Crackdown On
Speculation In
Coffee Is Asked
WASHINGTON VP) A senate
committee has asked Justice de
partment crackdown on specula
tive trading in coffee. "
The request was made by the
agriculture subcommittee, headed
by Senator Gillette (D-Iowa), which
has been investigating the sharp
rise in coffee prices in recent
months.
The group recommended that the
attorney general and his anti-trust
attorneys take these actions:
1. Seek "injunctive relief"
against futures contracts now used
for speculative trading in coffee on
the New York coffee and sugar
exchange unless these contracts
are promptly revised.
2. Bring a "civil suit under the
anti-trust laws" unless coffee
stocks held in this country by Co
lombian and other foreign coffee
interests are immediately disposed
of in channels of trade.
3. "That the attorney general of
the United States investigate the
details of the purchase of coffee by
Mr. George V. Robbins, Maxwell
House division, General Foods cor
poration, from the national coffee
department of Brazil in the year
1948 to determine if any federal
laws have been violated."
4. That the Justice department
have a representative present "at
all future meetings of the special
commission on coffee of the Inter
American Economic and Social
council, or .any similar groups that
meet here or in which the United
States participates."

WASHINGTON UP Senate crime investigators are compiling a
master file of every known and suspected big-time operator in the
underworld of crime, gambling and narcotics traffic.
Chairman Kefauver said a special Senate committee is building up
a cross-index file which gradually is piecing together a picture of
interlocking crime operations.

to $353,734, according "to figures
released yesterday by the Port
land Branch of the Federal Re
serve Bank to E. C. Sammons,
state chairman of the Savings
Bonds division of the Treasury.
This brings the state up to 23
percent of its assigned quota of
$5,892,000 for the drive which ends
July 4.
Reports from Washington indi
cate Oregon was 15th in the nation
for the week ending May 27, on
the basis of sales toward quota.
These figures also showed that at
that time Oregon led the North
west and Pacific Coast,
Sales figures for the week indi
cate that Gilliam county sold 58
percent of its assigned quota and
became the first county in the
state to go over the top. Purchases
by the people of uilliam county
to date total 126 percent of their
quota. Jackson county citizens also
had a whopping big sales week
with 18 percent of their quota
purchased in seven days.
According to H. O. Pargeter
county chairman, E. Bond sales
in this county last week were $581.
Total sales in the county to date
are $22,388 or .13 percent of the
assigned quota of $160,500. The

Bell unit remains high every

Day-Camp Activity Will
Be Tried Again This Year
All boys interested in taking part
in the activity which was called
"Day-Camp" last year are urged
to attend a meeting next Tuesday
at 10 a.m. in the "Y" room in the
armory, according to Harold Hoyt,
"Y" activity program member.
Hoyt added that if enough In
terest is shown the program will
be continued this year and many
new activities will be added. At
the meeting Tuesday a new name
will be selected for the program
and the boy suggesting the name
that is chosen will get a prize.
It is believed to be the first list
of this kind ever charted by a gov
ernment group.
This report came with a disclo
sure from FBI Chief J. Edgar
Hoover tnat national crime is on
the increase particularly among
youths.
The Senate Appropriations com
mittee released confidential testi
mony in which Hoover said there
has been a large increase in local.
and national crime.
The FBI chief praised local law
enforcement agencies for their co
operation and said they were doing
a "very good job" considering the
handicaps under Which they operate.
But he said: "Our crime picture
today reflects a much more serious
problem than during the pre-war
years." He added that youths un-
aer zi are responsiDie tor 43. per
cent of all auto thefts, 38.5 percent
of all burglaries, 30.4 percent of
the rapes and a fourth of all rob
beries and larcenies. These figures
were based on the first nine
months of 1949.
The names on the Senate com
mittees master list have come
from the U.S. Narcotics bureau, an
inquiry into big-time gambling in
norma, irom city ana state crime
commissions, and other sources.
Through this system, the sena
tors are abie to cross-check the
records of the racketeers and the
hoodlums. These records will be
used by investigators in their ef
forts to trace the underworld meth
ods of operation.
Senate Tightens Law
The committee's drive against a
nation-wide drug ring got an added
boost from the Senate, which pass
ed a bill aimed at tightening up the
laws on seizure of contraband.
The new measure, now before
the House, would give the govern
ment Droaa new powers to seize
ships, boats, automobiles or air
planes used, by a narcotics ring.
This would not mean, of course.
that the government would seize an
ocean liner on which someone was
smuggling drugs. A Senate report
said tne ngnts of innocent persons
will be protected where they own
a financial interest in a vessel, au
tomobile or plane being used for
the illegal transportation of narcotics.
In cases where the government
proves its case, the vessel, auto
or plane would be forfeited to the
government.

Heath innocently asked a bystand

about. His wife, who was looking
on horror-stricken as rescuers
started to dig in some debris,
heard his voice, turned around and
fainted.
The rescuers put down their

Heath had been believed buried

was building at nearby Oneida. It
turned out he had gone to visit a
neighbor a few minutes before the
