Oregon's Senator Wayne Morse has evt dently developed a persecution complex, a natural corol , lary, and conjures op dastardly plots against him by those who fall to accept hia gospel and chant nia praises. Wednesday night in his absurd weekly report on hia "Independent party" consisting only of Morse himself, he attacked the Associated Press, as "a slanting news report ing service with a bunch of clever writers skilled in the nse of snide, reputation assassinating adjectives" before an almost emntv senate. Morse followed with an attack on the "American Press aa a whole" which had failed to present his position "on any issue in the UJ3. senate." Yet most newspapers have quoted him at length, and correctly as a comparison with his printed speeches in the Congressional Record shows. He followed with an attack on the newspapers of Oregon on similar grounds excepting only the Medford Mail- Tribune, his chief Dress sycophant. Many of the Oregon newspapers take the United Press, some of them like the Capital Journal, take both the AP and the UP and there is no vital difference in their reports of Morse's speeches and actions. What Morse is really sore about is that his long harangues are not printed in full, because of limited space. That s nu fault. And most of tnem are length? repeti tions of what he has many times said and therefore not news. ' Webster defines news as: Something strange or new happen ed aoveltlea; a information about something before un known; fresh tidings, recent Intelligence. ; The following is a condensation of the United Press report on Morse's latest blast against fellow Oregonians, which will probably appear later in the Congressional Record and later be reprinted and distributed by mail by Morse in Oregon :- ' Hie Oregon Independent charged on the senate floor that the administration ia the representative, not of the people, but monopoly." And be said the people are being 'short changed by the new administration." i But it was a fellow Oregonian that bore the brunt of Morie'i attack. He accused Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay of serving as a "stooge oi the private utilities monopoly ox America." Morse's speech, made In an almost empty chamber, was sprinkled with barbed attacks on the administration in general ana McKay in particular. At one point, ne said one oi mc . Kay's statements showed "a shocking lack of political morality that characterises the Eisenhower administration.'' ; The Associated Press report says: Morse called Secretary McKay a "stooge of the prhate utili ties monopoly." Patterson, he said, was a "voice of the pri vate utilities" as far as developing Oregon's natural resources is concerned. - After verbally flaring McKay. Morse turned to Governor Patten an, charging: "He plays the ssme game McKay plays 4k nrlvai ntllUlaa Mm " ,' Mom is aa skilled as any clever press writer "in the use of snide, reputation assassinating" and his targets are men with as lofty ideals as President Eisenhower and hia distinguished cabinet G. P, HOME TOWN BOY MAKES GOOD Election of Norris Poulaon as mayor of Los Angeles Tuesday is a success story that has its roots in Oregon. . Thirty years ago Poulson was an energetic young farmer 1 In Baker county, which he left to seek his fortune in southern California. ' After some years of business activity Poulson went into politics, boldly challenging the dominant Roosevelt new deal and its supporters in Los Angeles, where it waa par- ticularty strong. ' Poulson pulled bo punches. He went after the radicals with a meat axe and was so treated by them. He sought the congressional seat in a district where it was difficult , for a conservative Republican to win, but he did win. perhaps by his very audacity. He was defeated after hia first term, but came back to win regularly thereafter, for a total of five terms. i Poulson had made his mark in the house of represen tatives, but he sought the hard, tough course aa he had in making a fight for this office the first time. He went after a still bigger prize, the mayoralty of Los An- relet, held by the supposedly unbeatable Fletcher Bow ron, who had held the job through 15 turbulent years. He led Bowron in the primary, almost but not quite cllncning election wen, and trounced the mayor by 35, 000 in the runoff. i This writer remembers Poulson in Baker county and his espousal of an Eisenhower candidacy when the writer last saw him several years ago when Poulson visited Idaho with a reclamation committee of congress. "The thing that makes me so sure we should nominate Eisenhower," Poulson confided, "is that whenever I talk to a Demo crat I find he is the one man the Democrats don't want na to nominate." Courage of hia convictions that never falters whatever the odds, plus unusual energy and aggressiveness are re sponsible lor Foulson's remarkable political success. He will need an these qualities in his new off ice. ONE CLEARHEADED FRENCHMAN Not many present day Frenchmen of either high or low degree have what the Scottish poet Bobbie Burns called the ability "to see ourselves as others see us." ; Fomer Premier Paul Reynaud, one of France'e most distinguished lesders, who really can without exaggera tion be called a statesman, is one of these. For when Reynaud was asked to try to form France's next cabinet be called his country "the sick man of Europe." a term Invented by a Russian cxar long ago to describe aultan ruled Turkey. ,; Reynaud painted what the dispatches called a black picture, of a country which he said is suffering from a inoral as well as an economic and political crisis. He might have added that the moral crisis is largely respon aMtty for France's inability to cope with the other two. , The franc has lost nine-tenths of Its value since the war, after losing about nine-tenths of Its pre-1914 value prior to that time, and as a consequence French prices are the highest In the world. What this does to the national economy can be better Imagined than described. Raynaud insisted that he won't try to form a cabinet gnlesa the constitution is revised to give the government gore power so it won't constantly be at the mercy of thaM ttcamnf ernes precipitated by political blocs.

