OREGON TO ELECT
DELEGATES TODAY
f ■ - - ""
Borah and Roosevelt Un
opposed—Townsend Move
ment to Get Test.
By the Associated Press.
PORTLAND. Oreg., May 15.—Unop
posed presidential slates left congres
sional nominees and the Townsend
movement as the major issues in
Oregon’s primary election today.
A total of 478,182 persons—271,145
Republicans and 198,322 Democrats—
were eligible to vote.
Senator William E. Borah, Idaho,
and William Bennett, New York, were
alone on the Republican ballot for
President and Vice President, and
President Roosevelt and Vice President
Garner occupied similar unopposed
positions on the Democratic ticket.
Voters were privileged to write in
other names. Ballots also were being
cast for 10 national convention dele
gates from each major party.
Rules for Delegates.
Those chosen will be bound to use
their “best efforts” to obtain nomina
tion of presidential and vice presiden
tial candidates given the majority vote,
but will have the privilege of switch
ing to other candidates at the con
vention if such efforts appear fruit
less.
The polls open at 8 a.m. and close
at 8 p.m., when counting begins.
Greatest interest was evinced in two
campaigns in which incumbents were
unable to participate directly.
Senator Charles L. McNary, Repub
lican floor leader, who has been in
Washington while friends managed his
drive for renomination, is opposed by
Sam Brown, farmer and former State
Senator, and Theodore G. Nelson,
Salem, former North Dakota politician.
Brown and Nelson claim Townsend
mmnnrt.
Opposed by Townsendite.
Ralph Williams, Republican na
tional committeeman for more than
25 years and candidate for another
term, has been in Cleveland as chair
man of arrangements for the national
convention.. His opponents are Ben
Dorris and Charles Paine, a Town
sendite.
Willis Mahoney, Klamath Falls
mayor, and John A. Jeffrey, Portland
attorney, both claiming Townsend
votes, seek the Democratic nomina
tion for United States Senator.
Representative James W. Mott Is
unopposed for the Republican nomi
nation in the first district, but three
Democrats competed—State Senator
Byron G. Carney, critic of the Town
send transaction tax; State Repre
senative E. W. Kirkpatrick, opponent
of the Townsend plan, and State Sen
ator Cortis D. Stringer, who ignored
the Townsend issue.
Seek Nomination.
Congressman Walter Pierce and
State Representative Clinton P.
Haight are opponents for the Demo
cratic congressional nomination from
the second district. Roy Ritner was
the only one of the five Republican
congressional candidates from the dis
trict who opposed the Townsend plan.
Two women, Nanny Wood Honey
man and Louise Palmer Weber, sought
the Democratic nomination for Con
gress from the third (Portland) dis
trict. Both opposed the Townsend
plan, as did Walter B. Gleason. War
ren Erwin and Walter Whitbeck, the
other candidates, espoused it.
The third district Republican can
didates were Congressman William
Ekwall, Townsend opponent, and
Harry Kenin and Charles M. Thomas,
former State utilities commissioner,
Townsend supporter.

HOOK-UP PLANNED
Communications Com mission
Shifts Wave Bands to Pro
vide Frequencies.
By the Associated Press.
Moving to give law enforcement
agencies a powerful new weapon In
their fight on crime, the Communica
tions Commission yesterday shifted its
allocation of wave bands to provide
frequencies for a country-wide police
radio network.
The action followed months of ex
periments on inter-city police radio
communication and efforts in sup
port of such a plan by the Interna
tional Association of Chiefs of Police
and the associated police communica
tions officers.
Communication officials emphasized
that the decision merely cleared the
way for creation of a national setup
and that before it could actually be
placed in operation further action on
specific applications by groups of
cities or States would be necessary.
In broad outline, plans thus far
discussed call for creation of numer
ous "police communications zones”
throughout the country, in each of
which a “key station” would be located.
Experiments with intercity poUce
radio already are being carried on by
New Orleans, St. Louis, Kansas City,
Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Detroit and
Davenport.

deities for favors they will never rise
to a true love of their country.
Authorities, following the example
of Soviet Russia, it was reported, will
soon abolish wayside shrines. Incense
