Senator Morse's attack on Secretary Hob by's administration of polio vaccine has drawn fire at home as well as in Washing ton. He accused the lady head of the depart ment of health, education and welfare of "gross incompetency," of "bad administra tion that ' borders on immorality," and charged the department had made a 'hor rendous mistake" in handling the Salk polio vaccine. He wants her fired, and now. The usually temperate Eugene Register-Guard condemns "such rabble-rousing, headline hunting diversions as the senator's attack on Secretary Hobby." And the ordinarily mod crate Portland Oregonian was so much roiled it declared: I " .- For our part, we consider Senator Morse's Intemperate charges and demands on the ad ministrative branch, and particularly his vicious assault on Mrs. Hobby, outrageous. His violence can only be interpreted by this newspaper as evidence that he will use any weapon even creation of hysteria among . anxious fathers and mothers' for the pur poses of self-glorification and fancied polity cai aavanuge. The senior senator yields too readily to the temptation to screech. After all" he should show more mercy toward the ears of his auditors. Tearing a passion to tatters may de feat his own purpose. The Little Prince , Prince Charles, heir-apparent to the throne of England, is going to have a bit of a tough time in school, it would seem. Hell go to a "proper" British school to be "one of the boys," but at night, hell have tutoring in special classes constitutional history, royal etiquette, responsibility, etc. to fit him for the kingship. Now only six years old, the prince won't get too heavy a dose of study until he's 10 we're told. But after 10,-it's probable his schedule won't be very much envied by any one. In the meantime, hell go on excursions with his governess, take part in sports and games, study the three Rs, follow his, flair for music and otherwise get a. lot of what other boys get, only more of it Decision of the royal couple to send Charles to school is somewhat of a compro mise with ancient and modern trends. Youth ful monarchs-to-be, until recent years, didn't get to mix much with boys their own age. Their studying was by tutor only. Now, there are those who believe the schooling for roy alty should be the same as for everyone else. But Charles will have a heavy load some day and special training certainly seems in dicated. Elizabeth and Phillip seem to have done well thus far in charting his course. State GOP to Select New Today Conrad Paulson and Miss Hat- tie Bratzel will represent the Marion County Republican cen tral comittee today at the GOP state central committee Portland meeting at which a new state chairman is to be named. , County Chairman 'Sidney Scfalesinger said Friday the Mar ion voting delegates will support' Wendel Wyttt, Astoria attorney, for state chairman. Wyatt is ap parently unopposed for the post from which Philip Englehart, Portland, has resigned. Henry Buehner, Portland at torney, is unopposed for state GOP treasurer, the only other post open. Lawrence Neault Baker, has resigned. The meeting will open at 10 ajn. in the Imeprial Hotel. Gov. Paul Patterson is expected to at tend and most busines probably will concern plans for the 1956 campaigns. . . Small Strawberries Feared as Result of Rapid Blooming Rate Something Fishy - When Tom Sandoz, president of Columbia River Packers association and bellwether of commercial fishing interests proposed abol ishing the two commissions, fish and game, and putting the whole fish authority in the hands of one commission he touched off Charlie Stanton of the Roseburg News-Review, one of the guardians of sports fishing interests. He cites , the split of control be tween the two commissions as due to the fact that' the" original single commission "refused recognition" to the sports fishery. He asserts too that under, the present fish commission "Oregon's commercial fishery has shown con tinuing and crtical decline," and imputes that this commission has been just a stooge for the commercial interests. So it looks as though the two commission deal will continue, though we are not sure whether either will have many fish to boss in a few more years of "civilization." No Charge for Advice The Corvallis Gazette-Times, which admits h has "a Republican leaning" (understate- rass . ment of the week), ventures to comment on Democratic possibilities for 1956. It gives the call now to Stevenson if he wants the presidential nomination, with Averell Harri man as runner-up, but points ahead to 1960 when some prophets foresee Walter Reuther heading a Labor-Democratic ticket. Then Editor Bob Ingalls comes up with this: If there is no favorite son in the wings seeking the vice-presidency we might sug gest that Wayne Morse is an effective speak er and campaigner. Many Oregonian Republi cans might be willing to vote for the Demo cratic ticket just to be rid of Wayne and most Oregonian liberals drool at the sight of his bushy eyebrows. This would also vacate a seat in the Senate for Maurine Neuberger to have a try at We are sure the Democrats will appreciate the G-T's solicitude. "Get wta. MaV . . .

