/Morse Blasts GOP Records By Bob Robinson fmnrdd AftUtant N«w« Editor The United Stuti’H mtiHt stay ahead of Russia in bralnwork if not in manpower, Senator Wayne L. Morae told an audience of ap proximately IKK) yesterday in a major political address at a Uni versity assembly Thursday. Morae, speaking on the Hiil Education amendment, empha sized that the nation and the atate of Oregon needa a Demo cratic Congress to keep the coun try mentally ahead of Ruaaia. He wan interrupted eight times during the course of hia speech by audience applause. At the conclusion of the assembly, he was saluted with applause that bordered on an ovation. ••ftlg Lie" Technique Attacked Morse had been asked by the University assembly committee to comment on issues rather than specific candidates in the current senatorial campaign. Oregon’s Junior senator pointed to the "Big Lie" technique being used by the "reactionaries” in the last days before the election fia an excellent example of their Inefficiency. In many caeca “they are giv ing the public downright false Information,” Morse said. "They operate on the assumption that U.S. citizens will not look to the records and thus discover their misleading claims." He stated that it is time to' "reverse the natural reaoufce giveaways and special interest legislation of the Republican; Congress and reintroduce bi-' partisanship in the conduct of foreign affairs." In the past two years the Re publican Congress has done sev eral things that "shows its in competence," Morse declared. He used the "offshore give- j away and the defeat of the Hill amendment" as examples. "The Supreme Court has three times rejected the claims of a few coastal cities to the owner ship of *he submerged offshore i lands, mistakenly railed ‘tide lands,’ ” he said "Despite this clear set of decisions, the Re publican Congress gave away the submerged lands to the so called historic boundaries of the coastal states. "These offshore lands contain from 50 to 300 billion dollars in wealth and in acting as they did, the reactionaries gave away this wealth,” Morse asserted. In defeating the Hill amend ment "they once again went against the public's interest,” Morse stated. "The Hill amendment was our best hope for federal aid re quired to remedy the unconsion able inadequacies of educational facilities throughout ^he coun try," he said. "And this is not the first time they have gone against improving education. Taft Education Bill Cited “In 1049 they voted against he Taft Federal Aid to Education bill. At the time they said it was because it advocated socialism.” Morfc* declared that “if Boh Taft was a socialist, then I’m Norman Thomas.” Hr- attacked the ' reactionaries” on their claims about unemploy ment. * They go around the country claiming that unemployment is down and they provide false sta tistics that they hope will fool the people," Morse said. “They use statistics that don’t include the people who are not eligible for unemployment benefits and those for whom the benefits have been exhausted. "Vice-President Nixon over looked the fact that Oregon is one of the top states in the country in literacy when he elab orated on these misleading claims in Oregon recently.” Morse referred to Nixon as a “McCarthy in a tuxedo.” He also emphasized that the Republicans' "sabotage of public power is nowhere as serious as it is in the Pacific Northwest.” "In the early days of the ad ministration they started with a walkout on Hells Canyon. A high dam at Hells Canyon is indis pensable in the plan for full de velopment of the Snake River and the Columbia Basin. “They are proposing a plan of partnerships to cope with the power problem. Under this plan there would be no advantage to the government and the people would pay higher rates.” Another fault of the present administration, according to Morse, is the "atomic energy law they have enacted which practically hands over a patent monopoly to private monop olies.” Morse pointed out that the reactionaries” would continue their "phony methods over my political dead body.” He concluded that the "only way to modify the present situa tion is to get a Democratic Con gress in office.” Bob Chambers Picked As Assembly Chief Bob Chamber*, graduate in speech, wan appointed exchange' assembly director at Thursday night a ASUO senate meeting. Also approved by the senate «•*.* the appointment of Bob Maier, junior in business, as traf lic couit chairman.
