Newspaper Page TextRegional Roundup by Clevt Twilchell Mail Tribune Regional Editor A primary election is scheduled in California to morrow, and it's going to be a mighty interesting one to watch. For one thing, we will get some kind of an indica tion of how popular Dick Nixon is in his home state now adays. Before I left southern California, I heard numerous persons, Republicans included, express displeasure over Nixon's decision to run for governor. I personally would like to see him get flattened, and I am happy to see that the original field of three other Republican candidates has been narrowed down to one, Joe Shell. The anti Nixon Republicans can now unite behind him. Interesting Contests If you read EA's editorial "Tests for the Far Right" last Wednesday, you learned of two interesting contests that will shed some light on the power of the far right in California. One is the same governor's race on the Republican ballot between Nixon and Shell. Nixon is a liberal sort of Republican who came out in opposition to the John Birch society back when people were just beginning to hear about it. Shell is fi rther to the right than Nixon and will probably get the votes of the anti communist groups, of which there are many, especially In southern California. The other contest EA spoke of is the 25th Congres sional district election, where John Rousselot, one of the two Congressmen who has admitted that he is a member of the John Birch society. This race is par ticularly interesting to me, because I lived in the 25th district for several years up to the time I moved to Oregon last December, and I knew Rousselot both before and after the Birch thing came along. John is a pleasant young fellow. If you ran into him without knowing who he was you couldn l neip dux SEN. RANDOLPH COLLIER Write-In Campaign I ih V A" , 'I it (V V i S of Just the eastern half of what it used to be, because of the tremendous population boom down were since last). Rousselot faces only a political unknown named Thomas Noonan in the primaries and probably will win. If he docs, his probable Democratic opponent in Novem ber will be former state assemblyman Ronald Brooks Cameron. I'm glad I'm not down there now, because Cameron was also an aquaintnnce of mine, and it would have been a tough choice between them. I am not a Bircher or even a far rightist, but I do like Rousselot personally and like some of his Ideas. I also have ad mired Cameron's efforts to prevent organized medicine from gaining a stranglehold on the practice of healing in California. The medical doctors won't have anyone to vote for if it's Rousslot against Cameron. Rousselot Is a Christian Scientist and both men have in the past been openly opposed by groups of medical doctors. There's a third contest which will show the strength or lack of strength of the far right In California, the race for state superintendent of schools. One of the eight or nine candidates running is Dr. Max Rafferty, former superintendent of the La Canada Unified School District. While In his former post he delivered a speech called "The Passing of a Patriot" which was later widely cir culated and reprinted in Reader's Digest. He is opposed to the trend toward progressive education and favors Indoctrination of students against communism. Collier Runs Again A little closer to home, it will be interesting to see how State Senator Randolph Collier of Yreka does in his bid for a seventh four-year term. This will be the first election for Collier since cross-filing was abolished In California. Every election since he was first voted In (in 10;18) Collier has won both the Democratic and Re publican nominations for his post. This year he could , run only on the Democratic ballot, but his backers have launched a campaign to get him write-in votes on the Republican ballot, in hopes that he will again win both? nominations. County Clerk Rachael Cordes has announced that write-ins will be counted tomorrow, apparently a change of procedure. They were not counted in the 19(10 Cali fornia primaries, at least not in Los Angeles county. Wimer Residents Hear How to Form Wimer - Some fifty resi dents of the Wimer area at tended a meeting May 25 con cerning the procedures neces sary tor forming a fire de partment in this urea.

Rousselot defeated three other Republicans in the 1960 primaries and then In the November contest knocked off the Incum bent Democrat George Kasem, a nice guy who lost principally because he practiced poor public relations. Rousselot could very well,, get in again despite the Birch business. His personal popularity is fairly high, and there are quite a few far rightists in his district, or at least there were in the 25th as it was. Rcdistrifting took place in California last year and my fellow Demo crats did a nice job of re arranging. (In one case they managed to put four Republican assemblymen all in the same district!) The 25th Congressional district now is composed Fire Dept. The Board of Trustees then appointed Mrs. Bob Steven son, secretary, and Woody Owens, treasurer. Pledges and contributions were made at this meeting in order thiil a fire truck may be purchased as soon as pos sible. Every resident of this oreo was urged to support the helpers and workers of this group for protection of their I honies marie possible by the organization of a fire depart ' mcnt for the whole area. Roosters To Aim at Record Of 'Beetlebaum' (109 Crows) Rogue River Rooster entries in the annual Rogue River National Rooster Crowing con test Saturday, June 16, will be aiming at the all-time rec ord of "Beethlebaum." Beetlebaum uttered 10S crows in 30 minutes in 1953 to set the world's record, and to win the prize money and trophy. Last year's winner was "Rascal!," a brown and gold rooster owned by five-year-old Susan Hunter, Grants Pass. He made 07 crows In 30 minutes. Contest officials hope this year's event will draw close to a thousand people as tour ists slop off en route to the Century 21 World s Fair In Se attle, Wash. Prise for Cage In addition to the $250 for the best crower, another $250 is awarded for the most orig inal coop or best prepared cage housing the entrant. The roosters are not made to crow. They crow of their own volition, according tc of ficials of the annual event, "Experience has shown that a rooster crows most in his home surroundings, so it is best to cage him several days before the contest and to move him about in strange sur roundings.
