Speaking in the junior high school auditorium, Morse called attention to the story about his horse kicking him which in turn caused his political turnabout, as the tale goes. "You can see for yourself," he commented, "that the horse didn't hurt me." Rearrest Is Ordered In Drunk Driving Case Irving Leon Pearson. 34. 2327 Madison Court, Roseburg.

Morse Attacks Farm, Hells Canyon Policies (Continued from Page One) dential election year of 1056 to a showdown on their views over the proposed multipurpose dam. One pf the purposes of the dam would be flood control. Morse contended that some farmers in the Columbia River system . had been hurt by floods, and he told his listeners that he is ready to hear "Brother" McKay's "alibi" on that issue. He claimed that the administra tion does not have "vision" in its farm program, saying that agree ments between the United States and backward foreign countries could bring "enlightened" capital ism there. The overnment, he inlained, is able to insure busi ness ventures into these area. Morse took time to deliver a slap to the Roseburg Chamber of Commerce, which two weeks ago refused to hear the senator. He said that he realizes that Roseburg Is not "strong Morse ground." He added that he was here testing the grass roots. Then he commented that "I'm glad to see many members of the Chamber of Commerce here." On other matters. Morse: 1. Said that he will come out for a 170-wing Air Force at the next session on Congress. "Our posi tion is good for attack; poor for defense." He said that the United States can lick Russia in the event of a Red attack. 1 2. Stated that he is ready to carry the tidelands dispute, , a major issues of the presidential campaign, back through the Su preme Court. 3. Warned that he will battle Eisenhower on natural resources policy (tidelands and Hells Can yon), "our heritage." 4. Claimed that he has seen pub lic opinion change over to his point of view when the facts had been obtained .by the public. He said that he is not afraid to go against public opinion on an issue when he knows that public opinion is wrong. 5. Revealed that he is an --vain", for a periodical report to Ore a via radio and television. 6. Ad'dHted that he had made sume mistakes in Congress. 4 But they were not mistakes of intent," he added, saying that he had not gone into research on the particu lar matters in which he erred. 7. Reviewed the reasons for his walkout on the GOP, claiming, though, that he "didn't resign un til they, in fact, kicked me out. His resignation didn't come easy to him, he said. 8. Opined that Eisenhower should call Congress back into ses sion now to review farm policy. He said that he saw a trend against Ike when he spoke to the North Dakota Farmers Union in Bismarck last week. From the balcony of the junior high school auditorium, in which Morse spoke, his audience seemed to be composed largely of working people. He answered questions for about IS minutes following his talk. The audience received him well, and the evening was free from Prince Charles 5 Years Old; Starts School LONDON I Chubby Prince Charles celebrates his fifth birth day Saturday with his life as a schoolboy about to begin. The little heir to the throne ac quired a, governess last week. She Is Miss Catherine Peebles, 31, former governess of Prince Mi chael, son of the Duchess of Kent. British law says every child must start his education by the age of 5 and little Charles is no exception At first he will be taught at home. But ne may get a crack at public school life by the time he is 10. If ne does, he will be the first heir to the throne ever to get the typical schooling of a blue blooded British boy. . Traditionally, the young sprigs of British royalty are carefully screened in their early years from contact with the outside world. Queen Elizabeth II was 18 before she mixed with people of her own age at a wartime officer's training course for the Woman's Royal Army Corps. Before that, her edu cation was in the hands of her governess and tutors. King George VI, the Duke of Windsor and King George V all were 15 before they left their tutors to become cadets at Dartmouth, the navy's training college. But the Duke of Edinburgh, who attended a preparatory school in England when he was 9, reportedly takes a dim view of tradition swaddling his son. The young prince, in the opinion of many Britons, would make better King if he had an early and thorough knowledge of how his subjects live. . Traditionalists, on the other hand, argue that the very special- IvaH IrnnwIotoA a r!mni-rflli mnn. arch must have cannot be learned at an ordinary school. Morse Isn't Surprised At Rebuff By Chamber (Continued from Page One) Yoncalla Girl Scouts To Collect Used Toys Yoncalla Girl Scouts Troop 1 will hold a drive Sunday to collect used toys for distribution at Christ mas, according to Mrs. George Edes, News-Review correspondent. The toys are to be taken to Suth erlin, where the Lions Club will repair them. They will be distri buted to North Douglas County children at Christmas. the catcalls which have been re ported this week from other Orei gon cities., The introduction was made by D. R. Dimick, Roseburg attorney, a personal friend of the' senator for more than 20 years. Dimick revealed that he had studied law under Morse when Morse was dean of the University of Orsgon Law School. Dimick lauded the speaker as "absolutely fearless; a man who will not hide behind