Police Powers Asked
For Game Commission
PORTLAND, Dec. 9-WP) Po
licing powers for the State Game
commission were urged here yes
terday by Ira N. Gabrielson,
resident of the National Wild
ife institute.
Oregon is the only state, not
having game wardens, that uses
money from hunting and fishing
licenses for support of the state
police, he said.
Arguing for use of game war
dens, he said, "a warden under
supervision of the Game com
mission knows the reason for
every game law and can explain
it to sportsmen. And he is en
gaged in law enforcement all
the year around."
A former Oregonian, Gabriel
son is here to advise the Game
commission on a program for
next year.
In 1770, when it was learned
that latex would rub out pencil
marks, it was called rubber .

Rep. Thomas Put
Payroll Padding
On Triple Basis
By th. Associated Ptmi)
Congressman J. Parnell Thom
as, sentenced In federal court to
day lor payroll padding, put him
self at the mercy ol the court a
week ago Wednesday. Document
ed evidence of financial corrup
tion. tracKed down Dv the J-hi
had piled up against him in the
two and a-nall day trial.
So Thomas withdrew his plea
of not guilty and gave up fighting
the charges against him. Reports
circulated yesterday that Thom
as intended to resign from Con
gress even before the sentence.
Plotted to Cheat Gov't.
He and his former secretary.
Miss Helen Campbell, were ac
cused of plotting to cheat the gov
ernment oy putting on Tnomas
office payroll two women who
wouldn t work but would kick
back their salary checks to the
congressman.
Thomas alone was Indicted on
three separate charges of putt
ing Mrs. Jacqueline B. Hill on
the payroll of the un-American
Activities committee for kick
back purposes.
And it came out In the trial
that Thomas also had on his of
fice payroll the 71-year-old, bed
ridden aunt of his wife, and a
daughter-in-law who spent her
time in Aiieimaie, is. j,, mom
as' home town.
The government dropped its
case against the 64-year-old Miss
Campbell. She had unfo.ded the
story of tne kickback racket to
the FBI and supplied a lot of evi
dence. And her lawyer insisted it
was under compulsion from her
boss, perhaps to keep her job,
that she helped set up the payroll
padding scheme.
The government said this
scheme was a sort of triple play
affair that operated like this:
Miss Campbell got her niece,
Miss Myra Midkiff, and her
maid, Miss Arnette Minor, to put
their names on the office payroll,
sign their checks and turn them
over to her.
She put them In her own bank
account here. Then she wrote
checks for identical or similar
amounts and deposited them in
Thomas' account in Allendale,
FBI Agent Frederic Vechery
Investigated the case. He added
the Midkiff checks up to more
than $6,000 over a five-year pe
riod, 1940 through 1944. He said
Miss Minor got only three checks
totalling $375.05 in 1944.
Mrs. Hill's pay came to more
than $2,300, for three months on
the committee payroll :n 1947 and
1948 that were covered in the in
dictment and five months on the
office payroll that weren't cov
ered. The government conceded
Thomas let Mrs. Hill hold back
$50 a month total $400.
But there was no Indication
Miss Campbell or her niece or
maid got a penny out of the pay
roll doctoring.
The government picked out
money deals totaline onlv S1..
69S.37 on which, to base its in
dictment.
