SIXTEEN MEDFOFD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. Auguit 12. 1956 President Often Lined Up With Oregon Demos, Edith Green Says By EDITH GREEN Democratic congrauwoman. 3rd diilrict (Portland) Washington The regular au thor of this column, Bob Smith, offers the opinion that "Oregon members of Congress have not scrapped so among themselves in many a year as they did in these past two sessions of Con gress." For the first time in many a year, both parties have rep resentation in Congress, tne op portunity to express both sides of various issues. However, the differences with in the Oregon delegation have not been iust partisan. The Pres ident has been lined up on the same side as Oregon Democrats a good many times in opposi tion to OreBon Republicans Take the Federal Aid for School Construction bill. This past year, the President finally accepted the principle of the Democratic Drogram and an nounced his firm support for any bill that "would build schools." Yet on the crucial vote, a motion to recommit, the three Republi cans voted to send the bill back to committee. I firmly believe that vote was a big step toward the eventual defeat of the bill. Hoped for Solid GOP Support Or take the Civil Rights bill, to give the right to vote and oth er elemental rights to those now denied them in the South and elsewhere. When the President endorsed the bill, we hoped for solid Republican support. Yet when the test came, at least one Oregon Congressman voted with the opponents of Civil Rights on several crippling amendments (on a voice vote, with no record kept): and on a motion to recommit, two Oregon Republicans (Coon and Ells worth) voted to kill the Civil Rights bill. No explanation of our disagreement, seems to me necessary, except the merits of the issue. Even though it was supported i by the State Library Association and the Governor, one of Ore gon's Republican Congressmen (Sam Coon) opposed my Rural Library Services bill. The ironic fact is that in Oregon his con situents will be the chief bene ficiaries of this law, which will provide grants in aid to the stat es to improve library service in rural areas. The same Republi can Oregon Congressman oppos ed the increase in the minimum wage to $1 an hour. This meant some "scrapping" between a Re publican Oregon Congressman and a Democratic Oregon Con- gresswoman on the Education and Labor Committee. Introduced Amendment The Klamath Indians, who are scheduled for termination of FeaV eral guardianship in two years, number 2100 people whose as sets are valued at, $80,000,000 mostly in their superb forest lands. After the Management Specialists appointed by the ex Secretary had testif ield that the law as it now stands would de stroy this great forest, I intro duced a bill to -amend the law, a bill which received the' support of many groups, including these Management Specialists. Yet, in spite of a plea from the Tribe itself and others, not one Repub lican Oregon Congressman spoke a word in support of this legisla tion. These are some of the areas of disagreement within the Oregon delegation. There are other, bet ter known reasons why we Dem ocrats have had to oppose our Republican Colleagues. We could not remain silent in the face of systematic give-away of public resources the "timber mining" Al Sarena scandal; the promiscu ous turning over of wildlife re fuges to the oil companies: the mutilation of our half-century tradition of conservation of na tural resources. Should we have acquiesced in the surrender of Hells Canyon to private inter 'St, at the sacrifice of maximum development, low cost power, maximum flood control? If this is the alternative, disagreement is inevitable. Flood Control Money One more example. This year we got appropriations for flood control in nine lower Columbia drainage districts diking im provements authorized since 1950 but never begun. The rec brd will show that these projects were added to the Appropria tions bill entirely through the ef forts of Oregon's three Demo crats and the many individuals and organizations in Oregon that fought for better flood control. They were not even in the Presi dent's Budget and the record further shows absolutely no evi dence of any interest or support j for these projects on the part of Oregon s Republican Congress men. These are only some of the areas of disagreement. But exam ined in detail, I think they ex plain themselves. If I must dis agree with my Republican col leagues in order to get full pow er development and maximum flood control for Oregon, I will Daily's U-Drim Medford Airport Eagle Point Election Eagle Point Position!: nn for election here will hp thrpp rnnn. cil positions and the office of mayor.

If I must disagree with we disagree. them in order to build schools and libraries, protect civil rights of Americans and save our natur al resources. I will do so. It would be a pleasure to have a united delegation, voting con sistently together. But we can't buy unity at the sacrifice of schools, civil rights, natural re sources or any of the other im portant objectives about which City Offices in Nine County Communities Face Election Nov. 6 Central Point Three council positions, and the office of mayor, recorder, and treasurer will be up for election here this fall.

Jackson Graham, Portland district engineer of the Army Corps of Engineers. Studies by Graham's office in dicate a flood of the magnitude of the December one could be expected to recur on the Rogue river at Grants Pass every 55 years, at Gold Ray every 65 years and at Dodge bridge every 100 years. The recurrence frequency af Applegate on the Applegate riv er and at Kerby on the Illinois river is 100 years each, while that at Prospect on the south fork Rogue river is 90 years.
