Oregon To Be in Political Spotlight As Primary Election Time Draws Near By ZAN STARK Salem - (UPB - Oregon will be the center of national po litical attention next spring when candidates are announ ced for the state's presidenti al primary election. Under Oregon's unique elec tion law, the secretary of state has authority to place candi dates' names on the presiden tial primary ballot. The system is designed to throttle the ambitions of "fa vorite sons" and give the state's residents an opportun ity to vote on the front run ners in each party. Presidential hopefuls can pe tition to have their names on the ballot. In addition, the sec retary of state can arbitrarily add whomever he wants to the list of candidates. , It is because of this unique feature that Oregon is expect ed to become a Republican battleground next spring. Definite Law The law directs the secre tary of state "to place the names of candidates upon the ballot when he shall have de termined in his sole discretion that such candidate's candid acy is generally advocated or recognized in national news media throughout the United States. The only way a supposed candidate can duck the pri mary is to file an affidavit "stating without qualification that he is not now and does not Intend to become a can didate. , . " Oregon's secretary of state Republican Howell Appling Jr., refuses to speculate on the selection he will announce next March 6. Informed sources believe that if Appling were faced with making the decision to day he would name New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, Ari zona Sen. Barry Goldwater, Michigan Gov. George Rom ney, and Pennsylvania Gov. William Scranton on the Re publican ballot. It now appears that only President Kennedy will be on the Democratic ballot. In 1960, Appling announced he would place Rockefeller and Adlai Stevenson on the primary ballot. Both immedi ately withdrew their names. Richard Nixon's name was placed on the Republican bal lot by petition. Thret Nominated On the Democratic side, Kennedy, Sen. Wayne Morse, (D-Ore.) and Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.) were nominated by petition. In ad dition, Appling added the names of Stuart Symington and Lyndon Johnson. Oregon's primary election next year will be held May 15, well before the Reupbli can and Democratic National Conventions. While nobody expects a race on the Democratic side, the outcome of Oregon's Re publican primary balloting could prove a disaster to some hopefuls. Oregon's Gov. Mark Hal field, a Republican, has been mentioned as a vice presiden tial possibility. Appling didn't list any vice presidential candidates on the primary ballot in I960, and nobody expects him to do so this year. Ss MAR. 2 ui.ii.m ' TAURUS .APR. 3.

I should note here that in this country, each year a distres sing number of persons lose their lite by drowning. It is particu larly sad that so many o these drown i n g s could easily have been avoided. First, all chil be taught to Unfortunately, do not know how to swim; even a person just taking a boat ride should know how to swim well enough so that if thrown into the water, he will not get pan nicky and drown. Incidentally, it is signifi cant that when I read of peo ple who drowned after their boat capsized, I generally find a note to the effect that the boat had too many peo ple in it. I imagine a boat often capsizes because some one got up from his seat and tried to step to another seat. This, of course, is a foolish thing to do. Many times I read in the paper that the old ferry or excursion boat that capsized and sank with one or two hundred holiday seekers aboard had been chartered just for the day. Evidently the boat was not sea-worthy, or the crew - gathered to gether for the day - were so poorly trained that they did not work well together. Every week during the summer, one can read of a death due to a person's hav ing dived into water so shal low that he got a broken neck. People also have broken their necks by running and diving into a swimming tank that has no water in it. Ob viously, a person who is plan ning to dive should assure himself that he is not likely to run into broken glass, stones, or tree stumps. Any- Din sumy am dist. en., umsviiit. n.

I have read many a time that a young man drowned because he insisted on swimming off a beach where a lifeguard had warned him not to go. I, who in my youth in Hawaii lived so much of the time in the water that I have no fear of it, never cared to run the risk of swim ming alone. I never would swim alone far out into a lake, and espec ially one in which the water was very cold. Cramps are most likely to cripple people who are swimming in very cold water. Also, children who are using an inflated in ner tube or water toy to hold them up should be watched, because they can easily slip off it into deep water, where they can drown. What often happens to a person who unwisely swims out too far is that he becomes panicky and hysterical. Then he thrashes about and tries to wave and shout. A sensible swimmer does not get pan- icky; he treads water, or he turns over on his back and floats for a while, so that he does not exhaust himself. As we all know, many per sons are drowned while try ing to save someone else from drowning. Anyone who hopes to save a drowning man or woman should know well the art of taking hold of the fran tic person in such a way that he cannot grab him and stran gle his would-be helper as so often happens. The would be life-saver should know also how to tow a disabled person to shore. Should Save Strength . one suggestion for swim ming safely is that if a swim mer should be caught in a fast river current, he should not try to "buck" it, because it will move faster than he can swim. He should save his strength by drifting down stream while at the same time swimming diagonally to wards a shore. Nowadays on a lake when on a summer evening several motor boats are likely to be dashing about each with a water - skier in tow - swim mers must keep out of their lanes. Experts advise that if one is caught in an undertow, one should try to tread water un til the pull of the undertow has passed, and then must try to swim to the surface.

Congress Resumes Following Recess Washington-UIPI) - Congress returned today from a week long Fourth of July holiday as a Democratic leader pre dicted members would stay in session until the end of the year. House Democratic Leader Carl Albert (Okla.) said there still was "an impressive ar ray" of legislation, including civil rights and tax measures. which awaits action. He said he expected members to re main in session until they were passed. With half the year already past, most major Items still are on the agenda. Most law makers had been predicting the end of the session would come in late October or No vember. This week, floor schedules in the House and Senate again will be light. President Ken nedy's two major requests civil rights and tax cut and reforms still are being stu died by committees.
