Dunn, chairman of the Commission, said the im provements were being made "in anticipation of the industrial growth of the Columbia basin and our entire trading territory." Morse And Neuberger Not Quite En Rapport WASHINGTON (UPD Ore gon's two Democratic senators, who have repeatedly denied they are feuding, found themselves ut loggerheads again Tuesday. '' Sen. Richard L. Neuberger said ill a statement that his senior colleague, Sen. Wayne Morse, wanted to "drastically alter" Neu berger's bill to give the interior secretary a veto over power proj ects that would affect fish or wild life resources. ' Ho said he "regrets" that Morse came out against the bill in its present form. He said Morse's opposition "probably will prevent Senate action during this session" on his measure. v Morse- quickly fired back an answering statement denying that he had blocked "In any way" Sen ate consideration of the bill. He said it could be culled up on the floor whenever a pending bill Is disposed of. He said he very much hopes the Senule gets to the bill before adjournment. "I do not yield to Senator Neu berger or to anyone else in my desire to protect fisli and wildlife Interests," he said. But he said the Neuberger bill would stir up "ill will" against these interests among power groups and others who "also hove a vital interest in the maximum development of our river basins." The disagreement marked an other in a series of clashes be tween the two members of the Senate's so-called liberal bloc. De spite these conflicts, the two have denied there is any personal ill feeling between them. BlISHED 18 7 fcmEtN STAMPS, Last y Davs!
