IiaHT MEDrORD MAIL TRIBUNH Tuesday, Junt 12, I94S MORSE SAYS OPA Oregon Senator Calls on Bowles to Resign In Pub lic Interest; Cite Bungling 'Washington, June 12 U.PJ Sen. Wayne Morse, H., Ore., to day called on Price Administra tor Chester Bowles to resign "In the public interest' if it's a ques tion of "having your own way or resigning." Morse read to the Senate an exchange of letters between him nd Bowles. The price adminis trator had asked the senator for "full and complete retraction" of statement made by Morse last week to the effect that Bowles rtromises weren't "worth the paper they are written on." , High and Mighty In his reply. Morse asserted that OPA had a "high and mighty" attitude toward Con gress and by "bungling" the lamb price situation in Oregon had caused great losses to pro ducers. In addition to Inviting Bowles to resign if the other alternative was having his own way, Morse accused OPA of permitting itself to be used politically by Oregon democrats last fall. "A fair share of the blame for that " he told Bowles, "must be laid at your door." Washington, June 12 ll.(9 Ben Harlan J. Bushfield, R., S. D., asserted during Senate de bate on price control extension today that OPA "should be aDoi' lshed." He asserted that "little pip squeak OPA hirelings" go out of their way "to hurt people, to annoy people, and to humiliate them in their own communities." "There is no reason," Bush field added, "for the continue tio of OPA. It should be abol ished." LINE BIDS OPENED Portland, June 12 (U.R A San Francisco firm, W. C.
