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.

Giant Mechanical Brain Now Guarding
U.S. Points Against Enemy Air Attack
Kingston, N.Y.-OIPD-A giant
mechanical brain is now
guarding parts of the' United
States day and night against
enemy aerial attack.
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.
Track Planes on Radar
Far down the coastline at
Cape Canaveral was the Bom-
arc rocket that the brain controlled.
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."

thought it and changed the
rocket's course.
Then one final human in
tervention. 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.

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.

an Austrian chemist in 1908.
