old Woodstock typewriter and an
odd job man who said HLs cave
it to him in 1936 and that it
stayed in his family until about
1911. . . '
The government contends Hiss
jised an old Woodstock in 1937
and 1938 to copy state department
ecrets (or Whittaker Chambers,
act f -st. vied former courier for a
prewar Soviet -spy ring.
Spectators chuckled at times as
they watched the thret judges
especially the dapper,' bow-tied
Frankfurt fence with attor
neys like any other witness be
fore an American court.
Frankfurter, who sent Hiss to
Washington in 1929 from the cam
pus of the Harvard law school.
said it was his fiirt appearance
as a character witness in his
many years in the law.
Asked to describe Hiss' char
acter, Justice Frankfurter replied
"I would say it is excellent'
Justice Reed said he was U. S.
solicitor general in 1935 when
His became a special attorney
on his staff. His went to the
state department a year later,
remaining there until he left gov
ernment service after the war.
Reed aid that "so far as I
know" Hiss had a good reputa
tion. Judge Magruder said he was
on the faculty at Harvard 'aw
School when Hiss was a student.
"I not to know him very well
and he and I have been friends
ever since," Magruder testified.
The appeals judge said he never
heard any reference to Hiss as a
"communist or communist sympa
thizer" or that he stole state de
partment documents.

COLORADO i SPRINGS. Colo,
June 22 -4JPy- The nation's gov
ernors called tonight for speedy
senate approval of the North At
lantic pact, followed by implenv.
enting action to give It "full force
and effect"
Kansas' republican Gov. Frank;
Carlson was elected chairman,

ernors ended their 41st annual

The state executives gave indi
rect endorsement to the admin
istration's proposal to furnish pact
signers with $1,130,000,000 la
arms.
But the resolution, calling for
"continued support" of the United
Nations, an "adequately financed"
European recovery program and
pact approval, did not specifically
allude to the arms program.
It said merely that the pact
should be approved by the sen
ate "at the earliest possible time
and that necessary action should
likewise be taken to Implement
the pact and give it to full force
and effect."
In another resolution, the con
ference said it "heartily approves"
the basic objectives of government
reorganization, as proposed by the
Hoover commission.
They approved the usual resolu
tion calling for f statehood .for
Alaska and Hawaii.

ToReapportion
Legislature
EUGENE, Ore., June 22-WVThe
State Federation of Labor launch
ed an initiative move tonight to
reapportion the Oregon legislature.
A resolution at the annual state 1
convention directed the executive j
board to prepare the initiative1
measure for the 1950 election. It
would make mandatory a reappor
tionment, guided by population
shifts.
The resolution protested that the
legislature itself had defied, the
state constitution by refusing to
revise its membership after every
census.
A resolution aimed at a recently
proposed city income tax in Port
land was defeated. It opposed sales
taxes and the pyramiding of in
come taxes. Delegates rejected the
measure, however, after Eugene
Allen, chairman of the laws com
mittee, said new sources of reven
ue sometimes were needed and as
serted that delegates in a previous
resolution had expressed willing
ness to pay higher income taxes to
get rid of sales taxes.
Resolutions urging a shorter
work day and elimination of noise
in industry were approved.
A proposal Jo start a statewide
AFL newspaper provoked argu
ment on where the finances were
to come from. The matter was re
ferred to the executive board for
study.
The board also got for study a
nroDosal to change the primary
law sothat a voter would not be
bound by party lines.
Judith Coplon
Says Morals
Charge Frame
WASHINGTON. June 22-W
Judith Coplon cried out at her
espionage trial today that she Is
being "framed and that federal
prosecutors are seeking to Drana
me as a harlot"
In shrill fury, the former gov
ernment girl steadfastly defended
her morals and charged that the
man with whom she admittedly
held all-night trysts in Baltimore
and Philadelphia hotels is "part of
this whole frame-up."
Miss Coplon demanded that the
government put H. P. Shapiro, the
"other man" in her tangled love
life, on the witness stand. But
prosecutor John M. Kelley, Jr.
said that was up to her lawyer.
The dark-eyed little defendant
fought back at every turn as Kel
ley probed deeper into her testa
mony yesterday that she spent
nights with Shapiro, a bachelor
lawyer in the Justice department's
criminal division, at hotels and in
his Washington apartment.
?He didn't make any improper
advances, she declared. "I was
fully clothed."
Then, leaning forward in the
witness stand, she shouted:
"You have branded ; me as
spy and now you art trying to
brand me as a harlot.";

