Wed., Jan. 25, 1950 Broadcast Hours On Liquor Ads Draw Protests KLAMATH FALLS, Jan. 25 VP) Oregon liquor control com missioners yesterday postponed action on protests against tne hours alcoholic beveraee adver tisements are allowed to be broadcast. Administrator William Hamm ond reported there had been 217 complaints against the recent lowering of the night time ban from 10 o'clock down to 8 o'clock. The commission decided to con tinue the earlier broadcast start ing hour, however, until the State Broadcasting association could express Its views. Commissioner John Crow, Portland, said athletic teams sponsored by taverns should tress food or some otner com modity in their uniform insignia. Me said too many stressed alco holic beverages. A Klamath Falls high school Darenta and Datrons club com mittee spent an hour with the commission airing the need lor closer checks on taverns. The parents complained beer was sold to youngsters and that com plaints were not investigated. James Pennieer, chairman of the club committee, said "a lot of high school kids go to various places and buy beer." He said nothing was done when the par ents complained. - Hammond said shortage of per sonnel was the reason for an y failure to follow up, but he urged the parents to continue to make their views known.

A decision to disqualify him self is up to each Justice. He is not compelled by law. However, a justice customarily steps down In a case when he feels that eith er side might be aggrieved by his considering it. Judge Goddard set bail at $10 000 pending appeal. The five-year term was Impos ed on each of two counts, the terms to run concurrently. Max imum sentence could have been five years Imprisonment on each count and $2,000 fine on each count. The jury held that Hiss lied when he denied passing secret state department documents to Whittaker Chambers, self-styled courier for a Communist spy ring and lied again when he de nied seeing Chambers after Jan. 1, 1937. Tries t. Oodge Prison Judge Goddard denied a de fense request that the 45-year-old Hiss not be Imprisoned saying: "This should be a warning that a crime of this character may nnr ho mmmlttpri with imniin. ity." A The government had recopfi- mended that Hiss be sentenced to five years on each count, Xo run concurrently. The government prosecutor of the caee assistant U. S. attorney Thomas F. Mur phy, did not recommend a fine, Murphy had retiuested a $25,- 000 bail but Judge Goddard said mat was "too .nigh.' Defense counsel Claude B. Cross of Boston told the court: "I think 1he defendant can raise JIO.WW Although Hiss received the ver dict with a stoical calm he show ed throughout the trial, friends said it came as a shock, and he never would end his fight for vindication. It took two trials for the gov ernment to win its case. The first trial ended In a jury dead lock, 8-4, for conviction last sum mer. ' The first perjury count cover ed Hiss' statement that he never fed the documents to the Com munist spy ring. The second count was that Hiss lied when he denied seeing his chief accuser, Whittaker Chambers, after Jan. 1, 1937. Chambers, who said he relayed the papers from Hiss to the spy ring as courier, was the govern ment's main witness in both trials. Just before Hiss was sentenced he arose from his seat, ashen faced, and walked slowly to with in a few feet of the bar, accom panied by two marshals. in a cicar voice ne aeciarea: "I would like to thank your honor for your consideration and for this opportunity again to de ny charges made against me.

Bill To Admit, More DPs To U. S. Is Advanced (Continued from page One) for visas fo be issued to: 10,000 Greeks ctisplaced in the GreeK civil wnr( 18,000 Poles who were members of the Polish armed forci-g on the side of the allies duving World War II, and 4,000 European refugees in Shanghai. Communists Barred The Senate committee's blil continued two provisions of the present law which the House bill would have ended. They are the reauirement that 30 per cent of the DPs must be agriculturists, and 40 per cent must be from oc cupied territories. In the case of the agricultur ists, the committee bill would re quire that visas be limited to people who have had at least two years of farm experience. The bill specifically bars Com munists, Marxists and persons who bore arms aganst the United States in the last war. It also gives the U. S. consular service and the immigration and naturalization service veto power over eligibility of, DPs. Their pres ent eligibility is now determinej by the displaced persons commis sion. Senator McCarran said this veto authority "reflects a strong er attitude toward protecting the government of the United Sates." Perjury Claim Unproven President Truman called for the "liberalization" of the DP law last summer to eliminate what he called discriminatory Drovl- slons against Jews and Catholic!. McCarran then made a tour of the DP camps to check on opera tions. He contended that the 1918 act permitted subversive agents to slip into this country In the guise of DPs. He also charged that "crime, fraud and perjury" figured in the selection of persons permitted to enter the U. S. The DP commission denied his charges. 1 he December, 194S cutoff date In the present law also was bit terly criticized. Opponents argued that it discriminated against many Jews from Poland who did not reach DP camps until 1946 or 1947. It was learned that most of the controversy In the committee's discussion centered around this point. McCarran said that the bill agreed upon in the end does not discriminate against anyone. SENATOR MORSE FILES SALEM. Jan. 25. P U. 8. Sen. Wayne L. Morse, Eugene Republican, filed his candidacy today for reelection.

