MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEOFORO. 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.

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
