Detroit dam has been followed carefully in each and

a few miles from Mill City. Now the dramatic moment
approaches when Detroit (lam will start producing power.
The great event will be marked down in history by special
dedication ceremonies.

Editorial Comments
SENATOR MORSE AND THE G.O.P.
Editorial from The Daily Home News, New Brunswick, N.J.
Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon is in bad repute with
the national Republican leadership, he having jumped off
the Eisenhower bandwagon in the middle of all the cam
paign excitement last year.
He returned to the Senate as an Independent, and
found himself stripped of committee seniority earned by
his eight years service as a Republican. Calling himself
an Independent now, he demanded his committee positions
and suggested that committee size be increased to give
the Republican majority an extra man, since he no longer
is a Republican. He got no action.
The wisdom of the Republican choice to demote Sen
ator Morse is now open to some question. Senator Morse
has been a thorn in the G.O.P.’s side ever since he lost
his seniority. One day, he objected to omitting reading
of the previous day’s journal (a routine procedure in the
Senate and many other legislative bodies) and the clerk
had to read the journal. Now during the tidelands de
bates he is enforcing a rule that Senate committees shall
not meet while the Senate is meeting. It requires unani
mous consent, which has almost always been given, for
these committees to meet while the Senate is meeting.
Senator Morse is objecting. One day when he went out
to lunch, his colleagues gave a lot of these unanimous
consents in his absence, despite the fact that senatorial
courtesy usually requires a quorum call to notify a senator
that something is coming up on which he usually acts.
We do not know where this will end. Senator Morse
is not a crank. He has some mighty fine progressive
ideas. And while his obstructionism may waste a good
deal of time, he often cites sound truths which the other
senators should heed. On Tuesday he told the Senate,
“I say . . . that is a bad practice for the senate, supposedly
carrying on the parliamentary business of the people of
the United States, to be meeting in assembly with a half
dozen, eight or 10 senators on the floor of the Senate, sup
posedly participating in debate, which, if we are free
men, ought to make possible a change in the votes to be
cast.’’
We think Senator Morse is 100 per cent sound on that.
Senate debates should not take place in an almost empty
hall. Wo have seen many Americans who visited Wash
ington return sadly disillusioned after watching the Sen

Says:
In the course of his battle with the G.O.P. (which he
will very likely win), Senator Morse may improve Senate
operation immensely.
As the lone Independent in the Senate. Senator Morse
is in a curious position. He can accomplish little in the
way of legislation. or in committee work, because he stands
alone. This has a balancing advantage in that he thus
owes nothing to anybody and can speak his mind freely.
His very real independence thus gives him the opportu
nity to turn the pitiless light of publicity on Senate fail
ings which a regular affiliated party man often is under
pressure to overlook. Senator Morse can. if he so decides,
make himself a real watch-dog over his colleagues.

Naturally, Secretary Weeks meant

did lay himself wide open to the wrath

touchy indeed about scientific integ
