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.

MAIL TRIBUNE
Congress
look forward to hearing the
Senator from Oregon discuss the
measure," Morse replied:
"Let me say to the Senator
from Texas that under the pro
posed unanimous consent reso
lution, I shall not be able to
speak at my customary length."
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."
