August 19, 1956 Anyone gifted with insight into the future would have had considerable difficulty four years ago convincing any of Oregon's convention delegates of what was to come to pass in the months and years before convention time 1956 would roll around. Especially the Morsemen with in the state's delegation would have laughed heartily at any sug gestion that their favorite sen ator would switch over to the Democratic camp.

On that steamy Chicago night of July 11. 1952, I rode from the amphitheatre back down town with the senator and his closest associates in the dele gation State Sen. Mark Hat field, State Sen. Phil Hitchcock and Clay Myers Jr., who was Morse's alternate.'

The liberals had just van quished the Old Guard of the Republican party to nominate Dwieht D. Eisenhower, a saviour for the Republicans who was to go on and match Franklin D. Roosevelt in political appeal and national popularity. Signifance Outline This was the accomplishment in Which the Morsemen were revel ing as we drove slowly ack to ward the Loop, listening largely to Wayne Morse, in true profes sional style, outlining the his toric significance of the Eisen hower nomination over Sen. Rob ert A. Taft, the darling of the Old Guard. In their 1920-style straw hats that were a campaign fetish, the Morsemen nodded their concur rence, each interjecting his own thoughts on the rosy tomorrow that greeted them in this hour of triumph. In that convention, Morse was just another sign-carrying dele gate who placed himself under heavy restraint and uttered not one word of oratory to a gather ing which was addressed princi nallv hv siirh nntahlp conserva tives as Douglas MacArthur andl Herbert Hoover.

Nixon as the vice I presidential candidate and the j steam began to escape from, the j bubble of Morse enthusiasm, i There were reports which Morse , always denied that he had cov-l eted for himself the possibility of being tapped as Eisenhower's j running mate, for he never let 1 an opportunity pass prior to the convention without claiming he was the first man in the Senate to come out for Ike. What happened from that day until Morse walked into the Lane county court house last year and changed his registration to Dem ocratic, is as well known as some of the senator's motives are mys Watch for the Date 9 CITY APPLIANCE, INC. 127 North Central Ave. Phone S-5306 terious.
