THE STRANGE FLIGHT
OF MR. MORSE
SHERMAN COUNTY JOURNAL
Shed a tear, friend, for Senator
Wane Morse, a man whose
troubles must seem burdensome,
whose chickens in coming home
to roost must have brought
wrinkles to the horseman's brow
and additional snow to the gray
ing locks.
Senator Morse, be it known,
has long cherished an ambition
to be a member of the foreign
affairs committee of the senate.
He argues that the far west and
Pacifc coast needs a representa
tive on that committee, a state
ment with which all Oregonians
can concur.
The changed numbers of Re
publicans and Democrats in the
senate since election has made
a change in the relative num
bers of men on the committee
from each party. Instead of hav
ing eight the Democrats will
have seven leaving six to the
Republicans instead of five. At
last there is room for Senator
Morse and he has long awaited
an opportunity to fill it.
However, the results of the el
ection are interpreted as a vic
tory for the segment of the par
that has opposed the adminis
tration foreign policy (sic) and
for the Republicans who stood
staunchly for the Taft-Hartley
law. Senator Morse has not been
a member of that group. He in
veighed stoutly against isola
tionists during the campaign
without letting his hearers in on
the secret of what they were. He
supports the administration in
foreign affairs. He made a speech
to the AFL in which he opposed
the Taft-Hartley act in uncom
promising terms.
Forsooth, say the party lead
ers, this man's appointment to
the foregin affairs committee
would be to repudiate the man
date of the people or something
like that. Mr. Morse has gone his
blithe and independent way for
six years stabbing friend and foe
with his votes and his voice. He
has fought against the (for
some) restraining ties of party.
Now when there is work to do
the leaders may hitch up some
better broke steed and let Morse
go on with his pitching in the
big pasture, his kicking at the
corral bars.
We wonder what the senator
is going to do. Will he persist in
letting the tickle of the tugs ex
cite him to kicking and bucking?
Will he resign himself to joining
the team and following the furrow?
Mrs. Blanche Brown left Wed
nesday morning for Portland
where she will visit for a few
weeks.

Christmas Mailing
Lagging Here, P. M.
Driscoll Announces
Unless business is consider
ably less in volume than last
year it is estimated that local
patrons will present some 60,000
letters ,and Christamas cards,
and approximately 500 sake of
parcel post for dispatch in the
next 12 days, says Postmaster J.
H. Driscoll. With limited facili
ties and personnel, this becomes
a major cohre at the local Post
Office when the volume of mail
coming to town exceeds the ab
ove figures at least three times
over.
Patrons are urged to begin im
mediately with their dispatch of
Christmas mail. It would be ap
preciated if mailers would pre
sent their Christmas cards bear
ing different denomination of
stamps in separate bundles with
the stamps all in the same cor
ner. The rate on unsealed Christ
mas cards for out of town deliv
ery is 2 cents each, and applies
on mail delivered to all local pa
trons served by Star Route car
rier. Cards for city delivery may
be mailed at the rate of one cent
each, if sealed and presented as
first class mail. No writing is
permitted on n UNSEALED
Christmas card excepting the
name of the sender. Writing a
message of any kind, merely in
structions, or similar information
subjects any mail to the first
class rate.
The Post Office will be open
from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. Saturday,
Dec. 16 and Dec. 23, but not on
Dec. 9.
MANY DRIVERS LOSE
LICENSES BECAUSE OF
INTOXICATION COUNTS
Convictions for driving while
intoxicated cost the operator's
licenses of 1,942 Oregon drivers

over convictions for thus offense
during the same period in 1949,
Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry
reported today.
Oregon law requires courts to
report convictions for traffic of

, In releasing these figures,
Newbry pointed out that the ap

attendant social drinking finds
the state's traffic death record
already exceeding fatalities re

December, always a month of
peak traffic danger, may force
the statewide toll to its highest

adding that driving combined
with drinking is one of the grav
