Morse for Gag
On McCarthy
WASHINGTON (UP) Sen
tor Wayne L. Morse urged Con
gress yesterday to adopt new
rules to keep committee bearings
from turning into "inquisitions
and star chamber proceedings.' '
The Oregon Independent re
ferred specifically to Sen. Jo
seph R. McCarthy's questioning
oi ong. uen. iiaipn zwicger as
"tne type of hearing that should
be brought to an end."
He introduced a resolution to

damper on one-man investiga

McCarthy's power to conduct in
vestigations but would do every
thing be could to "take away his
power to operate, under any pro
cedure he wishes."

dom is dramatic. Ordinarily it

it is a tangible, fearsome force.
You feel the grit between your
teeth, between your fingers, in
your eyes, even though it may
not be blowing. You begin to

ROOSEVELT CLIMATE
BLAMED
ROME lPi Former Premier
Alcide de Gasperi said Wednesday
night Italy is not entirely to
blame for failure to uproot com
munism because "the evil plant. .

Roosevelt climate." The 72-year-lid
leader o( the Christian Dem

meant by Roosevelt climate.
itch all over with it as you watch
mile after mile of fences buried
in blown dust and sand, tele
graph poles and farm equipment
banked high with the powdery
stuff that kills rich farmland.
The farther south and eist
you go, the fewer furrows you
can discern in what was plowed
wheatland a short week ago.
You can drive 100 miles east of
here and sec little sign of the
disastrous dust storm of last
week and the blow Monday that
added insult to injury.
But once into Hugo, the Lin
coln County seat, you know the
dust has been there.
This is what I saw when I
made a trip into the area:
Just a few miles to the south
and the world turned gray. A
few hundred yards off main
Highway 109 on section-like
road you could see the first bit
ter evidence. -
It looked curiously like an
ocean beach with a few weeds
rising above the wind-sculptured
sand. There was moisture be
neath it Broken cedar fence
posts looked like driftwood.
Adenauer Issues
Warning on Reds
BONN, Germany W West Ger
man Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
warned Thursday that "Sovictiza-
tion of Europe is still the supreme
coal of Russian policy and called
on free Europe to unite quickly
to block this threat.
Opening a debate in the Bunde
stag on the Berlin Big Four con
ference, the chancellor said:
"The Soviet Union intends to
maintain its present advanced po
sition as a jumping off point for
the eventual domination of all Eu
rope. "More than ever now there
exists the necessity for Europe to
unite its resources. The European
Defense Community must become
a reality."
Jazz Players
Dope Addicts
NEW YORK (UP) Variety,
the show business weekly, said
yesterday that narcotics addic
tion is so prevalent among
younger jazz musicians today that
it is virtually impossible to or
ganize a jazz band without in
cluding "a complement of reefer
addicts or worse."
Reefers are marijuana cigar
ettes. The newspaper said band man
agers were unable to make ad
vance bookings because they
could not tell what state their
musicians might be in. It said
one "topflight jazzman recently
had to turn down a $2,000 date
for a week in Las Vegas be
cause the other three members
of his quartet were flying too
high on the stuff at tht time."
Variety said in some instances'
operators of jazz clubs and mi
nor recording firms were prof
iting on the addiction of musi
cians by paying them under un
ion scale and supplementing
their wager with "the junk"
slang for any kind of narcotics.
American Indians have proved
adept in smoke jumping jump
ing by parachute to fight forest
fires.

Protests filed by franchised deal

halt to bootlegging.

tive vice president, have been in
Detroit conferring with top auto
executives on proposals' for stop
