Matusow Is Accused
Of Rifling Dormitories
WASHINGTON (API - Inves
j tigating senatois Wednesday pro
duced an affidavit stating there
; is “reliable information" that
! turnabout witness Harvey Matu
j sow rifled a students' dormitory
at Antioch college while investi
• gating Communism there.
The sworn statement came from
i John J. Edmiston, a reporter for
the Middletown (Ohio) Journal
and his wife, Martha, both former
undercover workers for the FBI.
After it was placed in evidence
at a hearing being conducted by
the Senate Internal Security sub
committee, Matusow swore he
had never been accused of the of
fense. Antioch is located at Yel
low Springs. Ohio.
“What else do you expect from
j professional witnesses?" Matu
sow evclaimed.
At the request of his attorney.
Chairman Eastland (Dem-Miss. i
ordered that subpoenas be issued
for the Edmistons to appear be
fore the subcommittee next Mon
day. Their affidavit was dated
Feb. 14 at Middletown.
It stated that “on reliable in
formation and belief, Matusow
was observed rifling students'
wardrobes and effects in a dormi
tory at Antioch college, but es
caped the campus without being
; detained, and that this presum
ably occurred while he was em
ployed by the Ohio Un-American
Activities commission.”
Matusow and the Edmistons
were formerly close friends, ac
cording to other evidence pro
duced.
Wednesday’s stormy hearing
also brought these other devel
j opments:
1. Matusow testified that his
past testimony linking 245 per
I sons to the Communist party was
I false in “some aspect" as to each
individual.
2. Eastland announced that
' each of the 245 will be given an
opportunity to come forward and
defend himself. He said the sub
committee considered this should
be done in justice to the individ
uals and to test whether Matu
sow was telling the truth when
he tagged them with the Red
label or was telling the truth
now.
3. Matusow insisted he received
about S600 for campaigning in
j 1952 for the re-election of former
Sen. Cain (Rep-Wash.) although
informed that a receipt showed
payment of only $150.
At the end of the session, Ma
tusow was excused as a witness
temporarily, but told to be ready
I to come back when he was
wanted.
Matusow' testified that he had
received about $600, including
expenses, for campaigning for

former Sen. Cain, and A J. Sour
j wine, committee counsel, asked
| him, "Don't you know it was
only $150?"
"I know it was more than
that,” Mutusow replied.
Sourwine asked him if he did
not know that a receipt showed
a payment of only $150. Matu
sow retorted that if that were
the case, the receipt must be
"fraudulent.”
Asked by Eotirwine If the pay
ment were made by Fred Hansen.
Matusow said he could not recall
the man's name. He said,"how
ever, the man was connected with
Cain's campaign and described
him as a lawyer or in the real
estate business in Tacoma.
Gas Stations
Still Warring
Several Eugene stations are
S now selling gasoline at 25.3 cents

; adding to the current local price
war.
Some stations continue to ask

j for 26.3 and 26.7 cents.
The “war'' has had little ef
1 feet on volume of business, sev

Eisenhower Signs
Congress Pay Bill
WASHINGTON IAP) — Presi
| dent Eisenhower signed the bill
for a raise in Congress pay Wed
nesday and said he wus happy
that Congress had passed it.
In his comment at a news con
ference the President also
dropped in a plug for four-year
terms for membeis of the House.
Their terms now run only two
, years; senators are elected for
six years.
The new law raises the pay of
I members of the House and Sen
ate from $15,000 a year'to $22.
; 500, a jump of $7,500 or 50 per
j cent.
It also raises the pay of ap
proximately 400 judges by $7,500
J to $10,000. Increases for United
| States attorneys and their assist
I ants also are included in the bill.
Federal District judges who
have been getting $15,000 a year
will now get $22,500; higher
court judges who have been get
ting $17,500 will now get $25,
500. Associate justices of the Su
preme Court get^ raise of $10,
000 to $85,000 and the chief jus
tice will get $35,500 instead of
$25,500.
All of the pay raises are effec
tive as of Tuesday.
Eisenhower said with a grin
that Congress members should be
paid well, but not to forget that
the government would get half
of it back in income taxes.
Actually, the amount of tax
will vary according to whether
members have outside income and
if so, how much. In the case of
a very wealthy lawmaker, the
tax r ate runs as high as 90 per
cent.
At the present salary basis,
the 'member with no outside in
come would have a tax of $2,148.
With the raise, his tax would be
$4,362. Thus his tax would be in
creased by $2,214, or almost 30
per cent of the $7,500 raise.
Eisenhower said members of
Congress have unusual expenses,
including the need for maintain
ing two homes and the need of
going back to their districts from
time to time. He said the pay
boost fitted into the idea of en
couraging good men of modest
means to serve their country.
