MEDFORD O PHONE 2 Morse Subject Between Morgan and Wyatt Portland U.R) Oregon's state Democratic and Republi can chairmen traded verbal blows today on the subject of Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.). State Democratic Chairman Howard Morgan, in a talk to a women's club last -night ac-1 cused the Republicans of cam paigning by "personal abuse." He said abusiveness is evident in recent personal attacks on Partnership Gun Pointed at Oregon, Sen. Morse Claims Washington (U.P.) Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), said to day the administration is hold ing the "partnership gun at the head of Oregon" in connection with a budget request for money for John Day and Green Peter dams. The President's budget mes sage included a request for funds toward partnership con struction of these two projects and Bruces Eddy in Idaho. To Compel Acceptance "It is apparent," Morse said, "that the administration is onqe again holding, the partnership gun at the head of Oregon in order to compel acceptance of partnership at John Day and Green Peter." Morse said "Success with Hills Creek, Cougar and Ice Harbor" showed that it was not nec cessary to "give in and break up the main control plan for the Columbia river basin." Coon Cites Interest, Rep. Sam Coon (R-Ore.), spon sor of legislation for partnership construction of John Day, said "the President has shown great interest in our area and a re alization of the need to develop our natural resources." Coon said -"I think this will get us electric power at a time when we will need it and not run us into a brownout for lack of electricity while waiting for federal appropriations. Coon's bill would allow local utilities to put up about 88 per cent of the $310,000,000 pro ject. Third Polio Shots Due Area Children First and second grade young sters who received first and sec ond polio shots last May and June are now due for third, or booster shots, according to Dr. E. A. Merkel, county health of ficer. Dr. Merkel said the booster should be obtained during Janu ary and February, preferably through their family physician Although some federal tax nurchased vaccine remains, it is available only to hardship cases, he said. The earlier pro gram ' was covered by the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Children whose families do not have resources to meet cost of the' shots through regular medical service may receive the booster from a family physician for the cost of administration, or from the health department on referral from the physician - 5219 of Debate Morse by the Republican party state chairman. "This kind of name -calling campaign," Morgan said, "is the only weapon of the Republican party." Wendell Wyatt, state GOP chairman, said in a statement today that "The Democrat state chairman endorses Senator Morse's 'charge that President Eisenhower lacks morality, but screams 'personal abuse' when Republicans reveal that the sen ator has one of the poorest rec ords in the Senate." Wyatt said that "in spite of the objections of the Democrat state chairman, the Republican party will continue to examine Senator Morse's record and dis cuss it with the people of Ore gon." .
