Brownell, asked that a suit be filed to compel the railroad to resume service.

Thornton Tuesday petitioned the Marion County Circuit Court for an order that would allow him to inspect all evidence collected in the recent investigation of the Ore gon Liquor Control Commission. It was his second move in that direction and was an amended complaint. The first complaint was turned down by Judge George R. Duncan who gave mormon to days to amend it and file again. Thornton s latest eftort says that Portland attorneys Howard Bobbitt and Robert Maguire who made the investigation at the governor's re quest, were special agenls of the liquor commission and tnus came under the attorney general's office. Thornton's earlier efforts to see the evidence they uncovered, in cluding original depositions, led to his charge that the governor was improperly withholding evidence of bribe solicitations. The gover nor denied this. A Multnomah County Grand Jury has been called to Investigate the matter. Fingerprinting Law Change Seen WASHINGTON (0 -The adminis- tration has about decided to ask Congress to change a law which requires fingerprinting of all non official visitors to the United States. The move is shaping up as part of a White House-backed plan to wipe out barriers which might block a broad cultural exchange with Russia and other countries. Russia and some other nations have bitterly objected in the past to the fingerprinting required for issuance of an American visa. The Soviets canceled a proposed visit by a group of student editors last spring rather than allow them to be fingerprinted. A similar com plication which for a time threat ened to halt the just-concluded visit of Russian farm leaders to this country was avoided by desig nating tne group as an official delegation. Jap Physician Challenges Cause Of Victim's Death TOKYO i The chief Dhvsi- cian in charge of Japan's 23 Bikini hydrogen bomb victims today chal lenged a U.S. Defense Department statement that jaundice from blood transfusions caused the death last October of fisherman Aikichi Ku boyama.

Dr. Kazuo Kiyoshi, a medical professor at Tokyo University, conducted the autopsy on Kuboya ma in the presence of U.S. special ists. He said all agreed that Ku bnyama's liver and bone marrow contained radioactive elements, apparently as the result of breath ing dust from the hvdrogen bomb fall-out in March 1954.

McKay Denies 'False Statements' of Opponents (Continued from Page One) Bonneville Power Administration was being dismantled. This isn't so, he declared.

Answering what he said were reports in some quarters that the department intended to "give away" several waterfowl and big game refuges, McKay said: "These refuges, as well as na tional parks and forests, are an irreplaceable national asset. I feel strongly lhat these resources of which "the federal government is the guardian on behalf of all the people, should and must be pre served." He said the department was es tablishing new refuges and lhat Oregon's additions include some 3,000 acres on the north fork of Ihe John' Day River and plans for extending the Upper Klamath Ba sin game refuge in Klamath County. He said the department also was expanding national parks: "The National Park Service has adopted a program of long-range planning for the parks with which I am in hearty accord."
