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.

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.

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.
