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."

Under questioning by Senator
Murray, three members of the'
tribal executive committee Elna-
than Davis, Boyd ; Jackson and
.Jesse Kirk revealed, that there
rhad never been a referendum
taken among all members of the
tribe on the question of termina
tion. 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.