President of the Senate Elmo Smith gives a hot retort and catalogs the accomplishments of the session. Sometimes a better test of a legislative ses sion is what it didn't do.

Gustaf- VIII and the Church. Naturally J. H. VanWinkle, editor of the Oregon City. Enterprise-Courier who is also chairman of the state game commission, would take note of legislation affecting game administration. He thinks the sportsmen got 'kicked in the teeth by the last legislature when it passed a law calling for collection of taxes from lands which the commission may acquire from the federal government for wildlife management purposes. Previously these lands iwere tax exempt and the E-C thinks it isn't cricket to make them taxable when they are shifted to another arm of gov ernment. Maybe the legislature had in mind raising thfr fee for sports shooting on these reserves to permit tax payment. Van Winkle hints a court test on the 1955 act. On first thought a person might jump to the conclusion that a trucker strike will help the railroads. So it will in some respects. But it will hurt the rails too, for trucks are needed to haul freight to and from the rail roads. A general truck tieup might cost the railroads freight business. If this one lasts very long we may be able to find out. its consequence to the rails. The Grants Pass Courier says: "There is only one new source of revenue and that is the sales tax, now employed by all but four or five states." It is true that the only large source of untapped revenue for Oregon is a general sales tax. However, as of Sept. 1, 1954, only 32 of the 48 states were collecting such a tax.

In Italy Mussolini healed the old breach between the Vat ican and the Quirinal which dated back to the unification of Italy and elimination of the for mer papal states, by entering into a concordat with the Cath olic church. Adolf Hitler was reared a Catholic but as dicta tor of Germany he dealt harsh ly with it as with other organ izations which failed to do his bidding. The present breach in Argentine has been building up for some time, and Peron is us ing friction over policy matters and labor controls to reduce the Swer of the Church by deny g it official status in Argen tine. Whether this means any greater tolerance for non-Cath olic groups is not clear, though use of repressive measures against them in Argentine has.

Rotary international club honor will be Gustafson, By LTLLIE L. MADSEN j Farm Editor, The States maa Strawberry fields around the val ley are looking very good with a huge number of blossoms coming on rapidly during the past few days. -In fact one processor's fieldman said that the blossoms were com ing on so much more rapidly than the foliage that some growers were earing smaller berries as a result Leaf growth is necessary to con tribute food to larger berries. An experiment is being carried out! in some fields where the plants are being given extra feedings of nitrogen in hopes of help the leaf situation along. Outlook promlslag So far, however, the crop out look gives promise of a better harvestfble yield than a year ago when so many of the berries rotted on the vine because of the continu ed damp weather at the wrong time for the berry growers. Some of the fieldmen report that if the dry weather of May continues, and we get a warm late May, the har vest season may be short and heavy. Advice is to speak for pick ers in- plenty of time. Everyone may want them at the same tune. Earliest picking, fieldmen agree, would be around June 10, with heavy picking not expected to start until around June 14 or 15. It is expected, too, that the inter val between Marshal and Northwest varieties in ripening, will be cut considerably shorter than in most years. The Marshals are usually several days ahead of the North west variety. The strawberry situation is prov ing that no amount of price fixing or acreage control ever quite sets the price pace as well as the old economic law of supply and demand. It looks like a 14 to 15 cent market for sometime to come. Overproduction is not here. The 1954 crop has been sold and there will be no carryover. While Oregon growers say they should have between 18 and 20 cents to "strike it rich," California reports it can do very well on the 14 or 15 cent price, which to Ore gon is merely comfortable. But as previously pointed out Cali fornia is rapidly increasing straw berry production. California, which used to be way down the line in comparison to Oregon so far as berry production was concerned, is now selling as many strawberries as Oregon and Washington com bined. So California now calls the price tune. Oregoa Production Up The production situation is sum med up by one of the larger sales' organizations thusly: Strawberry production in early eastern-southern areas is down 50 per cent Mid western states are up 15 per cent, California acreage is up 20 per . cent Washington up 12 per cent and Oregon up 13 per cent United States as a whole is up 12 per cent But what is more to the point is that not only California's acre age is up. Production per acre has increased even more. Oregon and Washington are still working to ward a heavier yield and are offering prizes to those making tha ; 5-ton strawberry club. California's average per acre runs three and our times above Oregon's average. (Outlook for other berries will be given Monday morning.)

