GOP candidate for the U. S. Sen ate, McKay, spoke briefly to a meeting of the Veterans of World War I and said "pensions for vet erans should not be a matter of charity. They should be expected as a matter of right." McKay then was asked from the floor if he supported the groups' program for $100 "across the board" benefits for World War 1 veterans. McKay said he support ed the program outlined by the American Legion and lhat he did not support the VWW1 program, i "1 don't think It's necessary," he said. ."There are many men who have good incomes and do not need such money, I don't feel am 'across-the-board' program is correct." A member rose and told McKay "Two years ago Tom McCall was In here and didn't support our pro gram and I told him 'you will never be our representative,' and he Isn't." McCall was defeated by Rep. Edith Green In 1954 in the raco for Congress. McKay replied, "All right, but I will ne.er make promises I don't believe In just to get elected.

Severe Penary Asked for 3 in Poznan Trials Dn7Mi PAlanri tR The PoZ- nan trials prosecution demanded Tuesday a "severe penalty" for three youths accused of killing a security police corporal in the June 2B Poznan riots. Under- Polish law the penalty can range from 10 years imprison mnni in Heath for an attack on a state official or members of the armed forces. Tne prosecutor am not specifically demand death.

Read the Opinion of Ex-Governor Chas. A. Sprague Reprinted from his column "It Seems To Me" in the Oregon Statesman, Sept.. 26-27, 1956 Senator Wayne L. Morse is a can didate for a third term as senator from Oregon, this time on the Dem ocratic ticket. He demands that the contest between him and Douglas McKay be fought out "on the issues." Very well ; but remember that Morse himself is the major issue. Morse It the Issue Morse makes himself the issue. He personalizes whatever subject he is discussing. His speeches are chiefly in praise or defense of his own con duct in office, his own votes, his own opinions. Morse makes himself an issue be cause one of his outstanding charac teristics is his egotism. ' 1 am not ascribing to him vanity, but ego tism, defined as "the practice of referring overmuch to one's self." Morse is definitely egocentric, striving to make the world re volve around himself and his ideas. Now this trait of character might be passed over as a fault, an evidence of the frailties to which all human kind is heir. But in Morse it has developed into a dangerous form of self-righteousness. He is always right, whoever is opposing him at the mo ment is dead wrong. And he throws a blanket of moral sanction over his actions which confounds the public and which I think results in his de ceiving himself. Yet he has re versed himself so often, altered his own course, joined what he rejected, spurned what once he endorsed, that his, own actions belie either the purity of his motives or the value of his judgment. Moral Arrogance Another effect of this moral arro gance is that it has led Morse into , intemperate utterance. He is extreme in denunciation. In 1946 he branded President Truman as "ham actor." , Yet in 1952 he praised Harry Tru man in a ixTsoiul telegram: "Yntir record is an indelible one in the history of our country, while that of your detractors will soon fade away." In February, 1952, when he said he was "strong for Kisenhower," he wrote: "1 know him to be a very intelligent man with complete in tellectual honesty and a marked im partiality." The Congressional Rec ord for March 20, 1952 quotes Morse referring to President Eisenhower as "a man who in my judgment is com pletely lacking in political morality." We must allow a man the privilege of revising his appraisal of men and of issues; but when he indulges in such radical utterances and extreme reversals of opinion and does it so often we are justified In challeng ing either hit motive or the soundness of his judgment. Burned Out Usefulness in attempting to analyze Morse's claim to reelection and entering my opposition I am not doing so out of personal antagonism. I have no per sonal quarrel with him. I recognize he is a man of superior intellectual endowments, but regret that he has, in the opinion of many who were his friends, pretty well burned out his usefulness and effectiveness save as a persistent harranguer to a nearly empty Senate cham ber. With many of the positions he has taken in his near 12 yeas of service, I have been in agreement; with others strongly opposed. Morse deserted the Republican Party under whose banner he had won his office in 1944 and 1950 to become first an Independent and next a Democrat. He did not merely move across the political aisle, he wound up on the extreme left wing of the Demo crats, not very welcome to those of the older Democratic tradi tion. Tht of course wis his priv ilege. Morse justifies his move on the 1 ground of principle and "conscience." "No. 1 Hypocrite" Certain it is that Wayne Morse's conscience is both well worked and abundantly advertised. Others who know Morse well have a different view, however. For example W. M. Tugman editor of the Port Umpqua Courier and long-time editor of the Eugene Register-Guard calls Morse "the Number One hypocrite in Ore gon." It is therefore timely to in vestigate Morse's claim to strict guidance of conscience and firm de votion to principle. Funds Above Principle Go back to 1944 when Morse first considered running for the U. S. Senate. When he returned to Eugene ' after resigning from the War Labor Board a group of local Democrats interviewed him to see if he would . become the candidate of that party. Morse turned down their bid. Some yeara later Tugman learned of the conversations and