Nov. 8, Election Day, could affect
the fortunes of Oregon's Gov.

policies in Viet Nam constitute
the main theater of battle be-
tween Duncan and the governor..
Critical
Hatfield is deeply critical of
both the military and diplomatic
polices. He has been saying so
for more than a year.
Duncan unreservedly supports
the administration in its conduct
of the war.
A 'visible improvement in the
outlook for a settlement might
work to Duncan's advantage if
voters should regard it as vindi-
cating President Johnson's poli-
cies. Vice versa, if prospects for
a solution remain unchanged, or
worsen, a majority might con- the Viet Cong at the conference "There are no clear-cut state is-

However, the Oregonian said,
"Gov. Hatfield's is the responsible

the irresponsible rant and cant

more vehement critic of John-

field is.
Last year, at the governor's
conference in Minneapolis, Hat-
field declined to agree with a
proposal to give the administra-
tion a blanket endorsement on
Viet Nam. More recently in Los
Angeles, he was the lone dissenter
in a 49-to-1 vote on a similar
proposal.

Weltner Withdraws:
'Refuses To Endorse
Maddox as Candidate
ATLANTA ()-Rep. Charles L.
Weltner, in a startling move, with-
drew yesterday as the Democratic
nominee for a thirdhcongressional
term rather than vote for Lester
G. Maddox, arch segregationist
who won the party nomination for
governor.
"I will give up my office before
I give up my principles," said
Weltner. He said he could not keep
a pledge required of Democratic
candidates to vote for party nomi-
nees in the general election.
Hate
"I cannnot compromise with
hate," he said. "I cannot vote for
Lester Maddox."
Weltner's bombshell, dropped at
a news conference in his office,
left it up to the Fulton County
(Atlanta) Democratic executive
committee to choose a nominee.
Republican State Sen. Fletcher
Thompson is running for the con-
gi'essional seat.
A Negro senator, Leroy R. John-
son, said immediately he would
like to get the nomination. John-
son, who four years ago became
the first Negro legislator in Geor-
gia in half a century, said he was
a loyal Democrat but not a Mad-
dox supporter.
Loyalty Oath
Weltner, reading from a brief
prepared statement noted that he
had said last Friday he could not
violate the party loyalty oath.
"Today, the one man in our
state who exists as the very sym-
bol of violence and oppression is
the Democratic nominee for the
highest office in Georgia," Weltner
said.
"His entire public career is di-
rectly contrary to my deepest con-
victions and beliefs. And while I
cannot violate my oath, neither
can I violate my principles.
Therefore, I am withdrawing as
the Democratic nominee for the
House of Representatives."

NEW YORK (A) - The stock
market was battered yesterday in
a trading session which sent the
closing Dow Jones industrial av-
erage to its lowest point since late
1963.
The average fell 16.26 points to
757.96, the lowest closing since
Dec. 24, 1963, when it read 756.86.
The drop was the largest decline
in the average since July 25 when
it dropped 16.32.
Volume was 6.5 million shares
compared with 6.19 million Friday.
The market rose at the start but
losses soon set in and spread
across the board. Glamor stocks
were hard hit.
"Nothing can point todaysingle
factor which caused today's ac-
tionr' said Monte Gordon, analyst
with Bache & Co. "It is, however,
completely consistent in the con-
text of the uncertainty created by
Viet Nam."'
The Associated Press 60-stock
average declined 4.9 points to
274.7. Standard & Poor's 500-stock
index, which represents 85 per
cent of the dollar value of all
stocks listed on the New York
Stock Exchange, closed off 1.66
at 74.90.
