Morse himself, according to the Eugene Register-Guard, says it was a three-hour affair. The United Press story called it four but that must have been the reaction of a weary re porter. A columnist says the talk began at 5:30 and the nenate adjourned on that day at 7:43 which would indicate a talking time of two hours plus. First referring to the negative vote on the labor bill by Senators Langer, Morse and Malone the columnist said : The above mentioned voluble and equestrianic Morse also reared up on his hocks at 5:30 p. m. of a long legislative day and proceeded to whinny for an' hour and a hall on reclamation. ihe oratorical Orcgonian proved so spellbinding that, one . after another, his fellow senators deserted the floor until only Wallace H. White, Jr., of Maine was left. Junior White stuck around because he is a cute stripling of 70 and somewhat averse ro moving once he Is comfortably squatted. '. Senator Morse, who brought his horse with him when he came to congress, although many contend he should have sent the nag and remained home himself, succeeded in making his speech drier than most of the areas he wants reclaimed. By tne time he was half through, even the hired help was suffering from the drouth and dozing off in corners. When the ordeal was ended, one of the sufferers got up and brushed the sleep from his eyes. "iiou know," he observed, "it's too bad Morse couldn't have paired off with somebody. If Morse's horse were here it would vote 'neigh'." Having learned from this columnist of the empty chamber to which Oregon's junior senator addressed his remarks we were interested by the atjtitude of Senator O'Mahoney as reported in the following U.P. story on Tuesday : Washington, May 20 HPi The subject before the senate was absenteeism, especially by senators who walk out or stay away when a colleague is making a long speech. Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney, D., Wyo., brought up the sub ject rather abruptly. He was speaking on the pending science bill. Suddenly he stopped and counted the house. There were only 22 senators present, including O'Mah mey. He said he just wasn't going to v waste his time making a speech with so few around. O'Mahoney thinks it is a waste of time to talk with only 22 senators present Morse is willing to talk to three. Bend's Yesterdays (From Tha Bulletin Files) FIFTEEN YEARS AGO (May 21, 1932) Practically all ice has disap-j peared from fc.lK lake, Allen.wit coxon, proprietor of Elk lake re sort, reported today. H. R. Schanno was stunned and temporarily blinded and five of his sheep were killed this week when a bolt of lightning struck a tree about six miles northeast of Bend. Bend's new half-mile racetrack Will bejused tf or Jhe first time to morrowi.' "Tfie track is located at the old brickyard two miles west of town. . " Washington Column By Veter Ktlsoti tNKA Washington CornapondVnt) . Washington. D. C. The Na tional Association of Manufactur. ers News and the Congress of In dustrial Organization News both hit the desk on the same day. Both are weekly tabloid newspa pers of about eight pages. NAM News is printed on slicker paper though It's a little duller in con tent. Both are "must" reading for anyone trying to keep up on Washington affairs and wanting to know what the labor and man agement lobbies are up to. Both go in for poison pen journalism. Both make anyone who reads them religiously sick at his stom ach. Waaaa! Each is extremely critical of the other's point of view. If you take the trouble to compare their coverage of the same story, it's almost impossible to recognize that they're trying to tell you about the same thing. All they have in common is that they both seem to hate the government, bad. Here's a sample, on current high prices: Says CIO News under a head ing, "Reaction, Recession Threaten America," quoting Ralph Helstein of the Packing house Workers: "We were prom ised that normal competitive forces -would bring prices down once OPA was destroyed. Since OPA was destroyed, living costs have risen 20 per cent and the government as yet has not taken any firm action against unlimited profiteering. The present dis parity between wages and prices contains the seed for an economic catastrophe which would exceed any experience by our nation." . Says the NAM News under the heading, "Bunting Fixes Price Blame," quoting NAM president Earl Bunting. "Mr. Truman him self can do more than anyone else to reduce inflation by cut ting government spending and re ducing taxes. How can business men help by careful planning when no prudent businessman can plan safely with any knowl edge of what his wage, material, or other costs may be 24 hours ahead. Why not put the great influence of the administration behind labor legislation to remove the major uncertainties in pre ! sent-day costs." I When it comes to glaring tncon I sistencies, both of these scandal sheets rate a couple of pew-litzer prizes. . . -NAM News says CIO is con ducting an amazing campaign of I intimidation. NAM News views V. -cM nn a nil hit with alarm the fact that CIO News brags it has distributed half a million copies of a pamphlet called "Defend Your Union" and a quarter of a million copies ol Phil Murray's "Crisis," warning that anti-labor legislation Is the first rval step toward U. S. fascism. , Yet on the first page of this same issue, NAM News banners a story about it drive to collect $3 million for a "dynamic public relations program to curry in dustry's message to the American people. While complaining about this NAM propaganda, the CIO News still thinks it's ull right to collect a slush fund to help defeat pending labor bills. Labor and management 'aren't going to get along any better if they keep Jawing at each other in this kind of cheap journalism. Competing newspapers used to do this, years ago, and considered it smart. Today It's bad taste and bad business. Good newspapers today know that they have to give both sides. If an editor follows a conserva tive policy, he hires a liberal columnist or two. And vice versa. Presenting both sides of an argu ment is the best way to help the public decide which is best. This Is an idea which both la bor and management house or gans could adopt with profit. The greatest improvement which the labor press could make would be to make some boss a guest con tributor every issue. The great est improvement the managerial press could make would be to hire some good labor skate as a colum nist. Neither of them will ever do any such thing. But it's still a good idea. If adopted, there might be some possibility that some day labor and management could un derstand that they have a com mon problem.

County Budget Group Confers lVsclmles county's budget com mittee organized at the court house last night for its work of providing for county expenses for ihe coming fiscal year, electing A. J. Glnssow of Uend as Its chair man, E. C. Parker of Redmond as secretary and receiving and compiling preliminary requests, mostly representing Increases, for tppropriations. The committee, whose other members it re C. L. Mien, county Judge, E. E. Varco tnd A. E. Stevens, county commis sioners, and John Ilohnstein of Alfalfa, had no Information as to "stlmated cash on hand or rev enues to be expected outside of taxation, except in the case of the road budcet. It took no action on any of the requests submitted, announcing that it. w ill start work 'n earnest at a meeting, also to be held at the courthouse, which will be called to order at 1 o'clock Wednesday. May 28. Budget I'reticnied I.areest of all butli'et prnpnsnls t"vsonted was that for relief. In dicating that the welfare commis sion intends to attend $Ui7,(U"-l a few hundred dollars less than the entire eountv levy for this vear in Deschutes county In the Htming year. Of this amount, a breakdown showed. $5ti..'M2 would come from federal funds, $SO. VO 16 from the state while $30. 'S1 -M would be roulred of the county. Under 1917 Oregon legis 'ation. Judge Allen told the com mittee, the welfare commission lecldes the amount which the county must provide. Next larrest was the road hud net, tentatively figured at SS2. VO bv Roadmnster George McAl lister. Motor vehicle license money nd national forest timber sales would more than cover this figure, he said, and suggested that it mieht b possible to increase the construction program now under consideration and the budget. Other I'Wnnt Udted Lerislated salary Increases for elected officers, requests for pay additions by appointed personnel, uoward revisions renuested for he various services financed by the eountv, Including the health unit, eountv agent, home demon strator and 4-H club agent, all entered Into the picture. So, too, did Jude Allen's request for an other S25.000 to be added to the amount appropriated last year for a home for the aged. How much bigger the budcet might be, the committee had lit tle idea. It expected to find out more about that at the meeting next week.
