The senate is not a grana jury. n6ne of its committees are grand Juries," Barkley told the chamber. "If there is revealed on the part of a public official any mis conduct which would Justify pro ceedings of impeachment, such Eroceedings must originate in the ouse of representatives. They cannot originate in the senate." As Presiding Officer ) The vice president spoke out in his role as the senate's presiding officer, in assigning a committee to study a resolution by 21 repub lican' senators demanding a sepa rate investigation of the justice de partment's handling of the Amer asia case, v Some republican critics have complained there has been a "cover up" and a "whitewash" of the five-year-old case, which re sulted in no prison-term con victions. tfJ One republican Senator Know land of California, had mentioned possible impeachment action in a senate speech two weeks' ago. Barkley sent the GOP resolu tion. Introduced by Senator Cape hart (R-Ind), to the senate Judic iary committee and left it up to that group to decide whether a new inquiry is warranted. Expresses Opposition - 4 Chairman McCarran (D-Nev) has already indicated he does not favor a new investigation. McCarran wrote Senator Fer guson (R-Mich) on May 17 that he could see "no point in multi plying congressional Investigations of a single subject matter." A senate foreign relations sub committee headed by Senator Tydings (D-Md) has been con ducting closed-door hearings for weeks on the Amerasia episode. The case centered on the illegal removal of hundreds of secret government documents which fed eral agents found in the New York offices of Amerasia magazine. Only two of six defendants in the case were punished. Amer asia's editor, Philip Jaffe, paid $2,500. Chairman Tydings told the sen ate today that his inquiry com mittee "has not been asleep" on the Amerasia case. Asked by Capehart why the hearings are coucted in secret, Tydings re plied: , "If it could be proved that Jaffe passed on information to a foreign agency, we could take his life. "We are trying! to find all the culprits We can't put them on notice from day to day by pub lishing vital information." Tydings' reference to Jaffe's "life" was based on the fact that the wartime penalty for espionage is death. Technically, the United States still is at war. 1 Three young Salem area resi dents were- injured about 9:15 p, m.

Wash- June 19 -UP)- There Is no doubt that 18- year-old Jo Ann Dewey underwent a sex attack the night she was kidnapped, then slain, a state witness testified today. . Dr. Howard Richardson, Oregon State criminologist, told a jury in the trial of brothers Utah and Turman Wilson on charges of kid- naDDing and murder that medical examination of the girl's body proved tne point. Colorado boasts the , highest transcontinental railroad route in North America at Marshall Pass, 10.848 feet altitude, where the Rio Grande railroad crosses the Con tinental Divide. Usinsr microsconie slides, be ex plained how the evidence of male sperm was found, and added these was evidence also of sodomy. The eixl was grabbed off a darx street here March 19, and carried off in an automobile. Her nude body was found a week later. The defense attorney for 20 y ear-old Utah and 24-year-old Turman scored one damaging point against the state's case, though. Until now, state evidence has Indicated the girl was carried away in a Buick sedan. The Wil son brothers were known to have been driving such a car that night. Richardson testified that the gh-L slugged by her abductors. suffered one head wound that would have bled constantly. Asks If Car Stained In cross-examination defense at torney Irvin Goodman scored his point He asserted the blood would have stained the get-away car, and then asked Richardson what ex amination of the Wilson brothers Buick had shown. Richardson admitted that a painstaking examination showed no blood stains, nor any other m criminating evidence. The state had a counter-point. though, introducing evidence on still another car. This machine, like the Buick, was registered to Grant Wilson, a brother of the two on trial, and available for use by Utah and Turman. Hairs in Trunk Richardson testified three hairs found in th trunk of the car, another on tne Dumper, au were of the same texture and color as Jo Ann's. The granular con struction was similar, too, he said. Grant earlier had testified th car had not been in use for some time in March. He sold it on March 24. five days after the girl was kidnapped. , Richardson also testified that the girl died within two hours of her abduction at about 11:15- pan. He said carbon monoxide poison kill ed her. Earlier prosecutor DeWitt Jones said the girl possibly breath' ed exhaust fumes from a car, while being carried away in a trunk or rear seat of the vehicle. In Tnrman's Handwriting Max X Alford, an Oregon state police handwriting expert, also testified on a letter mailed at Sac ramento, where the brothers, were arrested March 30.' He said it was in Turman's handwriting. Addressed to Ted E. Davis, of were SING COIBM' HIGH TT 0 IBSgQuGt-j IIET7 TODAY!
