Ver non Cook (D-Troutdale) de clared that the bill was "con ceived in spite and malice." The vote was 17-12 with conservative Democrats' and Republicans on the majority side and Liberals on the other. SB457, carried by Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney (D-Port-land) went to the House. Intra-Party Squabble No one said so, but the bill involves a Democratic intra-party squabble between conservative and liberal ele ments. It would prohibit state parties from endorsing can didates and forcing party members to adhere to party platforms. Cook and Sen. Alfred Cor bett, both Liberal spokesmen, attacked the bill. Corbett, Portland Demo crat, termed it a "direct at tack on the vitality and viril ity of political parties." It would create "panty-waist parties," he said, parties un able to follow up on an adopt ed platform. Cook said it "violates every concept of freedom of speech" envisioned by America's Founding Fathers. The Democratic party is headed by a Liberal, Sen. Robert W. Straub (D-Eugene). The exchange was the biggest battle between the two ele ments in the legislature so far. Garbage Collectors To Get White Collars London -MPD-Rural councils plan to turn their garbage col lectors into white collar work ers.

Mahoney called the Lib erals "Self-appointed Sav iours" who contend that the people aren't able to choose between candidates them selves and need "guidance." "Who are they kidding?" he asked. Said Not Liberals Mahoney said the party likes to endorse a certain can didate and "hold up as the real Democrat, or the real Republican." "You're not Liberals," he declared, "you're reaction aries of the worst kind." Corbett said a party is en titled to be "firm, forceful and even foolish" if it wants to, because it is a matter of internal party policy. Those voting against the bill were: Sens. Chapman, Cook, Alfred Corbett, Flcgel, Grenfell, Groener, Hopkins, Key, Lewis, Naterlin, Straub and Sweetland.
