For flagrant misrepresentation, mendacity, mis interpretation and .all-aroimd "silly business," this "anything to beat Morse" drive has established a new low in the political history of this state. In the latter category take this claim that when ever our senior Senator has ariseii to speak in the Senate, all the members "have walked oat," so he has talked to an empty chamber. This absurd contention has been supported by a 'photograph, showing Senator Morse speaking in thg Senate entirely surrounded by empty seats. IT NOW develops that this photograph was taken from "Life Magazine" and doctored up to elim inate the figure of "Senator Knowland with whom Oregon's senator was debating at thj! time in other words it was a "fake" along theoline of the notorious Joe McCarthy fake photograph used in Maryland to defeat Senator Tydings four years ago. According to "Life" this reproduction also vio latesUts copyright, and no one who has followed the anti-Morse campaign at all would question the will ingness of the "Old Guard" to descend to that level if they thought it woiild give Douglas McKay few more votes. . o DUT what a ridiculous charge to make and equally nonsensical the claim that Oregon's Senior Sen ator has been a "Do Nothing" senator distinguished by his roll-call absences and his failure to get favor- ! able action on the measures he ias introduced. The plain truth is the Morse record of attendance, i except when he was seriously injured, and f orce8 to be absent for several weeks, is far above the average far better in fact than that of Oregon's last Republi can senator. No the real objection to Wayne Morse aside from that unforgivable sin of leaving a party in which he no longer believed is thathe has done TOO much, been too activS, and effective jn the Upper House rather than thg reverse. What the "Old Guard" opposition really wants is someone to represent Oregon in the senate who will do nothing but follow orders from the party "GHQ", join in the chorus that all is perfect in the Republican party and all and while looking wise, keep his mouth shut except when told what to say and fcow to say iL .

As indicated above the Mail Tribune believes that such a campaign as the Morse-hate have conducted has taken more votes away from their hand picked candidate than given him. And there is evidence heire in Jackson county to support this belief. We have received reports of registered Republicans who have no great love (or hate) for Morse but who are going to vote for him, as a protest against the sort of campaign that has been waged against him. They have no use for "McCar- thyism" in either party, and they resent being told by outsiders how they must vote to save the country from communisni. Tlfey consider themselves quite competent to make that decision on thir own, and that is what they are going to do come the first of next week. . TN ANOTHER and le3s reprehensible category, but still showing how desperate the McKay forces must be in their all-out effort. to put just another "Yes man" in Wayne Morse's seat for six long years, the Oregonian recently conjured up what it called a "give away" by Oregon's senior senator. It was called the "Big Deal at Big Meadows" and was so far from any "give away" like Al Sarena, that even one of Senator Morse's most vigorous opponents, and well known Republican attorney, Robert Maguire of Portland couldn't "take it." So he answered the Oregonian's long insinuating editorial with a long but, to any impartial observer, convincing reply of which the following is an extract, quote: Over 42 years ago, on February 13, 1912, the state of Oregon sold this land to Hugh Johnson as it clearly had the right to do. The state collected taxes for nearly 20 years, when there being a default in the taxes, it was fore closed by a tax sale. Curry county on July 7, 1949, sold the land to J. F. Kronenberg. who sold it to Bradley and Leon ard in May, 1951. The forest service first asserted title in July 1951. The West Coast Title company relied upon these records and issued its title insurance thereon, and it would be most unfair and unjust, after 40 years of acquiescence, for the government to assert title. There is no provision in the law by which the purchasers Thursday, November 1, 19S6 Beat Morse is evil in the Democratic of his own for the "King con t count it is just the with the country and the is in absolute control. going to influenced by such stuff and nonsense? ?

