GOP Solon Tells Class
Morse Faces Defeat
Senator Wayne Morse will get
a beating In the Oregon sen
ntonal race, State Senator John
Merrifield predicted Thursday to
a class of journalism seniors.
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.

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.
