Morse 'Shocked and Sad' At (Death off Sen. Neuherger Washington - (DPD - Sen Wayne Morse, who feuded "bitterly with the late Richard L. Neuberger over recent ' years, said today he was .-"shocked and sad" at the death of his Democratic col league. "Oregon and the nation have lost a courageous leader 'whose voice and pen will be : sorely missed in this time of national and international . crisis," Morse said. The Oregon Democrat said " "Dick Neuberger wrote great chapter in his state's political history. Loved Young People "He loved young people. .particularly students," Morse said. "His political record will - inspire young people who study it for generations to come."

"Mrs. Morse and I extend to his wife Maurine, to his mother, father, and sister, Jane, and the other wonder ful members of his family our deep sympathy." Differences Arose Differences between Morse and Neubeger first came to light in the summer of 1957 when the Portland Oregonian published a report that the senators were "feuding priv ately." Morse branded the report "a lot of nonesense." Neu berger said "political oppor tunisms" were responsible for the story. He criticized the "hypocritical , lamentations" of "certain partisan politici ans" who expected him and Morse to be "carbon copies of each other." Man Admits Four Church Burglaries A man recently arrested in Tulare county, Calif., has ad mitted burglarizing four churches and taking money from a cafe in Medford last summer, according to Med ford police. City police received a signed statement from Tulare county officials in which Bob by Vernon Wright, 19, admit ted the burglaries in churches and taking $30 from a cash register in a local cafe when the waitress was not looking. Wrieht was reportedly ar rested by Dinuba, Calif., po lice officers a week ago and is beins held in the Tulare county jail on a burglary charge there. In all the Medford churches but one, he said he took the money from omce saies or desk drawers. In one church, he told Tulare officials, he took money from a purse in the office while a church meeting was in progress.

More said Neuberger was "sucked in" to support the 1957 civil rights bilL Neu berger retorted that Morse sided with the southerners in what he termed five of seven "key" roll call votes. Feud Over Postal Rales The two senators later feud ed over Neuberger's support of higher postal rates. Morse said the support amounted to the "most absurd non sequitur I have ever listened to in my 13 years in the Senate. Neuberger said he regret ted such "extreme" criticism but sought no apology. Morse said he saw no reason to apol ogize. "I have never engaged in tea party language in Sen ate debate and never will," he declared. Neubeger said "the price is too high" if he had to "sup press" his convictions in order to get along with Morse. The feud blazed up anew last year in an exchange of letters. The correpsondence was leaked to reporters and published. At one time Morse prom ised to campaign against Neu berger's reelection this year. Morse said he would base his case on what he termed Neu berger's "sorry record issue after issue." on Dress Suits Slacks Sport Coats Formal Wear Shoes Open Monday Until 9 p.m. If Men and Boys Wear It, .

Ike Expected To Veto Housing Bill Washington -(UPD- House Republicans predicted today that President Eisenhower would veto a billion-dollar Democratic bill designed to encourage Homebuilding if it ever reached his desk. Sponsors expressed confi dence they could push the measure through the House. But they were less optimistic about the bill's chances in the Senate. The legislation is modeled after the 1958 anti-recession housing bill. It would funnel federal funds into the pur chase of government-backed mortgages on new homes in the moderate and low-priced field. - The House Banking Com mittee approved the measure Tuesday by 18-7 strict party line vote.

MedfordTribune Regional Edition Page 2A Market Stages Irregular Advance New York - (UPD - The Stock, Radio Corporation market staged an irregular advance at the opening today in moderate trading. Wall Street believes the news background will con tinue favorable but that ral lies will be brief and not ag gressively supported by insti tutional type buyers until the market reaches a much more solid technical footing. Some brokers interpreted Tuesday's price slump to the lowest levels in 13 months as evidence that traders are as cautious as ever and still in doubt regarding the business outlook in general this year.

