Hoover Defends Commission's Job On Reorganization WASHINGTON M Herbert Hoover says President Eisenhower already is actimz to out into effect the administrative changes recom- mcnoen Dy ine commission no headed The former President accused Democrats of "an infamous smear" in charging that his com mission on governmental reorgan ization was partisan, that its task forces were "stacked," and that the administration is trying to de tach itself from the commission's recommendations. The Democratic stalemcnls ap peared Monday in the monthly Democratic Digest, published by Ihe Democratic National Commit tee. Hoover, replying in a statement released here Tuesday, said they were made by "someone ignorant of the whole workings of Ihe com mission." Both Republican and Democratic members of the com mission, he said, ccrimcu inai my work was fairly and patiently J eoTidiKded To the statement that the task forces, especially that on public power, had been stacked lo "turn back the clock" of government pol icy, Hoover replied: Public power pressure groups were 'not represented upon the (water resources task force for the ' imnin reason thai I also refused to appoint representatives of the nublic utilities. We were conduct ing an objective inquiry and not a donnybrook fair. v Check, Check Protector Are Reported Stolen Roseburg City Police reported i Wednesday that a cheek in t h e amount of $108.81 and a check pro-1 teeing had been removed from the 1 office of Ihe Western Battery Sep- i arauir Co., liunicn vaucy noau, i,nil asked for a $i;oo retainer tec.

Page One) ferson, Umatilla and Douglas coun ties, the district attorney stated. Of the $6,770 total, J3.675 21 has been returned to (late, and appro priate action is being taken in oth er counties, for recovery of other money. Other Oregon counties in which Chernoff had been operating in re cent weeks, the district attorney listed, are Hood River, Malheur, Klamath and Deschutes. According to Stults and a state policeman who arrested Chernoff, the dark haired Chicagoan operat ed this way: With a list from his company, he went around contacting persons in terested in selling their businesses. The company apparently gets a list of prospects through advertising. Chernoff, who claims to be an appraisal engineer for the broker age firm, would appraise a busi ness and send in a report. A short time later he would return to have the customer fill out an original application (agreement) for the brokerage firm lo handle the sale of the business. The appraisal usually runs sub stantially higher than the price the owner had believed he could get for his property. But the owner is told the company has contact with a buyer ready to pay the price. As part of the agreement, the soiiir is ihen asked lo nay a re tainer fee, usually about 1 per cent of the sale price. The retainer fee js to be paid men, wnn a com pany commission to Be couacieu after the. sale. Chernoff received about 40 per cent of the retainer fee as commission. Chernoff admitted, Stults said, that he personally knew of only one sale ever consumated. He said he thought the company concluded sales through local brokers, Stults stated. In making an investigation of whether or not Chernoff had a li cense to -deal in real estate, offi cers learned the identification he was carrying identifies the com pany and the man, but shows the corporation has a broker's license for the city of Chicago only and that the license does not allow brokerage of real estate or insur ance, Stults said. The law provides real esiaie brokers in Oregon must be licensed hv the slate. The real estate com missioner issues such a license only after the applicant has passed an examination and posted a bond. Stults warned thai persons should be cautious, especially of out-of-state operations, where there is a question of legality. Some intelli gent and 'substantial" business men apparently were completely convinced thai Chernoff's activity was strictly legal. Chernoff's activities in Douglas I County came to light through a Roseburg attorney, spencer laios, after a client went to Yales lor legal counsel. When the proposition cnernoit Uait nrpsintert to the client he- oam known to Yates he notified ine district attorney, and the ar- ,.BSj resulted. Yates said he became suspicious w,en his client told him Chernoff Anion? others. I). W. llacuon- aM of Portland, chief examiner for n,e slate Dept. of Heal Kslale, nas been investigating me case.
