Morse and Neuberger
Denounce Charges by
Republican Chairman
ashington T? Oregon's
two Democratic senators today
branded as "v;cious" and "un
founded" charges by GOP Na
tional Chairman Meade Alcorn
that six liberal Democrats sold
out civil rights for a high dam at
Hells Canyon.
Sens. Richard L. Ncuberaer
and Wayne L. Morse accused Al
corn of tryin? to kill chances of
the Hells Canyon bill in tiie
House because the "'Eisenhower
administration doesn't like it."
Nubrger Not Accused
They made the statements in
answer to charEe- by Alcorn that
six "self-styled liberal Demo
crats" voted in the Senate last
week to tend the civil rights bill
to the Judiciary Committee in
exchange for southern help on
passage of the high federal dam
nroject in Hells Canyon.
Neuberger, a strong supporter
0 of the Hells Canyon dam, was
not one of the six accused by Al
corn. But he denounced Alcorn's
charges as "shabby and unfound
ed" Neuberger noted that he and
Sens. Henry M. Jackson
D-Wash.) and Frank Church (D
Ida.), all advocates of the feder
al dam, voted to bypass the Ju
diciary Committee and put the
civil rights bill on the Senate
calendar.
This move, opposed by south
ern senators, increased chances
for action on the House-approved
measure.
Attack Called 'Vicious'
Morr;e said Alcorn's attack was
"vicious and unwarranted false
hood." He said the debate over
the civil rights bill' completely
disproves the vote-trading
charge."
"Alcorn and his reactionary
senatorial private utility mouth
pieces are trying to -divert atten
tion from the Eisenhower admin
istration's political immorality,
demonstrated by its many be
trayals of the public's right to
have their heritage in natural re
sources protected," Morse said.

Midwest Farmers

of Midwest farmers just returned
from a 17-day tour of Russia
have agreed their wives would
not like living in the Soviet
they'd have to work too hard.
The 30 farmers, who returned
Monday, said the most impres
sive thing about Russia was not
Soviet collective farming, but
the hard labor put in by Russian
women.
Ail but one of the group was
from the Rockford area in north
central Illinois. They were
joined by a farmer rom Brod
head. Wis.
The farmers' trip was ar
ranged by a Rockford television
station, and the group paid its
own way at a cost of about $1,400
to SI. 800 each. AH of them
seemed to think it was a good
investment.
The group was critical of Rus
sian farms which they said were
"inefficient."

Moscow V Foreign Min
ister Andrei Gromyko today de
nounced a recent statement by
Gen. Luris Norstad as the rav
ings of an aggressor and "in
consistent with the disarmament
negotiations."
Gromyko. at an unprecedent
ed earlv morning news confer
ence, read a prepared statement
denouncing the statement Nor
stad made before the Foreign
Affairs Committee ot the U.S.
Senate.
Gromyko said Norstad's state
ment made it obvious the United
States was using the London dis
armament talks as a smoke
screen to cover up a desire to
continue the arms race.
NATO Comments Criticized
He also criticized Norstad's
comments before the North Atlantic-
Alliance in Paris where
the American general is the Al
lied supreme commander in
Europe.
Gromyko quoted Nur;tad's
warnings that the United Stat
es could attack the Soviet Un
ion from anywhere in the world
and destroy all targets of mili
tary value in Russia and then
said:
"The American general clear
Iv foreets that planes can fly in
I either direction, not only from
the direction of the aggressors.
It would appear that even the
biggest hotheads among the
NATO militarists should be clear
on this point."
Syrian Gunfire
Kills Israeli Nurse
Jerusalem. Israel (W An
Israeli nurse was shot and killed
by Syrian gunfire Monday night
and Israeli official sources ac
cused Syria and Egypt today of
trying to provoke Israel into
retaliatory action.
The sources noted the almost
daily attacks by Syrian forces
on Israeli border settlements
and the upsurge in raids by
Arab marauders from the Gaza
Strip during the past two days.
They said the increase in bor
der incidents coincided with the
attacks by Cairo radio on pro
Western Arab states for alleged
ly negotiating with Israel to
ward a solution of the Arab
Palestine refugee problem. An
Israeli attack on either Egypt
or Syria could heal the breach
between the pro-leftist and the
pro-Western Arab states, the
sources said.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Betrayal Charge
Againsl Army
Colonel Dropped
Huntsville, Ala. W The
Army today dropped charges
that Col. John C. Nickerson be
trayed his country by spilling
missile secrets and the defend-a-t
promptly pleaded guilty to
15 other counts of failing to safe
guard classified matter.
The two swift developments
came in the first 90 minutes of
Nickerson's heralded court mar
tial. The defense accomplished its
main goal, to have the 41-year-old
career rocketeer cleared of
espionage and perjury charges,
when the Army withdrew its
second charge containing three
counts.
Then it came time for Nicker
son to plead to the one remain
ing charge. One of his civilian
lawyers. Robert K. Bell, Hunts
ville, announced crisply in the
tiny Army courtroom:
"In view of the fact that the
prosecut ion has withdrawn
charge No. 2 the defendant wish
es to plead guilty to Charge No.
1, on specifications one through
15."
Court was recessed at that
point. The second charge could
have carried up to 16 years in
prison, and S 10.000 fine or both.
The first charge involved up to
30 years and heavy fines on all
counts but Nickerson's guilty
plea was expected to be a factor
in the sentence.
The action bv the trial counsel
left Nickerson facing one charge
containing 15 specifications.
They dealt with his writing of
meios containing secret matter
which reached "unauthorized''
persons and charged that he fail
ed to safeguard secret material.
The tomb of the Unknown
Soldier is in Arlington national
cemetery.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Interesting statistic:
In 1956, according to the bu
reau of public roads of the de
partment of commerce, registra
tion of U.S. motor vehicles
reached a record high of 65,212,
510. This represented an in
crease of 2,518,691 vehicles over
1955. Passenger cars alone number
ed 54,332.295. There were 10.
625,536 trucks and 254,679
busses.
rpHAT is to say:
-- By putting a shade better
than three persons in each pas
senger car. we could move our
WHOLE POPULATION from
where it is now to somewhere
else. We could do it in a mini
mum of time, for modern cars
move rapidly, and with a maxi
mum of comfort, for even a
load of four persons per modern
automobile involves little crowd
ing. By utilizing the trunks of
the cars and adding the trucks
and the busses, we could take
most of our baggage along with
us.
rpHAT would be a record of
A sorts, for no nation in the
world was ever able to accom
plish such a hegira before.
We're getting places.
4 LL this, of course, raises
questions. For example:
If we undertook a mass move
ment of ALL of our people, it
would have to be assumed that
we would be moving them from
the United States of America
to somewhere else.
Like all happy and reasonably
contented people, we grouse and
grumble more or less constantly
about the conditions under
which we are compelled to live.
But
Getting down to bedrock
WE'D ALL OF US EVERY
MOTHER'S SON OF US
RATHER LIVE IN THE UNIT
ED STATES OF AMERICA
THAN ANYWHERE ELSE ON
EARTH.
SO WHY waste time talking
about silly things like mass
movements of all of our people
even if we do have cars
enough to get away with it?