WASHINGTON Since you left, domestic politics has been sound ing more and more like a cracked phonograph rec ord. Over and over again, the oracles ask the same three ques tions: Willi Ike run?

This performance tends to a certain monotony. i So does the performance on Capitol HilL Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson is no doubt tha most thoroughly professional Con gressional leader of our times. But that's just the trouble. He clips legislation through so quick ; ly and quietly that nobody no tices, or even cares very much. There has not been a single food loud row, since this session began. Sometimes one can't help feeling a certain nostalgia for the late Joseph R. McCarthy. Mc Carthy, incidentally, is so sunk without trace that its hard to be lieve that be was dominating the headlines when you left for abroad. i But the dizzying chopping and ehurniogs on the foreign front have more than made up for the dullness at home, that is if you prefer vertiga to tedium. If you had come straight back from For mosa about five or six weeks ago, you would have found the country in the grips of a tremendous war . scare. It was only about that long ago that Admiral Carney was talking about "war by April 15" and he was merely voicing the - most widely held official view, and had the bad kick to be un fairly used by our profession. Now the Far Eastern crisis, which yoo covered so ably, has taddenly disappeared from view, rather the way McCarthy has. Presumably it w still there, as preoamably McCarthy is. Bat as ta Us case, it Is considered tact- less to mention its existence. Waea Choa Ea-lal rather eoades ceadiagly remarked that he was wOhag to talk ta as, and the President aad Secretary Dalles (after some pretty confusion) re plied that we were willing to talk too, everybody sighed with re lief aad said, "Well, that's aver." It isn't really over at aO, of course, as I suspect you may point out, in your tactless way. But all concerned seemed to have agreed that the best policy for dealing with the Asia crisis is simply to pretend that H isn't there any more. If there is any other policy, I have been unable to find out what it is. Now the talk Is an af peace, ta oar time. The almost instant aneoas traasltloa from war scar to peace talk has beea a really amazing' phenomenon. At first, after the Rasslans signed the Aastriaa treaty aad agreed to the meeting at the sammit, all con cerned were very caatioas. From the President aad Mr. Dalles ea down, there were many warnings, against expecting miracles.

The surprises range from the big surprise of the Austrian treaty to the very small surprise of a Russian visa for myself, only a few weeks after we had been de nounced as warmongers in "Pravda."

Gains in lumbering, construc tion, service and governmental lines more than offset losses in ship repairing and paper prod ucts, according to estimates by the State Unemployment Com pensation Commission in cooper ation with the U. 5. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This marks the sixth successive month in which' year-ago figures have been ex ceeded. About 3,000 logging and saw mill workers returned to work during April, bringing the total engaged in wood products to 78. 200, nearly 2,000 higher than last year. Construction showed smaller gains over 1954 but would have increased more if most of the 4,000 workers at Tha Dalles dam site had not. been counted on the Washington side of the River.