An at tempt is boing made to select those of greatest interest, and on Subjects not previously and repeatedly discussed. Letters which are brief and o the joint will have the best chance of being published. Scents Another "Give Away" To the Editor: I Relieve that many Tribune readers have never heaW of the Big Meadows Case and if they have, kncey very little about it. My information is that private interests purchased 560 acres of Oregon timber now Valued at S300.000, many years ago for $4,200, the title to whiSh is clouded involving man? legale questions too complicated to at tempt an explanation here. I un derstand that Mr. Morse, in order to avoid having these legal ques tions determined in our, courts, admits he introduced a bill or resolution in the Senate o enact aSPECIAL LAW to "give away" this $300,000 timber tract to thee private interests for $4,200 and if elected again would atJ tempt tf pass such a special law BECAUSE if he is wrong. Con gress would have the right to turn hii down and th President could veto it. If a law student would have given such an excuse or answer while Mr. Morse was dean of the law school, he would have flunk ed such a student evt of school. Mr. Morse eiows the proper place for these private interests to have their rights determined is in 3our osjurts of law. If these private interests cannot sue the JJnited States without its con sen0, then why doesn't Mr. Morse introduce a resolution that oufd give the consent of the United States to be sued by these private interests? Such resolu tions are not uncommo in the State Legislature and in Con gress. Special iSws ehould never be used until it eias been deter mined that claimants have no remendy in our courts. For in stance, if "A" claimed "B" owes him SjlOOO and "B" claims he has paid it, should our legisla tors pass a special low deter- imining whether or not "B" owes "A" $1,000? I believe Cftregonians have more confidence in the judg ment of our courts 6s to whether or not these private interests are entitled to a S30,800 timber tract for $4,200 than by a SPE CIAL LAW made by legislators, some of whom are more inter ested in the political weather vane than in the State of Oregon. How can Mr. Morse pretend tq be against, "give away" and at the same time try to "give away" $300,000 of the taxpayers money to private interests for $4,200? We should not worry too much, however, because based ujponMr. Morse's record of suc cess, the resolution only has three chances out of 97 of be coming adopted. J. F. Fliegel 32 North Central ave. Medford, Ore. The g losing Spasms To the Editor: In the last days of an election campaign, almost, any kind of statement nriay be made or stunt tried, but the at tempt to describe the two Demo cratic candidates for the legisla ture as subservient to the S.P. because they did not appear against the S.P. at the recent hearings, and because in the case of Bob Duncan the law firm of which he is a member was among those representing' the S.P., is characteristic of this stage of the campaign. But when the further attempt is iade to portray the two Republican leg islative candidates as the peo ple's last hope against the S.P., it is novel indeed even for the last gyrations of the closing days of the campaign. Tle truth is that all four can didates are men of integrity and are deeply interested in the wel fare of this community. How ever, there will probably be sev eral more days of irresponsible from the state can sue the government to establish thtir title. The other remedy was to have a bill introduced into the congress and thereby get an opportunity to appear be fore a congressional committee and set out the facts, as to which there is no dispute, and urge the pasage of a bill confirming title. Under these facts Senator Morse agreed to submit such a bill, and I think all good citizens will be compelled to admit that he was right in so doing. ROBERT F. MAGUIRE 723 Pittock block Portland. Now there is absolutely no "give away' involved here, all that Senator Morse did was to draw up a bill to correct an apparent injustice on behalf of two of his constituents, the entire proceeding being above board and the final decision not being up to Oregon's senator, but the proper committees of the senate and house, with the certainty of a presidential veto if the President and his advisers should not ap prove of it. The fact that the timber-land involved along with all other timber land in Oregon increased in value fabulously in the past 42 years had nothing to do with the case. It was solely a question of clearing the title. But apparently the Oregonian thought here was a chance to perhaps take a few more vote from Wayne Morse, so along with the other Morse-haters the paper hopped to it. R.WR.

Big Money Talks To the Editor: It sems to me that the Democrats hgve given a most excellent reason for elect ing Republicans. The Democrats.) have loudly cSmplained that the Republicans were able to give so much more monejj for the election, campaign than the Dem ocrats could do. . 9 So evidently there are many more men in the Republican pasty 'w&d have pftived thenv selves able to handle large sums of money successfully, and it would seem good sense to choose such successful financiers to manage the great financial Qaf fairs of the nation, rather than a group gf men with a lot of un proved theories.

Thompson 3642 Hillcrest rd. Medford, Ore. ForoNunly; Against McKay To the Editor: It hasl been my firm intention not to crowd the already-too-much-so fcommunica ti&n space of the very generous Mail Tribne, but som happen ings at the airport reception of Vice President Nixon and wife should be brought to piblic no tice. The worth of a man can not be judged by the big &ing he takes on, which is well thought out aso a rule. It is the little things he does unthinkingly on the spur of the Sioment. Douglas McKay is now just an ordinary citizen, his main worth while distinction, if any, having been politely but firmly eased out of his eabinet post, as his give-away record woujd hardly be of Help to his party in the present election. Yet, here he Aras, putting himself ahead of Pregon's governor, mayor of Medford aijd all others in glad- handing the Nixons. Just as n tffat wasn't enoueh. here he was wedging himself between theml for picture taking; grinning ex ultantly as if to say, "there, you Oregonians, y a k e t y - yaketing about me and what I did as sec retary of interior, see how well received I am." Ihe obviously tired look on the faces of our vice-president and his wife shows plainly what they have to go along with, un der dictation of politics, in such small personal matters. Another thing that gets me down is this insidious whispering campaign against the most fair and honest district attorney we have had in many a day, Walter Nunley. The smirk, sly wink, along with forked-tongue talk, is mean, low-down and unfair. If his traducers can dig up any thing in Nunley's record as dis trict attorney that is not what it should be, then let them drag it out and have a look at it. As a rule all these political orations mean little to me. It's a man's record by which we must judge. An honest mistake can be con doned. But when a man's public record shows it to be as fair and worthwhile as Nunley's does, that should firm up our deter mination in voting. F. J. Clffford 1211 West Main st Medford, Ore.

