MAIL TRIBUNE
The Morse
It is probably foolish to take "The Documented
Kecord of Wayne Morse" too seriously.
It is an imposing onus, no doubt, attractively
bound and embossed, and should we presume be ac
cepted, along with the campaign buttons, slogans
and bombastic broadcasts, as an inescapable part of
the quadrennial :-ring circus and added sideshow put
on bv both major parties in an effort if they are in to
s-tay there : and if they are out, to get in !
.So as far as this paper is concerned, we have no
particular complaint to make concerning this highly
publicized anti-Morse volume, our only complaint
is the concerted effort to make it appear "what it
AIN'T."
IX ANOTHER column of today's paper, for example,
is a communication from a certain Henry Kane,
who is not one of candidate McKay's publicity experts
nor even one of his press-agents, but bears the impos
ing and scholarly titleof "research director" for the
equally imposing Oregon Republican Central Commit
tee. The letter is a reply to a communication in the M-T
by Mr. Ken Corliss for what is termed his "unwarrant
ed attack"' on this non-partisan and purely objective
effort to give the people of Oregon the facts of Sen
ator Morse's two-term senate record.
TTHE COMMUNICATION devotes very little space
to answering the criticism of the anti-Morse "fact
book" made by Mr. Corliss and a great deal to a
sales talk for this Republican party pamphlet. Direc
tor Kane indeed makes the extraordinary claim that
after examination by top newspapermen in Oregon,
California, other states and hold everything "the
Washington, D.C., press corps" no criticisms such
as McCorliss advanced have been received.
17E KNOW a few of the Washington "press corps"
and wonder if they are aware of this blanket
endorsement for that is what it amounts to if it
amounts to anything on the basis of the accuracy
and impartiality of the document? We wonder, also,
how many of the "top newspapermen" in this array of
states, and how many members of the Washington
press corps would find no attempt to deceive the
reader as far as the two-term record of Wayne Morse
is concerned? Our strong belief is not MANY !
To give what he terms a good example of the
book's accuracy," Director Kane cites Senator Neu
berger's silence regarding his quoted criticism of Sen
ator Morse several years ago.
If Senator Neuberger s remarks were out of con
text or were quoted incorrectly," concludes this foe
of political deception, "I feel certain that Senator
Neuberger would have made public the error!"
No doubt of it as to accuracy!
But great doubt as to "quoting out of context."
For "quoting out of context" has nothing to do
with accurary or inaccuracy. In fact, the first re
quirement is to get the quotation 100 correct, but by
failing to give the complete picture the correc back
ground creating a wrong and politically-damaging
impression.
The Republican State Central committee has not
honored this paper with a copy of this gem of non
political documentation, and we get the same report
from other members of the Oregon press. Why we
could not guess!
But we do know enough from the official publi
city concerning it to venture the opinion that not only
is this Neuberger item a perfect example of "quoting
out of context," but the volume is strewn with them.
How could it be otherwise?
These party "researchers" who furnished the ma
terial for the GOP ghost-writers were not paid to col
lect items that reflected any credit upon Oregon's sen
ior senator. If they failed to scour the available rec
ords for the items that would put Wayne Morse in the
worst possible light, and his opponent, Douglas Mc
Kay, in the best they were not doing what they were
paid to do.
But they undoubtedly did their job as they were
expected and had to do it, and as indicated above, the
Mail Tribune has no criticism to make on that score.
In a national campaign, political propaganda, double
talk and all-around unadulterated "whang-doodle" is
to be expected on one side of the aisle as well as the
other.
But what gives this paper a severe pain in the edi
torial neck is this sanctimonious effort to make this
alleged "book of facts" concerning the record of
Wayne Morse apepar to be what it isn't that is, so
objective, so impartial, so free from political or per
1 sonal bias, that it should be considered quite proper to
send to 35 public libraries of Oregon for their refer-
ence shelves.
Why? Not to make votes for ex-Secretary of the
; Interior McKay and take them from Wayne Morse
j no. what a revolting suggestion ! But as Director Kane
; solemnly and piouslv proclaims, to permit the people
to, quote: "LOOK' AT THE DOCUMENTATION
AND FORM THEIR OWN OPINIONS."
What sort of opinions? The answer to this 74 cent
! question is NOT hard to guess.
One is that even Senator Neuberger doesn't think
; much of Senator Morse. For. observe what he said and
; doesn't deny when he didn't know the man. and was
not writing a serious political estimate anyway ! What,
' after several years association with our senior senator
j is Neuberger's present estimate of his colleague's in-
tellectual attainments and courageous and enlight
i ened statesmanship are of no importance to these un
; biased historians, a stray and forgotten item in a for
1 gotten "mss." which might lose Wayne Morse some
votes IS. How silly can we get?

