Sen. Morse Said Fast Becoming Unofficial Mayor of Washington
BY A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington Sen. Wayne

the unofficial mayor of the na
tion's capital.

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

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.

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.
