Dares Probe To
If He Shared In
WASHINGTON (AP) - Fifth-amendment-pleading
Lou in R o
mano, alleged Capnne mobster,
dared the Senate Kackets Com
mittee Wednesday to go find out
lor itself if it believes he dealt
in labor rackets pay-offs.
"The whole bunch of youse are
wrong," Romano shouted in
stormy clashes with committee
chairman John L. McClcllan CD
Ark) and counsel Robert K. Ken
nedy.
The outbursts punctuated a hear
ing in which McClellan warned the
rueged-faced witness that lying
under oath is a serious criminal
offense.
Kennedy told the committee he
has evidence available that will
challenge some of Romano testi
mony. Romano was the lead-off witness
in the second day of hearings on
an alleged Capone mob conspiracy
to dominate the restaurant in
dustry in Chicago and the labor
unions with which restaurants
bargain.
5th Amendment Used
Romano ducked behind the Fifth
Amendment when asked whether
he had been arrested on charges
of murder and attempted murder.

imony Tuesday alleging shake-
downs ana cuuusiun, in investiga
ting what it has labeled a vast
conspiracy by the underworld to
control the city's rich restaurant
industry.
Romano has been named in testi
mony as a gangster installed by
Frank (The Endorcer) Mitti as Doss
of the racketeer-infested Bartend
ers union Local 278.
The committee voiced curiosity
about Teitclbaum'i reasons for hir
ing Romano as the restaurant as
sociation s labor expert atter a
slate court had ousted Romano and
placed Local 278 in receivership.
Teitelbaum was a major witness
in a House investigation of t a x
scandals in the Truman adminis

they had been called off by the
governor s oince.
He laid this was in June 1952,
during the administration of Gov.
Adlai Stevenson, but he said he
didn't know who in the governor's
otlice gave the order.
In Chicago, his statement drew
quick denials from Thomas O'Don
nell, who was state police superin
tendent that year, and Carl Mc-
Gowan, who was Stevenson's ad
ministrative assistant.
O'Donncll said he was certain
Stevenson did not issue any such

McGowan naid he never was
aware of such an order.

Strang, who runs three restau
rants in Cleveland and one in Niles
outside Chicago, said his troubles
were with Local 450 of the Restau

mobster Claude Maddox, now dead.
Strang said lie had defied the
union's demands that he secretly
force his employes to join. He said
he learned later that the local.
without consulting either him or
the employes, enrolled wem on us

Elkins May Be Freed
Of All Liquor Charges
PORTLAND (AP)-All the re
maining bootlegging indictments
against Portland gambler Big Jim
Elkins may he dismissed as a re
sult of a ruling by Circuit Judge
James V. Crawford Wednesday.
Earlier the judge had thrown
out one of the boollegsing indict
ments on the ground that it was
vague and poorly drawn. Allv.
Gen. Robert Y. Thornton, who is
prosecuting Portland's vice probe
cases, asked the court to recon
sider. Rut Judge Crawford reaf
firmed his earlier ruling.
The other nine indictments
against Elkins and others are al
most identical and it is expected
they also will be dismissed.
Elkins touched off Portland vice
probe two years ago by saying
that out-of-state gamblers were
attempting to get into Portland

Hassle Spreads
To Lane County
EUGENE (AP) An $8,800 item
in Lane County's 9-million-dollar
budget has renewed a feud be
tween state Aeronautics Director
Earl Snyder and the Oregon wing
of the Civil Air Patrol.
Snyder tangled with the CAP
several months ago over the gen
eral conduct of a search and res
cue operation in Eastern Oregon.
He renewed the feud this week
with a statement that Lane County
doesn't need to contribute tax
payers' money for support of the
CAP.
The $8,800 is the amount Lane
County has budgeted for the four
CAP squadrons here.
First word of Snyder's criticism
of such budgeting came with the
release of a July 3 letter from
Snyder to all county civil defense
directors.
In his letter, Snyder pointed out
that he has received word that
representatives for the CAP have
applied to the various Oregon
counties for financial aid.
Snyder said, "The reported basis
for this money request is that the
CAP aircraft would be the only
civil aircraft allowed to fly if we
were subjected to enemy attack.
This is not true."
CAP Private Venture
The aeronautics director then
referred the civil defense directors
to the Oregon Civil Defense Plan,
appendix 2 to annex J. He said
that the plan places the responsi
bility for use of all civil aircraft
in the hands of the state director.
"Civil Air Patrol is a private
corporation whose members pay
dues. CAP has no official or other
especially recognized role in the
state civil defense plan. Because
of these facts, it is highly ques
tionable whether or not public
moneys can, or should, be trans
ferred to civil Air Patrol, inc.
Snyder signed the letter as the
chief of aviation for civil defense,
Lane County Commissioner
Ralph Petersen, who sponsored
the move to place the $8,800 in
the budget here, jumped to the
defense of the appropriation
soon as he heard of Snyder's let
ter.
Taxation Defended
Petersen said he sponsored the
Item because "the people who
join CAP shouldn't have to should
der alone the financial burdens"
of carrying on the duties per
formed by the Civil Air Patrol."
He also challenged Snyder's
statement that the CAP is not
connected with civil defense oper
ations. Petersen said throughout
Lane County budget proceedings
that the CAP is directly under the
Air Force and works closely with
all the armed forces.
Col. Charles R. Chick, Portland,
commander for the Oregon wing
of the CAP, who did battle with
Snyder over the last issue, stood
ready to do the same this time.
However, he said he could make
no statement until he had seen a
copy of Snyder's letter to the civil
defense directors.

