MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdfortf, Or.
Monday, August 3, 1959
By A. 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-

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. Willamette

The reader is cautioned not
to apply these cases to his
own problems without an
attorney's advice., for dif
fering facts may change
the outcome.
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.
