7"As year's lafe, and short, summer
has been a good thing for the ducks
. It was Giles French, the peppery
writer for the Sherman County
Journal in Moro, who opined last
week we had enjoyed our three days
of summer, and who noted a touch
of fall in the air. The local weather
observer, who doubles in brass as a
member of The Bulletin's staff, re
ported the month just past was the
coolest July in the past 60 years.
Rainfall during a long, late, spring
was above average for much of the
nation. Truly, there has been more
griping about the weather this year
than for many years.
But not everyone is unhappy.
A report from a summertime duck
hunter is a cheery one. No, this
fellow Is not breaking the Jaw. He's
hunting nothing out of season. He's
hired to survey the summer activity
of ducks, to see what the picture
will be like In the fall.
Ducks, In the summer, do little
but eat, and raise little ducks. The
observer mentioned is one of sev
eral hired by the National Wildlife
Federation, to check duck trends.
It's his opinion the succession of
dry, hot, summers in North Dakota
and three Canadian provinces
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alber
ta is over. Cool weather, and a
wet spring, have resulted in a bump
er crop of ducklings, he reports.
There Is a high production rate, a
high survival rate, and broods are
larger than In previous years. .
This is one of the wonderful
things about nature. Nature can up
set her own balance, as she has
done for four years In the upper
Midwest. Drought conditions led to
a drastic decline In the number of
young ducks produced each year.
Migrating ducks in the fall became
fewer in numbers, to the dislike of
both duck hunters and duck watch
ers. This year's crop of young birds
is large enough to warrant a small
increase in bag and possession
limits, In the Mississippi and Central
flyways.
It Is quite possible to draw, a
parallel between the duck situation
' in the upper Midwest and the dcor
population in the Far West. Game
regulatory bodies in several states
California, Oregon, Idaho, Wash
ington, and Utah among them
have been under fire from various
critics in recent months. Some say
the deer population has declined
rather drastically. Others maintain
it is not down at all. Still others
claim there Is a small decline. Game
commission figures for this part of
Oregon would Indicate a slight de
cline In adult deer numbers, but
nothing serious. '
It is generally recognized there
has been a decline in the number of
fawns born each year for the past
two or three. Game biologists who
are specialists in the field feel this
is a temporary situation, caused by
weather and feed conditions. They
liken the deer crop to the ducks of
the Midwest, get a good year and
the deer will be back In larger num
bers than ever.
It is probable the biologists are
right. They work with carefully
chosen samples, with carefully re
corded data allowing considerable
validity to their conclusions. We
have seen declines and surges in
animal populations in this area be
fore remember the mice of a few
years back, and note the increase
in rabbits this year over the past
few years. Deer have shown their
ability to withstand pressures from
man (there are more deer in Ore
gon today than there were a hun
dred years ago, of that there is no
doubt) and they should be apparent
in larger numbers than ever before
in a short time.
Insurance 'Hot Shots' will bring on control
Members of the Central Oregon
Life Underwriters Assn. are disturb
ed. They are disturbed because they
feel that local people are buying life
Insurance that isn't being properly
represented. Generally, they say,
misrepresentation comes from out-of-state
companies which send sales
men into an area to "hot shot" for
as little as a week and as much as
a month.
The visitors sell a lot of insur
ance in a short time. Members of the
Central Oregon group say the fact
that it costs them business isn't
their primary concern. They claim
that misrepresentation and high
charges foisted upon a sometimes
gullible public are their main con
serns. Perhaps. But uny business that
protests when competition cuts the
pie into smaller pieces is suspect
that its objections come mostly from
economic loss.
Be that as it may, the local In
surance men have a good point.
There have been cases here, and
certainly in other areas, of the sale
of life insurance to gullible people
who buy blue sky instead of hard
cash values.
After the sale, the insiuance
expert takes his money and leaves
quietly. The purchaser who tries to
collect finds he didn't get what he
paid for.
This is historical because there
aren't any laws that say an insur
ance salesman has to be honest. The
old adage of "Cavlet Emptor," has
held force in the past.
