'The Tiger in
"Thin chancer assassination book is full of un
truths, half truths, out-of-context distortions and oft
repeated Republican misrepresrniations." (Sen, Wayne
Morse, on the floor of the U.S. Senate )
"The Tig'er in The Senate" is a book written
by A. Robert Smith, Washington correspondent
for five Oregon newspapers, including this one.
It is sub-titled, "A biography of Senator Wayne
Morse."
What has its author tried to do? In Bob
Smith's words:
"In this biography, designed neither to please its
proud principal nor to delight his bitter detractors,
1 have tried to portray Wayne Morse as he is, and to
capture something of the mood and smell of Washing
ton's political jungle."
To this reviewer, he has succeeded admirably.
This is no campaign puff-job aimed at garn
erning the Senator votes in the fall election; nor
is it "character assassination."
It is a carefully documented, meticulously re
searched volume which probes into the Senator's
long and always-controversial public career a
real job of objective reporting; and then draws
some thoughtful conclusions a real job of in
terpretive reporting.
IT IS not, strictly speaking, constructed along

roughly, the Senator's career from childhood on
a Wisconsin fairn, through his university and
political battles in Oregon, to his present role as
influential but maverick Senator, chairman of
two important Senate subcommittees.
It employs what, in the movies, would ' be
called the "flashback technique," where by a par
ticular phase of the Senator's career is described
in some detail, and then the past studied in an
attempt to seek clues as to his later behavior.
Jn less-skilled hands,
confusing, but Smith handles the difficult tech
nique clearly and with a minimum of distractions.
His writing is always
brilliant in evocation of

ster, and recall his own visits to our family living
room), with many of the incidents described in
the book, and with a number of the men who
have figured in the public career of the Senator.
based on this, we would conclude that Smith s
job of research and writing was both careful and
accurate.
Smith's conclusions
eral they agree with those
Senator Wayne Morse has the potentialities of
greatness, that he has in large part tragically dis
sipated them because of a basic flaw in his char
acter arrogance and pride, brooking no opposi
tion or criticism but that he still is a valuable
influence in the Senate, and that, given a bit
more humility, humanity, and ability to cooper-!
ate, he would be one of the all-time great Sen-!
ators.
THERE are a few very minor technical flaws in
the book, including a scattering of irritating!
typographical errors. An index would have been1
a welcome addition.
These flaws do little to detract, however,!
from its impact an impact which will be felt,
particularly during this election year, and bv1
both parties described
release about the book:
"To his passionate admirers. Senator Wayne Morse
Is the noblest lion in Washington's dense political
jungle. To his equally passionate dclraciors, he is a
braying jackass."
Smith's chronicle depicts both lion and jack
ass, giving substance to partisans of both, but
concludes that his nickname among other Sen
ators, "Tiger," most closely fits. Smith writes:
"In the cloakrooms of the Senate he is called
'Tiger.'
"The name is used good-naturedly, but it's not
without descriptive fitness For Wayne Morse i. a
lean, nimble six-fooler with enormous stamina and
fighting power in the recesses of his wiry frame. He
pads softly into the Senale chamber, gazing with
steely aloofness at the other beasts In the Senate jungle
the lumbering elephants, the leaping gazelles, the
preening peacocks, the aged lions. As he takes up a
position of commanding vigilance in the protective tree
of high principle, he sils (licking his tail nervously.
watching, waiting, set to spring on the first hapless
hrast to wander into the broad legislative province in
which Tiger ranks himself supreme."
DUT Smith also rcfords the well-earned ac
collides tn Morse . . . "performine; magnifi
cently" . . . "no one could have handled it with
greater understanding or greater calm apprecia
tion" . . . "legislative statesmanship . . ."
I ' "It Is not the purpose nf this final word (Smith adrio

I him, depending on one's philosophical view and riis
j position toward the senator Our pui pose from stal l to
I finish has been to s. e him as he is And he is contro
versial to the end "
III a final summing' up, Smith discusses the
"new frontier of the spirit and mind' in a world
which is increasingly confused and confusing,
, beset by tensions and uncertainties.
i This frontier is a call to greatness in public
men, he declares, ami concludes:

To the Editor: We would
like to express our apprecia
tion to the many people who
helped our Committee try to
bring the true facts to the peo
ple on the annexation ques
tion in the past election and
make them realize that annex
ation was not the answer to
our problems.
The Anti-Annexation Com
mittee is preparing petitions
which will be circulated in
those areas where a sanitation
problem exists for prescnta-
I tion to the County Court un
dors ORS 451 for assistance in
obtaining sewers in the area.
Those people who voted
"Yes" to put this issue of an
nexation over should realize
by now that we do not differ
as to our problems (which we
all realize are acute), but only
in our means of finding a so-
lution to them. We would ap
preciate very much if they
would unite with us and work
with us to solve our problems
(or they are also their prob
lems and can be solved best
by the effort of all concerned.
These petitions require the
signature of 61 per cent of the
property owners in the affect
ed area, not the whole county,
and will request the County
Court to make a survey of the
area and present a plan for
sewage disposal before a pub
lic hearing as soon as possi
ble. UNITE and WORK with us

By FRANK JENKINS
At Friday's primary clec -
lion, Oregon voters approved
a constitutional amendment
to allow legislators to set
their own salaries. Hitherto
in Oregon, legislative salaries
had been frozen by the con
stitution at S600 a year.
Orphan's lepislatni-s alrpadv
j nave bc(!un to think about
giving themselves a raise.
I Legislative counsel Sam
I ualcy said he has had in-
! quiries from several persons
bill to
crease the salaries. He added,
however, that no specific
amount has been mentioned.
QUESTION:
How much will Oregon's
legislators think they are
worth?
'HERE'S a straw In the
J- wind that offers a hint as
to how much legislators think
their services are worth to the
people who employ them.
Proposition 1 on the ballot
at the general election in
California this fall proposes
to allow legislators to increase
their salaries to S11.250 a
year half Ihe salary paid to
members of the U.S. congress.
On the California ballot at
the same election will be
Proposition 17, which will set
a maximum of S10.000 a year
that the legislators may vote
to themselves. If both should
pass, the one getting the most
voles will prevail. If both
fail, legislative salaries in
California will remain at $500
a month, the present figure.
QUESTION No. 2:
How n. u c h SHOULD
stale legislators be paid?
PELL, there is an honored
rule. Luke (X-7) says:
"The laborer is worthy of his
hire " If California could
nominate and elect legislators
who are GOOD ENOUGH,
wise enough, tough enough,
sound enough, able enough to
manage the economy of the
biggest state in the Union as
ii ought to he managed in order
I to insure to every citizen the
most perfect government, the
I proposed legislative salary of
