Arrests suggested as positive way to call
attention of some people to garbage pits
The practice of scattering garbage
over the Central Oregon landscape and
leaving it to rot in the sun was con
sidered at a two-county conference in
Redmond recently.
Jack A. Mcintosh, acting district
manager of the U. S. Bureau of Land
Management, called the meeting. Coun
ty and city officials were present. Fed
War lands, managed by the BLM, are
suffering from the Indiscriminate dis
posal of garbage, as are some private
lands.
Incidentally, the garbage is not all
of the kitchen variety. Frequently dead
animals are dumped on government,
state, county or private acreage.
Pits and approved dumps, provid
ed by the counties, apparently do not
solve the problem. People can't drive
the extra few hundred yards. They
dump their refuse in the roadside
brush.
Areas, around dumps were found
strewn with decaying carcasses and
other garbage, creating a serious health
menace. In some places, garbage is be
ing dumped within view of arterial
highways.
What can be done about these fes
tering, unauthorized dumps?
Officials agree that possibly some
people are not aware of the location
of the approved pits. A wide publicity
campaign was suggested, to acquaint all
with the location of the sites. Maps will
be prepared.
Also, it has been proposed that at
tention be called to unsightly, unauth
orized dumps through pictures.
Here is another suggestion:
A little law enforcement, with ap?
rests and publicity, might be tried. It'
is not difficult to trace a garbage heap
back to Its owner.
In any pile of refuse from the home,
there are telltale items. Empty pre
scription bottles frequently find their
way Into the garbage. They Invariably
hold names. There are sale slips with
names. Discarded envelopes bearing
names often show up in garbage. The
dumbest detective can trace most gar
bage back to Us source of origin.
A good many years ago when grow
ing Bend was having its garbage trou
bles, with refuse tossed from cars or
scattered near roads or street, city of
ficials frequently traced the garbage to
the owners. Generally there were no ar
rests, but orders went out to clean up
or else. .
In one case, a forest official found
some garbage beside a forest road, just
west of Bend. He found evidence of
ownership, had one of his men load the
garbage in a truck and dumped it on
the front lawn of the owner.
George Rakestraw, Redmond, depu
ty Deschutes district attorney, attend
ed the recent conference. He noted that
offenders, If convicted, are liable to
fines up to $500 and jail sentences.
Full publicity should be given to
the location of authorized pits and
dumps. Then federal, state and county
officials might try something that ap
parently has not been tried in the past:
Arrests might be made of persons
who scatter their garbage over the
landscape, v

WASHINGTON - Drama such
as the Senate seldom sees took
place behind the scenes when the
world's No. 1 deliberative body
finally refused confirmation of a
cabinet member for one of the
few times in history. Seldom does
the public get any sense of this
drama. They see the senators de
bate on the floor. They feel the
tenseness of the voting. But not
even the press is permitted in
Senate cloakrooms. However,
here is what happened backstage
as the Senate voted on Lewis L.
Strauss as Secretary of Com
merce.
Republican leaders were hud
dling with GOP leader Sen. Ever
ett Dirksen of Illinois. They had
three absentee senators, whose
votes they badly needed. One of
them, Thruston Morton of Ken
tucky, could get back to vote by
commercial plane, the others,
Wallace Bennett of Utah and Mil
ton Young of North Dakota, could
not except by military jet.
A call was made to the White
House. Gen. Jerry Persons, who
replaced Sherman Adams as as
sistant president, was asked to
rush two Air Force jets to the
rescue. Persons demurred. He
said there were only two in the
country.
Unbeknownst to the others, Sen.
N'orris Cotton of New Hampshire
walked into another office, picked
up the phone and called Admiral
Strauss.
"Do you want to be confirm
ed?" he asked. "If so, you'd bet
ter call the White House and put
the heat on them for two jets."
Strauss-did. The two jets, one
a tanker, the other a Jet trainer,
brought Bennett and Young to
Washington at the taxpayers'
expense.
Republican Filibuster
As early as June 12, Sen. Lyn
don Johnson had asked for unani
mous consent for a Senate vote,
He kept repeating the request. On
one occasion. Sen. Wayne Morse,
Democrat of Oregon, objected,
said he wanted to speak at length.
Finally, Johnson called Morse
aside. "Let's let the Republicans
do the objecting," he advised.
'They aren't ready for a vote;
and they want to put the excuse
on you."
"All right," replied Morse. "I'll
stay off the floor, or stay on the
floor, or do whatever you say."
Johnson then asked unanimous
consent to vote after eight hours
of debate, divided equally. Re
publicans looked hopefully at
Morse, but he made no objection.
