In fact, it I For comment on other por use in your paper is so colored might surprise you to know that lions of Sen. Morse's letter, see President Kennedy, betore His , me eoiionai column. Slate of Oregon newspaper ed itors and correspondents think they are performing by their stories that are so obviously de signed to try to create personal conflicts within the Oregon dele gation. With best wishes for a Happy Holiday Season, Sincerely yours, Wayne Morse, U.S.S. Washington, D.C. o Editor's note: Nowhere in the editorial was there any hint or implication of dissenlion within the present Oregon delegation, other than as to opposing posi- by personal animus against me that you ought to check the ma terial for accuracy before you use it." I am enclosing a tear sheet from the Congressional Record setting forth some newspaper comments from the Oregon coast that do not share your views opposing my amendment against condemnation. I am also enclosing a tear sheet containing the speech I assassination, and President Johnson, just lhe oiher day, commended me for the contri bution which they felt my op position to the bill this year will make to the future foreign aid policies of our Government. Today, I received a copy of your editorial enclosed in a let ter from a mutual friend of ours in Medford. The letter states in part, "I am attaching made a few days ago in the editorial which appeared in Tuesday s Mail Tribune, toa possibly have already seen it. "In any event, I think that the reaction to your stand on the Foreign Aid Bill and the Dunes Bill is just about 100 per cent the opposite from the conclu sions reached in the aforcmen- Senate explaining why I shall oppose a Dunes bill unless it has a provision in it that pro tects private property owners from condemnation.

The issue of justice . wen as citizens generally." involved is just the same wheth- , ,., mv voIuminous maii a IhxPA n-i It; nennarttnc nl ! . . 1500. The application of princi ples of justice in our country docs not happen to be dependent upon the number of people that are being denied justice if a sound principle isn't applied. I am also enclosing a copy of a statement that I filed with the Senate Interior Committee on the Dunes Park issue. Neither vou nor any other supporter of an Oregon Dunes for many weeks has been run ning better than 95 per cent in support of my position on the foreign aid bill, both from Ore gon and the rest of the country. The personal jibes contained in your editorial are so offen sive to your own intellect that they are unworthy of comment. I have no intention of aiding and abetting those who are seeking to create a personal iVaiinnal Soashnre hill can iust. : conflict between Senator Neu. ifv blaming me for attempting berger and me or between Edith to amend the bill reported by Green and me or between me the Senate Committee which was even stronger than Senator Neuberger's bill on the matter of condemnation. Anytime Sen ator Neuberger and Congress man Duncan would agree to recommend the establishment of an Oregon Dunes National Seashore Park without a con demnation provision in the bill, I am sure such a bill would pass quickly. All the benefits would accrue to Oregon under such a bill as would accrue to it if a and any other member of the Oregon delegation. 1 shall al ways defend myself and my record if any misrepresenta tions about my service in the Senate to the State of Oregon are made that in my judgment, should be dignified by a reply. I have noted in recent months an increasing number of false stories in the Oregon press de signed to leave the impression that harmonious relations do not exist among the Democrats condemnation section were left , within the Oregon delegation in the bill. Contrary to your : and particularly with respect to charge, my urging the adoption relationships between me and of an amendment that prohibits : Senator Neuberger and between condemnation is no pretext onjme and Congresswoman Green my part. I yield neither to you ! and between me and Congress nor to Senator Neuberger nor 1 man Duncan. It is all a lot of to Congressman Duncan nor nonsense. Our voting records anvone else in mv support of : show that we do not always Are Yon Really Glad? To the Editor: Are you really glad it's Christ mas, Or do you think "oh my"? Does the thought of all that shopping Just make you want to cry? And then there's all that wrap ping, Cooking, cleaning, and such. Plus decorating the silver tip, It really is too much! The kids will all be out of school, Which really isn't fair. You have so many things to do, And they sure get in your hair. You must take the kids to see Santa, And address a hundred cards. Then you'll go out caroling In all the neighbors' yards. You must remember the milk man, Preacher, teacher, and Doc. You spend so much it's fright ening. Let's see "What can I hock?" Remember to fill the stockings And to set up junior's bike. "Hey Where's the wheels for this wagon" And "Did you pick up the trike?" At last you fall into your bed And wonder if everything's done. The kids will give Santa the credit For all their Christmas fun. At the crack of dawn the day begins With whoops and hollers of glee. The kids are up and at it. They're admiring the tree. You know in your heart it was worth it, You're glad that it pleases them all, Oh, sure it was a lot of work. But now you feel 1(1 feet (all. Yes, I am really glad it's Christ mas, Now that it's finally here. Arid once I have recovered, I'll look forward to it next year. Mrs. E. C. "Pat" Chesebro ' 1115 Oak St. Ashland, Ore. SLSOAY, DECEMBER 21, IS8J Ont of This World To the Editor: It is a pity that the spirit which prevails around Christmas time does not last tor a longer period. I cannot help wondering who wrote the words to the songs that the angels sing, and who composed the music that pours from their trumpets. It might be correct to say, though, that they are "out of this world." Merry Christmas, everybody. David Frisch P. O. Box 2292 White City, Ore. Social Security Benefits To the Editor: The reason I am writing is to try to clear up the misunderstanding that the manager of the Medford office of the