Ex-Attorney General Denies Bribe Acceptance In Libel Suit Against Drew Pearson WASHINGTON AP Fred N. Howser, former Cali fornia attorney general, faces cross-examination today in his $350,000 libel suit against columnist Drew Pearson. Howser told a federal district court jury that Pearson made a "false" statement about him in a radio broadcast Sept. 12, 1948. The broadcast was carried by stations in 10 western states, Pearsnn said at that time he had an affidavit that Howser accepted a $1,200 bribe from a "well known Long Beach gambler" in Septem ber. 1946. Howser in 1946 was district at torney of Los Angeles county, which includes Long Beach, and a candidate for attorney general. Howscr's attorneys placed in ev idence an affidavit which they said was signed by James T. Mulloy and identified as the document re ferred to by Pearson. The affidavit stated that Mulloy rtceived from Joe Irvine, an ad mitted Long Beach bookmaker, an envelope containing 12 $100 bills; that he gave it to Howser as in structed by Irvine, and that How ser put it in his pocket. Howser. the first witness at the , trial, said he did not know Mulloy j or Irvine, and never saw either one. He said he never received any money from eiLicr of the men. Howser broke into tears as he i About the time of Cook's arrest, grim-faced officers in his home town of Joplin found the bodies of all five of the Carl Mosser family. Cook is charged with mur dering them. The mysterious dis appearance of the Mossers two weeks ago prompted an extensive search in Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. A coroner's autopsy showed all had been shot to death. Mosser, 33; his wife Thelma, 29, and son Ronald Dean, seven, apparently had been bound and gagged first. Two smaller children, Cary Carl, five, and Pamela Sue, three, were shot through the heart at close range. Cook, 24-year-old ex convict brought here after his capture 600 miles south of the border in Santa Rosalia, halfway down the Lower California peninsula, was arraigned before a U. S. commis sioner on three federal charges, principally with kidnaping the Mossers with intent to do bodily harm. His bearing was set for Jan 29. The other charges are flight to avoid prosecution on a charge of murdering Robert E. Dewey, 33, Seattle salesman, near Blythe Jan. 6, and flight to avoid prose cution on Oklahoma robbery charges. Bloody Trail Ends Returned to jail without bail. Cook was found to have dysentery and a fever of 101. The capture ended the bloody trail which started Jan. 3 with the discovery of the blood-soaked Mos ser car abandoned near Tulsa, Okla. After an Oklahoma robbery charged to Cook, sheriff's deputy Hdrner Waldrip was kidnaped at Blythe Jan. 6. Waldrip identified Cook as a for mer Blythe restaurant dishwasher and said he boasted of killing seven persons, leaving two in a snow drift in Oklahoma. Later on Jan. 6 Dewey's body was found in Waldrip's car. The Mossers' bodies were found in an old mine shaft just two blocks from a house where Cook once liveU in Joplin. Police acted on the tip of a man who said Cook had or.ee threatened to throw liim in the shaft. Shower Of Currency Falls On Busy Street MEMPHIS.' Tenn. lP) A shower of $10 and $20 bills fell at the busy downtown Madison and Second street corner here. Nobody could tell where the money was coming from. Every body scrambled for it. But B. G. Minshew, 18. of Kos ciusko, Miss., had an explanation. "I dropped $132 near the cor ner of Madison and Second," he said. "I guess the wind whipping around those buildings blew the bills up into the air and then let them drift down. "I feel right sick about it." GROCERS URGE HALT DALLAS. Tex.

