OREGON TO TEST
 NEW DEAL TODAY
Gov. Martin Is Running as Friend of Roosevelt, Not
 as New Dealer
BY BEN E. TITUS United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Portland, Ore, May 2O.-(UP)- New Deal prestige was at stake to- day in the Oregon primary, where Gov. Charles H. Martin, outspoken foe of the National Labor Relations Board and the Department of La- Dor, was opposed in his campaign for the Democratic renomirat tion by Henry L. Hess, a staunch New Deal follower.
 Although Martin campaigned as a friend of President Roosevelt" Hess had the oral support of Sec retary of Interior Harold L, Ickes, who denounced Martin as mot New Dealer" and of Senator George w. Norris of Nebraska.
 Labor Issues in Campaign
 Labor union issues also were di- rectly involved in the primary but they were scrambled. Martins cam paign against vandalism ir a lum- Der strike last winter resulted in scores of arrests. Severa, union leaders were among the prisoners. But both the Committee for h. dustrial Organization and the American Federation of Labor whose warfare caused the lumber strike, found some of Martins tac- tics commendable and some objec- tionable.
 The Elton Watkins, former Democratic congressman from Ore gon and a foe of Martin, visited the White House. Watkins mes- saged Hess that while it would not be proper to quote the President, am convinced after my visit that you are the man whom the Roose- welt Democrats of Oregon should nominate"
 Answering these statements Mar tin, retired major general, said that "1ckes has been mad at me since I was congressman; and that Watkins opposed him because I refused Watkins request to be appointed U. s. senator to succeed Senator Frederick Steiwer who re- signed"
 Labor Union Oppose Martin
 Generally, labor unions opposed Martin. Spokesmen for both the federation and the c. I. O. endorsed Hess as a result of his boasts that he had jailed more than 100 labor terrorists," who in this section are called "goons".
 Martin supported most of the New Deal program but during the states labor strife he denounced Secretary or Labor Frances Perkins as miserable" official and called the labor board "muddling, impotent' factor in labor relations. When the board refused to hold collective bargaining election among lumber workers on the grounds that it had already certified the CI.O. as bar gaining agency, Martin defied the federal board and held his own election.
 It was an unique procedure, held in the Multnomah County court house here. The C.IO. won and he then promised armed protection to lumber mill owners if they would reopen their paralyzed plants. The A. r. of L. backed Martin strongly in his labor campaign last winter, but during subsequent unsettling events, in which several of the mills reopened and took in workers with out regard to union utilization, the

Sidelights On Grand
 Jury;s Startling Report

Reporters, waiting impatiently for the issuance of the report. conferred several times during the afternoon with Judge Inglis and Alcorn. The method of distribut- ing the reports to the press was agreed on and other arrangements made.
 Newsmen, with presses waiting, were fearful lest the copies of the report not be given out until af- ter the text had been read. MT. Alcorn consented, however, to re- elase the reports the moment the jury came from their headquarters on the third floor to the superior court room.
 During one of the conferences, reporters asked MT. Alcorn If he knew the whereabouts of any of the missing witnesses. He smiled and said: Maybe you fellows can give me some information about that"
 Crowds stood outside the county court building throughout yester- day afternoon and until after court recessed last night.
 The jury report and it's startling charges seemed to be the only subject of conversation about the city last night. In homes, stores, taverns and on street corners it was being discussed.
 WATR registered a Scoop" in radio showmanship by reading virtually the entire text of the IA page report over the air. The few omissions made were necessary be- cause of the time element. In every section of the city, radios were tuned to WATR as listeners heard the text of the finding by the jurors.
 Reports were current this morn- ing that disbarment proceedings n6 IAAAoU O AAulllDCl Ol dtCO1LCyO would be instituted as result of the grand jury's report. The re- port delegated complete page to the citation of ethics of the bar association, in connection with the activities of a number of lawyers.
 The disbarment proceedings may be brought by the bar associ- ations, or by the court.
 Action in Hartford county was also expected, because of the con- nectiOn of numerous Hartford officials in the case. MT. Alcorn is also expected to move shortly for the arrest of legislators in Hart ford county, using as his informa- tion, the report of the jury. The bench warrants for such arrests must be issued in Hartford, how ever.

 Hess Won CIO Backing
 Martin charged that Hess had won the CLIO. support by criticizing Martin 'seetaois aoishrdlkftaoishrdlupupy Martins law and order war on labor racketeers. On this premis, political observers believed that Martin would lose Multnomah County. which polls about one-third of the votes.
 Hess called Martin and "anti-New Dealer" and an "anti- Roosevelt" leader and charged that the na- tional administration had repudi- ated him.
 Martins followers believed that he might have won the sympathies and the votes of many Republicans, who would desert their own party to- day at the 1881 precinct polling places.
 A third candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination. O. Henry Oleen, was conceded slight chance.
 Each party also is nominating two candidates to the U. S. Senate. For the regular Senate term, Democrats will choose between Willis Mahoney and Carl Donaugh, U. s. attorney Both pledged themselves to suppotr Mir. Roosevelt. Republican candi- dates are: Rufus c. Holman, state treasurer, and Robert N. Stanfield, former senator.
 Short Senate Term
 A short Senate term, to extend from the November election until next January, also Is being filled as result of the resignation of Sen- ator Frederick SteiWer. The seat presently is held by Senator Evans Reames, a Democrat, who was ap- pointed to serve until November. The Democrats have nominated Robert A. Miller to the short term without opposition. There are three Republican candidates: Alex G. Berry, Reade M. Ireland and T. M. Weed.
 Seven candidates sought the Re- publican nomination for governor. Charles A. Sprague, publisher of the Salem Statesman, and GeryaiS Farmer were the major ones. In the congressonal race 1t was considered unlikely that the incumbents. Nanny Wood Honeyman and Walter M. Pierce, Democrats, and James w. Mott, Republican, would fail of re- nominaton.

Virtually Nery lawyer in Wa terbury was in the courthouse yes- treday afternoon waiting for the issuance of the grand jury report. Dozens of them remained in the court room throughout the lengthy reading of the finding.
 Even while Foreman Carl Lund- gren was still reading the early pages of the report, the voices of ncwsboys calling Extra" Demo- crat in the street below could be heard in the court room. Detective Edward Hickey and Sheriff James OLeary made several starts to- ward the court room door and finally did leave the building to quiet the youngsters.
 In commenting the jury, Judge Ernest A. Inglis placed particular stress on the fact that the jury has not ended its deliberations. In thanking the jury members he said he was highly pleased with the services rendered THUS FAR"
 It was 9:45 p. m. when court was finally recessed and 1t was a worried crowd that left the court room. Even the spectators were tired after sitting through the hours spent in reading the find ing.
 One of the most interested spectators was William J. Pape, local publisher. He sat through the reading of the report, after having spent several hours in the court house in the afternoon wait ing for it to be filed.
 Attorney John F. Tobin, inde- pendet Democratic party leader, was another interested spectator at the proceedings.
 A court house visitor yesterday afternoon was Attorney William J. Hadden of New Haven, counsel for Attroney Edward G. Levy of New Haven. Levy is one of those ordered held for trial.
 Stified "Oh" and "Ahs" were heard in the court as various sem sational passages in the report were read. Attendants, however, prevented any interference with the proceedings.
