Gene Marsh Wins Plaudits for
Good Job As Senate Leader
By WLLIAM WARBEN
(Unit ma cotmrautai)
The 1SS3 Legislature man
aged to wind up its business
in a neat 100 days, and mem
bers of the Senate give a lot of
credit to a hard-working twin
from McMinnvllle Sen. Eu
gene E. Marsh. .'
Marsh is the second man in
. Oregon's history to serve as
both speaker of the House and
president of the Senate. The
other was Ben Selling of Port
land, who did It in reverse
Senate president first then
speaker of the House.
"Gene" has a twin brother,
Frank. They look so much
alike that you go up to Gene
and say "what's on the calendar
for tomorrow" and he'd reply
' with a 'grin: "I wouldn't know.
I'm Frank." . ; v,
But what do Senate leaders
think of Marsh as presiding ef
' fleer? .';
Well, we'll tell you, and If
you see one of the twins blush
ing, that's Gene.
First the only two former
Senate presidents serving in
i the session just - completed:
Sen. Howard Belton of Can
by: "Gent did a very outstand
ing job. As an able presiding
officer, he kept his fingers on
the pulse at all times and his
know-how speeded up the work
of the session so we could fin
ish when we did."
Sen. -Dean Walker of Inde
pendence: "Marsh was an ex
cellent presiding officer. The
outstanding feature of his ex
. ecutlve ability .was to.get things
done himself and to organize
things so that others could also
. get their tasks done. It was a
pleasure to watch him preside
and to see 'him handle 'every
parliamentary wingding the
boys could -throw at him."'
And how about the two men
who aspire to succeed Marsh
as Senate president in 1999T
Sen. Elmo E. Smith of John
Day: "Gene did as smooth a
job of presiding as I have seen.
The orderly manner in which
, the Senate conducted its busi
ness is a tribute to his leader
ship. His fairness and good
judgment held the admiration
of his colleagues through the
long and busy session."
Sen. Philip S. Hitchcock of
Klamath Falls: "I've been here
three sessions, and I've seen
- three guys preside as president
who were simply unbeatable.
Marsh, like his predecessors,
Paul Patterson and William E.
Walsh, conducted the entire ses
sion with dignity, fairness and
ability. It has been a fine ex
perience to work under all
three."
Let's get an eastern Oregon
farmers view. Heres Sen,
Roger Loennig of Baker coun
ty: "He really gave us a work
out. He did a fine job."

county attorney: "Gene did a
most excellent presiding jod.
It expedited the business of the
session and kept harmony in
the Senate through his impar
tial and fair leadership."
' Now an eastern Oregon pub
lisher, Sen, Stewart Hardie of
Condon: "We found Gene very
good, very thoughtful and very
fair. One thing about it, we
didn't mind working our heads
off because we knew Gene was
in there working just a little
harder."
How about the opposition?
Shall we give a couple of Demo
crats the floor?
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger of
Portland: "Marsh did the most
excellent job of presiding I
have seen in three sessions
here. ' Ha handled the gavel
vigorously and firmly. I think
he did even a better job on
handling parliamentary Issues
than either Paul Patterson or
Bill Walsh."
Sen. Phil ; Brady made his
feelings known to the entire
Senate in the closing hours of
the session Tuesday night. He
said: "My hat is off to you, Mr.
President. I have never seen
a fairer job of presiding than
you have given us. We of the
minority party were given ev
ery break and given important
places on committee assign
ments. To those of us in the
minority group it has been a
great privilege and pleasure to
serve, under you. I commend
you most highly."
And that's what leading sen
ators thought of their Senate
leader.
Is the guy blushing in Mc
Minnvllle? 1 Then it must be
Gene. If he's just smiling,
that's Frank.

as part of a general settlement
of Asiatic problems.
' Brownell said In an address
prepared for a nationwide
conference of Republican
women:
"I would not urge that we
settle all our problems before
we agree to an armistice in
Korea. It should be enough
to take one step at a time.
"Let us achieve an armistice
in Korea then move on to
Indochina and try 'ior an
armistice there, and then per
haps a general armistice.
"At that point possibly we
will have gained sufficient
confidence to work out a
settlement for the major
controversies."
