Porter in the 4th Congressional district. Like me, Mr. Porter is a Democrat. We oppose the present Republican adminis tration on many important issues. Yet Representative Porter is joining me in up holding the administration's reciprocal trade program against bitter attack. But Mr Paul Geddes, the Republican nominee in the 4th Congressional district, has begun his campaign by assail ing Representative Porter's support of this program and his opposition to imposing quotas against panese ply wood imports. Mr. Porter has pointed out as have several Oregon newspapers editorially that these imports are of hardwood and not even competitive with Oregon's predominant soft wood products. Nevertheless, Mr. Geddes is making speeches demanding that the Japanese imports be restricted by im port quotas. Of course, the ad ministration is opposed to this demand for quotas. It is significant, I believe, that the Democratic Congress man from the 4th Oregon dis trict is defending a program by which President Eisenhow er sets such store, and that, by contrast, the Republican nominee is attacking that pro gram. Mr. Geddes' performance is of a piece witJj that of the Oregon Republican chairman who assailed me for my "anti economy" record in .1957 when I voted right-down the line to support President Ei-r senhower's requests in the field of foreign aid. It is of a piece with the action of the Republican - controlled Ore gon legislature in 1955, which memorialized us to defeat re ciprocal trade at that time in spite of President Eisenhow er's plea that "if we fail in our trade policy, we may fail in all." I write this letter to you today as the Democratic Sen ator, who, according to the Congressional Quarterly, gave the President's foreign-policy requests more support on roll call votes during the last ses sion of Congress than any other member of my party. I think that the leaders of the President's party in Oregon should be asked to state pub licly whether or not they agree with the type of cam paign that has been initiated by their candidate against Representative Charles O. Porter on the issue of recipro cal trade. Richard L. Neuberger, United States Senator.
