Connally For Governorship of By PATRICK CONWAY Dallas - lUPli - John Con nally, President Kennedy's first secretary of the Navy, is running hard and scared for the governorship of Texas. One look at the political polls tells Democrat Connal ly he has a two year lease on the governor's mansion in Austin. But a closer look at the voters tells him he still may be living in his home town at Fort Worth after the votes are counted. Much depends on what Connally does between now and the Nov. 6 general elec tion. One big mistake and a Dem ocrat - turned - Republican named Jack Cox could be Texas' first GOP governor since Reconstruction. It is a battle of personalities. A Smooth Talker Connally is gray, hand some, and a smooth talker. Cox is wiry, determined and a smooth talker. Talk may be the deciding factor. Tcxans were exposed to the Kennedy - Nixon de bate, and they liked the show. Since then television stations have been after Con nally and Cox to debate. Cox says "yes," Connally "no." Connally is one of Vice President Lyndon B. John son's closest confidantes. Cox is using this against him. Cox is the former executive di rector of the conservative group "Freedom in action." Connally uses this as a po litical weapon. The GOP, maneuvering for the liberal Texas vole by pro moting the two-party system, keeps whacking Johnson. They have distributed an au tomobile bumper sticker which reads "Scratch Lyn don's boy John," with the capital letters 'LBJ" in glow ing print. Interne City Organiier Connally, an attorney for the late wheeler-dealer Sid Richardson and a former oil and gas lobbyist in Washing ton, maintains he is indepen dent from Vice President Johnson. But his campaign style is patterned after the vice pres ident's he is a hand-shaker, a "howriy-do-er" in the coun try clubs, and Bn intense or ganizer in Ihe cities. Cox looks just like he crawled off an oil well drill ing rig, which is his busi Pure Pork frrS feig Honey Bran Muffins -AQ Said Runni ness. He has won awards for his speeches about American heritage. He likes to pick up a guitar and strum a Western tune. This tactic has been known to win election in Texas. Elsewhere in the South west: Oklahoma: Republicans arc making a determined bid in Oklahoma, the Democratic stronghold of Sen. Robert Kerr, to elect Henry Bellmon as governor. It would be an upset victory for the 41-ycar-old farmer from Billings. The Democratic choice, and favorite at this time, is W. P. (Bill) Atkinson, 55, a build er and housing developer who had to fight down to the wire to beat former Gov. Raymond Gary. The vote was so close a re count was necessary in the primary balloting. Gary refused to campaign for Atkinson after the re count, but said he supports the Democratic ticket. Their quarrel was over a sales tax a levy Atkinson proposes to increase from two to three cents. An independent, L. Richard Zavits of Tulsa, also is on the ballot for governor. A. S. (Mike) Monroncy, in cumbent junior senator, faces 40-year-old Republican B. Hayden Crawford of Tulsa and Paul V. Beck, 71, a Tulsa independent. There are contests for only four of the six congressional scats. No Republican filed against either Rep.

Wayne Morse with winning a lion's share of public works money for Ore gon. Douglas said Oregon got some $72 million this year -about $45 per person - com pared to a national average of about $7.50 per person. "You can't say somebody is doing nothing when he does things like that," he said. Douglas spoke on a cam paign swing through Oregon on behalf of Morse.

New Mexico: The "Land of Enchantment" is a ques tion mark as far as the No vember gubernatorial elec tion is concerned. It is a battle between two former FBI agents in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 1i to 1, but where Gov. Edwin Mechem, a Republican, has served four consecutive terms and is fighting for a fifth. The major issue is the state's deficit. Mechem urges a lax increase. The Demo crats oppose it. Mechem won with a big smile and a "just call me big Ed" approach. His opponent is Jack Camp bell, who appears to have voter appeal. Like Mechem he is a former FBI agent Further, he was a comhat Marine in the Pacific, for mer stale House speaker and has proved to be an effective campaigner. Arkansas: Gov. Orval E. Faubus, toned down and more moderate since his battle with the federal government over school integration in 1957, swamped the DcmocraU ic field to win the nomina tion without a runoff and is all but assured of an unprece dented fifth term. Willis Ricketts, Fayeltc ville Republican, is his op ponent, but is given little or no chance to unseal Fau bus. Veteran Democratic Sen. J. William Fulbright was an overwhelming favorite to beat Dr. Kenneth Goss Jones, 43, a Little Rock Conservative Republican, in a senatorial contest. Louisiana: Sen. Russell Long, son of Huey (The King fish) and nephew of Earl, ap pears to face little trouble in his race for a third term and another member of the Long clan has appeared on the scene. Russell's cousin Gillis Long is making a bid for a seat in Congress and odds are that he will win. Rep. Otto Passman, the con gressman who prides himself in ax-work on foreign aid programs, has no opposition. Rep.

Clarence Barton (D - Coquiile) after higher education officials in dicated that as of now, esti mates place the cost of the new campus over a four-year period at $6,225,000. Dr. Roy E.

If it is a limitation, he add ed, there could be some "r.-.th-ed serious consequences" for CONFERENCE SLATED Washington - OIPP - Presi dent Kennedy and West Ger man Chancellor Konrad Adenauer will confer here early next month in an effort to close ranks in the face of an anticipated new Berlin crisis. lb. 39c M 4Sc 39c 39c OREGON A Af.f ,i- V 1 F ' the campus buildings to be constructed. Costs are run ning higher on a number of buildings, he said. At the same time, the boari approved preliminary plans for two projects for the new OTI campus a physical plant building, and an instruc tional shop building. Barton said if the campus is going to cost more than S6 million, then it is up to the 1963 legislature to appropri ate the money. Present plans call for the ?ew campus to open in the fall of 1964. Senate President H a e r y Boivin (D - Klamath Falls), board chairman, suggested that Lieuallcn and his staff icevaluate plans for remain ing OTI buildings to see if any savings can be made.

Mrs. Judd, convicted of murder for the 1931 slaying of her two roommates, apparent ly walked out of the hospital through an unlocked door in her seventh escape attempt since being committed tp the institution in 1932. She was originally sentenc ed to hang for the murder of Hedwig Samuelson and Ann Leroi, whose bodies she shipped to Los Angeles in a trunk, but was ruled insane 72 hours before her execution and committed to the hospital.

One model appeared in a creation that appeared to have been created by cross pollinating an Army pup tent with the Dalai Lama's nightshirt. "What is that you have on. my child?" I asked when she swished around to my vicinity. "It's a housecoat, sir," she said. "Does the furniture come with it?" I inquired. She instantly evaporated and reappeared at the other end of the room. Later on, I asked Miss Da she what had inspired the creation. "Eeet eecs for relaxation," said Miss Dache, whose French accent survived a stint as a salesgirl at Macy's. "Eeet eees for a woman to be herself in." There certainly was plenty of room for a woman to be herself in. In fact, she could be three other people and still not be crowded. A rather squally built lady who accompanied me to the opening complained that Miss Dache's creations seemed to favor tall women.
