U.S. district Attorney Henry Hess and Clackamas county dis trict Attorney Leonard I. Lindas said today the Long would go on trial here on the federal charges of bank robbery and assault. The assault stems from the wounding of one of the FBI agents who cap tured Long just outside the First National bank's southeast branch Thursday. The officials said that after that trial, Long would be tried for first degree murder in a Clacka mas county court. That charge is based on the slaying of Walter Rucker, a Portland carpenter found dead in the woods near Ore gon City. It was Rucker's truck that was used in the hank holdup. fit Your Car NEEDS Seat Covers! it you've a new car, with new upholstery, you'll want to keep it that way.

Senators, Seeking Reelection, Agree On Issues To Emphasize In Campaign WASHINGTON W Republican senatorial candidates appeared agreed their best campaign issues involve alleged Communists in government, the Brannan farm plan, deficit spending and proposed excise tax cuts. These four emerged as major talking points in a survey made by the GOP senatorial campaign committee and national chairman Guy G. Gabrielson. The survey covered primary election results in Iowa, South Dakota and California. Senator Millikin of Colorado, who heads the conference of all GOP senators, told a reporter he will dwell on those points in his own campaign for re-election. He said other Republicans whose seats are at stake this year generally are of the same mind. Millikin's handling of the explo sive Communists-in-government is sue also may become something of a pattern for Republicans who aren't closely identified with the invstigation of charges made by Senator McCarthy (R-Wis). In campaign speeches, Millikin has said that while McCarthy may not always have been as meticulous as possible in making his charges. ; he, Millikin, is convinced the Wis consin senator is "trying to clean up an unwholesome mess in Wash ington and is being obstructed in doing it." "Laxity" Charge Made However, three of the 33 Repub lican senators whose seats are at stake this year signed the "declar ation of conscience" prepared by Senator Margaret Chase hmitn (K Me). This declaration said Demo crats were guilty of laxity toward Communist leaks but at the same time said "certain elements" of the Republican party had contrib uted recklessly to national contu sion and fear. The three, senators Aiken of Ver mont, Tobey of New Hampshire and Morse of Oregon, could be ex pected to be somewhat more criti cal of McCarthy's methods. On the other hand, three Renub lican candidates senators Cape hart of Indiana, Young of North Dakota and Dworshak of Idaho oined 18 other GOP members in demanding a judiciary committee investigation into the Justice de partment's handling of the Amor- asia case. Spending Cut Demanded In his campaign, Hickenlonper said ne lound a strong current ol opposition to deficit spending, i trend Millikin reported was run ning in Colorado. Millikin added that almost every Republican senator has reported that the people back home want a cut in excise levies on such things as jewelry, luggage, transportation and other items. Members said Rep- Case told the group he found the people of South Dakota of the general opinion that too much stress is being laid in Washington on military prepared ness in the cold war with Russia and not enough efforts are beine made to reach some peace agree ment. Scnalor Gurney (R SD), who lost blamed his defeat largely on his Red Influence In Japanese Labor Unions Weakening GENEVA '.Pi The top U.S. la-1 organized Communist minorities in bor official in Japan says thatf"1' unions sometimes involved Communist influence is waning in ; their organizations in "other than Japanese unions. Robert T. Amis, U.S. military government director of labor in Japan, told the 33rd international labor conference that democratic elements in Japan's unions now are strong enough to resist Red at tempts to use organized labor to "gain political power and disrupt economic recovery." Although the mass of Japanese workers never had been Commu nist sympathizers. Amis said, well- sionally precipitated tense situa tions." But now, he asserted, democratic elements have achieved "a suffi cient majority to maintain control of their unions." Labor's gains and "the direction which the labor movement is tak ing, indicate," Amis declared, "that Japanese labor henceforth will go forward and will be able to defend itself from either totalitar ian or reactionary pressures."
