May 18 (U.R) The public Information chief of the atomic energy commission said today research in nuclear fission would bet used to pre vent future wars. Shelby Thompson, a former Cheyenne newspaper reporter, said the nation s $4 billion pro gram would develop peace time uses of atomic energy far outweighing the A-bomb in im portance. He said research in agriculture alone could solve one of the basic causes of war by increas ing the production of food. "There are an amazing num ber of constructive uses of atomic energy being made," made," Thompson said. "Through the use of radio-ac tive carbons, scientists hope to solve the mystery of how plants take carbon dioxide and con vert It into the starches we de Denl on for food." The AEC public relations chief said the solution would al low the United States to control the growth rate of foods or syn thesize food plants. Examples Cited He also cited examples of the use of atomic energy in med ical and industrial research. Thompson said atomic weap ons were being produced on Local Offices Hold Responsibility for Out of Work Fraud Salem, Ore., May 18 (U.R) Local offices must take a large share of the responsibility for detecting fraud and misrepre sentation by claimants, Don L. Baker of the central office staff of the state unemployment com pensation commission told a con ference of employment special ists here today. "We can audit wage records and claims and check other sources of information," he said, "but the interviewer at the claims desk has the best chance to detect possible fraud. If a claimant has outside earnings or is self-employed or otherwise in eligible for benefits, it must be uncovered in the community where he lives." In State Custody Baker disclosed that one claimant now is in state custody after being convicted of drawing industrial accident and unem ployment checks for the same week. He said several other cases are in the hands of authorities. However, it was brought out that fraud is rare in the unem ployment compensation setup and was found in less than one tenth of one per cent of the 140,000 claims filed this year. Of $25,109 set up as overpay ments to claimants found in eligible for benefits during the first quarter of this year, $19, 033 was recovered either in cash or by offset and more will be collected later. Conference Closes The three-way conference of local managers, farm placement representatives, employment dep uties and central staff men closes today. Late Tuesday the conferees heard an informal talk by Gov. Douglas McKay, who said the emphasis should be placed on developing more jobs as the an swer to immigration and unem ployment problems, and the payment of benefits should be secondary to the objective of finding more employment.

SAWYER, Eminent Editor of Bend Bulletin Tells Why HE IS FOR DAVE HOOVER DAVE HOOVER DAVE HOOVER is a red-bloodtd, grass roots American. A veteran of World War I (his opponent haa never been in uniform) Hoover can be counted on to fight for the freedom of the America we know and love. HOOVER'S legal training and his law en forcement background will enable him to cope successfully in the U. S. Senate with the Communist menace to the U. S. A. HOOVER'S stand on Communists and fellow-travelers is clearly outllined in his statement in the Official Voter's Tamphlet HOOVER has pledged to ELIMINATE COMMUNISTS AND SOCIALISTS FROM PUBLIC POSITIONS. HOOVER has pledged to STOP SQUAND ERING AMERICAN DOLLARS ON SOC IALISTIC l-OKICIGN GOVERNMENTS. HOOVER is opposed to the importation of foreinn "isms" uiuler any tume and from any source. HOOVER is auaitut the further extension of Federal Bureaucracy with its dictatorial powers over the lives of the people. HOOVER recoRtiiies that government has nothing to GIVE TO THE PEOPLE ex cept that which it has FIRST TAKEN AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE. HOOVER favors the protection and pres ervation of FREE ENTERPRISE hecause only through FREE ENTERTSISE will the people remain free. -- HOVER IS t REAL REPUBLICAN snd A REAL AMERICAN. In his talk here Wednesday night Senatof Morse, so we are told, made several refer ences to this newspaper. We do not have the quotations but we understand that his re marks were not of a complimentary nature. He tied us, as we have it, to what he has called the smear campaign being waged against him. What we have been told of the candidate's remarks makes it clear that, as the vernacu lar puts it, he can dish it out but he cannot take it.Time was when Senator Morse on the floor of the U. S. Senate spoke of the editor of this newspaper as "one of the great editors of the west." That was when we were for him. Now that we are agninst him he has dropped us from