Wayne Morse, R., Ore., to day demanded a continuing sen ate investigation of "incompe tence and gross maladministra tion of OPA in the handling of the food problem." Morse, a persistent critic of OPA, said he was serving notice that he would speak every day the senate meets in denunciation of the way the price agency is administered. He asserted that Price Admin istrator Chester Bowles "has clearly demonstrated his incom petency." Morse said that later this week he will introduce a resolution calling for creation of a special senate investigating committee to "keep tabs on OPA as long as OPA is in existence." He said OPA today had put out "stupid and asinine propos als for solution of the Oregon lamb problem that slaughter ers' lamb quotas could be raised but at the same time their beef quotas would have to be re duced." "The cheap little politicians on OPA," he continued, "appar ently thought they could embar rass the senior senator from Ore gon (Guy Cordon, R.,) and the junior senator from Oregon." Morse said Bowles had dealt with the Oregon lamb situation "by continuing to weave and duck and hedge." He said it was the "duty of congress to have functioning at all times a special committee constantly checking into the pol icy of OPA to see to it that they are functioning in the interests of the American people." "There is voluminous evi dence!" Morse said, "that OPA reeks with incompetency." . Closing time lor Classified Ads 8:3U .. m. Too Late to Classify 12:15 p m kV sir. WjtL&s.??
