PORTLAND, Greg, Nov. 5 (R.
|--Oregon,s sixs electoral votes have
Egone to Gen. Eisenhower and the
States four-man delegation to the
House will be Republican.
That became apparent early last
night as results efrom Oregon's
2.269 precincts rolled in. The
general carried every county in
the State-even Multnomah port
land) where the majority of voters
are registered as Democrats.
Early today Oregon had given
Gen. Eisenhower 1872, 800 votes to
67,013 for Gov. Stevenson. The
results were from 1876 precincts.
Three members of the Oregon
congressional delegation were re-
elected. They are Representatives
Walter Norblad, Homer D. Angel
and Harris Ellsworth. State Sena-
tor Sam Coon. a Republican seek
ing Office in the Eastern Oregon
district. was running far ahead
Of his Democratic opponent.
Oregon's Senator Morse, who
bolted the Republican Party to
support Gov. Stevenson. was dis
appointed with the election.
He told the Portland Oregonian
in a telephone interview that
Eisenhower and Nixon fooled the
people and won theselection."

Gov. Warren has said he was not
interested in going to the Senate.
There has been speculation that
he might become Gen. Eisen-

event, Republican 1t. Gov. Good

the governership.
Gov. EisenhoWer's victory in
California obviously came with the

a Democratic registration majority
of 857,0O0-30O. 900 of it in Los

Home Food Production Down

The amount of home food pro-
duction in Delaware, and in the
rest of the nation, is decreasing.
"Is this wise trend ?" questions
Miss Louise r.. Whitcomb, home
management specialist of the Del
aware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice.
Farm families produced guam
tiles of food at home under the
pressure of war and rationing, says
Miss Whitcomb, but it evidently
doesn't appear as urgent now with
store shelves full.
Miss Whitcomb feels that home
food production is even more i'm
portant now. She gives two main
reasons.
First is the high cost of food.
Home food production and preser-
walton can cut family food costs
by as much as one-third. Some
farm families do produce one-third
of the food they eat.
Second is the farm diet. Studies
have shown that the nutrients in
which most farm diets are low

what are they?" Mac shouted,
his voice scarcely audible above
the pounding of the surf. From
far up the coast an irregular flock
of chunky black birds was flying
toward us, following the curves of
the shoreline as though reticent to
cross single cape. Must be scot
ers, I unused, but which one of the
three?
Soon they were among the swells
not far from us. Even at dis
tance we could see them hit the
water belly-frst and plow along a
moment with dark wings elevated
like gulls. Surf scoters! No other
ducks will land like that. Though
inconspicuous, these are among the
common off-shore birds to winter
along the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts and on the Great Lakes
from mid-September to the end of
May.
Through the spotting scope we
confirmed our judgment. 1t was a
flock of adults. We could distin-
guish the Roman-nose profile and
a bit of red on the thick bill. The
all black body, white forehead and
nape of the male were clearly Wis
ible. No wonder folks call them
skunk-heads. Coot is another pop
ular nickname. Although this 20
inch sea duck is much larger than
the true coot, it is dark like that
15-inch quiet-water bird. The fe-
male scoters (rhymes with motor
were brown with a dark crown and
light patches behind and before the
eye.
The cock drifted in among the
white-topped breakers. These fell
lows were as much at home here
as In the smoother water. AS a
wave crest curved high above one,
about to plunge down upon it, the
up-ended with an awkward splash
ing of wings and disappeared, to
pop up like a bit of driftwood on
the other side.
There Is nothing clumsy about
the surf scoter under water, how
ever. Its body is stoutly built to
withstand great pressures; it feeds
commonly at depths to 40 feet.

Often it dives when wounded or to
escape danger and will even plunge
directly from flight. Blue mussels
are its major food, but it also eats
other mollusks, crustaceans, sea
plants and insects. Studies have
shown, however, that it does no
appreciable harm to shell fisheries.
Because the adult takes only about
IL percent plant food, its flesh is
rank and unpalatable. Consequent
ly it is not taken by duck hunters.

Tiny Fragment of Plastic Leads
To Solution of ~ Safe Thefts

It's the little things that otter
provide the biggest clues in de-
tective work. Like a tiny piece o1
broken plastic, for instance.
1t was lying unnoticed on &

it. A week later, it led to the ar

of q safe robberies and 19 auto
theftS.
This was disclosed today by

Months of painstakipg detective
work preceded the arrests. Police
had singled out the eight men as
the principal suspects. They kept
them under surveillance, noticed
the expensive clothes they were
wearing and their free-handed
spending.
But the gang was smart, and
the robberies continued. They
eluded sleuths with burst of speed
i'm high-poWered cars. They
avoided every trap set for them
They left nothing behind to con-
meet them with the robberies.
But their smartness proved their
undoing. Before they lugged a

80, they surveyed all the little de-
tails that might lead to their cap
ture.
They noticed that the dome light
came on in their stolen automobile
every time the door opened. There
was no switch to turn it off. A
flash of light might prove their
Iundoing when they loaded the safe
into the car, they reasoned. So
they smashed the dome and broke
the bulb. And they got away with
1000 in cash and $4,000 in Sc
lcuritieS.
Piece Falls to Ground.
But a piece of the plastic dome
|fell on the ground.
The Safe Squad turned the frag-
ment over to the Automobile
Squad. That kind of plastic is
used only in Mercury, the Auto
Squad men learned. Three days
later, they recovered a Mercury
with a broken dome light, not far
from the home of one of the sus-
pected men. The recovered plastic
fragment fitted other fragments
found in the car.
Police rounded up the gang.
Under questioning, one of the
men admitted he had been riding
lin the stolen car, but he denied
he had been near the slaughter
house. Detectives showed him
how the plastic dome fitted to-
gether. He confessed and i'm