the exalted status of that one-time distinction. We think that neither one of us has chang ed. Morse is what he has always been. We arc not one of the great editors. We have simply changed our opinion of the candidate and so have fallen in his esteem. We are not seeking the nomination for anything. Wayne Morse is and, therefore, his record in the senate is proper matter for discussion. If the presentation of that record is a smear, the smear is of colors that he has compounded. The objection that so many have to Morse has developed out of the fact that it is so difficult to know just where he stands on so many subjects. A friend who heard him here on Wednesday said that Morse talked for two and a half hours and in that period so qualified every statement that listeners were left in state of complete uncertainty. The little circular being distributed on Morse's behalf carries striking evidence of this nature. On one page three paragraphs outlining the Morse position on three sub jects appear. One is on labor and it is stated that Morse condemned the Taft-Hartley act BUT, that he has denounced socialized medi cine BUT and tha,t he has opposed the CVA BUT. That is always the way it goes. Morse is for or against BUT. And he will write you five pages in explanation. (In each case our em phasis.) This same circular carries a display .line "Principle Above Politics." Nevertheless, it is interesting to observe, in his newspaper ad vertising Morse goes all out for political party indorsement. Another test of the Morse record is found in an examination of what he has done for the state he represents. Make the examination and you come up with a zero. We do not refer to appropriations or pork. We are thinking about Oregon's forestry, her reclamation, soil con servation, flood control, land use and power issues and problems. What has Morse done on these? Morse qffers statistics on his voting record. They are meaningless without an examination of the issues. On most of the important issues on which there was a party division Morse voted anti-Republican. It was his principle above politics, we suppose, that led him to vote for the confirmation of Henry Wallace when most Republican senators voted against. Only last month Morse voted to attach H. R. 5472 the outrageous reclamation amendment that Senator Cordon worked so hard to de feat and did defc-it. The best opinion is that this amendment would have, in effect, set up a CVA. Why did not Senator Morse support his Oregon colleague? A few weeks ago we explained how com pletely we became sold on Morse six years ago. We explained how our feeling for him slowly eroded. Now we feel that we were, in deed, sold. That is why we cannot now sup port him. That is why we are for Dave Hoover. ELECT rA REAL REPUBLICAN A REAL AMERICAN Official Records Show That Morse Has Voted Against His Party 71 of the Time Here's proof of that statement from The Oregonian, Nov. 20, 1949, in an authoritative article by Steffan And rews ot the North American News paper Alliance. "Behind the scenes, White House political advisers are working on Re publican Senator Wayne Morse to get him to run on the Democratic ticket. The Oregon Senator is finishing his first term and will be up for re-elect-tion next year. The idea of getting Morse to switch his party affiliation seems quite logical to the White House bigwigs. Here's Why: Official Statistics show that in the last session MORSE VOT ED with his party only 29 per cent of the time!" Question Is Who Was It? ABORD TRUMAN SPEC IAL, May 11, Who was Presi dent Truman talking about when he said at La Grande Wednes day: "I know that the people of your state, while some of them call themselves Republicans, they usually vote with the Demo crats on every issue that counts. And I appreciate that very much I appreciate that very much." Oregon Journal May 11, 1950 If you have any doubts WHO the President meant, read what Doris Fleeson said in her political column in The Oregonian, May 13, 1 950, writing about 1 rumnn's trip to Ore gon: "THE PRESIDENT SPOKE WARMLY OF MORSE AND ALSO PRAISED OREGON RE PUBLICANS WHO SO OFTEN VOTE WITH THE DEMO CRATS. HE SAID HE AP PRECIATED IT." The Democrats Have NO Effective Opposition to Offer Next November According to The Oregonian. "Ho ward Latourette, the probable Demo cratic nominee (for U.S. Senator) is a survival of the Democratic past without standing in the Fair Deal." Dr. Louis Wood, the other candidate for U. S. Senator on the Democratic ticket, is i retired college professor. It is obvious that neither of these gentlemen will be able to offer more than token resistance in November to the successful Republican nominee. DAVE 1HOOVEE U. . HOOVER FOR U. S.
