"Mrs. Morse and I extend

Jane, and the other wonder

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.

But it was not long before
the two members of the sen
ate's liberal block were ex
changing barbed accusations.
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."

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.

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.

Neuberger's Work Lauded on Tributes
United Press International
Tributes poured in today
for Sen. 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

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."
