Jury Selection
Continues In
Murder Trial
McMINNVILLK, Ore. m Rival
attorneys set out Friday to com
plete selection fal a jury to try
trim Mrs. Marjorie Smith, 34, on
the charge she plotted the dyna
mite killing of her husband.
She it accused of inducing a 45-year-old
handyman, Victor Laur
ence Wolf, to wire the dynamite
to the car of attorney Oliver Ker
mit Smith, who was killed when
he turned on the ignition of his
car in Portland last April.
Wolf has confessed that he did
this because, he said, the woman
promised to go away with him to
Alaska after collecting the $21,000
insurance on Smith's life.
It ii a first - degree murder
charge Mrs. Smith faces, and the
state told prospective jurors Thurs
day Ihe death penalty will be
sought.
TwpIv? jurors were selected ten
tatively on the opening day but
both the state and defense have
challenges they may yet exercise.
Judge Arlie G. Walker said he
would not start taking evidence un-
til Monday.
The defense has made two things
clear:
1. Wolf's story will be challenged
as that of a deluded man who only
"drpamed" that Mrs. Smith want
ed her husband dead.
2. The defense believes Portland
newspapers made a fair trial im
possible in Portland, and may even
nave made it doubtful here in this
farming community, 40 miles from
Portland. All the principals lived
in Portland, where the slaying also
occurred.
The trial was transferred from
Portland on motion of the defense,
and defense atty. Bruce Spaulding
questioned prospective jurors re
peatedly on whether they had read
Portland newspaper accounts of
the case, and what their feelings
were about the newspapers.
A number of jurors said they had
read of the rase there, for Ihe two
Portland Newspaners circulate
heavily in this area.
A number of them were dis
missed. All told 27 of the 39 pros
peetive jurors nuestioned Thursday
were dismissed.
When one prospective juror said
she had no particular feelings
bout the Portland newspapers,
Spaulding asserted, "I do.'
Shipowners, AFL
In Agreement On
3-Year Contract
SAN KRA.N'CISCO West
Coast shipowners and the AFL
Marine Cooks and Stewards Union
are in agreement on a new 3-year
contract granting wage increases
and a welfare fund for some 2,400
seagoing cooks and stewards.
Agreement 'on the new contract
was announced jointly Thursday
by the union and shipowners. Un
ion officials termed the pact "gen
erous" and predicted it would be
approved by the union member
ship. Details were not announced but
U was reported the pact contains
a no strike clause.
Union organizer Ed Turner said
the agreement calls for $25 month
ly pay boosts and increases in
overtime ranging from $1.71 to
$2.65 an hour. Another provision
calls for a 1-million dollar em
ployer contribution to establish a
welfare fund.
Union sources said the contract
follows a formula recently set by
the AFL Sailors Union under which
penalty rates for certain unpleas
ant or dangerous jobs, now paid in
addition to regular pay, will be
included in a higher base pay.

Brakes Give Way
K1TTANNING. Pa. WT-Truck-driver
Charles Defrain plucky,
lucky and scared stayed with
his runaway rig as it careened
down a steep hill, smashing 10
autos and injuring three persons
before crashing to a halt.
The brakes on the steel-laden
trurk gave way about one third
of the way down Route 422 yester
day. The 42-year-old Williamsport,
Pa., driver told police later:
"All I did was push on the brake,
blow the horn and pray."
Making a nearlv 90-degree turn
at the foot of the hill, the speeding
truck sideswiped 10 autos before
it slopped on a main street of this
western Pennsylvania town. Leak
ing gasoline ignited, but firemen
quickly put out the blaze in the
truck and the last car it hit.
Defrain was not injured. No
charges were filed.
LINCOLN, Neb. I A formal
stand on phases of the Hoover
and Power ' report, released last
June, is expected to come out of
next week's tuh annual conven
tion here of the National Recla
mation Assn,
The 3-day convention opens Mon
day with from 700 to 900 persons
from 17 Western stales expected
to attend. Directors of the asso
ciation, one from each of the 17
states, were to meet Friday in
the first of several pre-convention
sessions.
The controversial Hoover Com
mission report has been under
study by the association's, water
policy committee, association pres
ident C. Petrus Peterson of Lincoln
said.
The committee meets again Sat
urday for further work on a report
reflecting suggested association re
action to the Hoover, report. The
report shapes up as the nearest
thing to a "sharp issue" confront
ing the convention, Peterson said.
The Hoover Commission report,
adopted by a split vote of com
mission members, called for sev
eral restrictions on federal de
velopment of the nation's water
resources. Among other things, it
recommended that Congress ban
government construction of steam
power plants and forbid the build
ing of federal power lines where
private utilities can provide transmission.
It won t be the first time
Hoover Commission recommenda
tions have drawn association
scrutiny. The first Hoover Com
mission six years ago recommend
ed that dambuilding and other ci
vilian functions of the Army's
Corps of Engineers be merged in
to the Interior Department's Rec
lamation Bureau. The association
for several years went on record
annually opposing this recom
mendation. At last year's convention at
Portland, Ore., a resolution was
proposed from the floor endorsing
(the Eisenhower administration's
i "partnership" policy of water and
i power development. A parliamen
tary maneuver tabled the resolu-
tion before debate was hardly
started.

He said this was the way the

Portland Safeway Store
Robbed Thursday Night
PORTLAND A Safeway
store on the East ide was robbed
Thursday night of about $1,000 by
a bandit described as sloppily
dressed.
Walla Whitney, assistant man
ager, said he was closing when the
man entered the place, drew a gun
and ordered him to "clean out the
till."
Whitney said he put "about $1,000
in a paper sack" and the man
warned him not to leave the coun
ter for a half hour.
He said that after the man
walked out he started for the
telephone but the bandit was
watching from a window and made
a threatening gesture. According to
Whitney the robber stayed out in
front 15 minutes before disappear
ing. Whitney then telephoned police
who theorized that the bandit
apparently had been waiting for
an accomplice in a getaway car.
Another Chapter
Writers To Ship's
Sinking At Sea
LONDON iB The News Chron
icle said Friday that the freighter
Flving Enterprise, whose 1951
sinking added new chapter to
sagas of the sea, carried a secret
cargo of rare metal vital to U.S.
atomic power research.
"In six small steel boxes," the
story reported, "she was carrying
almost all the world supply of pure
zirconium a 'silvery, steel-strong
miracle metal for making atomic
power plants."
The account said the boxes of
the metal were recovered by the
Italian crew which salvaged much
of the cargo in 1953 from the sunk
en wreck off Falmouth Harbor.
"Now that the United States and
other countries are making large
quantities of Uie metal, an Amer
ican atomic scientist has been al
lowed to let British colleagues
know the story." the paper said.
It did not identify the U.S. scien
tist. The News Chronicle gave this
account:
"It was found in 1951 not only
that zirconium could withstand
very high temperature and did not
corrode, hut also it did not ab
sorb neutrons.
"These are atomic particles
which keep the chain reaction go
ing in atomic piles.
"There was no zirconium ore in
the United States, so the Flying
Enterprise went to Brazil to pick
up a consignment of ore and take
it to Germany the only country
with t he chemical engineering
plant to reduce the ore to pure
metal.
"It was on the return journey
that the ship foundered."
The story said the secret of the
six steel boxes was so well kept
that even Capt. Kurt Carlsen,.whn
stuck heroically with his shin until
it was sinking under him, did not
; know their contents.
