while labor leaders pondered
the legality of an unusual
management action.
The 196-member Timber
Operators council Friday rec
ommended to It members
that they put increases into
effect immediately, despite
the fact that the two striking
lumber unions have not ap
proved such raises.
The TOC, with member
companies from northern Cal
ifornia to Alaska, mad the
proposal In an effort to settle'
the drawn out dispute. .
. The management group rec
ommended that firms adopt
26-cent hourly wage increases

workers of America and the

similar wage offer.
Karl F. GIos, executive sec
retary of the TOC, said labor
law permits an employer to

into effect if an impasse ex
ists in negotiations. He said
the talks had reached such
an impasse.

Harvey Nelson, regional
president of the IWA, said
"We'll check the legality of
It." He termed the move one
which would precipitate a
general strike.
The TOC urged Its non-
struck: members to effect the
plan immediately.
A spokesman for the Geor
gia-Pacific Corp., which has
refused to meet the unions
demand for a 3314 cent per
hour wage Increase, said the
firm's position hasn't changed.
Two TOC members have
been struck, Edward Hines
Lumber Co. and Pope and
Talbot, Inc. About 2,300 em

firms.
About 4,900 are out in
struck G-P plants. The strike
and lockout has idled about
29,000 persons.

will be struck at Potlatch
Industries Monday.

Civil Defense
Request Denied
Salem - (UPI) - Oregon's Civ
il Defense agency is gqing to
have to scrape along with only
tnree people.
By a six to three vole Fri
day afternoon the State Emer
gency board turned down a
request for $46,110 to double
the three man staff.
The decision came after two
hours of discussion where
Civil Defense officials argued
that the trimmed agency
couldn't perform the work
which state law sets out for
it to do.
The recent legislature cut
the civil defense staff from
18 members to three.
Voting against giving more
money to the agency were
Sens. Harry Roivin (D-Klam-alh
Falls), E. D. Potts (D
G rants Pass) and Ward Cook
(D-Portlaiiri), House Speaker
Clarence Barton (D-Coquille)
and Reps. Ross Morgan (D
Portland) and Beulah Hand
(D-Milwaukie).
More money was favored
by Senate President Ben Musa
(D-The Dalles) and Reps. Shir
ley Field (R-Portland) and
Stafford Hansell (R-Hermls-ton).
Hansell said that when the
legislature approved the pres
ent Civil Defense budget it
was believed by many law
makers that the federal gov
ernment would match the
.state money to make a six
person staff for the agency.
He said he could support a
six member staff but would
be against seeking any fed
eral matching money to in
crease it further.

Washington Correspondent
Washington - (Special) -Ever
since Sen. Wayne Morse
won re-election handily last
fall, his political behavior has
been quite out of character.
Morse has been behaving as
though he were still running
for re-election - and running
scared at that. The most ap
parent manifestation of this
strange phenomenon Is that
he has been making frequent
week end trips to Oregon for
speaking engagements around
the state.
It is not unusual for Morse
to leave Washington for
speaking dates around the
country, for he supplements
his senatorial salary hand
somely by speaking for a fee
which he says averages $500
per talk.
But it is unusual for the
Oregon senator to devote
much speaking attention to
groups in Oregon in the pe
riod immediately after he has
been returned to Washington
for another six-year term. And
yet this is what has been hap
pening.
Can't Charge Fee
This is unusual because It
is expensive to fly back and
forth across the continent on
frequent occasions to address
organizations and public for
ums in his home state where
he can't charge a fee or ex
pect to have his expenses paid.
This sort of cost is normally
incurred only in an election
year under the whiplash of
political anxiety.
Had Wayne Morse been re
elected by a narrow margin,
this behavior would be read
ily understandable. But he de
feated his GOP opponent, Sig
Unandcr, by a comfortable
margin of over 50,000 votes.
Obviously he is still the fa
vorite of a majority of Ore
gon voters.
What, then, drives the sen
ator to this expensive current
undertaking?
Wayne Morse, as is his cus
tom in the realm of practical
politics, is keeping his own
counsel. But his colleagues
are speculating about the
meaning of it all.
The most plausible theory
is that Morse is planning to
run as a delegate to the Demo
cratic national convention
next May in the Oregon pri
mary, ii ne does that, there
is little doubt he will run
hard in an effort to roll up the
highest number of votes of
any candidate on the ballot
running for delegate.
Could Be Chairman
In addition to the virtue of
winning such a political popu
larity poll, with its political
status value, the prize that
customarily goes to the dele
gate with the highest vote is
chairmanship of the delega
tion to the convention. The
speculation here, then, is that
Wayne Morse wants to head
the Oregon convention dele
gation which will go to Atlan
tic City next summer to re
nominate President Kennedy
for a second term.
Beyond this relatively per
functory task there may lie
a more compelling reason for
Morse's energetic pursuit of
the Oregon voter these days.
If he heads the Oregon dele
gation, he may presume that
he will gain a degree of Influ
ence he has lacked with the
Kennedys and within the
Democratic party.
Ever since President Ken
nedy assumed office, Rep.
Edith Green has unquestion
ably been the most influential
member of the Oregon con
gressional delegation with the
new administration. Her cre
dentials - chairmanship of the
Oregon delegation to the 1960
convention and chairmanship
of Kennedy's Oregon cam
paign - have been honored
by the President and the at
torney general and their top
aides.
This circumstance has been
difficult for Sen. Morse to
accept, despite the fact that
he not only caustically op
posed Kennedy s presidential
nomination but conducted a
furious but futile campaign
for convention d el e g a t e s
pledged to Wayne Morse for

