2 The) Newe-Revlew, teieburf Lady Godiva Net For Book-Ends COVENTRY, Eng., I.V) Make lovely Lady Godiva into a et of nude book-ends? Not even to earn dollari. So says sculptor Sir William Reid Dick and that seema to be final. An American novelty firm made the propoaal to the Coventry city council. It offered to buy the right to reproduce in miniature the life sized Godiva and horse executed by Sir William for W. H. Bassctt Green, a retired builder, who gave it to the city lait year. The council was divided. Some said the miniatures would impair the value of the pretty lady, clad only in her flowing tresses, as lure for U. S. tourists in England. The others viewed it simply as an easy way for Britain to make a buck and ease the dollar gap. Sir William had the last word. He told newsmen: T hold the copyright. I don't agree with the idea of cheap re plicas and I won't have it." Name of the U. S. firm was not disclosed.

Call 695-R-2 , Or. Mob., Mar. , 150 Ousrtrt, Tortures Forcing U. S. To Quit East Europt (Continued from page One) ing by Bulgarian aecurity militia. He finally broke and wrote out a detailed confession of crimes which both he and the State department declared never existed. The department linked Shipkov's story with the cases of Cardinal Mindsienty and Robert A. Vogeler in Hungary. It described the pres sure put cn the Bulgarian as an "apparently hypnotic process," and said it explama how Mindsienty, Vogeler and hundreds of other Red police victims may have been brok en. Tor some time before his arrest, Shipkov had been under great ten sion. One of his close associates, Ivan Secoulov, another U.S. lega tion employee, had been arrested by police shortly before and had died after three days in jail. Ship kov himself was resigned to im prisonment because be wss a non Communist openly employed by the American legation. In his 32-hour ordeal, his story related, he was first questioned at length by seven police who display ed an unchangeable conviction that he was a traitor and spy. The story continued: Shipkov was slapped and roughed up and forced to aland against a wall until he fainted. Finally, after agreeing that he waa guilty of the crimes alleged, he was shocked to discover that more was expected of him. First, he had to write a lengthy confession involving many of his innocent friends and associates: second, he had to agree to become a policy spy in the legation in or der to win release. Thus, after months of terror, his arreat when finally it occurred sim ply ushered in a new period of in crimination involving not only Ship kov but also most of those whom he loved. He was forced, for ex ample, to make what he later call ed alanderous admissions concern ing his wife Yoli and their rela tionship. In aumming up the significance of his statement, the State depart ment said that "for the first time a victim of this apparently hyp notic process nas nad tne spiritual fortitude and courage painfully to piece together the shattered pieces of his moral character and to re veal in detail how a man of integ rity can be completely broken and forced to describe in his own words a fantastic story of imaginary plans of espionsge end treason." Alter nis relesse, Shipkov hid in the legation from August until Jan uarya refugee in his own land. He finally was caught when he fled from this hiding place to seek a more secure hsven. On February 21, Sofia announced he had been indicted as the leader of a net of spies working for the Americans. The police version of the whole plot had been woven into Shipkov's own "confession" laat August. LEIPZIG, Germany, March (JP Russia will keep an occupation army in east Germany aa long as Allied forces are on German soil, a member of the German Commun ist Politburo said today. This high east German source de nied there was any basis for the frequent rumor that Soviet troops miitht be withdrawn later this year. He also denied that the Soviet sponsored esst German government exp'ts to obtain a separate peace treaty from Russia unless the Al lies first conclude such a pact with the Bonn republic. U.

