Federal Jury
Indicts CM
NEW YORK (AP) General
Motors Corp. has been indicted
on a charge of criminally monop
olizing production and sale of
diescl locomotives and suppress
ing competition in the industry.
A one-count indictment against
GM was returned here Wednesday
by a federal grand jury, acting
on evidence presented hy the Jus
tice Department's antitrust divi
sion. Frederick G. Donner, chairman
of the GM board, commented:
"General Motors is not guilty of
the monopolistic practices
charged in tho indictment. This
will be clearly established at the
trial."
The corporation is scheduled to
plead in federal district court
next Monday, If convicted, it
could be fined up to $50,000.
Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy
said in Washington that the
charge against GM violation of
the Sherman Antitrust Act re
sulted from two-year Investiga
tion. The indictment says GM used
illegal sales methods to suppress
competition and capture more
than 84 per cent of the locoino
tivo business for its electromotive
division. '
: Citing dM as "probably the na
tion's largest shipper of freight,"
the indictment charges that GM
routed shipments to favor pur
chasers of its locomotives, and
withheld or reduced patronage to
lines buying diescl locomotives
from GM competitors.
Other accusations are that GM
took part in drawing up specifi
cations for uso in bidding shut
ting off other manufacturers from
competition and selling locomo
tives at a loss wherever it had
competition.
GM entered the locomotive In
dustry in 1030. In I960, it had total
net sales in all or us manuiaciur
ing lines of $12.7 billion. The gov.
eminent charges that GM had ac
quired 84 per cent of the locomo
tive business, and since 1946 sold
locomotives with a total value of
$2,681,545,429.

Irrigation Water
Picture Brighter
The irrigation water oiclure for
Douglas County has taken a turn
for the better in the last weeks,
primarily because of a cool, wet
March.
W. T. Frost, Snow Survey sup
ervisor for the Soil Conservation
Service, Oregon Agricultural Ex.
periment Station and Oregon State
engineer, said water content of the
mountain snowpack on the Umn.
qua Is 78 per cent of the 15-year
average base and 120 per cent of
last year.
Favor Runoff
He said moisture in the soil man
tle (top four feet) of these water
sheds is very satisfactory and will
favor spring runoff for the melt
ing snow.
All forecasts In the southern
Oregon area have Increased from
10 to 22 per cent as a result of
heavy increases in mountain snow
pack. Forecasts of strcamflow for
the irrigation season (April-September)
indicate discharge of the
North Umpqua near Toketee Falls
will be 80 per cent of the 15-year
average.
I lie final report on 1961 water
supply conditions will be issued
May 8.
Above 15-Year Average
The great increase in precipita
tion for March is further indicated
by tho U.S. Geological Survey's
report on runoff In the Umpqua
near Elkton. This March, mean
discharge was 24,120 cubic second
feet, as compared to 18,060 in
March 1960. It was far above tho
15-vear average of 13,350.
For the first six months of the
weather year, the total cfs-days
(cubic feet of water per second
in a day) was 2,18.1,000. Last
year, the figure was 1,437,000. But
an indication of a fairly dry win
ter was reflected by the fact the
total was still below the 15-year
average of 2,320,000.

the Jewish Problem" total ex
termination of the 11 million Jews
in Europe.
The legal argument developed
soon after the trial opened Tues
day, with Eichmann's chief coun
sel, Dr. Robert Servatius of West
Germany, contending that Israel
has no right to try Eichmann, that
the 1950 law under which he is
charged cannot apply because it
was promulgated after the alleged
offenses and that Eichmann was
only a tool of his Nazi masters.
Israeli Attorney General Gide
on Hausner has spent more than
three trial sessions in argument
against Servatius' contentions. He
told the court he would need an
other hour Friday to sum up, Ser
vatius sam nra counter-argument
would take another half hour.
Meanwhile, the nation paused to
commemorate the Jews who died
during the war. .
Ihe central point for the cere
monies was the new shrine at
Har Ilazikarom. on a hilltop about
three miles outside Jerusalem. It
is a group of stone buildings a
crypt, a synagogue, and a mem
orial hall. They stand on the bor
ders of a great square for as
semblies. The program called for the re
burial of the ashes of an unknown
number of Nazi victims in the
crypt and the kindling of an etern
al light, embedded in the floor of
the building are the names of 21
Nazi extermination camps.

Senate Group Rejects Request
For More Multnomah Solons
SALEM (AP) The Senate
Elections Committee voted 4-3 to
day against giving Multnomah
County any more legislators.
It sent to the Senate floor an
amended version of the House-
passed legislative reapportionment
bill, which had increased Mult
nomah s seven senators to eight.
The Senate committee today de
cided to give that extra senator
to a new Washington - Tillamook
district. The senator is being taken
from Polk County.
As the Senate version now
stands, there would be these dis
tricts, each having one senator:
Clatsop - Columbia: Washington
Tillamook; Washington; and Lincoln-Polk.
The House had voted for a lineup
like this: Clatsop-Columbia-Tillamook;
Washington; Lincoln-Polk;
and increasing Multnomah by one.
The present lineup is: Clatsop-
Columbia; Lincoln - Tillamook;
Washington; and Polk.
In the House, Clackamas County
would gain one member at the ex
pense of the mid-Columbia coun
ties just east of the Cascades.
That is the only House change.
The Senate committee did not
change it.
Kep. Alice Corbett. D-Portland,
said she opposes the bill. She said
Atuitnoman county is entitled to
