EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. August 8. 1938 Suit Contests Will Of Mrs. Jackson, Journal Founder Portland CU.R) A suit contest ing the will of Maria Clopton Jackson, widow of the founder of the Oregon Journal, was filed in federal court here Friday. Mrs. Jackson, who died Feb. 3, left the bulk of her estate in trust to perpetuate the news paper. Plaintiff in the action is Peter Crockett Jackson, Mrs. Jackson's great grandson and her only liv ing relative. Signing the complaint was John E. Walker, Portland attor ney and guardian of the 14-year-old Jackson. Two California at-, torneys also represent the plain tiff who now lives in North Hollywood, Calif. The suit lists the United States National Bank, David L. Davies and William W. Knight as de fendants. The bank and Davies are listed as executors of Mrs. Jackson's estate. The bank, Davies and Knight are trustees of the Jackson Foundation set up by Mrs. Jackson's will. Davies is legal counsel for the Journal. Trust Fund Mrs. Jackson's will established a trust fund in excess of $1,250,- 000 to establish a foundation for charitable and educational pur poses. It also provided a $150,000 trust fund for young Jackson. One of the allegations in the complaint asserts that Davies and Phillip Ludwell Jackson, son of the founder and former publisher of The Journal, represented to Mrs. Jackson that unless she left most of her estate in a tax-free foundation the newspaper prop erty would have to be liquidated to meet federal estate taxes. Young Jackson claims this is untrue. The complaint also alleges that prior to 1953 Mrs. Jackson made known that control of the news paper would go to Peter, along with the bulk of her estate. Peter Jackson contends his great grandmother had made known to friends that she completed such arrangements but failed to uuciese now mis was Oregon Congress Members Scrap More During Last Two Sessions By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Oregon members of Congress have not scrapped so much among themselves in many a year as they did in past two ses s i o n s of the 84th Congress. Hardly a fort night passed without at least one mem ber of the state's six-man A. Root, smith delegation tax ing out after another or, at least, trying to scuttle one another's pet bills. Topping it all was a congressional investigation insti gated by one Oregon senator into a situation involving an Oregon congressman. Whether this condition can be described as a healthy diverg ence of opinion that is part of the democratic process and was good for Oregon, or bitter parti san feuding that was bad for the state, is for the lawmakers themselves to explain and for the voters to decide when they go to the polls this fall. By their votes they will determine wheth er to send back to Washington for another term their senior senator, Wayne Morse, and their four representatives Sam Coon, Harris Ellsworth, Edith Green and Walter Norblad. Only Sen. Richard L. Neuberger, whose term runs until 1958, won't be on the ballot this year. Obvious Reason " , Probably the most obvious rea son for the outspoken friction among members of the delega tion is that for the first time in many years Oregon had a two- plished. Young Jackson asks that his great grandmother's will be de clared invalid along with con tested portions of four codicils ,to the will and the trust set by1 kher. He also asks that all prop erty not disposed of by the will accom- be awarded to him as sole heir, succeeded in killing the party delegation in Congress. It was evenly divided between Re publicans Coon, Ellsworth and Norblad and Democrats Morse, Neuberger and Green. This party- line division came in the wake of the 1954 elections when Neu berger and Green gained vic tories over Republicans; and Morse, shortly thereafter, chang ed his political registration from Republican to Democrat. Yet neighboring Washington state has a split delegation of six Republicans and three Demo crats, and slight was any criti cism that passed among them in this Congress. So the spark of combat was more than simply party label differences within the Oregon group. It was, perhaps, more a case of plain and simple political com bat, fired by a noticeable per sonal animosity in some in stances, that drove Morse and Neuberger on one hand into open clashes with Ellsworth and Coon on the other. There is no question but what both of these Republi can congressmen hope to do all in their power to help the GOP campaign against Morse this fall; or that Neuberger and Morse will do all they can to try to knock off Coon and Ellsworth. Preconceived ; ' And, to be sure, many of the clashes of these past two sessions were preconceived as fodder for the forthcoming election cam paign. In any event, they tan gled frequently and strenuously over these issues affecting Ore gon: 1. Hells Canyon Morse, Neu berger and Green made an au thorization bill for a high federal dam one of their major efforts, against the opposition of the Eis enhower administration (which included ex-Secretary of Interior Doug McKay, who is now Morse's opponent for the Senate). Coon and Ellsworth actively took sides against the . high dam and in favor of Idaho Power Co., which won a federal license to build three small projects in that same area of the Snake.

John Day "Partnership" proposal Coon sponsored a bill to implement the Eisenhower ad ministration's "partnership" pow er policy for construction of the John Day dam on the Columbia River under a joint agreement between the- government and local utilities. Three private pow er companies said they were willing to put up 88 per cent of the dam's cost in return for its full power output for 50 years. Morse, Neuberger and Green actively opposed the bill and, with Democrats in control of both houses, successfully bottled it up. 'Partnership' BUI 3. Cougar-Green Peter "part nership" bill Ellsworth sponsor ed this one for two dams in the Willamette Valley which local utilities wanted to help finance with the government in return for the kilowatts. Like Coon's bill, it drew Democratic fire be cause it conformed with the ad ministration's power policy to which they were opposed. It never got out of committee. 4. AlSarena Neuberger touched off a congressional inves tigation of the grant of patents to the Al Sarena firm for mining claims in Rogue River National Forest. Ellsworth aided the com pany in presenting its case to the Interior Department, which was then under McKay. Demo crats called it a "giveaway'.' be cause the company harvested timber on the land without min ing any ore. But Ellsworth and McKay defended the patents as clearly within the mining law. 5. New federal hydroelectric dams Morse, Neuberger and Green teamed up to advocate funds last year to start construc tion of three new federal dams Ice Harbor on the Snake, and Cougar and Hills Creek in the Willamette Valley none of which were listed for funds in the president's budget The budg et called for funds for Cougar only if it were built as a "part nership" project under Ells worth's bill. Ellsworth said he was willing to see it financed either way, but he preferred "partnership." Norblad opposed Ice Harbor because he said it would damage migratory salmon runs. 'Give-Away' Charge 6. The "give-away" charge generally underlying many of these issues was the Democrats' charge that the Republicans were out to permit private ex ploitation of natural resources to the detriment of future gen erations. Republicans replied that conservation means the wise use of resources, not lock ing them up, and that the West would never have been develop ed had the government not en couraged private enterprise to do the job.

Marr, president of the National Hells Canyon association and executive secretary of the Ore gon State Labor Council, AFL CIO, issued a, press statement recently giving his interpretation of the U.S. Supreme Court's ac tion requesting that Idaho Power company post an indemnity bond if it continues construction of j Brownlee dam. - ' . Marr said "the Supreme! Court's action is a major victory for the National Hells Canyon association. The practical effec. of Justice Black's request for an indemnity bond will be to stop construction of Brownlee dam. For, unless Idaho Power com pany agrees to take complete financial responsibility for any losses it will suffer as the result of a reversal of the Federal Pow er commission licensing order, and posts this bond as a guaran tee that it will take that respon sibility, it is clear that the court will have no alternative but to order a halt to construction." Marr said that Justice Black of the court gave Idaho Power two weeks to produce the bond. If it cannot, proceedings before the court vill go on from there, he continued. According to the labor leader, the power company and the FPC had originally requested the association, a non-profit organ- : ization, to post a $10 million ; bond against any .inconvenience 1 the company might suffer. Justice Black, Marr said, re versed this order and asked the company to put up the bond itself, "recognizing that it is the company which must be respon sible to the government. BEAUTY! PROTECTION!
