Oregon Democrats
Hope To Capture
Control of Senate
MAIL TRIBUNE, Medfori, Oregon, Monday, November S. 1951 7
(Continued From Page 1)
On the legislative level,
Democrats hope to gain con
trol of the state Senate, which
was evenly split two years
ago, and retain control of the
House.
But most of the llth-hour
talk was about Morse's refer
ence late last week to the
death of a seven-year-old girl
who was struck by a car
driven by Hatfield when the
latter was 17 years old.
Morse pointed to a State Su
preme Court opinion which
upheld a $5,000 judgment
against Hatfield in connection
with the accident and said it
showed Hatfield was and is
"unreliable." Morse assumed
full responsibility for the at
tack which Gov. Holmes said
he "sincerely regretted."
The Oregon senator, who
has come under some of the
greatest fire of his political
life since issuing the blast,
said he did not want to stress
the fatal accident. "It was his
ethical, moral and honest re
sponsibility to tell the jury
the truth and Hatfield did
not . . . that's what the Su
preme Court said. That is my
complaint against Hatfield."
Some Democrats feared the
blast would have a reverse ef
fect and cost Holmes votes.
Holmes' Statement
Holmes issued a statement
late Saturday in which he
said: "I want the people to
know that I sincerely regret
Senator Morse's use of a tragic
incident in Mark Hatfield's
life in the campaign. Never
in my entire career in public
service have I used reference
to the personal life of an op
ponent. "Senator Morse has been
campaigning for me, and I ap
preciate his efforts. But I de
plore his reference to this
tragic incident for all parties
involved. I had no knowledge
that he planned to discuss the
matter, and it came to me
as a surprise, as it did to other
Oregonians."
Dave Epps, state Demo
cratic chairman, stuck with
Morse by saying "I fail to see
what is wrong with letting the
people know about a Supreme
Court decision."
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) said he regretted
Morse bringing up the matter
and said he was the object of
a similar type attack by Re
publicans in 1954. "I doubt,"
Neuberger said, "if the lead
ers of the Republican party
have a right to be quite so '
shocked as they proclaim
themselves to be."
An ex-justice of the Oregon
Supreme Court who was chief
justice at the time of the fatal
accident came forth in Hat
field's behalf. Retired Justice
J. O- Bailey issued a state
ment in which he said "the
question of whether or not
Mr. Hatfield had committed
perjury was not involved in
the case. Had he committed
Deriury. as contended by Sen.
Morse, he certainly would
have been prosecuted.
"What Senator Morse is try
ing to say, in effect, is that
every litigant and every wit
ness on the losing side in any
court action has lied, and
should, therefore, be denied
full citizenship rights.
"This simply is not true.
"In every lawsuit there are
two sides. No two witnesses
see the same situation exactly
alike. The fact that testimony
differs does not, in itself, in
dicate that witnesses have
been untruthful."
Hatfield issued a brief state
ment Saturday in which he
said the entire case was a
matter of public record. "To
have it brought up again in
an effort to-shatter a reputa
tion at this particular time
will bring on a recurrence of
great grief to all who were
involved in the regrettable
accident 18 years ago."
In the congressional bat
tles, Rep. Porter answered a
charge by Geddes that Porter
had refused to file a prelimi
nary report of his campaign
expenditures by sayitg he had
filed the reports as required
by law. He said that as of Oct.
25, Geddes' contributions
were almost twice his own.
Norblad. seeking election
for the eighth time, demanded
to know what Thornton
"stands for." He said "Thorn
Ion has been criticizing me,
the Oregonian, the Multno
mah grand jury and others
during this campaign but he
hasn't yet told the people of
my district what he would do
if he is chosen to succeed me."
In Portland, Johnston a re
serve naval oificer, charged
Mrs. Green with "not being
frank" in telling how much
money "is being spent by her
or on her behalf" in the cam
paign. Mrs. Green said she
has accounted for all the
money contributed to her per
sonally. '
The capital punishment is
sue heads the list of ballot
propositions. It would not
"abolish" capital punishment
in a strict sense. It would re
move the mandatory provision
for death as the penalty for
first degree murder from the
constitution and leave the pen
alty up to the Legislature.
Both candidates for governor
favor this measure.
Other top measures include
one to increase funds for vet
erans' loans, one to establish
a State rower commission
and another to allow em
ployees of school boards to
serve in the Legislature. An
other would raise salaries of
legislators from $600 to $1200
per year.
Other ballot propositions
would permit the Legislature
to change use of any state
institution outside Marion
county after 12 years; permit
the Board of Control to dis
continue using one of two TB
hospitals and use it for an
other purpose; make it pos
sible in urban redevelopment
or renewal areas to use any
increase in property taxes re
sulting from the renewal to
apply to costs of the renewal
project itself; change the con
stitution to allow counties to
issue bonds for purposes such
as building a new courthouse;
provide for a definite boun
dary between Oregon and
Washington; allow laws to
permit calling of special grand
juries; allow appointment of
temporary Supreme Court
justices; and, bring about a
county home rule amendment
which would let voters in any
county adopt a charter, choos
ing their form of government.
