o Beavers Top Hawaii 5-3 In Pacific Coasf Action By United Preii International If Spokane appeared to be a little frustrated today, it was understandable after a long and maddening ninth inning at Vancouver. The Indians were leading 2-1 and had two down at the ninth when they almost got the final out several different times, but just could not make It. With two down, Vancou ver's Bob Weisner walked and Al Negal singled.

At the end of each statement are the answers to questions asked by the League of Women Voters of Oregon. If no answers appear, the questionnaire was not returned. The questions for state office candidates were; 1. What legislative program would you propose to meet the financial needs of the state, such as those of education at all levels, state institutions, welfare? 2. Are you in agreement with present constitutional provisions for legislative reapportionment? If not, what method do you favor? , 3. What action do you propose taking in regard to constitutional revision? 4. Do you favor reorganization of the executive branch of the government? If so, how? 5. To what specific areas of interest would you plan to direct your major efforts at the next legislative ses sion? The answers following the candidates' statements are numbered according to the question. Democrats for Representative Al Bradford Alva N. (Al) Bradford, 42, Medford city councilman, can didate in the Democratic pri mary for the Oregon House of Representatives, is starting his sixth year on the city council. He and his wile, Joyce, and three daughters. Cathy 13, Cindy 10, and Carol 8, live at 1023 Mt. Pitt ave. "I believe we must recog nize the problems facing our growing, changing state and attempt to find solutions to them. We must expand our higher education facilities in order to prepare for the huge number of graduates coming from our high schools. Thirty to 35 per cent more students are expected to be asking ad mittance to Oregon's colleges and universities during the 63-65 biennium. We must see that they have the opportu nity to continue their educa tion. We must explore more fully the practicality of the community or junior college as a partial answer to this pressing problem. We must maintain Oregon's excellent record that has been made by our outstanding public school systems. Additional State Aid "Additional state aid to schools will be necessary to help hold down increase in the property tax ratci "We must search for ways to encourage the expansion and diversification of the Oregon economy. By greater growth in industry, agricul ture, the business world and the tourist industry, we will not only have additional tax revenues for essential govern mental services and schools but would open new job op portunities, which are so bad ly needed in Oregon today. "Another challenge facing the 1963 legislature will be the presentation of the find ings of the Constitutional Re vision committee. Whatever the legislature adopts of the committee's recommendations j will be referred to the voters in 1964 for a yes or no vote by the people of the state. I can assure the voters that I would work to retain the fea tures that have made our con stitution outstanding among the states of the nation, the initiative, the referendum, and the people's right to vote on major tax proposals.

I feel we must never spend more than needed, but too, we must never do too little to meet our major problems. "I believe we must attempt to find new answers to the new problems facing us today. Our county, our state and our nation are changing, and we must be willing to meet that challenge. "I invite all to look at my record as city councilman for the last five years, to watch my decisions in the months to come and I feel that you will believe that I would bring to the office of Repre sentative an intelligent, sound, responsible voice for the people of Jackson coun ty." Charles Crary Charles Crary has been a resident of Medford and Jack son county since 1943. He was born in Geneva, 111., moved to Los Angeles in 1922, and to Salem, Ore., in 1932. He is married, the father of four children and a member of St. Mark's Episcopal church. Served in the United States Naval Reserve during World War I, is a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Elks and Medford Kiwanis. As a business representative of the Salem Building Trades Council and subsequently business manager of the Elec trical Workers Union in Med ford prior to his retirement in 1961, he has earned a rep utation for responsible action with both labor and manage ment. He has served as citizen member of the budget com mittees of Salem, Ore., under Mayor Chadwick, and of Med ford, Ore. under the late Mayor Diamond Flynn. Serves on Council Crarv served many years as member of the Oregon state Apprenticeship council, having received appointments u0 that post from three gov- ernors. He is president of the Medford Planning commis sion, has served as a member of that body for the last four years, and has taken an ac tive part in training of ap prentices In this area as chair man of the Medford Appren ticeship committee since 1944. He is a member of the Board of the Rogue Valley of representative the aware ness of problems facing Jack- n county and the State that he has shown in his work in civic activities. Crary is not seeking office as a crusader, but rather as a responsible citizen with a sincere desire to sist t h e people of Jackson county and tne stale at large in sowing the many complex problems oi government.

