HIDDEN CAMERA-Walking nonchalantly - and unwittingly
toward a hidden camera is a youthful, shotgun-toting ban
dit, pictured moments after he "withdrew" S19.000 cash
from a bank in Decatur Ga., Monday. FBI men said he
walked into the bank carrying a raincoat, from under which
he produced the shotgun. He forced female tellers to put
cash into a green bag resembling a pillowcase, then turned
to leave while a sequence camera got this picture. He's
still at large. (UPI)

its opening made timely by
current discussions over the
nuclear test ban agreement

public a better understanding
of the peaceful uses of atomic

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

mentioned as
a vice presi

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

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

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.

The attractive old brick courthouse lhat houses the Jacksonville Museum

century. The former seat of Jackson County government, dating from
1883-84, this venerable old structure was scene of many bitter court
cases, the most sensational being the trial of the D'Autromont brother,
train bandits, and the trial of alleged Ku Klux Klan membera for an
attempted lynching. To accommodate the growing number of exhibits,
the Southern Oregon Historical Society hat added buildings adjacent
to hi old courthouse-all open to the public . . . all free!

the old West, and there' no finer, more enjoyable way
