"It was the only solution," Mrs. Suzanne Coipel Van De Put, 25, said in her admis sion before an overflowing courtroom that she killed her one-week-old armless daugh ter.

She said she and her hus band, Jean - Noel, 35, were married March 11, 1961, and had not planned on having a baby so early in their mar riage.

Rscdsr 41 Eastwood Dr., Mcdford Portland - WPD - Candidates got in their final pitches today for a general election which has not created as much heat as past Oregon campaigns de spite some key contests and issues. Oregonians Tuesday will pick a U.S. senator, a gover nor, four congressmen, a labor commissioner, a new State House of Representative sev eral state senators and decide on nine statewide ballot meas ures. They also will decide a number of interesting local is sues such as water fluorida tion in Portland, a merger of North Bend and Coos Bay and nearby areas, and whether to end prohibition in Newberg. The state's chief election of ficer, Secretary of state Howell Appling, forecast no more than 70 per cent of the 883,600 registered voters would turn out. The Democrats have a 78,- 210 margin over Republicans with 473,561 to 305,351. There are 14,778 others registered. Mori Against Unander Wayne Morse, the 62-year-old senior senator, Is seeking his fourth term and his second as a Democrat. Morse, who de feated the late Douglas McKay in 1056, Is up against 40-year-old Slg Unander, former state treasurer and U.S. maritime commissioner. Gov. Mark Hatfield seeks his second term. The 40-year-old Republican is opposed by Robert Y. Thornton, 52-year-old state attorney general, and Robert Wamplcr, an independ ent. In the congressional races Republican Rep. Walter Nor blad Is after his ninth term, Democratic Rep. Edith Green is after her fifth and Demo cratic Rep. Al Ullman his fourth. Norblad is opposed in the first district by Blaine Whip ple, 32-year-old former Demo cratic state executive secre tary. Mrs. Green's third dist rict GOP rival is Stanley Hartman, a Portland druggist, while Ullman is opposed by Bob Chandler, Bend publisher, in Eastern Oregon's second district. A key congressional race is in the fourth district, where Rep. Edwin R. Durno gave up his House seat to campaign unsuccessfully for the Repub lican senatorial nomination. Democrats hope to recapture this seat with House Speaker Robert Duncan of Med ford while the Republicans have pinned their hopes on Carl Fisher, young Eugene broad cast executive. Incumbent Labor Commis sioner Norman Nilsen is op posed in his bid for a third term by Republican Pat Blair. Three of the nine ballot measures have attracted the most attention. One would make summer daylight time uniform In Oregon, another would apportion seats in the Oregon House on area as well as population and the other would repeal the 1957 school district reorganization law. A measure to make steelhead a game fish was ruled off the ballot. Republicans are hopeful of regaining control of the Ore gon House, where the Demo crats had a 31-29 edge in 1961. Democrats have a 20-10 State Senate edge with less than half the seats up for election. Morse and Unander made their only joint appearance of the campaign on television in Portland Sunday with Cuba dominating the debate. Unan der reiterated his position that Morse has been soft on Cuba and said "it is difficult to find out Sen. Morse's position on Cuba from time to time." Morse said his position has been "consistent with interna tional law." He said the turn ing point came when Cuba crossed the line from defense to aggression and an earlier blockade would have amount ed to "outlawry." oreign Briefs RED CHINESE WHIPS UP SUPPORT FOR CASTRO Tokyo-WPH-Communist China whipped up mass demon siratlons for Cuban Premier Fidel Caitro and urged him lo- day not io accept a Soviet-American agreement for UN in spection of the withdrawal of Soviet missilei.

Thornton, Demo cratic candidate for governor, charged in a talk here Sun day that "The Hatfield ad ministration has placed Ore gon in a serious financial plight by using up the entire $32 million surplus the state had on hand only two years ago." Thornton told a rally that "As a result of using up the $32 million surplus, it is vir tually certain that Oregon tax payers will have to shoulder new state taxes after next Tuesday's election." The attorney general also charged that bureaus and de partments were "sitting on" information that he said may be harmful to Gov. Mark Hat field's chances for reelection, such as the effect of the tax cuts under a 1961 law on all Eastern Oregon timbered counties. Uproar Said Raised "When the State Tax Com mission released figures only a few days ago that big tim ber interests in Western Ore gon were getting 20 per cent tax cuts under another Hat-field-approved law, it caused such an uproar that to date, with taxes due Nov. 15, they have not released figures showing the impact of the companion law on Eastern Oregon counties," he said. In Mt. Angel Saturday night Thornton said he advocated repeal or drastic change in the timbe. tax "relief" laws. Piadged To Veto He also said he was pledged to veto any bills attempting to override the people's veto on any question "while my opponent has signed 3 stich bills;" that he favored low cost power for new jobs and payrolls and opposed some $6.4 million in yearly rate increases granted priv ate utilities; that he opposed centralized state government with the governor as the only elected state official; that he supported President Ken nedy's program for medicare under Social Security; that he was campaigning in order to serve the people as full-time governor "and not as a step ping stone to national political office," and that he would emphasize development of bet ter markets for existing Ore gon products along with bringing in new industry.
