...other single national issue has yet begun to dominate the races for 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats and 35 governorships. Viet Nam has become a major debating point in Oregon, where Republican Governor Mark Hatfield is in deep trouble in his bid for the Senate because of his soft stand. It may also decide the outcome of several House races, where independent peace candidates might take votes from hard-pressed Democratic freshmen such as Michigan's Weston Vivian and New York's Lester Wolff. So far, however, no candidate of either party who ran on an antiwar...
...hours that James Thompson Prothro Jr. calls his "thinking hours." It could be chess that Tommy Prothro is thinking about: he is a tournament champion. Or bridge: he collects master points. Or business: he is heir to a Memphis real estate fortune, owns two soft-drink bottling plants in Oregon. But right now he is trying to decide whether to counteract a strong-side blitz with a sweep or a Sprint-H. Football is Tommy's favorite hobby-and it also happens to be his profession. At 46, Prothro is head coach of the U.C.L.A. Bruins, who last week...

Then Congress tentatively got into the act; Oregon's maverick Democratic Senator Wayne Morse, who had headed a presidential panel that recommended one rejected settlement, led the way in introducing legislation that might end the strike by legal fiat. Union President Roy Siemiller, insisting that he could not engage in collective bargaining while a congressional club was being held over his head, merely used the proposed legislation as an excuse for walking away from negotiations. Last week, after...
...done about it until 1948, when the New York Court of Appeals awarded $1,661.25 in compensation to a partially deafened drop-forge worker. As a result, most companies engaged in noisy work have started noise-abatement measures and regular tests of workers' hearing. Three states-California, Oregon and Washington-have legal limits to industrial noise; in California, for instance, ear protection must be issued if the noise level reaches 95 to 110 decibels, depending on frequency and duration. Compensation claims for industrial hearing loss of varying degree are currently being settled for around...