NEW OCEAN CABLE

German and American com

1965. French Post and Tele

president. VSBien'that effort
fell flat, Morse retreated to
the seclusion of his Maryland
farm instead of appearing on
the battlefield at Los Angeles
where Congresswoman Green
and the Oregon delegation
labored to put Kennedy's nom
ination across.
Praise and Criticism
Since 'tmnedy took office,
Morse has alternately praised
hi..i extravagantly and criti
cized features of his legisla
tive program to which he ob
jected, such as the communi
cations satellite last year and
foreign aid this year.
Yet it is possible that in
1964 Wayne Morse will vol
unteer to be Kennedy's Ore
gon campaign chairman. If
Kennedy should then carry
O .on and be re-elected,
Morse would have a boasting
point inasmuch as Oregon fail
ed to give Kennedy a majority
in 1960.
Yet the fruits of gaining spe
cial influence with the Ken
nedy administration aren't no
ticeably bounteous. In the
Washington political commu
nity, prot bly the most sought
after advantage from such a
relationship is the personal
prestige it affords those
known to have a special "in"
with the powers that be. An
other advantage is securing a
decisive voice in patronage
matters, which is important
in intraparty affairs but of
no real significance in terms
of public affairs.
Mrs. Green has had the de
cisive voice for Oregon the
past two and a half years.
But it is beginning to appear
that Sen. Morse will try to
supplant her in this prestige
role in 1964.
An administration official
reports that the senator has
gone to the curious extreme of
planting the notion that Mrs.
Gran won't even seek re
election to Congress next
year, that she is fed up with
Washington.
Such a rumor is most un
convincing with the Kennedy
administration where it is
common knowledge that Mrs.
Green turned down a presi
dential offer of an ambassa
dorship because she prefers
to remain on Capitol Hill. She
plans to run for re-election
to her Portland congressional
seat in 1964 to start a second
decade in the House, where
she has become one of its
more powerful members. Mrs.
Green, incidentally, has been
telling friends she has no in
tention of .running for the
Senate in 1966 if Sen. Mau
rine Neuberger runs for re
election, Relations Good
Surface relations within the
Oregon congressional delega
tion are reasonably good these
days. They meet periodically
for breakfast to discuss state
problems, and they circulate
proposed letters for joint sig
nature on matters of common
interest affecting Oregon.
Both senators also attended
a party at Mrs. Green's Wash
ington apartment not long ago
on the occasion of Howard
Morgan's departure for Ore
gon. These relations probably
haven't been as peaceful and
calm in eight years.
But Wayne Morse's Jour
neys to Oregon this year are
being taken as an omen of
new adventures and possibly
new strains to come.

Who buys more Savings Bonds ?
As statistical-minded aa we are today,
the Treasury Department can't answer
that question.
The Treasury does know that U. S.
Savings Bonds are owned by tens of
millions of families. So it might be safe
to assume that people in every walk of
life belong to this "savings club."
This is a happy fact for the United
States, and for the free peoples of the
earth. For Savings Bond dollars are
playing an important role today in the
making of history.
This $46 billion reserve in the govern
ment's hands is working vigorously to
day to help our country in the major
struggle to defend freedom.
At the same time, Savings Bonds help
build your personal purchasing power by
paying good interest and providing a
method of saving that's unconditionally
safe and readily cashable. And the high
er your purchasing power, the better it
speaks for our system.
It all adds up to one of the best ways
you can save money and at the same
time help your country. Start buying
Bonds next payday through the Pay
roll Savings Plan where you work, or
from any bank and see if you doa't feel
pretty good about it.
