qtw 3lows-Hwicu 4 The Newi-Review, Roieburg, Or. SATURDAY, MAY 18. 1963 Morse Stand On Dunes Undetermined One element which appears to have been overlooked in the recent upotliifht iiiK of action on the Oregon Dunes Na tional Seashore is Sen. Wayne Morse. Washington newg correspondent A. Robert Smith delves into that subject in a recent report on the progress of the plan to establish a national park extend ing along the coastal length of Douglas County. He points out that the Senate hearings on the Sen. Maurine. Neuberger bill to create the seashore has set a favorable climate for approval of the legislation, but probably in modified form. Roth Mrs. Neuberger and U. S. Rep. Robert Duncan have made clear where they stand on the proposed seashore. Both have introduced bills for its estab lishment under the National Park Serv ice. The big question mark, however, is, where does Sen. Morse stand. Morse didn't appear at the hearings earlier this month in Washington, D. C. He was given permission to file a state ment on his position at those hearings, but he didn't do so. Smith says Morse reportedly wants to review the trans script of testimony before presenting his views. Smith points out that Morse's attitude toward the dunes park has been "enig matic ever since it was first suggested by Sen. Richard L. Neuberger four years ago." At that time, the two were en gaged in a searing feud and seemed to disagree more than they agreed. After Richard Neuberger's death, a group of senators introduced a dunes park bill which would have named the park after Neuberger. Morse did not join in that tribute. At the time, he said he opposed the provision in Neuberger's own bill giving the secretary of interior the right to con demn residential pronerty in the area. Then, last year, Morse privately op posed any administration action on the dunes issue because he was running for re-election, Smith says. Rumors of his stand make the subject even more enigmatic. Some say Morse told Mrs. Neuberger and Duncan he would support some kind of park bill. Others say he told Glenn Jackson, chair man of the state Highway Commission he liked the idea of a state dunes park. With Senate action unlikely to take place before July or August, after a sen atorial visit to the dunes, Morse will have plenty of time to decide. Meanwhile, favorable action appears to depend on a proposed chunk of the park near its southern end. The Senate Inter ior Committee appears likely to chop off the last nine miles of the park proposed by Sen. Maurine Neuberger south of Ten Mile Creek. This section had never been included in previous bills and has run into stiff criticism from industrial in terests in the Coos Bay area. Mrs. Neuberger allegedly has no strong convictions on this strip, so it may become a bargaining point in rec onciling differences between her bill and Rep. Duncan's bill. THE LIGHTER SIDE: Nephews Counted With Graduation By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) - Invita tions to spring graduation exer cises are falling around us now liko the gentle rain from heaven. A person never realizes how many nephews he has until the commencement season begins. There Is. however, a silver lin ing in this shower of sheepskin importuning. In most cases, we are not really expected to attend The great aching void created by our absence can usually be assuaged by a small gift. At times, of course, the cere mony cannot be avoided. It Is to those of you who are facing such an ordeal this spring that I ad dress this message. Makes Ordaal Bearable Take heart, kind friends. I may be able to point out a way to make it bearable. 1 have found that I can belter endure the gaseous orations and ilia seemingly endless processions by occupying my mind with a pleasant little diversion called "scholar watching." Scholar watching is closely similar to bird watching. The ob ject is to see how many differ ent types of scholars you can identify by their colors and plum age. I happen to have at hand a scholar watcher's pocket manual that I obtained from the publish ers of the Encyclopedia Interna tional. From it I have gleaned a few tips that you might find use ful. Almost anyone who has even been to a graduation exercise can instantly rccognite the fa miliar '"black tasseled bache lor." But, not everybody can dis tinguish it from the "black tas seled master," which also is a fairly common species. Study Cownt The trick is to study the cut of their gowns. The bachelor has long sleeves with cuffs thai flair down into points, uliereas (lie master has oblong sleeves that are open at the wrist. The "gold tasseled doctor" also is easily spotted, but it ap-IH-ars in a variety of sub-species that provide a real challenge to the scholar watcher. however. You may sec a "scar let-hooded theologian" with scar let bars on the gown. On the other hand, the bars may be black. On rare occasions, the scholar watcher may spot an Kuropcan savant among the domestic flock. Most likely its coloration will be richer and more varied. But that doesn't mean that it is any smarter. As a matter of fact, a neophylc watcher should never attempt to identify scholars by their I. (J. The one at the botto.a may be your sister a oldest boy.

Soon, any way, the Kennedy Administration can report it has spent more than $100 billion in the first 10 months of the rurrent '63 fiscal year.

Hut the word State Forester Warns Of Forest Fire Danger PORTl-AND (I IM) Slate For ester Dwight Phipps warneil to day Oregon could he headed for one of its worst forest fire sum mers in history By ROBERT C. RUARK It was a popular saying among the hidebound, in times past, that a Roman Catholic could not be elected President of the United States, and a great many tasteless jokes were made about a pipe line to the Vatican if a Papist inher ited the office. John Fitzgerald Kennedy laid the lie to that one, and while the Ken nedy regime may have made a fair share of mistakes, not even the most bigoted wool-hat Protes tant could charge that Rome has exerted any pressure for good or evil on Mr. Kennedy's tenure. If anything, he has backed away from secular problems in his ad ministration. Rich Also Rise There was also, in the same narrow-minded past, some suspi cion that rich men could not get themselves elected, and that peo ple really didn't want military men to lead the nation. Franklin Roose velt was rich and aristocratic, with a Groton llarvard accent, and the only time he was really threat ened was by Wendell Willkie, who was Wall Street lo his cowlick. Ike was a shoo-in for two terms. Kennedy put the clincher on most of the arguments, lie was twin rich, he speaks with a broad Boston twang which is almost as hoity-toity as an Oxford accent, and he is Catholic lo boot.

Commie-hating. We now come to the next test: Nelson Rockefeller. There is tre mendous moaning over Rocky's marriage to Happy Murphy, and the new bridegroom, blithely enough, doesn't seem to think that he is going to be troubled at all about the old world well-lost-for-love cliche. I'm inclined to agree with the groom. Test Clear The disruption of 46 years of com bincd matrimony is not roughly comparable, in terms of flighti ness, to the monotonous severance of moving-picture stars.

Supreme Court has denied a hearing to Jeannace June Freeman, convicted of murder ox a small boy in eastern Oregon. This means a new date for her execution will be set and, unless Gov. Hatfield commutes her sen tence to life imprisonment, she will be executed. Mercy has been shown to many men much older than Miss Free man. While the jury did not have any mercy on Miss Freeman, it does not follow that everyone in Ihe state of Oregon feels as they did. While the deed of which she was convicted was cruel, I do not think showing the same cruelty to Miss Freeman will change anything. 1 would urge those who think her execution will serve no useful pur pose to write Gov. Hatfield and ask that he save her life. Joseph B. Ilulse Star Kt., Box 14 Winston, Ore.

But I now begin lo wonder if we haven't progressed beyond the point where a man's capabilities are counted in terms of religion and marital status. If Rockefeller divorced Mary Todhunter Clark Rockefeller will be firmly implant cd in the public mind as the little helpmeet, and a mighty attractive one, too. If we deal the kind of stupid bias which might disenfranchise a man because of a divorce, or because of his religion, we have to con sider that George Romney is a Mormon. The Mormon religion was founded on polygamy, and. I be lieve, contains certain strictures against other races and religions which have not yet been fully ex plored by the mudslingers.
