Morse Defends
Social Security
Health Insurance
Portland - (CPD - Sen. Wayne
Morse e(D-Ore.) declared here
that opposition to the
Forbd-Morse social security
legislation by some segments
of the medical profession
comes without an understand
ing - of the moral issue in
volved. The bill would provide
health insurance for persons
on social security.
He told members of the Na
tional Association of Retired
and Veteran Railway Em
payees that some doctors
claim the measure would put
the nation well on the road to
socialized medicine.
"It provides only for pay
ment for hospital, surgical
and nursing home care," he
said, "following a pattern de
veloped by many of our vol
untary pre-payment plans." ...
The senator said the bill
could be improved in some re
spects but at any rate, it re
quires "immediate and seri
ous consideration."
"I know of no single threat
to the security which causes
more concern among our
oldejf citizens than fear that
their savings will be wiped
out, or their next of kin's in
come threatened by the cost
of a prolonged or serious ill
ness requiring -hospitalization,"
Morse said.

no possibility of radiation ex

have changed through the

NBC to Retain
Quiz Programs
New York (DPD - The National-Broadcasting
company
said Saturday it plans to keep
television quiz shows on the
air despite recent charges that
some programs have been
rigged.
NBC, commenting on an an
nouncement by the Columbia
Broadcasting system that it
plans to abandon quiz shows,
said it did not believe abolish
ing such programs was the
solution to the problem.
"We do not believe that am
putation of one of the oldest
and best-liked, program forms
is the-, answer, to television's
current - difficulties," N B C
said in a statement. "- .
"NBC's answer to this se
rious and perplexing prob
lem is to accept the challenge
of devising and implementing
every conceivable safeguard
that our resources and abili
ties can fashion. We think that
this is the primary task fac
ing the networks-rather than
abdication of r their . function
of continuing to offer a full
range of those program types
preferred by the viewing au
dience." ,
. , The now defunct "21" quiz
show, which several contes
tants charged later was rigged,
was carried by NBC. CBS
aired "The $64,000 Question"
and "The $64,000 Challenge,"
also now. defunct.
Those three shows have fig
ured in "fix" charges.
Problems of Social
Workers Talked
At Group Meeting
James L. Pullman, Jackson
county welfare administrator,
discussed problems most often
faced by social workers as a
meeting of the mental health I
committee here last week.
; The discussion was the sec
ond in a series of studies pre
sented by persons acquaint
ed with social problems in
this area. The series is being
conducted as an exploratory
study of the unmet social wel
fare needs of this area.
Last month, Elliott Becken,
assistant superintendent of
Medford schools, discussed
the bottom academic group in
public schools. , . ,
Pullman said problems most
often faced by social workers
in the welfare department in
clude medical care for mar
ginal income people,- local
treatment of the mentally ill
and the reluctance to commit
mentally ill persons to the
state hospital, and the lack of
foster homes to handle teen
age children.
Primary Factor
Pullman said a primary fac
tor in preventing juvenile de
linquency is the lack of train
ed school social workers. He
said this would be a person
who would deal with children
in the primary , grades who
displayed anti-social behavi
or. The' social worker's efforts
would not be confined to the
school grounds, he noted, but
worker , would work with the
parents in a concentrated ef
fort to locate and solve the
child's emotional problems
early in his life.
He noted that there are no
school social workers employ
ed in this area.
Untrained Mothers
.The problem of vocational
ly untrained mothers who are
left by divorce, desertion or
death of the husband was pre
sented to the committee. Pull
man; said these women who
seek welfare help usually
have never completed high
school : and few have had
work experience. Many of
them would be trainable, he
said, and are interested, but
there, are no funds available
for systematic training neces
sary to get skilled jobs.
The mental health commit
tee is composed of persons of
many professions who are in
terested in the community's
social problems. The group
formulated-, machinery to -de--
velop the Child Guidance
Clinic and a family counsel
ing service here.
- The next meeting of the
committee will be in the coun
ty health department office
Thursday, Nov. 19. Commit
tee meetings are open to any
one interested.

HEARING AID
"PARADEOF
PROGRESS
Round Butte Hearing Ended
Clos i n g S ta te m e n t Dead I i ne Set
Portland. -. (UPB - The state
water resources board hearing
on Portland General Electric's
application , for a license .to
build Round Butte dam on
the Deschutes river came to
a close Friday with reams of
testimony added to the files.
The hearing lasted all week.
The spawning habits of sal
mon and rainbow trout were
aired by Charles Campbell,
biologist for the state game
commission. : ;
Campbell appeared under
subpoena and testified that
spring chinook and steelhead
salmon do spawn on the main
stream of the river below
Pelton dam.
He was called by opponents
of the dam. He said that rain
bow trout ; are believed to
spawn in the same area but
added that it was not a proven
fact. . v
Opponents of the project
are trying to prove that reduc
tion of streamflow, proposed
impair spawning beds down
in plans for, the dam, 'would
stream. . -
Fish Uncertain
Campbell and other biolo
gists who appeared at ' the
hearing qualified their re
marks about spawning and the
uncertainties of the habits of
fish. - - . -
Campbell. commented:
"One thing about ' fish - if
you ever pin them down to
one thing, the next one's go
ing to make a liar out of you.
Campbell"- said the game
commission estimates that
some 15,000 to 20,000 mature
steelhead salmon : enter the
mouth of the Deschutes river
compared to the approximate
ly 1,500 that pass Pelton dam.
He said the balance are either
taken by anglers or spawn in
the lower reaches of the river.
Proposed operation of Round
Butte dam would decrease
streamflow to 3,000 cubic feet
per -second in April of low
water years. April minimum
flows over, the last 10 years
have ; averaged 5,047 second
feet with., the lowest of the
period at 4,020 second feet. :
Campbell testified that a re
duction from 4,000 second
feet to 3,000 would reduce the
satisfactory spawning a r e a
but added that a 3,000 second
feet.flpw is also possible un
der natural conditions.
; Campbell also told the hear
ing, that experience with main
taining, trout fisheries in res
ervoir conditions is second to
natural " conditions. He . cited
as an example the Lookout
Point - dam reservoir on the
Middle Fork Willamette river
as "practically a 'loss to us
from the game fish stand
point:? - V '. : :
The state -game and ,' fish
commission -have taken a
stand against tne proposed
dam before the. state hydro-
electric commission but not
before the water . resources
board.
The Izaak Walton league
has also come out against the
project, as have individual
fishermen. . . .
- -The - Portland Chamber of
Commerce has1 recommended
the dam "subject to such mod
ifications as the board may
deem necessary to safeguard
I migratory fish and to enhance
recreation.
Both sides have been given
until Oct 23 to file closing
statements with the board.
