Expert
Arrested
Apparently the arrest took place
In a cloak-and-dagger, pre-dawn
' rendezvous between Mexican and
TTnitMi States officers along the
border. The FBI surrounded the
arrest with extraoroinary secrecy.
Asenta would not lay where,
when or how Sobell was arrested.
Sobell was booked in the Webb
county jail here at 2:43 am. FDT.
-Four FBI agents brought him In.
Me had not shaved for days and
his hair was awry. At his hear
ing before U. S- Commissioner
Frank Y. HilL he wore a dark
green sports shirt and brown
trousers. .
The stocky, 33-year-cld .electri
cal engineer made no plea. He
waived removal proceedings and
indicated ' he wanted to be re

Sobell was the eighth Ameri
can rounded up and charged with
passing defense secrets to Rus
sia. Allegedly the key men were
Dr. Klaus Fuchs, now serving a
, 14-year prison term in Britain for
atomic spying, and Harry Gold,
Philadelphia chemist. Gold is sus-
, pected of being the chief contact
lor Dr. Fuchs.
The FBI in Washington told his
cbain of events:
Sobell failed to show up for
work at the Reeves Instrument
company in New York the day
after the arrest of David Green
glass, a spy suspect, June 16 Jul
ius Rosenberg, another person
charged in the case, had attempted
to persuade Greenglass to flee to
Mexico.
The FBI discovered that Sobell
flew to Mexico City June 22. FBI
Director J. Edgar Hoover said
Sobell fled to escape arrest
Apparently Mrs. Sobell and
their two children joined him in
Mexico. She and the children
were discovered at the Hamilton
hotel here shortly after Sobell
was booked. The FBI had listed
her home address as Flushing.

Federal Road
Spending Bill
- WASHINGTON, Aug. lMVA
federal road spending bill was
slashed 8250,000,000 today at Pres
ident Truman's insistence, and a
deeper cut will be attempted.
The senate public works com
mittee lopped the sum of funds to
be authorized for two years ending
June 30, 1953. The revised figure

would include several in Oregon.)
On the senate floor. Senator
Douglas (D-I1L) then announced
he would offer an amendment to
cut the two-year total to $820,000,
000. or $310,000,000 a year.
The bin comes to a vote next
Tuesday but it got a fast workout
today. Senator Morse (R - Ore.)
kicked up a furore when he charg
ed that it was a "grab bag for
some southern states" to get feder
al funds for county roads.
Senator McClellan (D Ark) caU
ed this a "slurring remark." Morse
replied that he spoke the facts. Me
Clellan shot back that it doesn't
apply to Arkansas.
Douglas joined in the debate to
accuse the south, southwest and
west of ganging up for a larger
share of the road money at expense
of industrial states. He said their
device was the allocation formula.
As passed by the houM, the for
mula for handing out the money
was based on population only. The
senate bill contains factors of po
pulation, state areas and mileage
of rural man routes.

Brother Seeks
Release at Pen
MEDFORD. Aug. 18 -(AV Hugh
DeAutremont. one of the nation's
most notorious murderers and train
robbers, : is seeking his freedom
from the Oregon state penitentiary.
He was the youngest of three
brothers convicted of killing a
Southern Pacific trainman during
a robbery attempt south of Ash
land in 1923. All are serving life
sentences in prison. . . I
Oppeses Proposal 1
George Neilson, Jackson county
district attorney, said he was op
posed to freedom tor me man. ne
insisted that he would press for
his trial on three pending murder
charges and an attempted mall
robbery charge if he is freed. De
Autremont has applied for parole.
and his application has been ac
cepted for consideration. The other
brothers, Roy and Ray, twins, have
not applied.
Three trainmen were shot and
killed and a mail clerk was blown
to bits by dynamite in the attempt
ed robbery. The Southern Pacific
passenger train naa stoppea.to tesx
its brakes at the north portal -of
the Siskiyou tunnel. Two men
boarded the train as it started. The
locomotive had just emerged from
the tunnel when the explosion oc
curred. The engineer, fireman and
a brakeman were shot, and a mail
clerk was blown to bits.
Fled Without Loot
The robbers fled without loot
Then started a worldwide man
hunt. Huge rewards were posted.
Four years later a soldier station
ed in Manila boasted to another
soldier that he knew ail about the
Siskiyou tunnel affair. It develop
ed that the soldier was Hugh, serv
ing under another name.
He was brought to Medford to
stand trial on a charge of killing
one of the four trainmen. Charles
O. Johnson, brakeman. His bro
thers had been arrested in Ohio.
On the last day of the trial, after
closing arguments were in, Roy
and Ray pleaded guilty on the
understanding that they would be
given life sentences, not executed.
Two of the brothers boarded the
train, and the third was implicated
as an accomDlice. i
The case was prosecuted by
Georse Neuner. present Oregon at

failed to come up in the commit
tee, which wound up a three-day
meeting. Among other things, he
proposed a condemnation of ag
gression "from whatever source
and by whatever country and
accused North Korea of aggres
sive war. '- ": .
Welcomes Peace Moves
Without mentioning the United
States, Soviet Russia or North
Korea, the committee said it was
against aggression "wherever it
may occur" and welcomed peace-
ul . moves to stop the Korean
war. Rogge abstained in voting
on the resolution, which all the
other delegates favored.
Rogge is a New York lawyer, a
member of the progressive party's
national executive committee and
former assistant United States
attorney general.
He told a news conference he
gave his resolutions to Prof. Fred
eric Joliot-Curie, French atomic
scientist, Wednesday' night and
asked to be heard on them, but
they never were presented to the
committee. Joliot-Curie, a commu
nist who was dismissed April 28
as chief of France's atomic energy
commission, was not at the news
conference. -
"Toe Late fer Action
Soviet "journalist Hya Ehren-
burg, who was among the 40 or
so persons at the committee meet
ing, said he had been talking with
Rogge about the resolutions, but
they came too late for action.
The committee's call contained
these points, among others;
l "The defenders of peace.
while vigorously continuing their
campaign for the banning of atom-
c weapons, at the same time de
clare their support for general
reduction,1 under control, of every
form of armament.''
2 They "declare themselves
against aggression wherever it
may occur. They condemn foreign
intervention by force of arms in
the internal affairs of any people.
They, can for the ending of such
intervention wherever it has taken
place."
3 They "support all peaceful
moves already undertaken to stop
the war in Korea," demand the
withdrawal of foreign (American)
troops and "vigorously denounce
the mass bombardments that have
made victims of the civilian popu
lations." (In several respects, notably In
the demand for withdrawal of
U. S. troops and an end to air ac
tion against North Korea, the reso
lution follows the Kremlin line
as laid down by the Moscow radio
and Russia's security council dele
gate, Jakob Malik.) :

Crop Harvest
Frunes can be harvested for $3
a ton with catching trays and field
cleaners. W. R. Berndt told grow
ers of the Keizer region Friday. -He
got his crop off the trees and
into boxes, ready for the canneries,
for- that figure, he said.
His trays are made of light
weight welded pipe for frames,
with hop sacking covers. They are
mounted on wheels. The trays are
moved under the trees, and pole
shakers dislodge the fruit. Tractor
shakers also could be used.
The prunes dronped into the
frames and passed through an
opening into boxes. Then they
were put through a field cleaner
to remove leaves, twigs and small
prunes. An air blast was used.
Higher quality fruit resulted,
Berndt said. It showed no dirt, and
a very low percentage of brown
rot, skin cracks, stem punctures
and bruises.
