Longshoremen's
Arraignment In
Riot Case Slated
THE DALLES, Ore., Nov. 4.
UP) Fifteen CIO longshoremen
were in jail here today, awaiting
arraignment in the pineapple riot
case.
The men, arrested in Portland
and Vancouver, Wash., were
brought here, handcuffed and
guarded, last night. They all
seemed cheerful as they were
escorted into jail.
A new judge was to be assigned
to hear the charge that the men
swarmed over The Dalles dock
Sept. 28 to halt the unloading of
Hawaiian pineapple. Two truck
drivers were hurt and some equip
ment damaged in the outbreak.
Judge Malcolm W. Wilkinson,
who issued the warrants for the
men's arrest, was automatically
disqualified yesterday when the
longshoremen's attorney request
ed a different judge.
Chief Justice Hall S. Lusk,
Salem, was asked to assign some
one to the bench here to conduct
the arraignments.
Gov. Douglas McKay said, in a
speech at Portland, that he was
sending an assistant to aid in the
prosecution of the riot case.
"No one," he told a Republican
rally, "is going to take the law
into their own hands in Oregon."
Warrants are still out for nine
more longshoremen, also named
in secret indictments here. ,
Non-union crews continued un
loading the pineapple today. A
court order has halted the picket
ing which led to the outburst of
violence. .

Eleven top American Commu

Less than three hours later a
brick-hurling Harlem mob felled
six police in a wild welcome
home for one of the Red leaders.
The Communist bigwigs signed
bail bonds totalling $260,000 and
walked out to a freedom that
may last a year until the U.S.
Supreme court reviews their re

conspiring to advocate violent
overthrow of the U.S. Govern

Jr., Negro city councilman, met
a roaring welcome when he made
a street-corner speech in Harlem
a short time later. With him were
defendants Henry Winston, also
a Negro, and Robert Thompson,
Negro singer Paul Robeson,
leftist target of two recent Peek

A crowd of about 2,000 cheered
the speakers and then began a

Commerce Dept.
For Oregon Urged
PORTLAND, Nov. 4.-UP
.Oregon ought to have a :depart

the state's growth.
Thnt was the recommendation
of Secretary of State Newbry
In a speeeh before the Electrio
club here yesterday.
Newbry recommended that the
next legislature set up "a small,
highly skilled department to di
gest (he reports of other state
and federal agencies, and put out
information in a practical and
usable form."
Such a department, Be said,
would be especially useful during
Oregon's present industrial ex
pansion. He said 30 states set up
such commerce branches this
year.
Newbry also disclosed a plan to
bill people when their drivers'
licenses are due for renewal. "I
think It's a shame," he said, "that
a man should be stopped on the
highway and fined $o for hav
ing an expired operator's permit
without any notice from the
