Juno 13, 1952 PRICE 5c No. 73 3UP UCDOupg The Senate has requested Presi dent Truman to invoke the Taft Hartley law in view of the em ergency be says exists due to the stoppage in steel production. Many newspapers and men in public life have made a similar recommen dation. It is in point therefore to turn to the Taft-Hartley law and see just what it prescribes in the way of government action in such a situation. The portion of the law deal-n with National Emergencies appears in Title II of the act. Sect.o;i -uti provides that whenever in the opinion of the President a strike imperils the "national health or safety" he "may appoint a occ.J of inquiry," This board shall in quire Into the issues and make a report i to- include each party's statement of its position and the board's own statement of facts, but the report "shall not contain any recommendations. Section 208 provides that after receiving - such report the Presi dent "may" direct the Attorney General to seek an injunction to prevent or halt a strike or lockout. The court is given jurisdiction to enjoin the, strike or lockout; but the order of the court shall be sub ject to review by the circuit court of appeals and by the Supreme Court. Section 209 provides that after an injunction issues the principals to the dispute shall "make every effort to adjust and settle their differences." If at the end of BO days no settlement has been made the board of inquiry shall report to the President, giving a state ment from each of the parties and a copy of the employer's last offer of settlement. The National Labor Relations Board shall submit the last offer of the employer to the employes within 15 days and cer tify the (Continued on Editorial Page, 4.) Scene Ready For Wreckers At Courthouse The wreckers can start almost any time now to raze Marion County Courthouse, with moving of offices almost completed.

The sheriffs department vaca ted and transferred 30 jail prison ers Thursday. Eight of these, serv ing sentences with more than 30 days to go, went to Linn County jail, and another 22 with shorter terms or awaiting court action went to Salem city jail.

A switchboard is being installed to serve all departments which have moved from the Courthouse, plus the agricultural agent Using the single number-4-4401, the board will have 10 trunks to the outside, serving 36 extensions in the building. This compares with about 20 which have been in use by the offices. Extension of Controls Voted WASHINGTON UP)-The House Banking Committee Thursday night approved by a 15-3 vote leg islation extending until June 30, 1953, the -government's authority to control prices, wages and rents. Committee chairman Spence (D Ky.) said he expects speedy House action on the bill. He said debate on the measure probably will start next Wednesday and finish by the end of the week. Earlier In the day the Senate had passed by a 58-18 vote legis lation to extend through Feb. 28 the federal power to control prices, wages and rents. Under the Senate version, au thority for credit curbs and for allocation of scarce materials to industry would be extended for a full year, until June 30, 1953. The bill okayed by the House group would do away with the government's power to impose credit controls. Animal Crackers fiv WARREN GOODRICH "Personally, I vote for the sea shore.

