MEDFORD, OREGON Legislature Candidates Matched for November SUNDAY, MAY 20. 1962 Ballot Morse Easily Rolls Over Gilbert; Unantfer Shunts Durno Into Limb Portland -(UPD- Oregon Democrats cast a healthy vote of confidence for Sen. Wayne Morse Friday, while Republi cans chose former State Treas urer Sig Unandcr to oppose h i m, shunting Rep. Edwin Durno into political limbo. Durno had pegged his po litical future on winning the GOP nomination for the U. S. Senate. He forfeited his fourth district Congressional seat to enter the race. Unander led Durno in 28 counties. He held a comforta ble overall margin. Fourth Term Morse easily rolled over his lone primary opponent, Port land labor union member Charles Gilbert. Morse held a 4-1 lead in his bid for nomi nation for a fourth Senate term. It was the first time Morse had faced the voters since he lost to President Kennedy in the I960 Oregon presidential primary. Durno had campaigned as "the most opposite to Morse" In a field of six. Unander had campaigned as a more liberal Republican. Durno who opened his slate-wide campaign a few weeks ago showed his great est strength in his own fourth district. Livingston Third An Oregon State university speech professor, Dr. Harold Livingston, ran third in the GOP field.

Durno, a Mcdford doctor for decades, was In San Fran cisco, and did not say what he planned to do after com pleting his current term in Congress. Morse, who bolted the Re publican party in 1052 and first ran as a Democrat in 1956, said, "I deeply appre ciate the vote of confidence and support which the many voters in the Democratic par ty gave me." He said he will run on his record "of 18 years of service to the people of Oregon." Lists Occupation Unandcr served as a feder al maritime commissioner dur ing the final year and a half of the Eisenhower adminis tration. He lists his occupa tion as real estate and Invest ments. Durno said in a statement Hartman to Oppose Green for Congress Portland - (UPD - Druggist Stanley Hartman won the Re publican nomination today to oppose Rep.

Tax Base Defeated; Proposal Approved Portland - (UPD - Oregon voters sent down a tax base measure on the statewide bal lot to whopping defeat Frt day, then surprised them' selves by deciding to let the Legislature set its own salary. Measure No. 1,- the tax base proposal, was junked by a wide margin. It would have: 1. given local taxing districts a means of preventing a loss of their tax base 2. permitted the first levy by a new tax district to be made without an election, and 3. allowed districts leeway In deciding when a new tax proposal should go before the voters. Supporters of the plan which would have amended the 6 per cent limitation in the Oregon Constitution, said it was needed for order ly government. Opponents said it would raise taxes enough to scare any voter. The third phase only of the plan will appear on the No vember ballot, under ar rangements made by the 1961 Legislature. Approval of Measure No. 2 legislative pay was a big victory for Oregon's un derpaid legislators, who get $600 a year. Nearly complete returns gave the measure an Fluoridation Loses In Two Store Cities By United Press International Water fluordation appeared to have lost In two Oregon cities Friday, Seventeen of 20 precincts In Milwaukie showed it losing 1,424 to 1,179. Five precincts in Prineville showed it go ing down to defeat 462 to 287. INSECTICIOI - " - ."" m.-..'.v.n vP, "My wife and I will return Sunday to Washington, D. C ," Durno said, "where I will do my best to serve the people of Oregon well during the remainder of my term in Congress." Measure Salary OK by about 47,000 votes. The proposal removed from the Constitution the $600 a year limit. The first opportunity the Legislature will have to ex ercise its new prerogative will be next year. Acreage Controls On Sugar Beet Growers Unlikely Washington - (UPD - Agri culture Secretary Orville L. Freeman indicates that he probably won't have to im pose acreage controls on su gar beet producers next year. This forecast depends, how ever, on passage of the ad ministration's new sugar bill. Freeman appeared before the House Agriculture com mittee to testify on the sugar bill. The measure provides an increase in marketing quotas for domestic producing areas. There have been no acre age controls on sugar beet production since 1960. Indus try leaders had been warn ing that controls might be needed again in 1963. But Freeman said that if the new sugar bill passes "it is ques tionable whether acreage re strictions would be needed in 1063." Possible in Future Beyond 1963, however, Freeman conceded it may be necessary to restore controls on beet acreage, partly be cause per - acre yields are rising. But the secretary said that if controls are necessary, the acreage for established beet growers probably won't be cut below the 1961 level. In 1961, farmers planted 1, 128,000 acres of beets. USDA's preliminary estimate for this year shows an in crease of 55,000 acres. In addition to holding the line on acreage for establish ed growers, the administra tion bill would open the door to some new sugar beet pro ducers. Marketing Quota The bill provides that if acreage is controlled, a mar keting quota of 50,000 tons each year would be reserved for new producers. This would be enough to allow the opening of one new beet factory in each of the five years covered by the propos ed new sugor bill. Freeman also testified that It may be necessary to re strict cane sugar production in Louisiana and Florida next year, even with the increase quotas provided in the admin istration bill. But Freeman said it's not likely that he will have to reduce acreage below this year's total of about 445,000 acres. Oregon Petitions For Wheat Rate Salcm-IOT-Oregon has Med petition with the Interstate Commerce Commission for mally supporting a May 26 cut in rail rates to effect ex port hard winter wheat mov ing west from Colorado, Kan sas, Nebraska and Kansas City, Mo. .loncl C. Hill, state public utility commissioner, said the rale redurtion will drop the present rates of R2 cents and 99' j rents to 7(1 and 82 rents respectively, depending upon which of the four points of origin are involved Hard winter wheat is bread wheat. The affected shipments are those moving to Pacific Coast ports tor transshipment to the Oricm. Various railroads, led by Union Pacific, petitioned for the rate decrease and this was supiHirted by Gov, Mark Hatfield and governors of other Pacific stales.

