OREGON andidates St atement Editor'i note: Ai in past years, the Mail Tribune is offering space in its news columns for statements from candidates seeking office. This year because of the interest in the non-partisan Medford city elections, this offer has been extended to candidates for Medford mayor and city councilman. The fifth in the series today includes statements from candidates for county sheriff. House Elections Hold Key To Hopes for Liberal Congress Republican I ft V ,v (- I ( 1 ! f ' - i :K i TV ' t . i DeArmond Leigh "De" Leigh's campaign slo Run is "Best Qualified," and this he truly is, for we feel that Jackson county is for tunate in having a man with his qualifications offering his services for Ihe office of sher iff. "De" spent nearly eight years in the sheriff's office, from 1048 to 1954. Three years he served as a civil and criminal deputy and the last five years of that time as the chief deputy of your coun ty, so he understands and has worked all phase of the sher iff's office. Prior to this he was a mem her of the Ashland and Med ford police departments, so he lias to his credit a total of over 11 years of law enforce ment in Jackson county. Serves In Army Leigh served In the U.S. Army from 1942 to lfl4(l serv ing in G-2 or military intelli gence, where he was fortu nate enough to receive invalu alile training and schooling which has been of great value to him In both law and ad ministrative work. From 1958 lo 19R1 he own ed and operated "De" Leigh Motors in Medford. For the past year he has been acting as manager for the new own er. Leigh has been a member of the National Sheriff's asso ciation for 15 years, a mem ber of the Ashland Elks, Dis abled American Veterans, Military Order of the Purple Il'-art, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Le gion. 11c lives at list North Main St., Ashland. He is married and has three children in school. Born in 1918 at Brook ings, Ore., moved to Jackson county with his parents in 1929 and has lived here ever since. Attended grade school at Central Point, high school at Eagle Point and studied busi ness administration at the University of Oregon for two years. He has made his home in Ashland for the last 114 years. "De" will bring to the sher iff's office a successful back ground in both law and busi ness administration, these qualities will insure efficient and courteous service to you and your community. He feels that the office needs to have more training within the de partment for the deputies so that they will be more effi cient in public relations and the performance of their du ties, and that the rural areas are entitled lo and will re ceive a more efficient repre sentation from his oflicc with no additional cost lo us.

At tended schools in Omaha and Editor's note: This is the first in a series of dispatches by UPI political writers pre viewing the Nov. 6 elections. It deals with the crucial race for the House a race that largely will determine the fate of the Kennedy legislative program for the next two years. By VINCENT J. BURKE Washington - IUPIi - Presi dent Kennedy's hopes for a more liberal Congress will be riding election day on the out come of about 100 little-publicized contests for seats in the U.S. House of Representa tives. Although nationally known senatorial and gubernatorial candidates probably will th., L-rwtlliifhl Unnnorlv'e Council Bluffs, and attended , ll;,isIativu lieutenants will be Boyles college, where 1 ma-1 watching results of House jored in business administrn tion. In 1934, I enlisted in the U. S. Navy, and during World War 11 participated in many battles, including Pearl Har bor, lwo Jima, Tarawa, Sai pan, and Okinawa. I was awarded the Purple Heart with Cluster, and 11 Stars, tor major battles. From 1940 un til 19E0, when I was honor ably discharged, as chief gun ners mate, I served on re cruiting duty in Omaha, Neb., and was gunnery instructor for some 2,000 reservists. I am married, have o n c daughter, Berlclto, who is 13. My wife, Irene, has taught in the Medford school system the past 1 1 years. Active in Field For the past 12 years, I have has been: races between candidates who are relatively unknown out side their own districts. For two years the House has imposed the brake on the New Frontier's legislative propos als. With the election of a liberal-tinged Democratic Sen ate almost certain, the big question is whether the House in the new 88th Congress will be more conservative, less conservative or remain at ap proximately its present bal ance. Most of the 435 House seats at stake arc relatively "safe" for the parly now holding Ihem. Tile outcome will de pend on elections in about 100 doubtful, or swing districts. During the last two years the party lineup in the House been continuously active in the field of civil, criminal and investigation work. I ask you lo examine my record. From 1951 until 1 !)(, I served with the Medford po lice department. While wilh the department, I was in the field of civil and criminal in vestigations, traffic control and enforcement. 