Senator Morse Says Army
Engineers Carry On Snide
Political Attack Oh Him
AP Special Washington Service
WASHINGTON, July 12. OF)
Senator Morse (R-Ore) said to-,
day that "some personnel in the
Portland (Oregon) offices of the
Army Engineers are carrying on
a subtle and snide political attack
against me."
He made the comment in a let
ter to Secretary Cordon Gray of
the Army.
"It has been reported to me by
friends, whose veracity I know
to be unimpeachable, that some
of the personnel of the Portland
Army Engineers' office, includ
ing both civilians and army offi
cers, seek to undetermine me po
litically by advising my constitu
ents that if they want any help
from the Army Engineers in
Washington, D. C, on flood con
trol matters they should seek it
through the office of my col-,
league, Senator Cordon (R-Ore-gon)
rather than through me be
cause Senator Cordon is the only
one who can do them any good."
Morse wrote Gray.
"Such political activity on the
part of any one in the office of
the Army Engineers is unfair,
not only to me but to Senator
Cordon."
He said he and Cordon have
the finest political and personal
relationship and the action is just
as injurious to Cordon as to him.
"There Is, of course, no bias in
fact for any such representation
on the part of anyone in the
Army Engineers' office because
Senator Cordon and I have al
ways worked together in support
of the various projects over which
the Army Engineers have juris
diction In our slate," Morse said.
Army Man Quoted
Morse told Gray he had Just
received a letter from a constitu
ent in which an unidentified "Mr.
McDuffee" of the Army was said
to have told the constituent "Sen
ator Morse is not helping you any
too much in getting your funds
for Army's flood control works.
All you can expect from the
Army now is moral support."
Morse said some of his con
stituents have advised him that
the Army engineers resent the
fact that in speeches in Oregon
he has made it clear he favors
the Hoover Commission recom
mendation in respect to the engi
neers. The Hoover Commission recom
mends that they be placed in a
public works department or that
their activities be transferred to
the Interior Department.
Morse said his constituents also
had expressed the opinion the en
gineers "are opposed to me po
litically because they know I am
not opposed to a sound publfc
power program in any district
in my state where the people de
cide tney want to be served by a
public power project rather than
by a private utility."
Morse asked that Gray send
him a list of the personnel of the
Portland engineers' office, both
military and civilian, with a sum
mary of their personnel records.
Senator Cordon declined to
comment.
Sheriff Elliott
Says He's Just
Begun To Fight
PORTLAND, July 13 UP)
Sheriff M. L. Elliott, declaring
that Tve Just begun to f 1 e h t.
took up the gauntlet yesterday
against an attempt to recall him
irom omce.
A formal recall petition was
filed ' Monday, charging t h a
Democrat Elliott had misrepre
sented his qualifications during
nis campaign, and that his con
duct since had proven him unfit
or the sheriff's job.
Attorney Maxwell Donnelly and
press agent Don Hammitt both
Republicans who filed the peti
tion, called a public meeting for
Thursday night to plan the re
call campaign. The Young Re
publicans of Multnomah county
promised to help.
"Recall? No!" said the em
battled sheriff. "We have just be
gun to fight."
He charged that the recall
campaign came "from the Republican-controlled
press and ra
dio, which has persecuted me
continuously. I know that public
opinion is opposed to recall of
either Mayor Lee or myself be
cause we have broken up the
organized gambling operated un
der the pay-off system of the
past years."
The Young Republicans organ
ization added its recall petition
to the movement against Elliott
yesterday. The petition was pre
sented to the district attorney for
review before actual filing.

time we can- get wage Increases

do those things in the face of the
circumstances now confronting
this country. '

