L1 Nl' ' ' " f MAJOR COUNTY CONSTRUCTION One of the biggest parts of the Winnemucca route done by Lake county is at Daugherty Rim (also known as Daugherty Slide), about 17 miles this side of the Nevada line. This "high desert" route will be the second- highest state highway in Oregon when corn- Dieted, most of it more than a mile in ele vation, and parts well above 6,000 feet above sea-level. Some widening work re mains to be done on this section. 1 4 if "" GREASER CANYON Another difficult engineering job faced road-builders on the Blizzard Gap-Greaser Canyon section of the Winnemucca road in Lake county. This portion is now graded, and only some wid ening work to the east, and a nine-mile grading job between this point and Adel, across the Warner valley, remains to be completed. Paving still appears to be some years away. Completion of the route will open up a direct east-west route from Salt Lake City and Winnemucca into Lake and Klamath counties, across the Cascades (by way of the new Lake of the Woods road now under construction), and on to the ' northern California coast via Grants Pass, Cave Junction and a new tunnel under Oregon mountal.

Latham told a rouudtable luncheon group last week that the Chamber is reluctant to give all-out support to the Wmne-mucca-to-the-Sea highway be cause it must first concern it self with projects having more importance to Jackson county. Latham returned " Sunday from the "Sea to Winnemuc ca" caravan that traveled from Crescent City to Winne mucca, Nev., during the week end as a promotional stunt lor the proposed cast-west high way route. He had been "kid napped" when he joined the caravan as it stopped in Med ford Friday. Latham said that several times during the trip he was approached by representatives at other areas, notably Lake and Del Norte counties, who expressed disappointment that the Medford Chamber has not gone all out in its sup port of the proposed highway. Noting that the highway would of course be of bene fit to this area and would be more than welcome, Latham cautioned that there are other highway projects having more importance to the Rogue Val ley than the Winnemucca route. Praised Judgment He said that "by getting on somebody's else's bandwagon we could have lost some (highway) appropriation here." He praised the judge ment of the Chamber of Com merce Highway committee and said "if we don't try to over-extend our influence, we can get more done." He pointed out that some counties, especially Humboldt county in Nevada and Lake county is Oregon, have done a lot in trying to make the Winnemucca route a reality. Lake county, he said, has appropriated some $300,000 for grading and developing the route between Lakeview and the border. This is good for a county of that size, he said, and added that they "are to be complimented." Humboldt County Humboldt county has spent more than Slvs million for development of the1 highway north from Winnemucca to the Oregon border, he said. They have expressed some re? sentmcnt that Oregon has not done as much to develop the highway as they have, he added. The caravan traveled by bus to ' Lakeview and then transferred to 22 cars and two trucks to continue the trip. Latham said the distance from Medford to Winnemuc ca, as traveled by the cara van, was 408 miles. The worst part of the trip was in the Warner valley area south of Lakeview. Latham said that in a nine mile stretch that is not graded the dust was thick. He pointed out, however, that the state highway de partment has agreed to grade this nine mile stretch and Lake county hopes the de partment will do more. Biggest Reception During the journey the caravan would have ceremon- les and distribute souvenirs at the various towns it passed along the way. He said Lake- view gave the caravan the biggest reception. One Del Norte representative ap proached him, Latham said, and said Medford's reception was the "poorest on the line, The trip was "interesting," Latham said, "because it por trayed the idea that we need trade routes." Medford is al ready on the main north-south route and "if things progress we can also be on an cast west trade route." The "idea is fine," he said, but there are "other consider ations." He concluded on the note that "trade lines can be developed only as the need arises." Police Seek Clues !n Child Assault Portland - IlirD - Portland detectives Friday sought the asistance of citizens who might be able to provide them with new clues in connection with the criminal assault of a five-year-old girl early last Saturday. Detectives have cleared 22 out of 34 possible suspects in connection with the case. Po lice said the others will be questioned but they do not consider them good suspects. STATE LINE Shown above is the Oregon-Nevada state line on the "Winnemucca-to-the-sea" route.

