Secret Diary
Had Information
On Army Generals
WASHINGTON, July & Km
A secret diary figured prominent
ly in the Senate's "five percent
er' Drone todav with a nint u
gave up data partly responsible
lor suspension oi two top army
procurement officers.
The bulky, loose-leaf book be
longed to James V. Hunt, one
time army colonel named by a
businessman as the one to whom
he paid $1,000 for help In seek
ing a government contract.
Senate investigators talked
guardedly of the diary. But Sen
ator Hoey (D.-N. C.) Indirectly
acknowledged that it contained
the names of the suspended ma
jor generals and that data from
the uiary s pages paruy lea to
their suspensions.
The two suspended army of
ficers are Maj. Gens. Herman
Feldman, the quartermaster gen
eral, and Alden H. Waltt, chief
of the chemical corps. Army Sec
retary Gordon Gray relieved
them of duty temporarily, say
ing they had failed to exhibit
judgment "expected of persons
In their positions."
What touched off the Investi
gation by Senator Hoey's Senate
expenditures subcommittee was
the disclosure by Paul Grlndle, a
Massachusetts manuf a c t u r e r,
that he had entered Into a 5 per
cent contract with Hunt for gov
ernment business Hunt might
turn up.
Grlndle was quoted In a copy
righted story by the New York
Herald Tribune as saying Hunt
told him he had influence with
Maj. Gens. Feldman, Waltt and
Harry H. Vaughan, military aide
of President Truman. Hunt has
denied ha ever tried to sell his
influence.

Dislikes Farm Programs
PORTLAND. July 23 Na-
tional Grange Master Albert S.
Goss, In Oregon to visit a brother,
said today the farm organization
doesn't like either the Brannan

system, adaptable to different
commodities on loan, allocation
and subsidy basis, was favored.

administer the plan to assure fair
prices for agricultural products
and apportion among them the
losses from surpluses.

man for the big rural organiza
tion said milk controls in some
states Illustrated what the
Grange had In mind.
He said dairymen are guaran
teed a minimum price on drink
ing milk, but share losses on sur-
filus supplies used in manufactur
ng of other consumer commodi
ties.
He spoke against subsidies gen
erally and said it was a "part of
the program for a welfare state.

Myrtle Creek
Sewerage Plan
Presented State
Plans for a sewage disposal
system at Myrtle Creek were
taken to a meeting of the State
Sanitary authority In Portland
Friday by James McGinty, the
city attorney.
McGinty represented Myrtle
Creek's mayor and city council,
who had been ordered to appear
en masse to show cause why
they should not be charged with
stream pollution.
When Mayor Leo Sanders pro
tested that the expense would
be too great for the entire coun
cil to go, he was informed that
it would not be necessary for all
to appear as long as the city
was adequately represented.
McGinty took with him a copy
of a preliminary plan for a sew
er system and plant layout de
signed by James R. Daugherty,
rioseDurg, retained Dy Myrtle
Creek as city engineer.
The plan Is based on a com
plete topographic survey of the
city. The proposed sewerage sys
tem covers the platted and pop
ulated areas inside the present
corporate boundaries and pro
vides for extensions Into sections
which may be annexed in the
future.
A sewage disposal Dlant would
be located at the junction of
mynie creeK and the south
Umpqua river. The location, aavs
Daugherty, Is most advantageous
topographically and strategically
being both isolated and avail
able for the purpose. Effluent
from the plant would be discharg
ed into the river, safely down
stream ir"m the city s water
pumping station.

Deadline Is Set
For Pulp Mills
To End Polution
PORTLAND. July 23. UP)
The state sanitary authority has
set Dec. 31, 1951, as the deadline
for five Willamette valley puip
and paper mills to stop polluting
the river. The alternative is to
shut down their plants.
The deadline voted last night
was set to coincide with the ex
pected completion of a new $15,
000,000 sewage disposal system
for the City of Portland.
Members of the authority also
reloaded their legal guns to hur
ry valley towns along on the job
of installing other municipal
sewage purification plants.
Mills affected by the decision
are the West Linn and Lebanon
plants of the Crown Zellerbach
Corp.; Publishers' Pulp and Pa
per company at Oregon City;
Spaulding Pulp and Paper com
pany at Newberg and the Oregon
Pulp and Paper company at
Salem.
Attorney General George Neu-
ner attended the session and was
asked to review the written pol
lution abatement orders before
they are issued to the five indus
trial mills.
Sanitary Engineer Curtis M.
Everts Jr. said there no longer
exists a valid reason for delay
ing installation of equipment
that will purify liquid wastes
now being dumped into the riv
ers. Blaine Hallock reminded the
authority members they might
as well expect a court test of the
anti-pollution regulatory law.

Ape And Panther
Battle To Death
SPOKANE, Wash., July 23.
(JP) The cousin of Gargantua, a
big, 300-pound gorilla, was whip
ped last night in a raging two
hour battle with a black panther
and finally killed by bullets from
his trainer's gun.
The panther, ape and a 600
pound lion were being exhibited
In separate compartments of a
large cage at a traveling wild
animal show when the cat slip
ped under a gate lntojhe goril
la's 6x8 foot , section.
Before a crowd of nearly 400;
the beasts locked In a fight to
the death while the Hon roared
continuously in the adjoining
compartment.
The panther slashed, ripped and
chewed as the ape struck sledge
hammer blows with his massive
arms. Attendants tried vainly to
separate the crazed beasts. Final
ly Trainer Rudy Smith shot and
killed the gorilla, one of whose
arms was nearly severed at the
shoulder.
Not until meat was tossed to)
the cat could the ape's carcass
be pulled from the cage. Chloroform-soaked
raps helDed oulet th
frenzied survivor, which escaped
with severe slashes about the
head and shoulders.
The show, operating out of
San Diego, Calif., and playing at
a nearby lake resort, was closed
last night after the battle. Al
Meyers, manager, said the gorilla
had been purchased about 18 .
months ago from the Fieischman 1
zoo at Pasadena, Calif., and was
valued at $2,200. He said it was
Gargantua's cousin.
The gate under which the pan
ther crawled apparently was left
unlocked, Meyers said, after the
cage was cleaned yesterday.
