He bases thia prediction on his contention that Morse haa con-1 tinned to take wavering stands, on innumerable Ihhucm, and th» t , thia record will be brought to light by Republicans in the cam paign. A hard core of Morse support ers in the state cannot be .swayed fiom backing him, Merrifield j stated, and likewise a group op posing him will vote for any Re publican who runs against him 8 IV: Cent Decide* Vote About five per cent of Oregon voters, those not having any strong feeling about Morse, will decide the senatorial election, ! Merrifield averred. If Eisen hower runs again for president, his popularity will sway that' middle group here In Oregon to the Republican side, he believes, i If Eisenhower does not run, he said, the Republicans will have a harder task m order to win the senate seat. It is improper for Republicans; to discuss any other candidate but Eisenhower for the presiden tial elections this fall until the President announces whethei he vv.ii run, Merrifield believes. Mei nfield told the journalism Chairman Says GOP Doesn't Want to Beat Morse—Not Quite HILLSBORO <Jh The Repub lican* this year won't be out to beat Sen.

Heritor* that “all Republican lead en* want Elsenhower to run if his health will permit." HIh strong support of the na tional Republican administration is based mainly on the belief that Eisenhower's administration has been to the general public good. Home of hln reasons for believ ing this are that there has been "more labor-management har mony" in the past four years than at any time since World War II, and that the nation’s economy is essentially prosperous. Ike Kept Clear President Roosevelt projected himself into labor and other prob lems, Merrifield maintains, and Elsenhower has kept clear from the problem personally. "This is not a big business gov ernment nor is it a big labor government,” Merrifield stated. If Democratic accusations that it is in favor of big business were true there would be trouble with labor, and there has been none, he continued. Calling the farm problem the "touchiest problem ol the day," Merrifield said that Eisenhower is trying to keep it out of politics and acutally solve the problems. Approximately 450 million bush el ■* of wheat and similar numbers of other main products have been removed from storage which they were put in during Democratic administrations, he .->aid in illus tration. Praises Administration The Democrats want a fixed price support “which has caused the farmer’s problems" in the first place, Merrifield said. Praising the Kisenhower ad ministration’s foreign policies, he cited end of the Korean war, strengthening of U.S. alliances everywhere and quest for peace as presidential accomplishments.
