EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. October 31. 1956 Morse Defends Record, Criticizes McKay Outlines Plans for Small B By UNITED PRESS Campaign oratory flowed like wine through Oregon yesterday, just one week before the voters go to the polls on Nov. fl. Douglas McKay worked the Portland front while Sen. Wayne Morse unfurled a spearhead in the Eugene area in the contest claiming the major share of at tention in the state. Morse defended his record in the U. S. Senate and directed his heavy ammunition at what he thought appeared to be nicks in the political armor of McKay. The senator's attack against the former interior secretary in cluded references to Al Sarena, the now-famous picture of Morse in an empty Senate chamber and an accusation that a GOP-dis-tributed booklet attacking his record was a "conglomeration of distortions, misrepresentations and falsehoods." Eight Point Program McKay, speaking before the American Institute of Banking in Portland, presented an eight point program for small busi ness and small farmers. The former Oregon governor outlined the program with the following points: (1) end threats of discriminatory prices to small business; (2) grant federal long term loans for small business where credit is not available; (3) reduce tax on small business corporations from 30 to 20 per Prices Paid Farmers Drops 1 Per Cent Washington (U.R) Prices farmers received for crops and livestock fell 1 per cent in the month ended Oct. 15, the Agri culture Department has reported here. It was the fourth straight month of declining farm prices after a steady increase from last January through mid-June. Farmers' returns in mid-October averaged 82 per cent of par ity the same as in mid-September and mid-October a year ago. cent on incomes up to $25,000: (4) give small business the right to accelerated depreciation on purchase of used property; (5) allow small corporations with fewer than 10 stockholders the option of being taxed as a part nership; (6) expand opportunity of small business to participate in government procurement; (7) stop government insistence on tons of useless paperwork, and (8) establish an economic climate in which small business can have confidence in its future. Dulles Criticized Speaking in Eugene, Morse said "We are now collecting the dividends on the failure of the United States to demand that the United Nations take early and immediate jurisdiction over international disputes." Morse added that the Egypt Israeli crisis also points up the failure of the Baghdad pact, which he called "a mistake of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles." He charged further that America erred in aiding the buildup of arms by the disput ants. Morse also lashed into McKay Pressure for Higher Steel Prices Mounting New York (U.R) Pressure for higher steel prices is mount ing, although "nothing is likely to happen before the end of the yfar," Iron Age said today. The metalworking publication said higher production and raw material costs are putting "ter rific" pressure on steel prices, and the producers are giving "continuous study" to a possible hike in the "extras' they charge customers for additional services and special quality operations. Last summer's post-strike price increases of about $8.50 per ton in the basic price now may prove "inadequate to offset higher costs," the trade paper comment ed, but it added "there's nbt much chance of another base price increase before next July." in a hard-hitting speech at Oak ridge last night and accused him of "falsifying the issues." To charges that he was ineffect ive in Congress. Morse said the research department of the li brary of Congress showed "that 60 per cent of the bills I intro duced were either passed direct ly or put into other committee bills or put into practice by ad ministrative directive." McKay's campaign got a boost from a three-member panel dis cussion in Portland last night. Phil Hitchcock, Al Loucks and Mrs. Walter Dickinson Sr., ap peared on the program. Referring to Morse's endorse meu of Adlai Stevenson's H bomb proposal, Hitchcock said, "Morse was wrong at Korea, Formosa, Suez and there is no reason to believe that he will be right this time." Neuberger Busy Sen. Richard Neuberger told a LaGrande audience yesterday that "Ever since McKay began dabbling in Alaskan questions. Alaska has gone overwhelming ly Democratic in elections." He forecast that Oregon would fol low suit in November. The junior senator also brought up Al Sarena. He said that an application made by the owners of the mine for refund of state fiels tax used for "con struction and logging" was "posi tive proof that the controversial claims are a timber operation Ed McKain Files for CP Councilman Post Central Point Ed McKain, 52, or 36 Cedar St., Central Point, has filed as a candidate for city councilman in Central Point, according to city recorder, Arden Pinkham.

Elmo Smith, carrying his campaign for election to Port land, emphatically endorsed United Nations' action in the Israel-Egypt crisis. The governor defended his action in voting against a bill in the state Sen ate which he described as "a memorial supporting one-world government," and said that both houses later repudiated their earlier action in passing the memorial. Robert Holmes, Democratic candidate for governor, cam paigned in Coquille where he criticized Ihe record of Smith on labor legislation and told his audience that he "beat Smith to the gun again, for I am al ready on record as recommend ing that veterans home and farm loans be raised from the present unrealistic $9,000 to $12,000 to $15,000."
