Duncan, paraphrasing 18th century English Stales man Edmund Burke, said Monday, When you elect an official, you elect not his vote but his judgment. Addressing the Med lord Chamber of Commerce Roundtable at its noon lunch eon, Duncan sketched some of the problems of the fourth dis trict and outlined his general approach to them. He said he has held a num ber of meetings all over the district in the last few weeks in an effort to get the views of his constituents on what they think should be accom plished in the next session of congress. "This job really begins the morning after election," Dun can said, "even though the swearing in doesn't occur un til after Jan. 1." Visits Dr. Durno , He said he recently spent a "splendid evening" with his predecessor in office. Dr. Ed win R. Durno, who advised him on the present status of a number of pending matters which affect the fourth dis trict, and offered Duncan ac cess to his files in order to preserve "continuity of office."

The budget problem in cludes Gov. Mark Hatfield's proposed $45 million bond is sue for higher education buildings during the next four years. The board had called for a $47 million capital out lay in the next two years. Board President William E. Walsh said the discussion also Covered proposed cuts in oper ational spending. He said a preliminary review of Hat field's proposed $405 million budget indicates a "critical" reduction in operational ex penditures. The Hatfield budget is a record, but the higher educa tion system is growing even faster. The board heard an archi tectural plea Monday from its building committee cnairman, J. W. Forrester Jr. He said he hoped the board would act to prevent future dormitories from looking like "so many concrete apple boxes." Board member Cheryl S. MacNaughton urged a family study center at Oregon State university. "One third of our enroll ment is made up of women, and we are still educating them for men's work," she said. "It Is time we did some thing." . The oroDosed $500,000 fa cillty would include actual living quarters for a small number of home economics majors. The building committee ap proved preliminary plans for a student health service build- Economic Incentive Some economic incentive for expanded road construc tion' in the district, Duncan said, could be supplied by the need to increase and Improve access to recreation areas. The mining industry should provide a further incentive. 'The hills and mountains the district still contain millions of dollars worth of minerals that could contribute substantially to the economy," he said. Duncan pointed to the gen eral need for diversification of industry in many counties of the district, but added that some areas have already taken steps in that direction. He cited the recent construc tion of some metallurgical plants in the vicinity of Al bany as an example. Praises Growers He praised area pear grow ers for their "aggressive" ef forts to open up overseas mar kets to counteract the surplus of pears which has depressed the market recently! He urged rye grass growers, who have had some problems lately, to explore possibilities in a sim ilar direction. "As we grow more than can be consumed here in this country," Duncan said, "we must remember that there is no surplus so long as there are 1 hungry people in the world." . He said he felt the solutions to the complex problems in the various industries In the district should originate in the industries them selves. He characterized a congressman's role as that of liaison between the people and the govern ment. , In connection with that, he urged the people of the fourth district to feel free to use his office whenever it could be of service to them. He said he is establishing a full-time of fice in Eugene, and is con sidering the1 possibility of opening another office, prob ably in Mcdford, at least on a part-time basis, so that it would not be necessary for constituents to call or write Washington every time they had a problem. In a question and answer session after his talk, Duncan reiterated his earlier position that postmaslerships should be under civil service. By and large he said he was opposed to the patronage system, though cognizant of its role in the two-parly political system. The Dunes issue is still a "live one," he said. "Lack of decision on this problem has helped to cause economic stagnation in that area," Dun can said, "and some decision must be reached soon. ' He said he feels there in increas ing support for his compro mise plan. NATURAL GAS EQUIPMENT COMPANY On Display the largest selection of gas heating equip ment in So. Ore.