SiittHus rtsiicti Cri,IX y old-time Chrysler Auto Plants Paralyzed ly Strike (Continued from page One) ers. From this fund money would be drawn by a company-union committee to cover pensions fall ing due. UAW President Walter Reuther said the company wanted to leave. nseu ciear to jern tne string at a later date by basing the pen sions on its promise to pay. Herman Wecklep, Chrysler gen eral manager, claimed Chrysler's plan was as good or better than any the CIO has won. "Chrysler pays wages regu larly," he said. "It pays Its bills reguiarly. Its pension and insur ance payments would be just as sure and sound." Reuther said the company was trying to "squeeze out" of the pension setup now in effect within the steel industry and at Ford Motor Co. In those Industries, labor won trust fund arrange ments. It took a strike to brln? a steel settlement last year but there was no walkout at Ford. Today was the second time within less than two years that the UAW called a walkout at Chrysler. The union won a 13 cent rise there in 1948 after a 17 day walkout. Further Parley Planned There was still hope that the current dispute might be solved. Government mediators, who step ped into the talks yesterday, sa.d they expected to arrange further negotiations. Just when thev could be arranged no one could say. Under the present company union agreement, the Chrysler contract ends immediately when a strike Is called. Reuther said his union now could demand a whole new con tract, Instead of only a new wage clause in the old contract, due to expire next August. For the past 17 days, contract talks went on continuously. The strike came scarcely two months after Chrysler began pro duction of new models. It cast a cloud over predictions that the auto industry would hit a new production peak this year. The strike affects operations on all four lines of Chrysler-built cars Chryr'er, De Soto, Dodge and Plymouth. Around Chrysler's 14 .Detroit plants, the scene was familiar. Soup kitchens were rolled out. Lines of marching workers car ried placards proclaiming, "We want nenslons, not Weckler's love letters." Since the war, . Detroit had seen a 1946 strike at General Motors, the 1948 Chrysler strike and a speed-up strike last year at Ford. Minimum Wage Upped By Changes In Labor Law (Continued from page One) tural workers, domestic servants, seamen, fishermen, and many retail and service employes. Principal provisions of the law, besides the 75-cent hourly mini mum, are: 1. Workers covered under the law must be paid time and one half for hours worked In addition to 40 a week. 2. Employment of child labor now is almost completely ban ned. In some few exceptions minors under 16 years of age may be employed, except in hazardous industries m wnicn none under 18 can be employed. 3. The wage-hour administra tor Is authorized, for the first time, to sue for back pay due workers. Previously, only the workers could sue. They can still do that, or have the government sue for them. There is a two year limit on such legal claims. The minimum wage provisions have been extended to airline and fish canning workers for the first time. They still are exempt from overtime provisions, however. Now exempt from the mini mum are workers employed by certain laundries and cleaning establishments, taxlcab compan ies, dally and weekly newspapers having less than 4,000 circulation, and logging and forestry opera tions employing 12 or less.

UP) The controlled Czechoslovakia press said today many Catholic priests are sign ing oaths of allegiance to the Communist government without any reservations. Priests have been Instructed by the Roman Catholic hlerachy to sign oaths of allegiance if necess ary .to stay out of jail, but to do so only with the reservation that such an oath "does not violate the laws of God and the church and the natural rights of man." The newspaper of the Czech Communist party, Rude Pravo, reasserted the most Catholic priests were "defying their bi shops and signing the oaths. Ca tholic sources said yesterday many of the priests who signed did so "with very great unwill ingness" and only after they had tried without success to add the reservation. The sources pre dicted the majority of 'good and faithful" priests would be in jail in the next few months. The oath is required of priests by the new church law under which the government look over administrative functions of the churches and placed clergymen In civil service categories. Marooned Family In Elk Valley Rescued (Continued from page One) continually filled with snow, and his hands became so numb from the cold, he said, that he could not keep the boots pulled up.

He did not at tempt to folow the road, but cut straight over ravines and ridges on the shortest route. After hearing of the family's plight, an attempt was made to open the road. The effort was temporarily discontinued in favor of dropping food by plane. This was unsuccessful, as the visibility was too poor to reach the ma rooned famly by air. Aid Response Prompt When the planes, operated by Deputy Sheriff Ira Byrd, and George Felt failed In their at tempt, an estimated 20 volunteers from the Camas Valley area went back7 to their work of opening the road. The sheriff's office sent out a plea for snowshoes and skis, and the response was extremely grati fying, said Sheriff Carter, More than enough were brought l. and other people called offering to iena tneir- equipment, irom places as far away as Sutherlln. Six men on snowshoes went on ahead of the road crew to reach the family. Work of the crew was hampered by a fresh fall of at least four inches of snow Tues day. The six men who snowshoed In Si miles ahead of the "'cat" and broke trail the last two miles without snowshoes so those at Elk valley could make the trip back were Miles Standley, Dale Wheelock, Leon Ashton, Standley Dancer, Bill McClellan and James Combs. Heavy Snow Battled In some places in the last two miles, according to Information from Mrs. Combs, the snow was 31 feet deep. On Dutchman moun tain, the snow averaged about six feet, but in some places it had drifted to a depth of about 10 feet. Men had feared that the "eat" would be unable to get through the drifts, but It went through without - too much trouble.
