McCarthy." Hensel started out as one of the principals accused by Mc Carthy and his aides of trying to use Pvt. G. David Schine as e "hostage" to sidetrack a subcom mittee probe of alleged Reds in the Army. The charges named Secretary of the Army Stevens and Army Counselor John G Adams, with Hensel listed as mastermind of the accusations brought by the Army side against McCarthy. The Army accused McCarthy, subcommittee counsel Roy M. Cohn and Francis P. Carr, sub committee chief of staff, of hav ing sought by improper means to win favored Army treatment for Schine a former subcommittee aide. PARTY-LINE VOTE Midway in the hearings the senators on a straight party-line vote, 4-3, dismissed Hensel and Carr as principals without ex pressing formal findings as to the charges against them. Hensel Sunday submitted a sworn affidavit for the subcom tee record saying McCarthy ad mitted he had no factual basis for the charges against him. Furthermore, Hensel said, Mc Carthy once offered in a conver sation with him to withdraw the charges if this could be done without making the senator ap pear to the public as a "dam fool." McCarthy left last weekend for a weeks vacation at an unan nounced spot and could not be reached for comment. He has not publicly retracted his accusa tions against Hensel. In sub stance, these are that Hensel guided the Army charges against McCarthy in the hope of warding off a McCarthy investigation of whether Hensel, while a Navy official in World War II, im properly profited through his financial interest in a private firm. quotes McCarthy The affidavit repeated in detail Hensel's earlier denials of any wrongdoing, and went on to quote a McCarthy statement in a closed subcommittee session as part of what it claimed was proof the senator had no basis for his charges. The transcript quoted McCarthy as saying: 'I read that Struve Hensel was the man who drafted the charges. go back and I check my file and I find we had been investi gating Struve Hensel in a minor fashion since last December. I add two and two and I assume that is the motive. I put that in my charges. Hensel said this showed Mc Carthy "added two and two to gether and did not care whether he got four, five, seven or eight.

Firemen Check 5,273 Homes In Safety Tour More than 5,273 Eugene homes have been checked so far in the fire department's current home safety inspection tour. Fire de partment officials said Monday that this is approximately two thirds of all homes in Eugene. Crews were busy early Monday morning making house-to house calls throughout the remainder of the city. The inspection lour is made to acquaint residents with fire hazards. The firemen simply tell occupants of some of the hazard ous conditions spotted on the home tour. Occupants are not required to let the firemen inspect the homes. In the last report, firemen were refused admittance to a total of 221 homes in the city. That's since the program began on June 1. One of the worst offenses found so far, according to fire officials, is the use of "extension cord wir ing." Fire Marshal Lester Bark er said there were 291 cases of such wiring. There have also been 784 cases of overfusing a companion hazard with the ex tension cord wiring, he said.

The motorist, Harold D. Hays, 446 E. 12th Ave., was arrested by Lane County Sheriff's depu ties after Hays' vehicle failed to make a turn onto Bertelsen Rd. and ran into a house occupied by Kenneth E. Bowser. The house was heavily damaged, deputies said. In court Monday, Hays told Disrict Judge Chester N. Anderson: "I believe I fell asleep at the wheel." A sheriff's deputy told the court, however, that skid marks measured 195 feet and that alco holic beverages were found in the car. In another case, Billy Jo Thompson, 21, Veneta, was sen tenced to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to being drunk on a public highway. Donald C.

This will be a continuation of a meeting started last Thursday night. Both groups made state ments and gave background of the issue between the two, but took no action in the attempt to get together. The Bethel committee has been defending petitions now in the hands of the county board of commissioners calling for forma tion of Bethel City northwest of Eugene. The commissioners have Been delaying a boundary deci sion until all sides are studied. Eugene councilmen have been fighting for further delay in an effort to inform the citizens of the Bethel-Danebo district on all aspects of annexation to Eugene. Members of the county board said Monday that they will prob ably delay the boundary decision again, after conclusion of a pub lic meeting slated for Tuesday at 10 a. m. They said the Lane County district attorney has told them the decision could be held back to permit further study of new petitions for boundary changes. Meanwhile, City Councilman Ray Siegenthaler Monday was preparing a question and answer form for distribution to Bethel citizens. The sheet explains the city council s side of the issue, with answers to questions the Bethel people migh't ask about annexation to Eugene.