Lusk Disagreed With Morse on Issues Oftener Than Senator Neuberger Did By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribue Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - Dif ferences between Oregon's two Democratic senators on the fine points of legislative issues became more noticea ble during the past year. Before Sen. Richard u. Neuberger died last March, he and Sen. Wayne Morse had differed on a number of legislative questions, chiefly in foreign policy matters. Neuberger's successor, Sen. Hall S. Lusk, differed even more often with Sen. Morse on the chief controversial issues. Here are the chief issues that confronted the 86th Con gress for 1960 and the posi tions taken by the Oregon senators: Taxes - During considera tion of the annual bill to ex tend for another year the corporate Income and certain excise taxes, ammendments were offered to discontinue the 10 per cent tax on local telephone calls and the 10 per cent transportation tax on passenger fares. Morse voted for both amendments, Lusk opposed them. Both were re jected. Another amendment re pealed the 4 per cent tax credit on divided incomes. Morse supported this amend ment and Lusk opposed It. It was adopted, and is expect ed to result in $1.2 billion ex tra taxes for the government this year. Both senators sup ported an unsuccessful amendment to have income from dividends and interest withheld. On final passage of the omnibus tax bil?., which included an increase in the national debt ceiling from $285 to $293 billion, Morse opposed It and Lusk support ed it. . Welfare - Both Morse and Lusk voted for the Kennedy Anderson plan for adding medical insurance to the so cial security system for all retirees 68 and over, and they opposed the Nixon-endorsed Javits amendment for a plan covering all who were needy regardless of social security (oversee. Both plans failed. They both voted for adoption of the bill which did pass lor extension of added payments to the states for aid to the needy. Wages - Morse favored broader coverage of the min imum wage act and raising the minimum to $1.25. On the Senate floor, Lusk sup ported and Morse opposed an amendment to reduce from 5 million to 280,000 the num ber of new workers to be cov ered bv the act. This was reiected. but the bill was never enacted on any terms due to a standoff between the HnnsR and Senate over Its terms. Congress did increase wag es of government and postal workers this year with a min imum 7V4 per cent boost over ho nresident's veto. Morse voted to override the veto, Lusk to sustain it. Morse op posed efforts to limit the raise to employees earning less than $10,000 or to post al workers only, Lusk back ed both these unsuccessful Whoa - With the president asking for reduction in the 79 per cent wheat price suppori the senate agriculture com mittee reported out a bill to raiso wheat supports to 80 uer cent and cut acreage by 20 per cent. When . a floor move to reduce supports to the bill was modified to fix supports at 75 per cent and passed. Morse voted for it, Lusk against. A different wheat bill was defeated in the House, so no legislation resulted this year. Education - The Senate passed a federal aid for edu cation bill for school con struction which Morse sup ported. It defeated a Morse proposal for providing loans to private schools. Also lost on a tie vote which Vice Pres ident Nixon broke was a pro posal to permit the aid to be used by states for teachers' salaries. Morse supported this proposal. This came up dur ing Neuberger's absence be fore his death. Civil Rights - Both Morse and Lusk voted for the civil rights .bill which makes ob struction of all federal court orders a crime, outlaws all bombing and bomb threats, requires preservation of vot ing records and provides for court registration of Negroes. Morse favored adding author ity for the attorney general to seek injunctions to pro tect any civil rights but this was tabled; and he made a successful motion to table an other proposal providing for court-appointed referees or presidentially appointed en rollment officers to register Negroes after a court has found a pattern or practice of discrimination. Both Morse and Lusk voted against Morse's motion. Both senators opposed a successful move to table, or kill, a proposal for creation of a permanent com mission on equal job oppor tunities. Foreign Policy - Both sen ators supported passage of the foreign aid or mutual se curity money bill. Morse sup ported and Lusk opposed a proviso which passed the Sen ate urging the president to cut off aid to the United Arab Republic until it opened the Suez Canal to Israeli ship ping. Morse supported and Lusk opposed a series of amendments by Sen. Ernest Gruening (D-Alaska) which had they passed, would have reauired the ffovernment to obtain Droiect-bv-Droiect auV thorizations from Congress for public works projects un dertaken overseas. Morse also supported and Lusk opposed a successful amendment by Sen. Allen Ellender (D-La.) to delete authorization for making grants of surplus farm commodities to promote economic development in un derdeveloped areas. Both sup ported giving the president authority . to reduce Cuba's sugar quota. Miscellaneous - Both sup ported a so-called clean elec tions bill raising spending ceilings for federal elections, but the House didn't act on it. Both supported a futile effort to override a presi dential veto of the area re development bill for federal relief to chronically depress ed areas. Morse opposed con firmation of Vice Adm. Ralph E. Wilson of Oregon to the federal maritime board at a time when Democrats were critical of the president for appointing military men to civilian posts. Lusk favored Wilson's confirmation. During the first session of the 86th Congress in 1959, here are the chief issues on which Morse and Neuberger voted: They both voted for Ha waiian statehood and against the confirmation of Adm. Lewis L. Strauss as secretary of Commerce. They both op posed a successful effort at the outset of the session to sidetrack consideratin of a new Senate rule restricting filibusters. On the labor-management reform act, Morse was one of two senators to vote against its final passage. Neu berger voted for it. On three key amendments to the bill, the Oregon senators agreed. They opposed the McClellan "bill of rights" protecting un ion members with criminal penalties for unfair actions against them by the union officials. They opposed an ef fort to turn over to state courts and state labor agen cies those labor di?putes now in "no man's land" because the National Labor Relations board declines to handle them. And they opposed an effort by McClellan to revise the secondary boycott ban in the Taft-Hartley act and to extend it to all unions. A veterans pension act sep- farated Morse and Neuberger when Morse tried to add a monthly pension for all World War I veterans. It was defeated, with Neubeer op posing it. They both support ed an amendment to make more liberal pension provi sion than came from the Sen ate Finance committee. Morse supported a $1.3 bil lion cut in military assist ance funds for foreign coun tries, as well as an increase in funds for U.S. Army com- Dat equipment. Neuberger op posed both proposals, as did the administration. Twice the president vetoed housing bills in. 1959, and both times the Oregon sena tors voted to override the ve toes. But the president was sustained. America's Greatest Binocular Value! $090 6 x 30 . . Complete With Case One of (he most popular binocular for all around use.
