SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday. October I, 1956 Widow of Conservation Leader Urges Election of Sen. Morse IfMFTUFlVrihfiC amtm mm mrf I Washington, DC. 'Special Mrs. Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, widow of Gilford Pinchot, twice Republican governor of Penn sylvania, last week issued a statement urging return of Sen. Wayne Morse to the Senate of the United States. Her statement follows: I am Cornelia Bryce Pinchot you remember my husband, Gilford Pinchot, twice Republi can Governor of Pennsylvania. Jt was Pinchot who at the turn cf the century inaugurated, spelled out and together with President Roosevelt (of course that means Theodore Roosevelt) brought to birth the science of conservation that conservation philosophy now accepted as fundamental American policy. To Vole for Ike Incidentally. I am a Republi can and if it is of interest to any one I am voting in the autumn for President Eisenhower, for Senator Duff, Republican in cumbent from Pennsylvania, and for the rest of the Republi can candidates And yet here I am speaking across the width of the con tinent and speaking for a Dem ocrat. Now I am certainly not arrogant enough to presume to tell Oregonians how to vot but it has been suggested to me that people out in the West might be interested to know the reason that a Pennsylvania Re publican feels so strongly about the importance of keeping. Morse in the Senate Well, for one thing, I am not only a Republican and a Penn sylvanian but first, last and al ways an American and as an American it seems clear that the country needs Morse. That the 85th Congress would be the poorer were he not to take his seat there next January ad that goes not only for the Con gress but for America as a whole poorer without Morse, I mean. Morse's opponent, Ex-Secre tary of the Interior McKay, is a man whose actions in office prove not only that he failed to understand what Conserva tion meant, but that he funda mentally rejects and opposes the basic philosophy: the philosophy tnat proclaims that the natural resources of the country belong to the nation as a whole and as such are to be protected for the greatest Rood of the greatest number for the longest time. Mc Kay not only has betrayed Con servation, but in my opinion, he has also betrayed President Eisenhower as to the signifi cance of much that was done by him in the Department of the Interior in the last three years. I am not alone in this opinion for while in office McKay man aged to antagonize practically every bona fide Conservation or ganization in the country. And so it certainly seems to me that it is far better for the economy of the nation to have Morse in office as a Democrat than to not have him in the Sen ate at all. Furthermore, so far as a Re publican giving support to a Democrat is concerned, in a free country loyalties to principles can be more important than loy alty to party. Issue Important The issue posed by Senator Morse in his campaign is im portant for the welfare of the entire nation. Are the great Western resources with their magnificent potential for eco nomic growth to be saved and developed for their multi-purpose benefitsirrigation, flood control, rural electrification, in dustrial power, and so on or sliall they be turned over to private single-purpose monopo lies that will only partially de velop them in some vague, in definite future or even worse.

This certainly is i a concern of all the American j people to whom the rivers be- long. The development of TVA is an instance in point. You may remember that the project was bitterly opposed by the very men, like Mellon, who in the end profited nanifacill e-A end profited financially by its success. But the Lord was with us and this development was finished in time, as it turned cut, to be a decisive factor in the winning of World War II. As you know, in Europe and in Korea victory depended upon America's air power. It is a long sequence, the manufacture of airplanes depends upon alumi num and the production of alu minum upon fantastic quantities of cheap electricity in this case electric power generated by TVA. Concern lo Nation As I said, this is a matter of concern not only to Oregon but to the entire nation as such it is fundamental. All America has a stake in this issue, espe cially the farmers, investors, businessmen and what are call ed the Wall Street interests. Conservation is as American as hot dogs and baseball and Morse, 100 per cent American, is today the leader in the Ameri can fight for Conservation against exploitation. For this reason Conservationists hope to see him in the Senate where ha can be counted upon to stand fast in the future as he has in the past the vigilant,, vigorous, effective and intelligent watch dog in the field of resources and general Conservation. IS56 Home Ideas In 3 states a hundred builders are cooperating with retail lum ber dealers and other suppies in building full-scale models of "The 1956 Better Homes and Gardens Idea Home." Three are in Oregon at Port land. Salem and Eugene, three California cities have them and four are in Seattle, Tacoma, Ken newick and Wenatchee. The big story of this annual project of the Iowa magazine is in the value of its 1956 designs as in previous ones in dem onstrating use of West Coast lumber products for the realiz ation of contemporary architec tural ideas in a popular style of home that today's family can afford to build. Open framing, with post -beam plank construction, stands out in living and recreation rooms and outdoor living areas. Every home in this style is another order on the book for Douglas fir, more income for the Pacific Coast states. Future Tree Money The popular idea home of 1956 also calls for much in boards and dimension lumber. Joists, studs, rafters have their uses, and the exterior sidcwalls are board-and-batten. Lattice and fence fea tures also suggest markets for western red cedar. Roof deck ing, wall paneling and floor areas of wood visualize places where west coast hemlock can work as well as any wood that grows. The talk of the building in dustry is of a market of 2,000, 000 homes a year by 1965 as a matter of course. The big ques tion for owners and employees alike ire our region's major in dustry is, "Where will lumber be in that picture?" Young America is today grow ing up in houses which are large ly like the lumber homes that find favor with the architectural editors of magazines on the order of Better Homes and Gardens. The boys and girls will, in due course, decide whether West Coast trees are to continue to be converted into houses. Schools and Churches Lumber is more than holding its own in homes and farm buildings, as far as current con struction is concerned. And the kids like their handsome. wood homes of today, with so much space given to indoor recreation and to life outdoors. But all of them go to school and most of them go to church on Sunday mornings. In the public schools metals, plastics, glass, brick, stone, often loom over wood ma terials. And this fact plays a heavy part in the enormous costs of. providing buildings for the grow ing school population. Enroll ment in the elementary grades are up from 18,000,000 to 27, 000,000 in ten years. Babies are being born at the rate of 17 per minutt. Each youngster, at pres ent rates, will cost the taxpay ers some S4.000 to put through a dozen grades of public school, on a national average. The fig ure doubles for each student who goes on through a tax-supported university. How can this condition help but lead to the economy of more use of wood in new schools? It is already happening everywhere with new church designs and construction. This should make for a new generation of wood minded American family home owners. Three cheers! Use Tribune Want Ads Easy.
