his folk singing and said he had
to lake odd jobs to eke out a liv
ing, lie said he used to sing bass
with a now-defunct quartet known
as The Weavers. He slopped an
swering questions, however, when

called People's Songs and People's
Artists.
Like two witnesses the day be

When asked by reporters what
he thought of witnesses who re
fused to answer Ihc committee's
questions, liaruch replied:
"Any person who has nothing lo
fear can answer anything. In this
great country of ours, the only
thing you have to fear is guilt."

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

Real Estate Broker Case
Reaches To 10 Counties
(Continued from. 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

Grandson Lesson
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH

boy and his grandfather Presi

ung luck together today.

place is quite a contrast to the
rustic cabin in which Eisenhower
stayed during visits the last three
summers.
