"This part of our conversa

an optimistic mood and went to
Washington to put Hammarsk
jold's findings before Secretary

Prize Appointment Expected To
Make Demos Attractive To Morse
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington The gift of one
of the prized seats on the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
which the Democrats gave Sen.
Wayne Morse this week is ex
pected to make formal member
ship in their party more attract
ive than ever to the Oregon
senator. -
For despite his personal pref
erence to remain independent of
either major party, Morse has
now fulfilled a long cherished
desire in stepping up to the blue
ribbon committee of Congress
and unless he becomes a Demo
crat in name, he runs the great
risk of losing that seat more eas
ily than he attained it.
The risk for Morse stems from
the time-honored custom in the
Senate for each of the two major
parties to take care of only its
own members ' in the delicate
matter of making committee as
signments. So long . as Morse
remains formally independent of
either party, he is subject not
to this custom but to the dispen
sation of the party that happens
to gain control of each new Con
gress.' And Morse's own exper
ience since his 1952 bolt of the
Republican party best illustrates
the insecurity of his independent
status ..'when 1 it comes to getting
good committee seats. - .
- Two years .ago, when the Re
publicans controlled the Senate
Morse fought a long, losing bat
tle to retain seats on the Armed
Services and the Labor Commit
tees. The GOP tentatively of
fered to keep him on the former
but not the latter, but he refused
to accept any assignments from
his former party. Instead, he
demanded that the Senate as a
whole assign him, which result
ed in an unprecedented make
shift balloting in which Morse
took a licking and ended up on
the Public Works and the Dis
trict of Columbia Committees
And. that's where he stayed so
long as the GOP was in control
This year, changing his tactics,
Morse made no such demand of
the Senate but agreed to take
his assignments from the Demo
crats Foreign Relations, Bank
ing and Currency and District
of Columbia, the , latter by his
own choice. Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas saw

than in any other Deceipber in

During 1954, the line carried
a total of 166,928 revenue pas
sengers. 4,000 more than the
year before, for an all-time high.
The airline had a 4o per cent
load factor, highest ever. It re
ports that West Coast carries
more passengers per thousand
population in its area than any
of the nation's 14 jocai-service
airlines. . . . : - - . ' - -
Some 80 per cent of its pas
sengers were traveling within

Klamath Falls (U.R) Sale

has been announced, ; - . . . , i
J to it that Morse got the choicest
of seats, for he thinks Morse
"one of the ablest men in the
Senate" and also it was Morse's
vote which gave the Democrats
their hairline . margin to grasp
control of the Senate this year.
But Johnson . accepted the re
sponsibility of assigning Morse
to committees because he argues
that this is the duty of the ma
jority party, which this year
happens to be the Democratic
party; Two years ago, Johnson
argued, it was the responsibility
of the Republicans to take care
of Morse, because then the GOP
held a majority.
So Morse's -comittee Insecurity
as far as the future is concerned
lies in the possibility of the Re
publicans returning to gain con
trol, which could happen at any
time if, say, a Democratic sen
ator should die in office and be
succeeded by the appointment of
a Republican successor. This
could lead to a reorganization of
the Senate, with the Democrats
becoming the minority party and
giving up the chairmanships of
the standing committees to the
Republicans.

Knowland Speaks Against
'Peaceful Co-Existence'
Houston, Tex. U.R) Sen.
Willianv F. - Knowland, Senate
Republican leader, thinks that
"peaceful co-existence" with the
Communists can mean playing
into the enemy's hands and we
shpuld have '.learned: at Munich
that appeasement is "only ; sur
render on. the installment plan.
Peace at Any Price -
The ; California Republican
told a banquet of the Institute
of ' International. Edcuation last
night the Communists will fol
low peaceful co-existence with
the free world only so long as it
suits them.
He said "Among some of our
associates abroad and in some
unofficial quarters -in our own
country, the term 'peaceful co
existence' is becoming .synony
mous with "peace at any price.
Should such a condition become
general, either here r or abroad,
t have to look to the new major-
ity party, the ' Republicans, for
his assignments.
In short, so long as the Demo
crats hold the Senate, Morse is
reasonably certain of holding
this prize of his senatorial ca
reer. And if he becomes a Dem-
oarat, he will unquestionablv
move up the ladder of commit
tee seniority, assuming three
elder Democratic members
Chairman Walter George, who is
77, Green of Rhode Island, 87,
and Barkley of Kentucky, 77
don't . outlive Morse, who is 54.
But should the Senate so Re
publican in a future election or
sooner, and Wayne Morse is still
listed as an independent, he will
once more be at the mercy of the
party he has scorned.
