CORNELL WASHINGTON () The Senate - Civil Service Subcommittee inves tigating the administration's secur ity, program ran into difficulty ;Tuesday. Its plans to examine the" contro troversial Wolf Ladejinsky case were set back at least temporarily when the Agriculture Department sent word that the two Depart ment officials it had requested to appear were out of town and un available. . Chairman Olin Johnston (D-SC) -promptly announced that the two will be subpoenaed. They are Mi lan D. Smith, executive assistant to Secretary of Agriculture Benson, and J.

Ladejinsky worked in turn for the Portland State Building Bids Exceed Fund PORTLAND ( Low bids for Portland State College's first class room building Tuesday totaled , $39,000 more than the 3o0,000 available for the proposed four- ;tory structure. , The State Board of Higher Education was told that this leaves .it with a choice of settling for a three-story building or asking the ! State Emergency Board for the ! ""additional money to proceed as planned. ... , ,. I The education group decided to- seek the $89,000. and Dr. J.F.! Cramer, president of the college.

State and Agriculture Departments and the Foreign Operations 'Admin istration (FOA). State gave him se curity clearance, Agriculture, dis- missed him as a security risk, and FOA recleared nun with an ac companying uproar over the case. ' In another opening day develop ment, the chairman of Americans ! for Democratic Action (ADA). Jo seph Raugh, accused the subcom- .mittee of "shadow boxing on the 1 question of what Raugh called the security program numbers rack et." I Raugh told the subcommittee , that Vice President Nixon had re sorted to "fakery" in the 1954 po litical campaign by claiming the Eisenhower, administration had fired thousands of Communists, fel low travelers and security risks. He said Nixon mentioned 6,000 fired risks and the figure got up to 8,008 by the end of 1954. The ADA chairman "beseeched the subcommittee to remove "this blot" from federal civil service workers. Johnston challenged him to "ten us how." Won't Give Facts If the facts aren't being brought out Johnston said, it is because witnesses won't give them, not be cause the subcommittee isn't try ing to get them. "You are asking witnesses to do the committee's job," Raugh . re plied. What the committee ought to do. be said, is send a questionnaire to all governments agencies asking for all the; facts about the 8.008 cases without the names of the per sons involved. The . committee, he said, should ask. for such- facts as the nature of the position, tenure and service, type of derogatory in formation, procedures, disposition of the case and circumstances of separation. - "This would demonstrate," he said, "whether in fact the Nixon charges are sound or not "I think it's a terrible thing that six or eight months after these charges are made they still stand without proof," Raugh said. Out of Whole Cloth He added he believes that at most an infinitesimal fraction of the 8.008 were Communists and that Nixon's charges were manufac tured out of whole cloth for politi cal purposes. Sen. Carlson (R-Kan) said he thought "faker" was the wrong word to apply to Nixon. Raugh stood oat "From the bottom of my heart " he said, "I believe there was fak ery in the numbers game."

For instance: Once there were two diplomats having a conference (at Summit .N. J.. , naturally). There was a -British Diplomat Ronald, and . a Russian diplomat Rudolph. As they emerge from the building, we hear Ronald say: ""I say, old chap, it seems to be snowing." ' "Nyef says Rudolph "It's rain ing." - V0h, no, 1 say, really, it's snow." "Rain." says the Russian. At this point, Ronald's wife says ' to him: "Pay no attention to Ru dolph, dear. He'$ right,'! "What?" says Ronald. "Him right? Why should 1 listen to --him?" . . "Because Rudolph the Red - knows rain, dear," says the wife. ' Ee what I mean?

This rary was shipped to London for a zoo, but it proved too big and cumbersome for caging, so the roo gave it away. The fellow they save it to tried keeping the rary in his garage, but its head stuck out one end and its tail the other and it caused all kinds of commotion, what with people staring and dogs barking. Finally the man decided to dis pose of the rary. He hired a big dump truck, put the rary in it and beaded for the White Cliffs of Dover. When they got there, the rary wary, said to the man: "What goes on here? What are you going to do with me?" "I'll tell you,", said the man, "We're going to raise this truck and tip you right over the cliff. "Goodness gracious, how far is it down there?" asked the rary, "About 350 feet" said the man. The rary stared down the cliff. "It s a long way to tip a rary, he said. . ' And then there was the African king who decided his subjects were lulling too many lions. - He proclaimed a law forbidding lioa killing.- The subjects, who always had considred lion killing great sport, loyally obeyed the law. Soon they were knee deep in lions. The situation got so bad that the citi zens rose op in anger and threw the king out of office.