Reluctantly GOP leader Dirksen
rose. "I am afraid 1 must object,"
he said.
It was after this that Republi
cans frantically called the White
House to get jet planes to bring
in their absent senators.
During the night debate which
followed. Vice President Nixon
was huddling backstage trying to
change some votes. Presiding
over the Senate in his place was
Sen. Bob Bartlett, Alaska Demo
crat. Suddenly Nixon instructed
Sen. Andy Schoeppel, Kansas Re
publican, to order Bartlett out of
the chair and take over himself.
What Nixon teared was a mo
tion by Senator Johnson to table
the Strauss appointment. This
could not be debated. It would
mean an immediate vote with
three GOP senators absent. So
Nixon wanted a Republican pre
siding over the Senate, not a Dem
ocrat who might rule favorably
to Johnson.
Jehnsen Gives a Vote
Johnson, however, had no real
Intention of calling for a vote to
table the Strauss nomination. Pri
vately he told Dirksen:
I m not going to rule out
motion to table," he said, "but
I'll give you my word that you'll
get plenty of advance notice if I
do."
"That's fair enough," Dirksen
replied. He urged, however, that
the vote go over until the next
day.
"No." replied Johnson. "You've
been yelling for t vote. And we're
going to vole tonight I've been
accused of harassing and perse-

cuting this man. I've been trying
to get a vote for a week and we'U
get one tonight. You say your last
senator. Milt Young, will be here
at 3:30 a.m. We'U wait for him
and then vote."
Sen. Tom Kuchel of California,
Republican whip, came over to
the desk of Sen. Clint Anderson
of New Mexico who had been
masterminding Democratic strat-j
egy. "How do you see it?" he
asked.
"As I see it," replied Ander-;
son, "Lyndon Johnson has put you
In one heck of a box. Here is the
great liberal, Senator Javits of
New York, who crusaded against;
filibusters, now filibustering. Hcrei
Is Goldwater filibustering. If you.
Republicans want to filibuster for
two or three days you've set a
pattern for us and wo can con-:
tinue. If you don't want to vote
now on your man, we can hold
up the vote indefinitely." I
Actually, Dirksen knew the Re-,
publicans didn't have the votes
even with all three absentees!
present. He was stalling for time. 1
The Johnson forces thought they:
had the votes, but weren't quite!
sure. Inside a room just off the
Senate, Harry Byrd of Virginia'
Jim Eastland of Mississippi, andj
Bob Kerr of Oklahoma, all Demo
crats, were sitting over their bour- j
Don, masterminding strategy lor
the Strauss Republicans.
Goldwater Explodes
A Senate functionary who had
been with them finally brought out
the word: "They've only got 48
votes, and they re counting on
Muskie (Maine) and Williams (N.
J.)."
The Johnson forces knew these
two Democratic Senators had
made up their minds to vote
against Strauss. That made 46
votes for Strauss, even after
Young of North Dakota returned.
So with Young still flying toward
Washington, Johnson approached
Dirksen and offered to give the
Republicans one pro - Strauss
Democratic vote. That was why
Mansfield of Montana, who was
present, paired with the absent
Young.
The vote was called. Nixon was
in the chair ready to break a tie.
But there was no tie. It came out
as anti-Strauss forces expected
49 to 46 against him.
Sen. Barry Goldwater was livid
with rage. Jumping to his feet he
approached Sen. George Smathers
of Florida, Democrat, who had
voted against Strauss. Without
saying a word Goldwater rushed
Smathers, his fists out. Smathers,
who Is lean and athletic, turned
the Arizona senator aside with his
shoulder as a football runner
turns off a tackier.
"What's the matter with you?"
he asked. "Do you want to step
outside?"
Senator Goldwater apparently
had expected Smathers to vote for
Strauss, and was so wrought up
he lost control of himself. He turn
ed and left the Senate floor.

To the Editor:
1 appreciate your favorable
comments about me in the edi
torial in the Bend Bulletin of May
29th.
Let me assure you definitely
that I have no intention whatso
ever of becoming trapped in a
name-calling contest with Senator
Morse. I could not possibly match
his invective. Furthermore, such
a spectacle could only bring dis
repute to our state In general.
It is my opinion that Senator
Morse has now denounced and
abused so many different people
in unbridled terms, that the gen
eral public is quite able to ap
praise accurately his latest on
slaught against me.
After having suffered the kind
of serious illness I have under
gone, I think one gains a per
spective on political feuding which
reduces it to proper proportions
and those proportions are very
small and unimportant indeed,
Furthermore, I was greatly
pleased with your editorial giving
your own roster of favorite
places in Oregon. I imagine Ore
gon is the kind of place where
each of its 1,700,000 residents
could compile a different list and
still be well within the realm of
plausibility.
