter day in Com munist history. Observers esti mated there were about 4,000, most of them apparently mili tary men, on the island. Many were said to be operating in eastern Cuba near the big U.S. naval base of Guan-tnnamo. Rural Reflections By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegale Valley- John Black is busy catching up with things at the farm after traveling most of the summer fighting forest fires. He reports he was sent as dispatcher to fires at Ukiah and was division boss of the Coos fire protection district. In addition, he fought a num ber of fires in Jackson and Josephine counties. He reports that most of his cows are home from the range now. Other local cattlemen with stock on the higher ranges report that they arc having trouble rounding the cattle up. However, a good snow will send them home, the cattlemen report. Dog owners spent $350 mil lion on dog food alone in 1959. Th Duka of Atholl has 19 titles. Record Number of Oregon Voters Expected at Polls Portland - UIPB - Oregoni ans are expected to vote in record numbers Tuesday as they decide whether Vice President Richard Nixon or Sen. John Kennedy will get the state's six electoral votes for president and choose be tween Maurine Neuberger and Elmo Smith for the U. S. Senate. Oregon voters also will elect four congressmen and and three state officers, choose their state legislators, decide on 15 ballot measures and vote on local candidates and issues. The registration in Oregon is 900,616 and election offi cials have forecast a possi ble turnout of 82 to 87 per cent. The weather outlook for election day is partly cloudy. Johnson Misses Stale Both Nixon and Kennedy appeared in Oregon but early in the campaign. Nixon's Re publican running mate, Hen ry Cabot Lodge, also was in Oregon but Sen. Lyndon Johnson, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, did not appear in the state. Waterhouse polls have giv en Nixon an edge in the pres idential race in Oregon, al though Democrats have a 75,-393-vote lead in registration with 480,588 to 405,195. Oregon voted for Presi dent Eisenhower in both 1952 and 1956. Hard Fought Race The race between Mrs. Neu berger, 53, Democratic nom inee to succeed her late hus band, Sen. Richard L. Neu berger, and ex-GOP Gov. Smith, 50, Albany publisher, has been one of the hardest fought of the Oregon cam paign. The two candidates made several joint appear ances and clashed frequently on defense and foreign poli cy. Late in the campaign Smith claimed there was a rift between Mrs. Neuberger and other leaders of her par ty but Democrats denied this and said she had the endorse ment of Sen. Wayne Morse (D.Ore.) and the incumbent Democratic c o n g r e ssional members. Smith and Mrs. Neuberger are running for both a short term starting ' election day and a full, six-year term start ing in January. Rep. Edith Green (D-Port-land), is after her fourth straight term in Congress and is opposed by conservative Re publican Wallace Lee. Reps. Al Ullman and Charles O. Porter, also Dem ocrats, seek their third straight terms. Ullman is op posed in Eastern Oregon by businessman - farmer Ron Phair of Klamath Falls and Porter is opposed in the 4th district by Dr. Edwin Durno, a Republican state senator from Medford. Oregon's only incumbent Republican congressman, Rep. Walter Norblad, is seeking his eighth term. Ex-Army Pri vate IWarv Owens, 25, is the Democratic nominee. Appling Faces Sweetland The top state office up for grabs is secretary of state. Howell Appling Jr., the Re publican appointee of Gov. Mark Hatfield, faces State Sen. Monroe Sweetland (D Milwaukie). Sweetland lost to Hafield in 1956 for this posi tion. Appling said the issues of the campaign should not be clouded by the "regrettable circulation of handbills against my opponent, and I hope the voters will not be influenced in either direction by this . . ." Four persons were named in Portland Fri day in indictments charging political criminal libel in con nection with material circu lated against Sweetland. Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton seeks a third term and his opponent is State Sen. Carl Francis (R-Dayton). Thornton defeated Francis for the position in 1958 by about 10.000 votes. The third state office to be decided is state treasurer. In cumbent Howard Belton, like Appling a Hatfield appointee, is the Republican candidate and State Sen. Ward Cook of Portland is the Democratic nominee. Democrats again hope to control the legislature. A full slate of 60 members will be named to the House and half of the 30 State Senate posi tions are up. Democrats are putting a dozen of their Sen ate seats on the line and Re publicans only three. Measures Bring Batilat The measures represent one of the longest lists in years. The hottest fight ;;as been over billboards. The measure would not allow billboards within 660 feet of main routes 99 and 30. Another issue on the ballot is daylight saving time. Pres ent state law prohibits It. Or egon Is one of the few states that remains on standard time through the summer. An issue calling for $135 million in bonds for the state veterans' farm and home loan program also is on the ballot. Three other measures in clude state bonds for higher education, bonds for a state building program and the 1959 personal income tax bill. The higher education bonds would permit dormitories and other college buildings on a pay-as-you-go basis. oooooo o o STABLISHED 1896 GREEN STAMPS, o o r wiggly.
