Ph. 2-7573 A Nicholi' Worth of Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press feature Writes Mi tUrman Nlebola Washington, Mar. 10 UP.' The caqiest horse trader on Cap itol Hill has been out-foxed at last, thouih it took a bit of doing. Man ond boy, Sen. Wayn Ly man Morse, the liberal republi can Irom Ore gon, has been trading horses for many years. Seldom has he taken a licking and once he even traded a spavined, blind gelding to a gypsy for a sound pony. But now two of his friends andor victims have ganged up on him. One is Owen L, Scott, execu tive editor of the U. S. News and World Report, who bounht a mare from the Oregon senator. A marc too frisky for the editor to handle. The other is Paul Washke, a neighbor of the lawmaker near Eugene. Ore. He and the senator went cahoots on a couple of brood mares last fall. Morse agreed to pay for the feed if Washke would see that the ani mals were fed daily on the sen ator's ranch. Oregon had its worst winter in history and neighbor Washke had to take a mile round trip daily through the drifts to keep his end of the bargain. Trade Agreed Anyhow, Washke has seen and ridden the mare Scott owns and the two agreed to a trade pro vided the senator would furnish the transportation. "I've licked both so often," said the senator, "that I've' got to be a sport about it. It'll cost me six or seven travel days each way with my car and trailer to get -one mare out to Oregon and "Your Office Boy' Since 1927 DESKS FILES SAFES TYPEWRITERS ADDING MACHINES Across from the Rialto Theatre the other back here. And at least $200 for gas and hotels." Washke is an old timer in the hoss business with the senator. Back in 1634 Washke was a physical education instructor at the University of Oregon and Morse was dean of the law school there. The two bought a couple of mares sight unseen for Si5U each from a man In Wisconsin and agreed that the dean would have the first pick. The fillies arrived; both had been misrep resented. One was a hammer- headed brute not worth her weight in hay and the other one didn't look much better. Morse picked the one which didn't look much better. Bad Deal Feared For a time it appeared that the old horse trader (Morse) had made a bad deal. Washke's hammer-head turned out to be a pretty good buy, but Morse's oat eater showed up crazy in the head. A "loco, as horsemen say. She wouldn't hitch and she balked. At length, the then dean let it be known that he was in the market for a new car. He'd al ways driven Fords and specified in his wordof-mouth advertise ment that he'd trade in his old one, plus the mare market value S250 plus receipt from the dealer of $88 freight charges that brought the animal west. . Along came Buick, Graham Paige, and Pontiac. Morse still was stinging from the bad deal he had made with his friend Washke and listened to all offers. Lawrence Simmons, the Eugene Ford dealer, came to him pleading that "We can t afford to have you stop driving Fords, sir." Pulled Another In no time at all, the dean was behind the wheel of a new Ford, and Simmons was owner of a mare that wouldn't budge. Morse had pulled another fastv. Simmons still isn't too happy about the deal. He had the mare less than a week when she suddenly stopped being stubborn, busted loose, and nearly tore herself to pieces bolt ing through a barbed wire fence. Simmons traded the mare for 10 angora goats at heaven knows what sacrifice. Gold Hill Portland. Ore.. Mar. 10 (U.R) Floyd S.
