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.

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.
Parade Expected To Be Largest

cil of Jackson County said
Saturday it expected this
year's Veterans Day parade

Chamber of Commerce
President Gerald T. 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. Nevada authori-
ties have completed paving to the line; the closest paving'
' on the Oregon side is some 39 miles away, at Adel. Paul

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.
