To the Editor: I recently received a copy of your edi
torial "Morse is Pro Oregon". It is a swell editorial and I
thoroughly concur with all that you have said about him
therein.
I, too, am one of those who feels that this state will be
fortunate if we have him and Guy Cordon as our Senators
In Washington, and who feels that the country will be
fortunate in the postwar days if we can have Senators of
this calibre to assist in the forming of the postwar legisla
tion. Very truly yours, Henry L. Corbett, Corbett Invest
ment Co., Portland, Ore., Aug. 24th.
There is the answer to the anti-Morse propagand
ists if any is needed now. We doubt if there are many
victims left, particularly in the Republican. ranks.
But vou can never be sure of such things.
Some of the primary die-hards may still be victims
of the smear-Morse campaign, which tried to make
out the former dean of the Oregon Law School, and
ex-member of the War Labor Board was a New
Dealer at heart and a pal of Harry Bridges.

Anyone who can, just doesn't know the Ladds or
the Corbetts. Can't know either their political and
economic views or their vast farm and property hold

justly as one of President Roosevelt's "economic

security of which will depend very largely upon the
political course the government takes in the next four
years.

Wayne Morse, but he is going to take off his coat

WHY?
1 1 Well, as he remarks in the note above, because
he believes the state of Oregon NEEDS men of the
calibre of Mr. Morse in the Upper House of congress
the need being especially great in the business of
forming the proper postwar legislation.
And let this be added.
The Ladds and the Corbetts of this state, don't give
out any political endorsements freely or with "a half

then. .....
pOR quite obviously air bombs can only be fired in
one direction, that is DOWN.
The plane's target is limited therefore to the area
controlled by the force of gravity. Thousands of

Washington, Aug. 25 (U.R)
The special House committee
investigating executive agen
cies, citing an "urgent need" for
action, today called on congress
to restrict the wide and oftimes
"assumed" authority of govern
ment agencies such as the Of
fice of Price Administration.
In a report naming no spe
cific agency but believed aimed
primarily at the OPA and the
War Labor Board, the commit
tee urged passage of legislation
to make sweeping changes in
methods of settling disputes be
tween individuals and agencies
"which are assuming more and
more of .the actual government
of our nation."
"If the citizens of the country
are to have any protection what
ever from the arbitrary actions
of those in charge of executive
agencies of the government,"
said Chairman Howard W.
Smith ri Vn in nffprine the

proper legislation so that they
may assert their rights in the
proper courts of the land."
"The administrative arm of
government has expanded enor
mously," he said, "and the signs
are unmistakable that a vast
field of administrative regula
tion will continue to exist after
hospilities cease."
Smith said the new legisla
tion should specifically prohibit
any "implied powers" by gov
ernment agencies. In the ab
sence of c ongressional pro
visions of powers to any agency,
he said, their "assumption" is
"a usurpation'of legislative au
thority and an infringement
upon c o n s t i t u tional govern
ment." In previous reports, the com
mittee singled out the OPA for
special criticism for "usurping"
authority. In particular, it de
nounced what it called the
niency's kangaroo courts where
it acts as "investigator, "urose-
cutor and Judge" in complaint !
cases. v
To correct th'.i situation, the
committee today outlined legis
lation under which the Presi
dent would name hearing offi
cers to settle disputes between
individuals and federal agen
cies, 'with provisions for ulti
