Morse Is Unlikely To Return to GOP
Washington—(U.P.)-The Republicans could need Sen. Wayne Morse's vote to organize the Senate on Jan. 3, and it appeared today they may not get it.
It won't matter in the long run, though. After Jan. 20, when Vice President elect Richard M. Nixon takes office as the Senate's presiding officer and tie-breaker, the party will have just enough votes—without ex-Republican Morse—to put itself in control.
Sen. Morse, the junior senator from Oregon, read himself out of the GOP recently with a blast at Dwight D. Eisenhower. He said he will be known hereafter as an independent Republican. He refused to say today whether he will vote with regular Republicans to organize the new Senate on opening day.
He was positive about one thing, though. He will continue to represent Oregon as he sees fit. He will vote with his erstwhile Republican colleagues when he thinks they are right. He will vote against them when he thinks they are wrong.
That's nothing new.
Sen. Morse's views as a self-styled "constitutional liberal" have embarrassed his GOP colleagues in the past. But they promised to be even more troublesome to GOP leaders trying to pass legislation with shaky Senate control.
"I shall continue to sit in the Senate and represent all the people of Oregon—even those who oppose me," Sen. Morse announced.
The possible significance of Sen. Morse's new party designation became apparent with latest election returns which showed this alignment for the new Senate: Republicans, 48. Democrats, 47. And Sen. Morse.
When Congress convenes the Senate's presiding officer will be Vice President Alben Barkley, a Democrat. With all Democratic members voting, and with Sen. Morse's help, the Democrats could if they chose—start the new Senate off under Democratic leadership.
Actually, this isn't likely.
It was clear that Sen. Morse was not ready to forgive and forget in the manner of some political leaders who have bolted their party in the past.
Late yesterday he sent a telegram congratulating Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson on his "noble" campaign for the presidency. Morse also wired President Truman his thanks for the President's "courageous" campaign fight.
But Sen. Morse sent no telegram to President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower. Earlier he had said Gen. Eisenhower and Sen. Nixon won the election by "foiling" the people.
