Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) said Tuesday that he had just been informed of a newspaper item circulating in Oregon to the effect that Ger ald Detering, president of the Oregon State Farm Bureau, was not given an opportunity to testify before the Senate Select Committee on national water resources, during a re cent field hearing in Boise, Idaho. The fact that Detering did not have an opportunity to tes tify is regrettable, Morse said, adding that the incident as re ported in the newspaper item came as a complete surprise to him. Critical of Senators, According to the press re port, Morse said, Detering was critical of both Oregon' sena tors for not bringing the hear ing, to Oregon, and quoted Sen. Henry Dworshak (D Idaho) to the effect that both ployed by the bureau since November, 1956, and is a graduate of the Baker High school. She had varied sec retarial experience before coming to the BLM as office receptionist. Through merit, Miss Dixon was promoted in July, 1958, and now she has the, job of preparing Medford district timber sale contracts. Along with, the cash award, each emplqyee was presented a superior performance cer tificate in recognition of their unusually fine work perform ed in fiscal year 1958. Oregon senators turned down an opportunity for a hearing in Oregon. Morse said Sen. Dworshak assured him he did not say that the Oregon senators turned down an opportunity for a hearing in Oregon. "I am pleased to correct the rec ord to that effect," Morse said. Upon checking with his Washington office, Morse said he was advised that the select committee on national water resources did not give him or his office personnel notice of its proposed field hearings. Morse said his office also in formed him that no request was made of his office by De tering, or any other individual or group in Oregon, for the scheduling of Oregon field hearings by the 1 select com mittee. Would Have Arranged It Morse pointed out that had Detering notified the senator or his office of the problem, Morse would have arranged through Sen. Robert Kerr, chairman of the - select com mittee, to have the Oregon resident's testimony presented and considered by the commit tee. "This is in accordance with the policy of assuring full and fair hearings that I have always followed in the United States Senate," Morse said. The, Oregon Democrat said he has assurance of the se lect committee that if the com plaining witness wishes to sub mit his statement in writing, it will receive . careful and thorough consideration by the committee. .

MAIN -ASHLAND State Reclamation Congress Holding Sessions at K.F. Klamath Falls - (UPD - About 70 persons are attending the Oregon Reclamation Congress which is observing its 50th an niversary with a two -.day meeting here. Members heard two panel discussions, pertinent to irri gation problems, the value of water, weed control and new developments in equipment, and operation and marketing. An important paper was presented by Lewis Stanley, Oregon state engineer, on the subject of states rights legis lation. Important Development "During the past year there has been an important devel opment affecting this water right' matter," Stanley said. "There has been formed the interstate conference on water problems representing all of ory Board on National Parks. The inclusion of Siuslaw Na tional Forest lands within the proposed seashore park has been opposed by the Depart ment of Agriculture. The sand dimes, reaching 400 feejt in ' height, extend some 24 miles southward of Florence. The Sea Lion Caves are located on cliffs 12 miles north of Florence. The Ore gon Coast Highway (U.S. 101) passes through the areas, which are now partly in fed eral, state and pri 'ate ownership. the states. The conference has been informed of our western problem over water rights and the states east of the 98th meridian feel that they have an important stake in this issue." i Stanley said "indications are that these states will sup port our position because many of them have problems with the federal government very similar to ours." Legislation Said Needed He said some had adopted water codes and others pro posed to do so. He indicated that the gen eral feeling is that there should be congressional leg islation to clarify the rights of states on the water ques tion. "Those of us who have done so much shouting about requiring federal agencies to comply with state laws 'gov erning water rights must realize that there is a limit and there should be no such unqualified requirement,", he said. Shouldn't Have Veto "For example, the state of Oregon does not need to have and should not have the right to veto a federal proj ect on the Columbia river or Snake river where ' such streams form our state boun daries," he said. "Neither should Oregon have the right to veto a fed eral project on the Deschutes or should Idaho veto a feder- ON FBI LIST - The Federal Bureau" of Investigation has announced that Joseph Lloyd Thomas, 48, above, an alleged bank robber, has been added to the FBI's list of "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives."
