FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1956 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE SEVEN Proctor Challenges Heuberger Although he doesn't consider himself a Lincoln or Douglas, George Proctor, Klamath County Bepublican Central Committee chairman, believes he is qualified to debate political issues with Sen ator Richard L. Neuberger, Demo crat of Oregon. . Proctor was irked Friday by Neuberger's refusal to debate the record Of the EispnhnuAr nHmin. istration with the county chair man. v When apprised of Proctor's of fer to engage in debate. Neubers- er, who was here for a Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Com mittee hearing on the Klamath incuan problem, saidr "If Douglas McKay, Governor Elmo Smith, or Sam Coon want to debate with me on the issues of this campaign, I will be ready at any time. It Mr. Proctor wants to debate let him debate the chair man of the Klamath County Demo cratic Committee." Proctor said he was sorry that the junior senator from Oregon could not concern himself with the issues and problems which vitally affect the people of Klamath County." Proctor added that "Senator Neuberger thus concedes the fact that . Klamath County has had peace, prosperity and progress un der the Eisenhower administration and makes it obvious that the junior senator cannot defend his .charge that he was being smeared." , The GOP county leader also said that Neuberger's refusal to debate indicated that' the senator could not justify his position to the peo ple of Klamath County for having a five-hour Indian hearing at tax payers' expense two weeks before the general election with only two ' out of 1$ members of the senate committee - present. "At : the hearing," Proctor con cluded, " a gag rule was placed upon the Indian spokesman for the Klamath Tribe while 45 minutes was allowed for a statement from Democratic Senator Wayne L. Morse to be read into the record."

J. C. O'Neill, tribal attorney, also testified to this fact. i Chief opposition to delay In res ervation termination was voiced by Wade Crawford, a tribal mem-i ber. He also objected to the pro posal that the Indians be reim bursed for termination expendi tures. Several other Individual members of the tribe supported Crawford. Included among the supporters of the proposal to delay termina tion was the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce. The same view was expressed by Dr. De Witt Safford, representative of the Oregon Council of Churches. Dr. Safford said that successful solution of the Indian problem must be predicated to a great ex tent on settling the human prob lems of the tribesmen. William Berg Jr., administrative assistant to Senator Wayne L. Morse, Democrat of Oregon, read a long statement from the sena tor which also supported t h e termination postponement until Congress can enact amendments of Public Law 587. Before the hearing adjourned, Senator Murray said his primary interest was to protect the Klam ath Indians. Senator Neuberger said as soon as Congress reconvenes he will in troduce legislation to amend Public Law 587. When the session closed, Neu berger and the committee staff left for Medford where another hearing dealing with Rogue River problems will be held Friday. Senator Murray left for his home in Butte, Montana. vcyi-s imp C TV , a - -s - ' -'.til .-....-. ..-.-.v Venison Dinner The public is invited to attend a veuison dinner sponsored by the Klamath Sports men at 7 p.m. October 20 in the groups club room.
