Urges Election of Sen. Morse

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.

withhold them from develop
ment entirely? 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!
