Wayne Morse, D-Ore., charged Sunday that the American press is failing to give the American people objective reporting on major issues. ' "Frequently the American press docs a Pravda job on the American people," he said in a television interview i Metropoli tan Broadcasting "opinion in the Capitol"). "It feeds them what it wants them to read and omits telling them what they ought to know is in the news." Morse issued his criticism when asked about an incident last week in which lie protested about ton much noise in the Sen. ate press gallery. "But that's insignificant," the senator went on. "I do have a great disappointment in the American press as a whole, (or I have sat in the Senate for I!) years and I think I'm a pretty good witness in the operation of the press in handling political Canadian Line Super Derails KAMLOOPS.

Fire chiefs and mayors from throughout Oregon attended the meeting. Opposing the request were W. F. Williams and Carl Wecrs. of the San Francisco office of the National Board of Fire Under writers, and A. J. Snow of the Oregon Insurance Rating Bu reau. Williams said many of the ob jections voiced hy ttie cities were outdated and had already been corrected by changes in tiie rules. He said statewide fire loss ex perience was the major factor in setting fire insurance rates. news, and in my judgment, the press does not do, by and large, an objective job of publishing the news." He said he blamed editors more than reporters. "I'd take my chances even though I've had my difficulties with the working press, in the objectivity of the working press,"' the senator said. "But the fact is that their stories are re-written at a higher level or they're cut out entirely at high er level." Morse said thai during the re cent Senate debate on foreign aid, he and others like Sen. Er nest Grucning, D-Alaska, had made speeches criticizing the program hut "you pick up the press and find not a single ref erence to the speech. "You'll find in that ame pa per a lot of inconsequential news and I happen to think that the press owes to the American people objective reporting on major issues." Morse said that the situation has become "steadily worse in my judgment, steadily worse." "I've had even representatives of the great wire services come to me and tell me how sorry they were that a story they had sent in on some issue that I had raised in the Senate was cut out, but they even in some in stance showed me the story they sent in; hut it was cut out at the upper desk." he said. 86 PROOF.

He said if the rates for each city were based on that city's fire loss alone, a major fire could force insurance rates up so high nobody could afford in surance. He denied that the board of underwriters, which grades Portland, Eugene and Salem, or the Oregon Rating Bureau, w hich grades the state's smaller cities were arbitrary in their act ion. Rep. F. F.