With warm regards, I am
Sincerely,
Richard L. Neuberger
United States Senator
Washington, D.C.,
June 20, 1959
To The Editor:
Oregon newspapers have quot
ed Senator Morse's administrative
aide in Oregon, Charles Brooks
as saying: "I am guided in my
support of a Democratic candi
date for office by this rule of
thumb. If a candidate has the sup
port of the reactionary newspap
ers of Oregon his course of ac
tion and-or remarks are contrary
to the essential creed of libera
lism." This is evidently a reference to
the fact that some leading Oregon
newspapers have, at various
times, supported and commented
favorably upon certain legislative
programs, sponsored by Senator
Neuberger. One editor said, "It's
obvious he Is criticising Neuber
ger." Inasmuch as Mr. Brooks'
statement has been distributed
for publication, comment by mo
seems appropriate.
As a former wire-service report
er and publisher myself, I believe
such an indictment of the Oregon
press is unfair. Moreover, use of
guilty-by-association against any
candidate who enjoys some de
gree of newspaper support is an
unwise and perilous political cre
do, in my judgment.
To begin with. Senator Morse
himself had widespread press en
dorsement during his successful
Senatorial campaigns of 1944 and
1950 far more press support,
for example, than Senator Neu
berger ever has received.
Secondly, many Oregon Demo
crats have been endorsed by
prominent papers in their cam
paigns. Congresswoman Edith
Green was recommended for re
election last year by both Port
land daily newspapers, The Ore
gon Journal and The Oregonian.
Does this automatically rule her
out as a liberal under the rule of
thumb suggested by a member of
Senator Morse's Oregon staff?
Among other Democrats who
have had considerable newspaper
backing at various times are Con
gressman Charles O. Porter, Con
gressman Al Ullman, Mayor Ter
ry Schrunk, Sheriff Francis Lam
ber, Treasurer W. W. Campbell,
State Senator Harry Boivin, State
Senator Bob Straub, State Sena
tor Alt Corbett, State Senator
Walter Pearson, Speaker Bob
Duncan, State Senator Ward H.
Cook, State Senator-Jean Lewis
and many, many others. I doubt
many Democrats want to be told
that these prominent party mem
bers deserved defeat because of
newspaper backing which they re
ceived. At any rate, wholesale abuse of
the Oregon press is not deserved
merely because some editors have
looked with favor on Dick Neu
berger's work in the Senate. From
my observations in and out of
the profession Oregon is bless
ed with a high caliber of jour
nalistic ethics, compared with
many other areas of the nation.
I will continue to hold this view
whether or not newspapers en
dorse his actions. My attitude is
not likely to change his political
fortunes, however, because Ore
gonians have demonstrated time
and again that they do not vote
on the basis of any rule of thumb
dictated by others. They are like
ly to continue the historic prac
tice of making up their own
minds. I think you will agree that
this is the best way for public of
ficials to be selected.
Sincerely,
Lloyd Tupling

Superman death
probe planned
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - Famed
attorney Jerry Giesler said today
he has been retained to investi
gate the shooting death of actor
George Reeves, television's "Su
perman." Mrs. Helen Lescher Bcssolo of
Galesburg, 111., contacted Giesler
and said she wanted a complete
investigation into her son's death
last Tuesday.
"I just can't believe George
would commit suicide," she said.
Police said Reeves took his own
life in his Benedict Canyon home.
Mrs. Bessolo said she spoke to
her son a day before the shooting,
and according to Giesler, this ap
parently is what led her to pursue
the matter further.
Space ship
research
is revealed
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Re
search is underway In a top-secret
U.S. project to develop a 1,000-ton
space ship propelled by "atomic
firecrackers.1' ;
The project was outlined Sunday
by Air Force and scientific sources
who described the idea as "some
thing like setting off firecrackers
behind a tin can only this will
use one hell of a powerful fire
cracker." The Advanced Research Proj
ects Agency (ARPA), which has
a one million dollar study under
way at the John Jay Hopkins Lab
oratory of General Dynamics In
San Diego, Calif., has revealed
only that it is proposed to drive
the craft "by a series of small
nuclear explosions." '
Sources here said the Idea was
"as simple as it sounds."
"You just set off atomic bombs
behind the ship," a scientist said.
"Not all at once, but in small
packages in order to control the
ship's acceleration."
The informants, who declined to
be identified because of the tight
security wraps on the project,
said studies were underway into
several ways of designing such a
craft. ;