Persons ordered to register by a three-man subversive control board could appeal to the courts. Their names would be withheld, until court decisions, if they denied they were Communists. The Communist issue will come directly before Senators Wednes day when Senator McCarthy (R Wis) lays information before a Senate foreign relations subcom mittee about Communists he says sre now, or have been, employed in the State department. Some of McCarthy's Republican colleagues have been turning over additional information to him; the top members are all set to demand that President Truman open State department loyalty files to the com mittee. is! A BETTER BLOCK Expanded SNsle 16,500 755 3.000,000 Governor McKay Files Candidacy For Reelection SAI.EM, March ( OPt Gov. Douglas McKay formally announ ced his candidacy for reelection Saturday. The Republican governor, elect ed to fill the unexpired term of the late Earl Snell, cited "sound financing' aa the chief problem ahead for Oregon. "The budget is bslsnced without an increase of atate income o r property taxes," said McKay in his announcement. "The long de layed building programs for state institutions snd. higher educstion are well underway. A long range highway program has been adopt ed and started on a pay-as-you-go bssis. "The many interests concerned with conservation and development of natural resources have been brought together for the develop ment of a joint and comprehensive program. Proposals for reorganiza tion for state government to achieve economy and better public service are being developed for present ation to the 1951 legislature. "The problems for the next four years will be among the most difficult in the history of the state. Principal of these is sound finan cing. It must now have the focus of our attention and effort. "I again invite support and aid of the earnest and sincere citizens of the state who wish a business like and practical approach to the problems of the next four yesrs." Now Contract Snds Minors Back To Pits (Continued from page One) soft coal diggers in the four-week strike, although their contract also hsd expired last June 30. The bituminous contract runs un til June 30, 1952. But it may be canceled by either party on or after April 1, 1951, upon 30 days' notice. It provides for: A $14.75 daily wage, an increase of 70 cents. Lewis hsd asked 90 cents. A Jo-cent levy on each ton of coal to finance the UMW welfare fund. The pension payment formerly was 20 cents. Lewis had asked 35 cents. The additional 10 cents a ton in welfare benefits sdds up to 70 cents a day for each miner on the basis of an average production of aeven tons a day per man. A union shop, subject to court ruling on Its legality. An end to the "able and willing to work" clause under which min ers have stopped work with impunity. A limit of five days a year on the miners "memorial," or mourn ing, periods. Most operators here predicted the aoft coal contract would push up Ihe cost of producing a ton by 25 to 35 cents. Some said the public may pay as much as 50 cents a ton more, if operators are to recoup their losses of the last eight months. "If we Droduce 600.000.000 tons of cost this year, the contract will cost the country S3O0.000.0O0." fore cast Joseph E. Moody, chief nego tiator for the Southern Coal Pro ducers association. UMW men were frankly exultant. Said one: "We won everything ex cept what the courts said we couldn t have. In the latter category were the union shop, with arrangement for requiring all workers to be union ists is msne suDiect to a case now pending before the supreme court; the "able and willing" clause: un limited "memorial periods;" and the granting of pensions to UMW members only. All four have been held to he probable violations of the Taft Hartley act, pending a hearing by the National Labor Relations board. Lewis wss blocked by court order from any strike or slowdown to bring about a renewal of those four clauses. The settlement ended any chance for passage of the mine seizure bill sent to Congress on Friday by the president. The White House served notice, however, that Mr. Truman still wsnts a commission created to study the fading, strife-ridden in dustry snd recommend a legisla tive cure, ivey lawmakers on Capitol Hilt have deferred action on the necessary legislation. UWL Crazed Youth Slays ' 4 Parsons, Wounds 3 t Continued from page One) from hiding, struck from behind and piled up his bloody toll. Other people fled, streaming. "It seemed like he waa using the knife so fast nobody wanted to try to stop him," one witness said. Two policemen in a patrol car finally caught up with the killer. Jonea lunged at them with his bloody knife, but they beat it out of bis hand and alugged him to the sidewalk with gun butts. Then they tied him up with rope and carried him off in their car. Strong as a bull, though short and alim. he burst into such vio lence at Brooklyn police headquar ters that it took aix policemen to lash bim to a chair. He just stared dully straight ahead, wouldn't talk, and wouldn't acknowledge hia weeping mother who was brought in. He wss put in a straitjacket and taken to a hospital. Police booked him on homicide charges. Sleyinf Orgy fold A few minutes after Jones had wounded bis first victim, Joseoh Bondolato, 25, police were on his trail. He came upon two young fathers, each with a baby car riage and each bragging about the child inside. One was James Culhane, 28, a shoe salesman, and the other was Kenneth Kennedy, 23, a Mohawk Indian and construction worker. Shouting "Do you know me?" Jones plunged the bloody knife into Kennedy's chest. The knife stuck. As Kennedy tried to stagger away, Jonea followed and yanked the knife out of his chest. Kennedy's five-month-old daugh ter was not molested. The father waa in critical condi tion in a hospital today. Jonea, rearmed, returned to the spot where he had found tie two fathera. But Culhane already was on the run, pushing his 15-month-old son. Culhane heard a familiar sound behind him "Do you know me?" but he made it to his own house before Jones got within knife range. Four men were in a social club on the first floor, and Culhane called to them: "There's a mad man out here." But the madman had lost inter est in Culhane by this time, and took a new course on his bloody route. He ripped Annilio Durso, 61, who died early today. A few feet farther on. the slay er Killed 46 - year - old Frank at. George on the spot by plunging the kinfe into him time snd again. A block away, Jones met a friend, James Yearns. 20. a Ne gro, and slashed him on the wrist as he wayed. Doubling back on his route, Jones plunged his knife into John Gor don, 51, killing him, and wounded Jerome Sullican, 51, so badly he died in a few minutes. Weyerhaeuser.'

Socialization Shtrvtd ly British Laboritot (Continued from page One) none the less emerged with a posi tion of strength because of the pre carious edge of the Laborites over Winston Churchill's resurgent Con servatives. The Labor party's election pro gram had promised to nationalise the cement, water supply, sugar and food processing industries. Harmeny Meier Aim The main aim of the Laborites now is to steer the government through its budgetary problems in Use next few months, and for this reason the king's speech reflected a desire to avoid controversy in the immediate future. The legisla tive program -laid before the Com mons was a sketchy one, touching only upon such legislaton as might stir little conflict. In fact, the king laid most stress on such non-controversial mate rial aa the hope for achievement of a solution to the problem of atomic energy control. Failure to make any reference whatever to nationalization, a pro gram close to the heart of the La bor party, seemed to, reflect the party's desire to avoid controver sial issues in the immediate future. But harmony will not be sought at the expense of the national well being, the king said. The king paid tribute to the "gen erous help" given Britain by the United States, Canada and other British commonwealth nations. He also praised the "sustained endeav or" of the British people in in creasing industrial and agricultural production. The British, the kind ssid. "will play their due part in collaboration. witn other powers in strengthening the common means of defense."
