He said we must stop juggling percentages and stop playing pol itics if we wls'i 13 fwvc cur prs blems. He analyzed the national bud' get, stating 34 cents out of every dollar goes for national defense. This must continue at home and abroad, because we never again can "go It alone." But of that 34 cents, there is a tremendous waste. Defense Chief Pralied As a member of the Senate Armed Serv oes committee. Sen ator Morse declared that Secre tary Johnson Is deserving of commendation, not condemns tion. in his unification program. because he is cutting down on waste. "Don't ever let the military control get out of civilian ."lands, he warned. "I shall lament the day we permit it to get into the hands of the brass. We need more concentration of the armed forc es in civilian hands, not less." He says he can foresee no dan ger ot a dictatorship tnrougn uni fication, but he can foresee great' er economy. Senator Morse praised the Hoover report of centralized eco nomy as a most constructive and affirmative proposal. It has holes but these can be plugged if we can get away from sectionalism. We must stop bloc pressure pol itlca bv those who want every' thing for themselves, but nothing for the other person, he declared. Of the 16 cents of our tax dol lar going for foreign aid, a great amount could I saved through ecomony methods, he argued. He derided those who feel the 13 cents we pay on tire double debt is a neaitny situation, tie stat ed he Is a believer of the - old Yankee tradition that says to pay (axes and debt. The way to eco nomize is io start paying on the debt. Raise the value of the doliar,, don't lower it. The laxity of the government In paying its debt Is reflected in the general public. Eighteen cents of our tax dol lar goes for other government expenditures, but, he believes, great economies can be effect ed through application of the Hoover report. Of the six cents for social security and 13 cents for veterans' aid, he stated, the programs cannot be altered, but great savings could be made in their administration. Congress must do its own job, not pass the buck to the Presi dent. He criticized the defeated McClellan amendment, which would have given the President the power to cut the budget, as this would be giving entirely too much blanket power to the pre sident. Affiliation Unchanged "I have no intention of trans ferring my party affiliation from the Republicans to the Demo erats," stated Sen. Wayne ,.L Morse who visited in Roseburg Tuesday. Morse made that state ment in response to questioning relative to a press dispatch that he had "discussed such a move with President Truman." The reporter who wrote that story was on a 'fishing' expedi tion, ne declared, Morse nas repeatedly denied the report, which, he said, was an outgrowth of a half-hour conference with the President on the aDoolntmeiit of an Oregon man to a federal position and a general discussion on tne ar tasi situation. The senator pooh-poohed the proposal to move Boeing Aircraft from Seattle. He admitted Alaska and northern hemisphere de fenses were pitifully weak, and decried the need for strength ening that area, together with the establishment of a protective radar screen over the North Am erican continent.

Chineso Reds Free Ward, Order Him To Get Out (Continued From Page One) men and he were "up and about" The State department Instruct ed Blubb to tell Ward "that he and his entire staff are to depart from Mukden forthwith." The four Jailed with Ward were Ralph Rehberg, of Rochester, N. Y a foreign service clerk: Shiro Tatsuml, a mechanic, for merly of Seattle, Wash., and two European employes of the Con sulate, Franco CIcognia and Al fred Krlsatn. Rehberg and Tat suml are American citizens. ' There was no explanation here as to what kind of transportation from Mukden might be given the Consulate staff. On previous oc casions the Communists had promised to take the Consulate personnel out of Mukden but nev er made good their promises. Charges Detailed The State department's an nouncement said in part: , "The individual sentences im posed by the Mukden Commu nists were: Ward, six mo ths' Imprisonment, one year parole; Ralph C. Rehberg and Alfred Kristan, lour montns imprison ment, one year parole; Shiro Tat suml and Frank CIcognia three months' imprisonment, one year parole. "Mr. Ward also reoorted that In addition to being charged with tne assault oi a uninese worker, he was charged with certain fi nancial obligations, including compensation to the injured, sev erance pay, and extra salary payments. The latter two charges apparently are in connection with closure of the Consulate and dis charge of the staff." American officials had hopeful ly looked for some "break" in the case since Secretary of State Acheson's move last week for concerted pressure by 30 nations on the Communists. Acheson ask ed the 30 nations to express their concern to the Cninese Commu nlsts. The results of the case strength ened the theory held by Ameri can authorities that the com munist motive all along was to discredit Ward and make it ap pear that he was being forced out of the country instead of leaving voluntarily.

