Oeason tBeBiind Elilorse-ENleuberger Feud Washington-(CQ) -The lat ent Washington riddle: Why SJrould a man denounce a Jllt?ue who has agreed ith him on 85 per cent of the issues they have faced - together? The man referred to, of course, is Oregon's stormy, former - Republican, former Independent and now-Democratic senior Senator, Wayne Morse. Morse last week announced he would oppose the renom- Tree Improvement Visible With End of Virgin Stands Near Corvallis - Th end of Ore gon's vast virgin forests is in sight this Centennial Year, but ahead is an era of tree im provement that will make the trees of 2059 "bigger and bet ter than ever," say forestry leaders )t Oregon State col lege. forest trees in the next cen tury will be raised as a long time "crop" and will be im proved just as farm crops -grfins and grasses, fruits and jetables have been made ) 1 1 e r with breeding and management programs. Seed orchards of carefully selected, performance - tested trees will provide superior seed. Forest genetics pro grams will be aimed at devel oping trees that combine the best possible characteristics of growth rate, wood quality, , nd drought and disease resis tance. Costs Ar Sam "It costs approximately the same per acre to raise a good forest as a poor one" and for ests of tomorrow must be good to serve the needs of an increasing population and to compete with other land uses, Leo Isaac, a Northwest pion eer in .tree research points out. Isaac, now retired from the U.S.' forest service, was special lecturer this year in the OSC school of forestry. Great forest improvements in many parts of the world have come through the intro duction of better tree species from ether Jands, Isaac report Td. Oregon's state tree, Doug las fir, for, example, has been introduced to Europe, Austra lia, New Zealand, and South Africa and has made better growth in most locations than the native trees of these nations. Interestingly enough, fine plantings of Douglas fir also can be found in Scotland, home of botanist David Doug las, who named the fir on an 1825 trip here. . Introduced . species from other countries do not soem to offer much to the North &t, however, Isaac noted. 9 o m e 150 . evergreens from ground the world have been glnted in the region and com pared with Douglas fir and other native species. None of the foreign species could mea sure up to the local trees. The fact that the North west has the "world's finest" trees dpesn't mean big im provements aren't possible, Isaac continued, and research, will point the way. At Corvallis, three outstand ing forest geneticists are at work on a combined research program. The three scientists are Helge Irgens-Moller of the OSC forest research division; Roy Slen, U.S. forest service: and Kim Ching, Oregon For- esT Lands Research Center, Their work is already attract ing national attention. "Forestry differs from oth er crops because the improve ment must come in the very beginning," Isaac observed. , "If you plant the wrong wheat seed, you can get better seed a year later. But if you plant Seed Growers Okay Commission Salem Oregon growers of highland bentgrass seed ap proved by a vote of 187 to 33 the formation of a self-help commission for their commod ity.

Among First Step One of the first steps that can be taken in tree improve ment is to leave better than average trees for a seed source, he noted. Very often only scrub trees are left to produce seed after a cutting operation and the forest can go only one way down.

In this dis patch one of Australia's most force ful spokesmen explains his coun try's view of the U.S.-Australian partnership in world affairs. By R. G. CASEY Australian Minister for External Affairs (Written for UPI) Canberra- (UPD -The United States of America occupies a significant place in Austral ian foreign policy. We have a long history of friendly as sociation in peace and war. Australia staunchly sup ports the doctrine of interde pendence and like every oth er country in the Western world places great store in its relations with the United States. We share the respon sibilities as well as the bene fits which this entails. Like the United States, Aus tralia recognizes that nation alism is a dominant force in Asia today. We ask only that nationalism should be allow ed to develop along lines which are constructive and which do not cut across the interests of peoples who for good reasons of their own do not share the aspirations of any particular national group. We are particularly concern ed that nationalism should not become an empty shell ex ploited by Communist or dan gerously left-wing forces. Much Leeway Australia is aware that the less developed nations have a great deal of leeway to make up and that the maintenance of social order depends in a large degree on the establish ment of a standard of living that enables human dignity to be maintained. But eco nomic and social problems are not the only ones. The Communists aim to set up barriers between the peo ples of the West and the new ly-independent nations of Get Rosarita Reined Beans at jaut smear's.

