In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS yoUR . column of Oct. 15 charges me with voting against passage of the bill which passed the Oregon legislature in 1951, to prevent the" diversion of Klamath river waters. "This charge is a complete falsehood, - "House Bill 661 (the bill for bidding diversion of the Klam ath river) came twice to votes on passage in the senate. The first time it passed the Senate by a vote of 25 to 1, and you will find Richard L. Neuberger among the 25 senators who Voted FOR the bill. (Official senate journal, 1951 legislature, page 249.) "After the House had agreed to the Senate' amendments, HB 661 came before the Senate again for repassage. It passed the Senate 29 to 0. Once again, you will find that Senator Rich ard L. Neuberger voted FOR the bill (Official senate journal, 1951, page 284.) SO MUCH for what Neuberger SAYS in his letter. Let's now bring in from the record the part HE DOESN'T MENTION. THIS bill that sought to pre vent theft of Southern Ore gon's water (HB 661) was read in-the Senate the second time on April 14, 1951 and was re ferred to the senate committee on agriculture. The majority' report of - the senate agriculture committee recommended that the bill DO PASS. The minority report rec ommended ; that it DO NOT PASS. , The minority report was sign ed by RICHARD L. NEUBERG ER. -. WHEN the bill came before the Senate as a whale. SENA TOR NEUBERGER moved to substitute the minority (do not ncccri nannrt nf" the committee for the majority (do pass) report. In the debate on tne senate floor that followed introduction nt tho mnrtnn nf (substitution, the battle TO KILL HB 661 (the bill to prevent theft of soutnern Oregon's water) WAS LED BY SENATOR NEUBERGER. He was joined by seven other sen ators, all Democrats Senator Tii.It Tln Ronntor Phil Brady. Senator Russell Gardner, Sena tor R. D. Holmes, senator j.om Mahoney, Senator Ben Musa and Senator Manley J. Wilson. rpHEY'VE lost their fight to kill HB 861 by tne pariimem ary device of a motion to sub stitute the minority report of the committee for the majority report. .. .. tvim .Canata vote on the motion of substitution was heavily AGAINST IT. All this Is fully set forth In the Senate journal for the ses sion of 1951.' T iHIS is the point: T 4h. mntarifv renort of the senate agriculture committee (for which Neuberger fought and voted) had been adopted by the Oregon Senate as a substi tute for the majority report, House Bill 661 (to save South ern Oregon's water) WOULD HAVE BEEN AS DEAD AS A DODO. " Sn vnn It was Neuberger himself' who wanted to kill our Cock Robin, and if his llgnt on tha Sfln.tff flnnr tn substitute his minority DO NOT PASS report for the majority uo rnoa re port had succeeded he WOULD have killed Cock Robin. When the Senate ss a whole voted decisively against his mo nf .iih.tif tition he knew he was beaten and on the final vote he threw in the tail with the hide and voted for the bill as AA ovnrvnnn liu. The final VOte was unanimous for the bill. , I'VE gone Into this matter In mnslrierable detail because iris letter of Neuberger's is a striking example of the shifty tactics he has employed through out his campaign. Frnm th vprv beginning, he has been loose and liberal with words and reckless with facts. An estimated 18,000,000 -non-farm families in the U. S. that own their homes today are com pared with only about 3.9 mil lion In 1900. w-'mi biw niwiiMsssiuH'-sj- r-asi-g.'yjr'T's;.1.11''11 'mums..isj 1 t BATHTUB MYSTERY Roy Bergo, shown leaving Edmonds. .
