UP!i - Oregon :. will be the center of national po iitical attention next spring when candidates are announced (or the Mate's presidential primary elec tion. Under Oregon's unique election law, the secretary of state has authority to place candidates names on the presidential pri mary ballot. The system is designed to throttle the ambitions of "favor ite sons" and give the state's residents an opportunity to vote on the front runners in each party. Presidential hopefuls can peti tion to have their names on the ballot. In addition, the secretary of state can arbitrarily add whomever he wants to the list of candidates. It Is because of this unique feature that Oregon is expected to become a Republican battle ground next spring. Definite Law The law directs the secretary of stale "loo place the names of candidates upon the ballot when he shall have determined in his sole discretion that such candi date's candidacy is generally ad vocated or recognized in nation- . al news media throughout the . United States. . ." .' The only w ay a supposed can didate can duck the primary is (o file an affidavit "stating with- now and does f,ot intend to be come a candidate. . " Oregon's ..ecretary of state. Republican HokcI! Appling Jr.. refuses to speculate on the se lection he will announce March G. Informed sources believe that if Appling were faced with mak ing the decision today he would name New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, Arizona Sen. Barry G o 1 d w a t e r. Michigan Gov. George Romney, and Pennsyl vania Gov. Wi'iam Scranton on the Republican ballot. It now appears that only Presi dent Kennedy will be on the; Democratic ba'Iot. I In 1060, Appling announced he would place Rockelcller and aj lai Stevenson on the primary bal lot. Both immediately withdrew their names. Richard Nixon's name was placed on the Republican ballot by petition. Three Nominated On the Democratic side. Ken nedy, Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., and Sen. Hubert Humphrey. D-; Minn., were nominated by peti tion. In addition. Appling added the names of Stuart Symington and Lyndon Johnson. Oregon's primary election next year will be held May la, well before the Republican and Dem ocratic National Conventions.

Most unit members want to make their home under the trees as attractive as possible, so part of the first day at camp is spent . in exterior decorating. Unique re sults are produced by using water colors to paint the stakes, strips of colored .iper to brighten the twine fences, and pine cones to outline entrance paths and door ways. When the unit site is construct ed to satisfaction, the girls en gage in a supervised activity o their choice, according to t h c test when they decide to concoct a beef and vegetable stew or some equally difficult open fire main dish. The younger girls usually stick to something easy like roast ed hot dogs, hamburgers, or baked apples. But whatever is prepared, all units have the experience of menu planning, cooking, clean-up. and learn fire safety rules and different methods of outdoor cook ing in the process. A rest period is a must aft er lunch, even though the girls ire ready to be on Die go long before the hour is up. For the remainder of the afternoon, the unit members may continue their morning activities or try some thing new. Utah School Offers Cram On Survival SALT LAKE CITY. Utah Utah's thriving "Freedom Acad- emv" ranks as one of the na tion's top cram-courses for high school boys on the threat of com munism. The program will be three years old Uns summer, u is a project in which military men teach civilians about national sur vival. The money to carry It out comes from private sources, but. the Utah National Guard handles the classes. Maj. Gen. Maxwell E. Rich, who set up the Freedom Academy program in 1961, believes the first two years have brought "excel lent" response with a minimum of criticism High school juniors from every school in the state are invited to the Academy at Camp Wil liams, the National Guard's main training site, near Salt Lake City. The instruction lasts five days in August. Life al the camp is divided be tween courses in appreciation of American ideals and traditions, the history of the rise and spread of communism, plus time out fori swimming and sports. There is no hard-core Prus sian-type military training at the academy," says Rich. The stu dents do stand a formation in the morning and evening to watch the raising and lowering of the flag, but there is no military drill. Enrollment was about 57 boys the first year and 130 the sec ond. The juniors go back to school in the fall and present reports to other students on what they learned. Rich, who is Utah's adju tant general, discounted criticism . .-"V Dispute With Nuclear Engineers Threatens Future Of World's First Atom-Powered Vessel SAVANNAH DOCKED The nuclear vessel NS Savan nah, world's first nuclear powered vessel, is shown at the dock of the Todd Shipyards in Galveston, Tex., where it faces some questions about its future.

