Condition of
Bomb Victims
In Dispute
TOKYO : m A . government
spokesman Wednesday supported
in part a group of Japanese doc
tors who challenged U. S. Am
bassador John Allison's optimistic
statement on "the condition of the
23 Lucky Dragon fishermen.
The spokesman said the condi
tion of the 23, burned by radio ac
tive ash from the March 1 hydro
gen blast in the Marshalls, "does
not warrant optimism.''
This was similar to the opinion
of the doctors, who did not like
Allison's statement that prelimi
nary examination of the fishermen
gave "no medical basis for con
cern." The spokesman, however, issued
a report from the Atom Bomb Dis
ease Research Council, an agency
of the Welfare Ministry, which
was less pessimistic on tht cur
rent condition of themen than the
doctor ss Version.
The newspaper Asahi had quot
ed the doctors as saying the 23
had been ordered to stay in bed,
their blood count was falling, their
appetites were, failing and their
temperatures were rising.
The council reported that the
men's blood count had improved
somewhat after some of their
counts dropped to around 1,000,
about one-sixth of normal. The
council added that their tempera
tures also had dropped but reit
erated that their condition "does
not warrant optimism."
Joseph Becker
Found Dead
Joseph Becker, 67, carpenter
contractor and Salem resident
since 1925, was found dead in his
home at 1653 State St., Wednes
day night.
Becker's son, Edwin, of 1440
Nebraska Ave , told investigating
city officers he came to the home
Wednesday to see why he hadn't
heard from his father the past two
days and found him in his bed.
Deputy County Coroner Charles
Edwards said he wasn't sure how
Becker died, but family doctor's
had been treating the man for
some years for a stomach ail
ment. Death was believed to have
occurred sometime Monday night,
he explained Edwards said an in
quest would be up to the family
doctor.
A Canadian citizen. Becker was
born March 2. 1887. His wife, the
former Bertha Pauline Hillman,
preceded him in death in 1950.
Announcement of services will be
made later by the W. T. Rigdon
Company. ,

U.S. Housing Loan Insurance
Said Key to Promoter's Profits
WASHINGTON Ufi Sen. Byrd
(D-Va declared Wednesday that
same housing promoters, operating
on shoestrings or with no capital
at all. got excessive government
insured loans running into millions
and reaped fat profits.
He told the Senate the housing
program had been marred by ex
travagance and irresponsibility "if
not actual fraud and graft," and
said "criminal prosecution may re

Shoulders in
Tears at Trial
For Perjury
KANSAS CITY OR Louis Shoul
ders, ex-St. Louis police officer,
broke into tears and blurted loud
ly "how much can a guy take" as
he testified Wednesday about hand
ling the Greenlease kidnap ran
som. He is being tried on a charge
of lying to a federal grand jury
about the arrest of the kidnap
killers and his handling of the ran
som. The case, stemming from dis
appearance of $303,720 of the $600,
000 ransom paid for the return
of 6-year-old Bobby Greenlease,
later found slaiiC will go to the
jury Thursday.
Closing arguments and instruc
tions to the jury by Judge Albert
A. Ridge remain. Shoulders, who
arrested one of the kidnapers. Carl
Austin Hall, was the last of five
f defense witnesses.
Shoulders Wednesday stuck by
his testimony to the grand jury
last October. He's accused of ly
ing when he said two suitcases
containing ransom money recov
ered from Hall were carried into
a St. Louis police station by him
self and Patrolman Elmer Dolan
only a few minutes after booking
of the kidnaper.
Dolan recently was convicted of
perjury but has not yet been sen
tenced. He is expected to file a

ment officials acted deliberately in
such cases.
Byrd is chairman of the Joint
Committee on Reduction of Non
essential Federal Expenditures.
The committee began a study of
alleged housing irregularities last
July, but Byrd complained Wednes
day that his committee had been
"denied the facts" by the govern
ment agencies concerned.
He said he would insist that di
rector Albert M. Cole of the Hous
ing and Home Finance Agency
HHFA) testify "under oath" to
furnish the information Byrd said
has been withheld so far. "Mere
dismissals" of some officials of the
Federal Housing Administration
FHA will not meet the situation,
he added.
Both Byrd's committee and the
Senate Banking Committee head
ed by Chairman Capehart (R-Ind)
have announced plans for formal
hearings into housing irregularities
disclosed by the White House Mon
day. They involve charges that exces
sive loans were approved both for
apartments and for home repair
projects promoted by unscrupulous
salesmen.
Capehart said Wednesday he will
ask $250,000 to finance his com
mittee's probe, which will include a
check of 7.000 rental housing pro
jects built with FHA-insured mort
gages. He said he will ask President
Eisenhower to make available
from income tax records the names
of 231 builders who allegedly made
75 million dollars profit with the
help of excessive FHA loans and
said "there may be as much as
500 million dollars involved in this
whole busfness."
Navy Allots
$28 000 for
Building Here
A $28,000 building to house four
155-millimeter guns is in prospect
as an addition at the Salem Navy
Marine Training Center on Airport
Road, officials said Wednesday.
The wood building, 30 by 60,
would provide the extra space
needed for more guns used for
training the 4th 155-mm Gun Bat
tery of the Marine Reserve here.
The outfit has one such gun now,
but is authorized four, said the
commanding officer, Maj. Joseph
Svejkovsky.
Plans have been drawn at the
Navy's 13th District headquarters
in Seattle, but no go-ahead on
bidding or the work proper has
been given.
The allotment of $28,000 for the
Salem project was noted in Wash
ington. D. C Wednesday in a
$15 million program of Navy con
struction for facilities in navy and
marine reserve training. Asso
ciated Tress reported. Funds are
for the year starting July 1, 1954.

IT TAKES A GENTLE
PUSH, GIRLS
Take it from old Del. Sometimes
it even takes a hard shove! You
gotta tell your husband once in
awhile that you'd like to get
away from the kitchen. He does
n't cook the food so how does he
know how tiresome it gets.
Here's my idea. Tell the old goat
you'd like to spend an extra-special
Easter Sundayf Help the kids
find the eggs and baskets go to
church and afterward bring the
whole family down to the Hotel
Marion for our special Easter
Sunday dinner!
Both the dining-room and the
Oak Room will be open. The din
ing room at 7 a. m. for breakfasts
and on through the day. The Oak
room from 12 noon on for that
special dinner.
You don't know how the kids will
act? Don't worry. We're asking
for it and we think you deserve
the day "off." Pretty good idea
huh? (For you and for me!)