Passport Denial
To Communists
Urged On U.S.
WASHINGTON Ifl - Sen. Roman
L. llruska (R-Neb) called today
lor quick action by Congress to
empower the secretary of state to
deny passports to Communists.
"It's an urgent situation," he
said.
llruska told a reporter that testi
mony of Robert D. Johnson, chief
of the Legal Division of the State
Department's Passport Office,
pointed up a need for legislation
such as President Eisenhower has
recommended.
At a Senate Internal Security
subcommittee hearing Wednesday,
Johnson said that passports al
ready have been issued to about
65 persons who would have been
processed under "our Communist
regulations" had it not been for
recent Supreme Court rulings.
Their applications were pending
al the time, he said.
The court, in three cases decid
ed June 16 held that the secretary
of stale has no legal authority to
deny passports to Communists or
others because of their associations
or beliefs.
Johnson said , that since the'
court's ruling, about 70 passport
applications have been received
from persons "we'd normally pro
cess under our Communist regula
tions." He said passports also will have
to be issued to these applicants.
In answer to questions, Johnson
said that the State. Department
could not now deny passports even
to persons it knew to be espionage
agents, so long as they were Amer
ican citizens and had not been con
victed of espionage.
Earlier this week Eisenhower
sent a message to Congress urging
legislation to permit denial of pass-
Rorts to persons whose activities
ave aided communism in the past
10 years.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee has scheduled hearings
on the measure starting July 16.

Embassy Raps
Two More Fake
Letters To Reds
LONDON LB The U.S. Em
bassy has denounced as fakes two
more letters to the Soviet Embas
sy purporting to reveal details of
an American bomber crew's plan
to drop an atomic bomb off Brit
ain'! North Sea coast.
The Soviets said one of the new
letters attacking American nuclear
defense plans came from the same
writer who a week ago wrote that
he would pilot the bomber. ,
This time, they said, he wrote
that the bomb would be dropped
by July 12 and that "we hope this
will be sufficient to show the West
ern capitalists the terrible thing
with which they are playing."
The writer of the second letter
said he was a member of the
bomber's crew, according lo the
Soviets.
The Soviet Embassy released
only photo copies of the letters,
refusing to let Scotland Yard ex
amine the originals for clues. The
Soviets have conceded the letters
probably are a hoax but publicized
them nevertheless.
When the first letter wa made
public, the U.S. State Department
called them Soviet propaganda
forgeries. An unemployed British
farm worker who was discharged
by the Royal Air Force for men
tal instability said he wrote the
first letter but later denied it.

These are preliminary guesses
today of officials of the U.S. Geo
logical Survey and the U.S. Coast

Present position of the center is
somewhere near Lebanon, Kan.
The geographic center is defined
as "the point at which the United
States would balance if it were all
the same thickness and were su
spended on a pinpoint."
One way of figuring it is sim
ply lo take a map of the United
States, paste it on a cardboard

by placing your map on a pinpoint.
Sounds easy, but Alaska pre
sents complications for such a

ous land connection between Alas
ka and the rest of Ihe United
States. A portion of Canada pops
up in between.
A government expert told a re

your U.S. map by means of a light,
aluminum wire and then do your
balancing.
"You could also figure it out
mathematically," he said, "by tak
ing what we call coordinates of

and cost thousands of dollars even
with modern high-speed comput
ing machines."

shook all of southeastern Alaska,
A later report from an airlines
station manager at Yakutat said
the postmaster and his wife, John
and Dora Williams, witnessed the
death of the three berry pickers
on the long-narrow island one mile
offshore in Yakutat Bay.
Williams told the airline official
there was terrific suction in the
water after the end of the island
fell' away and violent turbulence
churned the bay.
Only a few paper plates from
the picnic and strawberry picking
outing were found after the se
vere currents subsided.
The Temblor shook build
ings and rattled windows in Sit
ka, Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway,
Yakutat and other southeast Alas
ka communities and was also
felt in Whitehorse, Y.T.
Some damage to oil lines, water
tanks and docks was done in Yak-
iutat, but apparently the loss was
I minor elsewhere.
