Parties Prepare Campaigns
(Editor s note: If you are
o( voting age. chances are
50-50 you will cast your
vole Nov. 6 lor a governor,
senator or congressman. But
your vote also will be help
ing to shape national policy
for the next two, or even
six, years. It may add to or
detract from the luster of
some of the nation's best
known political figures.
(For those who may be
tempted to stay at home
election day. the following
dispatch analyzes the issues
and the stakes involved.)
By RAYMOND LAHR
United Press International
Washington -(ITU- Both na
tional political parties are
preparing for this year's cam
paigns like anxious salesmen
unsure that the customers are
interested in the new models.
At stake are the election of
35 governors, 39 U. S. senators
ond 435 House members. They
will be chosen Nov. 6 along
villi thousands of state and
local officials.
By far the biggest prizes are
control of the national House
of Representatives and the
governorships of five or six
pivotal states. The Republi
cans concede they have no
chance of regaining control of
the Senate this year.
Since the presidency is not
at stake, the voter turnout is
expected to be substantially
fhort of the record set in
I960. The outcome, however,
will establish a pattern for
national policies and politics
for the next two to six years.
Determining this pattern,
according to the experts, will

be an estimated 50 million
Americans. This would be 2
million more than turned out
for the 1958 off-year elections
but far short of the almost 69
million who cast ballots in the
1960 Kennedy-Nixon race.
Republican leaders frankly
concede the party's 1964 pres
idential nomination will be
worthless unless the GOP can
make gains in 1962.
For the Democrats, enlarged
congressional majorities
should mean easier going for
President Kennedy's legisla
tive program, which was
mangled this year. The Presi
dent would like to see the
Democrats gain five to 10
House seats and pick up one
or two seats in the Senate.
For the Republicans, great
er power in congress would
mean a virtual veto over Ken
nedy administration propo
sals. It would vastly strength
en the position from which
they will challenge Kennedy's
reelection in 1964. Their
prime goal is to gain 44
House seats, thereby captur
ing contrql of that chamber.
Influence Futures
The elections will Influence
the futures of such potent
figures as Vice President Lyn
don B. Johnson, former vice
president Richard M. Nixon,
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York and George Rom
ney, the compact car-maker
turned politician.
Both parties are issuing
their standard victory fore
casts. Both contend the issues
are working in their favor.
Democrats say the economy
may not be booming but it is
close enough to prosperity to
rule out any upheaval against
the party in power. They
blame Republican "obstruc
tionism" for stalling adminis
tration legislative proposals.
Kennedy personally has
given high priority to his bill
for medical care for the aged
as a 1962 campaign issue.
Working politicians class med
icare a i a major issue in some
areas. It is deemed unim
portant in others.
Say Economy Slugigsh
The Republicans argue that
the economy is sluggish and

that Kennedy has failed on a
campaign pledge to "get the
country moving." They also
attack him with charges that
he favors "irresponsible"
spending and is engaged in a
grab for power.
But when there is no con
test for the presidency, issues
tend to become more local
ized - in the 50 states and 435
congressional districts. Action
or inaction on a federal water
project may affect the vote for
a member of congress. So may
an Idaho gubernatorial candi
date's stand on legalized
gambling.
Of the 35 governorships at
stake, the Democrats now hold
21 and the Republicans 14. In
terms of national political
power, the most coveted gov
ernorships are in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michi
gan, Texas and California.
Five of these six now are
Democrat. '
The exception is New York.

Proper Planning Urged Before
Historic Restoration Starts
Mrs. Helen Duprce Bullock,
of the National Trust for His
toric Preservation, Washing
ton, D.C., last night urged
proper planning before his
toric building restoration is
started.
She spoke before approxi
mately 80 persons in the Jack
sonville Methodist church.
Her lecture, which was illus
trated by colored slides of
historic buildings, was spon
sored by the Siskiyou Pioneer
Sites Foundation.
"You should document first
and evaluate to find the true
value of the buildings plan
ned for restoration," Mrs. Bul
lock recommended. "Also, pol
iticians need to be treated as
people give a little and
take a little. But make your
pressure felt."
She told of a Tennessee
mansion in whose stables
was bred the first American
horse to win the English Der
by. The group restoring the
mansion spent $12,000 for
wallpaper before repairing
the roof. The roof leaked and
stained the wallpaper. Later,
during its research, the res
toration group learned that
the wall they papered had
horse trappings and paintings
of famous race horses hang
ing on it. They were able to
the wallpaper. They were able
recover some of the articles,
cles.
Member Organizations
Mrs. Bullock explained
that the National Trust is 16
years old and has an affilia
tion with 420 member or
ganizations. The American In
stitute of Architecture was
one of its original backers,
she noted.
There is a great misunder
standing over what the trust
can do, she pointed out. It is
not a fund giving organiza
tion, but a fund raising or
ganization. It does not insist
everything should be pre
served because it is old, she
added.
"Willamsburg, Va., start
ed with a town plan," she
said. "We find most towns
suffer because ot haphazard
planning. We only ask for a
chance to help them plan."
Information Clearing House
A pamphlet distributed to
the audience described the
National Trust for Historic
Preservation as the only non
profit nongovernmental edu
cational organization cnarter
ed by Congress to safeguard
America's heritage of historic
sites and buildings.

