Crouch and shmitpd. "I'll till

Red plot reaching into the White
fiouse aunng me Jew Deal.
A tense three-day hearing by

he left the stand after testifying
Mrs. Durr "had full knowledge"
of a conspiracy by a Communist
espionage ring that allegedly
piped out secret information
from the White House from 1934,
to 1952.
"You dirty dag! I'll kill you for
jying apouc my wue" Purr
yelled as he grabbed Crouch
Attorneys and U. S. marshals
dragged Durr from Crouch.
White-faced and trembling, he
was then led from the courtroom
by friends. He had attended the
nearings aaiuraay under tne eye
of a physician.
Crouch Fridav charged that
Durr had been a Communist,
wniie uurr was acting as an at

In his letters, Morse wrote:
"Portland has had serious un
employment for many months
, It is also pertinent that
retail sales in Portland in 1954
have been consistently below the
retail sales in comparable weeks
m 1953."
URGES CHANGE
Morse also urged a change in
present policies under which no
labor area classification is made
for communities which are not
part of metropolitan centers of at
least 50,000.
"My own state is composed of
many small clues and towns
which cannot qualify under
present policies as distress
areas," he wrote. "Yet there are
several counties with covered im.
employment of 20 per cent or
more."
He said that while there has
been the usual spring upturns in
employment and business they
are not as strong and definite"
