O'Dwyer Accused; Reds Grind to Halt Compiled by Phil Bettens From the wires of Auvctotnl Pmw William O’Dwyer, former mayor of New York and present 1 S. ambassador to Mexico, was accused Tuesday bv the Senate crime committee of contributing to the growth of organized crime in New York City. The committee’s report, released Tues day. also charged that underworld kingpin Frank Costello is a power in Democratic politics. I lie crime committee’s report had this to say about (J’Dwycr: ‘’Neither he nor his appointees took any effective action against the top echelons of the gambling, narcotics, water front, murder, or bookmaking rackets. In fact, his actions impeded promising investigations of such rackets.” And on Costello: ’’It i' apparent to the coninlittee that despite Costello’s protes tations, his sinister influence is still strong in the councils of the Democratic party organization of New York.” The senators devoted about 35 pages of the 195-page report to their New York City investigation, where O’Dwyer and Costello were the major witnesses at hearings viewed on television by upwards of 20 million persons. The committee's report made many recommendations on legislation to cut down on organized crime by making it financially unprofitable. In Korea, The Red's Big Spring Offensive. .. .. .has ground to a halt. Their attack on Seoul, the South Korean capital, lutt been temporarily halted, and the Chinese Reds seem to be shifting their forces to the central Korean front. On the central front, the Keds cut off the water supply for rivers blocking their invasion route. The Han river dropped so sharply that l.T. N. engineers had to adjust pontoon bridges three times Tuesday. The Chinese have apparently closed the sluice gates of the huge Hwachon dam, located further up the Han river, an Allied spokesman said. And another senator has asked that Chinese Nationalist troops be used in the Korean righting. Senator Warren Mugnuson (D., Wash.) made the statement in a news conference in Hong Kong, China, last Weekend Tuesday Was May Day—A Big Communist Holiday .. anil appropriate celebrations were staged by the Reds all over the world. Life In Paris slowed to a walk as bus, subway, and taxi men obeyed union orders to take the day off. Most cafes and bars were closed also. Some 10,000 Italians, many of them youths and children, gathered at homes ancient Colosseum for a Communist-sponsored rally. But most Italians celebrated quietly. In Moscow, the Communists shot the works. Stalin appeared atop Lenin’s tomb to view the biggest parade of the day; little trouble from non-Communist opposition to the big demonstration was expected. Red China's radio stations ground forth propaganda all day long, but non Commumst Asia generally observed a quiet May Day. The State Legislature May Adjourn Today... .. .if an eight-member conference committee on taxes can settle the Legislature’s tax dispute. The Senate, meanwhile, approved a bill which would join two big Oregon counties Multnomah and Columbia into one county, to be called Custer. The bill was introduced as a jibe at senator Richard Neuberger’s (D., Multnomah) plan to consolidate five eastern Oregon counties into one governmental group. This last bill is expected to die in committee, now that the senator’s have had their fun. A Roseburg Man Shoved Off for Tahiti Tuesday... . . .all by himself in a 26-foot sailboat. He embarked from Long Beach, Calif., on his 52nd birthday. Roland H. Barney, the roving seaman, estimated that the trip would take him two months. He’ll cover approximately 4,000 miles during his lonely cruise. The ship, a New Bedford-type whaling sloop purchased as war surplus, was christened by Barney, “China Doll.” Gen. MacArthur Took A Back Seat... .. .Tuesday when he brought his wife back to her home town—Mur freesboro, Tenn.—for a half-day visit. The General was busy getting ready the testimony he will deliver to Senators when he appears Thursday before a joint session of the Senate's Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committee. Murfreesboro gave a long and lusty greeting to the MacArthurs, but the main reception was for Mrs. Jean Faircloth MacArthur. She has not been to her home town since her marriage to the general 14 years ago. Senator Morse (R., Ore.) Served Notice... .. .Monday that he will no longer be bound by the rule forbidding disclosure of testimony heard in closed door Congressional sessions. He said that he has heard at recent meetings of the Senate Armed Services Committee, of which he is a member, testimony about “practices of some groups guilty of unpatriotic commercialism in connections with the defense effort.” Morse told the Senate, “I am shocked at the open defiance of some business establishments,” which, he said, are earning unprecendent. ,1 profits "but still want more.” The United Daughters of the Confederacy Are Mad . . .because the Fifteenth Army Corps is taking over control of Camp Chafl'ec, Ark., headquarters of the Fifth Armored Division. The Corps ♦ led Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman’s famous march through Goorgie in 1864 during the Civil War, and the ladios haven’t forgotten it. The president of the Fort Smith U. D. C. chapter, near the site of Camp Chaffee, called the corps “A bunch of barn burners,” and added; "I am thinking of wiling Senator McClellan (D., Ark.) and Senator Fulbright (D., Ark.) in protest. It’s exceedingly bad manners on the part of the Army.” Petitions Due— Oregana Positions...