to protect his position as the
man to beat for the 1964 Re
publican presidential nomina
tion. He first won the office
four years ago when most of
the country was being en
gulfed by a Democratic tide.
In California, Nixon can
stay alive in politics only by
unsealing Democratic Gov.
Edmund G. Brown. Nixon has
said repeatedly that he will
not be a candidate for the 1964
nomination, although he is
viewed as a possible draftee.
If he should win, and be re
elected in 1966, he could be
a prospective contender for
the 1968 presidential nomina
tion. In Pennsylvania, the incum
bent governor, David L.
Lawrence, is limited to one
term. November rivals for his
job will be Republican Con
gressman William W. Scran
ton and Richardson Dilworth,
former Democratic mayor of
Philadelphia. If Scranton

cational programs encourage
and support individuals and
communities concerned with
their historic heritage. Five
historic properties, open to
the public, are owned and ad
ministered by the National
Trust," the pamphlet stated.
Mrs. Bullock also pointed
out that few historic build
ings can be self-supporting.
Most of them are operated
at a deficit.

Youth Cited After
Driving Off Road
A 17 -year -old Medford
youth was cited for violation
of basic rule after his car
went off the road early this
morning and crashed into a
fence and a tree while he was
being pursued by a city police
officer.
Cited was Harold Edwin
Gould, 236 North Oakdale
ave. He was not injured in the
accident, police said.
An officer gave pursuit to
the youth when he was ob
served at Barnett rd. and
Stewart ave. driving without
headlights about 12:20 a.m
The youth told officers he
did not know it was a police
car following him. He said he
thought it was some other
youths, whom he was trying
to avoid.
Gould lost control of his
car on Greenwood ave. and
struck a wire fence and a
holly tree owned by John La
ferriere, 2075 Greenwood ave.
Damage to Gould's car was
moderate, police said.
Charter Day Plans
At U of 0 Noted
Eugene - Charter Day, the
University of Oregon's annual
observance of its founding by
legislative act in 1872, will
be held Oct. 16.
A formal convocation in