1 lican press is expected to be formed from the non-

Record
Today and
By Walter
STASSEN AND NIXON
Mr. Stassen, being a practical
politician of long experience,
it is strange that he waited until
tms late date
to c h a 1 lenge
Mr. Xixon end
that before he .
acted, he did
not consult;
Gov. H e r t er. j
He seems to j
have actedj
suddenly,;
without prep
aration, with
Waiter Lippmann
out lining up support, and at the
eleventh hour when the Pros- i
ident. the Administration, and
the party machine were publicly
and irrevocably committed to '
the renomination of Mr. Nixon, j
The nearest he has come to j
an explanation is that he and
some others have recently had a
private poll taken, which was a
cross check on the Gallup Poll,
and that the result shows an
Eisenhower-Nixon ticket running
6 per cent behind an Eisenhower
Herter ticket. There is, however,
nothing new about that, and he
does not explain his acting only
a month before the Republican
convention. For a long time, if
I remember correctly since be
fore the President's illnesses, the
polls have been showing Nixon
as not only much weaker than
Eisenhower but as weaker also
than Stevenson. What, one must
wonder, has happened very re
cently, apparently in the past
few weeks, to arouse Mr. Stassen
to so desperate an attempt to
stop Nixon? Something has
moved him, a practical and high
ly ambitious politician, to take
a very long shot, staking his
own political future on it. The
only new and recent develop
ment has been the President's
second illness.
The republican Party has had
the Nixon problem since before
the President's hart attack. The
problem is in two parts which
are, however, related. Mr Stassen
talked about the first part of the
problem which is that Nixon is
a political liability among the
Eisenhower Republicans and
among the Independents who
hold the balance of power. If he
were running for President, he
would be beaten by Stevenson
political effort is short and to the point, to-wit:
"Senator Morse is a liar."
How come?
Very simple. In 1954 Oregon's senior senator de
nied that he intended to run for re-election as a Demo
crat in 1956, but he did so!
That makes a liar out of him according to the docu
mented evidence.
Well, if the senators in that august bodv who have
changed their minds and their plans within the space
of two years are "liars" then by all means let the fam
ous Ananaias club formed by another GOP "rene
gade" Theodore Roosevelt 'be revived. Scarcely a
member of the congress we believe who couldn't on
such terms qualify for it.
The present writer happens to know that for a
long period while Senator Morse had, like General
Eisenhower, lost faith in GOP leadership and its ab
ility to successfully handle pressing domestic and for
eign problems he brushed off all suggestions that he
leave the party and change his registration. He just
didn't WANT to. But as conditions changed he chang
ed. Well a senator who refuses to admit having made
a mistake, and refuses to change his course to correct
it or conform with changed conditions, would not in
our judgment be of much value in the Senate or any
where else for that matter.
The readers of this highly objective opus are ex
pected to conclude, however, Wayne Morse is not a
man to be trusted. That just isn't true and there is
no evidence to prove otherwise in this alleged "book
of facts" or anywhere else, and all fair-minded ob
servers of the political scene KNOW it.
CO ONE might go on and on. But this is too long
winded already. We wish to make it clear how
ever this is not to be taken as any defense of Mr. Cor
liss or his communication, he is quite capable of hand
ling that for himself and if he wishes space in the MT
to do so, space will, of course, be available.
Nor is it to be interpreted as an "attack" on the
factual accuracy of this partisan document. There may
not be a misstatement of fact in the entire works
on the other hand there may be. Not having read it,
and not having a staff of expensive "researchers" to
do it for us, we don't know.
But we DO know that it is not what the Director
of Research claims it to be. Assuming it is a compila
tion of substantiated facts in the Morse record, they
have been so selected and so arranged and are so in
terpreted by the GOP press that if used as a reference
in our public libraries by the people who go there for
unbiased non partisan political information they
would no more get a true or correct picture of what
sort of person Wayne Morse is or the significance of
his 12-year record, than they would find a fair and un
biased appraisal of Grand Duke Alexis in the archives
of the Kremlin ! It just COULDN'T BE DONE. And by
the same token, we doubt very much that if a "docu
mented record of former Secretary McKay" were
compiled by his political enemies and these same
public libraries should place copies of THIS opus on
their reference shelves, any fair and just picture of
the man or his record, could be obtained.
No one with the slightest knowledge of practical
politics or campaign tactics would go to such a source
to get it. R.W.R.
Tomorrow
Lippmann
and possibly also by Harriman.
The latest poll shows, for exam
ple, that among Independents
Stassen himself is decisively
stronger than Nixon.
THE second part of the problem
! -- is that by his general political
formation, his convictions and
his political impulses. Mr. Nixon
is not an Eisenhower Republican.
This does not mean that he does
not serve President Eisenhower
loyally. It does mean that when
he is on his own. he moves to
wards the Republican right wing
which, though it clamors for
Eisenhower as a candidate for i
President, opposes and obstructs 1
his policies. Nixon's weakness !
among the Eisenhower enthu-:
siasts in both parties comes from !
the belief that he is not a true j
and reliable successor to Eisen-!
hower, that he cannot be counted :
on to carry on in the Eisenhower
line. i
The Nixon problem has ex-!
isted since before the President's
illnesses. It was earnestly dis-1
cussed, to be sure more in private
tnan publicly, during the Spring
and Summer of 1955, when the
President seemed so reluctant,
chiefly because of his age, to
commit himself to run again.
Though the President's health
was at that time unimpaired,
he himself raised serious doubts
at to whether it was wise for
him to run again, and these
doubts focussed considerable at
tention on the Vice Presidency.
During that discussion, there
was talk about Stassen, about
Henry Cabot Lodge, and also
about Dewey because of his sup
erior competence. But there was
a wide consensus that on the
grounds of political availability,
his attractive personality, his
fine record as Governor, and his
liberal Republicanism, Gov.
Herter would be the best solu
tion. After the President was strick
en last September, the country
became overwhelmingly preoc
cupied with the question of
whether he would run again. Un
til this question was decided, it
was impossible to take much in
terest in the Vice Presidency.
Moreover there was a strong
feeling among Eisenhower's per
sonal followers that if only he