They said through a spokesman that wholesale food costs have passed retail prices on some items. told the jury he was concerned, as soon as he heard of the broadcast, about the effect it would have on his wife and 12-year-old boy. His wife, lie said, "couldn't eat, couldn't slcepand lost weight." "I didn't want my boy to think of his dad as a crook," e added. William P. Rogers, attorney for Pearson, said the columnist and his attorneys who took Mulloy's af fidavit in the summer of 1946 be lieved it to be true. Rogers told the jury that Pear son broadcast it in September of that year "in the public interest" after subsequent events "fit in" with the information supplied by Mulloy. Among the subsequent events, he said, was a Brand iur inves. ligation in Mendocino county. Cal., involving two of Howser's former insistent, concerning rharg:. of demanding "protection money" from slot machine operators. t ii i Established 1873 ROSEBURGORECON TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1951 1 i Salary Council Votes Ten Percent Living Cost Masonic Lodge Applies For Purchase Of Tract To Enlarge Cemetery City employes were granted a 10 percent cost of living salary increase by the city council last night. An ordinance granting the authorization was passed with an emergency clause. The increase, for all employes', including munic ipal judge, is effective Feb. 1 un til the end of the fiscal year, June 30. A special committee, headed by Mayor Albert G., Flegel, named to study the matter, recommended the action. The committee reported funds were available without up setting the city's budget program, and that the money could be used legally. The council also appropriated $500 from the emergency fund to defray expenses of the Roseburg office of civilian defense. The of fice carries no salary, but some office and travel expense will be required, the council pointed out. Expenditures will be under the city manager's supervision. The civilian defense office has been set up in the city council chambers. The room has been oc cupied by the secretary of state's license examiner weekdays, but the council has asked that it be vacated. . Masons Sack Land Leroy Hiatt and A. A. Wilder, representing the board of trustees of the Masonic cemetery, ap peared requesting they be per muted to purchase city-owned property adjoining the cemetery in the vicinity of the Veterans hospital. The property, consisting of about 2.55 acres, is desired by the cemetery trustees for future expansion. Hiatt pointed out that the ceme tery is a non-profit organization. The only money which the board receives above expenses goes into a fund for perpetual care, as re quired by state law. Mayor Flegel said the council has had it in mind, for some time to reserve the land for the ceme tery, but he was not certain as to the legal procedure for the sale nor how to determine the vajue. The matter was deferred until City Attorney Paul Geddes, now with the legislature in Salem, could give a legal opinion.

The bill would require tnal any convict about to be pardoned or paroled should have his name, crime, sentence, and amount of time served published in news papers for three consecutive days before the pardon or parole is granted. The policy now is to keep such names secret except for more prominent convicts. The state parole board said it adopted the present policy in or der to give convicts a better chance when they are released. Every employer in Oregon would be required to pay women the same wage scale as men under a bill introduced by Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney, Portland Democrat. A bill to make Columbus day a legal holiday again was intro duced by Sen. Phil Brady, Port land Democrat. The 1949 legislature eliminated that day from the list of holidays.

Deficit Of $58 Million Now Legislature's Job By PAUL W. HARVKY JR. x SALEM AP Oregon's legislators got the sad news today that the budget for the two years beginning next July 1 is $58,000,000 in the red. That means they must find about that amount of money in new taxes. " This report was given to the legislature by a special subcommittee of the joint ways and means committee. The $58,000,000 deficit figure is in sharp contrast to the $18,000,000 deficit figure contained in Governor Douglas Texas-To-London Flight Achieved By New Bombers LONDON (API The first group of America's big gest bombers the 10-enqine B-?6 ever to fly to Europe landed at Lakenheath airport today after a mysterious flight from Texas The planes are capable of carrying the atom bomb more than 10,000 miles. While the planes and crews are scheduled to return to Texas in a few days, there have been persistent rumors that B-36't would be station ed in England because of the worsening world situation, ' The B-3& has a range of "over 10,000 miles and a speed of over 435 mph. It is armed with 26 twenty mm. cannons and has carried a to tal of 84,000 pounds of bombs, the heaviest load of bombs ever carried by one airplane.

Busenbark, who held the chair manship prior to leaving office Jan. 1. Wiley has been a member of the commission for a number of years. As the county judge is automat ically a member of the welfare commission, Judge Carl C. Hill fills the vacancy left by the retire ment of Judge Busenbark. AT 101: 'DON'T WORRY' PORTLAND P) William E.

