OREGON Howard Morgan May By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington -Howard Mor gan has been learning a good deal the past few weeks about advise and consent, the political pow er with which the Founding Fathers have invested the Senate to give the President and his ap pointees the old rougn and smith tumble. Since his nomination two months ago as a member of the Federal Power Com mission, Morgan has been sweating out the only ques tion that stood between him and this high office which regulates the power and gas utility industries: would the Senate give its consent. Morgan is not altogether sure yet, although it appears now that consent will be giv en within the next week or two. What is certain is that he is in store for some Senate advice, one of Washington's most consistently surplus com modities. This former Oregon Demo cratic state chairman found himself In the uncomfortable position of the controversial figure Leffingwell in Allen Drury's novel, "Advise and Consent," when senators were tipped off that Morgan had fibbed about his youthful past. -i Happily for Morgan, the implications of the fib were not so enormous or so subject to sensational usage by his opponents as were those re specting the fictional char acter who was to be secretary of State and was suspected of Communist activities in college. For Morgan had failed to tell only that at age 22 he had been fined $25 and costs after a four-way fist fight which he didn't start; and that once he was mistakenly pick ed up on a stolen tire charge. Under Warning When he went into the Navy during World War II, Morgan filled out a form on which there was this question under a warning against "con cealing either trivial or seri ous offenses": "Have you ever been ar rested or summoned into court as a defendant or indict ed or convicted or fined or imprisoned or placed on pro bation or has any case against you been filed or have you ever been ordered to deposite collateral for alleged breach or violation of any law or New Catalogs Being Distributed Here The new S and H green stamp catalog is being dis tributed in the Medford area for the Sperry and Hutchin son company, according to G. L. Clark, sales representative for this area. The catalog is being dis tributed in this area to cus tomers of businesses which of fer S and H Green stamps, and will be available at those businesses. Copies also will be avail able at S and H redemption center at 221 South Central ave., Medford. Clark said that S and H green stamps are distributed by 90,000 retail stores throughout the nation, and that half of all the families in the United States save them. US.

Omm I M police regulation or ordinance whatsoever? If so list all the cases without any exception whatsoever ..." Morgan was arrested on suspicion of stealing a tire, but was later released when investigation showed that it had been given to him by a former employer as partial payment of back wages. Be fore he was released, how ever, he was fingerprinted, numbered and photographed. 'Comedy of Errors' In 1953, when Morgan was state chairman, copies of this police photo were circulated throughout the state by some unfriendly anonymous person. William M. Tugman, then edi tor of the Eugene Register- Guard, told Morgan about it and asked him for a state ment. Morgan fetched up an affidavit from his old employ er telling about what Mor gan now calls "a comedy of errors." He deliberately failed to mention this tire incident when he entered the Navy, Morgan explained to the Sen ate Commerce Committee, be cause he regarded it as "trivi al and insignificant" and that It would only cause the gov ernment to make a needless investigation, delaying his en try into active duty. I think I can be and prob ably should be reprimanded or admonished for an infrac tion of the rules," Morgan conceeded to the committee. While I cannot defend what did, I do not think the public interest was damaged." In private conversation, the Republican senator who pro voked this questioning, Hugh Scott (R-Pa.), was vehement about going after Morgan for not telling the truth. But in the public hearing, he avoided making any charges. Remain Unanswered Where did this information come from? Who is out to get Morgan? These questions remain unanswered. Suspici ons being voiced privately here include just about every possible adversary - Oregon Republicans, as well as Ore gon Democrats who have felt the lash of" Morgan's sharp tongue in the past; and pos sibly an element of the utility industry. Morgan has his own ideas about it, but publicly he is only saying: I have enemies in both parties of which I am very proud." Sen. Scott, who smokes a pipe and always appears non chalant about his various po litical endeavors, appeared during the hearing to be hope ful of tripping Morgan up with a lazy line of question ing. Instead, Morgan tripped up bcott. A Sound Precedent The Pennsylvania Senator had heard of what he thought was a sound precedent for Senate rejection of the Mor gan nomination. Several years ago a man named Flanagan had .bean nominated by Presi dent Eisenhower for a post of equal standing, Civil Serv ice Commission. Scott under stood Flanagan had been turn ed down by the Senate Civil Service Committee for not telling the truth on a govern ment application about not having a college degree when he did have all the necessary credits. Morgan, too, had heard of this case and was prepared when Scott tossed it Into the the hearing. Morgan pointed out that Flanagan had lacked some 40 credits of securing the degree he claimed and that he had been kicked out We Give S4H Oreen Stamps COLUMBIAN OPTICAL CO.
