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

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. Republicans

Canyon bill in the Senate by a
51-41 vote, so it never came up
for a House vote.
2. 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.
(Each member of the Oregon
delegation has been invited to
write a guest column giving his
side of the story on the 84th
Congress. They will be published
in this newspaper in the days
ahead.)

Marr Sees Major Win
In High Court Action
Portland (Special) James T.
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.