Forest Service, Mill Firms Unite In Test Of Cull Logs For Low Grade Of Plywood Material salvaged from cull logs is being made the.basis of an interesting experiment, Bob Aufderheide, supervisor of the Umpqua National forest reports. The experiment is being conducted jointly by the Ump qua National forest, Bohemia Lumber company, Pacific Northwest Experiment station, and the Junction City Ply wood company. The latter company is owned and operated by the Jones brothers of Lebanon, who are now building a plywood plant at Winchester, north of Roseburg. The study, says Aufderheide, is to determine the amount of usable material that can be con verted into low grade plywood. Researchers have selected 385 peeler logs from areas previously cut over in the Bohemia district of the Umpqua forest. All of the logs were rejected as unmerchant able under ordinary standards of lumber and plywood manufacture, Aufderheide explained. The defec tive logs were transported to the Bohemia Lumber company's ve neer plant, located accent lo the northern portion of the Umpqua forest. Here the logs were photo graphed and diagrammed by the researchers. They are to be peeled and a record made of the various grades of merchantable veneer oh tained. From the comparison it will be possible to determine ac lal amounts and percentages of illf( on the local operation, Aufder alvace material from various JiH ,n,,ri. type.Ojf Oil logs. It is believed that from this study a relatively new field in veneer manufacture will be developed says tne torest supervisor. All in. Jleivay s budget. It would be impossible to come anywhere near balancing the bud-' get by cutting expenses. So legislators realize that the money must come from added taxes. Tax recommendations beforn the legislature include the governor's recommendation that the federal income tax deduction be eliminated from state income tax returns, a 2 percent sales tax, a 2 percent tax on business 'profits, a 3 cent a package cigaret tax, a property tax on motor vehicles, and a state property tax. At least two of these taxes prob ably will be passed. Referendum Thraat Poised But even passage by the legis lature of enough taxes to balance the budget wouldn't assure that the budget would be balanced. The reason is that any .legislative tax bill is subject to referendum attack by the people. For instance, the people have used the referen dum five times to defeat legislative sales tax bills. . Oregon is the only .state in which the legislature can't pass a tax bill without having the people beat it by referendum. Death For Sabotage Asked Sabotage and purposely approv ing aeiective war materials in war plants would be punished by death undei a bill prepared for introduc tion unlay by Sen. Frank H. Hilton, Portland. Hilton's bill also would make at tempted sabotage punishable by 20 years in prison.

"Finding suitablcAise for the ma terial is of great economic im portance because it will augment the fast dwindling supply of peeler material while creating new em ployment and jobs," Aufderheide said. The veneer cut by the Bohemia Lumber company is being sent to the Junction City Plywood com pany for complete manufacture. The Winchester plant, now being built by the Jones brothers, own ers in the Junction City plant, will be constructed to operate on the same kind of salvage material be ing used in the Bohemia experi ment, and the studies n o w in i progress will have a direct bear heide reports, The forest supervisor and his timber management assistant.

Byrd; Coalition Raps "Fair Deal" Phases' WASHINGTON (,W Senator Byrd proposed today that Congress carve $7,000,000,000 out of Presi dent Turman's huge new budget and raise taxes by $9,500,000,000 in stead of the $16,000,000,000 the Pres ident suggested. The Virginia democrat, an out spoken foe of what he calls extrav agant administration spending policies, said that plan would not deny a dollar needed for defense and produce a balanced budget wen , under the $71,594,000,000 the Presi- dent asked. '; Meanwhile, crying "socialism," the potent coalition of Republicans nd Southern Democrats in Lon- gress made ready to war on a flock of "Fair Deal" measures Ihe President put into his "national sur vival" budget,, n'9 estimates of gov ernment spending and revenues in the fiscal year starting July 1. Top Republicans assailed tne budget as a "spendingas-usual" plan for "the same old, tired So cialist program." They promiseu to cracK down generally on non-defense spending. That is a pledge which Congress members of both parties normally voice every January, but it is not always fulfilled. Mr. Truman has presented five budgets to Congress, other than the one submitted yesterday. Twice ac tual mending has been less than he proposed. Twice it has exceeded his estimates. Prospects are that the current year's spending, spurred by the Korean war, will ex ceed the budget by more man , 000,000,000. "Irresponsible" 3udgat Ending a short-lived surface rec onciliation following Mr. Truman's "Dear Harry" letter to Byrd, the Virginia senator declared in a statement: "In my experience of 18 years, considering the perils that confront our nation, this (budget) message represents the very height of ir responsibility. ... the President renews his advocacy of the social istic measures known as the Fair Deal." Actually, Byrd saill, Mr. Truman proposed lo increase non-defense spending to the highest level in history. The President's suggestion for a tax increase hig enough to cover an anticipated $16,4.r6,000,000 def icit in the 1952 fiscal year found few, if any, members of Congress with definite ideas on how the money can be raised. It would mean an overall tax increase of about 30 percent, and the President saill he would like Congress to make the increases retroactive to last Jan. 1. He will submit detailed plans in a separate message shortly. Generally, the lawmakers voiced sympathy with the idea of putting defense spending on a pay-as-you-go basis, but many cried out against budget message calls for such "Fair Deal" measures as FEPC, federal medical insurance and a major part of the Brannan farm subsidy plan. Politics Close Mouths Of Soldiers, "Ike" Says LONDON UP) General "Ike' Eisenhower declared today that so long as Japan and Germany re mained in the realm of polities "soldiers are obliged to keep their mouths shut." The statement was made to a news conference In reply to a ques tion as he was concluding the last part of his stay in IMidnn and preparing to leave for Lisbsn, con tinuing his survey tour of the At lantic pact nations whose inter national army he now commands. There was ne reference either in questions or comment about the repeated British complaint that an other general, Douglas MacAr thur, often spoke out wheC the British wished he might remain quiet. The news conference at which Eisenhower spoke was the first on his tour in vrh he had agreed to answer questions. In his brief talk beforehand he expressed con fidence, as he had before, in the capacity of the free western world to defend itself.