Colonial Economic System Gone,
Britain Faces Dollar Dilemma
By JAMES D. WHITE
Associated Press Foreign News Analyst
One of the big reasons for Britain's money trouble goes far
deeper than dollars.
This is the fact that Britain's place in the scheme of world busi
ness can never be what it used to be. Under the right conditions
it might be as great, but never the same.
In the old days the sun never
set on the British empire. Brit
ain's colonist sons made deals that
gave the mother country the
world's highest living standard
at the time. This is no longer
possible now that the empire is
changing into a union of equal
partner-nations.
one of Britain s promaoie op
erations under the old system
was to buy raw materials in the
lands her armed forces held.
These raw materials were, taken
to England and made into finish
ed consumer goods. These con
sumer goods were shipped back
to the colonies and sold to the
natives.
This worked until the "natives"
began making their own goods
and getting fresh new Ideas about
running their own show gener
ally. There came a time when
the cost of keeping some colonies
in that condition outran the pre
dictable return.
As a people, the British never
got so nearsighted while clipping
coupons from colonial invest
ments that they couldn't read
the handwriting on the wall. They
led all colonial powers in thinking
up a civilized way to avoid the
explosion that could have taken
place if tne colonial world nao
got a flat "no" to Its demands for"
freedom.
Transforming an empire of sub
servient colonies Into a common
wealth of equal partners is one
of the major political feats of
history. It isn't finished yet, but
is well on lis way and the British
are largely responsible.
Britain had to tackle tne deli
cate part of this lust as she
emerged exhausted from World
War II and faced a postwar world
tnat had turned to other supplies.
Some of her own dependencies,
to wnom sne now owed money
for the war, were buying else
where.
Within the framework of the
new commonwealth, she has tried

to rebuild her trade with these
areas, and has partly succeeded.
But the basic fact is that they are
no longer economic colonies in
the old sense.
In other words, the old Britain
was as rich as she was partly
because of her colonies. The
colonial economic system through
which they added to her wealth
is on its way out. Britain now
competes in world markets on a
different basis, and her resources
and techniques have not yet
proved up to the job.
America has taken her place as
chief supplier of finished goods
to the world, and the demand for
such American goods has put the
Yankee dollar ahead of the pound
sterling at the world's most want
ed money,
Britain herself must seek dol
lars, so she can buy things she
needs from this country, or from
areas demanding dollars.
But these are secondary things.
The basic fact seems to be that
Britain ain't what she used to be.
That was a factory for a colonial
world where she had the inside
track to buy and sell pretty much
on her own terms.
The basic British good sense
which realized this state of things
could not last lorever is some
thing the world should never for
get.
Horde Of Caterpillars

erpillar horde moved out of a five
acre "thistle patch north of here
Monday and began a cross-country
trek.
The caterpillars were by-passing
vegetable gardens, and Coun
ty Agent O. S. Fletcher told farm
ers there was nothing to be
alarmed about. He said the move
ment would be watched and the
caterpillars sprayed with poison
if they begin to move into crops.
They were about five miles north

Fletcher said he was advised by
Oregon State College experts
that the caterpillars would go into
the cocoon stage soon.
He said he thought they left
the thistle patch because some
one had sprayed there recently

Senator Dulles
Favors North
Atlantic Treaty
WASHINGTON, July 13-UP
aenaior uuues ik.-n. r.) yester
day urged Senate approval of the
North Atlantic Pact. He said it
is the only measure that prom
ises to save "our hopes for . a
peaceful and free Europe. i
Dulles said the Pact should
save Germany for the west and
spike "the Communist twin guns
oi xaise promise ana threat." .
The New Yorker, appointed
only last week by Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey of New York, took
sharp issue with Senator Taft
(R.-Ohio) in his first senate
speech.
Without mentioning the Ohio
senator oy name, Dulles disputed
Taft's contention that the pact
commits this country a tremen
dous foreign arms program.
Answering Taft's assertion that
the security . pact could not be
regarded as a supplement to the
United Nations charter "by any
stretch of the Imagination,
Dulles declared: ;
"I have heard it said here thht
this North Atlantic Treaty does
violence to the spirit if not the
letter of -the United Nations
Charter and that It represents a
step backward. If I believed that,
I would, of course, oppose the
treaty.
"It is my opinion that the
North Atlantic Treaty, far from
being a step backward, is a step
forward."
Dulles told his colleagues that
by offering a solid front among
the free nations, the treaty may
keep the strategically placed
Germans from turning toward a
Soviet alliance under which "all
our hopes and plans for a peace
ful and free Europe would crash
to the ground."
