A Nicholi' Worth of
Comment On This and That

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.
