Hurler charged that:

for five years "kept the people

theft of top secret documents by
officials of the state -department
who sold or gave them , to pro-
communists, l
2. Service and "several, asso
ciates both in and out of the for
eign service in China" supplied
General Mao Tse-tung with se
cret Information and "advised
them" how to defeat the American
policy in China.
3. Testimony before a senate
committee to the effect that Serv

was "correct, but only a secondary
objective of that group."
Secret Testimony .
4. Three different "star-cham

cret testimony at Washington at
the present time on the Amer

3. State department officials
and American Chinese embassy
officials in China were "instru

agreement by which the American
policy in China was destroyed;
Kussia was permmea to viojaie
the territorial integrity of China
and the secret agreement const!
tuted the blueprint for the com

Keslgned as Ambassador , ',
The retired major general, who
resigned as ambassador in China
In 1945 with the first blast at the
state department, said one of the
documents "that was given by Mr.
Service to the communists was a
report written by himself and
dated 10 October 1944.
"At that time Mr. Service well
knew the policy of the United
States In China but wrote a re
port which, if made effective,
would have caused the collapse of
the national government of the
republic of China, which I was
directed to uphold, and would
have destroyed the leadership of
Chiang Kai-shek, which I was
directed to maintain.
There were two other docu
ments that of my own personal
knowledge were passed to the
communists by someone in the
American foreign service." '

unity and doubt" when unity is
vital In the free world, here and
aoroaa.

the communist world starts to
crack It can disintegrate very rap

Pageant Slates
Final 1950
Show Tonight
Salem's Pageant of Progress
will be given its final perform
ance tonight at the state fair
grounds, as windup of the 1950
Cherrvland festival.

gave the spectators a few mom
ents excitement, but nobody was
injured.
Pageant and festival association
officials Joined Tuesday in words
of high praise for the big cast of
Salem townspeople whose volun
teer service "made the show I
success." Men, women and chil
dren in the cast were ail set to
perform last Thursday when wet
grounds caused postponement.
Then they were stormed out Fri

not interfere with the elaborate
production.
1 Sidney L. Stevens, festival as
soclation president reported Tues
day that the festival would show
a profit this year. Inasmuch as
ticket sales for the pageant ai
ready had met expenses.
Estimates of attendance have
been made difficult by the ex

use of tickets occasioned by post
ponement of the performances. .
British Beer
Mak
ers to
Visit Oregon
LONDON,1 June 20-(P)-The
British are going to America for
tifj on how to save money in
making their beer.
, The Anglo-American council on
productivity said a team from the
British hops industry will sail for
New York Saturday.
The team will tour the United
States and Canada on 1 Marshall
plan money, the council said, to
study the methods which enable
growers to produce hops at "con
siderably less cost than in Eng
land." The council sponsors such
junkets in the hope British indus
tries may learn something useful
in their production drive.
In tUs country hops are picked
by hand by city people out to
make a few extra pennies. In Am
erica, much of the picking is by
machines and regular farm help.
The team will visit California,
Oregon, Washington and British
Columbia.

Party Leader
Quote Shakes
Ohio Demos
COLUMBUS. O- June 20-MV
Ohio democrats were stunned to
day by a hint that their party
leader Gov. Frank J. Lausche
might vote for the republican sen
ator, Robert A. Taft.
Lausche in a shockingly frank
statement didn't say he would;
but he didn't say he wouldn't
He told newsmen in White sul
phur Spring, W. Va., that "my
o on oral rfisnfttition would be to
vote for the democratic candidate
for U. S. senator," Joseph T. Fer
guson. Then he added:
"I yrfu vote, when I determine
the issues, for the candidate I be
lieve will serve the nation nest.
If I decide that candidate is Fer
guson. I will vote for him. If I
belive it is Taft, I will vote for
him. I will not allow my parry
interest to overcome my interest
In ttit country "
. Everybody granted that Gover
nor Lausche is privileged to vote
for whom he pleases.
But in the ooinion of democra
tie nartv workers, striving to elect
11 their candidates, Lausche's
position amounted to sheer poll
tical heresy.
And fnr such words to come
from their titular state leader, who
nsldnff them to eive him a third
term as governor why it is Just
unthinkable!
At White Sulphur Springs,
T-ancrhp tonight shrueeed off thin
ly-veiled democratic criticism of
his hint that he mignt support
Taft for re-eiecnon.
At the same time. Lausche made
it plain in remarks to a reporter
that he intends to keep comusea
for some time to come everybody
in Dhin and elsewhere who is in
terested in his unorthodox state
ment that he might not vote for
Veriisnn.
Th Tjuisrhe statement droDDed
like a bomb on a conference of
national and state democratic
leaders in Columbus. The meet
tntf wax called for the exDress
purpose of helping Ferguson beat
Taft in the wov. i election.
Ferguson himself, the fiery state
auditor whn is noted for sizzling
political potshots, for once had no
comeoacK at least not zor jau
Vfa .ist declared; "I'm still e ey
ing to beat Taft by 250,000 votes."
Labor leaders, meeting witn tne
"democrats to help drive the Taft
Hartlev ct co-author out of the
senate, tersely remarked: "No
comment" They included Jack
Kroll, national chairman of the
cm TVditirvnl action committee.
Today, Taft was asked in Wash
ington how he interpreted Lau
sche's White Sulphur Springs
srtaterhent-
The senator grinned and re
plied: "I'm not interpreting, mat s
the newspapers' job."
Circus Tent
Blown Down
At Kennewick
KENEWICK, Wash., June 20-UP)-A
wind storm blew down the
entrance tent at the Clyde Beatty
circus tonight and set support
poles of the Big Top to bobbing
around.
The circus immediately can
celled the rest of the performance,
although there were no serious
injuries. Three persons were given
first aid treatment, then released.
Ten-year-old Oick Waldrop suf
fered a scalp cut but a bystandre
saved him from serious injury,
grabbing him from under a pole
before it could fal on him. Charles
Nicholson, about 70, Kennewick,
suffered head cuts, and Mrs. O.
E. Bauman, Pasco, leg bruises.

Maintenance
Of Plywood
Tariff Asked
WASHINGTON. June 20-MPV-
Rep. Scudder (R-Calif ) urged Un
ited States trade treaty negotiators
today to maintain present tariff
evels on plywood imports.
Plywood manufacturing has be
come an important industry in
California, Oregon and Washing
ton, Scudder said in a statement
submitted to the committee for
reciprocity information.
United States production costs
are 41 per cent higher than in
Canada, the chief competitor of the
American plywood industry, he
said.
Without tariff protection, he
said, foreign producers could un
dersell American plywood plants
and force them to reduce or halt
their operations, throwing thou
sands of men out of work.
The American douglas fir ply
wood industry, he added, has the
capacity to produce far in excess
of American requirements. '