Interestingly enough, govern
ment is about to do something about
It, at least in Oregon. There was a
bill before the last legislature, spon
sored by the Insurance Industry,
which would put the state in the
business of policing companies to
some extent. This would certainly
lead to more regulatory type of leg
islation in the future, just as early
banking . and securities regulation
has resulted in huge governmental
policing bodies.
Probably some regulation is
warrentcd, especially when an in
dustry such as this cannot police
Itself, But we wonder what insurance
men will say 30 years from now
when they chaff under government
control they themselves asked for.

Bulletin Correspondent
WASHINGTON Ever since
Sen. Wayne Morse won re-election
handily last fall, his political
behavior has been quite out of
character.
Morse has been behaving as
though he were still running for
re-election and running scared
at that. The most apparent mani
festation of this strange phenome
non is that he has been making
frequent weekend trips to Oregon
for speaking engagements around
the state.
It is not unusual for Morse to
leave Washington for speaking
dates around the country, for he
supplements his senatorial salary
handsomely by speaking for a fee
which he says averages $500 per
talk.
But it is unusual for the Oregon
senator to devote much speaking
attention to groups in Oregon in
the period immediately after he
has been returned to Washington
for another 6-year term. And yet
this is what has been happening.
This is unusual because it is ex
pensive to fly back and forth
across the continent on frequent
occasions to address organiza
tions and public forums in his
home state where he can't charge
a fee or expect to have his ex
penses paid. This sort of C06t is
normally incurred only in an elec
tion year under the whiplash of
political anxiety.
Had Wayne Morse been re-elected
by a narrow margin, this be
havior would be readily under
standable. But he defeated his
GOP opponent, Sig Unander, by a
comfortable margin of over 50,000
votes. Obviously he Is still the
favorite of a majority of Oregon
voters.
What, then, drives the senator
to this expensive current under
taking? Wayne Morse, as Is his custom
in the realm of practical politics,
is keeping his own counsel. But
his colleagues are speculating
about the meaning of It all.
The most plausible theory is
that Morse is planning to run as
a delegate to the Democratic na-
WashiiJgtoirMerry-go-roiinil .
Modern Marco Polo does
not arouse much admiration
By Jack Anderson
WASHINGTON That ancient
sightseer, Marco Polo, was re
nowned not only for his mileage
but for his literary output. Now
his place in history has been chal
lenged by a peppery, peripatetic,
73-year-old senator, Allen Ellen
dor, Democrat of Louisiana who
has been five times around the
world and deep into many of its
remote areas.
Not counting nations formed
within the past 18 months, only
tiny, hostile Albania has been able
to keep him out. But Premier
Hoxha should be warned that El
lender is not easily deterred.
As for wordage, Ellender again
has the venturesome Venetian
beat tin volume if not literary
merit. He packs a supply of little
black notebooks in which he jots
more piercing Impressions, later
to be published as official Senate
reports.
These run to massive ' state
ments of the obvious. Example:
The equator is "very hot" at
noon.
Ellender also totes a movie
camera wherever he wanders and
takes dozens of reels for the won
derment of those at home who,
out of respect for his Senate sen
iority, let themselves be collared
into attending his illustrated lec
tures. On his latest "good will mis
sion' to Africa, he succeeded in
getting himself banned from three
new nations, thus spoiling his rec
ord of keeping up with the map as
fast as it is subdivided.
This column has now managed
to see the confidential State De
partment cables which tell the
full, fascinating story of Ellend
er's African safari.
Confidential Tip-Off
His first American stop was
Morocco where he was greeted by
amiable but apprehensive Ambas
sador John Ferguson. Ellender
was favorably impressed, noting
in his little black book that the
ambassador was "willing to
learn."
Ferguson learned all right: all
about the senator's favorite sub
ject, Allen Ellender. Ferguson al
so wasted no time in passing on
his information. He got a cable
alerting his colleagues far and
near:
"Escort officer learned that sen
ator is a widower, a grandfather,
that he neither drinks nor smokes,
that he does not eat shellfish, that
he drinks only tea with breakfast,
that his relevant hobby is color
movie photography, that he in
sists on going to his room not la
ter than 10 p.m. no matter what
is in progress, that he speaks Ca
jun French, that he likes early
morning starts, that he started
his political career under the aus
pices of Huey Long."
