Senator McCarthy's Charges
'Fraud, Hoax Demo Report
Reds-ln-Governement Claim
Superficial, G.O.P. Verdict
WASHINGTON. July It (API "A fraud and a hoax"
that's the label ilappad on Republican Senator McCarthy's
Comunistt-in-government charges by the Democratic majority
of a sanete investigating committee.
A report signed by all three Democrats on the comittee
Senators Tydings (Md.,) Creen (Rll and McMahon (Conn.)
asserts that:
McCarthy used "the totalitarian technique of the big 'lie"
in waging "perhaps the most nefarious campaign of half-truths
and untruths in the history of this
McCarthy retorted that the re
port of the Democrats is "gigrn
tic in its fraud and deep in !t
deceit." The Wisconsin seojior
added:
"It is a signal to the traitors,
Communists and fellow travelers
in our government that they need
have no fear of exposure from
this administration. . .
"The most loyal stooges of the
Kremlin could not have done a
better job of giving a clean bill of
health to Stalin's fifth column in
this country."
The Democrats' report, issued
last night, was generally regarded
at the capitol as one of the most
scathing condemnations of a sena
tor ever made by colleagues. It
accused McCarthy of having lied
repeatedly.
The majority said McCarthy fail
ed to prove any of his basic alle
gations, which were fired at scores
of individuals in attacks directed
at the State department. McCarthy
accused the department of harbor,
ing a lot of Communists, Red sym
pathizers, and people who were se
curity risks on other grounds.
Republican Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts got out a minority
report saying the inquiry into Mc
Carthy's charges "must be set
down as superficial and inconclu
sive." He said there remain "a
tangle of loose threads" and "loads
which were not followed up
Lodge also declared the tone of
the investigation, as set by the
Democrats, too frequently lack
ed impartiality," and the atmos
phere "too often was one of trying
to hang someone rather than to as
certain the truth." .
The other Republican on the com
mittee, Senator Hickenlooper of
Iowa, filed no report but said he
is in general accord with Lodge's
ideas, "particularly the emphasis
on the complete inadequacy of the
inquiry."

they reached a point where they

Under the cover of this barrage,

This Explorer expedition is the
highlight of the year's activities

The boys, all over 14 years old,
spent the last several days on the
river, practicing under the expert
guidance of Rollie Quam, local

Giovanini of Oakland, experienced
river man. Although some of the
youngsters have had limited expe

Trillion-Dollar
Plan Proposed To
End Communism
DETROIT, July 18 UP) -Wal-
ter Reuther proposed today that
the United States invest more than
a trillion dollars in a 100-year
tight to rid the world of Commu
nism. Reuther, president of the CIO
United Auto Workers union and
long-time foe of Communism, made
tne proposal to President Truman.
In a letter to the President the
union chieftan advocated a globu
lar "total peace offensive" under
America s leadership as a "com
pelling necessity for "Democra
tic survival.'
Reuther proposed a vast nine
point worldwide program under
United Nations sponsorship.
America's financial contribution
would be at the rate of $12,000,
000,000 a year.
The total final investment, after
100 years, would be $1,300,000,000
000 or, as Reuther said, the cost
of the last war to the U. S.
(One trillion dollars is a billion
dollard multiplied 1,000 times.)
Reuther's communication to Mr.
Truman was of a dramatic charac
ter. In his draft of a worldwide pr
gram he concluded with the state
ment: "We are at the place in world
history where we must recognize
that the best hope of saving free
dom and achieving a just and last
ing peach is in action action
so challenging, so vast in scope,
so practical in design and so sin
cere in purpose that it will fill
the moral vacuum in the world
with reborn hope and a renewed
spirit of cooperation among the
people of all nations."
Banks Lose Appeal From
Civil Contempt Verdict ,
WASHINGTON, July 18 UP)
Justice Burton of the supreme court
refused Monday to stay the civil
contempt conviction of Bank of
America and Transamerica, Inc.,
and the presidents of the two cor
porations. After listening to more than two
hours of legal arguments Justice
Burton said he did not find suffi
cient ground to justify him in over
riding .the Ninth circuit court of
Appeals.
On July 10 the circuit court, with
headquarters in San Francisco,
found the Bank of America and
Transamerica, along with the pre

Streets Set For July 31
The Roseburg city council last
night voted to acquire necessary
property to push Umpqua Avenue

den avenue, and passed an ordi
nance calling for bids on West Rose
burg sewers, provided that a satis
factory agreement can be worked
out with the school district for
eastments across school prop
erty-
Other important action was the
postponement of a hearing on rent
controls, because a legal notice
had not been published settmg the
hearing as required 'by law. An
ordinance was passed calling for
bids on South Kane street exten
sion work: Ben B. Irving was em
ployed as engineer for the muni
cipal airport improvements on an
eight percent fee basis. The coun
cil accepted a schedule of charges
for municipal airport services, and
referred to a special committee a
proposal, for a new fire station
and other fire department improve,
ments.
Special Meeting Set
The council set a special meet
ing for Monday night, July 31, for
a hearing on rent control, for the
opening of Kane street improve
ments plans, and for the proposed
renaming of Roseburg city streets.
The opening of West Roseburg sew
er bids will be Aug. T, if all ease
ments can be secured.
The council's decision to ac
quire property for the extension of
Umpqua avenue east through to
Boden avenue came upon a three
to-two voice vote of the seven coun-
cilmen present. Councilman Harri
son Winston made the motion
bringing to a head the contro
versial issue, which has bung fire
for several months.
Dr. J. M. Boyles, one of the prin

present and spoke favorably on the
projects. One of the ' holdouts

clared his willingness to grant an
easement if the council took steps
to push Umpqua avenue east

