Neuberger 'Blitzkrieg' Rejects Theory Of Representation Portland f Special) A mem ber of the United States Senate should serve God and his inner conscience, rather than any "blitzrieg ot mail and telegrams from his constituents," Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger told members of the Moreland Commercial club here Thursday. "No single pronouncement so reveals the shabby nature of the McKay campaign," said Neu berger, 'as the recent television speech in which McKay attacked Wayne Morse, because Morse has often stated that he will exercise his own best judgment, instead of meekly and timidly submit ting to every casual whim of what seems to be public opinion." Rejected Doctrln Neuberger told the luncheon group that his own mail from Oregon ran 5 to 1 against Presi dent Eisenhower's reciprocal trade program, which the Presi dent himself said was at the heart of our foreign policy. "In addition, said Neuberger, our Republican state legislature urged me to oppose the Presi dent i trade program. If I had followed the McKay formula of counting noses on such an issue, I would have opposed the Presi dent s bill. I am happy to inform you that I rejected the cowardly McKay doctrine for arriving at decisions. Neuberger said it was his opin ion that the people of Oregon are "sufficiently independent to fa for a Senator like Morse, who acts on the basis of logic and facts, rather than to want a Sena tor such as McKay evidently would be operating some mys tic Univac roulette machine to determine what a majority of 1 the voters favor every morning I and evening." Cites Pressure Groups j "The McKay doctrine of rep- ; reservation would turn a Sena- tor into the tool of the pressure 1 group manufacturing the most . names on petitions or stimulat- ing the most letters and resolu- i lions from special interest t groups," Neuberger said. '"Mc Kay does not seem to grasp the constitutional meaning of the of fice which he seeks. Since the days of the founding fathers, members of the Senate have been designated as United States Senators. They seem so named to serve the interests, not only of individual states, but of all the American nation, not some frac tion which reflects only a spe cial viewpoint.'' State High Court Denies Petition Salem (U.R) The Oregon State Supreme Court has denied without opinion the petition of convicted Portland murderer George F. Sack for a re-hearing of his case.

Pretty Girls, Poodles Not Seen In German Red Zone Read and Use Classified Adi BY JOSEPH FLEMING United Press Correspondent Leipzig, East Germany (U.R) Pretty girls and French pood les, two sure signs of prospering economy in Germany, are absent in the Soviet zone. East Germany is still ration ing beauty along with meat, fat, potatoes, sugar and milk. Visitors from the West to the 1956 fall Trade Fair here are struck immediately by the con trast between life in Communist East Germany and the West. East Germany is another world, a drab, colorless anthill. Shops display wooden wash tubs instead of electric washing machines. People line up to buy apples and peanuts. Cold statistics disclose that an East German has to work 779 hours to buy a television set, compared with 300 hours in West fiprmanv anri ahnnt 75 in 'the United States. It takes 65 Friday, September 7, 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN hours work to buy a pair of men's shoes here compared with 17 in West Germany. Love Animals Pretty girls and poodles are not contained in the economis tables, but they particularly strike a visitor from Berlin. Germans love animals and in West Berlin there are almost as many dogs as people. Most of them are French poodles. In Leipzig th're is no need for a dog catcher. You can wander for hours and never see a pooch. There just isn't food enough to feed them. Also, Berlin has some of the prettiest and best dressed women in Europe in the cafes and boule vards of the Western section. In East Germany they don't exist. Clothes are shoddy and unfash ionable. A pair of shoes costs a secretary more than a week's salary. Leipzig still is the ruin it was Astoria Firm Submits Lone Fishery Bid Olympia (U.R) Duoos and Son, Astoria, Ore., submitted the sole bid of $62,694 yester day for construction of addition al facilities at the State Fisheries Department's Neman salmon hatchery. Robert J. Schoettler, fisheries director, said the bill was taken under advisement because of a legal requirement that three bids be received before an award can be made. The hatchery is situated about 18 miles south of South Bend. AWARD CONTRACTS Salem (U.R) TheState Highway Department today awarded a $161,858 contract to A. H. Saxton and Son, Portland, for constructing a bridge and grading arid paving work on the Finn Rock-Elk creek section of the McKenzie highway, about two miles west of Blue river. There were three higher bids. at the end of the war. After 11 years of peace, the scars and rubble of war are still every where. But go to Frankfurt or Duesseldorf in West Germany and you would never know a war had hit them. Close In, Convenient Sixth and N.
