Capitol Memo
Tiger in Senate'
Stimulating for
Oregon Politicians
By DOUGLAS GRIPP
Sale m (UPB The most
titillating topic on the lips of
'Oregon politicians today is
the b e h i n d-the-scenes
de
bate on what
effect, if any,
will "The Ti
ger in the
Senate" have
on the re
election bid
this year of
Sen. Wayne
DoujUi Gripp Morse (D-Ore.)
The growing speculation on
this by both Republicans and
Democrats is getting to be
more fun than reading the
Congressional Record.
"Tiger," of course, Is the
already controversial and
much awaited first biography
of Morse by Washington, D.C.
correspondent A. Robert
Smith. It was a hot item even
before Doublcday put it out
last Friday.
And licking his political
paws in a cloakroom near the
Potomac, Oregon's senior sen
ator must be aware by now of
the stir among the political
homcfolk.
Some say the book will

hurt him, and will cost him
votes. Others say it is a juicy
bit of campaign fodder that
will gain him votes.
Morse, 61, doesn't like the
book. He said so on the floor
of the Senate two weeks ago,
labeling it a "character assas
sination." And for that matter
he indicated he doesn't like
Smith anymore either, throw
ing this in from the Senate
floor.
Smith is anti-Morse, accord
ing to Morse. Smith denies
this and says the bonk is ob
jective. Morse and Smith have
known each other for years
but haven't been too close of
late.
Whether the senator knows
it or not, his official de
nouncement of the book gave
it a roaring sendoff. Major
book stores, for example, in
Portland, Salem and Eugene
report initial brisk sales of
about 135. 23 and 12. respec
tively. Officials of all three
stores say sales are not only
good, but picking up daily.
Morse hadn't read the book
before it came out, and after
his blast at least one national
columnist bemoaned the fact
that he. has never been able
to get a senator to denounce
his own first book.
The most noncontrovcrsial
thing about Smith's volume so
far is the title.
For most people, a tiger
produces an image of power,
stark power, a dangerous
creature to be feared. There
isn't a politician in the big
time anywhere who doesn't
appreciate such a notion
about himself.
The review by Morse him
self notwithstanding, the 455
page book is being well re
ceived by the critics. Smith
tells about Morse in smooth,
muscular prose and the jacket
cover has a blurb by Allen
Drury, noted author of "Ad
vise and Consent," who rates
Smith's effort as "splendid."
The bonk explores in detail
the makings of what Smith
describes as "the Morse leg
end," his law professor days
at Eugene, first election to
the Senate in 1944, his bolt
from the GOP in 1952. the
many feuds, and his rise to
prominence as an expert on
Latin America, the UN and
other matters.
Tigers tend to have some
nasty points too. and Smith
unabashedly points these out.
Smith digs deeply into
Morse's family and childhood,
taking it from there. There is
the offbeat as when young
Wayne flunked first year
Latin in high school in Madi
son. Wis.
But if Smith includes
Morse's defeats, he dwells on
tile triumphs too.
One expert who Is now
1 traveling the high road in Orr
i gun politics summed up "The
j Tiger in the Senalr" like this:
I "Detractors of Morse will
feel it is a potent campaign
weapon to use against him.
j His friends will find much in
the book on the credit side.
but they will think forever it
didn't do him justice."

United Press International
New York -IUPH - Folks!
who like to invest in new ci-
entific discoveries are getting 1
justifiably curious about!
something called the Laser I
the newest marvel turned out
by the physicists and the op
tical industry.
It may be some years be- j
fore Lasers are sold in suffi
cient quantities to earn cash
and stock dividends, but their
power and future possibilities
for medicine, defense and in
dustry already have been
demonstrated. A market for
$200 million worth of them
each year, perhaps much
more, by 1970 is a distinct
possibility.
Laser is a coined word
meaning "light amplification
by stimulated emission of ra
diation." The Laser is a varie
ty of mascr. Maser means am
plifying radio or any other
waves by stimulated emission
of radiation.
Two Main Kinds
There are two main kinds
of Laser - solid state, which
generally is a ruby held in
a metal container, and gas
eous, a mixture of helium and
neon in a glass tube. Another
gaseous type recently was
discovered.
All do the same thing. Or
dinary light is what the physi
cists call "spatially incoher
ent." That is, its power is
broken up and largely lost.
It goes in all directions. The
Laser collects the power of
light into waves of tremen
dous energy and harnesses
the waves.
Then they can be focused
and put to practical use. A
Laser made by American Op
tical company at Southbridge,
Mass., was used successfully
recently to burn a tumor off
the retina of a patient's eye
in one thousandth of a sec
ond. This indicates the enor
mous possibilities for Lasers
in surgery.
A Laser made by Raytheon
corporation of Lexington,
Mass., demonstrated at the
convention of Institute of Ra
dio Engineers, burned a hole
through a sheet of stainless
steel in one-two-thousandth of
a second and set fire to car
bon paper 10 feet away.
New Gaseous Laser
Radio Corporation of Amer
ica has announced a new gas
eous Laser that can cut to
one-tenth the amount of pow
er needed to produce strong
beams of infrared light-useful
in many scientific and indus
trial processes.
The new R.C.A. Laser em
ployes a calcium fluoride
crystal containing traces of
the rare earth, dysprosium.
RCA engineers believe this
new type Laser may make it
possible to create powerful
beams of infrared light con
tiuously instead of in tiny
pulses as with solid state Las
ers. The Laser conceivably
could be the defense answer
to the intercontinental ballis
tic missile. Because of its in
tense power and because it
can travel at the speed of
light, it might be harnessed
to vaporize ICBM's in flight.
In other words, it would
mean the achievement of the
ray gun, which science fic
tion writers talked about
years ago. 1
Industrial Purposes
For more prosaic industri
al purposes, Lasers probably
could drill, machine and weld
instantaneously refractory
metcls that now are enor
mously difficult and expen
sive. Hughes Aircraft compa
ny has announced a scries of
them to sell for $2,500 includ
ing power supply. Perkin- El
mer corporation of Norwaly,
Conn., makes a helium-neon
Laser that emits a continuous
beam for $7,500.
The first Maser was made
in 1954 by Charles Townes
at Columbia university while
he was engaged in exploring
principles discovered years
ago by Einstein and Planck.
Since then, Bell Laborato
ries, International Telephone
& Telegraph company, Inter
national Business Machines
corporation, General Electric,
Westinghouse, RCA. Raythe
on, American Optical, Perkin
Elmer, Hughes Aircraft, Vari
an Associates and probably
other companies have done
a great deal of work on Mas
ers and Lasers.
The companies have spent
considerable amounts on their
own, but the U.S. Defense de
partment also has pumped a
lot of money into the research.
Dr. Townes was working on
a Navy project when he made
the first experimental Maser.
RCA's new calcium fluoride
Laser was developed under an
Air Force contract.