Social Security adminis tration causes by putting out false information in the news paper. The Medford Mail Trib une has been printing the arti cles. This false information caused me to spend a consider able amount of money trying to get Social Security benefits that don't exist First, a person being unem ployable and not able to hold any kind of employment be cause of an incurable disease, does not qualify a person for social Security benefits. You can be compictly unem ployable and not able to do any kind of work and still not be entitled to Social Security. My husband has been ruled permanently and "totally dis abled by two different Govern ment Agencies. Jacobson also made the state ment that the Social Security would start payment after seven months. It took 30 months to process my husband's claim. He asked for a hearing. The Social Security administration ruled without any hearing being held. The Social Security adminis tration should put out a booklet explaining what illnesses they pay for. My generation can read and write. We don't believe in superstitition, fear, and ignor ance and hate that bring on the discrimination that has been practiced by the Social Security administration. For one in stance, if a man has no educa tion he can file for Social Se curity and start drawing pay ments, where a man with an ed ucation cannot get benefits at all, even though they have the same illness. The Social Security adminis tration has also discriminated against people under 50 years old. Their age is used against them in paying benefits. We bae the need just the same as more as the worker over so. Most of the men like my hus band have a family. I would advise anyone to keep what tasuraaca policie they have because if you get totally disabled, your chances of gett ing benefits from Social Securi ty are pretty slim. The Social Security adminis tration has people boondoggling filling out for claims when there is no chance for payment what soever. Unknown quanities of money are spent orocessina claims that the person who takes the application knows won't be paid. Also I want to sav mv hus band qualified in every way as far as having enough money paid in. One employe went far enough to ask the family doctor how long he would live. The doctor said he didn't have anything to do with it that, it was up to God Almighty. The disease he has is incurable. (Name on file) Hornbrook, Calif. three that approach Divinity.

Wisdom or Power To the Editor: The "brother hood of man" which Mr. Crews desires can only be established by force. The church established on the day of Pentacost, which depends upon man's voluntary surrender to God of ms own free will, can be the only successful "brotherhood. Entry require ments are set forth in the Book of Acts and its success told by the Book ol Keveiation, Mr, Crews feels I have given him the Red smear. His liberal aims and the Communist goals coincide, only their methods ami his good intentions set the at tainment of this goal apart. We all know what road is paved with good intentions. The peace he longs Jor will not come from man but only from God. It will not be earthly but spiritual and will come only to those found acceptable at the judgment. No, Mr. Crews, I pre fer not to place my faith in the wisdom of men but in the power of God, James K. Shaer Route 2, Box 210X Medford. The World Is Love To the Editor: The King of the whole world is LOVE. None other shall ever reign suprei..e, for GOD is LOVE. Nothing is more powerful in all the world. We have barely begun to use its force. It is only through LOVE that we can hive eternal peace and happiness. It is .nly by LOVE that all evils can be overcome. Christmas time is the rebirth of LOVE. Thus all the world should rejoice regardless of race or creed. It is a time to let LOVE express itself in giving, doing, helping. It is a time to expand LOVE to encompass all peoples and creatures of the earth and wonders of nature and science. True LOVE 1 bounded by Truth and Righteousness. The Killer Booze To the Editor: As the holiday season approaches, how many people will realize that gas and alcohol will not mix? No doubt some will learn lh hard way. In the Family Weekly (MT Dec. 15, 1963) the article "I Destroyed Christmas" by Bruce Cline (who is now serving time in the state prison) should jolt awake those who say "A beer or two doesn't hurt anyone." I disagree. Your vision is not clear and it im pairs your efficiency. The ads say "Beer is a stimu lant." The truth is, its a depres sant. As for nourishment, it would be necesary to drink 75 gallons of beer to equal that of one loaf of bread. It was said that "If legalized liquor came back it would kill the automobile industry." But legalized liquor is helping the automobiles to tail the human race. The wets said prohibition was a bad thing. The Churches and Salvation Army said it was a benefit. The wets do not feed the poor. The Churches and Sal vation Army do. You say, "It's nobody's busi ness if I drink." It is indeed the non-drinkers' business in many ways. They belong to the hosts that want to make the world a better place to live. The drinking person tears down that structure we are trying to build. Wheth er you work at a service station, supermarket or other public places, they expert you to be at your best, for they pay for the service you render. On a lonely highway a family of six were wiped out in a head on collision with a drinking driv er. This is repeated in different settings thousands of times over. It is their business if you drink. For every dollar taken in from liquor revenue, we are SBendina four to eight dollars at least, to take care of the problems alto. hoi has created. As taxpayers it is their business if you drink, A nation trying to be a leader in world affairs, to spend billions of dollars for liquor in which to tear down the morals of that nation, as a Christian it is our business if you drink. As we near the Birthday of our Saviour, who gave His. life that we might live, let us not grieve Him by risking the lives of ourselves and others and fill ing the jails because of that kill er BOOZE. Make it a MERRY Chrismas for all.