One of our readers called our
attention to a metropolitan daily
in tne soutnern part of our neigh
boring state in which there was
a letter to the editor written bv
a Medford resident.
Crater lake was mentioned in
its right location. But somehow
in naming Diamond lake, it slip
ped across the state line. The
contributor told this department
it was originally referred to as
"our'' Diamond lake. The "our''
in the original letter came out
"your" in the publication.
Reports from this area lead
would consent to run again, he
must be allowed to choose his
running mate.
T AST February, however, when
Li
Gen. Eisenhower made up his
mind to run again, it was obvious
that the Nixon problem was a
very serious one. In the 1944
campaign the country had not
been told about the condition of
Roosevelt's health. This time it
had been told about Eisenhower's
health. Never before had a man
of Eisenhower's age and with a
known medical history like his,
been a candidate for re election.
It was certain that the Dem
ocrats would make a powerful
play for the return to their
party of those Democrats who
had been for Eisenhower in 1952
they would talk about Nixon's
chances of finishing Eisen
hower's second term.
For a few weeks after the
President's a n n o u ncement in
February that he would run
again, there were signs of a
struggle within the Administra
tion and in high Republican
quarters over the Nixon prob
lem. That would seem to have
been the moment, when the
situation was fluid, for Mr.
Stassen to have made his chal
lenge and to have rallied the
Republicans who like Ike but
do not like Nixon.
The moment passed, and Mr.
Nixon got the enthusiastic en
dorsement of Chairman Leonard
Hall and of the President him
self. The anti-Nixon faction, be
ing in no mood to cross the Pres
ident, subsided. The party or
ganization closed its ranks be
hind Eisenhower and Nixon. The
situation which had been fluid in
the winter has jelled in July,
and what would have been a
painful but a possible political
change-over would now be in
the order of a party convulsion.
Although Nixon is weak
among the Independents for
Eisenhower he is very strong in
the Republican organization and
among the Republican stalwarts.
He is their man and, as we have
seen during this Stassen affair,
they resent with a special bitter
ness any attempts by Repub
licans to displace him. Why is
this? It is because Nixon guar
antees their control of the party,
should anything happen to Eisen
hower in the next four years.

