Taft Sees
Shift in
Policies
WASHINGTON, May 20-(P)-
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) declared
today that the Truman adminis
tration has adopted "practically all
the features" of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's far eastern war program
that the republicans have been
urging.
He said the state department
now seems willing to promote rev
olution against the Chinese com
munist regime.
Taft's statements about reversal
of policy brought a heated denial
from Senator McMahon (D-Conn)
He contended that the administra
tion has followed a consistent
course in the Korean war, chang
ing it only to meet altered circum
stances.
Taft, chairman of the senate's
republican policy committee, en
gaged in a table-pounding televis
ion debate (NBC's "American
Forum of the Air") with Mc
Mahon on the eve of Gen. Omar
N. Bradley's return to the witness
stand in the senate hearings on
MacArthur's ouster as far eastern
commander.
Since MacArthur's dismissal last
month, Taft said, "The adminis
tration was come around to prac
tically .all the features Tf his pol
icy that the Republicans have
been urging.
The Ohio senator said 4 Friday
night's speech by Dean Rusk, as
sistant secretary of state for far
eastern affairs, "practically said,
'Now, we are against Chinese com
munism and we re going to pro
mote revolution against Chinese
communism'."
"That's an absolute reversal of
the state departments's position,"
Taft declared. "
A viewpoint similar to Taft's
was expressed by Senator Brew
ster (R-Me), who said the admin
istration "while putting up quite
a din of opposition, has been re
treating under that smokescreen
very close to the MacArthur line."
Call for Berry
Pickers Due in
Coming Week
Farm labor needs will pick up
in the Salem area this week when
first strawberry pickers are called
to some fields, it was reported
over the week end by Claude
Litchfield.
Although the main harvest is not
due for two weeks, this early pick
ing may draw from the available
supply of bean workers, said the
farm placement representative for
the Salem employment office. Bean
workers will start setting trellises
for training in some yards within
a few days. -
By the time of peak strawberry
picking, the youth platoons organ
ized by the state employment serv
ice will be available. Sixth grad
ers for the first time are being
called for work in the groups.
Groups are organized varying, in
size from about 20 to 70 young
sters under platoon leaders with
several years' experience in such
work. Six or eight more qualified
leaders are needed for strawber
ries, Litchfield said.
Army Has Use
For Unwanted
Artillery Shell
DETROIT, May 20 - WVThis Is
the happy story of a 155-mm ar
tillery shell that nobody, appar
ently, wanted.
The shell was found the. other
day behind a foundry In subur
ban Wayne by 14-year-old Larry
Bills. "
He lugged it home proudly to
his dad, Donald.
Bills nearly jumped out of his
skin. The shell, he saw, was very
much alive, all 70 pounds of IL
He called Wayne police. They
told him to dump the shell in the
river, but. not to bring it to the
station. They wanted no part of it.
For a couple of days. Bills left
the shell alonfe. Then be loaded it
up on a pickup truck and took lt
to the Wayne county (sheriffs)
road patroL
"They told me to get that thing
out of there. They said take lt to
the state police or somewhere but
donV leave it here, " he said.
I started to drive to the state
police post and then I figured,
'If everyone is scared of this thing,
what am I doing driving around
with It?' So I dumped it."
- The place happened to be near
the Wayne County General hospi
tal, where the shell -was discov
ered later, amid much furore. Po
lice hunted the person who had
left It there.
Bills finally came forward to
explain that it wasnt a plot to
blow up the hospital and just
how be happened to have the
shell.
The' army finally claimed the
shelly hinting that maybe It could
be of use in Korea and the case
was closed. 1

Four thousand Germans from the

through communist police lines
and frontier barricades today to

Germany and enjoy a spree In Ba

For many, accustomed to j the

ing home. - j -j
The breakthrough occurred at
Hoenbach near Sonneberg, in the
Soviet zone state of Thuringia. Big
crowds had gathered there for a
music festival and rumors spread
that the Russians would open- the
frontiers to the i West for the hol-
day as they once did in 1949.
When these reports proved false.
the East Germans took matters in
their own hands and broke through
cordons of communist People s
police" at the frontier and stream
ed into American-occupied Bav
aria at Wildenheid and Neustadt,
near here.
The food-rationed East Germans
rushed for the restaurants and
pubs and loaded up even though
they had to trade five of their East
marks against ) one West mark.
(Nominally the two currencies are
at parity).
American constabulary aided
Bavarian police in restoring border
controls and rounding up the East

home.

U.S. Quotes Stalin in Rejecting

POINT-OF-THE-MOUNTAIN, Utah, May io-iSHot-tem-.
pered inmates of the Utah state prison overpowered six guards
and rioted today, smashing furniture, windows' and equipment.
More than 200 of the 532 inmates jumped into the orgy for
several hours until a truce brought order back and returned
prisoners to their cells early tonight. I -
The rioters released all inmates i
of death row. But locked doors at
the ends of corridors of cellhouses
prevented escapes by the docmed
men or other inmates.
Some four hours after the trou
ble began,'- the four guards still
held were released. The two other
hostages had escaped ' through
windows. ;
The truce and release of Ihe
guards were effected by six pris
oner spokesmen who complained
to authorities that some of the
prison officials had been unfair,
One . of the spokesmen, Nubern
Keith, told 'officials the trouble
started after three convicts were
punished for causing a commotion
in church today. The three were
put in semi-solitary confinement.
A rumor got around, Keith said,
that the three men were being
punished for a mild riot over food
last Friday night. He said the in
mates became bitter. Warden Al-
vin O. Severson explained to the
spokesmen and officials who were
holding" a hurriedly called hearing
to receive complaints, that the trio
was segregated for the church
disturbance.
To Study Complaint
The footers began moving back
to their cells. With them went as
surances from their spokesmen
that officials and. the state board
of corrections had agreed their
complaints of partiality would be
studied.
The four guards released were
Joseph Mitchell, Eddie Nelson,
Leonard Jewkes and Leroy Cox.
The guards who escaped earlier
were Weston H. Haslam and
Franklin E. Holliday.
One prison source reported some
inmates got Into the prison hos
pital and presumably had access
to narcotics and other medical
supplies. 4 (
No escapes by inmates had. been
reported several hours after the
outbreak started.
As the conference with the pris
oners spokesmen opened the noise
and milling quieted. Warden Sev
erson called reporters in to hear
the prisoners complaints. A re
cording of the conversations was
made.
John Dugan, chairman and Les
lie Bur bidge, members of the state
board of correction, joined the
open hearing in the administra
tion building.
Charges Partiality
An inmate rose and said he was
Red Noble, chairman of the con
victs delegation. Noble charged
three prison officials with par
tiality. He named them as Deputy
Warden James H. Davis, Captain
H. B. Smart and Wallace Ostler,
a steward.
Noble praised Warden Severson.
"The warden has showed only
fairness," said the convictv
Other prisoners In turn gave
their accounts.
The rioting began when the
prisoners were brought In for
lockup before their evening meal
They refused to go Into" the cell
blocks. ,
More than 200 officers, armed
with full equipment from the
modern police arsenal, patrolled
the prison.
Police cars, parked 15 to 20 feet
apart, ringed the double fenced
enclosure. The officers carried
rifles, shotguns, pistols, tear gas
and riot guns.
