(UPI Telephoto) Capitol Memo Oregon Democrats Ponder Election Of House Speaker Ok Al J U BY DOUGLAS CRIPP Salem-IUPll-Dcmocrats, who hold a shaky 31-29 edge in the 10C1 Oregon House of Representative, hope to find out tnts ween end whether they have enough votes to elect the speaker of the House when the; Legisla ture convenes in January Oregon Domini Grl) " e m o c rauc Chairman Robert Straub says trankly he doesn't know. Democratic state Senators md Representatives will hold caucus in Salem Saturday and the Issue will come up. Although Democrats have a majority in the House, Re publicans hope that several Democratic Rep resentatives who have often voted with the GOP in the past may help them elect a speaker of Re publican choosing. , One of these is Rep. George Annnla, (D-Hood River), a candidate for speaker in 1959. He concedes that in the past he'has joined Republicans on issues which divide the par tics. But as for organizing the House, "I'm not a traitor to the Democratic party," he de clared. Annala says he is not a con tender for House speaker this year. i. Two others often in the cross-over category are Reps. Katherine Musa, (D - The Dalles), and Don McKlnnis, (D-Summerville). But Straub says he is "not worried" about their loyalty. A fourth key figure could be Emil Stunz, (D-Nyssa.) Stunz said he has made no commitments for speaker and will attend the caucus with "an open mind." Such a simple thing as one Democratic switch would throw the House Into a 30-30 lie, and a scrambling for com promise. The controlling party also gels to make com mittee appointments. The two outright candidates for speaker are Reps. Robert Duncan, (D-Mcdford), speak er of the 1959 session, and W. H. Holmstrom, (D-Gcar-hart), both are confident that the speaker will be a Democrat.
