They included the nine

Morse Action
Held Doubtful
Luce Case Censure
Move Discounted
BY CECIL HOLLAND
star stan writer

Senate leaders today dis
counted any censure move
against Senator Morse. Demo-
crat Of Oregon. for his role in
the flaming controversy that
led to the resignation of Clare
Boothe Luce as Ambassador to
Brazil.
Mrs. Luce resigned yesterday,
three days after the Senate
confirmed her appointment,
with a parting blast at Senator
Morse for what she described
as extraordinarily ugly charges
against my person"
Her resignation, accepted
with regret by President Eisen-
hover. Immediately brought
from Senator Capehart. Repub-
lican of Indiana. a proposal for
the Senate to censure Senator
Morse for iflQuiring Of Mrs.
Luce's physician whether she
had received peychiatric treat
ment.
senator Capehart called this
|"the height Of responsibility. |"
But Democratic and Republican
Senators alike brushed of his
proposal for censure. Most Of
them regarded it as just an
other episode in the running
feud between the two Senators.
Morse Sees "Trick"
AS for Senator Morse. he
called the censure proposal IAN
old forensic trick" for Senator
Capehart and added: I'm per-
fectly willing to let the Senate
be the jury"
In a restrained comment on
Mrs. Luce's resignation itself.
Senator Morse commended the
Observation-Disclosures for resign
ing and the President for ac-
cepting it.

said smoothly that he woulc
be a favorite-son candidate ir
the States presidential pri-
maries and that he was pretty
sure he would not step aside

This was construed as q
warning to his youthful guest
who might possibly be tempted
by his show Of strength IN re-
cent polls or by anything he
hears during this three-day
swing to put the matter to q
vote. Nor did the Senator fare
much better among the State
legislators whom he addressed
