A Fly Hat 20-20 Vision,
He Sm Better Than You
If It means anything at all
"20-20" vision in the com
mon housefly means that the
creature can see at least 20
times better than a human so
endowed.
This keenness of vision is
the reason the fly is not there
when you try to swat him, or
her. Eyesight saves the fly.
That and lightning-like re
flexes, and the ability to make
snap-decisions makes this
household pest a most elusive
target.
The fly can see too good,
and in evegy direction at the
same time. No one has ever
explained just how the fly's
"reflexes and muscular actions
can be so quickly sorted out
and put In operation, but this
character can dodge and get
out of the way in the split
second that elapses between
the starting of a few inch
stroke of a fly swatter and its
impact. That's a time lag of
about 1-S0th of a second.
Adjusted to Movement
1 The eyes of a fly, composed
of thousands of individual
facets or lenses, are adjusted
to movement. The quicker the
movement, the faster the fly
reacts. Still objects probably
don't register at all; the poor

sap thinks all's well, but he
leaps away at the first quiver
of a movement.
If all is quiet, the fly pro
ceeds to crawl over food or
dishes, but grab a swatter,
aim carefully, put your
shoulder into the swing, and
with all your drive and force,
swing on him. Your aim may
be perfect, your determination
firm; you hit exactly where
you aim, but he fly flew. You
goofed.
One reason why you miss
so often is that you are try
ing to duplicate his alertness
and speed. He's nervous, and
besides, he's quick. He has
faster "break-away power."
He has an uncanny "get-out-of-the-way"
speed that shows
you how very slow your own
reflexes have become. This
old idea that "the hand is
quicker than the eye," falls
flat on its face when dealing
with a creature with thous
ands of eyes beamed in all di
rections at one and the same
time.
Perplexing Question
Perhaps It's not so strange
that the fly should be
equipped by nature with com
pound eyes, but the perplex
ing part is, how come the little
jerks have hair-trigger re
flexes and the ability to make

!s ' SPECIAL- 1
This is the way the Legis
lature ends: "not with a bang
but a whimper."
Topics of paramount inter
est as the 1961 session limps
toward adjournment are both
of major importance to the
future of Oregon: (1) the ses
sion's concrete record of laws
enacted, and (2) the session's
influence on the political ca
reers of its members.
A review of the work rec
ord must wait until after the
last day's last frantic efforts
to kill or pass legislation.
At this writing, however,
whimpers of disappointment
and frustration indicate that
many lawmakers are drained
of high hopes; tired and de
pressed, they feel like poet
T. S. Eliot's post-war genera
tion: -
"We are the hojlow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with i
straw. Alas! '
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and
meaningless
As wind in the dry '; '
grass . . ." . ' -
But there will be a delayed
action bang!
Its effects' will be felt in
the 1962 election, toward
which a number of legislators
are casting a speculative eye,
with new hope arising al
ready. Hatfield Holds Key
In 1962, Oregon voters will
choose a governor, a U. S.
senator, four U. S. representa
tives, at least 15 state sen
ators, and at least 60 state
representatives.
Gov. Mark Hatfield holds
the key to the outcome of
the 1962 election.
If he withstands high-powered
Republican pressure to
run against Democratic' Sen.
Wayne Morse, and keeps his
oft-repeated pledge to run for
reelection, there is today little
doubt that Mark Hatfield can
be reelected to a second term.
There is equally little doubt
that Wayne Morse can be re
elected to a fourth term in
the United States Senate.
A Hatfield - Morse fight
would be the battle of the
century in Oregon. No one is
fooled by the well-publicized
"love feast" between these
two this month. Both are gut-
fighters. Both have no use for
each other except as tempo
rary political bed-partners in
whatever kind of marriage
convenience may dictate. In
fact, shortly after the official
end-of-the-feud nuptial cere
monies in the governor's of
fice, Morse candidly Indicated
he still thinks that Hatfield is
"intellectually dishonest." to
which the governor unblush
ingly refused comment.
Among other prominent Re
publicans mentioned as can
didates against Morse, Secre
tary of State Howell Appling
could make the race without
jeopardizing his job because
his term is not up until 1965.
Defeat at the hand of one of
the toughest campaigners of
them all would not eclipse
Appling's promising career as
a new white hope for conserv
ative Republicans in Oregon.
Yiurri Mentioned
Charming, handsome, and
able Senator Anthony Yturri
(K - Ontario), GOP minority
leader, is mentioned as a can
didate either against Morse
or U. S. Rep. Al Ullman of
the Second District. Outstand
ing Republican in the Senate,
Yturri is one of the few east
ern Orgonians 6f either party
who is very likely to succeed
to higher state (governor) or
national (congressional) office.
Former GOP State Chair
man Peter Gunriar, no legis
lator but familiar in the State
house, likewise is one of the
GOP's best potential candi
dates, perhaps as First Dis
trict congressman (If Walter
Norblad does not run for re
election to a 10th term) or
as a sacrificial lamb thrown"
to Morse.
Only serious challenger for
Morse, of course, would be
Hatfield, and Hatfield's ambi
tion, adroitly exploited by na
tional GOP leaders, could se
duce the governor from the
comparative safety of a race
for reelection into the frying
pan with Morse gleefully
stoking the fire.
Promises reflecting the
White House gleam in Hat
field's eye would seem to be
the only possible bait to per
suade Oregon's governor to
trv for the Senate In '62.
Wide Open Race
It is this outside chance
Patronize This PARK
Wainscott's