For the new termi are so dote to the communist own proposal that they will not be able to turn it down with out appearing completely in sincere about a Korean peace. All the U. N. allies fighting in Korea have agreed to the new proposal except South Ko rea's stubborn President Syng man Rhee. who flatly rejected it He also instructed the South Korean negotiators to boycott the truce meeting. This could monkey-wrench the entire arm istice, since Rhee now com mands a South Korean army powerful enough to continue fighting on its own. In fact, the defiant Rhee was clamoring to launch his own offensive against the commu- ntiti until Gen. Mark Clark talked him out of it. The South Korean leader has been so balky that Ambassador Rob ert D. Murphy, who was all set to come home, has been kept on u sn adviser toGeneral Clark for the sole purpose of soothing the ruffled Rhee. Another handicap to the . truce talks is the determined opposition of the small, vocal band of Asls-f irst senators, led by California's outspoken Wil liam Know land. At this writ ing, Asla-firsters were trying to arrange a meeting between Senator Knowland and the newly appointed chairman of the Joint chiefs of staff, Adm. IY DREW f CARSON Arthur Radford, in an attempt to toughen the U. N. truce terms. . . India to Be Umpire Meanwhile, the detailed truce terms are as follows: 1. India to be chairman of the five-nation armistice com mission. Other member: Swe den, Switzerland, Czechoslo vakia, Poland. , All decisions to be settled by a majority of three. This means India would be the referee, could cast the deciding vote. 2. A two-month time limit for starting the machinery to screen prisoners of war. Each prisoner would be screened by lull. live-nation board, ana each case would be decided by a majority vote. o prisoner would be forced to return home against his will. The question of what to do with the unwil ling prisoners would be left to political conference. II the conference failed to reach a de cision, the prisoners would be turned over to the United Na tions to be freed. . 3. The communists would have access to their prisoners in allied camps, but under armed supervision so that they could not intimidate prisoners to return home sgainst their wilL 4. We rejected the Commu nist proposal that Poland and Czechoslovakia should send troops to Korea to help super vise the armistice. Instead we propose the policing should be done by India.

Sedwick Post No. 10, Salem, Grand Army of the Republic, was organized in Salem dur ing September, 1882, and since the first election of officers 721 veterans of the Civil War have been inscribed on its rec ords. At present 94 names are on the roster. Four members, J. L. Stockton, Elmore Y. Chase, John Herdlln and John W. Pratt died during the past year. Larry Sullivan, one time mil lionaire but more recently a night watchman Is near death In a Portland hospital. He was a politician, once a profession al boxer of note, accumulated near $3,000,000 in Nevada gold fields snd for years conducted a sailor's boarding house in Portland. More recently, be cause of reduced circumstances, he has worked as a night watchman In a Portland, shipyard.

