Matusow s'Lles! Upset Conviction of 2 Reds NEW YORK Turnabout witness Harvey Matusow's "pro pensity to lie" Friday upset the conviction and imprisonment of two of the nation's second string Communist leaders.

B. L. Price, assistant Bonneville administrator, said organizations representing varied Northwest in terests will be asked to nominate members to two-year terms on the council. In the past members .1 :n vara snnninran nv inp nnnnvnif T.W. UpH.WU J ." " administrator. , I The council will , meet semi - an - Dually to review the region's power and economic problems and to advise the administrator. Price discussed the power out look, saying needs of -the North west for "the next .10 years will i require an investment of at least 3 4 billion dollars for new dams, transmission facilities and projects now under way." . He urged that encouragement be given public and private agencies planning partnership or individual undertaking of power projects. "Each and every kilowatt of gen eration developed by a preference agency will resultnin that much less drain on federal power upon which many of you are depending to meet your future requirements," Price said. "It is clearly in our mutual interest for every one of us to-f urge and cooperate with those agencies who have possible proj ects and financing ability to de velop generation on their system." Price said Administrator Wil liam Pearl now is in Washington to work for a 1956 fiscal year Bonneville budget of $33,287,000. If Congress approves it, he said, it will insurea high level of con struction to bring new federal power to load centers and increase operations and maintenance funds by $500,000.

Matusow spent eight days on the witness stand at their 1952-53 trial. Without his perjured testi mony, trial Judge Edward J. Dim- ock ruled, Trachtenberg and Char ney might never have been con victed of conspiring to Jeach and advocate the violent overthrow of the government. Federal Judge Dimock, in grant ing a new trial, called Matusow a liar coming or going or both when he testified as -an anti-Communist witness at the trial and later when he recanted the testi mony and joined in the Reds plea for a new trial. Matusow is a completely irre sponsible witness." Judge Dimock added in a scathing denunciation of the stocky, 28-year-old self-confessed liar, who helped the govern ment place the Red brand on num erous targets. Judge Dimock cleared the gov ernment's trial attorneys in cluding Roy J. Cohn of Matu sow's charge that they egged him into perjury to nail down a convic tion. It was Matusow's own idea, Thp . ... an . . f,.;" - t : : .71 .? V the prosecutors, the judge added. was that they were "credulous" too ready to accept Matusow's testimony. With the 11 other second string Communist leaders, Trachtenberg and Charney went to prison last January. Trachtenberg is serving three years in a Springfield. Mo., federal prison, Charney two years in Lewisburg, Pa. Their lawyer'- sought their im mediate release!' Their bail was fixed at $5,000 each. When posted it will mark the first time that Matusow's recantation has opened prison gates for convicted Reds. fDracula' Star Committed to State Hospital LOS ANGELES (J Bela Lu gosi. who says he made a half million dollars playing "Dracula" and other horror roles but doesn't have a dime of it left, was ordered comitted to a state hospital Fri- aay as a narcotic drug addict. Too ill to go into court, Lugosi, 71, was given a hearing in a ward at General Hospital. He voluntarily signed himself into the institution Thursday and told doctors, "I need help to overcome the drug habit." The sharp-faced Lugosi began his Hollywood career in 1931 but hasn't worked in pictures for sev eral years. "I'm dependent on the goodness of friends for my food," he told newsmen. "I get a small old-age pension that takes care of the rent. "He said he recently made $800 appearing for six weeks in Las Vegas but lost it gambling. Lugosi told the court he began taking drugs 20 years ago after they were prescribed because of a physical ailment. "I am most anxious to rehabili tate myself," the Hunarian-born actor declared. Superior Judge Wallace -L. Ware ordered Lugosi committed to the state hospital at Norwalk for a pe riod of not less than three months nor more than two years. He con gratulated the actor on surrender ing tiimself for treatment, saying, "It was a commendable thing for you to do." ! ' Filbert Board Picks Chairman PfiRTT.AVn im V. Y..

