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

and libraries, protect civil rights
of Americans and save our natur

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

Flood Recurrence on
Rogue is 25-100Years
Recurrence of a flood of the
magnitude of the December,
1955, flood in the Rogue river
basin would vary from25 to 100
years at different locations on
the area's streams, according to
Col. 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.
Total flood damages on the
Rogue river were $4,048,500.
