Sen. Morse Regrets
Detering's Inability
To Offer Testimony
Portland-Sen. 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. .

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-

A car is a living thing.
And all living things must change. .
This is why the creative car builders of Pontiac
took the proved principle of Wide-Track Wheel Design
and surrounded it with fresh, exhilarating, totally
new beauty for 1960. ' . -.
The prow is styled for excitement.
The horizontal bars bear the artistry of the classical.
The perfect profile comes from just-right
proportion, unity,, rhythm. . '
The clean, graceful back contributes character where
other cars seem only to reflect confusion.