published in the Register-Guard' of March 27, 1953, the substance of the report by Mar vin Warlick who was county Demo cratic chairman at the time: "I invited Morie to come to my house to meet a number of prominent Democrats and we felt him out on the situation. He told im (list his sympathies were largely with the New Deal but that he had always been registered as Republican and that in any ease there was the problem of funds for his campaign. He doubted if we could pro vide adequate nnanrial support whereas he was sure the Republicans would. later wt ..had a telephone conversation in which he repeated the same sentiments." When Morse made this response to the Democrats of Lane county was he actuated by conscience and principle, or was he moved by expediency campaign fund expediency? Come to 1952 when Morse's con science really underwent great strain. He came to Oregon early that year and introduced his colleague Senator Dull of Pennsylvania at a dinner of the Multnomah County Republican Club in Portland. Both were boost ing Kisenhower for the Republican nominee for President. Morse con tinued a strong Eisenhower booster and denounced Republicans who chose to file as candidate for delegate by petition so they would not be legally bound by the party preference. Political Ethics Changed After the convention, Morse be came soured on Republicans, on Eisenhower and Nixon. At first he sulked in his tent, later he came out lock, stock and larnyx, for Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic candi date. This decision was announced as based on "principle" and pre sumably on conscience. Previously he had declared that for one holding office to bolt his party violated his conception of political ethics. Some where along the line that concept of political ethics underwent change. v Why the Desertion? After bolting the Republicans Morse became an Independent. Al most weekly during the sitting of the 83rd Congress he arose to make his weekly "report" of the Inde pendent Party. As late as July, 1954 he denounced as a "lie being spread by my enemies" that he would enroll as a Democrat. But after being warned by Monroe Sweet land, Democratic national commit teeman, that he would get no sup port from Democrats if he remained an Independent Morse, well in ad vance of filing time for the senatorial race in 1956 flew out to Oregon, drove to Eugene and registered as a Democrat. The question I want to raise la this: Why did he desert the Independent party? What had gone wrong with It, with its lead ership, with, its principles? What writhings of conscience preceded his walking out of the Independent Party? What purification of the Democratic Party had occurred to . make a comfortable spiritual home? it should be recalled that in the 1940s he was a veritable Saul of Tarsus in flaying the New Deal and , the Democratic Party. Loyalty Questioned Was not his conversion to the Democratic Party the conversion of expediency? As an Independent he stood to fall between two stools in Oregon. As a Democrat he would have a readyrmade statewide organ ization to support him. Morse had no desire to become a dead lion, . standing by his principles of Inde pendency. He boarded the Demo cratic bus hoping that it would be a vehicle to carry him through another election, just as he boarded the GOP bus in 1944 when he thought the fat cats of Republicans would finance his campaign as many of them did, even rallying to pay off the deficit caused by his free spending. . Now how loyal is Morse to the Democratic Party? I am going to quote again from his interview with Kimmis Hendrick: "I'm telling people," Senator Morse ssid. for his own part determinedly, "that I'm going to remain an independent that it's the only right way to represent them in Washington." . In other words, let the Demo crats provide the vehicle .(and the campaign funds), but let Morse vote as he pleases after he Is elected! However, it is only fair to quote from another columnist, Joe Alsop who observed Morse at the Clacka mas County Democratic picnic and reported: When the chairman pre sented Morse with a check for his campaign fund Morse returned it, telling Chairman Groener to "spend it as he thinks best, for the benefit of the entire and mind you, I say entire Democratic ticket in Clack amas county." That was when he was wearing the party coat. Morse bases his stand on public issues on principle and he seems to have so many principles that he can call up one to support each stand he takes. Thus in 1946 when ' he was new in the Senate he voted to confirm the nomination by Roose velt of Henry Wallace for secretary of commerce, basing his stand on the principle that a President is entitled to name the members of his cabinet. However, when Presi dent Eisenhower nominated Charles E. Wilson for secretary of defense Morse pulled out, another "princi ple" I don't know just what and in obedience to that principle he voted against confirmation. Now I do not believe that a per son should be a slave to consistency. Different times, different relation ships call for different judgments. But I do object to this parade of virtue and exploitation of "con science" as a cover for all the gyrations of the Morse career. I credit Morse with acting many times out of genuine concern for the public interest. But I think also that he Indulges In rationaliza tions until he suffers from the Illusion that he Is always right and drapes himself with the clonk of "principle" and "con science" as a protective colora tion. Conscience Unreliable Let us have done w ith this exces sive advertisement of the Morse con science, w hich if it is truly his guide is then remarkably unstable and unreliable. N kit.