As he moved across Africa, per
spiring diplomats added to their
Union target
in damage suit
BUTTE. Mont. (UPI) St. Re
gis Paper Co. has filed a civil
suit In U.S. District Court here
claiming a strike by lumber work
ers is costing the company 117,500
per day.
The action against Local 2581 of
the Lumber and Sawmill Workers
t'nion at Lilthy, the Montana Dis
trict Council and the Western
Council of the union, alleges the
strike that started July 9 was il
legal and prohibited by contract
terms.
The J. Noils division of St. Re
gis contends ils losses will con
tinue to accrue at the same rate
until the strike Is settled.
Attorneys said no further action
had been scheduled in the suit,
pending settlement of the strike.
The company employs 1.300 per
sons in western Montana and has
a payroll of $7 million annually.
knowledge of Ellender's eccentric
ities and clued each other in ad
vance. They found that the sena
tor ignored their briefings but
briefed them instead.
African leaders, no small talk
ers themselves, were stunned to
slience by the jet stream of his
talk. They were regaled with the
Ellender success story, instruct
ed on the intracacies of congress,
and, in the case of President Kcita
of Mali, treated to a discourse on
satellite communication legisla
tion delivered In Cajun. President
Keita, a polite man, sat with
glazed eyes.
His courtesy nearly encouraged
the senator, in a flush of gallic
garrulity, to promise Mall some
economic aid. But he overcame
the impulse and hinted instead for
a handout for himself.
Free Souvenirs
Reported Ambassador William
Handley in a confidential cable to
the State Department: "The sena
tor had asked the President to
name some products typical of
Mali that he could buy as souve
nirs of his visit. The President or
dered an aide to present some
typical products as gifts to the
senator. These were given to him
at the airport just prior to his de
parture." This aid-in-reverse included a
wooden hippo, ivory carvings, na
tive necklaces, and an alligator
briefcase.
As a son of the Bayous, Ellen
der is proud of his Cajun and used
it every chance he got. During
the Mali visit, he happily record
ed in his notebook:
"Most of those present were
surprised to hear me talk French.
I believe the ambassador was
pleased."
Ambassador Handley in his con
fidential report to the State De
partment merely commented:
"The senator speaks an adequate
but at times impenetrable
French."
During an overnight stop In the
Central African Republic of Chad,
Ellender cast a pall over a dip
lomatic reception. A cable to the
State Department from Charge
D"Affaires Richard Roddington
reported:
"The senator enumerated for
President Tombalbaye all the
places in Africa he was to stop on
his current trip and spoke at
length of his career in the Sen
ate. . .Hater) the senator said
forthrightly to the French Charge
D'Affnircs that France, Britain,
and other U.S. allies had failed
to assume their share of the bur
den of the defense of the free
world, leaving the whole job to
the U.S. He expostulated on the
danger of the U.S. public debt."
So the elderly Ellender shuttled
around Africa for two months,
carping here, quibbling there, de
manding explanations but rare
ly, if ever, listening to them. A
press conference crack that Afri
cans were "incapable of leader
ship except through the assist
ance of Europeans" finally got
him banned from three countries.
As the roar of anger arose from
black Africa, a bewidlered Ellen
der. alternately mournful and an
gry, beat it back home. His hegira
among the heathen was over,
rounded off with a stop In Paris.
No doubt the senator had an
enjoyable time at the taxpayers'
expense. But was his trip really
necessary?
tional convention next May in the
Oregon primary. If ha does that,
there is little doubt he will run
hard in an effort to roll up the
highest number of votes of any
candidate on the ballot running
for delegate.
In addition to the virtue of win
ning such a political propularity
poll, with its political status value,
the prize that customarily goes to
Uie delegate with the highest vote
is chairmanship of the delegation
to the convention. The specula
tion here, then, is that Wayne
Morse wants to head the Oregon
convention delegation which will
go to Atlantic City next summer
to re-nominate President Kenne
dy for a second term.