Thornton, al ready outspoken foes, handily won their parties' nominations for governor Friday. They wasted no time in opening Most Incumbent Legislators Win Renomination Bids Portland -1UPD- Incumbent senators and representatives bidding for reelection in the Oregon Legislature came on strong in Friday's primary. Most apparently were renom inated. One exception was in the 28th representative district in eastern Oregon where Rep. Frank M. Weatherford (D Olex) lost to Jack h. Smith, Condon. The district, one of the new ones formed by the 1961 reapportionment, is com posed of Gilliam, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla and Whee ler counties. In the hot Republican state Senate race in the new Benton-Polk district, Walter Leth, Salem, won over Francis W. Ziegler, Corvallis. Both are senators now, but one of them had to step down because re apportionment merged their separate Benton and Polk dis tricts into one. Unofficial Returns Of Jackson County Following is a complete rundown 'on how Jackson county voters cast their bal lots in the primary election Friday. The returns are final and complete, but are unofficial tabulations made from the precinct returns. Official re sults will have to await the canvass conducted by the elections department of the county clerk's office, which usually takes between one and two weeks.

Eugene Ferguson won nom ination Friday as the Repub lican candidate for Multno mah county sheriff. Donald Clark, 29, held the lead in the crowded Demo cratic race. State Rep. George Van Hoomissen won nomination for district attorney on the Democratic ticket. J. Ray mond Carksdon was unop posed on the Republican side. Two other lawmakers. State Rep. Mel Gordon, Republi can, and State Sen. William Grcnfell, Democrat, won nom ination for Multnomah county commission. David Ecclcs led other Republicans and Jack Bain led all Democrats. Two will be elected. James J. Lonergan led Richard Burke for circuit judge. City commissioners Mark Grayson and Ormand R. Bean were far ahead. 58 Measles Cases Reported in County Measles topped the list of communicable diseases re ported to the Jackson county health department last week, according to Dr. A. Erin Merkel, public health physi-; cian. Ashland reported 31 cases of measles. Sledford had 9, and Phoenix 18.

Walter Pear son of Portland by a sur prising 3-1 margin, coupled his victory statement with a sting ing attack on Hatfield. In November, Leth faces Democrat Emmet T. Rogers, Salem, who had no primary opposition. Leth won by hold ing his own in Ziegler's Ben ton territory while mowing Ziegler down in Polk county Leth's stomping ground. Complete returns in the two counties combined gave It to Leth 5,707 to 3,599. The Republicans hope they have nominated enough strong candidates so that in Novem ber they can jerk control of the Oregon House away from the Democrats, who hold a weak 31-29 edge now. Demo crats say they expect to in crease their hold on the House. GOP control of the State Senate is out of the question on a statistical basis. Demo crats control now, and there aren't enough Democratic seats up this year that could be grabbed. trict Fisher 8,799 For Governor Altvater 1,548; Hatfield 8.930.

A patrard will do He at once challenged Hat field to debat "without his expensive retinue of college cronies." Face to Face Hatfield, who easily defeat ed his single primary oppo nent, Portland engineer George Altvater, by a hefty 51 margin, replied, "I shall be happy to meet my oppo nent face to face along the campaign trail." Thornton accused Hatfield of costly out-of-state trips in pursuit of the Republican vice presidential nomination. He also said Hatfield failed to keep first term campaign promises of economy in gov ernment and tax reduction. Match Record Hatfield retorted he would match his own record with Thornton's "philosophy which can only mean higher taxes . . . ridicule of industrial de velopment . . . costly investi gations, overrulings, and de stroying of reputations of com munities and individuals." Thornton's strong defeat of Pearson came in spite of last minute endorsement of Pear son by Democratic Rep. Edith Green. Portland area voters demonstrated Mrs. G r e e n's own popularity, but spurnpd her recommendation of Pear son, giving Thornton a 2-1 lead in Pearson's own Port land stronghold. Butted Heads Thornton had the backing of Oregon party leaders, while Pearson, a conservative, had butted heads often with the party. i AT W00DBURN ti nat?iw Dans B i i f il I mem active retirement on a modest income!
