Morse Accused of
Blackmail Threats
On Education Bills
. By YVONNE FRANKLIN
Washington Bureau
..WASHINGTON - Sen. Wayne
Morse has been accused ol try-
ing to "blackmail" members of
the House in the running dis
pute between House and Senate
over ' several stalled education
bills.
Rep. Charles Goodell, (R
N.Y.), charged that Morse has
blocked the House-passed high
er education bill from being
cleared by the Senate and
signed into law by President
Johnson.
He said Morse is preventing
approval of the college aid bill
as a device for. trying to force
the House to agree with a South
ern point of view on the pend
ing vocational educational bill
"Wayne Morse said he wasn't
going to bring it (the higher
education bill) up blackmail
is what it is," exclaimed Con
gressman Goodell, a leading
GOP member of the House-Sen
ate conference committee which
has been struggling with educa
tion measures.

Boston Terrier May Be
Only Truly American Dog
It has been a long and tedious
process from the early and ob
scure beginning down through
many thousands of years, in the
evolution of the dog.
It is not an absolute certainty,
but probably its origin was
closely associated with the wolf,
fox and jackal. Emphatically
denying this theory however,
are several species of canines
that cast more than a little
doubt on this supposition; like
the Boston terrier. It bears not
the faintest resemblance in
structure, temperament, or in
herited instincts to those wild
strains.
Of all the breeds of dogs (and
there are a great many) prob
ably the only truly American
breed is the Boston terrier, a
cross between the English bull
dog and the white English ter
rier. This exceedingly lively
little member of the canine
family is the satisfactory result
of inbreeding, and careful cross
breeding, a process carried out
in the city of Boston. It is un
doubtedly the only dog breed
named after an American city.
He's New
When dog breeders finally ar
rived at a reasonable approxi
mation of today's trim and
graceful terrier, they gave it the
descriptive name of "Round
head." Later the complimentary
city name was adopted. And all
this is comparatively recent, as
time is measured, for three
quarters of a century ago there
just wasn't any breed of dog
iho ki n! wnicn we see su
r-....,. tl tnrtnu anH know af
iicuciiiijr J
fectionately as the Boston ter
rier. The Boston's popularity in
America was nearly equaled by
its ready and eager acceptance
i Cnnlml and in all nf F.uroDe.
Wherever the little Roundhead
was introduced it was accepted
as a friend; equally at home on,
a farm, an estate, or even in a
city apartment. i
And always preceding this
little dog was the true and brief
corir,tinn nf its ocrsonality
and character, in the one short
sentence: "The Boston terrier,
very gentle and very intelli
gent." Along with the poodle, the
t).lnn tnrrior UTtlllH rflthcr be
indoors, with its family, than
outdoors. If any dog could be
rightly considered a lap dog in
the broadest sense of the word,
then that one is most certainly ;
this lively, very active little
black and white or brindle and
white terrier. i
Gentle. Graceful
But few members of the
canine family possess the gentle
disposition, smart appearance, 1
easy and graceful carriage of
this aristocrat of dogdom. A
pure bred Boston has the black
est black, marked with the;
whitest white. The short, stocky
body is compact and well pro
portioned. Its even mouth has
but few wrinkles in spite of the
recessed nose. The short, thin
cars are carried proudly erect,
the tail can hardly be wagscd,
there isn't enough of it. The
head is round; the eyes are
spaced wide apart, and are very
large, soft and extremely lus
trous. Added to all these attributes,
this little Roundhead is friendly,
gentle, affectionate and highly
intelligent; little wonder the'
Boston has become affectionate-1
ly called, "the American Gentle-
man."
Anyone at all, whether he be
a psychologist, psychiatrist, vet
erinarian, or student of animal
behavior, who claims g dog Is
not gifted with actual intelli
gence, has never owned a Bos
The conferees met again Fri
day but were unable to agree on
their differences. Rep. Edith
Green is a key House conferee.
Morse later threatened in a
Senate speech to withhold edu
cation bills until they could be
brought to "the precincts of
America for the public s deci
sion. Morse said he thought the
bills could be held over until
next session of Congress un
less the House came to terms
with the Senate on the voca
tional education bill.
Both Houses Agree
Goodell said he sees no rea
son why the President should
not be given the higher educa
tion bill since both Houses have
agreed upon it. But Morse said
in his Senate speech that the
odds were against getting any
vocational education bill at all
and this in effect means no
higher education bill.
"It has reached the stage
where reason is being met with
a straight power play," con
tended Goodell, "we can't talk
with them; they aren't discuss
ing the merits; and now the
House conferees are infuriated."
The new vocational education
bill is a major innovation in
providing training to help
youngsters train for the space
age jobs and would increase
the money the federal govern
ment has heretofore spent on
vocational education.
The m a ) o r differences be
tween the House members and
the Senators thus far is over
the allocation of money. Tradi
tionally, on all education bills,
the formula has been worked
out so that the South receives
the lion's share of the money
because it has the lowest per
capita income.
Cities in Greatest Need
Congresswoman Green and
other House members contend
that the cities are presently
the areas of greatest need; that
migration out of the rural South
has placed a great burden on
the cities and has strained their
educational systems.
What galls Goodell and the
other House members is that
while they are willing to give
the poor Mates extra money,
the money is not being spent in
the South for Negro education
the area of greatest need and
since Negro migrants are swell
ing the school enrollments of
the North and West, they should
get as much money as the
South, which Is losing popula
tion and Congressmen.
The House conferees offered
a compromise 50 per cent of
the House formula and 50 per
cent of the Senate that is, if
a State got $20,000 under the
Senate version and $10,000 un
der the House it would get $15,
0O0. The Senators refused to go
along.
Goodell said the Senators
countered with a compromise
which was 95 per cent the old
Senate formula and which gave
the southern States more money
than they got under the original
Senate version. This, he said,
infuriated the House members.
