Barker Replies
In Rhyme To
Hastings Mayor :
Mayor Ernest M. Barker Jr.
isn't to be out-done when it comes
to sending snappy telegrams back
ing the Roseburg American Legion
Junior baseball team.
Last Monday, Hastings, Neb.,
Mayor Wendell Foote accepted Bar
ker'a challenge and wagered him a
loin of choice Nebraska beef
against two Oregon salmon - that
Hastings would win. He also in
vited Barker to be present when
the Hastings team came home as
"world champs."
Today, Barker replied to Foote's
message in rhyme. Roseburg'a lat
est telegram went this way:
"Dear Mayor Foote. It rains out
West, but we have the best. Ride
the stream with Oregon's team.
Our web feet can't be beat.
"Ernie Barker, mayor. City of
Roseburg, timber capital of the na
tion, where water makes the tim
ber grow."
Barker s telegram is in refer
ence to the rain that washed out
the Hastings-Roseburg game Wed
nesday night.
Meanwhile, the Roseburg team
members will have a good chance
of putting on some weight if they
keep on winning. Chuck Brundage,
of Weber's Bakery, has offered the
team a dozen cream puffs for ev
ery game they win after the Yaki
ma series.
So far, the team has earned two
dozen of the goodies.

Chicagoan May
Succeed Paschen
CHICAGO OPI Political observ
ers speculated today that another
Cook County (Chicago) man would
be the Democratic party's choice
to succeed Herbert C. Paschen as
its nominee for governor.
Paschen, Cook County treasurer,
resigned Wednesday as the nomi
nee in a controversy revolving
auout an employes tund in his of
fice. The fund is under investiga
tion by county and federal grand

Paschen's resignation came less
than 10 weeks before the Nov.

picking his successor up to the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee which meets in Springfield,
111., Tuesday.
At least a dozen persons were
reported being considered to re
place the affable, 51-year-old Pas
chen who polled more than a mil
lion votes in 1954 when he was
elected county treasurer.
Adlai E. Stevenson, Democratic
presidential nominee, is expected
to have a strong voice in the se
lection of Paschen's successor, as
is Chicago Mayor Richard J. Da
ley, a Stevenson adherent.
Among those reported under
consideration are Stephen A. !
Mitchell, former Democratic na
tional chairman, Justice Walter V.
Schaefer of the Illinois Supreme
Court, Cook County Sheriff Joseph
D. Lohman and Cook County
Judge Otto Kerner, former U. S.
attorney in Chicago.

AFL-CIO Cracks
Down On Labor
Racket Movement
FOREST PARK, Pa. I Or
ganized labor appeared today to
be embarked on a new attempt
to chase racketeers out of the la
bor movement.
On the heels of action against
three unions charged with welfare
fund irregularities, the AFL-CIO
Executive Council ordered its 140
unions in effect to quit chartering
locals to hoodlums trying to extort
money from employers by threat
ening violence.
It directed all unions to avoid
indiscriminate issuing of charters
that "can be used to shake down"
employers and give "a black eye
to the labor movement."
The Federation's action closely
coincided with the FBI's arrest in
New York of John DioGuardi,
alias Johnny Dio, a police char
acter who has for years operated
on the racketeer fringe of the
labor movement.
Dio, arrested on charges of con
spiracy in the acid-blinding of La
bor columnist Victor Riesel, had'
succeeded for years in operating
nonexistent or "paper locals" of
various labor unions, New York
police officials said.
George Meany, AFL-CIO presi.
dent, said he didn't know whether
Dio's arrest meant he h e 1 p ed
blind Riesel but declared that any
body responsible for the "dastard
ly deed" in the Riesel case should
get "the full penalty of the law."