It Is estimated that 40 per cent of the popula tion is affected. The disease resembles influenza. So far there have been no fatalities but the greatest alarm is felt Running for the job of being city. alderman need not be ex pensive. Paul V. Johnson got through for ISc. A. H. Moore, without previous experience spent 20c for an application blank but, to make sure of his job, spent $2 more for cards to pass around. It cost Earl Race just $4.40 to make the race for city recorder. . Now that Oregon is wheat less so far as the good house keeper is concerned file next question is the cost of substi tutes snd this is where the weekly table allowance of the housewife will play in hard luck. Wheat flour used to sell for 6c a pound. Substitute flour such ss oats, barley and corn will cost about 8 He. Unless this is done neither he nor anyone else can 'do France any good and it would be folly to try, Reynaud indicated, again showing his perception of what ails his country. Then the French assembly rejected Reynaud" condi tions, confirming his gloomy diagnosis of the country's ills, which seem insoluble except through drastic reform measures the French politicians won't take. And this wobbly country is our chief ally on the continent of Europe. i fer, though they are almost the same as last year's Indian com promise which we had accept ed. They are so close to the Red terms they should almost certainly lead to an armistice -ft the Communists sincerely want one. If the Reds reject our pro posal, however, the U.N. .has agreed to call tor a "permanent recess." This would mean breaking off the truce talks. though without closing the door in case the Communists should change their minds and decide to accept our terms. Big Carrier Waste If Congress and the Ike ad ministration want to balance the budget without jeopardiz ing national defense they will have to abandon the present uncoordinated system of par celing out money to the arnied services. In the past, the Joint Chiefs of Staff merely allotted appro priations to the Army, Navy, and Air Force, letting the in dividual service decide how each should spend its own share. Thus the Navy didn't pass on what types of airplanes the Air Force bought, nor did the Army or Air Force say any thing about the type of airplane carriers the Nevy built Under the current strict rules against interservlce bick ering, no criticism or opposi tion is allowed. As a result, Congress has heard only one aide of the story regarding cer tain weapons, such as atomic artillery and supercarriers. If the real purpose of Army Navy unification is to be car ried out, however, and if the budget Is to be cut without en dangering national security, it wiu De necessary lor some top umpire to knock admirals' and generals' heads together in order to figure out the weap ons that give most protection for the fewest dollars. Best illustration of this Is the supercarrier. Pride of the Navy, used to impress solons on congressional junkets, it nevertheless remains a fact that the latest carriers cannot squeeze through the Panama Canal and that a carrier force costs seven times more money, takes nine times more manpow er and uses 13 times more fuel than tn equivalent group of Air Force bombers. Small carriers are in a dif ferent category. They are cheaper, are more efficient, get around with less protection, and are definitely needed to battle enemy submarines. (CopTTltJt. 1K1 SHOULDN'T BE NECESSARY (Astorlan Budget) The proposed Seaside or dinance to make it unlawful to lock children in parked vehi cles is commendable. It is amazing that such an ordinance should be found necessary, yet so many mod ern parents can't be bothered by the problems of child care that a municipality finds it necessary to enforce the duties of parenthod in this drastic fashion. If the police break windows in a few parked cars to rescue children abandoned therein, they will probably do a great deal to discourage this almost criminal practice. 8UNNYSIDE STORK Sunnyslde R.

One morning, I asked ber to tell me the story of her life, snd she laughed and said, "Oh, it would till a book." But she sat down, and over a cup of tea she told me this: "I came oi a urge lamuy and went to work at 14, and I have been working ever since. I married at 17. and have lived 38 years in the same rented house. '1 have eight boys and one girl, snd I lost another girl -rounc. Most of my me i worked in a laundry ironing. When you've got a big family, you must try one way and then another. But my husband and I always share the same purse. "I feel very lucky, consia- erlng I had six boys in the war.

My last two sons served after the war, and they are now back at home. Sometimes l iron 13 shirts for them. They wear a shirt every other day not that it is necessary, but they know mother will always do for them. "For five years during the war I worked in the gas works as a stoker, a bricklayer's help er, and as a yard laborer. "It was very heavy work. "A bomb landed In our back yard. The house was so badly damaged they wouldn't even take rent from ua for - eight months no windows, no roof. We lived in the basement "I used to sit in the shelter at night and wonder if we would ever all be together again. I don't think I could go through all that time again. No, I couldn't As you get older there are some things you cannot do. ' "When I left the gas works I had got along well there they gave me a tribute. They said that if any of my sons after the war wanted employment they would give It to them. And now I have five sons at the gas works, all in good jobs. "My husband is a postman, 38 years in service. But he loses s lot of time through ill ness. He was gassed in the first war. "He works at night, and sleeps in the day. He gets up at 9 o'clock, and I try to get in bed by 10, because my day starts st 4 o'clock in the morn ing. ' "Weekends is the only tune you have pleasure.

But people of our class don't see a lot of royalty, although they do visit us occasionally. Of course, we could see more of royalty if we went to Buck ingham Palace and stood out side. . "But I like the royalty, and I think everybody does."

We're not trying to answer that one. The latest incident to raise, the query the reported unhapplness of some members of a large na tional women's organization because Mrs. Eisenhower is not expecting to greet personally some thousands of members who'd like to pass her in the receiving line and shake hunds with the First Lady. The Pres ident is up against the same kind of thing, to a degree. We can see how nice it would be to go home and say we had shaken hands with the president or his wife. But what about their end ot it? So far as we are informed, this cus tom of having the chief execu tive and his wife shake hands with everybody who in some way can get himself into, their presence has no parallel in other countries.
