- 'I LIKE BOB'
; Morse Prefers Taft;
Protests Fleet Removal
WASHINGTON l/P) Wayne Morse, Junior senator from Oregon,
Sunday expressed a preference for Robert Taft as president as com
pared to President Dwight Kisenhower.
i Morse, an independent in political circles since he broke with the Re
publican parly last summer, told a television panel of news men that he
would support Taft "because I
think Bob Taft would stand for ex
* nctly what he believes in the
\Vliite House and wouldn't be tied
'ip with the kind of compromise I
believe Eisenhower's tied up with.”
Last summer Morse made it
clear that he would refuse to sup
port Taft if the Ohio senator re
ceived the Republican presidential
nomination. Later Morse backed
Eisenhower then broke with him
over campaign policy.
The Oregon senator also criti
cized any step toward removing
• the U.S. Seventh fleet off the job
t of neutralizing Formosa, saying it
would have "dangerous potcntiali
fties.”
“I want to do anything that's
necessary to protect the country
and win the peace, stated Morse,
"but suppose we run..into trouble

What Do You Think...
... of Student Government?
I’at Hartley, senior in music, said:
“I believe student government should include more students. The
same people seem to be stuck with all the jobs. If students are going
to complain about the way the government is run, they should be
willing to be more active participants in the various organizations.
Yet look at the few petitions received when there is a position open.
“If the students were more active in running their own govern
ment and took a lively interest in it. there would certainly be less
need for controlling legislation from the administration."
