DARKHORSE PREDICTION

At Salt Lake Today; Son
Of Wendell Willkie Entered
SALT LAKE CITY, June 25. UP) Young Republicans elect a
new chairman today with Indiana's Philip Willkie raising a dark
horse threat against major contenders.
Told by GOP National Chairman Hugh D. Scott that President
Truman has "mortgaged" their future, delegates appeared likely to
choose a new head o the young Republican National Federation
from among a field that Included California's Laughlin E. Waters.
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
FROM Salt Lake City, where the
National Young Republican
Federation is holding Its 1949 con
vention, there comes a refreshing
NEW note In politics.
In a pre-convention address,
Philip Willkie, son of the late
(and great) Wendell Willkie,
urges the Republican party to
FOSTER UNITY between busi
ness and labor groups. He says
the present (and past) conflict
between labor and business tends
to push American politics into the
Karl Marx class warfare pattern
and to advance the cause of those
who seek to destroy the private
enterprise system.
He goes on:
"Businessmen talk free enter
prise to each other. Labor people
talk to each other about the hor
rors of the Taft-Hartley Act. The;
two groups meet ONLY IN CON
FLICT at the bargaining table,
in a strike or in legislative fight."
As a practical suggestion, he
proposes organization of Republican-sponsored
clubs composed of
labor and businessmen to BREAK
DOWN SEGREGATION between
workers and employers and ex
plore the possibilities of mutual

Tripped By Intended Victim;
Wanted In Many Major Cities
CHICAGO, June 25. f) Sigmund Z. Engel, who for 50 years
has wooed gullible widows and fleeced them of their fortunes, was
tripped up by one of his intended victims yesterday.
The dapper, aged Lothario, whose suave talk and glib manner
earned him a reputation as an international confidence man, was
seized in a police trap in a Michigan avenue shop.
Mrs. Genevieve Parro. 55-vear-
old widow, led the 73-year-old
Engel into the police net as. they
went to the shop to buy luggage
for a proposed holiday trip.
Mrs. Parro became suspicious
of the smooth-talking romeo
who posed as Paul Marshall, a
wealthy Evanston resident after
he started a whirlwind courtship
with her earlier this week. She
notified Policewoman Marian
Hagon. her sister-in-law.
Police, who had been searching
for Engel for allegedly bilkins
another Chicago widow of $8,000
earlier this month, urged Mrs.
Parro to carry on her romance
with Engel. She agreed and con
sented" to a marriage proposal :

Willkie In Running
Willkie, 29-year-old son of the
late Wendell L. Willkie, got Into
the race late after he had been
named an official of Indiana
Young Republicans by telegraph.
New York's Ralph E. Becker
is the retiring national chairman.
Waters, who has supported Gov.
Earl Warren's tax program in the
California Legislature, went Into
the final session with solid West
Coast support and some south

the withdrawal of Alex Ackerman
Jr. of Florida.
Water's strongest opponent had
been Pennsylvania's Frank C. P.
McGlinn whom Scott said had
quit the race after a caucus of the
Pennsylvania Young Republicans.

Senator Cain
Challenges
Lobby Right
Privilege Of Officials
To Support Or Oppose
Measure Is Questioned
WASHINGTON. June 25.-)
Senator Cain (R.-Wash.) said
today he plans to press his Ques
tion of whether government offi
cials violate the anti-lobbying
law when they publicly oppose or
support legislation pending in
congress.
Cain charged before the Sen
ate Public Works Committee" yes
terday that C. Glrard Davidson,
assistant secretary of the interior,
violated the 36-year-old law when
he made Pacific Northwest
speeches for a Columbia Valley
Administration.
President Truman has asked
Congress to pass the CVA bill
which is before Senate and House
committees.
Gov. Douglas McKay of Ore
gon was testifying against the
bill when Cain suddenly said Da
vidson had. violated the law in
supporting the CVA in speeches
in the Northwest.
Cain said he intended to press
his question when Davidson re
sumes his testimony, started ear
lier in the week. Davidson step
ped aside Wednesday to permit
Pacific Northwest supporters of
the CVA to testify.
Immediately after Cain made
his charge, Chairman Chavez (D.
N. M.) and Senator Sparkman
(D., Ala.) said the law was never
intended to prevent government
officials explaining legislation
which affects their departments.
McKay attacked the bill as "a
pattern of government by and
through a huge federal corpora
tion a federal corporation which
could be controlled and dominat
ed by htree men. And these men,
to obtain their appointment,
must subscribe to the corporate
philosophy of government which
t)iis bill represents.". .
The governor saia ne couio. not

