Russia Asks
West to Speed
German Treaty
LONDON (JP) Russia asked the
Big Three Western powers Mon
day night to speed up a peace
treaty with Germany, the Mos
cow radio announced early Tues
day. Notes proposing that the peace
treaty be accelerated were handed
to envoys of the U.S., Britain and
France in Moscow by Soviet dep
uty foreign minister Andrei A.
G romyko.
The Russian notes declared the
treaty "must be worked out with
the direct participation of Ger
many in the form of ah all-German
government.
"It follows from this that the
U.S.S.R., United States, Britain
and France, which are fulfilling
control functions in Germany, also
discuss conditions conducive for
the speediest formation of an all
German government expressing
the will of the German people."
Russia proposed that the Big
Four powers begin discussions on
the German treaty "without de
lay" and then, after drafting it,
submit it to a conference of all
interested states.
Attempt to Dig
JThrough Wall
0f Jail Foiled
A Marion County jail escape
attempt was foiled Monday after
noon when a small hole was found
dug through the masonry.
Sheriff Denver Young said he
thought two or three prisoners
who are serving lengthy terms
were active in the digging.
The prisoners used a piece of
steel pulled off a cell door to dig
the aging brick and mortar out
of the wall in a washroom at the
northeast corner of the building
Monday. They had gone far
enough to have a two-inch hole
through the exterior wall.
The activity was discovered
about 3 p.m. Within two hours
the hole was solidly bricked up
again. Inspection showed that no
cell doors had been sawed or
otherwise prepared for a break,
said Young.

and (B) Communist aliens facing
I deportation may be held without
bail when the attorney-general
thinks their activities might en
danger the U. S.
The latter alien case originated
under a section off the Internal
Security Act of 1950, popularly
called the McCarran Act.
Justice Jackson Wrote the ma
jority opinion in the Communist
lawyers' case. Justices Black,
Douglas and Frankfurter wrote
separate dissents.
Takes No Part
Justice Clark took no part In the
consideration or decision. He was
attorney-general when the case
was started. j.
That trial took; place before
federal District Judge Harold R.
Medina, and ended in the convic
tion of top members of the Amer
ican Communist Party on charges
they conspired to advocate the
overthrow of the government by
force and violence. The- Supreme
Court has upheld s their convic
tions. ,
The case decided Monday stems
from the conduct of the Commu
nists' lawyers during the nine
month long trial. .
Warned Lawyers
During the trial 'Judge Medina
warned the lawyers many times
he would punish them. He said
from the bench thy were trying
to break down his health. He put
off actual contempt citations until
the verdict on the; 11 Red party
members had been reached.
Then he handed down prison
terms ranging frotn one to six
months, which the high court's
action affirmed.
Jackson also wrote the 6-2 ma
jority opinion in the alien depor
tation case. Douglas with Black
concurring wrote a dissent. Jus
tice Clark did not take part.
The 1940 Alien Registration Act
called for deportation of "any ali
en who was at the time of entering
the United States, or has been at
any time thereafter? a member of
any organization which taught vio
lent overthrow of the government.
The justice Department defend
ed the section, claiming Congress
has full power to epell a class of
aliens it considers undesirable.
Douglas Dissents
Douglas, in his dissent, contend
ed "an alien . . . is treated as a
citizen as far as his property and
his liberty,, are concerned," and
"if those rights, great as they are,
have contitutional protection. I
think the more important one
the right to remain here has a
like dignity." r
He said Congress ordered the
aliens deported "not for what they
are, but for what they once were
. . The principle of forgiveness
and the doctrine of redemption
are too deep in our; philosophy to
admit that there is; no return for
those who have one erred."
The alien bail case was decided
by a 5 to 4 vote, in; which Justice
Reed wrote the majority opinion.
Justices Douglas, Black, Frank
furter, and Burton vrote separate
dissents, and Burton also joined
with Frankfurter in his dissent.
The decision delt with four ali
ens arrested in California under
tharges of being mfembers of the
Communist Party.
Sen. McCarran (DvNev.), a chief
author of the Internal Security
Act, issued a statement in part:
"The two decisions by the Su
preme Court upholding the immi
gration provisions of the Internal
Security Act strike another blow
in our fight against the Communist
conspiracy in this country."