clouds and issues. He has honesty in every single cell of his body." Morse in turn singled out Dim ick as "one of my great students." ment on whom the Republicans nominate." He launched his lashing anti administration comments with his own reasons for bolting the Re publican party late in the 1952 elec tion campaign. "I left the Repub lican party when I came to the conclusion the campaign was bas ed on political immorality. , . cheap political expediency." "My obligation," ha said, "is that of Edmund Burke, Jefferson and Lincoln." He explained it was to justify his actions with his conscience. He drew another parallel to his own situation. He related he was the second Senator in U. S. his tory to be humped from floor com mittees when he didn't jibe with the party. The other was Sen. Sumner of Massachusetts in the last century. He stated that Sum ner had bolted the party because he had committed the action in talking against another! military admims'ration, that of U. S. Grant. He said it would stand "to the discredit of the senate" in wiping away his eigirt years oi seniority. SDeaking of recent reports he may receive some better positions in the Senate committees, he re torted "They can't barter with me." . He said his dislodgement reveal ed "I drew political blood. They had someone they could not con trol." He charged Sens. Taft and Lyndon Johnson of making a deal to boot him from the important committees. "But I horsewhipped them every Friday." He explained that he stumped every Friday on the proposition that if he were not given equal representation in the Senate, his million and a half con stituents in Oregon were not be ing represented either. Harking back to his "con science" report, Morse said he had five times in one year voted against instructions from Republi cans when he was accepted by the party. He explained he was voting on the merits of the bills in qi I sl.'jn instead of on instruc tions from the policy committee. "I knew I had heard everything ai uiai point, - morse said, "wnen one Senator replied the party should work as one big football team with a quarterback calling Battery Additive 'Without Merit' WASHINGTON I A commit tee of the National Academy of Sciences sided Friday wit the findings of the Bureau of Stand ards that the controversial battery additive AD-X2 "is without merit." The committee, appointed by Secretary of Commerce Weeks to evaluate the work of thl bureau in testing ad-az, recommenoeq that no additional tests of the ma terial be made. The California maker of the battery additive Jess Ritchie, claims that AD-X2 will rejuvenate worn-out but me chanically sound storage batteries of the type used in automobiles. in reporting to weens tnat us information supports the AD-X2 conclusion of the bureau, the com mittee said the work done by this government scientific agency in testing batteries "is excellent." The Bureau of Standards ran a series of tests on AD-X2 and 'i ported that it was worthless. This report resulted in a fraud order by the Post Office Department early this year against Ritchie and the company he heads, Pioneers, Inc. School Lay Committee Proposed By Directors (Continued from Page One) Defense Movie Theme Of Yoncalla Program The Yoncalla Women's' Study Club will sponsor a defense movie, Nov. 18 at the Eagle Theatre, Yon calla. Talks will be given by several Air Force officials and the yon calla High School band will offer several musical numbers. Defense is the theme of the orogram. The public is invited to be present No admission will be charged. OPERATES CAFE Mrs. Carl Enander has announc ed she is again operating the South End Cafe, 916 S. Stephens St. She operated this same business dur ing World War II, and she reports she plans to continue the busi ness with the same type cooking and guest service as she did pre viously . the signals." "No quarterback from Ohio (Taft was head of ihe policy com mittee) is calling signals for Ore gon while I can help it," Morse snorted. body. The advisory committee should consist of SO to 60 persons, the board feels, and those persons should be from all strata, not just people who might be sympathetic to the needs of the district. After consideration of school en rollments and probable future in creased enrollment, the board dis cussed the three primary needs mentioned atsve. Possible site3 for another elementary building were discussed, five in Weit Rose burg, three in East Roseburg and two south of town. The need Jor a warehouse was pointed up by the fact the district now rents space which is one fourth the size needed. The- second phase of Joseph Lane ,' Aesanlial tha hoard feels. tO necessary training for students of junior high age. A secona pnase on the building would provide such necessary items as space for phys ical education classes. In order for an expansion pro gram to be put into effect in time to meet next year s requirement, it was oointed out that the com mittee of lay people must be se lected as soon as possible. .A def inite plan for picking a committee was not outlined, but one sugges tion was favored above others. That was for the superintendent to conta.t the principal oi eacn school in the district, with the principals each picking about IS persons as candidates for the committee. Again, it was empha sized that the group be varied and not necessarily be composed of persons who already know the sit uation or are sympathetic with the board's problems.
