Observer, La Grande, Pro., Tues., Juno 30, 1959 Pago 12 Cause Of States Rights Bill Not Mentioned In House Talk By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON Hl'll lei all that talk in the House of Hepre sentativcs about the states rights bill which passed this week not much was said ulxiut the Com munist espionage and revolu tiimaiy acent who was the cause ul it all. This anil American operator m ncrally Is known us Sieve Nel son. His real name is .Sieve J. Mesarosh. He was born Jan. 1 vm in Chaulich, Yugoslavia. For the documented story of this subversive U. S. resident see the jusl published "Appendix to Part 1. the Case of Sieve Nelson from the Hecords." This document, ob tainable for a few cents from the Government Printing Office, was put together by the Senate Inter nal Security Subcommittee. It was printed in an eifort to persuade senators that they should ote for the stales rights hill which the House passed. This bill would prevent the Supreme Court from hlriini a slate law iniiH'i alive merely because Congress had en acted federal legislation in the same field. The court on such grounds in ISM vacated Nelson's conviction on charges under the Pennsylvania Sedition Act. He had been sentenced to 20 years im prisonment, a $10,110 fine and further, had been assessed 13,00u court costs. "This fur-reaching Supreme Court decision," the Kubcoinmit lee said in ils slory of the Nelson cuse, "nut only effectively blocks prosecutive measures against Com munists by all stales of (he union but it also set at liberty a man whose record is one long chain of conspiratorial machinations against the United Slates. "For the first time in its his- the United States is vulner able to armed attack by an en emy beyond its borders. Kssential to the designs of Soviet conquest are its American agents, militar ily and politically trained to do its bidding in the event of. . . an emergency. Sieve Nelson is well prepared and experienced for such a role." For example: Nelson was a graduate of Moscow 's Lenin school which taught much more than po litical philosophy. Leonard Patter son, a former Communist and Lenin school student, told the sub committee what he, Nelson and other Lenin school students learned. Patterson said: "I got belter military training in Kussia than I gut in my own U.S.i Army from the time I was in the Lenin school.., we just learned. . , how to erect street barricades, what to use as barri cades, such as turning over auto mobiles, street cars, sandbags, 4.rj degree angle posts, etc. We learned how to handle weapons of various countries, United States, ftusHTfl, France, Germany, Eng land. " The subcommittee document re lates Nelson's career as a con sistent law breaker, his activity in disrupting basic American undus- tries, his role in subverting the foreign born, his participation in the Communist atomic espionage ring in California. It is a shocking record. The subcommittee observes that: This same Nelson is free today. waiting his hour to strike, when he can continue these activities at the Kremlin's behest against these United Slates." France Is Expected To Explode First A-Bomb Before Year's End By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Staff Writer From the foreign editor's note book: NUCLEAR CLUB It's beginning to look more and more as though France will ex plode ils first atomic bomb be fore the end of the year. If it dues, it will make France a mem Iht of the exclusive 'nuclear club" now made up of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Un ion. This achievement will Rive President ( hiti les le Gaulle re alization of one of his fondest de sires a bigger voice and more influence in shaping world uf faiis. About a week ago. Pierre Guillauniat. De Gaulle's minister of the armed forces, said France was so "close" to completing work on ils first atomic bomb that it didn't need foreign assist ance. This hint of atomic attain ment was underscored later when Assistant Premier Jacques Sou rtelle told the Senate in Paris that France would not agree to any" suspension of nuclear tests at a time when ils own bomb was ncaring completion. It's not ex pected that France's big bang will go off until after the sum mer months, however. DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES The Saarland's half million res idents may become full-fledged Germans again soon. The coal rich territory which has been the subject of international tugs of war since Charlemagne s grand miiis divided up his empire, was part of France from PM. until Jan. t, Wi? when it was returned to West Germany. However, it was agreed the Saar would re main a part of the French mon etary zone for three years to pro vide an orderly changeover. The West Germans now are ready to bring the Saar into the German monetary zone six months ahead of schedule. One sticky problem Gromyko Has Hope For Geneva MOSCOW I UPI Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko s;iid Sunday he still saw a possibility of success for the Geneva confer ence but he made it clear the West and not Itussia must yield Gromyko. in a IS-page stale ment on the conference, main tained the stand he took at Gen eva and gave no indication the Itussians planned any concessions that would break the deadlock over llerlin. Germany or Furo M-an security. He said the first part of the conference it is in a I' 'ee weck adjournment was v 'efu. because it piniMiinled differences and at tempts were made at bringing Kasl and West closer together. He fcuicl the United States, Hr it ain and France actually planned the recess "beforehand, and they merely sought an excuse in order to announce it." The West said Gromyko had made further dis cussions hopeless by repealer! "ul timatums." Gromyko denied he had issued any. Cheese Strike In Ninth Week TILLAMOOK fUPIl The Teamsters strike against the Til l.-imook County Creamery Associa tion continued in its ninth week today. Bealle Dickson, manager of the association, said no further negotiations meetings have been scheduled. The last session between the Union, the association and a fed eral mediator was here Friday At that time the union announced a drop from its original demand of 34 cents per hour to 31 cenls. and the creamery lipped ils orig inal 10 cent offer to 12 cents fur a two year contract. s that of children allowances. In France, the government allow ance begins with the first child. In West Germany, it begins with the third. The West German Par liament has agreed to continue to pay for the first child in the Saar, although it fears this may lead eventually to similar arrange ments for all of West Germany, it would boost government costs ir0 million dollars a year. ' DEEP FREEZE West German Chancellor Kon- rad Adenauer has a standing in vitation to visit London, hut Brit ish Prime Minister Harold Mac millun is said to hope he won't pick it up. Macmillan has been soured by some of Adenauer's re cent acidly t anti-British pro divergent views on the best ways to deal with Soviet Itussia. Mac millan, alone among Western leaders, is strong for a summit meeting with Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev and is not going to be talked out of it. Therefore, he also opposes any meeting among Western leaders now. There will be the usual consulta tions through "diplomatic chan nels" but nothing to patch up frayed Western unity except pos sibly a get-together of Western foreign ministers in Geneva just before the four-power conference reoens on July 13.

HTH Exam iners checked the records of Low ry State Bank today as authorities sought to clear up the mystery of why the bank's president ap parently shot his cashier son to death and then killed himself.