Of what use is a weap orpthat ien you pull the trig ger you kill yourself or deform generations to come? George Rockel 901 West Harbeck . . Grants Pass, Ore. Will it Hurt TB Fight? To the Editor: I just read Janet Guches communication to your paper, and it left me with such an empty feeling that I had to air my views. First of all let me go on record as being in favor of a good pub lic health program, in favor ol fluoridation, and a good dental program, but the attitude that has been rendered in recent weeks as to the use of Christmas Seal money, and its general dis tribution has left me cold. If this money were to be spent for a general health program, why have they hid behind the skirts fof Tuberculosis, and why haven't they come out in the open be fore? If you were to meet 100 persons on the street, and ask them what their Seal money goes for, 99 will tell you Chest X-rays, and tuberculosis research. They have never been given any rea son to believe otherwise until the recent fluoridation issue. I would like to ask Mrs. Guches if the County Public Health Association was interest ed only in dental health, why did they wait until just before an election to provide expert, informed and authoritative men to give these facts regarding fluoridation? Why weren't they educating us about fluoridation a year or two ago? I'm wondering how the pres ent attitude "so be it" will affect the over all county health pro gram this year. Yes, it may pro mote fluoridation, but what will it do to the ground that has been gained toward defeating Tuberculosis and how far back will the Christmas Seal cam paign slide because of the pres ent attitude of the Public Health Association? Lea Jenkins 2548 Starlite lane Medford, Ore. A Doctor's View To the Editor: I wish to take issue with an assertion that fluo ridation of the municipal water supply endangers individuals as a "cumulative protoplasmic poi son. That 'expression implies there is a build-up of the chemical in the body. Whoever is responsible for that "catch-phrase" has little acquaintance with studies done on fluoridation. At 1 part per million, intake and output is practically bal anced; only a minute amount of fluoride ingested stays in the body and that goes into the building of strong teeth. This is not hearsay or assumption, but scientifically proven fact. Stud ies on the actions of fluorides in animals and man are volumin ous. A fine compilation of many of these studies is published in a monograph by the American Association for the Advance ment of Science entitled "Fluori dation as a Public Health Meas ure." Further, if there were any "cumulative protoplasmic" ef- fects from drinking 1 ppm fluo ridated water, they would have turned up in the generations of over 3,000,0000 persons drinking this substance or, certainly, in the large populations drinking water which naturally contains fluorine at many times this level. Reputable scientific literature does not bear out any hazards ttributed to drinking 1 ppm fluoridated water for any length of time. The doctors of our community, just as in other areas, support fluoridation on the basis of these recognized scientific findings of its proven effectiveness, safety and economy and not because the A.M.A., or the U.S.P.H.S., tells us to do so; and not because of some "calculated gain." Do you know why we want fluoridation? It's because at our house we have four little sets of uppers and four little sets of lowers and mother and dad want the teeth in them to grow strong and not have to be fitted. Ralph E. Hibbs, M.D. 1032 West Main st. Medford, Ore. She Wants Prescriptions To the.Editor: One could hard ly make a mistake in voting for any candidate among those pres ent at the Fair, but I am still in doubt about the fluoridation issue. It is not logical to put digitalis in a water system be cause some people have a heart condition. According to your pa per, prescription filling demands specialized knowledge. Why then how could it be safe to dose everyone with fluoride because some have sick .or decayed teeth It is an established fact that each individual absorbs, digests, rejects and reacts differently to the same substances taken into the body. So how can any au thority say that the same per centage of fluoride will e help ful or harmful? Would it not be safer to have a prescription to meet the individual child s needs? Mrs. C. J. Moore f&40 Wabash Bedford, Ore. An Attorney's View To the Editor: Much has been written on both sides of the fluoridation controversy, and if was certain that the addition of fluorides to our drinking wa ter was truly beneficial I would be shouting loud for it. However, after studying both sides of the matter, I feel that it is a matter on which we should go slow. At least 87 cities have given fluori dation a fair trial and have dis continued its use. Sheridan Wvo.. is one of these. John F RaDer was city attorney of Sheridan in 1951 when fluorida tion received a favorable vote of the people. Mr. Raper voted for the measure. Later, he was asked by the mayor to investi gate the matter and obtain all the information possible on the question of fluoridation. Mr. Raper writes: I have m mv possession hundreds of pieces of literature on the subject of fluoridation, most of which have been written by reputable chem ists connected with leading uni versities of our nation, and med ical clinics." Here are the results of Mr. Raper's two-year re search: 1. "It is the biggest fraud that has ever been perpetrated on the American people." 