Senatorial Investigation
Oregon's Freshman Senator Wayne Morse arrived in Washington last week with a cross-country eyeview, and an earful of what U.S. citizens are thinking about. Reason: to move his two prize horses (see cut) Senator Morse drove the 3,310 miles from his Oregon ranch in a 1941 Ford, towing a four-wheeled trailer. The trailer contained an ironing board, boxes of jelly & jam, an electric toaster and the horses, "Spice of Life" and "Oreganna Bourbon."
En route he gossiped with policemen, service-station operators, hotel clerks, salesmen, found all of them discussing military reverses with sober realism. Concluded Morse: "Almost everyone I saw-believes that you can't win all of the time. They felt sorry for our military leaders who were in difficulty, and were not angry with them and had not lost faith in them. They were sympathetic, but worried too."