All 19,000 New York Police
Assigned to Schuster Case
NEW YORK (P)-Salesman Arnold Schuster, wantonly slain after
fingering bank robber Willie The Actor Sutton, was buried Monday
while a vast city echoed his mother's wail "Why did they do this
to him?" i
A crowd of some 2.000 muttered oaths and threats outside a
Brooklyn memorial chapel. Inside, Schuster's small, gray haired
Tree Ordinance
Bill Revived
By Armstrong
(Council news also on Page 1.)
A two-year-dormant tree ordin
ance bill was rivived Monday night
by its sponsor. Alderman Thomas
Armstrong.
At his insistence. The City Coun
cil voted to "bring back" the bill
for consideration at its March 24
meeting. There was some question
whether the bill officially is "on
the table or "in a committee.
There was further question
about who comprises the tree com
mittee, but nobody called for a
committee report.
Armstrong proposed in 1950
that the city legislate a policy of
replacing trees which had to be
removed from public parkings.
Other sections of the bill were de
signed to control certain plantings.
In other Council business at City
Hall Monday night, the city em
ployes received another setback in
their move to transfer their re
tirement benefits from the state
system to federal social security.
Employes had contested a rul
ing from Executive Secretary Max
Manchester of the state system that
their petition for change was in
sufficient. City Attorney Chris
Kowitz reported last night that
he agreed with some of the em
ployes' points but at present could
see no alternative to litigation or
a new petition by the employes.
Kowitz, who has conferred with
Manchester, said the chief differ
ence of legal opinion centers in
the state system ruling that 14 em
ployes over age 60 could not trans
fer out of the retirement plan.
Mayor Alfred W. Loucks recom
mended that the employes start a
new petition because litigation
might require several months to
iron out the questions over the pe
tition rejected by the state.
Action on a $83,382 bond issue
for street improvements paid by
property owners under the Ban
croft Act was deferred pending a
decision as to place of delivery.
Apparent low bidder is Kalman
8c Co. of St. Paul, Minn., which
bid in at a total interest cost to the
city of $7,427, or an effective rate
of 1.6 per cent. Next low bidder
was U. S. National Bank of Port
land. Annexation of a Stortz Avenue
area of some 45 acres just north
of city limits along the Pacific
Highway was approved by the
Council in an ordinance passed last
night. The annexation now must
be voted officially by property
owners of the area.
Other bills passed accepted Cora
E. Ramp property for street pur
poses between Engle Avenue and
King wood Drive, provided alter
nate, members for the board of
examiners and appeals on build
ing code matters and permitted
construction of two additional
houses by Paga Stevenson in
Englewood Addition lots which do
not quite meet the legal size.
City Attorney Chris Kowitz re
ported the city has no insurance to
cover a claim from George Her
berger for damages to his house
at 2495 Mason St. during blasting
by the city. Kowitz recommended
against paying the $1,364 claim and
the Council accepted this report.
A new city policy was adoptedl
to require notices of assessments
against Salem property to be post
ed on any affected property. This
had been suggested by Alderman
Thomas Armstrong to improve the
method of notifying property
owners.
Bills introduced call for renewal
of a Southern Pacific franchise for
the Ford Street spur and for repeal
of a $5 monthly license fee against
log trucks operating in the city.
The latter was brought in by Al
derman James Nicholson at the
request of log truck operators
through attorney Bruce Williams.

Rewards for the seizure of the

hourly and may reach $50,000.
The city was expected to put up
$25,000, the most it has offered
in years.
Great Manhunt
One of the greatest manhunts
in New York City's history was
underway. Every one of the city's
19,000 policemen was thrown into
the search, intent on avenging the
brazen assassination of a citizen
whose only mistake was helping
the cops.
"Every member of the force has
been assigned to it, said Police
Commissioner George P. Mon
aghan. Less than three weeks ago
he was shaking the 24-year-old
Schuster's hand in tribute to the
youth's part in capturing Sutton,
the badly-wanted bank holdup
artist.
Salesman Shot Down
Last Saturday night, the good
looking pants salesman was shot
down in Brooklyn, a stone's throw
from his home.
Since fingering Sutton, he had
received a number of threats but
apparently did not take them too
serio-'.aly. Monaghan said he de
clined a police guard.'
One of 11 threatening notes
was slipped under the door of his
father's clothing shop where he
worked a few hours before his
murder. Printed in pencil, it read:
"This is your last day."
Sutton, himself, seemed shocked
and grieved by Schuster's slay
ing. He said:
"That sinks me. Why did they
want to do anything like that? I
had nothing against the kid. I
was going to get caught sooner or
later. I feel very bad about this,
and think it's a terrible "rilling."
The 51 -year -old Willie faces a
life sentence. He had a gun il
legally when arrested, and since
has pleaded guilty to this as a
fourth felony, which carries a
mandatory life term in New York.

It is believed here the next move

Gov. John W. Bonner declined
to comment when asked what hap
pens next. But Saturday he said
if bond houses didn't bid, the state
would "do everything possible to
sell the bonds anyway ... to pri
vate sources, to banks, to anyone

P-TA Hears
Dr. Stapran
American children can look with
hope for the future instead of fear
as in the European countries. Dr.
Teodor Stapran told the Richmond
P-TA Monday evening.
Stapran, formerly of Latvia and
now on the staff at Oregon State
Hospital, addressed some 175 par
ents and teachers at the business
meeting.
In outlining his impressions of
the United States, Dr. Stapran

the backbone of this country."
Dr. Harold R. Hutchinson, of
Salem, spoke to the group on
fluoriting the water in Salem and
the effect of this on children's
teeth.
The group elected a nominating
committee which will report in
the April meeting its selections for
the 1952-53 year's office. Elected
were chairman, Leo B. Seamster,
Mrs. Edwin C. Baal and Mrs. J. B.