The special season would apply only to waters below Rock creek on the North Umpqua and Jackson creek on the South Ump qua, the main Umpqua river and tributaries west of Highway 99. Ross Newcomb, game depart ment biologist in charge of the Umpqua river study, indicated that the special season would be acceptable on the basis of fish population but stated that scien tific studies may result In rec ommendation that the two -fish limit, now applicable during the entire winter season, be removed and the bag limit restored to two fish more than 20 Inches in length. Anglers favored retention of present seasons and bag limits on steelhead and salmon, except that the fall salmon season lie closed Oct. 31 in all but tidewa ter. It was pointed out that fish taken from the upper river after Oct. 31 are, for the most part, overripe and near the spawning stage. They are poor food' fish, due to the fact they have been too long in fresh water. Tidewa ter areas, where the fish still would be In good condition for food purposes, would remain open to angling. Legislative Act Needed A proposal that Dear creek, in the Roseburg area, be stocked and reserved for fishing exclu sively by children was withdrawn after Carl C. Hill, chairman of the Game commission, explained that an act of the legislature would be required to reserve wa ters for a particular age group. He explained further that the matter of reserving an area for a particular type of fishing, such as the proposal to limit the Rock creek-Toketee Falls section of the North Umpqua to fly fishing, was within the province of the com mission, as it Involved only regu lation and not a matter of law. Pros and Cons Argued The fly fishing restriction evok ed long and vigorous debate, par ticularly on the grounds that it was class regulation and would deprive many people of recrea tion. Statements were made that many fishermen cannot afford expensive fly fishing equipment and would require much tune to perfect skill in fly casting. Par ticular argument was made that the regulation would interfere with family groups where women or children, prevented from fish ing with bait and untrained or physically unable to handle fly tackle, would not be able to fish. On the other hand, it was de clared that the upper river will not carry the fishing intensity being placed upon It, and which will increase with completion of the new road along the river bench; that fishing with artificial flies is the least destructive an gling method, and that the "time has come when angling must be considered from the standpoint of sport rather than meat" Division of opinion was only slightly In favor ot the proposed restrictions. Proposals will be reviewed by the Umpqua Basin Conservation council, the coordinating body for all sports clubs of the area prior to presentation to the Game com mission. to close the consulate and leave Mukden with his entire staff last spring, but the communists never provided transportation. He has been there under com munist rule since the city fell to the Reds a year ago this month. Much of that time he has not been able to communi cate with the outside world. THIS SIGN THINK OF DECORATING Bridges' Counsol Gets 6 Months For Contempt (Continued from Page One) based on the 1941 hearing, that Bridges had not been proved a communist. Although Haliinan was granted a stay of sentence, he probably will have to serve it once the case has been decided. Judge Harris' original order also directed that Halllnan's name be strl.-ken frorr: the roll of attorney in his court His face dark with anger, tne judge raked Haliinan over the coals for "improper" and "in flammatory" conduct during the first week of the trial. He decided to sta'y the sentence only after urgent pleas by Hal llnan's associate, James Maclnnis, and after Bridges himself had expressed doubt he would get "a square deal" if he had to change counsel. Bridges wanted the case put over until Haliinan would be available. It would have marked the sec ond time that Bridges had to get a new attorney in this case. Rich ard Gladstein, who usually repre sents the union leader, withdrew as counsel after receiving a six month contempt sentence in New York, where he served as counsel for the defendants in the com munist trial. Judge Eaaes Attitude Announcing his decision to let Haliinan continue, Judge Harris called for a "forgive and forget" attitude, and the discarding of wrangling and ill will. "Let's try this case like gentle men; like lawyers; like Ameri cans," he said. Haliinan said the judge's act was "magnaminous" as far as his client was concerned. During the height of the tor rid, acrimonious clash, Haliinan shouted demands for a mistrial and tried unsuccessfully to dis qualify Judge Harris from taking any further action in the con tempt proceeding. He charged per sonal bias and prejudice. Likened To Mad Dog Haliinan offered an affidavit asserting his good faith. But chief r-rosecuior r. josepn uononu said this was "scurrilous and scanda lous, impertinent and conteinDtu- ous on its face." Donohu accused ' Haliinan of roaring "up and down this court room like a mad dog, disregarding the rights of everyone, includine your honor." ine court held that Haliinan consistently had ignored his rules and directions, insisted on going afield, and sought to bring In mat ter ruled out by the judge, includ ing references to the 1939 and 1941 denortation hearings and the 1945 supreme court opinion. uting some w to 50 speficlc in stances, Judge Harris asserted: Mr. Hainnan was not bearing on contempt He was contemptu ous in every lorm and degree. Haliinan countered anerilv that the judge "exhibited personal hnrrprl nnH ftlelllrct fnr mo" OmH ha said Harris had prejudiced the case oi tne detendants. .

