Morse-Neuberger Feud Cause 'Personal Disloyalty' Issues U, AT mi. f 14 A. Robt. SmiUl Br A. ROBERT SMITH Mail T una Washington Correspondent Washington (SpeciaD-While Sen. Wayne Morse remains indefinite about the precise WTTmM&-" political issues which have impelled him to declare that ne will cam p i g n next spring against his Democrat- i e colleague, Sen. Richard L. Neuberger, there is one overriding issue which ap pears to he the major cause this unique political situation. .jThis issue is what Morse has called, in past interviews with this reporter, "personal disloyalty." Neuberger made a speech or two early in 1957, not long after Morse s thumping vic tory over Douglas McKay in 1956, in which he put forth Morse's name as a presiden tial candidate whom Demo cratic liberals could rally around in 1960. After getting favorable reaction in his sDeeches. Neuberoer followed up by writing a magazine ar ticle booming Morse for presi dent. Mors Not Consulted Morse hadn't been consult ed about this advance build up, but neither did . he dis courage Neuberger from this flattering endeavor. But by mid-1957, the Morse Neuberger honeymoon was over. Neuberger had become uncomfortable, being associ ated in the public mind with things Morse did with which he disagreed such as com paring President Eisenhower with Dave Beck and attacking Eisenhower for accepting many gifts for his Gettysburg farm. Neuberger emerged from Morse's shadow and took sufficiently different stands to become an independent po-1 litical Image, one of a senator who "gets things done" for his state and is not a Morse- type gadfly.

Exaggerated as is the com mon jest that the Senate is composed of 98 candidates for president, it is not without some substance. Few, other than the Farmers Union, have been heard to mention the name of Wayne Morse among the serious contenders for the Democratic nomination but in the wind tunnels of Wash ington, where , whisper can sound like a hevl, one wel come voice from the hustings can often sound like the chords of the multitudes to those who wish to hear it that way. Many months ago, Dave E p p s , Oregon's Democratic state chairman, was talking about Morse as a favorite son candidate. C. Girard David son, Oregon's influential Dem ocratic national committee man, began promoting this idea -- but purely as a hold ing operation to see which way the Oregon delegation should jump at the convention and what bargains might be struck in return for jumping. Series of Incidents But through a series of in cidents, chiefly an election eve personal "attack on Gov. Mark Haffield by Morse which was repudiated by all Democrats, Morse's stock fell off sharply. Moreover, Neu berger's unwillingness to ac cede to .any Morse favorite son drive, because, he is for Adlal Stevenson and will say so, helped scotch any such movement by the party lead ers. But Morse's forces have not let the idea die. In April Ore gon's Young Democrats had as chief speakers at their con vention at Salem both Morse and his closest political ally in the state, Rep. Edith Green of Portland. Mrs. Green came out for Morse for favorite son status, as did the convention. Because Oregon's presiden tial preference primary law allows the secretary of state (who is now a Republican) to place on the ballot the names 2 MAIL TRIBUNI, Medford, Of. Sunday, June 7, 1S Accountants To Muster Here The 13th annual convention of the Oregon Association of Public Accountants will be held in Medford Jun 18, 19 and 20, with Allan A. Drum mond, San Francisco, presi dent of the National Society of Public Accountants, as principal speaker. William White, Medford ac- coutant, is general chairman. Lawrence L. Clark, trust officer of the Medford branch, First National Bank of Ore gon, and Jerry Poulos, of KBES-TV are listed as speak er on the program, White said. . . . OQther regional accountants also are to speak. Panel dis cussions are scheduled on cur rent problems of taxation and typical situations affecting Oregon business. Hosts will be public ac countants from southern Ore gon. Activities include a tour of the Jacksonville Museum and a breakfast in Ashland's Lithia park. Headquarters for the con vention, the first in Medford by the accountants since 1949, will be the Medford hotel. of all bona fide presidential; contenders, a favorite son boom is not easily managed. Asked About Proposal - When asked how they pro posed to put Morse over, against Jack Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, Stuart Syming ton, Lyndon Johnson, Adlai Stevenson and any others who are likely to be on the ballot, a Morse partisan declared: "Don't you think he could win over the others?" With a multi-split vote, it is not impossible that Morse might carry it off. Morse, then, appears ready to force' the issue on all fronts in the Oregon primary. With no prospect of having Neu berger's endorsement for fa vorite son, he has already tak en the initiative in a bold move to undermine Neuberger a year in advance, deriding his colleague's "sorry record." Why should Morse take such a big gamble, risking the