ed the 32th annual Roosevelt
Memorial dinner at McLough
lin Junior High school in Med
ford Saturday night.
"These ace: for the good of
the country, for the good of
the state of Oregon, and for
the good of the United States
Senate," the senator fold the
people, both Democrats and
Republicans, who filled the
large auditorium.
McCarthy indicated he was
returning the favor which
Morse had extended to him
by campaigning for his- (Mc
Carthy's) election In Minne
sota.
Best of Tiada
"The Democratic party got
the best of the trade when
Senator Morse switched to
the Democratic party," the
Minnesota senator said. "How
ever, there were a few die
hards in the party who in
sisted the party got only what
it deserved!
Senator McCarthy pointed
out Morse's accomplishments
for Oregon such as the Talent
irrigation project and promo
tion of the Rogue basin prol
ific!.
Hit critics claim the sen
ator has not done for Oregon
everything which he should
hay done. It Mace had done
everything which needs to be
; done well, under those con
ditions he might as well have
been a Republican! McCar
thy quipped.
"He (Morse) has' continued
to fight to preserve the great
wilderness areas in our coun
try when no state has had
such bitter opposition to if
than his own stale of Oregon,"
McCarthy pointed out.
Dynamic Conservatism
' Swinging Into an attack on
the Republican party. Sena

ned. (
Before introducing Senator ;
McCarthy, Morse said, "I have !
had a wonderful day In Med- j
ford. 1 haven't met so many j
Republicans in a Jong, long
time!"
The Medford Chamber of
Commerce legislative commit
tee Saturday aliernoon was
particularly concerned over
the "passing into the execu
tive branch of too much Con
gressional power without
checks." Both he and McCar
thy have fought to preserve
those checks, Morse asserted.
Morse said he supported Mc
Carthy on his legislative
watchdog committee proposal
for the Centra! Intelligence