1 was one of i "l AX ' V... f ft BEHLE A. STEPHENS Democrats 203. Republicans 174. Ones Which Count For the White House, how ever, Ihe significant figures have been 217-212, 215-205, 202-197 and 219-190. These are the margins by which Ken nedy won four and lost one of his closest struggles on the House floor in the 87lh Cong ress. In the new Congress which convenes on Jan. 9 there will be two fewer seats. The House membership, boosted temporarily to 437 witli the granting of statehood to chief of police of Central Point Work With Youngsters 1 have had the opportunity lo work witli young people and am callable of understand ing and helping them in any aspect necessary. As my record stales, I have solved you, Ihe public, lor 12 years, and 1 hope thai my record will merit your vole for Jackson county sheriff in November. If elected lo the office of sheriff, I slate Ihe following responsibilities of the office will be fulfilled: 1. Criminal department Hawaii and Alaska, reverts to its permanent size of 435. The party in power almost always loses House seats in mid-term congressional elec tions. Not since 1934 has the President's party gained seals in such elections. The average result in mid-term elections dating back to 1912 has been a loss of 39 seats for the presi dent's party. Republican leaders publicly claim they have a good chance of winning the 44 seats they need to control the House. But their private assessment of prospective gains falls far short of that figure. Hopes for Upset Kennedy has publicly ex pressed hope of upsetting the historical trend by pickup up 5 or 10 new Democratic seats. Privately, Democratic strate gists would be happy to hold their losses to 5 seats. The significant fact is thai Republicans do not have lo win party control of the House for conservatives to gain a headlock on Kennedy's legis lative program. Macmillan To Face Test at Election London -IUPIi- Prime Minis ter Harold Macmillan's Con servative government will face a tell-tale test of its popu larity at the polls shortly after Parliament opens its new ses sion Tuesday. Six by-elections are pend ing, and at least five of them are expected lo be held in late November. The polling will give the government its first real chance to tell whether il has slopped the drift in populari ty that was evident in 12 earlier by-elections this year. On an average the Conserva tive vote in these was about. 20 per cent down on the gen eral election of 1959 Since then Macmillan has completely reformed his cabi net lo give il a more youthful, imaginative look, and has made an election issue of his policy to take Britain into the European Common Market. ORCHESTRA APPLAUDED Washington -illl'H- The Len ingrad Philarnionie Orchestra performed Sunday at Wash ington's Constitution Hall be fore 3,01)0 applauding Amer icans who did not let interna tional tension extend to cul tural relations. So enthusias tic was the audience to the nil-Russian music program that the orchestra added two encores to its scheduled pro gram, and conductor Eugen Mravinsky look six bows. . n ui: t on j nepuuutdll gam ui cj v. , . more House seats would Un : I h questionably give GOP lead ers and conservative southern Democrats the whiphand. Conceivably, a GOP gain of as few as 10 seats could signif icantly boost the power of the conservative bloc. On the other hand, should the election result in little or no net shift in the party line up, administration forces prob ably would be stronger in. the House in 1963 and 1964 than they were during the past two years. This is because the Demo crats which the South electa this year almost certainly will include more Kennedy sup porters and fewer Kennedy foes. In a few scattered pri mary elections, conservative Democratic incumbents were defeated this year by moder ate or liberal southerners. In addition, reapportionment ol House seats among states will result in some "liberalizing" of the Democratic party's southern wing in the House. Seats Re-Shuffled The House seats at stake this year have been reappor tioned to reflect relative changes in state population during the 1950's. The 11 states of the old southern Confederacy wound up with the same number of seats. But some of these in conservative-rural areas were eliminated and some new dis tricts were carved out in areas with more liberal constituen cies, including Tampa, Fla., and the Miami area. In the North as well as the South the result of reappor tionment will be to give great er voice in the Houth to city suburban voters and a smaller voice to the nation's declining farm population. California with a gain of 8 seats will elect 38 representa tives to the House, more than any state except New York with 41. Florida gained 4 seats. Seven other stales each gained one seal. Sixteen states lost scats. Big Turnover Assured The re-shuffling of seats has assured a big turnover in House membership. It caused collisions between incumbents thrown into the same dis tricts. Five were defeated in incumbent vs. incumbent bat tles in the primaries and sim ilar contests will unseat seven more on Nov. 6. A good many veterans de cided to retire rather than seek reelection in newly map pod districts. They included Reps. John Taber (R-N.Y.), dean of congressional Repub licans wilh 40 years service, and Brent Spence (D-Ky.), chairman of the House Bank ing committee, who at 87 is the oldest man In Congress. s .
