EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Oregon's Delegation Among Busiest During Session of Washington, D C. (Special) Oregon's Concessional delega tion is among the busiest in the nation's capital as the first ses sion of the 85th Congress moves Into high gear. Sen. Wayne Morse, dean of the delegation who is beginning his third six-year term, presided over the first of a series of bi weekly breakfast meetings of the five Democratic Conces sional members from the Web foot state. Chairmanship will rotate among the five participants, with Sen. Richard L. Neuberger scheduled to chair the next con ference, slated for Monday, Jan. 21. Later meetings will be led by Representatives Edith Green, Charles Porter and Al Ullman. The senior Senator injected a humorous note into the open ing session of the Senate during discussion of Sen. Lyndon John son's resolution to limit to six hours the debate on a proposed rules change. To Johnson's comment, "I Protection Against Wrong Choice Will Be Extended by VA Protection against the wrong choice of death benefits under the new Survivor Benefit act will be extended to widows, guardians of children and par ents now receiving compensa tion for the service-connected death of veterans, S. T. Bran nock, officer in charge of the local Veterans administration office, has announced. Brannock said every election of benefits submitted by bene ficiaries under the new law will be studied to determine whether the person mistakenly selected the lower instead of the higher monthly payment to which they are eligible. If the lower monthly pay ment has been selected, Bran nock said, no action will be tak en on the election, but a letter explaining the difference be tween the two payments will be sent to the beneficiary. Provide Information Brannock emphasized that the election in every case will be the responsibility of the benefic iary. The agency said it merely will provide the information from files so beneficiaries may arrive at a decision. Brannock said the VA esti mated that for about 1000,000 widows the new benefit higher than the present death compen sation. These are widows who have no children or widows with no more than one child. The widows should file their election as soon as possible so they may begin receiving the new benefit, he said. Widows who have more than one child should postpone their election until they receive in formation from the VA as to the exact amount of the new bene fit and whether it exceeds the amount of monthly benefits now being paid, Brannock said. Generally, Brannock added, dependent parents will find it to their advantage to continue receiving death compensation than to elect the new benefit. Standard Oil Hikes Price of Gasoline San Francisco (U.P.) Stand ard Oil Company of California today increased the price of gas oline by one-half cent a gallon in California, Oregon. Washing ton. Arizona, Nevada. Alaska and Hawaii. Other major companies were expected to follow suit, although no other price increases were announced immediately. Standard said the one-half cent increase also applied to heating and diesel oils and liqui fied petroleum gas. Heavy fuel oil increased by 15 cents a bar rel. The increase was forced by the "general increases in crude and produce prices recently ef fected in other parts of the United States and the western hemisphere." the company said. The adjustment wgs based on a 25 cents a barrel increase for 27 degree gravity Signal Hill crude, tapering down to lesser amounts for lighter and heavier grades to reflect current com petitive values.

Thus, (Senator Morse spoke briefly but fervently the follow ing day on the present Senate rule 22, which allows unlimited debate and, therefore, filibust ers. He pointed out that the rule, "with its unique requirement of 64 affirmative votes to bring debate to a close, gives a small group of Senators a veto power that cannot be reconciled with democratic majority rule." "Not only does this veto apply to legislation which reaches the Senate floor," Morse added, "but it has been used to discour age attempts to bring out legis lation which could pass if a vote were possible." The Senator pointed out that he has continually worked for the protection of minority rights, full and free debate and ma jority rule. "I know the merits of full debate." he said, "because I have joined with others to use it to focus public attention upon undesirable legislation."