He said he felt very deeply on
the matter in the public interest
that deadend streets should be eli
minated where possible, and that
the project would cost less today

Principal In
Aiding Russia
The fourth American alleg-
atom spy ring was seized at
charged him with conspiracy to
secrets.
He was arraigned and held be
hind bars in lieu of $100,000 bail
for a federal court hearing on
July 31. His attorney insisted he
was innocent.
"Rosenberg is another important
link in the soviet espionage appar-
atus," FBI Director J. Edgar Hoo
ver said.
In the past two months the gov
ernment has arrested three other
Americans it says were implicat
ed in the spy ring headed by Dr.
Klaus Fuchs, the German - born
Communist sympathizer who work
ed his way to the top of Britain's
atomic program.
Fuchs confessed and now is
serving a long prison term in Eng
land. '
The three Americans seized as a
result of Fuch's disclosures were
Harry Gold, a Philadelphia 'bioche
mist: Alfred Dean Slack, a scien
tist, of Syracuse, N. Y., and David
Greenglass, a New York machi
nist and former U. S, army ser
geant. All were charged witn wartime
espionage a charge that can
mean the dealth penalty.
Hew Plot Operated
The FBI anouncement said the
American-born Rosenberg's part in
the ring was the recruiting of
Greenglass then stationed at
the atomic bomb laboratories at
Los Alamos; N. M. to wtfrk with
Gold. ,
Like a character in a fictional
spy drama, Rosenberg gave Green
glass an oddly cut top from a jellu
box to be matched with the other
half as a recognition signal with
Gold, the FBI said.
As a result. Greenglass turned
over bomb data to both Gold and
Rosenberg in 1945, the agency said.
"Rosenberg gave Greenglass spe
cific instructions as to the type of
information Russia desired," Hoo
ver declared.
At their first meeting in June,
1945, Hoover said, "Greenglass w
paid $500 by Gold, who obtained
it from his Soviet superior, Ana
toli A. Yakolev, Soviet vice con
sul in New Yoric City.
Hoover added that after Gold
was arrested last May, Rosenberg
warned Greenglass to flee the coun
try and gave him "substantial
funds" to do so.

Stalin's Price
For Peace In
Korea Spurned
U.S. Will Not Agree To
Entry Of Communist
China In United Nations
WASHINGTON, July 18 -OP-Secretary
of State Acheson was
believed ready to tell Prime Minis
ter Nehru today that the United
States ardently wants peace in
Asia but not at the price of bowing
to Communists aggression in Ko
rea. A carefully worded no-appease
ment reply to the Indian leader's
peace approach to the United
States and Russia was drafted for
dispatch to New Delhi.
The state department expected
to make it public after a copy is
handed also to madame Pandit,
Indian ambassador and Nehru's
sister.
Madame Pandit yesterday gave
Acheson a copy of a reply from
Soviet Prime Minister Stalin con
tending that the admission of Com
munist China into the UN is an
essential step toward ending the
Korean war. Nehru also called for
the seating of Communist China,
which has been recognized by In
dia, and for the return of Russia
to the security council.
In a second message to Stalin
today, the Indian Prime minister
called the Russian reply "encour
aging ' and said he was contact
ing "the other governments con
cerned."
United Nations Stand Pat
However, the United States and
most of the non-Communist mem
bers of the United Nations were
exoected to insist on their previ
ous condition that negotiation for
a" Korean settlement be preced
ed by a return of North Korean
forces to their own territory north
of the 38th parallel.
Advance indications were that
Acheson, with the sanction of Pre
sident Truman, would use the
U. S. exchange with the Indian
prime minister as a bid for the
backing of Asias millions for the
United States and the United Na
tions. In drafting the reply, Ache
son had the delicate problem of
avoiding any peril of alienating Ne
hru and India without compromis
ing the firm American "rock Bot
tom" terms for settlement of the
Korean crisis.
The Soviet union has boycotted
all U. N. meetings since January
because of the presence of Chin
ese nationalist delegates.

Clamp Down On
Dangerous Aliens
Given House O.K.
WASHINGTON. July 18 P)
With tooheavv house backine. a
bill to clamp down on dangerous
Aliens went to the Senate todav
mr expeciea eany approval.
The justice department asked for
it more than a year ago.
The House passed it vesterdav.
326 to 15, after hearing that sub
versive and criminal Aliens who
can't be deported or locked up
unaer present law are roaming
at targe arouna tne country.
The bill would allow the attor
ney general to lock up such Aliens
or to Keep them under close scru
tiny by requiring them to make
periodic personal reports. He could
detain them at any Jlace he choos
es, presumably at Kills island, un
til such time aa they are actually
deported.
Under existing law, an undesir
able Alien who is ordered deport
ed, usually after serving a pri
son sentence for commiting a fe
lony, must be sent back home
within six months after the war
rant of deportation is issued. If
he isn't deported by then, he must
do released on small bona or on
his personal recognizance.
Rep. Keating (H-NY) told the
House that more than 3,000 unde
sirable Aliens are roaming around
the country now because the gov
ernment is powerless to lock them
up or deport them. In many cases
he said, the country from which
they came won't take them back.
Rep. Dondero (R-Mich) called the
roaming aliens "a lost battalion of
subversives." Many of them, he
said, don't try to get permits to
go home. Dondero said he could
understand why some foreign na
tions won't take tho Aliens back,
because the Alien, if a subversive,
can do more good for his native
land if he remains at large in
the United States.

Stumps Still Live After

How long will a stump live?
Two Douglas fir stumps from a

The stumps have calloused over