the development of the Columbia
Basin. His opinion was reiterated

Vancouver Fire
Destroys Huge
Shipyard Building
VANCOUVER, Wash., June 25.
(JP) Fire of mysterious origin
destroyed a block-long building in
the sprawling Vaucouver ship
yard last night, sending up
flames and smoke clouds visible
for miles around.
Firemen from Vancouver, Mc
Loughlin Heights, and Portland
prevented the blaze from spread
ing to other structures in the
265-acre government-owned yard.
A section of an adjoining pipe
shop caught fire briefly, but it
was extinguished.
The blaze, so spectacular that
Portlanders thought the entire
yard was burning, broke out in
the 200 by 400-foot two-story
building used for general stores
during the war.
How it started was not de
termined. S. M. Buffett, guard
superintendent for the U. S.
Maritime Commission, said the
building was empty except for
a few iile cabinets, and had not
been entered all day.
The yard, inactive since the
war, is manned by only a guard
crew. The crew had been cut
from 35 to 24 only yesterday.
The FBI was reported question
ing the men.
The damage was not estimated,
but Buffett said the building
cost about $400,000 when it was
built in 1942.
Senate To Investigate .
'Peddlers 0f Influence'
WASHINGTON, June 24. HP)
A broad senate investigation
aimed at persons who "hold
themselves out as peddlers of in
fluence" and charge fat fees for
helping to get government con
tracts was ordered today.
Senator Hoey (D.-N. C), chair
man of the Senate Investigations
subcommittee, said that cases in
which excessive fees are paid
"must be based on a tacit under
standing that some worthwhile
conniving will take place."
In announcing the Investiga
tion, he said that one thing the
committee hopes to do is to dis
pel "the wholly fallacious Idea"
held by some persons that "In
dealing with the government a
little dishonesty is the best
policy."

Senate To Ballot
On Injunctions
To Block Strikes
WASHINGTON, June 24. UP)
Senate leaders agreed today
that the votes of about a half
dozen "doubtful Senators prob
ably will decide the battle of in
junctions to block critical strikes.
The Senate has agreed to vote
Tuesday on that hot issue. The
outcome appears certain to be
close.
The Senate will ballot first on
an amendment by Senator Hol
land (D-Fla) to keep the Taft
Hartley law provision for injunc
tions against strikes which
threaten the national welfare.
Then it will vote on an amend
ment bv Senator Lucas (D-IU) to
authorize the government to seize
struck plants or industries for up
10 du aays.
The main choice at this time is
between those two plans. And the
Senate seems to be divided into
two nearly equal camps.
After agreeing yesterday to
vote Tuesday on the Holland and
the Lucas amendments, the
Senate sidetracked the labor hill
and spent nearly the whole riav
on other business. The Senators
also cancelled plans for a session
today.

Nations To Hold Elections
OREGON SATURDAY, JUNE
The negotiations here with well
over half of the soft coal indus
try recessed until Tuesday, pre
sumably to permit the operators
to confer with their fellow em
ployers across the nation.
Lewis himself declined to com
ment on the report. He remained
at White Sulphur Springs.
But it was learned from well
informed persons in the industry
"there issomething to the . pro
posal." The United Mine Workers chief
served notice at the union conven
tion in Cincinnati last October
that miners "will all work three
days if that is all the work there
is."
There was no indication how
long negotiations might last.
Many operators believe it will be
at least six weeks before a con
tract can be written.
An agreement to keep the mines
in operation on a limited scale
but without a nationwide coal
strike would fit into Lewis' ex
pressed desire for stabilization of
employment in the mines.
The nation's 480,000 United
Mine Workers began their annual
10-day vacation today as new con
tract negotiations headed toward
the crucial stage.
The negotiators will be racing
against time when they meet
again next week. The UMW con
tract runs out June 30. There's
no question at least part of the
industry will be struck if a new
contract hasn't been signed by the
time the miners end their holiday.
The vacation is the third work
stoppage of the year for the
UMW miners but the first for
which they'll be paid. They get
$100 apiece from the operators.
In March the miners quit work

'Master Locker"
Privileges Given
To Private Clubs
PORTLAND. June 25. UP)
Orcgonians who belong to private
clubs can buy liquor from their
clubs with impunity now.
The State Liquor Control Com
mission yesterday authorized
"master locker" privileges to pri
vate clubs. The clubs can buy
liquor from the commission and
sell it to their members by the
bottle only for serving in the
club.
The commission took steps to
cut down Juvenile purchase of
beer, with a reauirement that
young-appearing people must fill
out age certificates in taverns.
The certificates must be re
turned to the commission by the
tawrn owners for checking.
The commission also forbade
all establishments ' to transfer
wine from one container to an
other. That was designed to elimi
nate a practice of making wine
and pouring it into "name brand"
bottles.
Licenses were granted to Ellis
Grocery, Roseburg; and Smith