IPhomie 1 Politics Enter Trial Of 12 For Negroes' Beating ROME, Ga., Nov. 23 OPy Democratic party politics today was an issue in the federal trial of 12 men for conspiracy in the beating of seven Negroes. . The defense declared it would prove that thee politics inspired the government to accuse the 12 of plotting to violate the Negroes' civil rights. And besides' that, said Attor ney Frank Gleason. of Rossvllle, Ga., the defense w.ould prove that the government had hailed the wrong 12 men . before District Judge Frank A.. Hooper, anyhow. The defendants Dade county sheriff John W. Lynch, three of his deputies and eight private cit izens all pleaded innocent to the charges. Though the case was called Monday, the selection of the jury and the summoning of some 110 witnesses did not take place until yesterday. The Jury was named from a 35 man panel which included two Negroes and six self Identified members or former members -of the Ku Klux Klan. Both Negroes were rejected as jurymen and so were five of those who Identified themselves with the Klan. The sixth, James Enfield Berry of Summerville, Ga., became one of two alternate jurymen. ' The Klan figures In the case through the government's charge that the Dade county officers ar rested the Negroes "without tx cuse" and then turned them over to a mob of 50 to 75 men in Klan robes for beating. What Defense Contends Gleason told the jury, "We ex pect to show that in 1948 that Dade county was the scene of a most bitter political battle and the prosecution was inspired, con ceived and born" in the political arena. The defense attorney said proof would be given the jury that the prosecution stemmed from the victory of the regular Democrat ic party candidate, Sheriff Lynch, over an independent candidate, J. H. Beatty, in the general elec tion. Beatty was one of two candi dates who opposed Lynch in the Democratic primary. Lynch won the primary , and Beatty subse quentjy ran as an independent against him in the general elec tion.

Ferguson and Irene Ferguson have issued an answer to plaintiff's com plaints and asking the court to issue a decree dismissing the complaints as being without equity. The defendants also ask for a decree enjoining the plaintiff or i.-.; of his : agents from opera ting a sawmill on the property in question. A further decree is ask ed to require the removal of the sawmill, now .on the property. Defendants also ask they be awarded costs of the litigation. A second money suit has been filed by Douglas Creditors Asso ciation, naming P. O. Murphy as defendant. The plaintiff demands judg ment for $224.36 and $248.60, plus interest on two assigned accounts. Merger Of Dixie Klans Probable ROME, Ga., Nov. 23-W The two largest Ku Klux Klans in the south have taken a step aimed at eventual unity.. Imperial Wizard Samuel Roper announced yesterday that the as soclatlon of Georgia Klans, which he heads, has reached a "work ing agreement" with the federat ed Klans of Alabama. This agreement, said Roper, sooner or later will lead to con solldatloh of the two groups. Rop er also heads the Associated Klans of America. The exact number of Klansmen who would be affected by the prospective consolidation is not known. Roper has said previous ly, however, that, his organization has "hundreds of thousands" on its roster. Klan leaders have, sought uni fication for more than a decade and a half, ever since the break up of the organization in the early 1930s. The modern Klan, which came into existence soon after World War One, was once a pow erful political factor in the south. The agreement between the Georgia and Alabama Klans, Roper said, was reached at a meeting Sunday with William Hugh Morris, a Birmingham con tractor who directs the Alabama Klansmen. and 10 -years imprisonment or both. The second count which charges deprivation ot rights un der "color of law," is punish able upon conviction with a $1, 000 fine and one year in jail, or both. Heed!
