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.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi
dent Eisenhower plans to go to
Gettysburg, Pa., Friday to spend

car. She will travel separately by
automobile if he flies.
