Morse Deplores
Pressure Politics
By BILL YATES
Grave concern over growing pres
sure groups in congress was sound
ed last Saturday morning by Ore
gon's junior senator, Wayne L.
Morse, in a speech before faculty
members and students of the law
school in Fenton hall.
“No honest politician,’’ the for
mer dean of the University law
school declared, “can serve you
honestly if he tries to adjust his vote
to pressure groups."
Greatest Threat
Calling pressure groups the
greatest single threat to American
self-government. Senator Morse
urged that intelligent Americans
correct this fault at the ballot box.
The evil of lobbying and pressure
groups, the senator said, is not in
the men who lobby, but is to be
found in the men sent to congress
who lack what he called “intellec
tual honesty.”
“Don’t expect your congressmen
to always vote as you want them
to,” Senator Morse said. “Instead,”
he asked, “know why he voted as he
did on a measure and then evaluate
his reasons.”
Armed Service Stand
Senator Morse, who returned re
cently from Europe, said that he
was not in favor of any legislation
which would cut the expenditures
for armed services. He expressed a
belief that unless the armed forces
of the United States are kept at the
present strength in Europe chances
for peace will be remote.
Senator Morse was introduced by
Orlando Hollis, dean of the law
school.

pulled an effective stall that
the ljucks couldn't break up.
Ed Dick tossed in a two point
er for Oregon with 15 seconds
remaining, but time ran out be
fore the weary Webfoots could
steal the ball from the equally
\\ eary Huskies.
Bobby Jor genson was high scor
er for the evening with 17 points.
Other high point makers were
Sammy White with 13 for Wash
ington, Dick Wilkins with 13 for
Oregon, and Ken Hays and Stan
Williamson collected .12 apiece for
the Webfoots.
The contest was a fast, race
horse affair from the starting
gun. Both teams used the fast
break, but their percentage of
shots nrade good was low.
