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

Gov. Elmo Smith, carrying his
campaign for election to Port

United Nations' action in the
Israel-Egypt crisis. The governor
defended his action in voting
against a bill in the state Sen

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

criticized Ihe record of Smith on

FDR's Physician Raps
Ike's Health as Issue
Birmingham, Ala. (U.R) Dr.
Ross Mclntyre, for 12 years
President Roosevelt's personal
physician, said Tuesday night
President Eisenhower's health
should not be made a campaign
issue.
Mclntyre, formerly a rear ad
miral who served as Navy Sur
geon general, said the question
of Mr. Eisenhower's running
again should be strictly a per
sonal matter for him alone to
consider.
He added that the President,
whom he said must be "terribly
embarrassed" by the scrutiny
given his health, should base
his decision on advice given by
his doctors after they "have
been perfectly honest with him."
Mclntyre also said he is op
posed to doctors playing "so
great a part in politics."

After months of thorough and quiet study, without help from or even
knowledge of any political party. Democrats and Independents organized in
Roseburg recently to support the election of Doug McKay. Jim Aiken, former
U. of O. football coach who hos devoted most of his life to youth from grade
school age through college, and Joan Knudtson, a housewife, are co-chairman.
George Luema, who graduated from the U. of O. Law School in 1946 and has.
been a Roseburg attorney since, is secretary.
Jim and Joan are life-long Democrats. George Is an Independent. None
of them has ever been a Republican.
This group, with many others joining with them, are presenting programs
throughout the state proving that Morse is guilty of giveaway, throwaway,
pacifyaway, betroyaway and wasteaway.
We will not accept contributions from any political party or out-of-state
source. We must reach as many Oregor.ians as possible. Help us now. Ask at
least ten of your friends 'o do the same.