Richard L. Neuber ger (D-Ore.) who died early today in a Portland hospital. Gov. Mark Hatfield said "Senator Neuberger gave his life in public service. He gained national reputation as a writer. He added to his stature as a state legislator and as a member of the Unit ed States Senate." - Hatfield, who ordered state flags flown at half mast, said "history will recognize him as one of the most articulate spokesmen to have served our state and nation." Straub Comments Robert Straub, Oregon Democratic chairman, said "one of the great men of Ore gon has left us. With selfless dedication, courage and wis dom he has worked tirelessly Governor Calls for Prayer on Learning Neuberger Stricken (Continued from Page 1) Neuberger survived a can cer operation in August. 1958, and felt well enough March 1 to announce he would seek a second term in the Senate. He noted that he had gone "at too fast a pace" for several years but that his doctors told him there was no reason to retire. -. Gov. Mark Hatfield, a Re publican, was notified of the senator's grave condition in Eugene a few minutes after receiving an award from the Christian businessmen's asso ciation. He returned to the platform and asked the audi ence to join him in a moment of silent prayer for Neu berger. Admired Sen. Norris Neuberger was attracted to politics by his admiration for the late Sen. George W. Nor ris, the liberal Republican from Nebraska, of whom he wrote a biography soon after leaving college. " Maurine also was politically inclined and it became a team of "Dick and Maurine" first in the state legislature, where Dick was a senator and Mau rine a representative, and later in Washington. A weekly letter to constituents bore their joint byline. Neuberger in 1954 became the first Oregon Democrat to be elected - to the U.S. Senate since 1914, and the feat spark ed a Democratic upsurge in the state. The Democrats now control both houses of the Legislature although Gov. Hatfield is a Republican. Won Over Cordon The 1954 election was a dramatically close victory over Sen. Guy Cordon. Neu berger's triumph, unconfirm ed until two days after the polls closed,, gave control of the Senate to the Democrats. A native of Portland, Neu berger began his writing career while in high school as a sports reporter for the Ore gonian. He was editor of the University of Oregon student newspaper as a sophomore -a post traditionally reserved for a senior. His first fight as a political liberal came while still a stu dent. He successfully campaigned for abolition of a compulsory student activity fee of $5 per term on grounds some stu dents in those depression years of the early 1930s were more interested - in their studies than in football., Some athletic department staffers, with their budget shot out from under them, never for gave him. The last years of his U.S. Senate term were marred by the feud between him and Sen. Wayne L. Morse, Ore gon's senior senator. Mutual friends blamed personality differences and the fact that Neuberger sought a share of the limelight occupied by his one-time university professor. Differed on Taxes They were together on most issues, but differed sharply on foreign policy, with Neu berger supporting President Eisenhower in voting funds for defense and foreign aid. They also differed on taxes, with Neuberger opposing tax cuts in the face of higher spending The relationship came to the breaking point last year with the leak of an exchange of letters between them in which Morse bitterly, attacked his junior colleague. Morse prom ised at one time to campaign against Neuberger this year and base his case on "the sorry record he has made on issue after issue." Neuberger wrote prolifical- ly in the fields of history and natural resources. His books included volumes on the Lewis and Clark expedition to Oregon and on the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He was one of the best in formed Americans on Canadi an affairs, stemming in part from the two years he spent in northern Canada and Alaska as a wartime Army captain in charge of public relations for the Alaska highway project. Morse Committee to Meet Next Monday A meeting of persons inter ested m committee work in support of Wayne Morse for President will be held at p.m. Monday, March 14, in the downstairs of the Labor Temple on South Grape st. it was announced today by Bruce Manley, temporary chairman. He said it will be an or ganizational meeting. All those who plan to support Senator Morse in the primary election this May will be wel come, Manley reported. for the people of Oregon and served the entire country. His integrity and dedication will remain with all of us who knew and worked with him." . Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton, a Democrat, can celled a scheduled trip to Washington, D.C., for an at torneys general meeting and said the senator s death "is a tremendous blow to Mrs. Thornton and me personally, as it is to the people of our state." Thornton, a student with Neuberger at the Univer sity of Oregon, said the "loss will be felt for a long time to come." Nixon's Statement Vice President Richard M. Nixon issued a statement praising Neuberger's "sincer ity, integrity and dedication to public service." He said it earned Neuberger the "high est tribute the Senate can pay I to one of its members-its un qualified respect of not only the senators from his own par ty but of his colleagues on the Republican side of the aisle." Nixon said his wife joined him in expressing deepest sympathy" to Mrs. Neuberger and members of the family. Sen. and Mrs. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.), close friends of the Neubergers, sent a telegram to Maurine Nenberger ex pressing "love and deepest sympathy." Paul M. Butler, chairman of the Democratic national committee, said Neuberger's death was "a tremendous loss to our country and to our party." Outstanding Courage Senate Democratic Whip Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) said Neuberger's loss will be felt throughout the free world. He said Neuberger was a man of "outstanding courage and ability" and one of the "great est, kindliest, most tolerant and understanding senators of our generation." Assistant GOP Leader Thomas H. Kuchel, Calif., said he was deeply grieved at the death of the "statesman, a man of high principle, of courage, of independent judg ment." Neuberger, he said, was "loyal to his party, but never subservient to it."
