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