It appears that the Ore gon State Board of Control has created much controver sy in its function. Executive responsibilities could prob ably be dispatched more promptly under the Gover nor's authority. 5. Labor and industry. James Redden James A. Redden, 33-year-old attorney of Medford, is one of the Democratic candi dates for State Representative from Jackson county. Jim Redden, his wife and two sons live at 518 Barnes ave., Medford. The candidate moved to Medford in 1956, and has participated actively in legal, community and po litical affairs since that time. Redden has been a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, vice president of the Jackson County chapter of the American Cancer so ciety, vice president of the Jackson County Bar associa tion, and pro-tem Judge for both Medford Municipal and Jackson County District courts. Veteran ol Overseas A veteran of overseas duly in the United States Army in World War II, and an Ore gonian by choice, he took his pre-law training at Boston university college of business administration and graduated from Boston college law school in 1954. The candidate has an In tense interest in governmental affairs, and feels every citizen has a personal and undelega te duty to speak his mind on governmental affairs. As Democratic Central Committee chairman during the 1958 campaign, Redden concentrated on voter regis tration and voter education. That year the Democratic par ty came within a few votes of overtaking the registration bulge of the opposition party. Although an agrcssive chair man, Redden resigned from the chairmanship with the re spect of fair minded members of both parties. Important Session As a candidate for State Representative, Redden feels that the approaching session may well be one of the most important in the state's his tory. He feels that constitu tional revision, whereby the legislature will present a new constitution to its citizens, will be challenging and diffi cult. In addition, possible re organization of the executive department and reapportion ment of representation will warrant the conscientious at tention of all members of the legislature. Like most relative new comers to Jackson county. Redden has become one of its strongest boosters. Concerned, however, about seasonal un employment and recent loss of payrolls in Jackson county the candidate feels strongly that aggressive leadership on the city, county and state level is needed to attract and build the proper Industry in Jack son county. James Redden, who has earned a reputation in the community for honesty, ag gressiveness and fair play warrants one nj your three votes for Stale Representa tive. Redden's answers to the League of Women Voters' questionnaire: 1. Adequate. 2. No. This requires far more study than I have been able to devote to date. 3. (No answer). 4.

While it is eminently true that fine legal minds are nec essary, it is equally Important that our huge State of Oregon business be indeed placed on a businesslike basis. Al Dumas's back ground qualifies him to aid our coun ty and state in realizing a sound business economy. It would appear that In view of the difficulties we face today, relative to taxes, the desire for increased social services, education and expan sion of our economy we must indeed place our state govern ment on a business-like basis. The background and expe rience of Al Dumas properly makes him a desirable legis lative representative. Born on a farm, he knows agricultural problems; work ed as an employee of a large laundry in Portland, he knows the problems of the working man; worked his way up through the ranks to manager of this firm, he knows the problems of employee rela tionship; purchased his pres ent laundry business, Al Du mas has made it the success it is today by his experience, business ability and consider ation for the public and his employees.

