! Oregon Senators Show United Front Against Their Political Foes By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Much as they have been quarreling with one another of late, Oregon Senators Wsyne Morse and Richard L. Neuberger in d i c a t e d this week that they will continue to show a unit ed defense , against their political foes on the Repub 1 i c a n side. A. Bobt Smith whenever the occasion demands it. This became evident the other night on the Senate floor when Sen. Henry Dworshak, Idaho Re publican, made a blistering at tack on Neuberger because of Neuberger's opposition to a pet project of Dworshak, Bruce Eddy dam in northern Idaho. Rise to Defense Instead of sitting silently by and watching Neuberger get cut up, Morse rose tcPhis defense, calling him "a dedicated servant of the people of the Pacific Northwest not only of my state but of the entire region. In my section of the country the junior senator from Oregon is frequent ly referred to as 'Mr. Conserva tionist.' " Dworshak was enrajd over a last minute defeat for Bruces Eddy planning funds which had been agreed to earlier in the House-Senate conference on the public works appropriation bill, the same measure that include $1 million to start work on John Day dam this year. Dworshak originally had threatened to op pose John Day funds because of Neuberger's opposition to Bruces Eddy, a project which conserva tionists strongly oppose because of fish and wildlife interests in the Clearwater river area. Dworshak blamed Neuberger and conservationists for collu sion and the "hypocritical peo ple In the lower basin of the Columbia valley" for trying "to dictate in an autocratic manner to the people of Idaho what they shall do concerning their water resource development." Publishes Editorial "The reason I am making these remarks," continued Dwor shak, "is that the Portland Ore gonian recently published an edi torial charging that the senior senator from Idaho was sabotag ing developments like the John Day dam. I submit to my col leagues in this body that the record proves conclusively that that is a falsehood. In reality, the junior senator from Oregon is the saboteur who is denying to the people full utilization of the water in the upper water shed of the Columbia River ba sin, and is in an autocratic man ner denying to the people of Idaho full participation in the comprehensive development of the Columbia River basin." Morse rose and said he re sented anyone calling Mr. Neu berger "either a hypocrite or a saboteur." After calling Neuber ger "Mr. Conservationist," he said it was most unfortunate that Republicans and Democrats alike, at the whole water " re source problem of the North west, and see if we cannot come to some understanding." said fMorse. Proposes Conference He observed that it was Neu berger who proposed some time ago a White House conference Northwest river develop ment, which President Eisen hower rejected as "premature." As foft the editorial criticism of The Oregonian, Morse advised Dworshak to pay that no more attention that he paid the Boise Statesman. "I think they are equally yel low in their journalism, unre liable in their editorials, and dirty in their tactics; and I pay no attention to either one of them," claimed Morse. In short, much as Morse has enjoyed "instructing" Neuber ger of late, this practice holds a much lower priority than tan gling with Republicans and cas tigating the newspapers that don't share his point of view. Laboratory Blast Kills One Man Cumberland, Md. (IB One man was killed and two others were injured in an explosion and fire at the Navy's Allegheny Ballistics Laboratory Thursday night. Killed in the blast was Ray mond R. Miller Sr., 37. R. W.

Hoffa's Role in Move To Tie Longshoremen And Teamsters Eyed Washington HP) 'The Sen ate Rackets committee looked today for the hand of James Hoffa in 1955 maneuvering to ally the Teamsters with the racket - ridden Longshoremen's Union. Counsel Robert F. Kennedy said the committee also would shed more light on Hoffa's role in the chartering of "phony" Teamster locals about that time. The committee has said those charters were a keystone in an attempt by Hoffa, Teamsters Union vice president, to seize control of all New York City's Teamsters. Said Seeking Stranglehold The committee has charged that in his bid for the water front alliance and his grab for power over New York Team sters, the so-called "crown prince" of Teamsters was seek ing a stranglehold on the trans portation lifeline of the nation's biggest city. Recalled for more testimony was Martin T. Lacey,, who fin ally won the presidency of the New York Teamsters Joint Coun cil when the 1956 election wound up in the courts. Lacey said Thursday the "phony" locals were chartered without his prior knowledge. Kennedy indicated Lacey would have a chance to repeat under oath his alleged comments on a tape recorded telephone conversation aired Thursday in which he was said to have been offered $10,000 to withdraw from the council fight. He told newsmen Thursday there was no such offer. Hoffa's candidate as council president, John O'Rourke, in voked the Fifth Amendment when questioned Thursday. O'Rourke finally won the presi dency when Lacey, 74, and ail ing, failed to seek another term this year. "We know the request was made by Jimmy Hoffa for the 'phony' charters," Kennedy said. John McNamara, secretary treasurer of Teamster Local 808 and a close personal friend of Hoffa, also was called for testi mony today. McNamara, Ken nedy said, picked up the phony" characters at Teamster head quarters in Washington and took them to New York.

Main Ashland Phone ML) 9-5831 Army Man Faces Charge of Ordering Fatal Gun Fire Fort Sill, Okla. Of) Lt. Col. Walter P. Berger today faced charges of ordering a "resume fire" to artillery guns that killed four men after his superior of ficer had stopped the erroneous firing. Charges against Berger, 48, of Philadelphia, were announced Thursday just before he took the stand as a defense witness in the court martial of 2nd Lt. Rosser L. Moody Jr., 22, of Toano, Va., charged with negli gent homicide. Refuses Answers Berger refused to answer any questions about the incident. Each time he said, "Upon ad vice of my counsel I have been instructed to refuse to answer on the basis it might tend to incriminate me." Both prosecution and defense rested in Moody's trial Thurs day. Moody admitted he had acci dentally transposed some firing data,- causing a 4.2-inch mortar shell to fall short among a com pany of advancing ground troops. The incident June 22 killed four soldiers and injured 13 dur ing a public demonstration at the Army Artillery and Missile school here. Ordered Cease Fire Lt. Col. Walter D. Short, act ing officer in charge of the ex ercise, testified he ordered a "cease fire" when it looked like mortar shells had landed in the wrong area. Short said Berger telephoned him asking why the "cease fire' was 'given. Short said he knew the mortar shells should have been fired at a deeper target and that Berger told him they were not 'mortar shells but 105 MM howitzers. "I told him to check," Short said, "and if they were 105s then I he could resume fire." y Firing was resumed and the fatal mortar shells fell among the advancing infantry platoon. Short said. Mf. Adams Vicinity Searched for Boy Goldendale, Wash. (IP) Search parties hunted in the Surprise lake area near Mt. Adams today for Rickey Craig, 5, who was lost Thursday while picking huckleberries. The boy is the son of Elmer Craig, principal of the Harrah, Wash., school. The Klickitat county sheriff's office said a search party of 75 volunteers and deputies, some oh jeep and horseback, was combing an area near Twin Buttes and Surprise lake. Bloodhounds also were brought in on the search, and Yakima county sheriff's office planned to use an airplane. The forest service ordered that the Surprise lake huckle berry field in the Mt. Adams ranger dictrict be closed to all berry pickers, recreation and other travel to expedite the search.
