urn V"' 11 Y'-V- 'Si THURSDAY. SJiPTEMBEK 1. lHKI MEOFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEOFORD, OREGON ode flslcmd Senator AAoved Quito Role of Leadership By JOHN A. GOLDSMITH United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) - John Orlando Pastore is the Senate's smallest Senator from the na tion's smallest state. His story reads like the American dream. Modern mythology alle g e s that the Senate is run by men of towering seniority, generally from the South. Twenty seven Senators have more seniority than the immigrant tailor's son who is the senior Senator from Rhode Island. In recent weeks, howcv ever Democrat Pastore has been riding herd on three of Presi dent Kennedy's priority bills. No one else has had quite the same role in handling rail strike legislation, the nuclear test ban treaty and the public accommo dations civil rights bill. True, it was something of an accident illness of Com merce Committee Chair man Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) that gave Pastore a central role in consideration of the measures. But such accidents have been the making of many a congressional leader. In Pastore's case, presiding at daytime civil rights hearings and night rail hearings was pub lic notification of the fact that he had arrived as a Sen a t e "leader." Actually, as chairman of the Senate - House Atomic Energy committee and a mem ber of the Senate Democratic Policy committee, he already had moved into a leadership position in Senate councils. In a broader sense, of course, he also had attained a position of political leadership. when he was elected to the Senate in 1950, having served as Lieuten ant Governor and then as Gov ernor of his state. Born in Providence, R.I., in 1907, Pastors ran errands for his father's tailor snop until the father died. Young Pastore was then 8 years old. His mother went back to work as a seam stress to support the boy and his three brothers and two sis ters. Pastore worked after school at a jewelry factory and grad uated in 1925 from Classical High school. College was out of the question, although Brown university was c o n v e n iently close. Instead, Pastore clerked for an electric power company and enrolled in night classes at the local branch of Northeast ern university. He won a bach elor of laws degree in 1931 and was admitted to law practice in 1932. Starting in Providence's sev enth ward, he moved into poli tics. In 1935 he was elected to the stale's general assembly. In 1937 he became an assistant state's attorney general.

This could just as well have been a mob but it is a dis ciplined group of people. And they are going home." The hour was 10 o'clock Won day night. The place was the Sixth Avenue Baptist church in Birmingham, Ala., and the speaker was a wiry integration leader by the name of the Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth. The meeting had started al most four hours earlier with the hymns and prayers of the first few Negroes who came into an auditorium that would be filled with hundreds before the night was over. For days and nights, violence had stalked the city of Birming- ra r-M .1 I ii rum ana Feature: JEAN SEBERG sv; s .7 -it ' 1 1 i,.vk.':.::tM ham rocks, gunfire and bombs. Much of it had been the work of Negroes. The purpose of the mass meeting on Sixth avenue was to cleanse the congregation of any desire to retaliate with disorder. Turned Tn Prayer As Negro volunteer guards roamed through the hig church, periodically checking all rooms for explosives that might have been planted, the leaders turned the people to fervent prayer and ardent song. The meeting returned to Hie city the persuasive voice of the nonviolent movement headed by ur. Martin Luther King Jr. There were hopes that it would impact and calm a segment of the Negro population that has repeatedly harassed police and white pedestrians and motor ists.

William Smith MAIL TRIBUNE LOS Church Official Dies in Orlando, Ffa. came lieutenant governor in 1944, then was governor from 1945 until 1950. Successful Governor During his tenure as governor the state adopted a fair employ ment practices law and Pastore pushed through an aid program for teachers' salaries and a sales tax needed to finance it. The sales tax, often a governor's return trip ticket to private life, did not curb Pastore's increas ing margins at the polls. It was something of a triumph too, albeit one of another kins, when shortly after his election to the U.S. Senate he was made a member of the corporation a trustee of Brown university. Pastore's Senate voting rec ord places him with Democratic liberals on such issues as social welfare and civil rights. He has, however, split with the liberal group on such issues as the communications satellite bill for which, as chairman of the Senate's Communications sub committee, he was floor man ager. In one of the Senate's most bitter personality disputes of re cent years, he voted for the nomination of his friend, Lewis L. Strauss, to be secretary of commerce and against h i s Atomic Energy committee col league, Sen. Clinton P. Ander son (D-N.M.), who was leading the fight against Strauss. He did not believe, with Anderson, that Strauss had been evasive and misleading in his dealings with I the committee. Strong Voice Pastore has a broad and ready smile, and his bearing shows a bit of cockiness. From his small frame, however, there emanates a strong, piercing voice which is lifted not infre quently in Senate debate. Pastore was, in fact, one of the few Senators to tangle per iodically in floor debate with the late Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D Okla.), and emerge with argu ments unblunted and spirit un chastened. Sen. Richard B. Rus sell ( D-Ga. ), one of the Senate's ! top orators and legal expert, has on occasion said he would like to have Pastore as his law-1 ycr if he was in trouble. In the best tradition, how ever, neither the talented tongue nor the cocky bearing have any dampening effect on Pastore's sunny disposition in which Pastore is not always a matter of great seriousness to Pastore. Recently he was discussing the effects of nuclear fallout with newsmen. He did not, he made it quite clear, go along with the idea that changes or mutations caused by fallout might prove beneficial rather than harmful. "Mutations!" he said explo sively, "perhaps they'll make Pastore six feet tall!"