One of the county's ilaunch-
est Democrats we know turned
the sir purple not long ago
when he discovered some
"friends" had put a "McKay

bumper of his car.
When the air cleared and
cooled, he wailed:
"And to think I drove clear

The wife of one of the staff
members believes summer is a
good time to diet. So dieting she
has been, and effectively, too.
Lately, though, she has had a
craving for "eatin' meat."
He, who is skeptical of diets
without "food," decided she
needed something a little more
solid, so Friday, we understand,
he treated her to a T-bone in one
of the local supper clubs.
One of the staff members
has been watching her weight
recently. But the other after
noon we noticed she was
among several in the depart
ment apparently enjoying a
"Viennese Velvet."
(For those who do not know
what a "Viennese Velvet" is,
it is hot coffee poured over va
nilla ice cream, with another
scoop of ice cream added after
the coffee is poured.)
It's like she says: "It's so re
freshing on a hot day. And
good, too."
One of the county commission
ers, who also operates a farm
near Medford, can't figure out
whether his head swelled or his
hat shrank.
The commissioner recently
bought a new cloth hat to wear
while working in the fields dur
ing hot weather. He wore it one
day, then hung it on the hat rack
for the night.
The next morning, after it had
dried from the perspiration, he
reached for it and started to put
it on, only to discover it was
about 3V2 sizes smaller (or his
head an equal amount larger)
than the night before.
Vernon Thorpe, Medford
public works director, had this
to say in a talk to fellow Ki
wanis club members at their

"I'll give you the scoop on

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
In pea-soup fog, some 50 miles
out in the Atlantic, two great
passenger liners collide and one
of them sinks a few hours later.
The amazing part of it is that of
the more than 2,000 persons
aboard the two ships only four
are known, as this is written
about mid-morning, to have lost
their lives.
The mystery of it is how they
came to collide, as both were
fully equipped with radar that
sees through darkness and the
fog and warns of the presence
of nearby objects.
THE minds of older pecple go
back at once to the Titanic
disaster in 1912. The Titanic was
the last word in luxury passen
ger ships in her day. She was
supposed to be unsinkable but
she hit an iceberg and went
down just like ships had been
doing for centuries.
A total of 1,517 persons lost
their lives in the Titanic sinking,
which rates as the worst peace
time ocean-going ship disaster in
history. The worst marine disas
ter of all time took place during
World War II when Russian tor
pedoes sank the Nazi troopship
Wilhelm Gustloff in the icy
waters of the Baltic sea.
Some 6,000 Germans died
then.
But that was in WAR TIME.
THE Titanic went down nearly
half a century ago. Its passen
ger list included many of the
world's most prominent people.
That brings to mind a tremen
dous change that has taken place
in these nearly 50 years. Back
in 1912, only very prominent and
very wealthy people could af
ford world travel.
The Italian Doria and the
Swedish Stockholm the "lux
ury" liners involved in the
last collision carried a vast
majority of common everyday
people out to see the world.
Times have changed.
There can be little doubt that
the change is for the better.

A Reply to Mr. Corliss
To the Editor: This letter Is in
reply to the unwarranted attack
of Mr. Ken Corliss on the ac
curacy of "The Documented Rec
ord of Senator Wayne Morse."
The book has been in circu
lation now since July 9 and has
been examined by top newspap
ermen in Oregon, California,
other states and the Washington,
D.C. press corps. To my know
ledge, no person has cited any
instance where we took remarks
out of context or in any other
way attempted to deceive the
reader.
Senator Neuberger's silence
on the part dealing with his op
inion of Senator Morse is a good
example of th book's accuracy.
If Senator Neuberger's remarks
were out of context or were quot
ed incorrectly, I feel certain
that Senator Neuberger would
have made public the error.
Substantial parts of the book
is devoted to photostat-type re
production of the original docu
mentation, including pages from
the Congressional Record. All
the documentation is identified
in order that the reader may
check the accuracy of the mater
ial by going to the original
source.
Before the first run of the
Morse fact book was distributed,
we distributed copies to some
35 libraries around the State of
Oregon. It was done to permit
the people to look at the doc
umentation and form their own
conclusions.
Senator Morse is quoted in
the book as declaring he will run
"on the record" he has made. It
seems strange that Senator
Morse's friends denounce the
compilation of that record. The)
record speaks for itself Includ
ing the over 100 important roll
call votes Senator Morse missed,
although he claims that he rare
ly misses major roll call votes.
