his personality was properly
analyzed in this verse:
"There is a young junior

But it ne'er makes him sad.
For to him that's a matter
of course."
Sentor Morse's political ac-
tivities, his turning independ-
ent, then his abandonment of
the Republican party to become
a Democrat is elaborated upon
as part of the overall evalua-
tion of the eminent senator's
remarkable skill as a politician.
He was the mentor of the
late Senator Neuberger, and
when the future Jewish Senator
was accused of cribbing. Morse
alone, as Dean of the Univer-
sity of Oregon law school, voted
in his defense. It was denied
at the time that Neuberger was
charged with cribbing because
he was Jewish.
Morse and the Neubergers re-
mained good friends under the
break that occurred shortly be-
fore the Senator's death. It is
elaborated upon in the biog-
raphy. Neuberger tried to patch
up differences, but Morse in-
sisted his colleague had hurt
him. This is one of the mys-
teries of Wayne Morse's life.
Smith's biography of the Ore-
gon senator, the maverick of
the legislative body, is superb.
It throws light not only on the
man but also on the serious
issues of our time.

'Liquidation' of Israel

Again Urged by Nasser

LONDON, (JTA) — Calling
Israel "the most dangerous
pocket of imperialist resistance
against the struggle of our peo-
ple," Egypt's President Gamal
Ahdel Nasser called again for
the elimination of Israel.
Presenting his new "national
charter of Socialist principles"
to the opening session of the
Congress of Popular Forces, at

which Nasser has brought to-
gether handpicked representa-
tives of "peasants and workers,"
the Egyptian dictator reiterated
his old policy of the "need"
for Israel's destruction. Egypt,
he said, would "insist on the
liquidation of Israeli aggression
on part of the Palestine land."
