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

who "gets things done" for
his state and is not a Morse-
type gadfly.
To compound this "disloyal

dent because his senior col
league, h had reluctantly
concluded, didn't have the
necessary qualities.
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

can often sound like the
chords of the multitudes to
those who wish to hear it

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.

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

of the Jacksonville Museum

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.

damages from the Magnolia

while employed as a scaler on
the log deck June 10, 1957.
Acording to the complaint,
Kirkley was struck in the

The mishap occurred about

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."
