The supreme undertaking is to harness these forces for man's uplifl, and there are few men in the United Stales as well equipped for this iob as Wayne Morse. Oregon Republicans should renominate Morse, w ith PRIDE as well as purpose." E. C. SAMMONS, Prominent Portland Banker and Civic Leader "Senator Morse has demonstrated a djnamic leadership based upon a deep and realistic understanding of today's problems. He is neither mired down in the mistakes of the past nor a victim of the delusion that we must abandon our democratic for a socialistic form of government. And, Importantly, he has the moral and political courage that is desperately needed in Congress today." i PHIL HITCHCOCK, Oregon Stare Senator "Senator Warn- Morse is one w ho understands the obligation of a Christian nation toward ail '.lie peoples of the world. I sincerely hope he will be re-elected." IRVIN MANN, Prominent Pendleton Rancher "Wayne Morse has given us effective, honest and able representation in the United Status Senate. The Republican Party needs his continued service in the Senate." PAUL B. WALLACE, Leading Businessman and Orchardist "Senator Vayne Morse fought effectively against a threatened military policy that the west co.st should be expendable in case of war. Oregon can ill afford to lose the prestige and influence of his position on the Armed Services and other important committees jf the Senate." HAROLD E. STASSEN "Wayne Morse is an exceptionally able, courageous, forward locking Republican Senator. His loyal campaigning for Republican candidates has been very effective and very helpful." SEN. ARTHUR H. VANDENBERG "1 want to thank you for your relentless and consistent support fur what I believe to be a sound foreign policy for our country. You have been I tower of strength in defense of indispensable cooperation with our anti-Communist allies and for the collective security which not only protects us but also sustains the hopes of free men for free world." SEN. MARGARET CHASE SMITH 'Many Republican and independent voters in America give great -heed to the Republicanism of Wayne Morse. The Republican Party is fortunate to have such a dynamic, forthright Republican snokesmaa representing it in the Senate of the United States." SEN. HENRY CABOT LODGE, JR. "1 feel that Senator Morse's public career typifies the spirit of reform, liberalism, idealism and regard for human rights which gave birin to the Republican Party and which is vital to Republican succeis in the future'. SEN. EDWARD J. THYE "As a member of the Senate Agriculture and Forestry Committee, I can assure the farmers of America that Wayne Morse is a Republican leader who thoroughly understands the relationship between stability in our agricultural economy and a sound national economy.

Newbry Reports Only two Oregon counties, Curry and Wheeler, went through 1949 without a traffic fatality, but sizeable death reductions in ma jor counties enabled the state to mark up its overall lb percent decrease for the year, Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry reported today. Ten counties posted increases of 50 percent or more over 1948 while eight enjoyed similar de creases. Reductions in Multno mah, Marion, Linn, and Lane counties contributed most to the life-saving campaign, Newbry said. Although no cities over 10,000 population came through the year without a traffic death, ur ban areas as a whole reduced fa talities 21 percent while rural areas posted a 13 percent reduc tion. Three-fourths of Oregon's traff. fic deaths occur in rural areas. The deadlines of high speed highway smash-ups in compari son with frequent minor mis haps in city traffic is emphasized by a study of accident rates per 10,000 registered vehicles and fatality rates compiled on the same basis. Heavily populated, urban counties show high acci dent but low death rates. Pre dominately rural counties suffer high fatality rates despite lower accident rates. The experience of Multnomah county exemplifies this situation, Newbry said. The part of the county outside the city of Port land had only 10 percent of the accident, but accounted for near ly 40 per cent of the deaths.

He warned drivers to resist the temptation of fast driving on open highways, point ing out that heavy traffic ' and sudden dangers can be expected on all roads during the summer months. o Huge Sum Expended For Protection of State Forest Land A total of $4,267,057 was ex rind durinc the calendar year of 1949 for the protection of forest lands which come under the jurisdiction of the state for estry deoartment and its co operating forest protective as sociations, according to figures which have just been complied under the direction of T. H. Rainwater, assistant state lor- ester. . . Rainwater pointed out that these figures include the cost of nrotecting all the privately own ed forest lands in the state, the state forests and other state own. ed forest lands, a relatively small amount of national forest tanas and also forested public domain and the O & C lands within the state protection boundaries. One of the largest items In cluded in the costs is 2,355,465 which represents the amount ex pended by the private timDer land owners and the logging operators throughout the state which is over and above that contributed by them through tax rolls and association assessments for the normal protection work carried out through the forestry department, stated the forester. Broken down into various headings, this item includes $905,336 for snag falling as re quired by state law, $194,143 ior fire fighting. $423,255 for addi tional forest patrol, $215,446 for the purchase of fire fighting equipment, $238,943 for the cost of roads and improvements and $378,340 for slash disposal. The balance of the costs of protection came from the state appropriation, from forest land owners either through tax roll or association assessments, fed eral Clark-McNary funds through reimbursement for the cost oi protecting federal lands.