Told To Offer Its Program Opposition To Proposed Drafting Of 18-Year Ago Youths Getting Harder WASHINGTON (JP -Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex) scolded Defense department officials today for delay in presenting a legis lative aratt ot their proposal for universal military service and training, including a draft of 18 year olds. If the Defense department wants legislation it is high time that they come in and tell us just what they want," Johnson told Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg, assist ant secretary of Defense. Johnson is chairman of a sen ate preparedness subcommittee which for a week has been hear in? department jfficials talk about their program. When the hearings began, the senators were promised a draft of proposed legislation within a few days but have not yet received anything setting out the plan in black and white. Much of the testimony has been in the nature of argument for draft ing 18-year olds a proposition which is running Into hardening congressional opposition. At the clone of Monday's session, Johnson told Mrs. Rosenburg he thought Congress would want as surance that any 18-year olda drafted would not be sent over seas until they were 19. "You might as well write it into your bill now and get credit for it," Johnson, said. At the White House, Presidential Secretary Joseph Short told re porters President Truman would have a statement on manpower policy soon, but did not indicate whether that meant a matter of days or longer. Truman Order Explained McanwT.ile, President Truman made it possible for men 18 through 25 to volunteer for a 21. month hitch in the army. The reg ular army enlistment period i a three years or more. Col. Irving Hart, public informa tion officer for selective service headquarters, said an order from the President Monday "merely provides machinery for youths to get into the army ror 21 months by vclunteering instead of waiting foi their draft call." Volunteers for the short serv ice term may apply at their local selective service boards. Hart said all 21-month volunteers would go to the army. The limit on draftee service is now 21 months. However, another feature of the proposed new draft law be fore the senate preparedness com- . mittee is extension of service to 27 months. Other Manpower Developments: 1. Mrs. Rosenberg told the sen ate subcommittee the armed forces may soon revert to World War two practice and accept lor l'mited service some men who can not pass physical or mental tects. She did not elaborate. 2. The Defense department dis closed it will ask Congress to ap prove "hazard pay" for soldiers and marines in Korea. This would be similar to extra pay for dan gerous duty given submarine and air personnel. 3. Secretary Marshall said tha (Continued on page Two) Sanitary District Extension Plan To Be Discussed The possibility of annexing the area west of the city limits a'ong Melrose road and west of the pres ent North Roseburg Sanitary dis trict to the latter district will be discussed tonight in the circuit court room of the courthouse at 7.30 by interested citizens and ad visers. The area, as defined by county sanitarian Laverne Miller, would extend as far west as the home of Albert Micelli on Melrose road and west of the North Roseburg district to Hucrest, including Kea sey and Calkins roads, to the river. Among the men present to help explain the situation, besides Mil ler, will be Claude Baker, county senior sanitarian; Ted Gerow of the slate sanitary authority; C. V.
