Medford United Presi Full Leased Wire Second Section Pay Increases by State Advocated Salem :u.R) Salary increases of from $10 to $12 a month for state employees making less than $200 a month were advo cated here today by Leo Butts, AFL-CIO public employees coun sel, at a meeting of the State Civil Service Commission. The commission met to con sider a staff report on salary adjustments, particularly in cases where emergencies existed. Butts objected to the report on grounds it recommended nothing for the lowest paid state workers who start at $166 a month. He claimed it also failed to properly evaluate some job requirements or make adequate provisions to reduce employee turnover. Butts also protested action of the state emergency board which recently earmarked $106,000 of various state departments' sav ings for academic salary in creases urged by the board of higher education.

(Special) Many readers of this report, I am sure, heard Senator Morse's inspiring remarks about the need for schools for America's chil dren, and about his legislative, battles toward this goal, in his address to the Democratic na tional convention in Chicago. When Oregon marched down the convention aisle in tribute to the appearance of our state's senior Senator, we suddenly found ourselves joined enthusi astically by the standards of California, Washington, Idaho, West Virginia and a whole host of other states. This spontaneous cooperation is a measure of the way Wayne Morse is regarded throughout the nation. Sell Morse Buttons Three Oregon Young Demo crats found themselves doing a landoffice business when they set up an orange crate from which to sell Wayne Morse but tons for $1 each in the lobby of a great hotel. They soon were out of supply. Everybody wanted to know how he or she could help McKay's Change in Stand on Education Hit by Neuberger By SEN. RICHARD NEUBERGER Washington, D. C. (Special) One of the accomplishments Senator Morse stem the ava lanche of big - business funds being cascaded down upon him. The Senator's speech, which stressed education, ethics in gov ernment and conservation of na tural resources, brought favor able comments from all sources. For example, the editor of Harp er's Magazine called me at eight the next morning to exclaim, "Wasn't that a morvelous and in spiring performance by your col league?" Such commentators as H. V. Kaltenborn and Pauline Frederick were also full of ap proval. And the next morning the Senate Majority Leader, Lyndon Johnson, told a breakfast crowd: "Oregon is our key state in this election. We are proud of Wayne Morse and we know that Ameri ca wants him to stay in the U. S. Senate!" Indeed, I left Chicago with the confidenct feeling that Oregon's senior Senator could well be nominated for even higher office when the . Democratic Party meets again, four years from now. ' with which we were most pleased in this session of Con gress was authorization of the $19,800,000 harbor improvement project at Yaquina Bay. By deep ening the entrance and naviga tion channels, this project would have made Toledo and Newport much more accessible to ocean shipping and would have been of vast economic benefit to the whole surrounding area of the Oregon coast. Naturally, therefore, we were extremely disappointed when our hard and successful efforts in the Senate to authorize this important development were un done by President Eisenhower's veto of the omnibus public works bill which included Yaquina Bay. The basic theme of the Re publican campaign in Oregon this year is that it was unethical and immoral for Senator Wayne Morse to change his mind about political parties, when he found it-was no longer possible to fight effectively for progressive and liberal policies in the GOP in the Senate. Cites McKay's Stand On Aug. 7, ex-Secretary Mc Kay spoke at Monmouth, seat of Oregon College of Education. He came out flatly and unequivo cally for federal aid to educa tion. This is the same McKay who stumped Oregon in 1954 for Senator Cordon, leading Senate foe of the Hill "oil-for-schools" amendment and of any Federal aid to education. This is the same McKay who is touring now in tandem with Phil Hitchcock, the man who challenged my stand favoring Federal aid to education before so many school groups two years ago. Before one such group, when debating with me, Mr. Hitchcock warned that Fed eral aid to education could be "trading our birthright for a mess of pottage . . ." This is also the same McKay who stood on the sidelines when Wayne Morse was pioneering on the school-aidi frontier, often risking contumely and criticism to urge Federal funds for school construction. But, evidently, it's only wrong when Senator Morse changes his mind. Everybody else has carte blanche to do so! Jacksonville Man Wins Safety Honor Selection of A E. Ranney, route 1, Jacksonville, who drives for Ruch school district 3-C and Jacksonville school district 1, as the state's safest school bus driv er, has been announced by C. W.
