In a broad sense, Morse and Kennedy have voted alike on a host of issues over the I years. But they have differed i in some particulars. It is these f differences which Morse now f points to with criticism. Here are the various do- mestic legislative issues and '. what (he CQ record shows: Education - Kennedy has ! voted for federal aid to edu- J cation in a variety of forms, .starting with the National ,- Science Foundation Act in 1950 through the bill passed 'W!G r i v 'v ...

But when the teachers' salary is sue came up on the Senate floor this year, Kennedy sup ported it. Kennedy opposed Morse's unsuccessful amend ment to offer loans to private and parochial schools. Kennedy has led an unsuc cessful effort to repeal the loyalty oath now required un der the Defense Education Act, a proviso which has caused several colleges, such as Reed, to shun participation in the Act's student loan pro grams. As a congressman in 1950, Kennedy supported an unsuccessful move to kill the Library Services Demonstra tion Act. Housing - Kennedy, like Morse, has always supported federal housing proposals go ing back to the Taft-Wagner bill of 1848. He has voted for more public housing and for expanded urban renewal pro grams, which in recent years have met with Administration opposition. No apparent dif ference between Morse and Kennedy in this field. Civil Rights - Generally, both senators have supported federal legislation to assure civil rights, to curb filibusters, and have opposed tighter re strictions on immigration. Both voted for tougher pro visions than were adopted by the Senate in the 1357 and 1980 civil rights bill. Morse, however, voted against final jrtv-je. jwev1"'' jry?-! t ? 5 T wife of the former secretary of defense, will christen the. carrier, which is 1,039 feet long and 250 feet wide.

That was what ailed a pa tient named "Crud" at the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medi cine clinic. The patient was an eight- foot, three-inch boa constrict or owned by Dick Parr, a stu dent at the University of Ida ho nine miles from here. A wonder drug did wonders for "Crud," but he had to do his r e c u p e r ating at Parr's boarding house. The WSC clinic first doesn't have facili ties for housing sick boa con strictors.

As a congressman, Kennedy voted against a fair employ ment practices act in 1950 and against Hawaiian statehood the same year, although he voted for Alaska statehood. As a senator he voted for statehood for both territories, as had Morse from the start. Agriculture - Ken n e d y, taking office as a new senator when the Eisenhower Admin istration came in, was one of a handful of Democrats who voted for Agriculture Secre tary Benson's plan for sliding scale price supports, and against efforts to maintain 90 per cent of parity supports. In 1956 he voted against the domestic parity wheat plan which Oregon growers want ed. He voted for the soil bank, and he voted to reduce funds for the soil conservation pay ments program. In more recent years, Ken nedy has shifted by voting in 1958 for a move to ban any further reductions in price supports or acreage allot ments, and in 1959 against re ductions in the conservation reserve program. He also sup ported removal of Benson's authority over REA loans. Morse, as a Republican, also opposed 90 per cent of parity price supports in 1948 and 1949 when Sen. Richard B. Russell (D Ga.) was promoting their extension after the war's end. Morse in this period also 'IgtWW LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF BOND SALE Sealed proposals will be received by the undersigned until 8 o'clock p.m., Standard Oregon Time, on the 7th day. of June lililO, and imme diately thereafter will be publicly opened by the District School Monro 01 school tustrict No. ;tl Jackson County.

Eurl M Sillier j County .'mine ChrMer H Wen4t J County Commissioner I R A Tames voted against extending the life of tlie Commodity Credit Corporation in 11)45 and asainst increasing CCC's bor rowing authority in 1950. Morse opposed one, of Rus sell's moves in 1948 for ex tending soil conservation two years. In 1953 he supported increased funds for soil con servation when Kennedy op posed them. Since becoming a Democrat, Morse has favor ed high rigid price supports and opposed Benson's flexible supports. Labor - As labor commit tee members, Kennedy and Morse have more often agreed than disagreed on major is sues, starting with the Taft- Hartley Act which they both opposed. They are co-sponsor ing an increase in the mini mum wage to $1.25. They op posed use of a presidential injunction in the 1952 steel strike. They have favored ex tending unemployment com pensation and broader cover age. They were allied in seeking a labor reform bill in recent years, following the McClel lan Committee's disclosures of racketeering and misuse of union funds. But they had a sharp disagreement over some provisions of the final bill which emerged last year from a House-Senate conference on which both senators sat. Morse voted against the bill on these grounds, while Ken nedy defended the final ver sion as the best bill that could be obtained under the circum stances. Resource Develop mini -Both senators favored the fed eral Hells Canyon Dam and the St. Lawrence Seaway bills. Kennedy opposed the Upper Colorado power and reclamation project, as Morse pointed out. Kennedy also op posed and Morse supported a federal program for atomic power plants, with a prefer ence to public power agencies. Both senators favored the TVA self - financing revenue Dona dui. In recent years, both have supported larger appropria tions for flood control and navigation works. In earlier years, Kennedy periodically opposed such projects or voted for reductions in fu.ds for them. Morse in 1952, as a Republican, voted three times to trim funds for the Army Engineer's flood control pro gram - the same program he recently accused Kennedy of falling to support. Taxes Morse has charged Kennedy with opposing an in crease in personal exemptions while favoring tax advantages for business. CQ reports that during debate on the major 1954 tax bill, Kennedy and Morse both voted for a move which failed by three votes to raise the personal exemp tion from $600 to $700. They voted to delete provisions granting stock dividend ex clusions and tax credit. Kennedy voted against Morse's amendment to kill a fast amortization provision which favored business, but so did Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.) the most liberal economist in the Senate. Douglas offered an amendment to permit farmers to amortize equip ment investment in one year. Morse favored it, and Ken nedy opposed it. Morse op posed and Kennedy supported the bill as it passed the Sen ate, but both opposed the final compromise that went to the president. Both men favored reducing the oil depletion allowance. Kennedy favored and Morse opposed increasing the gaso line tax to help finance high ways. On the tariff Issi e, both have voted for extension of the reciprocal trade act, but they have both opposed elimi nating protectionist features such as the peril point clause. Miscellaneous - Both favor ed increasing social security benefits, broadening the cov erage and reducing tlie age of eligibility for women to 62. Both opposed efforts to ex empt gas producers from fed eral rate regulation. Both opposed turning tide lands areas over to the states. Ken nedy opposed Morse's pro posal for giving all World War 1 veterans a $90 per month pension, as did a heavy ma jority of the Senate. Vote for ( JAMES 0. " BURNS CONDOM !