How Much Disagreement? The first two years Neu berger was in the Senate, 1955-56, he and Morse agreed on 91 per cent of the roll calls on which both took a stand. Only 10 staate delega tions showed as much harm ony in the Senate that Con gress. In the 85th Congress (1957 58), their percentage of agree- in natural stands is a recent and highly promising develop ment, Isaac said. Superior trees are also now being sought out and "registered" much like outstanding live stock. About 250 trees are now recorded in the "plus tree" register for the North west, he said. Offspring of such trees are tested and if found genetical ly good, the parent tree be comes a certified or "elite" tree and can be used indefi nitely for propagation pur poses. Asia. Also, many countries in the Eastern Hemisphere the twin threats of subversion and the useof its extensive mili tary power. The countries around the rim of China can survive in freedom only if they remain steadfast and if their friends give them sup port. We have seen recently a resort to force by the Com munists in the Formosa strait. Australia has welcomed the firm enunciation by the Unit ed States of the principle that there should be no resort to force to solve territorial dis putes. 'This is' highly impor tant to all countries on which the shadow of potential Chi nese aggression falls. Don't Always Agree Had the United States giv en way un der Communist Chinese military pressure at Quemoy, ' this would have been interpreted by the Com munists as leaving the way open for further probing and the progressive nibbling away of free world positions. We speak our mind freely and in confidence in our day-to-day contacts with the Unit ed States Administration. We do not always agree with United States policy, but when we disagree we express our selves in private. This does not detract in any way from our overriding aim to be a helpful and loyal partner in the defense of the free world. My personal associations with the United States have been long, frequent and hap py. I first visited the United States before the first World War and in the early 1920s I spent more than a year as an engineer in many parts of the United States. I was Aus tralia's first Minister to Wash ington from 1940 to 1942. Since then I have visited the United States almost every year.

But Congressional Quarterly figures show' that even in that Congress, three other Democratic delegations -from Louisiana, Arkansas and South Carolina-and sev en Republican dejegations from California, Kentucky, New Jersey, North Dakota, Indiana, Vermont and Kansas -split as often as Morse and Neuberger did. Through June 9 of this year, the Oregonians agreed on 85 per cent of the roll calls on which both took stands. In view of the fact that the number of disagreements have not been unprecedented many Democratic leaders at tribute the Morse-Neuberger breakup primarily to person ality differences. That may be so, but Morse has made it plain that he vis going to base his case against Neuberger "on the sorry rec ord he has made on issue after issue." What will he talk about?

ED MILNE'S QUAUTC (Presents most, foreign policy. .Congres sional Quarterly figures show that in the last Congress, Neu berger backed the President's foreign policy stands twice as often as Morse did-89 per cent to 45 per cent. Thirteen times in 1957-58, Morse voted for cuts or against increases in the Ad ministration foreign aiad pro gram. Neuberger opposed him in every one. Morse opposed the 1955 Formosa Resolution and - the 1957 Mideast Doc-trine-both keystones -of the Eiesnhower foreign poilcy. On both, Neuberger voted with the President. They have also "differed on various amendments to the Reciprocal Trade Program, with Neuberger generally op posing additional import re strictions. ( Domestic Issues . In the domestic field, civil rights and fiscal policy may be the key issues between the two men. Both describe themselves as backers of civil rights, but they differed sharply on the PACKAGE 5 lbs.

In 1957, Morse opposed the parliamentary strategy of detouring the House-passed civil rights bill around the Senate Judiciary Committee. He opposed passage of the Senate's compromise, version of the bill and opposed ac ceptance of the House amend ment providing jury trials for defendants in some voting rights cases. . Neuberger took the oppo site stands on all key strate gic questions, and he and Morse are still arguing who was right. In fiscal matters, both men would probably be classified by Republicans as "spenders," but CQ figures show Morse backed more moves than Neu berger in the lats Congress to cut' Government outlays mainly for foreign aid. However, Neuberger in 1958 cited the need for "fis cal integrity" in opposing eight moves supported by Morse to cut taxes during the recession.