John Dellenback When I first ran for the leg islature in 1960, I was led to do so in large part by a strong personal feeling that in an in creasing number of ways the lives of all of us are being in fluenced and controlled by de cisions made for us in the halls of government, primari ly in the Federal Congress and in our state legislatures. I feel strongly that each citi zen of Oregon and of Jackson county wants and should have as much individual freedom as it is feasible for him or her to have and that one of the functions of government should be to help preserve this freedom for each of us. Feeling this way, I fell that the place for me to seek to make these opinions effective was in the state legislature. Obligation to All I am a Republican, but I feel that it is the obligation of ev- (Republican) Li- SAVARD FOR SHERIFF Proven Adminftrativ X Pd. Pol. Adv. by Shtnff Comm., Gltn Chm., 951 So. $t9 ery person elected to the leg islature to represent all of the people of this county, and in no way ever to consider him self as a spokesman for any special interest or just for those who have voted for him or just for his political party. Rather he should be a repre sentative of and from and for everyone in Jackson county. During the 1961 session of the legislature, I sought to serve in this capacity. I never ceased to feel that it was a privilege and a responsibility to be one of the spokesmen for what I consider to be one of the finest counties in our state. There were some 1,400 measures that came before the legislature during the last ses sion, and on all of those which came to a vote I sought first to find out all that I could about the facts on all sides of the measure involved, then to think through from the stand point of the welfare of our people the decision which would be for their best inter est, and then to work hard to have that deciison reflected in our law. Pledges Same Approach I pledge to the people of Jackson county the same basic approach if I am reelected as one of their representatives to the state legislature. I know that we wilt have some vital decisions to make in many fields, including the fields of taxation, of educa tion, and of public welfare. It would be futile at this time to attempt to guess in exactly what form each of these issues will arise. I pledge to the voters of Jackson county that if I am re turned to the legislature I will do my best to apply my expe rience for their benefit, to work to the maximum of my ability to see that measures which are for the best long range interests of our people become part of our law and that we do not clutter up our lives and our statute books with other laws which do not meet thai test.

True economy and mini mum taxes can be assured only if every justifiable effort is exercised lo keep the cost of state government at a mini mum compatible with the services we, the people, really wish our state to supply. There can be no expansion of state services without an in crease in some form of taxing of the people. Once those ba sic needs and desires of the people have been established, we ought to make a thorough evaluation of our present tax structure and determine whether, If additional funds are needed, they should most fairly come from Increases In present forms of taxation or In modification of the basic lax structure. Most Important Basil 2. I feel that the most im portant basis of representation in the legislature should be population, but I do not feel that our present constitutional provisions relying strictly on population soundly represent all of the interests which have helped to make our state what it is and still add great strength thereto. I feel that some revision bringing in some area representation on a permanent basis would be for the best long run welfare of the state and all its people. 3. I Intend to devote as much time as possible lo a very careful review of the proposal In this field which the Interim Commission will bring to the legislature and then actively to support all proposed revisions which I feel would be for the best long-run good of the state. 4. I feel that we should con stantly be striving for such re organizations of the executive branch as will prune out un necessary bureaucracy. I have not been convinced to date, however, that a sweeping revi sion which would wipe out much of our lay participation in government through boards and commissions would be in the best interest of the state. 5. I would devote my major efforts toward the work of those committees to which I am assigned.

(Information furnished by Branchfield for State Repre sentative committee, Sam B. Harbison, chairman.) Branchfield s answers to the League of Women Voters' questionnaire: 1. The needs of the state mufi be met. Our two major sources of revenue, property taxes and income taxes, are already so high it is not 'easi ble to increase them appie ciably. A new source ol rev enue must be found, if serv ices are not to be ci.rt-iiled. Under proper safeguards, a sales tax might provide the solution, although more study of these problems is needed. 2. I approve of the present provision for reapportion ment, but I would not object to a slight increase in the size of the legislature to per mit some assurance to be giv en to sparsely populated areas that they will continue to have representation. Favor of Revision 3. Our present Constitution is unwieldy, ambiguous and contains outmoded provisions. 1 am in favor of revision to create a basic document, leav ing details of law to be speci fied in legislation which can be more easily updated as needs change. Since the Con stitutional Revision Commis sion has not completed i t s work, it is impossible to say as yet whether I will approve its finished product. 4. Yes. I favor the adoption of a cabinet system for the administration of the execu tive department. I believe re organization should come slowly, however, to prevent unnecessary interference with state services. 5. Education. Proposals for changes in substantive and procedural law.
