Duncan Claims
30 Democratic
Votes as Speaker
Hood River Man
Still Uncommitted
' Salem - IUPD - State Rep.
Robert Duncan (D-Medford)
Sunday claimed 30 Democrat
ic votes for speaker of the
House in the 1961 Oregon Leg
islature. .
The number was only one
pledge short of assuring his
election to an unprecedented
second term as speaker.
' Duncan had 20 of the 31
Democratic votes Saturday
night following the breakup
of a 4V4 hour Democratic
House caucus with George An
nala of Hood River and Juan-
ita Orr of Lake Grove un
committed. But Sunday Rep. Orr threw
her vote to Duncan leaving
Annala as the lone uncommit
ted Democratic representa
tive. Duncan said he could
not claim the speakership.
Democrats have a 31-29 ma
jority in the House and want
to make sure of a united front
in selecting the speaker when
the legislature meets Jan. 9.
Twenty-eight House mem
bers attended Saturday's cau
cus but Duncan had proxy
votes from the other two miss
ing representatives, Kathcr
ine Musa of The Dalles and
Grace Peck of Portland.
Democratic senators had
planned a caucus of their own
but only nine of the 20 turned
up and the session was merely
an informal discussion perioa.
Sen. Robert Straub, Eugene,
Oregon Democratic chairman,
said a caucus of Democratic
senators would be scheduled
later. A struggle for Senate
president is going on between
Sens. Harry Boivin, Klamath
Falls, and Alfred Corbett,
Portland.
