Oregon Demos back Johnson
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
Oregon Democrats gave President Johnson a vote of confidence on Viet Nam policy in Tuesday's primary voting while an effort to exploit the racial issue backfired against Gov. Hayden Burns of Florida.
In Oregon, Rep. Robert B. Duncan, who embraced President Johnson's course in Viet Nam, won the Democratic senatorial nomination from former Federal Power Commissioner Howard Morgan, a critic of administration policy.
MORGAN WAS backed by Sen.
Wayne L. Morse, the Democratic
party's own angry critic of policy in Viet Nam, and by Rep. Edith Green. Duncan was endorsed by retiring Democratic Sen. Maurine Neuberger.
Duncan still faces heavy going, however, in the Nov. 8 election against Gov. Mark Hatfield, who easily won the Republican senatorial nomination. Hatfield also has challenged the administration's handling of the Viet Nam war.
Morse, who was elected to the Senate twice as a Republican before becoming a Democrat, has announced that he would vote for Hatfield if Duncan were nominated.
In Florida, Burns was unseated
parently did poll heavy majorities in Negro areas although he contended that the only issue was integrity in government and charged Burns with "hogpen morality." He will be favored to beat Claude Kirk, the Republican nominee, in November.

Negro protection conference is set
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — A White House conference next week will consider a wide-ranging plan to provide Negroes with government - guaranteed jobs, low-cost housing, better educational opportunities and federal protection against racial violence.
Oklahoma also held run-off primaries for candidates who failed to win majorities in early primary voting May 3.
The conference was summoned by President Johnson "to help the American Negro fulfill the rights which he is finally about to achieve."
by Mayor Robert King High of Miami in a conservative vs. liberal contest with racial overtones.
AFTER POLLING a slight plurality over High in Florida's first primary May 3, Burns called his rival a "radical liberal" agent of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-N.Y., and depicted High as the candidate of bloc-watching Negroes.
Participating in its sessions next Wednesday and Thursday will be 2,400 Americans from all sections of the country and all walks of life.
THEIR DISCUSSIONS will focus on a series of specific recommendations—more than 100 in all—contained in a report made public Tuesday by 30 prominent citizens who were appointed by the President to serve as the executive council of the conference.
The council asserted in its unanimous report that "massive unemployment" is the most urgent problem confronting Negroes to-day.
Rep. Augustus Hawkins (D-Calif.) whose district includes the Watts area of Los Angeles, thought the plan contained some

OXFORD, England—(UPI)—Authorities at Somerville College ordered coeds to leave their high-shigh skirts in the closet during final exams so they won't hamper the concentration of male students.
Short skirts hurt studies
Dean Mary Proudfoot issued the ban on high helmines.
"Short or mini-skirts can look very attractive when a girl is standing up." Mrs. Proudfoot said, "but as soon as she sits down, they have a habit of riding up almost to the waist.
"You could hardly blame a man from letting his eyes wander in such a situation, and if his eyes wander, his concentration does and he is liable to fail his exam."
Uganda rioting seems to be brink of civil war
NAIROBI, Kenya — (UPI) — Fresh fighting broke out today between government troops and rebel factions in neighboring Uganda, reports reaching here said. The East African nation appeared on the brink of civil war.
According to the reports, gunfire was continuing around the palace of the king of Buganda, one of Uganda's four kingdoms which has been accused by the central government of plotting secession.
GOVERNMENT troops and special police units attacked the palace Tuesday and reportedly arrested King Edward Frederick Mutesa on charges of treason. He is reported alive and well, however.
Heavy security patrols were also reported raging through the streets of Uganda's capital of Kampala where the attack on the king's palace took place. A government announcement Tuesday said 22 persons had been killed in disorders in the country since Monday.
Police arrested 50 persons at Makindye, where the trouble started. Many of these, the statement said, told police the weapons they had been using were distributed to them from the palace.
The raid by Ugandan police Tuesday climaxed a long-standing power struggle between the king and President, Dr. Milton Obote, dating back to Uganda's independence in 1962.
