ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) hints that he may not go along with the proposal to rename a Willam e t t e v a 1 ley dam for Douglas McKay. Bills to change the name of I Green P e t er dam, a pro- a. Robt Smitb pos e a mum purpose project on the Middle Santiam river, to be Douglas McKay dam and reservoir have been introduced by Sen. Richard L. Neuberger CD Ore.), Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) and Rep Walter Nor blad (R-Ore.) Asked for his reaction, Morse said briskly: "No Com ment." When pressed to ex press his view, Morse said he thought his answer was both "direct and illuminating" as to his feelings on the matter. Anticipates Action Congressman Porter, in a House speech last Monday, appeared to anticipate that Morse might not greet the idea enthusiastically. He said "Won't some Democrats, es pecially those who remember his opposition to Hells Can yon dam, object? I suppose they will." Porter recalled that he took part in the 1956 campaign when McKay tried to unseat Morse. "Many of the tactics used by the McKay forces, I don't say McKay himself, were more than questionable," Por ter said. "However, those tac tics boomeranged and Sena tor Morse won by some 60,- 000 votes. Should these tac tics and McKay's differences of political and economic be liefs lead to opposition by Democrats in Oregon or else where to the proposed legis lation? I think not. The man who has the most reason to refuse to let bygones be by gones is Wayne Morse. How does he feel? Answers Own Question Porter answered his own question by noting that Morse had praised McKay's recent work on the International Joint commission, There may be more than honor involved in the renam ing idea. The dam hasn't been built yet and efforts of Ore- Play Safe with those New Miracle Fabrics! u t-S f $k Is rely on NU-WAY'S Saniione Dry Cleaning Featuring Soft-Sef Many of the new fabrics require really extra special care when it comes to cleaning.

CHRISTENSEN gon's congressional Demo crats to obtain funds to start its construction under the name of Green Peter dam have so far failed. The Senate last year ap proved construction funds, but the House insisted on de leting this item from the pub lic works appropriation bill before it went to the White House. -Less Frugal Mood This year the decision is just around the corner. Again the Senate added $1.5 million for Green Peter, but this is subject to House-Senate con ference approval. The House this year is in a less frugal mood, for it agreed to add a few new projects not in the administrations budget. But since the Senate added Green Peter and others, Pres ident Eisenhower has sent up a warning in a letter to Rep, John Taber (R-N.Y.), express ing alarm over the size of the bill. He hinted he is set to veto the measure if it is not trimmed back toward his lower budget figures. A trimming operation might easily cut out funds for Green Peter dam, an all-federal pro ject that has some Democratic backers but no special appeal to Republicans. The question is whether the president and Republicans would oppose funds to start a dam that would honor the late cabinet officer. Disclaims Thought Neuberger, who disclaims any thought that renaming it would get funds approved more readily, said: "I don't think if we called it Florence Nightingale dam it would soften the hearts of the presi dent's budget advisors." The main issue is the cur rent battle of the budget -with the president trying to hold down "spending", and the Democrats in Congress showing increasing frustra tion over how to overcome his power to hold them in line with the veto. One stratagem being con sidered by Democrats is to hold back the public works appropriation bill until near adjournment. If the president then vetoed it after Congress left town, this would cut off all funds for the Corps of En gineers, Bonneville Power administration, bureau of rec lamation and related agen cies. But Eisenhower could sign it and order federal agencies not to spend the money for projects he disapproved of. What Is The Law? This column is prepared as a public serrice by the College of Law.

Husband Can Give Away Holdings to Spile Widow During his 25 years of mar riage to Ann, Joe held exten sive holdings in various com panies, as well as the title to their home. Although Ann had always been a faithful and devoted wife, 51-year-old Joe began to find fault with her and -sked for a divorce. When Ann refused, he moved to another city to live by himself. Joe tfid not war.t Ann to get his property, and, shortly before his death five years later, he gave all of it to his cronies. He did not. exe cute a will. Unfortunately. Ann has no rights to any of the p -perty Joe nad given away oxcept for a "life estate" in one-half of the house. Furthermore, that "life estate" is of little value since the other owners can force the sale of the house, and Ann might receive only a small sum of money. Important Asset Ann's right to the land dates bak to early English law which gives a widow "dower" right in all of the land owned by her husband; he could not deprive her of this right by a transfer during his lifetime or at his death. Land was then man's most important asset, but most wealth in the United States today is held in personal prop erty rather than land. Thus Ann's "dower" right is a small part of the marital property picture. Had Jce not given away his holdi cs before his death, most states would give Ann a certain "guaranteed'? share of her deceased husband's per sonal property (one fourth in Oregon) as well as lano. Thus she could not be completely disinherited by will. But Joe had nothing left to will when he died; and only be cause Oregon is one of a few states which recognizes 'com mon law dower" (which pro tects the wife's interest in land from a lifetime transfer by her husban) docs Ann re tain a limited interest in the house. Legislatures have passed statutes clearly leaving this lifetime transfer "loophole" in the law. While many courts have recognized the unfortu nate state of the law in rela tion to the rights of a widow, the courts cannot change the law. Some jurists have sug gested that because most leg islators are men, the lawmak ers have deliberately left an but" for the male property holder.