2. The concensus of these peo ple (the chemists to whom he wrote) . is that municipalities charged with the responsibility of furnishing clean, pure and palatable water should go slow. 3. After fluoridation of water commenced in Sheridan, scores of older people were suddenly stricken with various ailments, relating to the urinary tract and kidneys. When fluoridation was discontinued, the condition of many of these patients cleared up. 4. An epidemic of bursted water pipes and water equip ment following the addition of fluorides. Also, an epidemic of bursted hot water tanks. 5. Sheridan residents com plained of a nauseating taste of the water. 6. "We are invading and abus ing the sacred and solemn rights of millions of people who do not believe in such mass com pulsory medication." I have in my possession Mr. Raper's complete letter avail able for any one wishing to read it. Mrs. J. R. Sides 926 Murray st. Medford, Ore. Is It Safe? To the Editor: Is fluoridation safe? The following is quoted from Dr. Adolph Weinzirl, M.D., professor and head of the de partment of public health and preventive medicine. University of Oregon Medical school, Port land: There is no need for anyone to feel uneasy about fluoridation of a city's water supply. This method of preventing tooth de cay has been proved highly ef fective and entirely safe. Its cost is extremely low. The evidence of its effective ness, safety and low cost has been carefully gathered over a period of many long years. This evidence is now so complete and convincing that no one need feel any uncertainty in voting to join the ever-increasing num ber of progressive communities, large and small,, that aru pro ceeding to fluoridate. This means that a vote for fluoridation is a vote for dental COLUMNS ON PAGE 10 ' Columns which ordinarliy appear on the Editorial page, today will be found on Page 10. health for our children and the adults they will become. A vote for dental health is a vote for economy, for progress and for human betterment. How can anyone vote against fluoridation because he is in favor of the unnecessary and excessive tooth decay of our area, and the pain and high costs of dental repair? For 30 years I have been fol lowing the careful research that has led, step by step, to our modern knowledge of the rela tionship between traces of fluo ride and prevention of tooth cav ities. Fluoridation of the water supply is the most completely validated method we have ever had for the improvement of den tal health. Mrs. JoAnn Townes 913 Newtown st. Medford, Ore., Porter Qualified To the Editor: I have read the Oregonian's loving editorial "three experienced congressmen are running for re-election in up state Oregon against three Dem ocrats who have no legislative experience whatsoever." It is as logical to say we'll not have new teachers, doctors, law yers, or editors tomorrow be cause those taking time to earn degrees have not had "the ex perience. Ellsworth has been instru mental in solving timber prob lems which are of paramount in terest to his district," says the Oregonian piously. Presumably that means he solved the Al Sarena knot for the McDonald Brothers of Ala bama so well that the National Forest now has 166,000 like claims against public forest land just waiting to see if the Ells worth-McKay Giveaway play can get away with it. That the Oregonian should en dorse Ellsworth's high pressure help to aid big money interests and monopolistic grabs of our precious timberland is a revela tion that worried Portland edi tors feel the GOP machine must be saved at any cost. Charles O. Porter is first of all QUALIFIED as no congressional candidate has ever been in Ore gon history. For 15 years he has studied law-making. He was serving Uncle Sam for four years in Europe and earning three battle stars and a distinguished citation. Porter also served with the U. S. Court of Appeals, the American Bar Association's sur vey of the legal profession, and is a member of bars of U. S. District Court, U. S. Court of Appeals, U. S. Supreme Court, U. S. Court of Military Appeals, and has been a prime help in Oregon to reorganze and revital ize the Democratic party. Porter will work and fight for federal aid to education, the United Nations, protection of our great national forests, more small tract timber sales, abund ant low-cost power, peaceful ap plication of atomic energy, an impartial labor law, aid for the family farmer, social security liberalization, better housing, and see to it that Southwest Ore gon gets a better break than the disheartening results we've been, given to date. I know Charlie Porter, his wife, Priscilla, and the children. I know that he teaches Sunday school in the First Congrega tional church of Eugene. I know a lot of things about Charlie chat the Oregonian ought to learn because come November we're going to have a man in office that the Great Newspaper of the West will have to introduce for the first time to an awful lot of readers.