Beyond this relatively perfunc
tory task there may lie a more
compelling reason for Morse's
energetic pursuit of the Oregon
voter these days. If he heads the
Oregon delegation, he may pre
sume that he will gain a degree of
influence he has lacked with the
Kennedys and within the Demo
cratic party.
Ever since President Kennedy
assumed office. Rep. Edith Green
has unquestionably been the most
influential member of the Ore
gon congressional delegation with
the new administration. Her cre
dentials chairmanship of the
Oregon delegation to the 1960 con
vention and chairmanship of Ken
nedy's Oregon campaign have
been honored by the president and
the attorney general and their top
aides.
This circumstance has been dif
ficult for Sen. Morse to accept,
despite the fact that he not only
caustically opposed Kennedy's
presidential nomination but con
ducted a furious but futile cam
paign for convention delegates
pledged to Wayne Morse for presi
dent. When that effort fell flat,
Morse retreated to the seclusion
of his Maryland farm instead of
appearing on the battlefield at Los
Angeles where Congresswoman
Green and the Oregon delegation
labored to put Kennedy's nomi
nation across.
Since Kennedy took office,
Morse has alternately praised him
extravagently and criticized fea
tures of his legislative program
to which he objected, such as the
communications satellite last year
and foreign aid this year. Yet it
is possible that in 1964 Wayne
Morse will volunteer to be Ken
nedy's Oregon campaign chair
man. If Kennedy should then car
ry Oregon and be re elected,
Morse would have a boasting
point inasmuch as Oregon failed
to give Kennedy a majority in
1960.
Yet the fruits of gaining spec
ial influence with the Kennedy ad
ministration aren't noticeably
bounteous. In the Washington po
litical community, probably the
most sought after advantage from
such a relationship is the personal
prestige it affords those known to
have a special "in" with the pow
ers that be. Another advantage is
securing a decisive voice in pa
tronage matters, which is import
ant in intraparty affairs but of no
real significance in terms of pub
lic affairs.
Mrs. Green has had the decisive
voice for Oregon the past two
and a half years. But it is begin
ning to appear that Sen. Morse
will try to supplant her in this
prestige role in 1964.
An administration official re
ports that the senator has gone to
the curious extreme of planting
the notion that Mrs. Green won't
even seek re-election to Congress
next year, that she is fed up with
Washington.
Such a rumor is most uncon
vincing with the Kennedy admin
istration where it is common
knowledge that Mrs. Green turn
ed down a presidential offer of an
ambassadorship because she pre
fers to remain on Capitol Hill.
She plans to run for re-election to
her Portland congressional seat in
1964 to start a second decade in
the House, where she has become
one of its more powerful mem
bers. Mrs. Green, incidentally,
has been telling friends she has
no intention of running for the
Senate in 196S if Sen. Maurine
Neuberger runs for re-electioa
Surface relations within the
Oregon congressional delegation
are reasonably good these days.
They meet periodically for break
fast to discuss state problems,
and they circulate proposed let
ters for joint signature on mat
ters of common interest affecting
Oregon. Both senators also attend
ed a party at Mrs. Green's Wash
ington apartment not long ago on
the occasion of Howard Morgan's
departure for Oregon. These rela
tions probably haven't been as
peaceful and calm in eight years.
But Wayne Morse'i journeys to
Oregon this year are being taken
as an omen of new adventures
and possibly new strains to come.

Negro leaders
hope to keep
march orderly
By Al Kuetner
UPI Staff Writer
One day this week a memoran
dum signed by the leaders of the
Aug. 28 march on Washington
will be released from the New
York headquarters of the massive
operation.
The document will contain such
signatures as Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr. of the Southern Chris
tian Leadership Conference: Roy
Wllkins, executive head of the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People,
and A. Philip Randolph, president
of the Negro American Labor
Council.
It will call on Negroes to con
. duct themselves in a "sober and
dignified" manner when they
come to the nation's capital for
the biggest demonstration ever
released during the current civil
rights dispute.
