Gambling Raid
Not Political,
Says Schrunk
PORTLAND, Sept. 15 A
claim by the chief of police that
Sheriff Terry Schrunk was bring
ing politics into law enforcement
was denied today by the sheriff.
' The exchange of sharply worded
statements was the latest in a con
tinuing controversy highlighted by
a lengthy grand jury investigation
of corruption and vice, and indict
ments against some 30 persons.
Police Chief James Purcell Jr.,
accusing the sheriff of playing
politics in having his deputies raid
an establishment inside the city
last Tuesday night, made h i s
charges in a letter to Schrunk.
The sheriff, a candidate for
mayor of Portland, replied, "If
good, sound law enforcement is
politics, I believe It is about time
we had more politics of this sort."
County deputies conducted the
raid, seising a quantity of gam
bling equipment and more than
te.OOO in cash. A complaint by
Roma Ollson, whose own place
was raided by city police earlier,
touched off the raid by county of
ficers. Ollson said he notified the sher
iff's office only after he com
plained to city police but got no
action.
In the sheriff's raid, deputies
also seiied a book of telephone
numbers. On one page were listed
the name of Purcell and his home
number and the name "Pete"
alongside the city hall number.
Purcell taid he suspected his
name was written in the book aft-
er the raid. , .
Flock Accepts
Confused Cat
As Chicken
DALLAS, Tex., Sept. IS UP-The
N. E. L'tsler's kitten. Chickadee,
has a definite opinion that he's a
chicken. He apparently is finding
considerable confirmation from
chickens themselves.
Utsler began noticing a skinny
kitten, about 1 months old, in the
chicken yard of his home at near
by Rylie, Tex. The kitten would
have nothing to do with people or
other cats.
Wondering what he ate, Utsler
watched after putting out chicken
feed, consisting of table scraps,
lettuce, bran pellets and bread.
"The kitten would beat any
chicken to the draw on grabbing
a scrap and my old rooster even
fought off the hens to let the kitty
eat," Utsler relates. It even ate
lettuce and bran pellets, just like
the chickens.
"One night after the chickens
went to roost, I decided to find
out where the kitty slept. I looked
into the chicken house, and there
he was asleep, on the top roost
between five big hens and looking
as comfortable as they did."
Utsler said he decided the kitten
really was mixed up when it tried
to peck him.

BURBANK, Calif., Sept. 15 UP
Any of you girls who have mar

ing a divorce to a pretty secre
tary yesterday.
After hearing Mrs. Bobbie Jo

"I'll give you a tip. Don't ever
marry another one, and that goea
for all women. In 99 out of every
100 divorces we hear involving

West Europe
Rejects Plan
To Cut Arms
PARIS. Sept. 13 UP Western
European nations today agreed
not to start reducing their conven
tional armed forces to fit new
concepts of nuclear strategy at
least until the Atlantic Alliance
has talked it over.
The agreement was reached at
a meeting of the Ministerial Coun
cil of the Western European Un
ion. It was reported by Heinnch
von Brentano, West German for
eign minister, after the session.
Union members are Britain. West
Germany, France, The Nether
lands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and
Italy.
Germany, which is just getting
under way its buildup of conven
tional forces, had requested the
session. The government of Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer has been
under domestic political pressure
because of reports that Britain
and the United States were plan
ning to reduce their forces in Ger
many even as the Germans were
calling recruits .into uniform.
Von Brentano said it was a
"very fruitful meeting" and the
ether nations had agreed not to
change their basic policies without
prior accord from the other
partners in Western European Un
ion. Ambassador George Perkins,
permanent delegate to NATO, rep
resented the United States as an
observer. The United States previ
ously has assured NATO nations
it would not trim its forces in
Europe without full prior consul
tation. Fall Near But