Ike to Woo Delegates of Key Bloc Target Of Sortie By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL Associated freu Political Reporter Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhdwer heads forth Friday on a week-end political sortie - into Pennsylvan ia and Michigan - that could de termine whether he gets the Re publican presidential nomination. Those two states, and perhaps Maryland, are in a strategic spot to turn the delegate tide either to ward Eisenhower or Serf. Robert A. Taft of Ohio when the Repub lican national convention gets un der way in Chicago July 7. And reports are getting around that party leaders in the three states may team up in an effort to dictate who the nominees will be. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Maryland will swing 140 votes at Chicago, enough to provide the clincher in a tight race if they could be cast substantially in a bloc. Maneuvers Important That situation underscores the importance of these prospective maneuvers: A parade of the Pennsylvania delegates to Eisenhower's farm near Gettysburg, Pa.. Friday. They are expected to confer with Taft at a later date. An Eisenhower appearance in Detroit Saturday, for conferences with Michigan delegates and par ty big-wigs and a major political speech. A Taft conference with the Maryland delegation at a date now indefinite. Originally it was plan ned for Monday. EiFOnhower saw the Marylanders in New York last Wednesday. Each contender has some ap parently solid support within the 70-vote Pennsylvania and 46-vote Michigan delegations. But large blocs of unattached delegates still are waiting to be persuaded which way Jta-jump. Edge-' to Eisenhower As things stand now, the Asso ciated Press tally gives Eisenhow er 20 votes in Pennsylvania, Taft 6, with 33 on the fence. Gov. John , Fine is expected to say which way those 33 go. In Michigan, it's seven for Eis enhower, five for Taft and 33 un determined, with GOP national committeeman Arthur Summer field able to, call the shots on where the majority lands. Maryland's 24 votes are pledged on the first ballot to Gov. Theo dore R. McKeldin. On subsequent ballots, the governor may be able to control 18 or 20 of the votes. As of now, on the AP score board, Eisenhower is trailing Taft in delegate votes, 392 to 464, with 604 necessary to assure nomina tion. Taft Force in Control And Taft forces have grabbed control of Republican convention machinery. Among other things, they have put Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur, a Taft supporter in the role of keynote speaker. President Truman kept hands off that arrangement at his Thurs day news conference. MacArthur technically is on active duty and Army regulations forbid active of ficers to take part in political con ventions or to make a political speech. Truman said he is sure the Army will handle the matter as it should be handled. If he isn't satisfied with the way they do it, he said, Falsification of Records Gets Psychiatrist Jailed CHICAGO (JP)- An Army in duction center psychiatrist was sentenced to six years in prison Thursday for falsifying records and taking bribes from prospective draftees. Dr. Charles F. Herband, 43, had been charged with taking bribes totaling $2,675 from seven select ees to classify eligible youths as mentally unfit for service. Ann Eberle, Portland, is presi dent of the senate, and Shirley Carolyn Kolander, Portland, is speaker of the house. Shirley Gray, Independence, is chief clerk of the senate, and Darlene Clem ence, Redmond, clerk of the house. Bills will be introduced in the girl legislature this afternoon. This session will be followed by a visit to the state supreme court. Assisting with the mock legisla ture will be Mrs. Marie Wilcox, real life state senator from Grants Pass, and Mrs. Ann Ellis of Gari baldi, former representative. Girl State county units today will nominate 12 candidates for a Saturday election which will select two girls to attend Girls Nation in Washington, D. C, in July. At the inaugural ceremony Thursday of Gov. Mary Jenks, Gov. Douglas McKay presented her with a pin of office. Guests included Miss KXynn Brum baugh, Gresham, last year's' Girl State governor. viets To BeirDoin) Boirdleir Brazen Young Gunmen Take Over New York Hotel, 25 Guests Robbed NEW YORK (iGVThree brazen young gunmen took over a 16 story hotel early Thursday, run ning its switchboard, elevator and desk and leisurely robbing some 25 guests. The bandits held control of the 297 -room Hotel Emerson on W. 75th St. for about three hours. Not a shot was fired. " A gunman on the switchboard carefully followed the schedule to wake up guests who left calls. Many of them came down from their rooms in time to get caught in the holdup in the lobby. Victims were forced to lie on the floor. Men guests were made County Demos May Nominate 4tli Candidate Another candidate for state rep resentative from Marion County can be nominated by the Demo- cratic county central committee, as the result of primary voting, it ' developed Thursday. Only two Democrats were on the ' primary ballot Cornelius Bate : son and A. M. Vistica and both were nominated, although four po sitions were open. By 70 write-ins ! the Democrats also nominated Re publican W. W. Chadwick, who was in fourth place among Re publicans. Next in line for write-ins was Frank Doerfler, who did not win a Republican nomination, so can not accept the Democratic. The Democratic nomination does not descend then to the man with the third most write-in Votes, who is Lee Ohmart, according to David O'Hara, head of the State Elec tions Bureau.' The only way the Democrats can have candidates for all four posi tions in the November general election is for the central commit tee to select a nominee by Aug. 25. Robert F. Shutler of Salem, com mittee chairman, was not available Thursday for comment. Republican nominees for the House are Mark Hatfield, Lee Oh mart, R. L. Elfstrom and Chad wick. South Korea Bars 'Voice' PUSAN (JP) Voice of America broadcasts have been barred from the South Korean government's radio network because they car ried "obviously insulting"- attacks on the actions of President Syng man Rhee in the Korean political crisis, a spokesman announced Thursday. "We do not dispute the airing of such opinions under other aus pices," the government spokesman said. "But I am determined the Korean government network will not be used to tear down its own sovereign state." The Voice of America's three daily broadcasts over the 10-sta-tion network have carried excerpts from American and foreign news papers attacking Rhee. A U.S. Embassy official said the broadcasts over Radio Korea were suspended Wednesday night. He added that any protest must come from .Washington, where Voice of America policy is determined. State Department officials in Washington said Korean language broadcasts are being made now from other Voice transmitters in Japan and the Philippines. The of ficials did not mention plans to protest the. ROK government's broadcast ban. Editorials broadcast by the Voice of America have sharply criticiz ed Rhee for placing southeastern Korea under martial law last May 25 and for ignoring demands from President Truman and the United Nations to lift it.

The trio got more than $500 in cash and $2,500 in jewels from guests, plus $102 from the hotels cash register. They also smashed open a cigarette machine and doled out smokes to their victims. One of the robbery victims thought the men seemed "hopped up" on dope. They kept their hats pulled low on their foreheads. They appeared in their 20s.

An accompanying B-29 re ported sighting one survivor in a life raft. The bombers were enroute from Kwajalein to Guam. Steel Seizure Backers Yield WASHINGTON (JP) - Congress raised new snags against Presi dent Truman's drive for power to seize the strike-crippled steel industry Thursday as the House Banking Committee followed the Senate's lead in beating down such a move. At the same time, the Senate battle over the issue collapsed when last -ditch advocates of Presidential seizure authority gave up the fight, at least tem porarily. They have been heavily out-numbered since the outset. The Senate then voted 58 to 18 to pass an economic controls law extension carrying a provision virtually demanding that Truman use the Taft-Hartley law in the steel strike. Truman has denounced the T-H act as unfair and as probably an ineffective method of trying to settle the steel dispute. Sen. Maybank (D-SC), quarter backing the pro-seizure forces, in dicated that the issue would be sidetracked until late this summer after the July political conven tions. If so, it could mean another long-drawn struggle in the thick of Washington's mid - summer heat.

Karnes was found the next morning asleep in the basement of the Callaway horn and arrest Two Tital States : Dim Niw ry, 55, and elevator operator Hil liard Jackson, 56. One gunman took over the ele vator, a second the switchboard and a third the desk. As guests arrived or left, they were casually relieved of their Valuables and made to lie on the lobby floor.

Jailers Find New ( System9 Bit Unwieldy Som ething was overlooked when arrangements were made with city police for handling pris oners of Marion County who are under the custody of the sheriffs office. No one figured out a simple way in which county prisoners can be bailed out at night. Two women traveled over two counties and made a couple of trips back and forth between the police station and the new sheriff's office before their mission was ac complished and they got their hus bands out. First they thought the men were In the Linn County jail at Albany and they went there. But the men weren't. They returned h er e where city police couldn't release the two men because they were under the sheriffs custody. So the women were directed to the sher iffs office where they paid the balance of the fines and got slips allowing city police to release the county prisoners. : Now all they have to do is come back to Salem during the day, go to the police station, ! where a sheriffs deputy will release prop erty being held in a locker in the police station basement to which only the sheriffs office has a key.
