1 Switch by Morse Is Considered Doubtful Br A. Robert Smith Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - While some Democrats have sought cover during the Morse - Neuberger wmwmywm fuH R e D. Charles O Porter (IKDre) labored in the thankless role of peace maker. Per haps remem bering the biblical beati tudes for jk. Robt. smitk P e acemaKers, Porter this week ventured forth once more. In his news letter, Porter wrote as fol lows: "Christ taught us to live in hope and love. In politics, as elsewhere, fear and hate can consume the man who in dulges in them. You can be militantly loyal to your party without hating the opposition. You can disagree and still be friendly. This is basic in a democracy. Meeting in Medford "I remember very well what Sen. Morse told a man at a meeting in Medford dur ing the 1956 campaign. 'You're an enemy of mine . Section of Road Reported Complete ' Josephine County Judge Raymond Lathrop said Friday he learned the Lake county crews have completed a 16' mile section of the road to the Nevada state line near Denio, a section which is part of the proposed "Winnemucca- to-the-Sea" route. Lake County Judge C. H, Langslet of Lakeview said the county hopes the entire 32 -mile project connecting Lakeview with the Nevada line may be completed by next summer. At first, it will be gravel surfaced, but black- topping is planned. The "Winnemucca - to - the Sea" highway would extend from Winnemucca, Nev., to the Oregon coast following a route of present . highways over the Cascades through McAllister Soda Springs, and near the Lake of the Woods and Fish lake. The Nevada Highway de partment is preparing plans to black-top a section of road in Humbolt county, Nevada, which would connect with the Lake county highway near Denio. shouted a man in the audience to Wayne, who interrupted him, saying, 'Just a minute. You may believe you are my enemy but I am not your enemy.' "It is human to err, human to get mad. Christmastime is the season best suited for re calling Christ's teachings of love and hope, for ridding our hearts of malice and for re affirming the brotherhood of man. "Preachy? I suppose so -but it's as much for my guid ance as for yours. Copies went to all members of the Oregon congressional delegation, as usual, plus 9,000 Oregon constituents. Despite rumors that Morse is getting set to change parties again, most" observers think there is no rational basis for his departure from the role of a Democrat in the Senate. Morse has had more experi ence than anyone else around here in the business of being a Republican, an independent, and then a Democrat in the Senate. He knows the troubles and the joys of all these roles As a Democrat, he never had it so good. He was given the choicest of committee posts by cagey Lyndon John son back when the Democrats needed Morse's vote to con trol the Senate. As long as he remains a Democratic senator and doesn't take himself off the Foreign Relations and the Labor and Education commit tees, he can keep these posts. One-Man Party As an independent, he never had it so rough, in some im portant respects. There was, of course, the luxury of being a one-man party, of determin ing and enunciating party pol icy with dissent from no quar ter. But the Senate, after a long struggle in 1953-54 provoked by Morse, refused to change its traditional two-party prac tices to accommodate this man in their midst who refused to align himself with either side of the aisle. Morse's demands for irood committees went un heeded, for the party leaders were only looking -after their own. .With 15 new Democratic senators about to be seated in the 88th Congress, one party problem will be nnaing enough seats for them on de sirable committees, morse could relieve this congestion by turning independent again and handing over nis mue no- bon committee posts, but this is thought an unlikely, pros pect.

The Air Force Friday took the wraps off this astounding electronic machine and let newsmen, watch it order rocket off the ground 1,500 miles away. The rocket passed up a decoy and intercepted mock "enemy" plane heading for America's East Coast. It was a true pushbutton warfare, the mark of how ma chines are replacing humans, The setting was befitting a science fiction yard. It was the darkened inner labora tory of the International Busi ness Machines plant at King ston, N. Y., 90 miles north of New York City. Covering an area bigger than a basketball court was the brain, row after row of eight-foot panels with flashing lights and more than 60,000 tubes.

On a circular glass radar screen with the outline of Florida's lower peninsula im posed were moving white blips showing two planes out over the Atlantic heading to ward Canaveral. - - V- Then came one of the few human decisions: The planes were determined "hostile."

It was decided to pass the B17 and destroy a faster B80 plane to the north. It was the first time a Bomarc was "recommitted" from one target to another after launch ing. Within six minutes of fir ing, the Bomarc reached the B80. Had it carried a nuclear warhead and ya proximity fuse, it would have blasted the drone from the sky. As it was, the F80 was purposely allowed to survive though it danced crazily in the shock waves from the passing rocket. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, December 21, 193 5 Secondary Students In Medford Schools Score Well in Tests . Medford secondary school students, if not in a class by themselves, appear at least to outrank students in many oth er school systems 1 across the country. ..." Proof of this lies in the re sults of educational s develop ment tests administered here last spring to seniors, juniors and ninth-graders. The ninth-graders, both at H e d r i c k and McLoughlin schools, came through better percentage-wise than the more advanced Medford stud ents. ; They attained combined av erages of 98-plus in natural sciences and 98 in vocabulary. But all classes in all sub jects here were above the na tional norm of 50. The lowest score in fact the only one below 80 - was a 72 by the juniors in mathematics. The basis for these figures is comparison with 254 other school systems in the United States, representing a cross section of all types of public secondary schools. The per centage scores show where the students stand compared to a perfect record (100) and the median of all those tested (50). The tests, officially known as the Iowa Tests of Educa tional Development, were giv en here last spring for . the third consecutive year. Each student's individual score was processed and com pared to others in the same grade. A graph was placed in the student's file for reference by teachers,- and a second graph was sent home. Medford school administra tors were particularly pleas ed with certain large gains ov er class averages of the pre ceding years. In mathematics, the seniors of 1958 scored 82 against their predecessors' 68, and against their own prev ious average of 63 as juniors. And the 1958 ninth grade English score, 92, was way above the score of the 1957 ! ninth graders, a 63. The 1958 seniors, with an average score of 89, came close to being in the top 10 per cent of school systems tested last year. They did at tain that level on four speci fic tests: social studies, 91; English expression, 91; vocab ulary, 91; and use of sources, 92. Their lowest score was an 81 in literature. Last year's juniors, except for the 72 in mathematics, were well over 80 in other areas with highs of 97 in so cial studies and 95 in vocabu lary. The ninth graders only dropped below 90 once, this being an 87 the McLoughlin students scored in social stud ies. The Hedrick students at tained highs of 98-plus in na tural science and 98 in voca bulary. But school officials noted the averages of the two schools' classes were "very close" and "showed a very similar picture despite a dif ference in enrollment." The 1958 ninth-graders made a much better showing than their 1957 predecessors in practically all areas tested, the officials reported.
