wanting to short -circwfl tha carruriittea.
Nest day tha Seaurta aaaaed tha Hells Canyon Bill with tha
help of southern levators who a year aga had opposed It. Whew
Republicans and some Oregon newspapers charged that Morae
had made a deal Morsa vehemently dewed it and Neu berger rasa
lo aii defense.
Al ii nil custom Morse had reprints af hit June M speech
mailed to many Oregoa rttuena. Ncobrrger took umbrage at the
repeated charge of "parliamentary expediency" which ha Mid ,
people ia Oregon interpreted as an bn plied attack on Neuberger,
wha had voted with tha Douglas group ia the wccaaaful maneuver
to bypasi tha committee. When Douglaa heard about this, ha
offered ta writ a letter of commendatioa In behalf of Neuberger
an civil rights Pleased at tha. Neuberger said he supplied Douglas
with addressee! aad. at Douglas' request, the neceoaary copies of
the letter inot more thai loo. said Neuberger i wen reproduced
in Neuberger s office for mailing
Wrote Douglas. "I want to tell yon what a tower of strength
Senator Neuberger has been throughout tkn whole battle. He hat
been one of the men wa could depend upon in every emergency."
What did he say about Morse'' Not a word.
Morse Calls Letter 'Snide Attack'
Morae'i reaction, when he got wind of H. was that the Dmiglai
letter was "a snide attack an ma " H told Neuberger so in a
formal letter.
Last week Morse nudged the affair into the open by putting the
Douglas letter, without explanation, into tha Congressional Record.
When asked why he did thu. Morse said, with tongue ia cheek,
he was always pleased ta sec hu junior colleague se handsomely
complimented.
Neuberger res to the challenge and. without explaaatioa, in
serted ia the Record I copy of Representative Kdith Green i June
newsletter in which she told of the, Senate s passage of the Hells
Canyon Bill "The Senate Victory is a great tribute to Senator
' Morae. has so effectively and courageously led thig fight for so
lung against terrific odds '
What did she say about Neuberger? Not a word
"I was stunned," Neuberger told me. "to know that he thought
the Douglas letter was a snide attack I wonder whether he
thinks Mrs. Green's newsletter it a snide attack on me. because
I was in the Held Cinyoa fight, to, and on the tame side with
Senator Morae."
"That i an argument by way af false analogy," replied Morse
He said he found no (ault with Mrs Gram I newsletter, and what
the Portland cnnsxesswomai sayt to bar constituents is one thing
and not analogous to a letter typed "na Neuberger s robot ypers '
that goea out to ' Neu berger I mailing bat" prauinj only Neuberger,
Senators Split on Civil Rights Vote
Whea the final vote on the CIvM Rights Bill came, the senator!
split again Neuberger arose and said he wotld vote for the bill,
"however limited aod modest" it had been made by amrndmr-nti.
He added:
"Whrr would thn nation be today If all senators during our
past history had allowed them selves the luxury of opposing each
piece af legislation which failed to dot every i or cross every t
to autt their awa particular taste?"
. "It is said." replied Men to the Senate, ' that half a loaf ia
better thai nothing But I Question whether in this bill there it
even half loaf." He concluded by saying "1 will never knowingly
vote for what 1 consider to be a sham "
A moment later Neuberger got np and recalled that the day
before he and Morae had voted for a Klamath Indian Rill tn delay
termination af federal control aver tha tribal reservation, even
though they War unhappy that Hi terrm had been watered down.
The Civil Rights Bill, concluded Neuberger. "il not everything H
ihould be, but I beilevi It It better than the existing vacuum in
this vital field."
Morae fired back that Neuberger wai agaia guilty of the fallacy
at falsa analog.
The other issue arose over Mora'! sharp criticism of President
Eisenhower for accepting valuable giftt, hick be said "ii politically
immoral " Neuberger. wha had winced but held hit tongue weeks
before when Morae compared Emenhower to Dave Beck, took the
Senate floor and laid:
"I ao not CTkirtu Mr. Eisenhower. B It not t Mam for this
situation. "
Tames and tempers change. What the future may bring, only
the foolhardy dare predict. But after three yean, the Morae
fieuberger political marriif hat entered the peat honeyrnoon pertod

Voters Reject High School Grade Barrier
To College; Ballot Sought on Death Term

report that the pets of a woman
were bothering several of her

Deputies said the pets consisted

Most valley residents believe
students should have a chance to
enter the state's institutions of
higher learning even if they didn't
make satisfactory grade in high
school
Thai was the collective consen
sus of The Statesman s Ballot
Boi survey of last Thursday.
In the main. Ihe answers seem
ed lo pretty well support the new
directive of the State Board of
Higher Education which has de
creed that entrance requirements
ihould be a minimum "C" aver
age in high school or one of these
alternatives passing of a college
aptitude test or a "Of" average
for i colleg summer session in
advance of a full collegiate
course
The question liked by the
SLalesmin Ballot Box was
"Do you believe admissioa 'ta
college i should be based entirely
on high school grades i. per
haps barring anyone with less
than a B, C or other prescribe!
sversgei, or ihould there be en
tnnce examinations to give 'bos
with lower grade a enhance?"
Of the many responses. 771
per cent wer in favor of provid
ing examinations, and thus i
chance for college entrance, for
anyone who might not he consid
ered qualified by their high
school grades
Those favoring going strictly
by grade! approximated II I per
cent.
Those who said they favored
both methods approximated I per
cent, but in many case among
those who voted lor examinations
it was indicated the high school
grade method of selection also
ihould be considered.