Showers Give
Eastern States
Drought Relief
By the Associated Press
Some relief developed Wednes
day in the northeast's June drought
and heat wave.
Showers fell in central, northern
and southeastern New York state.
They moved on parched New Jer
sey. Temperatures i were less ex
treme in New England and New
York after nearly a week of un
broken daytime peaks in the 90s.
Except for lowering tempera
tures, however, tinder dry Massa
chusetts found no relief in sight
Forecasters saw ho appreciable
rainfall there or in Rhode Island
and Connecticut for the next few
days.
Heavy rains fell in Maine Tues
day, and there were showers in
New Hampshire and Vermont, re
lieving conditions somewhat in
those states and lessing forest fire
danger.
The 23-day drought was declar
ed ended in many New York state
areas. However, bone dry areas re
mained in the extreme eastern and
western portions of the state and
in the metropolitan and Long Is
land areas.
New Jersey, which sweltered un
der a 93 degree high Tuesday, ex
pected lower temperatures and a
few scattered showers Wednesday
night But weather bureau and
agriculture officials feared the
showers wouldn't be heavy enough
to do much good.
The three-week drought in Mas
sachusetts caused millions of dol
lars damage to hay, vegetable and
tobacco crops.
The long dry spell was creating
a serious water shortage problem
in many Massachusetts localities.
Community reservoirs were getting
low and many farmers reported
their wells dry or running out

In Operation of
(Story also
WASHINGTON, June 22-W-Senator Millikin! (R-Colo.) tangled
with the Atomic Energy commission's general counsel, Joseph Volpe,
jr. today over a section of invitations the A EC and the General Elec
tric Co. issued to bid on commercial rights at Richland, Wash.
The disputed section, as read into the record,: provides that the
bidder will "abide by such rules
and the commission may Irom
time to time establish pertaining
to . . . the operation of the busi
ness, or the health, sanitation.
fire protection and safety of the
residents of Richland."
Millikin demanded to know
what the phrase "operation of the
business meant commenting that
such a provision does not exist
in private contracts.
"It means the bidder should
operate the business on a business-like
basis. Volpe replied.
"Why should they be permitted
to run on an unbusinesslike
basis?" Millikin asked.
Volpe said that would be "detri
mental" to the community, and
Millikin retorted this was an ad
mission that the A EC wanted to
control business.
Volpe said the A EC is trying
to get away from "controls" as
rapidly as possible, but he said:
"We can't do it overnight be
cause the government owns all
the houses and all the land."
Volpe denied that the A EC is
operating the business in the
town.
"Have you been doing any fas
cistic things out there?" Millikin
asked.
"Indeed, we are not," Volpe
said.
Senator Hickenlooper' told the
senate-house committee:
1. That the Du Pont company,
which formerly operated the Han
ford atomic plant at Richland,
once sent a corps of engineers to
Hanford at a cost of roughly $800,
000 to the government.
2. The manager of the Hanford
operation office, FredC. Schlem-
mer, could authorize up to $5,-
000,000 in contracts without con
sulting AEC headquarters in
Washington.
Hickenlooper touched only
briefly on these points and did not
elaborate.
The Iowa senator also fired
questions about the engineering
experience of Frank L. Creedon,
former U. S. housing expediter,
who is now a $36,000-a-year Gen
eral Electric co. official at Han
ford. Schlemmer said Creedon is man
ager of the GE design and con
struction department and is re
sponsible for all construction at
Hanford. including the building of
atomic piles or "ovens."
Production manager Williams
then told Hickenlooper that Cree
don has done "a masterful job of
expediting and organizing" at
Hanford.
Senator Millikin. asked Schlem
mer if the AEC's Washington of
fice had been kept "thoroughly
and currently" advised about the
skyrocketing cost of an AEC
schoolhouse at Hanford. Originally
estimated at less than $2,000,000,
the school cost the government
about $3,800,000.
"I couldn't say thoroughly ad
vised'," Schlemmer replied, "but
