Industrialist Eaton Accuses House Board Chief of 'Despicable Un-American Tactics' WASHINGTON (AP - Indus trialist Cyrus Eaton Thursday ac cused Chairman Francis E. Wal ter (D-Pa) of the House Commit tee on Un-American Activities of "despicable un-American tactics." Eaton said the same goes for Richard Arens, the committee's staff director. Walter and 'Arens, Eaton said, re "attempting to intimidate, bully and push citizens around." The 74-year-old Eaton, Cleve land iron, steel and railroad ty coon, has been exchanging pot shots with the committee since May 4 when Eaton told a tele Vision audience that the FBI and some other federal agencies en gaged in "snooping, informing and creeping up on people." Walter could not be reached at once fur comment on Eaton's statement Thursday. Arens at first said he had no comment. Later he said: "I'd rather be classified with J. Ed gar Hoover (FBI director) and Congressman Francis Walter than With Menshikov and Khrushchev." Arens did not amplify this. Eaton has displayed letters, in cluding, one from Soviet Premier Khrushchev, acknowledging his in terest in world peace. Last April, Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Men shikov visited Eaton's farm in Ohio. Eaton fired his latest salvo in a statement describing as untrue Walter's version of what took place at an informal meeting Wednesday in the office of Rep. Gordon Scherer (R-Ohio), a mem ber of the Committee on Un-Amer ican Activities. Walter said he walked out of the session because a comparison he said Eaton made of the United States with Hitler's Germany "was too much for my stomach." Walter said further that he gath ered that Eaton thought that by having an informal discussion with Walter, Scherer and Arens a for mal appearance before the com mittee might be made unneces sary. Asked for comment, Eaton told a reporter: "Congressman Wal ter's latest sortie is being conduct ed with characteristic intellectual dishonesty. "His report of yesterday's meet ing is untrue." Eaton's version Is that he called on Scherer at the suggestion of a mutual friend, and that Walter and Arens came in. "Naturally," Eaton said, "I took advantage of the opportunity to Woman Sentenced For Embezzlement POCATELLO Idaho (AP)- U. S. District Judge Fred M. Taylor sentenced Mrs. Marjorie Mae Ow en to concurrent 3M years Thurs day for embezzling $21,290.90 from the Butte County Bank at Arco. She pleaded guilty to two counts of embezzlement but innocent to a charge that she made a false entry in the bank's ledger some $66,000 short of the actual total. The third count was dismissed. tell them in plain terms that I thought of their intemperate antics." Farm from trying to have the committee quash what he called its still-phantom TV subpoena, Eaton went on, "I should like noth ing better than to have a chance to tell the committee face to face and let the world know how de spicable are the un-American tac tics of Messrs. Walter and Arens in attempting to intimidate, bully and push citizens around." Walter obtained TV time to re ply to Eaton's May 4 statements and assigned Arens to make the rejoinder. When he appeared May 19, Arens announced that a sub poena had been issued for Eaton to appear before the committee for quizzing about his allegations. The subpoena has not been served on Eaton. Whether Eaton will be called as a committee witness remained un answered. Walter said the -ques tion will be settled after other members are briefed on what took place in Scherer's office. Conservatives Keep Seat in British Vote - LONDON I Britain's ruling Conservative party Thursday night held on to its parliamentary seat, in a special by-election at Ealing South, a London suburb. Its 1955 national election majority was cut in half. The opposition Labor party re tained two Parliament seats, one by s bigger majority than in the last national balloting and the oth er by a smaller margin. The three contests were among five at stake in a so-called little general election that is being watched closely as a possible po litical barometer. Interest Termed Keen Interest is keen for some indi cation whether the Conservative party has slowed or stopped the swing away from it shown in re cent special elections. The two other contests, both for .seats now held by Conservatives, will be de cided Friday and Saturday. All five by-elections were held to fill vacancies caused by deaths and resignations. Conservative Brian Batsford, 47- year-old publisher, won at Ealing South with a majority of 6,159. In 1955 the Conservatives took the seat with "a 12,530 majority. Bats- ford got 17,417 votes, Laborite Hugh Garside 11,258 and Liberal Philip Skelsey 5,956. The Labor party retained Its seats in two traditional strong holds. Z,0M Majority Increase E. A. Fitch won in Wigan in the heart of the recession-hit Lan cashire cotton textile belt with a 2,000 majority increase. Leslie Spriggs took the St. Hel ens seat formerly held by his par ty colleague, Sir Hartley Sahw- cross. He bad a comfortable mar gin but it was 3,800 under the ma jority the popular Shawcross piled up in the 1955 voting.
