Morse Said Fast Becoming Unofficial Mayor of Washington BY A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) is fast becoming the unofficial mayor of the na tion's capital. I r onically, this is the re sult of his hav ing been de moted a b o ut four years ago during the period a f t er he had quit the Republi can party ana a. Rom smith regarded himself as an Indepen dent. At that time, when he swore allegiance to neither party Morse was dropped from his former good committee posts and placed on two relatively minor committees, one of them the Senate District of Columbia Committee, which handles prob lems faced by the capital city. Morse long ago could have left the District committee, after he joined the Democratic party and was given such blue ribbon as signments as his seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee. Instead, he was volun tarily retained his District com mittee seat, than kiess as the Around Hollywood Editor! note: Aline Mosby I on vacation. Actress Ruth Conte is mar ried to John Conle. housewives' idol of daytime television because of his host job on "Matinee Theater." Ruth tells his fans why they're a happy couple. BL RUTH CONTE Written for United Presi Hollywood (U.R) I am hap pily married to John Conte and I know I always will be. I have five reasons for saying this: 1. We both feel we have some thing very special. We feel our marriage is like a fire. As long as we both keep putting kind ling on it, it will burn brightly. 2. What I enjoy most is doing things for John. Recently I was asked to join a little theatre group. He was only thinking out loud when he said, "Wonder what I'll do the evenings you're rehearsing?" That was enough for me. I didn't join. I realized he would be unhappy. 3. We have many interests in common. We both like to build things (from my girlhood days in Atlanta when I had my own woodworking shop). We both like tennis, swimming, hunting and fishing. John also likes golf, but he has stopped playing to to wait for me. I'm taking les sons. Finally, our home is very important to both of us. 4. We both have had an un happy marriage prior to our own. John was married to act ress Marilyn Maxwell. 5. John knows I. rank first with him and I know he ranks first with me. We both feel ca reers are very important, but we agree that they are secondary. By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent The reason John returned to California from New York two years ago was to do a "live" dramatic TV show that he re garded as one of the biggest challenges in television. Just at that time, I received an offer to do a long series of commer cials at a handsome fee plus royalties. To accept would mean to separate. I declined. Shortly after that, while John was playing "Drunkie Johnnie" in "The Man with the Golden Arm," he got an offer to make another movie that would have put us poles apart for months. That time he declined. And in a way, our love is written into John's contract with NBC. It says that wherever the network moves him it moves me too, all expenses paid. That's why I know I will al ways be married to John Conte. Cub Scouts to Hold Carnival Friday Night Central Point Cub Scout pack 40 of Central Point will hold a carnival at 7:30 p.m. Fri day, May 10, at the little eym in the Central Point Junior High school. The carnival will be ope'n to the public. There will be booths with prizes, coffee, pop, home made candy and popcorn. VETERAN JUDGE Fall River, Mass. tU.R) Judge Benjamin Cook, 87, is still presiding justice of the district court here after 55 years' service. work is in terms of his far-away . in need. Some cities, his hear constituency in Oregon. ings brought out, has set up Now he is chairman of the i food stamp plans to handle the District subcommittee on wel- distribution through local gro cery outlets. Wants Home Rule Morse has no desire to remain Washington's unofficial mayor in his position of power in Con gress, for he wants to put fare and education, which in re cent months has plunged him into many of the more com plex and tragic stories of life in Washington, D.C. Personal Inspection To get a firsthand look at con ditions, Morse made a personal inspection of slums, schools, settlement houses in this grow ing city which is one of the major crossroads between North and South. Its population is now nearing 2 million within the city limits, with another million in the suburbs of nearby Mary land and Virginia. Some housing conditions were doubly appalling hovels going for high rents which led Morse to decry the "rent gougers" who promote continuation of such conditions and oppose slum clearance and public hou sing development. "The pigs on my farm are living in better housing than some of the people in Washing ton," observed Morse. Many Children Hungry But the thing Morse hit upon that caused the greatest uproar was that countless numbers of youngsters were reported to be going hungry in a city where there is much hand-wringing and political criticism of farm sur pluses. He found that no surplus foods were being channeled to needy families here, as has been the case elsewhere. The city's schools don't provide lunches for school children, a program which could use surplus com modities. . In recent weeks, Morse has been trying to untangle red tape involved in setting up some sort of helpful program. He noted that Agriculture Secretary Ezra Benson is for this principle, in asmuch as Benson was recently decorated by the Italian govern ment for providing American surpluses to help feed 1,500,000 hungry Italian youngsters. Morse said surplus meats, milk and cheese should go into empty stomachs wherever they exist, but he insisted more could be going to American children through a bill to give the city home rule with elected officials who would have much of the authority now vested in Con gress for running the city. Under the present setup, the District committees of Senate and House decide virtually everything, from the pay of policemen to the size of rockfish that can be sold here. These issues are handled by dis interested freshmen members of Congress who are awaiting seats on more important committees. Morse is the exception to the rule in ihis decision to try to correct local social i n j ustices until Congress is willing to give up its power over the voteless citizens of Washington, D.C.
