Spelling Contest
Results Show Kids
Can Still Spell
Results of the annual spelling
contest held at Lexington April
20 show that the kids "can still
spell," to quote the Morrow
County Schools bulletin put out
by the county superintendent's
office. Participating in the con
test were the fifth, sixth, seventh,
and eighth grades of the several
schools of the county.
Barbara Rands of Lexington
scored 100 in winning the fifth
grade contest. She was followed
by Clifford Ballard, Irrigon, with
99, and Kay Allstott, Heppner,
with 97.
Two Heppner youngsters led
in the sixth grade competition,
David Cox won with a score of
99 and Karen Prock placed sec
ond after winning a spell down
with Jeanette Peck and Aileen
Breeding, both of Lexington
who each scored 97.
In the seventh grade contest
two Heppner girls tied for first
place, Sally Palmer winning the
first spot by defeating Jean Marie
Graham in the spell down.
Laurance Eietmann of lone was
third with 97.
Adelia Anderson of Heppner
was onther 100 per center in win
ning the eighth grade contest.
Betty Lou Meadows of Heppner
attained second place Dy aeiear
ing Bill Kelly, Irrigon, in the
spell down.
The Lexington P-TA women
really outdid themselves in pro
viding an excellent luncn ior ine
"kids" after their stomachs
shrank back to the original size
and their hearts were out of
their mouths. On the whole, the
kids were real troupers and took
the spelling bee in stride, says
the MCS bulletin.

ASK YOURSELF: WOULD YOU VOTE FOR
HARRY BRIDGES OR HENRY WALLACE?
BRIDGES
You do have to ask yourself
that question. For, if you are a
registered Republican, you will
have on your May 19 ballot a
man who has voted for Henry
Wallace and has , on numerous
occasions defended Harry
Bridges.
The thing about Morse that
disturbs thoughtful, patriotic peo
ple is not that he has voted with
the Republican majority in the
U. S. Senate less than 30 per cent
of the time, but that he has sided
with the pinkos, the commies and
the leftists practically 100 per
cent of the time!
Just recently Morse proclaimed himself a "maverick"
who had "never joined" the Republican party. Maybe
that's all right, but why does Maverick Morse invariably
end up in the same corral with such Senators as the far-to-the-left
Pepper, the renegade Taylor and the discredited
Langer?
And why is he found so often on the same side with
radicals such as Tom Mooney, Harry Bridges, Henry
Wallace, Aubrey Williams, Leland Olds and Raymond
McKeoughr
The only way to judge a man
like Morse is by what he does,
not by what he says or by what
his 'liberal' friends say about him
The record is plain enough for
anyone who cares to look at it
with an open mind.
Back in his college-professor
days Morse was one of those who
sought and later secured a par
don for Tom Mooney, the radi
cal who had been given a life
sentence for his part in the 1916
Preparedness Day bombing in
San Francisco.
Morse has defended Harry
Bridges many times. He once
said: "Harry Bridges is a better citizen than the people
who are trying to deport him."
In a letter to the papers recently, Francis J. Murnane,
Secretary-Treasurer of the Bridges defense committe
stated Morse now "seeks to deny his early associations
with Bridges and the 1LWU . . . Morse has renounced

principles for politics, and now assails Bridges while his
appeal in higher court is pending. Not long ago Morse
eagerly accepted help from Bridges. Any man who
plunges a dagger in the back of a friend is not fit for public
office. If Morse does it to Bridges today, he will do it to
someone else tomorrow."
Morse was one of 10 Republicans who voted for the con
firmation of Henry Wallace as Secretary of Commerce.
Morse was one of only four Republicans who voted
the confirmation of Aubrey Williams as REA admin
istrator. In case you have forgotten, Williams was deputy
WPA administrator under Harry Hopkins.
Morse was one of two Republicans to vote for the con
firmation of Raymond McKeough as U. S. Maritime com
missioner. McKeougb was formerly Mid-West regional
director for the Political Action Committee.
During the 81st session of congress, Morse voted for
confirmation of Leland Olds to the Federal Power com
mission. In so doing Morse kept a public promise to Mon
roe Sweetland, National Democratic Committeeman for
the state of Oregon.
Have you heard enough? And have you had enough of
Morse's so-called "liberalism"?
If you haven't, take a look at the ADA World dated Oct
ober 28, 1949, official organ of the Americans for Demo
cratic Action, far-to-the-left organization upon which Tru
man recently showered compliments for its "liberalism."
You will find that along with Pepper, Taylor and Lan
ger, Morse followed the ADA "party line" virtually 100
per cent.
Yes, we know Morse is a brilliant man. So was Dr.
Klaus Fuchs, atomic scientist who gave the secret of the
atom bomb to the Russians. Speaking in the U. S. Senate
on October 22, 1945, Morse said:
"It is my plea that we listen to
the men of science rather than
to those who are appealing to the
fears of the people in an en
deavor to persuade them to a
dopt a narrow nationalistic pro
gram for the control of the atom
bomb . . . after all, the secret of
atomic energy does not belong to
America, but instead it belongs
to all mankind."
Before you vote, ask yourself
this question. Wouldn't an atom
bomb given to the Russians in a
spirit of misguided "liberalism"
kill you just as dead as one ob-'
tained in any other way?