prestige of his undefeated election record for such a flimsy prize as the nebulous status of being Oregon's fa vorite son for a few hours of glory at ' Los Angeles next summer? Figures Qualifications It is possible that Morse figures he is certainly as well qualified as Kennedy, Humph rey, Symington, Johnson, et al., and that favorite son sta tus is his only way of being projected into the possible free-for-all at the convention where the delegates may find in Oregon's favorite': a ban ner carrier. In some of his recent speech es, in Wisconsin and Oregon, Morse has outlined the char acteristics the Demo c r a t i c candidate should have. They are characteristics strikingly similar to . those of the old image of Wayne Morse "a brilliant man, dedicated to the principles of constitutional government," a "humanitar ian, and, most of all, one who is not a "pussyfooter." By election time next year, Morse will be 60 years of age, By 1964, time will have pass ed the senator by for the big gest of all political prizes. If there is to be a "Mors for president" move, it's now or never. Courtesy Asked for Out-of-State Driver Five Injured in Three-Car Crash Five persons were injured in a three-vehicle accident on Highway 99 just south of Medford about 2:05 p.m. yes terday, state police have re-; residents should remember With the beginning of the 100-day Centennial exposi tion only a few days away, Chief of Police Charles Cham plin reminded Medford driv ers to treat out-of-state visi tors with courtesy this summer. Chief Champlin said local ported. Vehicles involved were op erated by William Hudson Aulick, 51, of 1102 Dakota ave., Medford; Jewell Parr, 58, of 304 Fifth st., Phoenix; and Sidney G. Pickell, 311.

Pickell's wife, Ann Pickell, 25, and their chil dren, Steven, 3, and Stacy, 1, suffer e d undetermined , in juries, police said. All were taken to Rogue Valley hospital by Medford Ambulance, service. Police said the vehicle op erated by Parr, which was going south, went out of con trol after it struck the shoul der, went across the highway and struck the Pickell car headon. It spun around into the Aulick vehicle, reports show. Pickell ' and Aulick were travelling north. Police said a complaint may be filed in the case. In another accident, a car operated by Milliellen Betty Brown, 28, of 1682 Peachy rd., Ashland, went into a ditch along Old Highway 99 south of Talent to avoid hitting an other car which had pulled that many people unfamiliar with Oregon streets and high ways will be in the state. "Our local drivers," Chief Cinders Layer Slated for Road A layer of cinders will be spread over the Lake of the Woods road for about six miles, the Klamath county court has informed Carroll Brown, supervisor of the Rogue River National forest, Brown said Friday the cin ders will provide an adequate surface on the road from the Jackson county line to . the Lake of the Woods summer recreation area. Chuckholes in the road have been filled in already by Klamath coun ty road crews, the court's let ter stated. The letter was written in answer to a recent letter from Brown inquiring if Klamath county planned to make any improvements in the . road used by logging trucks and by those persons having sum mer homes at Lake of the Woods. Jackson county road crews re-surfaced the road last year as far as the Jackson county line. The Klamath county court plans to have further improvements made on the road over a three year period. Damage Suit Filed In Circuit Court A complaint has been filed in circuit court by Joe Kirk ley, Rogue 1 River, seeking damages from the Magnolia Lumber corporation, Rogue River, for injuries he received while employed as a scaler on the log deck June 10, 1957. Acording to the complaint, Kirkley was struck in the right side by a hopk which broke while pulling a log on the log haul at the sawmill. The company is charged with negligence In supplying safe ty equipment to protect its employees. Kirkley asks $45,000 gen eral damages, $1,226.40 for loss of wages, and $750 for medical expenses. He is rep resented by Norman L. Gates, Grants Pass attorney. onto the highway, police said The mishap occurred about 3:30 p.m. Friday. There were no injuries. Champlin said, "should be ready to assist them in every way possible to make their visit here pleasant. This could include giving directions to out-of:state drivers when they appear undecided about which street or highway they should take, hut most impor tant it should include remain ing patient if you happen to be behind an out-of-state car that appears undecided about where it wants to go.", i It should go without saying, he said, that patience and courtesy in these situations also might r event some acci dents thisi summer. Driver also should bear in mind that drivers from other states might not know all of Oregon's traffic laws. Ore gon's right-of-way law, speed law, turning law and some others differ from those laws in other states, he said. "Let's remember," he add ed, "that wc should be just as courteous to visitors en our streets and highways as we will be in our businesses."
