French Police,
Strikers Stage
4-Hour Battle
PARIS, Sept 15 -OP)- More
than 100 police and SO workers
were injured in four hours of
street fighting today when 90,000
aviation, automobile and steel In
dustry workers went on strike.
While a communist spokesman
for the general confederation of
labor was telling Renault auto
mobile workers to "strike until
victory," the French franc sank
" to a new low and Premier Henri
Queuille hastily called a news
conference to deny his govern
ment planned, drastic monetary
steps.
. The fighting broke out when a
crowd of 4.500 aviation workers
marched down the Boulevard
Haussman protesting the dismiss
al of 1,700 employes of the na
tional aviation industry.
The workers demanded a meet
ing with company representa
tives and the fight started over
whether or not the labor dele
gation should have a police
eort Pushing and shoving led to
fist fighting. In a few minutes
the air was filled with paving
stones and anything else on
which the rioters could get their
hands.
The strikers pulled up iron grill
work around the trees, broke it
into bars and began hurling the
formidable missiles. Police used
night sticks and fists.
Fifteen of the police were ser
iously Injured before reinforce
ments increased the steel-helmet
ed police and mobile guardsmen
to about 2,000.

Governor Agrees to Issue Reply to Freck in
Statement; Hearing Airs Misconduct Charge
By Wend eU Webb
Managing Editor. The Statesman
Strong objection to Gov John
Halls refusal to entertain testl
mony against himself highlighted
a comparatively fruitless hearing
Wednesday for Joseph O. Freck,
r.. deposed liquor commissioner,
Freck, charged with misconduct
and inefficiency, sought both to
answer those charges and to prove
they were a "screen to ; cover
Hall's anger at Freck's refusal to

Salem Highest
In Placement
Of Farm Labor
The Salem office of the ; state
employment service placed:, more
seasonal farm laborers on! , jobs
last month than any other office
in the state. I
Bean and hop harvests boosted
the placements to 6,882 in Marion
county, the state unemployment
compensation commission reported
Wednesday. Albany came next
with 3.510.
So far this year Marion county
has placed 24,371 seasonal work
ers in J&bs second highest in the
state. In Industrial job placements,
however, this county ranks third
with 3,134 workers placed: since
January. Portland and Eugene
offices are first and second.
The number of industrial work
ers placed on jobs here so far this
year is 6 per cent less than for
the same period last year. No com
parison can be made on farm
placements, the commission re
ported, because this is the first
year since 1941 that the state has

to Permit Frreclk
Countercharges
on
of Freck's written answer and "of
fer of; proof," but said only those
portions "pertinent" to his charges
against: Freck would remain in
the record.
Ne Demonstration
The hearing, in the pine-panelled
board of control room at the
statehpuse, attracted less than 30
observers. There was no demon
stration and, but for a couple of
isolated instances, there was
friendliness even if forced. The
proceedings were In- accordance
with state law giving a deposed
commissioner a chance to defend
himself before the governor, who
is sole ' judge, juror and execu
tioner, I
The hearing centered on two
questions in the public mind:
Did Freck, Portland stationer,
profit unduly or illegally by $8,000
worth of purchases from his store,
and was $1,240 too much per
diem pay; ($10 per day) for him to
have collected since Hall appoint
ed him last November?
Motive Questioned
Or did Hall fire Freck because
he refused to purchase 30,000 cases
of two-year-old blend from a
company ; which reportedly had
agreed to retain Hall as attorney
after his present term as governor?
To the first question, Freck
answered "no" to both parts.
To the second question. Hall in
effect said he would answer, later.
On actual testimony at the hear
ing, "there were two major clashes.
A. ft. Wysong, assistant pur
chasing agent for the state board
of. control, testified that an in
vestigation showed his office
could have bought for $3,200 the
400,000 cellophane liquor-license
holders for which the purchasing
department of the liquor commis
sion paid Freck's company $5,200.
Contradictory Testimony
In contradiction, Esther Carri-
gan, assistant to the liquor com
mission's purchasing agent, testi
fied that the lowest bid other than
Freckfs company was $5,600 by
the JJ K. Gill firm, and added that
Freck never tried to Influence
such purchases.
The other clash was between
Freck and Assistant Attorney Gen
eral John K. Crowe as to whether
Crowe,: Who Is assigned to the
liquor commission, ever told Freck
that State laws, barring officials
from i participating in state con
tracts; did not apply to liquor
commissioners except regarding
the purchase of liquor. Freck said
Crowe so advised him. Crowe said
he could; not recall ever doing so.
Telephoned Hall
Crowe also testified that on
August 27, the day after a liquor
commission meeting at. which
Hall's purported request for the
liquor-purchase had been aired,
he (Crowe) had 'phoned Hall
about the $5,200 license-card hold
ers because he thought something
might be wrong. It was four
days later that Hall asked Freck's
resignation.
Wysong and Crowe were the
only ! witnesses called by Hall.
Miss jCafrigan was the only one
called by Freck.
Inventory 'Excessive
Freck, testifying briefly just be
fore the hearing ended, said he
had; found an "excessive" inven
tory of $17,000,000 when he went
on the commission, and that he
thought "we did a pretty darn
good! job by whittling it down
to $12,000,000 In six months.
He said it was his work on the
inventory, as well as the fact that
he was the only commissioner re
siding In Portland, which led him
to spend considerable time at the
commission offices and thus col
lect the $1,240 per diem. He also
testified that Hall on August 18
had told him "you inherited it (the
inventory); let the next fellow
have: it"
Officer States Doubted
Bernard, Freck's attorney, died
Scene 'Gloomy
several cases designed to show
that Freck was not a state officer
under the constitutional provision
barring the entering of state con
tracts.
lne attorney also touched on
the question of the legality of the
liquor commission. He said by
law the legislature is empowered
to create state offices for terms of
four years or less, and that liquor
commissioners are appointed 'for
six years.
.Witnesses were not sworn at the
hearing, Hall declaring there was
no legal provision for such action.

misconduct because he charged
that U. S. security was menaced

Robert C. Alexander, assistant

fired or otherwise disciplined. Dis

The announcement added em

pressed at a news conference
earlier in the day.
Things are so uncertain, Mar
shall said, that he had no idea
how long he would remain at

mer British Foreign Minister An

He told parliament it was a

civil wars everywhere and "no
one can see the end of it."
Anthony Eden, the conserva
tive party spokesman, pointed to
communist uprisings in Malaya
and Burma as "part of a plan
end recalled that Lenin referred
to southeast Asia as the "back
door of capitalist and imperialist
power."
Bevin told a tense and some
times turbulent house of com
mons that the scheme for stirring
up civil war was an instrument
of foreign policy, and that If it
continues "then no one can ee
the end to which it may lead the
nations who are promoting It."

Anti-Trust Suit
Aimed at Major
Meat Packers
CHICAGO, Sept. 15 -UP)- The
government fired anti-trust
charges at the country's four ma
jor meat packers today in a shot

said, have resulted in higher meat
prices to consumers.
The packers denied the charges.

called the suit an attempt to
"shift responsibility for inflatiofP

panies refrained from competing
with each other in the purchase of
livestock and the sale of meat.
