Morse to Attend
CAB Hearing
Senator Wayne L. Morse plans
to attend the September 20 pre
hearing conference on tempor
ary suspension of United Air
Lines service in Salem and sub
stitution of services by West
Coast Air Lines.
The conference, set by the
civil aeronautics board, is to be
held in Washington, D.C. The
Oregon senator told the Capital
Journal, Saturday evening, he
is very much interested in the
situation as it affects Salem or
other such service in Oregon.
Senator Morse expects to re
turn to the national capital this
week, although his departure
may be delayed a few days due
to his accident at the State Fair
horse show, Saturday night. In
any event, he expects to be at
his office before the prehearing
conference and be on hand at
that time to study the case.
The city of Salem has sent
the CAB a petition to intervene,
seeking to have United Air
Lines service continued.

horse stadium, occurred about
10 p.m. Saturday during the
roadsters $500 stake event and
knocked Senator Morse unconscious.
It was the second spill of the
horse show for Senator Morse.
Thursday evening during the
roadsters event he was tossed
out of his vehicle without injury,
quickly reharnessing Sir Laurel
Guy and taking his place in the
lineup, the horse winning his
fourth blue ribbon in the horse
show roadsters class.
Many persons in the crowd
packed stadium Saturday night
were there to see Morse and his
horse especially, expecting them
to make a clean sweep of the
roadsters class and win the grand
championship ribbon.
The contest was well into the
speedy "rack" gait when the ac
cident came, powerful Sir Laurel
Guy being a magnificant and
awesome sight as he pounded
away in the race.
Just as the Morse four-wheel
ed rig neared the ring's south
east bend, it was observed to
swerve, then suddenly Senator
Morse was flat on the tanbark.
face downward and motionless.
The horrified spectators leap
ed to their feet and for a second
there was a stunned silence, the
only commotion being the speed
ing horses in the ring. Sir Laurel
Guy, driverless, bolting on
around to the west side before
being stopped.
Men jumped from the seats
above Senator Morse and ring
officials ran to him to protect
him from the oncoming horses,
and soon other spectators gath

Paul Flynn, Los Angeles, judge
at the show, called for a line-up

Eugene friends and neighbors,

unconscious, however, and did
not regain complete conscious
ness until en route to the hos

Senator Morse's family ex
pressed great relief that his
clothing had not caught in the
vehicle, otherwise the senator
might have been dragged as the
horse sped away.
One of Senator Morse's fellow
drivers In the contest, stopping
at the press box later, said:
"There were some who told Sen

evening's event because of the
Thursday accident , . . But you
know Wayne and his sense of
sportsmanship . , , He's not a
quitter, and he's a fighter . . .
And he didn't want any one to

Mrs. Morse remained at the
hospital throughout Sunday,
