picture.
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.
House Trailers
Up For Sale; Vets
Given Priority
H, L. Scofleld, executive direc
tor of the Douglas county hous

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

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.

On Proposed Restriction
t Continued from Page One)-
tltat the limit would permit of not
more than two fish 20 inches or
more in length in any one day,
nor more than four fish of 20
inches in any seven consecutive
days. 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.

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

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.

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.
