Joe Chytil; Morrill Folsom, who is challenging for a seat in the state House ol Representatives and a Smith, who also seeks a House post. Evans srrived by car from Kelso shortly after 11 a.m. and; departed by small aircraft for Everett after his 30-minute stopover in the Twin Cities. An estimated 30 persons, including the 'candidates he endorsed, attended the governor's airport press conference. In lending his support to local candidates, Evans stressed his hopes that a Republican ticket could achieve legislative goals with "a minimum of partisan infighting" in next year's session.

Plaintiff Wins Case A Lewis County Superior Court jury of four men a eight women reversed a decision of the State Department of Labor and Industries Thursday afternoon in an appeal case brought by John Z. Powers. The defendant was appealing a 25 per cent disability decision stemming from a Sept. 21, 1965, industrial accident. The jury ruled a 43 per cent disability for Powers.

Nelson C. Back, route 1, Chehalis, was jury foreman. The jury received the case for deliberation at 3:45 p.m. and returned the verdict at 4:50 p.m. Next case, to be the fifth of the 1968 autumn jury term will be Wednesday when Michael Jury, Centralia, appeals a Lewis County Court conviction last May 21.

The court found Jury guilty of failing to stop at the of the accident. was fined $230 and his driver's license suspended for 60 days. Another appeal case by Willis K. Chuinard against the City of Morton was dismissed. It was to have been heard Friday.

The court dismissed the action when the defendant withdrew "I hope," Evans declared, "that with these men we will be able to have a productive, harmonious and, most of all, short legislative session next year." The governor, asked to predict the outcome of state and national elections next Tuesday, said he was confident that Richard Nixon would obtain Imore votes than he did in 1960. "I would say," he said, "that he will win by more than 30,000 votes." Evans said in his opionion Republicans would maintain or beiter their number in the state legislature. O'Connell Smells 'Scent Of Victory' SPOKANE (AP) Atty. Gen. intend to eliminate all discre- John J.

O'Connell, making a tour of eight Washington cities, said in Spokane today could detect "the sweet scent of victory" in the gubernatorial election next Tuesday. About 75 persons greeted the Democratic opponent of Gov. Dan Evans as he arrived at Spokane International Airport after leaving Seattle. O'Connell predicted he would beat Evans by a narrow margin in the general election He also charged Evans was giving too much attention to tie affairs of Seattle and disregarding other sections of the state. The attorney general said in Seattle earlier Friday that if elected governor he would fire all of appointees in top state government positions.

"If I am elected of course, tlonary appointees--that includes Tollefson and Dr. Conte a'ong with them," O'Connel! said. The Democratic nominee for governor made the remarks at his Seattle campaign headquarters before leaving for Spokane on the first leg of a statewide air tour. He referred specifically to state fisheries director Thor Tollefson and institutions director Dr. William Conte.

O'Connell said he gets more complaints in his travels around the state about Tollefson and Crte than any other Evans' appointees. The attorney general said he believes the gubernatorial race, is "extremely close" as he prepared for a final major weekend campaign drive to unseat Evans. Nixon Playing Down President's VN Action Hubert's Prospects Brighter? DETROIT (AP) Vice President H. Humphrey avoided all direct reference today to the sensitive Vietnam bombing halt as he began an intensive day of campaigning in the Midwest. "I tell you, folks--things look better this morning," the Democratic presidential candidate told several thousand persons who packed a United Steelworkers union hall in the Detroit suburb of Southgate.

HHH Encouraged Obviously encouraged by the presidential bombing halt and 3 new national poll that shows him drawing closer to Richard NLxon, Humphrey said, "we have a tight race on our hands, but it can burst right open now." He warned the workers that 'every vote for George Wallace is a vote for reaction, a vote for prejudice. A vote for Mr. Wallace is a vole for Mr. Nixon-and if the Republicans get in you're in for trouble." Almost as if President Johnson had never ordered a pause in the bombing of North Vietnam, Humphrey was trying to create the impression of campaign politics as usual.

Addressing a nationally rally in Madison Square Garden Thursday night, the Republican presidential candidate said "I trust that this action may bring some progress" in the Paris peace talks. But this followed a Nixon statement that, "As you are robably aware tonight, the President announced another bombing halt over Vietnam." Speaking at the $200,000 rally- two hours after Johnson announced the move on nationwide elevision, the Republican nominee said: "As a presidential 'andidate--and my rice presi- running mate joins me this--neither he nor I will say anything that might destroy the crance to have peace.

Nixon's Madison Square Garden crowd booed louder than it cheered when he referred to Jihnson's announcement of a bombing halt. The same thing had happened, before the TV cameras went on when Sen.

Lindsay, now in the center of a school strike and boos were mingled with cheers when Republican Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller was introduced.

The rally marked the first ioint campaign appearance of Nixon and his running mate, Gov. Spiro T. Agnew of Maryland. Agnew, feverish and ill, spoke so softly that many'in the audience interrupted him with shouts of "buder." Agnew appealed to his listeners to "give us the opportunity, in spite of our imperfections, "to reach hi.gher for America." Other "stars" of the hour-long television broadcast included comedian Jackie Gleason, five Republican governors, actor James Stewart and Mrs. Dwight D.

Announcing his decision Thursday night, Johnson said he acted with the full support of his military chiefs and diplomatic officials, with the agreement of South Vietnam, and upon "confirmation" from North Vietnam of "the esssential understanding" of U.S. terms for his action. New Campaign Element The Johnson order injected a dramatic new element into the help his campaign. ''It helps the cause of peace," Humphrey replied. 'This is going to help people.

I don't think it has much to do with candidates as such." Later, arriving in Battle Creek, for a rally, Humphrey said. "Tonight I feel more deeply serious about the nature of this campaign than ever before, because of developments lhat have taken place that your President announced." Humphrey told newsmen he had decided himself not to take his place at the National Security Council meeting that preceded Johnson's announcement. "I am a candidate," he said.

Political observers said it could give a lift to Democratic nominee Hubert H. Humphrey's campaign, although it might have come too late to make much difference in voter opinion.

Johnson himself, obviously aware of speculation that he might time a bombing halt to help Humphrey, declared that the action was determined by responses from North Vietnam to his terms. Developments Sunday He said these began developing Sunday night and continued through Monday. A round of consultations with, of North Vietnam Feb. 7, 1965. in the government and with South Vietnam followed, and he made the final decision to order that "all air, naval, and artillery bombardment of North Vietnam cease as of 8:00 a.m., Washington time, Friday morning." Johnson warned that his arrangements with North Vietnam are not foolproof and he held open by implication the possibility the bombing would be resumed if the North Vietnamese went on the offensive.

"We could be misled--and we are prepared for such a contingency," he said. "We pray to God it does not occur."

North Vietnam withheld any official comment but its radio in ilanoi continued talking tough. Many governments around world, however, welcomed he decision announced in Washington by President Johnson Thursday night as a major step toward peace. A communique issued in Sai- 50n by Thieu indicated his government was not in accord with the halt but had become reconciled to it.

Will Watch Hanoi South Vietnam "does not oppose the cessation of bombing and will keep watching to see if North Vietnam has in reality responded to the de-escalation of the war or continues to be stubborn." Thieu reiterated in (he com- munique his contention earlier in the day that the Johnson order was "unilateral." Informants in Saigon said he was bitterly opposed to the bombing halt. The official North Vietnamese radio declared in a broadcast 12 hours after the Washington announcement that the "fight against the Americans will continue until the last one is driven from our land." It added: "Peace will come to Vietnam only when there is cot a single U.S. aggressor remaining in all our nation."
