Oregon's Presidential Vote
May Prove Important Factor
SALE'.!, Ore. 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-

Republican HokcI! Appling Jr..
refuses to speculate on the se

Informed sources believe that
if Appling were faced with mak

name New York Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller, Arizona Sen. Barry

George Romney, and Pennsyl
vania Gov. Wi'iam Scranton on
the Republican ballot.
It now appears that only Presi

Democratic ba'Iot. I
In 1060, Appling announced he
would place Rockelcller and aj

lot. Both immediately withdrew
their names.
Richard Nixon's name was

On the Democratic side. Ken

and Sen. Hubert Humphrey. D-;

Utah School
Offers Cram

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah
Utah's thriving "Freedom Acad-

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

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.

SALEM, Ore. 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.

By United Press International
Four years ago proud and iu
bilant speechmakers hailed the
dawn of atomic sea travel and
then watched the sleek nose of
the nuclear ship Savannah splash
into the Delaware River.
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-

Government officials reply
snappishly with one word: "Non

she is accomplishing just what
we had hoped," one official said.

that the test runs were held for
the very purpose of uncovering

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."
