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. Meals, assistant plant
manager at the large installa
tion, today termed the explosion
and fire as "minor ... in the
course of normal operations."
He said the "exact cause of
the accident has not been de
termined" adding that a "com
plete and thorough" investiga
tion would be conducted.
Authorities said damage to fa
cilities appeared "to be of a
minor nature."
Injured in the accident were
Paul Hendrickson, 58, of Cum
berland and Harold Carl, 44, of
Springfield. W. Va.
Hendrickson was treated for
lacerations and a possible foot
fracture and detained for X-rays
and observation. Carl was treat
ed for leg lacerations and re
leased. The three victims were th2
only occupants of the building
at the time of the explosion.

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.

Last of Six Bodies
Found in Excavation
Dresden, ' Ont. DPI Workers
uncovered the last of six bodies
Thursday night from the 35 feet
deep waterworks excavation on
the banks of the Sydenham
river.
The last two bodies had to be
chipped from concrete with air
hammers and it took several
hours to even locate the sixth
body. r
The six men killed all re
cent immigrants from Holland
who lived near St. Thomas
were working at the bottom of
the hole for the new city water
works when the cave-in oc
curred Wednesday night. Nearly
200 tons of earth cracked off the

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.
