plause. He repeatedly came back

of his performance played three

from the serious type of selec
tions, such as bach's "Grave"
from the piano suite in B flat
minor, which is being presented
In its present arrangement by

the United States, to the lighter
interpretaions of such numbers as

Black Swan," and Harold Trigg's
"Danza Brazilians."

"Variations" by Joachim; "Rondo"
by Mozart; "Concerto In A Minor,"

Plan Cited By Cordon

Congressman Thomas
Should Quit, Opinion
(Continued from Page One)
and a half-day trial.
In it, the government contend
ed thousands of dollars were paid
out for work that never was done.
This money, it claimed, turned
up in Thomas' bank account. Fur
thermore, the government pro
duced testimony that .Thomas
kept relatives on the payroll who
did no work one of them a 71-year-old
bedridden woman.
House Could Expsl
Thomas doesn't have to resign,
even if he goes to Jail. If he
doesn't, the House could expel
him. Thomas still has a year to
go on his seventh term.
The few House members now
In town . agree that . Thomas
ought to hand In his resignation.
Thomas himself was saying
nothing, except that he was go
ing home to Allendale, N. J., and
come back next week.
Thomas' lawyer said the del
isting trade barriers, then it will
be time for us to lower tariffs."
Advice to Lumber Industry
Ills remarks on the Marsha!!
plan followed the statement that
there was "not much hope in the
Immediate future for a lumber
export market." He said other
countries have the desire to buy,
but no dollars with which to pay
for the goods.
As a result, Sen. Cordon said,
we must increase the variety of
our own wood nroducts so lunv
ber-producing Oregon will have
goods to offer other states. Es
pecially Is this a must in what
tne senator lermea ine ioubii
times."
To further acquaint himself
with the modern lumbering me
thods now utilized In Douglas
county, Sen. Cordon said he
would like nothing better than co
spend several weeks in KoseDurg
"doing Just that."
He said there is still a need
to urge all lumber operators in
this area the necessity for long
term, sustained yield operations.
"There must be no indiscrimi
nate cutting. Planned deforesta
tion is every bit as necessary
as planned reforestation," the
senator declared.
He said this area must plan
the lumber industry on a sus
taining agricultural basis. If not,
"We have only ourselves to
blame for what might follow."
Busy Period Ahead
After staying a little more than
a week In Roseburg, "nearly the
longest time I've spent in my
home town in five years," the
senator said he Is off for Salem
today for a meeting with the
Willamette Basin commission
and discussion of the flood con
trol program. While in Salem, he
hopes to meet with the state
board of the farm bureau arid
will greet Gov. McKay.
A series of general meetings
in Portland will occupy him Fri
day and Saturday and next week
he will be visiting dam sites and
projects in Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. Following this, he will
spend several weeks in Califor
nia, familiarizing himself with
two reclamation projects in ord
er to report his observations to
the Senate appropriations com
mittee, of which he is a member.
Shortly after Christmas, Sen.
Cordon will return to Washing
ton, D. C.
Lewis Restores 3-Day
Work Week For Miners
(Continued From Page One)
sion to place the congressman at
the mercy of the court was made
out of consideration for Thomas'
health and his family. .
His nleadlne no contest doesn t
necessarily mean he will get a
lighter sentence than he would
have if the jury had found him
guuty.

the walkout seemed fully effect
ive. Mine after mine reported: -"Were
set to mine coal but
the miners aren't coming to
work."
Iwls strategy is In the form
of a compromise because it keeps
the coal miners at work before
Christmas, thus reducing the
threat of a revolt among the
coal diggers who have been re
ported in several states to be
grumbling about meager earn
ings this year.
Bleak Christmas Faced
The walkout, if protracted, will
be a body blow to 400,000 United
Mine Workers and their families.
Already the diggers, their wives
and their kiddies face a bleak
Christmas. The government esti
mates the three previous walkout's
have cost the miners $300,000,000
around $750 a man.
The first walkout came even
before the li;01 a. m. deadline set
by an aloof Lewis. The usually
fiery UMW chief simply had no
comment. '
Two hours before the truce ex
pired, some 200 miners failed to
report for the overnight shift at
the No. 4 and 5 mines of Jones &
Laughlln Steel Corporation at
nearby California, fa.
Then, the walkout became offi
cial at one minute after midnight.
And reoorts of more mine idle-
ness began trickling in. Hundreds
of miners in West Virginia, Ken
tucky, Virginia and Illinois didn't
report for the overnight tricks.
Several thousand miners
worked the overniRht shifts, prln
cipally in Pennsylvania and
Virginia.
However. UMW sources Insisted
this was routine. They explained
the miners worked out the iast
shifts so they could obtain the
same pay as diggers who worked
tne urst two snuis yesieraay.
While the soft coal truce ex
Dired. there was no indication a
S"mpathy walkout would spread
to the UMW's anthracite miners,
consequently, the 80,000 hard coal
diggers in eastern Pennsylvania
were expected to go to work as
scheduled.
Negotiations for a new anthra
cite agreement are slated to re
sume in New York, Dec. 6.
For months, Lewis has been
trying to get a new contract to
enforce the demands hes never
publicly announced. He's merely
said they wqujd add 30 to 35 cents
a ton to the cost of coal.
The miners' basic waee Is
$14.05 for an eight-hour day.
Average weekly earnings run
about $70.
But the operators pay millions
of dollars to the miners besides
wages. Through a 20-cents-a-ton
royalty they finance entirely the
cost of a $100-a-month pensions
for retired miners and a health
and welfare fund.

attorneys to retire to his cham
ber and present their arguments
before making a final ruling.
Upon their return to the court
room ten minutes later, Judge
East announced that two or t..c
three pictures would be admitted.
McGlnty had previously claimed
the prosecution was attempting
t prejudice the Jury against his
client, Joseph Louis Kiel, by in
troducing the "gruesome" pic
tures. The pictures had been ta
ken by Dr. Richardson at the time
he examined the body, "as an aid
in identifying and describing
marks and bruises on the body."

by the defense that she not be
subject to further questioning,
Mrs. Crouse left the stand In tears,
to be comforted by friends in the
court room.
Kiel Drunk, Testimony
Degree of sobriety of the three
principals involved in the case

duced by witnesses for the state

tell the court conflicting accounts.
Kiel's sister, Mrs. Ann Stimson,
said he "was as drunk as I've ever
seen him."
Other witnesses' estimates of

state to be the third man in the
car the night Tucker died, testi
fied he did not know the deceased.
He admitted drinking heavily but
said he could remember nothing
after entering a dance hall.

drinking coffee at the Midway
cafe (in the Tri-City area)," he

fied that Tucker and Kiel had "as

the testimony, alternately twist
ing his fingers or sitting with

rapidly. One of the few times he

ture of the deceased, taken in the