UP1 Oregon forestry officials are anxiously wondering if the "six year jinx" has really been broken. Every six years since 193:! ex cept for 1D37 Oregon forests have heen ravaged by a scries of gigantic fires. The six-year cycle tails due again this year. And Oregon s forest lands now are potentially more dangerous than ever before because of the great Columbus Day. 1962, hurri cane. That storm swept Oregon's forest-covered coastal areas, and toppled millions of board feet of standing timber. The blowdown has become crackling dry, and could provide Kiel for a series of massive con (lagralions. State forester Dwight L. Phipps descrilics the condition as "potentially the most danger ous in the recorded history of the state." Monstrous Fire The "tinx" began about 1 p.m.. Aug. 14, 1933, when the Holfman Mountain lookout station in north western Oregon reported a fire on Gales Creek. In the two weeks that followed the flames exploded over 281,222 acres a 407 square mile area almost half the size of the state of Rhode Island. The blaze destroyed almost 12 billion board feet of timber, more than enough to build a million live-room homes. Then what foresters termed a "miracle" occurred. A dense fog blew in off the ocean. The spread of flames slowed, then halted. But the 40,000 acres blackened up to dawn of that memorable day had grown to 2111.222 acres just 20 hours later. The flames had engulfed an unbelievable 370 square mile area in just one day. Six years later it happened again. The 1939 fire blackened more than 200,000 acres in the same area, including almost 30, 000 acres of green timber. Fire Hit Again Then in 1945 flames engulfed the area again. The 182,000 acre fire blackened an additional 12, 000 acres of green timber. For esters began referring to the "six year jinx." Six years later "the jinx" struck again. Three major blazes that sum mer the Scottsburg blaze in southwest Oregon, a lire west of Roscburg, and the Detroit Lake fire cast of Salem took a 55,- 000 acre toll. The "jinx" was firmly estab lished in the minds of timber men. Everyone prepared for the forest in 1937 but there were no major fires that year. Now, six years later, foresters are wondering if the "jinx" has really been broken. It will be au tumn before the answer is known. easuremenfs Mark Work Of Amateur Handymen By MTt.

Today, memories of the launch ing cause embarrassment for some and others get fighting mad. The $82 million Savannah the world's first nuciear-powered merchant ship was financed by the federal government as a shiny symbol of U. S. ingenuity in using the atom for peace, At this moment the queen of sea-going commerce should be cruising to ports of the world. In stead, she lies silently in her Gal veston, Texas, berth, her grace-. lul bow nudged against a pier, the waves gently lapping at her gleaming white paint. This scene of r e p o s e is in sharp contrast to the reaction one cets when Ihe Savannah's name is mentioned in government and maritime circles. Defended Strongly She still is strongly defended by many as a dream ship. But others denounce her as a freak of maritime engineering. Secretary of Commerce Luther IH. Hodges is among those who have strong convictions on the subject. He claims the ship would really be the queen of the seas today if it weren't for the "de fiant attitude" of the vessel's 29 reactor engineers who are em broiled in a labor dispute. The Savannah was unable to sail in May because of the con flict. This so incensed Hodges that he cancelled the govern ment's contract with States Ma rine Line the private carrier hired by the Commerce Depart ment to operate the Savannah. The secretary now is shopping around for someone else to take over. Critics of the Savannah project claim the labor dispute was merely the culmination of a se ries of blunders that started shortly after the ship's keel was: laid. Hit By Problems It has been denounced as an engineering monstrosity which carries equipment too old fash-; loned and impractical for an atomic ship. A series of mechan ical problems that cropped up during the 30,000 miles she logged before ending up in Galveston is cited as proof of this. During one trial run, the Sa vannah's gyro stabilizer went awry, causing the vessel to roll excessively. On another occasion tlie reactor's control rod drive system began leaking hydraulic oil. While on its maiden voyage from Yorktown, Va., to Savan- nah, Ga. the ship's reactor conked out. This the critics claim was the fruit of bad planning and en- MEASURING TIP B HOLD RULE ON tDGE FOR ACCURATE MARKING ALONG A SURFACE gineenng. Government officials reply snappishly with one word: "Non sense!" "She's a fine modern ship, and she is accomplishing just what we had hoped," one official said. He said none of the mechanical problems has been serious and that the test runs were held for the very purpose of uncovering flaws. Experimental Ship This official stressed that tlie Savannah was designed as an ex- ixrimcnlal ship lo prove that a nuclear power plant could be used to propell a conventional merchant ship, largely stocked with standard equipment. "It was not supposed lo be some strange creature that came out of Ihe sky somewhere." he added bitingly is conservative; that it may take a year or more. The Savannah was launched at Camden, N.J..

