CORPUS CHRISTI TIMES, Oct. 19, 1970 5-D Slump in Construction Issue in Oregon EDITOR'S NOTE: The fol- lowing article, first of a series five on House races in the key issue is a major problem, examines effect of the economic "slump in Oregon's 4th Confessional By EDMOND Le BRETON EUGENE, Ore. Iff) The Slgreen of the towering Douglas fir is as brilliant as ever, dei. spite a dry summer, but the sounds of timbering are but a echo of better times. Oregon's 4th Congressional where stands one- of the uncut commercial softwood in the entire United States, is hard hit by the long national slump in housing construction.

Mill closings and layoffs bring into the congressional race the national issue of an economy in which unemployment and inflation coexist atic 1 high interest rates inhibit expansion especially expansion of housing. If they don't agree on anything else and they don't -the candidates Republican incumbent John Dellenback and Democratic challenger James Weaver are as one in describing the economy, especially as it effects building, as the prime issue. "The tree is paramount to the economy of "this area," Dellenback told a visiting newsman. "Lumber is our industry," said "Period." Whether the voters see the issue the same way is harder to pin down. Weaver is running as much against President Nixon's economic policies as he is against Dellenback, a self-described a Republican who likes to emphasize his independence.

"The leadership has not always been happy with me," says Dellenback, who voted to override Nixon's veto of an above-budget education appropriation, but voted to a i the administration veto of another money bill, arguing that it alloted too much for space exoloration. Dellenback acknowledges that "housing starts have been atrocious" and that unemployment is painful. But he argues that the worst is over and signs now point upward, citing a modest pickup in housing, a trend to lower interest rates -still to trickle down to the mass housing market and some reduction in unemployment. Official statistics on unemployment in the 4th District have improved, though they remain above the national average. Joblessness has reached as high as 16 per cent in Grants Pass.

But -a nonpolitical observer questioned whether the improvement is visible enough to be effective. "If there has been any rehiring of laidoff mill workers," he said, "it certainly hasn't made the headlines." He questioned whether the slow improvement in the economy if indeed there is one in the face of a high national unemployment figure will surface before the election. Dellenback does not rely on optimism alone. He says that since the area's problems have been aggravated by government efforts to control inflation, the district is entitled to special help, such as a pub- Deaths and Funerals Raymond Eugene Barlow Funeral services will be at 4 Mrs. Nelson A.

High interest rates, he contends, are the key reason for housing troubles, and inflation is the most visible economic woe "Lots of people are making less, in effective terms, than they did when they were younger." In what he describes as essentially a blue-collar district, Weaver says he should win if the electorate can be made to understand the connection between Nixon administration policies and the economy. But the mood of those most affected by the economic slump seems to baffle the politicians as much as it does an outside observer.

In this district, where "the great spaces" is not an empty phrase, the unemployed are hard to find. They are off with relatives, Oregonians say, or in cabins down the country roads that lead into woods where a man can still shoot meat for his table. Weaver toured the International Paper Co. Long Bell mill at Veneta to talk with workers at their lunch break. They knew of layoffs, but none seemed especially i that he might be next.

Some complained about think of the when that tax bill comes." Some young married men decried the cost of groceries. There was one issue they wanted to talk about--gun control. One gave Dellenback the thumbs-down gesture on that. Dellenback voted two years ago for a crime bill that contained some restrictions on sale of hand guns. He subsequently sponsored legislation to ease the impact of restrictive legislation on hunting, but the issue remains and Weaver emphasizes his opposition to any gun-control legislation.

Edward N. Fadeley, a Democratic state legislator and attorney, tried to explain the emotional impact of the issue: "Everybody here hunts deer. In other places you may see pickup trucks fitted for carrying fishing gear or something else. Here they have gun racks Guns are part of living here Gun regulation in people's mind's isn't tied to crime--it seems to be a bureaucratic regulation with no purpose." A young mill worker put It more succinctly: "I don't want to go through a lot of Mickey Mouse stuff to buy a box of In Eugene, where the economy is underpinned by the large stable payroll of the University of Oregon, the annual county fair broke attendance records and the mood was far from one of depression. A middle-aged fair-goer said he is a registered Democrat, but will vote for Delienback-- "he's been a good congressman." A radio station's straw poll at the fair showed Dellenback well ahead, but a Democrat discounted it.

"The unemployed don't have the buck to get in," he said, "and working people don't have time to go to the fair during the day." INDEX 10. Announcements 30. Call an Expert 40. Hfllp Wanted 60. Situation Wonted 70.