Plans Carefully Laid
This is part of a carefully-laid
plan to prevent the demonstration
from erupting into incidents and
violence.
If the show is pulled off with
out a hitch, the ability of Negro
leaders to control their forces will
have claimed a major strategic
victory. If there should be trou
ble, look for strong reaction from
Congress.
The size of the Washington
crowd now is predicted at "well
over 100,000." Marchers, their
voices raised In a moving inte
gration hymn "We Shall Over
come" will mass before the
Lincoln Memorial in an appeal to
Congress to enact the new civil
rights bill.
The demonstrators are sup
posed to arrive and leave Wash
ington in a single day, leaving
behind only the influence of a
massive but disciplined exercise
in mass persuasion as a lobby for
better jobs and civil liberties for
the nation's Negroes.
Well Organized
Leaders of the march have
tried to think of everything, down
to getting advice from the Army
on how many persons can pass a
given point in a given time. They
have arranged for comfort sta
tions but no food. Marchers must
bring their own box lunches.
"I believe it can be done peace
fully," said Wilkins, a senior "an
chor man" on the project. "The
sheer size of the crowd and the
logistics will limit the amount of
activity. That is in our favor."
Cleveland Robinson, a New
York Negro labor leader who was
born in the West Indies, probably
will be chief parade marshal. Hi
will be in touch with hundreds of
other marshals by walkie talkie.
The crowd will be contacted,
when necessary, by bull horn.
Tiros 6 still
going strong
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
space agency has a new front
runner in its weather satellite
stable.
The honors go to Tiros 6,
launched Sept. 17, 1962 and still
going strong.
Tiros beat the record of its
predecessor, No. 5, which went
into orbit on June 19, 1962 and
kept functioning through May 4,
1963.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA)
said Monday the new champ is
taking excellent pictures of the
earth's cloud cover and is expect
ed to go right on doing just that.
To date it has taken 58,589 pic
tures, including weather studies
for astronaut Walter M. Schirra's
six orbit flight around the earth
Oct. 3, 1962 and last week it
checked on Arlenc, the first tropi
cal storm of the 1963 season.

Crystal Springs Camp
assistance urged
To the Editor:
Much publicity is given these
days to teenage crimes. Often
times the good things they do go
unnoticed. I would like to call
your attention to a worthwhile
project of a group of local youth.
They are trying to raise money
for the development of Crystal
Springs camp. This beautiful
camp, nestled In the Ochoco
Mountains 35 miles from Prine
ville, is the summer camp sit of
Central Oregon 4-H clubs and two
different church groups. There Is
a pressing need for an enlarge
ment of the water system and for
the building of dormitories.
Realizing this need and anxious
to help, some Bend teenage girls
decided to have a rummage sale
August 9 and 10 at 1047 Bond
Street and give all the proceeds
for this camp development. Their
desire to help in this worthwhile
project for the benefit of all Cen
tral Oregonians is to be commend
ed. Let's support them with our
donations of money and rum
mage. Clean out your closets of
clothing you seldom wear (men's
clothing is especially . needed).
Box those extra .toys, dishes,
books, etc., and phone 382-1106 for
someone to come and pick them
up for you. Let's encourage these
youth!

Anti-nuclear
session opens
in Hiroshima
HIROSHIMA, Japan (UPI) -Japanese
Communists aligned with
Red China in opposition to the
Moscow test ban agreement have
packed an international anti-nuclear
conference with their own
delegates, the Japanese Federa
tion of Trade Unions charged to
day. The second session of the Ninth
World Conference against Atomic
and Hydrogen Bombs opened in
Hiroshima today on the 18th an
niversary of the World War II
obliteration of the city by an
atom bomb.
But the trade federation, the
largest labor organization in Ja
pan, announced it was pulling out
of the current meeting although
it intended to remain a member
of the Japan council against atom
ic and hydrogen bombs.
A federation statement said the
Japanese Communist party sent
more delegates to Hiroshima than
it was supposed to. The federa
tion is allied with the Socialists.
Both trade and Socialist sources
voiced fears the Communist man
euver meant Red China's support
ers might dominate the meeting.
