Morse Raps Appointments;
Explains Bolt from Party
Dulles Stamped
As 'Reactionary'
By Larry Hobart
Emardd Editor
1 ’resident-fleet Kisenhower's
appointments of John Foster
Dulles as Secretary of State
and Charles K. Wilson as Sec
retary of Defense were rapped
by Senator Wayne Morse in a!
coffee hour queston period Tues
day afternoon.
Morse called the Dulles appoint
ment "unfortunate,” and named
the former New York senator a
"reactionary.” Morse said Paul
Hoffman, former head of ECA,
would have been a better appoint
ment. "We would have a better
chance for peace with Hoffman,” j
the senator stated.
The Oregon senator criticized
the appointment of Wilson, presi
dent of General Motors, on the
grounds that:
1. Wilson Is too closely connect
ed with defense contracts. (Morse
said that GM now has close to five
million dollars in defense con
tracts. i
Anti-trust Defendant
2. Wilson was a defendant in one
of the biggest anti-trust suits ever
prosecuted by the government.
3. GM, through its president, de
fied the War Labor Board in 1942.
Wilson, Morse stated, took the po
sition that GM would decide its
labor problems as it saw fit, dis
carding advice of the board.
(Morse was head of the War Labor
Board at the time.)
"He is a good appointment to
carry out Mr. Eisenhower’s poli
cies," Morse said, "but it is the
policies that I reserve judgment
on."
Morse said Dulles attempted to
gain isolation votes in the Senate
for passage of the North Atlantic
Pact treaty by taking the position
thnt the U.S. was not morally com
mitted to implement the act.
Got to Get it Done
Dullett’ attitude was "You got
to get this done first; you can an
nounce the principle later,” Morse
said. "I think you should announce
the principle first,” he added.
• I'm worried that he'll fall for,
this propaganda that we use Na
tionalist China in Korea,” Morse
said. Such a move would expand
the war, cause trouble with our
Allies and lose friends for us in
Asia, the senator said.
Morse called the statement that
there are 650,000 ready-equipped
Nationalist troops on Formosa "an
absolutely false piece of propa- 1
ganda."
"You’d have a hard time bring
ing together 100,000 troops on For
mosa, or 50,000 with shoes, or
30,000 who have fired 100 rounds
in the last two years," Morse
stated. Nationalist troops would
have a hard time holding Formosa,
ho said. Asia and many of our
allies do not share our Confidence
in Nationalist China, Morse de
clared.
Back Thom I p
If Nationalist troops were placed
on the Chinese mainland, the U.S.
would have to back them up, Morse
said, and this would “increase
danger of all-out war.”
Morse called all the cabinet ap
pointments, with the exception of
Durkin and Weeks, "reactionary.”
Morse commented also on:
Labor — Emergency labor dis
putes are the big thing. Ike hasn’t
proposed anything to handle emer
gency disputes. The government
needs the power to keep production
going.
McKay “I don’t believe he’ll
make the fight that should be
made to save the heritage of the
people.” He doesn’t have h public
power background. He may pre

One-third Cut
Convictions “If I could only get
boys in the Senate to vote their
convictions we could cut debate
one-third and get things done in a
hurry.”
Public power Federal conserva
tion should be preserved. Opposed
to utility monopoly of any river.
We should work to give utilities
fair contracts for sale for federally
produced power. There will be a
strong movement in the next four
years to allow utilities to take
over streams and to sell dams to
utilities. Utilities will sell them
back later for a profit. Public
power has "done more for
strengthening of private industry
in the Northwest than anything
else you can name."
Cabinet appointments A sen
ator's word on cabinet appoint
ments are words of limitation; he
has no appointive power. A sen
ator has no right to refuse to vote
for a man because the senator does
not believe that man to be the
right one. If character, competency
or loyalty is in question, the sen
ator has a right to vote against the
appointment.

Conscience Halts
Support of GOP
By Bill Gurney
Emerald Associate Editor
Sen. Wayne L. Morse told
w hy lie resigned from the Re
puhlcan party, and declared
that world peace will be won
only through economic means,
in a speech '1 uesday before a
near-capacity crowd in the Student
Union ballroom.
Oregon’s junior senator, who
now calls himself an Independent,
said he couldn’t support Eisen
hower and the GOP with “intel
lectual honesty” and "in good con
science” .
“The challenge of our genera
tion is to realize that peace will
be won on the economic front, and
not on the military front,” Mor3e
said.
Now Frontier
The "new frontier" for US cap
italism lies in the backward areas
of the world which have increased
enormously in population during
the past two centuries, he stated.
"The economic productive power
of our allies is our best del.rise,’’
the ex-Oregon law school dean
argued, “tut if you. take that po
sition you might fight the busi
ness lobby."
Morse said his adherence to Ed
mund Burke's principle of never
sacrificing conscience and judge
ment in respresentative govern
ment explained his refusal to sub
mit to party pressure in the Sen
ate.
"It is the duty of a representa
tive to act on the basis of facts,
and not according to partisan dic
tates,” he declared.
Defeat Possible
He admitted his independence
may cause his defeat in 1956, but
drew loud applause when he vow
ed: "They’re going to have to beat
me.”
“Peace is the great issue of our
time,' Morse said, and charged
that the U.S. has allowed Russia
to steal it through their campaign
to convince the world the U.S.
wants war.
He said he was "frightened”
when he found on his late summer
tour of defense establishments that
most military men see was as in
evitable.
"I think war can be avoided
with honor,” Morse declared.
During his inspection of NATO
Morse first became disillusioned
with Eisenhower's ability as a
leader and administrator. He had
pledged his campaign support to
Ike in a letter written in London
before visiting the European cont
inent. *
Not a Dollar’s Worth
"In many of the NATO instal
lations you taxpayers got about 30
cents w^rth of value for each dol
lar spent,” the senator charged.