applause from a second-night
Moscow audience Wednesday

the 8.000 Russians in the audi
ence ranged from "I didn't

"marvelous." The perform

Seats Nationally
tential GOP power nationally.
In Michigan, Democratic
Gov. John B. Swainson is
seeking a second two - year
term in a state where the
Democrats have won the gov
ernorship in seven consecu
tive elections. His Republican
opponent is Romney, the for
mer auto manufacturer. By
winning, Romney could move
among leading possibilities for
the 1964 GOP presidential
nomination.
Make Ambitious Attempt
In normally Dem o c r a 1 1 c
Texas, Vice President John
son's home state, the GOP is
making an ambitious attempt
to win the governorship. Its
candidate is Jack Cox, an ex
Democrat, matched against
John Connally, Kennedy's
first Navy secretary and an
ally of Johnson. A Cox vic
tory would be a serious politi
cal blow to Johnson.
In Ohio, Democratic Gov.
Michael V. DiSalle, one-time
federal price control chief, is
ington, D. C, "lifted Itself by
its own boot straps," Mrs.
Bullock related. The people
formed a group called Geor
getown, Inc. The town was
mortgaged, stock was sold
nd buildings rented.
Mrs. Bullock showed slides
of the Harral-Wheeler Man
sion, Bridgeport, Conn. This
example of Gothic Revival
architecture, designed by A.
J. Davis and built in 1846 was
eliminated in 1958 to create
a new city hall.
"After taking the battle to
Connecticut superior court,
helping to elect a Bridgeport
mayor who failed to keep his
promise to save the house, and
raising $157,000 to endow the
mansion, the Bridgeport His
torical Society was unable to
prevent its destruction," Mrs.
Bullock related.
"However, a city hall was
never constructed on the site.
The Smithsonian Institution
will incorporate significant
architectural features from the
Harral-Wheeler house in a
19th-century room exhibit."
This fight to preserve the
historic home led to passage
of an enabling act to establish
an historic preservation area.
Connecticut is the second stale
to have such an act, she said.
Mrs. Bullock showed slides
of the Woodrow Wilson House
Decatur house, built in 1818
by Commodore Stephen De
catur, Woodlawn Plantation
Mount Vernon, Va., once part
of George Washington's Mount
Vernon estate, Casa Amesli,
Monterey, Calif., and Shad-
ows-on-the-Teche, New Iberia,
La., and other historic build
ings. "A nation which has little
regard for its past has no fu
ture," she said.
Sites Foundation President
Jack Sutton pointed out that
the lecture was held in the
earliest Protestant church
built east of the Rocky moun
tains which is still standing.
A reception followed at the
home of Mrs. Ruth Walker in
Jacksonville.
Cars Damaged in
Medford Accidents
Two parked cars were dam
aged in accidents Wednesday
and Thursday, according to
city police. No citations were
issued In either accident, po
lice said.
A vehicle operated by Lu
ther Glenn Teaguc, 43, of 873
Shafer lane struck a parked
ear registered to Clem Mar
tin, Renton, Wash., about 1:45
p.m. Wednesday at Sixth and
Ivy sU.
James Allen Morket, 22,
Central Point, told police the
car he was driving struck a
parked truck registered to
Golden Grain Macaroni com
pany, Seattle, Wash., about
6:18 a.m. Thursday on River
side ave. about 90 feet north
of the Liberty st. intersection.
No injuries were reported
in either accident, police said.
Three Runaway Girls
Apprehended in City
Three teen-age girls, run
aways from San Anselmo,
Calif., were taken into cus
tody by Medford city police
officers Wednesday afternoon
and lodged in Jackson county
juvenile detention home, ac
cording to police reports.
The girls, one 14 years of
age and two aged 16, were
arrested about 3:45 p.m. at
Ninth st. and Central ave. The
trio was wanted by authorities
in San Anselmo,
V 1
in a tough reeleetion battle
against state auditor James A.
Rhodes, the Republican nomi
nee for governor.
All 435 House members will
be elected. These contests will
provide the best available
barometer of the Kennedy ad
ministartion's popularity at
the ballot box.
Reverts To 435 Seats
The House now contains 437
seats because it was enlarged
temporarily to provide seats
for Hawaii and Alaska, It re
verts to 435 next year.
The present line-up Is 262
Democrats and 174 Republi
cans, with one vacant scat
formerly held by a Democrat.
The Republicans must gain 44
seats to have a bare majority
of 218 to elect the all-power
ful speaker and put commit
tees under GOP control.
Practically speaking, Ken
nedy has not had a working
majority in the House. He has
noted at news conferences that
many conservative southern
ers often vote with the GOP
and has said that he needs in
the House more Democrats
who think like him.
Redistricting which result
ed from the 1960 census will
have some effect on the make
up of the House next year.
But it is not expected to have
much effect on the party line
up. Nine states gained seats
and 16 lost in the reappor
tionment. Major Battlegrounds
The major battlegrounds for
control of the House are the
congressional districts in
which incumbents were elect
ed in 1960 by less than 55 per
cent of the vote. After adjust
ments are made for redistrict
ing, the GOP has 55 of these
called marginal districts
and the Democrats 37.
Thirty-nine senators will be
elected in 36 states, 34 for
regular six -year terms. Five!
are seeking to fill two or
four-year vacancies created by
death or retirement.
The Senate line-up now Is
64 Democrats and 36 Republi
cans. Of the 39 seats to be
filled this year, 21 are held
by Democrats and 18 by Re
publicans.
In Safe South
Seven of the Democratic
seats are in relatively safe
southern states, although Re
publicans are talking boldly
of upsetting Sen. Olin D.
Johnston (D-S.C). The GOP
would like to gain six or
eight seats to get into position
to reach for control of the
Senate in the 1964 or 1966
elections.
GOP campaign directors re
gard these as the most vul
nerable Democrats seeking re
election: Sens. John A. Car
roll, Colo., J. J. Hickey, Wyo.,
Frank Church, Idaho, Ernest
Gruening, Alaska, Edward V.
Long, Mo., and Joseph S.
Clark, Pa.
Reps. Peter H. Domlnlck
(R-Colo.) and James E. Van
Zandt (R-Pa) are opposing
Carroll and Clark. Former
Gov. Milward L. Simpson Is
the GOP nominee against
Hickey in Wyoming,
Republicans also hope to
displace Democrats represent
ing Hawaii, where Sen, Oren
E. Long Is retiring, and Massa
chusetts, where there is a
two-year vacancy in the seat
once held by President Ken
nedy.
Democrats' Beit Chances
Democrats believe they
have their best chances of re
placing Republicans in seats
now held by retiring Sens.
Prcscott Bush, Conn., and
John Marshall Butler, Md.
Former Secretary of Health
Education and Welfare Abra
ham A. Rlbicoff is the Demo
cratic nominee against Rep.
Horace Seely-Brown in Con
necticut. Rep. Daniel B.
Brewster is the Democratic
nominee opposing former
Rep. Edward T. Miller in
Maryland.
Next among Democratic
targets are Sens. Thruston B,
Morton (R-Ky.) and Joseph II.
Bottom Jr. (R-S.D.), Len Jor
dan (R-Idaho), Wallace F. Ben
nett (R-Utah) and Thomas H.
Kuchel (R-Callf.). Democratic
nominees for those scats are
L,i. uov. wuson wyatt in Ken-1
tucKy, former food-for-peace
director George McGovcrn in
South Dakota, Rep. Grade
Pfost in Idaho and Slate Sen.
Richard Richards in Califor
nia. In Wisconsin, Gov. Gaylord
Nelson is the Democratic
nominee trying to slop Sen.
Alexander Wiley from win
ning a fifth term.
The states electing two
senators this year are New
Hampshire, Kansas and Ida
ho. Each will elect one sena
tor to a regular six-year term
and one to a four-year vacancy
created by death. The Wyo
ming contest also Involves a
four-year vacancy.
