Attendance Marks
Portland W.R) Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger (D.-Ore.) defend
ed the attendance of Oregon
Democrats in Congress yester
day in a speech to a Clackamas
county party picnic.
"Average attendance at roll
calls by Oregon's three Demo
crats during the first session of
the 84th Congress was far better
than that by the three Republi
can members of Oregon's con
gressional delegation," he said.
Neuberger was replying to
criticism made last week by Re
publican state central commit
tee chairman Wendell Wyatt.
Wyatt had attacked the attend
ance record of Sen. Wayne L
Morse of Oregon. '
Neuberger quoted from Con
gressional Quarterly reports to
show that Oregon Democrats
had better roll call participation
in 1955 than Republican con
gressmen from the ' state. He
added that the Republicans
"have made a fetish1 of attend
ance because they have no gen
uine party program."
The junior senator pointed out
that ' attendance was not neces
sarily an indication of service
as there were legitimate reasons
for being absent. ...
"But because the Republicans
of Oregon always raise their at
tendance matter, they are going
to hear lots about it from now
on," he said.

Mother of Slain
Negro Boy Urged
To Avoid Trial
Chicago-(U.R The mother of
a Negro boy slain in Mississippi
said today she had been urged
to ."stay out of Mississippi" and
not testify at the trial of two
white men indicted for her son's
murder.
But Mrs. Mamie E.- Bradley
said not until she receives a
written invitation to appear at
the trial will she make up her
mind as to whether she -will be
a witness.
Her son, Emmett Till, 14, was
kidnaped from the home of his
uncle during a vacation trip to
Money, Miss., Aug. 28. The boy's
weighted body was found sev
eral days ' later in the Talla
hatchie river, badly beaten and
with a bullet in his head. -'Wolf
Whistle' Blamed
Two half brothers, Roy Bry
ant and John W. Milam, have
been indicted at Sumner, Miss.,
for murder of the boy. Young
Till's offense which led to the
kidnaping allegedly was a "wolf
whistle" at Bryant's wife.
Disk Atty. Gerald Chatham
said testimony of Mrs. Bradley
would be valuable to the "state.
The two men have admitted the
abduction of the boy, but said
they released him unharmed.
"I won't even begin deciding
until I get the invitation in writ
ing along with assurances beyond
a - shadow of a doubt that it
would be safe," Mrs. Bradley
said.
Chatham has promised any
"reasonable protection" asked
by Mrs. Bradley.
"I've got nine relatives' who
have put their feet down," Mrs.
Bradley said. "They don't want
me to testify.
Mrs. Bradley said she has been
"flooded" with telephone calls,
letters and telegrams urging her
to stay out of Mississippi."
