Solons Fear
Aid to End in
Soviet Hands
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4 -iJPy-Friends
and fees of emergency
id ' to Europe clashed on the
house floor today over the ques
tion whether the relief program
would halt the march of commun
ism or strengthen Russia in a pos
sible war against the U. S.
Quick help to western Europe
"as an investment in national se
curity" was urged by Rep. Cox
(D-Ga.), who declared that past
American policies of "appease
ment" had built Russia from a se
cond rate power Into a "monster
that now has the entire world
trembling in its boots."
Cox told the house during the
first of two days' general debate
on a $90,000,000 relief measure
that Russia "is waging everything
but a shooting war against us."
He said U. S. help to Russia in
the past was "the most awful sin"
ver committed against humanity.
Rep. Leo Allen (R-Ill.) called
. for reiection of the bill, asserting
that Europe might go communist
despite American help and that
all we give in the way of aid
may eventually be used against
us."
Allen said that if the commun
ists take over France, Italy or
Austria the three countries,
along with China, that would
benefit under the house bill
industries built with '.American
money might "be used ;to manu
facture the implements of war
for Russia to use against us."

NUERNBERG, Germany, Dec. 4.
-TV A United States military tri
bunal, concluding a unique case of

The former state secretaries,
prosecutors and judges found

served as vassals of Hitler and
had helped destroy the indepen
dence and impartiality of Ger
man courts. They were all given
prison terms. Some of the defend
ants once had been connected
"with the nazi's ruthless "people's
court."
In its judgment the tribunal,
headed by Judge James T. Brand,
on leave of absence from the Ore
gon supreme court, declared the
defendants convicted were char
ged ""with criminal participation
in governmentally organized atro
cities and persecutions unmatch
ed m the annals of history."

Scrubwoman
In Portland
Heir to Estate
PORTLAND, Dee. 4 - (TP) - A
slight, 89-year-old woman contin
ued scrubbing and cleaning in an
office building here tonight al
though she knew she had been
named heir to an estate of $25,
000. Mrs. Amelia Bowman Dean, a
cleaning woman for 28 years, was
named sole beneficiary of the es
tate of David D. Clem, Portland,
who died Nov. 15.
The news made little impres
sion. She put on her coat and
went to work, commenting, Til
quit when I get the money."
Says She's Tired
Later she stopped mopping and
told reporters wistfully. "Since
I've found this out, I've found out
I was tired." ,
Court attaches estimated pro
bating of the will, in which Mrs.
Dean receives Clem's house and
the income from the $25,000 trust
fund, would take several months.
Clem had been a friend for 80
years of Mrs. Dean and her hus
band, who died six months ago.
Hospital te Get Money
The will specified that with
Mrs. Dean's death the trust will
terminate and the Oregon State
hospital In Salem will receive
$10,000 with the rest of the es
tate being divided equally among
Mrs. Dean's son, William Dean,
jr.. New York City; and Mrs. M.
Porth, Portland, and Mrs. June
Ann Barnes, Portland.
Another inheritance is pending
for Mrs. Dean. Her husband, who
died without a will, left an estate
of about $8,500. She expects to
receive the family home as her
portion . soon.

executive committees of th.
small but influential republican
party and the anti-communist la

be represented if the premier can
overcome the objections of the
other parties, it was said.
If all four of the small parties
line up behind De Gasperi they
would add 135 votes in the con
stituent assembly to his Chris
tian Democrats' 207. The com
munist and pro-communist so
cialists, who were dropped from
the government last May, mus
ter 170 to 175 votes.

Russia was paid In full in Amer
lean dollars for 500,000 tons of
wheat and barley she sent to
France last year as "a gift"
Not only was Russia paid. An-
dresen said, but she was paid at
prevailing United States prices.
the United States footed the
shipping bill and 70 per cent of
the grain was carried in Ameri

credit at all.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4Wjp-Or
ganizations named in the govern
ment's official list of "totalitar
ian. fascist, communist or subver
sive groups replied tonight with
statements denying they fitted
any of the categories.
The Rev. William H. Nelish,
chairman of the national council
of American - Soviet friendship.
said the body was "prepared to
fight through the courts any such
imputation of our loyalty.'
Dr. Edward Barsky, head of the
joint anti-fascist refugee commit
tee, declared:
"It is a shocking thing that the
attorney general of the United
Mates snould characterize a
charitable organization such as
ours as totalitarian, 'fascist, com
munist or subversive.' The joint
anti-fascist refugee committee is
a f humaritarian ornization and
neips the victims of the war
against Franco and fascism."
Jack Bjoze, executive secretary
of, th. veterans of th. Abraham
Lincoln brigade, said "we lost 1,
800 men fighting fascism in Spain
because it threatened American
peace. We have continued and
will continue to fight fascism
whenever it appears. Attorney
General Clark's action Is a big
step toward fascism her. in Am
erica. He is beginning to smell
like Franco to us."
