JOHN G. JONES I
LaGrande Man
Eyes Congress
John G. Jones, LaGrande radio
station manager, probably will
seek the Democratic nomination
for Congress from the Oregon 2nd
District.
So far there arc no aspirants
' ell Stockman, Republican from
1 Pendleton, on the Democratic tick
et, but Jones said in an interview
here yesterday he was seriously
considering going after the Con
gressional post and would nave an
announcement one way or another
in a lew days.
There are two avowed Kepuon
can candidates: Giles French,
Moro newspaper publisher and
member of the Stale Legislature,
.and Lt, Ernest-Frederick Hinklc
ol The IJalles, wno at present is
stationed In New York with the
Air Force.
Stockman, finishing his fifth
term as Oregon's 2nd district Con
gressman, has announced he would
not seek re-election.
Jones was mentioned as a pos
sible candidate on the Democratic
ticket two years ago, but at that
time personal responsibilities kept
him from running. Now, he said,
he believes he is in a position to
make the race.
Jones is 45. married and has
two sons, boih married. He has
been manager of KLBM at La
Grande for about six years and
has been a resident of Eastern
Oregon some 15 years.
Several years ago he was a high
school track coach at Bend and
later worked at KBND, the Bend
radio station, then for the Army
Engineers at Camp Abbott, near
Bend. In the latter part of World
War II he worked for a time in
Portland, then went to Bavaria
with Uie UNRRA for a year. He
Is a native of Iowa.
Jones is an able speaker and
makes a very good appearance,
but is making his debut in elec
Uve politics.
At LaGrande he is a past pres
ident of the Chamber of Commerce
Rotarv Club and of the Northeast
ern Oregon Development Associa
tion is Presbvterian and member
of the Elks and. Grange.
An interesting sidelight In Jones
possible candidacy on the Demo
cratic ticket is the fact that Mrs.
Marshall Cornett of Klamath Falls,
one of the owners of the radio sta
tion Jones manages, is Republi
can National Committeewoman
from Oregon and only this week
announced she would seek re-elec-
tinn In thnt nost.
Mrs. Cornett said that if Jones
wanted to run for Congress as a
Democrat it is certainly his privi
lege an dthat their political dif
ferences would hove no bearing on
his radio station work.

INSISTENT
Red negotiators were insistent
that the Soviet Union be the third
neutral nation nominated by the
Communists. The United Nations
Command already has approved
Poland and Czechoslovakia,
U.N. negotiators refused to in
dulge in a debate on the neutrality
ol Russia in the Korean conflict
despite repeated Red hints they
would like such an argument.
The Allies said simply that Rus
sia, as sponsor of Jled Korea and
Communist China, was "not ac
ceptable" as a neutral supervisor.
Col. Andrew Kinney said the Red
nomination of Russia was not "ac
ceptable to both sides" -as called
for in previous agreements.

He said the Communist stand "is
in direct violation of the agreement
reached between the delegates and
in violation of the instructions giv
en to the staff meetings."
(jommunist stall omcers insisted
the nomination was "fully consist
ent with the agreed principles of

and did not need Allied approval.