C aJ . $ .' , Castro Expected To Stay In Power For Several Years Madison, Wis. - (LTD - Wil liam McCall Jr., vice presi dent and general manager for Latin America of United Press International, has predicted that Cuban Premier Fidel Castro would remain in pow er for several more years. McCall told newsmen at tending the United Press In ternational Wisconsin cditurj meeting that an increasing number of former Castro sup porters have fled to Latin America and the United States because of the increas ed influence of Communism in Cuba. McCall said, however, that he felt it would take several years for the Cuban people to become disillusioned with Castro. He said Castro was still a very popular leader. Can Spot Threats McCall, honored for dis tinguished service in journal ism at the University of Wis consin's 1960 Journalism In stitutes, said most South American newspaper editors could spot threats to liberty with an acuteness developed only from painful experience. "That probably helps ex plain why newspapers which applauded the downfall of Batista in Cuba have changed their early enthusiasm for Fidel Castro to skepticism and criticism, McCall said. He said most Latin Ameri can journalists feared tlie Uni ted States would be badgered into action which could be interpreted as direct Interven tion into Cuban internal af fairs.

MORRISON, AtwtMMmr ! u o - united, it Is in opposition to international Interven t i o n," McCall said. He said that Latin Ameri can newspapermen have been reassured by the patience of the United States, and felt freer to be critical towards Castro. Freedom of Press McCall said there was com plete freedom of the press under the Frondizi govern ment in Argentina. He said this was a major change from the Peron government, which packed courts and wooed newsmen by giving them shorter hours, higher wages and tying their welfare com pletely to the government. He said the best educated guess was that Peron would not return to power in Argen tina, despite the strength of Peronistas. "When he fled from the Dominican Republic to Spain, Peron lost a valuable political asset. He no longer was in the Americas. In Spain he could expect stricter control of his political agitation. But more important, he seemed to his followers to have gone lo another far, far away world," McCall said. Only Unfriendly Act He said many Peronistas still were strong in labor and Communist circles, and had important positions in the pro vincial and federal govern ments. McCall said that President Eisenhower's trip "was really a personal triumph ... his whole T,atin American tour IF YOU want less taxes on your home IF YOU want less Bureaucratic Government IF YOU want more States Rights IF YOU want less Government Controls IF YOU want bigger people and smaller Govern ment Then we urge you to VOTE for LESLIE P. FLEMING For CONGRESS as your representative from the Fourth Congressional District of Oregon. LESLIE P. FLEMING for Congress , Comm., J. Verne Shangle, chairman, QUITTING Everything Goes at Auction Including the Fixtures could b conaiderW ucco ful." The only unfriendly act in Argentina was the explosion of five bombs in buildings owned by American firms. 'There's nothing like a presidential trip to test the metal of a press association," McCall said. "The Eisenhower trip created an unprecedented lot of problems for those of us in UPI who had to arrange instant and voluminous cover age in remote spots where normally a jungle torn - torn system or smoke signals will beat telephone and telegraphs. "We flew in teams of engi neers, reporters, photograph ers and translators. They sent radiofotos from places where our opposition said it was im possible. They linked teletype systems over international redtape which had prevented it before. They got us radio telephone ears where none existed before," McCall said. McCall said United Press International had 230 men around Latin America who daily were keeping the world and the Americas informed. He said UPI started sending its dispatches to Latin Ameri can newspapers during World War I. "Today - 43 years later -UPI is the leading s'ipplier of news to and from Latin Amer ica," McCall said. He said more than 600 newspapers, radio stations and television stations relied on UPI for their news - three times the number served by any other U.S. news service. 10.000 Words Daily "To do this job we maintain 18 bureaus in Latin America, twice as many as does the next North American news agency. We file daily about 10,000 words from Latin America about what Is hap pening," McCall said. "Therefore it is perplexing when we hear complaints of take home pay 6 W. Sixth St., Medford, Ore.

Latin Americans - such as those voiced during the Eisen hower trip - that too little news is published in the Uni ted States about Latin Amer ica .. . and that the area is noticed only when there is a revolution or a disaster." McCall said that since Latin American news must compete with other news for space, UPI needed the guidance and requests of editors for specific stories to make the UPI re porting from Latin America as much in demand up here as it was down there. "Tlie more imformation the peoples of the Americas have about each other the better hemispheric relations will be come. To get that knowledge honestly and fairly presented to them is one of the great challenges to all of us," Mc Call said. VOTE FOR E. H.