She is a coiphinfUinn passenger-cargo vessel capable of carrying 60 passengers and 9,400 tsnn of freight at a speed of more than 1 20 knots. the Savannah sail The ship can operate for V2 years on a single fuel loading. It is regarded as ironic that when the big breakdown came it was a human failure rather than mechanical. When will again? Hodges said she would be in port from four to six months while a new team of engineers is being trained.

WASHINGTON I UPI I Presi dent Kennedy's request that Con gress outlaw racial discrimination in hotels, theaters, restaurants and stores raised a constitutional question that has concerned the U.S. Supreme Court for 150 years. the issue is simple: How much authority does the federal govern ment have in regulating com merce and how much should be left under state control? Answers from the Supreme Court have varied with the times and the temper of the justices. But few legal authorities dispute that there has been a tremen dous expansion of federal author ity over the national economy in the past 25 years. That is one reason Justice De partment attorneys are so confi dent the high tribunal would up hold a federal ban if they can show how race discrimination im pedes the flow of goods across state lines. Used 14th Amendment Tlie President used another con stitutional precept for his bill to halt race restrictions in public facilities the 14th Amendment. This forbids states from depriving any person of equal protection of tlie laws. But it is doubtful whether it bars discrimination by hotel or restaurant owner, for example. Yet the government feels it can demonstrate that such discrimina tion can take place only with the help of a state's police force, courts and other institutions that' consitute state action under the law. An 1883 Supreme Court deci sion in civil rights cases struck down a federal law passed in the stormy reconstruction period that attempted to forbid segregalion in hotels and restaurants via the 14!h Amendment. This decision, which still pre vails, is one reason why the government's main reliance is placed on Congress' power to reg ulate commece "among the sev eral states" in the event a simi lar law is passed this year and its constitutionality is challenged. Power Further Cut The federal government's power was whittled down further by the the manufacture of sugar was pri marily a matter for state control since it only "indirectly" affect ed interstate commerce. Tile court switched slightly, how ever, to uphold the Mann Act, forbidding transportation of prosti tutes across state lines, and the Pure Food and Drug Act. aimed at barring interstate shipment of impure or harmful products. Yet a few years later, the court knocked down federal laws to regulate child labor on grounds this was an intrusion on local authority. Limits On Wheat By 1942, the justices upheld a law that placed limits on wheat grown for on-the-farm consump tion although none of it was sold in interstate commerce. Feeding some wheat to livestock, the court said, could have an elfect on the amount of wheat that would move across state lines. Robert G. McCloskey, Harvard professor who has written a book about the court's role in Ameri can life, says: "It was evident that Congress could reach just about any com mercial subject it might want to reach and could do to that sub ject just about anything it was likely to want to do, whether for economic, humanitarian or other purposes." McCloskey said that after the New Deal revolution "the consti tutional distinction between intra state and interstate commerce was no longer a practical limit on federal power." Justice Department attorneys agree that the President's pro posed Ban on discrimination in vir tually all places open to the pub lic is far-reaching. But they are sure that if Congress passes the bill. Supreme Court approval would be a "sure thing." Teen-agers Remind Elders Of Where Sfop Needed LONDON (UPI)-Everybody is talking sex in Britain these days so teen-agers are beginning to re mind their elders of one four-let ter word they seem to have forgotten: Stop! Using the excuse that the younger generation must be pro tected from the results of its ear lier maturity, British adults have been engaging in the most unin hibited discussion of barnyard mailers in any Western country in modern times, in newspapers, on radio and television.

War On Obscenity The r e b e 1 1 i o n. so to speak, started in Newcastle Upon Tyne in the north of England with complaints by teen-agers ahout shops selling obscene literature. The leader of the vigilantes, Leo Ormiston, said that live or six other cities already have de clared their support for a nation al rally in Trafalgar Square in London in June. In Boston in Lancashire, one of these groups not only complained about suggestive literature on bookstands, but appointed a com mittee to inspect advertising pos ters outside cinemas. One of their accomplishments was to get a bookseller prosecut ed for selling obscene books im ported from the United States.