that makes Hatfield the de
cisive figure in the state po
litical picture for 1962. Should
he not run for governor, the
race would be wide open.
Democrats, with a majority of
the registered voters, would
look forward confidently to
defeating Appling or Norblad,
two most likely . GOP guber
natorial candidates.
Several legislators are pos
sible Democratic candidates
for governor including House
Speaker Robert B. Duncan of
Medford, Sen. Walter Pearson
and Alfred Corbett of Port
land, Sen. Robert Straub of
Eugene, Sen. Al Flegel of
Roseburg.
Attorney General Robert Y.
Thornton came close to run
ning for governor in 1956 and
could run next year in the
middle of his third term as
the state's chief legal officer-
and with considerable grass
roots support, as well as the
backing of some party insid
ers. Democrats who yearn for
the old days when Howard
Morgan led their bedraggled
band to resurgent strength
and glory (by electing Richard
L. Neuberger), rather wistful
ly hope Morgan will return
from his Federal Power Com
mission appointment in Wash
ington, D. C, to run for gov
ernor, judge the quick and
the dead, and save the Demo
cratic party again.
Chances Far Out
The chances for such a sec
ond coming in 1962 are real
far out indeed, as is the talk
that U. S. Rep. Edith Green
might be building up her
state - wide organization in
hopes of becoming Oregon's
first woman governor (if Sen.
Maurlne Neuberger doesn't
get. there first).
Realists predict that Mrs,
Green either will (1) be re
elected if she runs, or (2)
accept a federal appointmen
from President Kennedy an'
be out of the Oregon picture
except as a continuing influ
ence on the careers of others
through her loyal guerillas.
In the event of the latter,
a Third District tournament
between two gentlemanly
knights, Republican TV and
radio personality Tom Law.
son McCall and Democratic
Sen. Alfred Corbett is a pros
pect.
Those two are evenly match'
ed in several ways. Both come
fror.. Old pregon families,
have distinguished records of
civic service, are liberal, could
command labor support as
well as the respect of conser
vative residents of Portland's
heights and suburbs. ,
Possible GOP Candidates
In the First District. Peter
Gunnar of Salem, Wendell
Wyatt of Astoria, Wayne Gie-
sy of Corvallis, Rep. Victor
Atiyeh of Washington county,
are being discussed as possible
GOP candidates for Congress.
The Democrats have, as po
tential First District candi
dates: Robert Rlchter of Sa
lem, KOAC radio and TV man
now covering the Legislature;
Rep. Cornelius Bateson of Ma
rion county, serving his first
term with long-ranee political
ambitions; Blaine Whipple of
Washington county, the Dem
ocratic party's executive sec
retary; Washington County
Judge Joe Jaross; and Thorn
ton and Salem attorney Jason
Lee, both previously defeated
by Norblad. ;
Freshman Republican Con
gressman E d w in Durno,
Fourth District, faces a cer
tain contest, with his most
liekly Democratic opponent a
member of this Legislature,
Sen. Flegel and Reps. Duncan,
Clarence Burton (Coquille)
and W. O. Kclsay (Roseburg)
probably will avoid a primary
contest between themselves
by getting together to decide
which one would have the
best chance of dumping Dur
no. ' ;
Duncan's friends would
rather see him run against
Durno, with a real chance of
success, than against Hatfield,
the great X-Mark in 1962, in
any case. i

A second successive record
high spring bank call deposit
total was noted by First Na
tional Bank of Oregon when
the statewide bank reported
its April 12, 1961, statement
of condition figures to the
comptroller of the currency
Deposits of $866,423,020
were reported, which topped
the previous spring mark by
$30 million, set March 15,
1960. Loans for the 87 First
National offices amounted to
5483,112,949, an increase of
$2 million over a year ago.
The Medford branch of
First National reported April
12 deposits of $26,789,362, and
loans totalling $14,514,069, ac
cording to J. A. Moore, vice
president and manager.
.Comparable totals for the
branch for the March 15, 1960,
show deposits were $26,052,
508 and loans $15,713,259.
Figures from the Central
Point branch show that on
April 12, 1961, deposits at the
branch were $3,251,634, and
loans were $2,412,807, accord
ing to Francis C. Ayres,
branch manager. Comparable
totals for the branch for a
year ago show that on that
date, deposits were $3,155,922
and loans were $2,261,499.
Phoenix branch figures
showed that on April 12, 1961,
deposits at the branch were
$670,541 and loans were $152,
328, according to Emmett
Whltham, branch manager.

acting as the swing group.
Candidates include Sens. Cor

Cook, all of Portland, and
Ben Musa, The Dalles. Cook,
unsuccessful candidate against
Howard Belton for state treas
urer, stands a good chance of
being Senate president ("just
a heartbeat away from the
governorship ) as a compro
mise between Corbett (liberal)
and Mahoney (conservative).
Democratic control of the
House in 1963 is by no means
assured, and the GOP has a
natural candidate for Speaker
in their minority leader, F. F,
Montgomery, shiek of Repub
lican "Young Turks."
Reps. William Holmstrom
(Astoria), Richard Eymann
(Lane county), Grace Peck or
Ed Whelan (Portland) could
be the next Democratic speak
er. '
Hatfield has had time to
make some enemies but he is
still "our leader" to most Re
publicans. His inner strength
and self-confidence he derives
from his detailed knowledge
of state government, his total
commitment to whatever
bright star he is following,
his intolerance of interfer
ence, the wide-eyed devotion
he inspires in the breasts of
an unknown number of ad
mirers including his religious
following these things com
bine to make Hatfield the top
dog whom dissident Republi
cans buck at their own peril.
One not afraid to speak up
against Hatfield is Howell Ap
pling. The disaffection be
tween the governor and his
secretary of state is real,
their protestations notwith
standing. Appling, darling of
the Democrats and of conser
vative Republicans, has threat
ened to resign rather than
knuckle under to Hatfield's
plan for government reorgan
ization which strips the sec
retary of state of almost all
but Capitol custodial duties.
