Governor Patterson May Run
Against Sen. Wayne Morse
By PAI L IV. HARVEY, .IK.
of the Associated Press
SALEM AP — Many members
of the Legislature, who have sus
pected that Gov. Paul Patterson
will run against Sen. Wayne
Morse next year, are pretty sure
about it now.
When the governor told the
Legislature a month ago that he
opposes a sales tax and wants
higher unemployment compensa
tion benefits, legislators began
making remarks that the gover
nor looks like' a candidate ap
pealing for popular support.
Since Gov. Patterson’s term
runs for four more years he
couldn’t be thinking about run
ning for anything except Morse’s
seat.
Some legislators are wonder
ing why the governor is taking so
long to tell his views about the
proposed Columbia Basin com
pact, which is opposed by Demo
crats, the Grange and labor.
Although the governor long has
been for the compact idea, he has
kept his silence. Some lawmakers
think the governor doesn’t want
to offend the public power pro
ponents.
Ike Makes Request
Last week, the report came
from Seattle that President Eis
enhower had asked Gov. Langlie
of Washington and Gov. Patter
son to run for the U. S. Senate
next 3’ear.
Langlie said the report was
true, but Gov. Patterson said it
was news to him, and that he
would think about it while the
legislature was in session. Lang
lie and Patterson had been with
the President in Washington only
a few days before the report
came, and the President’s re
quest was reported to have been
made to them then.
Door Wide Open
While saving' he didn't know
anything about it. the governor
left the door wide open, and
that's what convinced the legis
lators that the governor will op
pose Morse.
Gov. Patterson said that Pres
ident Eisenhower is doing a
great job, and that no man had
a right to turn down any re
quest the President might make,
provided that person could cap
‘Stock Market*
NEW YORK (API- A flurry
of selling rolled through the
stock market Wednesday in a
matter of minutes before the
close and knocked prices down.
The Associated Press average
of 60 stocks was off 60 cents at
$li>9.30. Tuesday the average
gained 50 cents and stood at the
highest level in its history, the
fourth time in five sessions that
the average had attained a new
all-time high.
All three components of Wed
nesday’s average were lower in
dustrials off 90 cents, rails off
50 cents, and utilities off 30
cents.
‘The market broadened out a
little from Tuesday with 1264
individual issues traded of which
465 advanced and 568 declined
while 13S new highs and one new
low for 1954-55 registered.
Volume came to 3.660.000
shares, up from Tuesday’s 3,
510.000 shares. Incidentally, one
and a fourth million shares were
traded in the final 90 minutes
'of the session.
ably perform the job the Presi
dent wanted him to take.
This statement is being inter
preted to mean that If the Pres
ident wants Gov. Patterson to
run, the governor will do it.
To some legislators, that
sounded like an announcement of
Patterson’s candidacy, although
the governor warned that no
one had any right to jump to
that conclusion.
The governor's answer was
dictated rather hurriedly.
When the report came, he was
playing cribbage in the Senate
lounge during his lunch hour.
I sent the report in to him. An
hour later, the governor came
out and dictated his statement
to me rapidly.
Putterson Only Hope
There's no question that many
Republicans believe Patterson Is
their only hope of beating Morse
next year.
Right now. Republicans are
busy blaming each other for los
ing the senatorial election last
November. They are divided into
two camps, with the Eisenhower
Republicans and the conserva
tives not thinking too highly of
each other.
Women Republicans are com
plaining that if the men of the
GDP had given the women a
chance to work in the last cam
paign. the GOP would have won.
There are some who say that
Richard L Neuberger won be
cause of his six months' cam
paign. This group believes that
if the campaign had been shorter,
Neuberger would have lost.
Those who belong to this
school of thought favor postpon
ing the May primary to August
or September, believing a long
campaign helps the Democrats.