Investigators Heading for Copter Crash ROSSLAXD, B. C. UP) RCAF investigators from Edmonton Fri day night were treking toward the scattered wreckage of a heli copter in which three men died Thursday, 20 miles west of here. The two-mile trail to the scene on the side of a mountain , was covered with snow. A ground party which reached the area earlier Friday said the twin - rotored Piasecki 'copter sheared through tree tops as it plunged into the mountain in a thick fog. There was still no word whether the bodies of the three victims had been removed from the wreckage. Killed in the accident were Flight Officr D. E. West, pilot, formerly of Edmonton: Cpl. J. E. Ericson; and R. B. Chesney of the Piasecki Helicopter Co., Phil adelphia. The airmen were sta tioned at Vancouver. Two other airmen survived. They are Flight Officer K. C.

Polio Vaccine Soon Available9 To Millions, Official Declares , By FRANK E. CAREY Associated Press Science Reporter WASHINGTON Wt Welfare Secretary Hobby said Friday night "There now remain only months before the great boon of the Salk (polio) vaccine can be made avail able to many millions." Mrs. Hobby made, public a for mal report of a government spon sored conference which earlier Fri day recommended establishment of a state-by-state allocation plan for commercial supplies of the Salk polio vaccine on a voluntary basis without any federal control. The allocation would also apply to vaccine for tax supported and charitable agencies. The recommendation called for the establishment of a national ad visory committee which, in turn, would recommend state by state allocations based upon information it would collect at frequent inter vals, from the states and the vac cine manufacturers on need and available supjply. The vaccine 'would be allocated to the states on the basis of state population in the "1 to 19 age groups, and the plan is designed to get the vaccine to people .who Newport Assault Trail Recesses NEWPORT, Ore. OP The as sault with intent to kill trial of Richard Thomson was recessed Friday until Monday. Thomson is accused of striking his former partner, James Meuler, with a pipe and then sending him in a car over an oceanside cliff Sept. 12, 1953. Meuler was seriously injured but recovered. This is the second time Thomson has been tried on the charge. He was convicted the first time but released from prison when the State Supreme Court ordered a retrial Cave-in Kills Man, Hurts 2 SPOKANE un Firemen, police men and fellow workers dug des perately Friday to free three men buried alive in a sewer ditch, but one of the cave-in victims died on the way to the hospital. The -victim was a new man on the job, Ernest W. Nelson, 37, who was completely covered with clay and sand. Nelson was revived by oxygen and talked to rescuers while being dug out, but lapsed into unconsciousness and died in an ambulance. Andrew Seher. 37, threw back his head when the rain-weakened excavation gave way and his nose was still exposed when rescuers started freeing him. He was re vived with a resusitator and later reported out of danger at a hos pital. George Porter, a heavy equip ment man who had jumped into the ditch just before it caved to help lay sewer 'pipe, was buried to the waist. Porter told rescuers to free the other men before dig ging him out. He apparently was not injured and remained on the job. Action Started for Dam, Lock Shift to Yamhill County WASHINGTON m Rep. Nor blad R-Ore) has introduced a bill to ' clear the way for Yamhill County, Oregon, to acquire an abandoned lock and dam at Lafa yette, near McMinnville. The federal government several months ago discontinued mainten ance of the site after tr a f f i c through the locks virtually stopped. The bill would start action to have the lock, dam and surfound iing acreage declared jurplus to government needs. That would en able the county to buy the prop erty, a favorite picnic and swim ming spot. Farmers also use the reservoir for irrigation 'vater. need it most at the earliest possi ble time. The states themselves would set up plans for distribution within the states and for any priorities indi cated as to age groups and other factors. Mrs. Hobby,' who said she has the approval of President Eisen hower to start Saturday to select the committee, said in her state ment: "The present supply of vaccine except for a small amount, is com mitted to the National Foundation for -Infantile Paralysis for use in its program of vaccinating children in the first and second grades. In fact, until May. 1. all but approximately 1 per cent" is com mitted to the foundation. This pro gram will supply vaccine for nine million children by the close of the school year. . . "This represents approximately 30 per cent of the children in the susceptible age groups .from .1 through 9. "The figures submitted by the manufacturers indicate that, in the meantime, the sriply of vaccine available will steadily increase. By July 1, an estimated 25,600,000 children can be vaccinated.: on Bat Ray 1 Police Locate Missing Boy A search for a missing 11-year-old Salem boy ended Friday when the lad showed up aer spending all of Thursday night in a down town hotel, police reported.
