Capitol Memo MOH Gets Excuse To Remain Neutral From Election Law By ZAN STARK United Press International Salem-OIPD-Oregon's unique primary election laws may give Gov. Mark Hatfield an excuse to re main neutral during the struggle for national lead ership of the Repub 1 i c a n party. Hat field, often mentioned as a vice presi dential possi bility, and sometimes as a presidential dark horse, ex pects to head the Oregon del egation to the Republican National Convention in San Francisco next summer. Neutrality could enhance Hatfield's dark horse position. Under Oregon law, dele gates are required to support the winner of Oregon's May 15 presidential primary elec tion. Primary Victor The law requires delegates to stick with the primary vic tor for the first two ballots. Stark Baker's garage after her hus band had beaten her. ACTOR DIES - Actor Larry Keating, veteran of stage, screen, radio and television, died at Hollywood, Calif., Good Samaritan hospital of leukemia Monday. Keating entered the hospital Friday for treatment. He had been ill for six months but contin ued working up to last week on the TV show "Mr. Ed." He was 46. until released, or until their candidate receives less than 35 per cent of the convention vote. The Oregon primary could be one of the most significant in the nation because -jll the front-running contenders may be candidates. Oregon law requires Secre tary of State Howell Appling Jr. to list the name of every leading contender on the bal lot. This includes anyone Ap pling finds is "generally ad vocated or recognized in na tional news media through out the United States." A candidate's name may also be placed on the ballot by peti tion. In Hatfield's Favor Appling, a Republican, has already started scanning eight major newspapers and five national magazines to deter mine whom is being "gen erally advocated." Hatfield, 41, has indicated he will not direct his support to any one Republican until the state's voters indicate their choice at the primary. It's a situation balanced in Hatfield's favor. The law gives Hatfield an opportunity to avoid the risk of backing the wrong man. Also, with all major candi dates faced with having to win the Oregon primary if they want to win the national nomination, Hatfield will be required by law to support the man who appears most likely to succed at San Fran cisco. Nobody expects President John F. Kennedy to have op position on the Democratic side. This is a reverse of the po litical situation in 1960 when former Vice President Richard Nixon dominated Republican thinking, and the Democrats had a wide-open power battle. In 1960 Appling listed THE DANMOORE HOTEL 1217 SW Morrison St. CORTLAND, OREGON All transient aueitl. All those who come, return. Rates not high, not low.

Nelson Rockefeller on the Re publican ballot, but Rocke feller withdrew. GOP Conference Slated On the Democratic ballot Appling listed then Sens. Ken nedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, the late Sen. Estes Kefauver, Adlai Stevenson, and Sen. Hubert Humphreys and Stuart Symington. Oregon Sen. Wayne Morse got on the bal lot by petition. Stevenson and Kefauver both filed with drawal statements. Nixon and Kennedy won the primary, and later their party nominations. Hatfield may find his neu trality role a blessing in Oc tober when the Republican Western States Conference is held at Eugene. Hatfield is scheduled to key note the conference Oct. 11. The next day Rockefeller and Arizona Sen. Barry Gold water - now apparent front runners in the Republican party power struggle - are slated to test their strength in Oregon. Both Scheduled It's doubtful that Rocke feller and Goldwater will seek each other out, as both are scheduled to speak at dif ferent times. But Hatfield can be ex pected to spend time with each, and may discover neu trality can be a useful politi cal lifesaver. With Hatfield expected to play the role of a neutral, and Appling required by law to put leading Republican hopefuls to the test of the ballot, the Oregon political stage will be focused in the national spotlight. u inw mini ii t c. mini IM.
