Astoria-Slide
Menaces More
Hillside Homes
Astoria, April 17 " Two
homes were added today to the
list of buildings that must be
moved from Astoria's Coxcomb
hill as it slips nine feet daily to
ward the Columbia river.
They brought to six the num
ber of houses slated for moving
this week. Thirteen have been
moved, three were smashed to
kindling last month and another
Is riding the crest of the phenom
lnal earth flow.
The slide began in January
after 12 inches of rain and 30
inches of wet snow soaked
through 30 feet of topsoil to a
layer of clay limestone.
Lubricated by the -water, the
limestone shelf permitted a big
chunk of topsoil to begin sliding
downhill to damage or destroy
23 homes, tear up streets and
sidewalks, and rip up utilities. '
Buver Appears
Meanwhile, city officials said
an anonymous resident has re
quested permission to buy prop
erty now being ruined by the
slide.
"I think that property is going
.to be about the most stable in
Astoria when this slide stops,"
he is reported as saying, "and I
want to build a house on It."
Officials said they would not
sell the slithering land at this
time. The city is giving public
land to residents losing their
property in the earth flow.
Dr. Harvey Rones said no one
has offered to buy his home and
property for $4,000 cash. He put
It up for sale the day 12 feet of
his backyard broke loose and
headed for the river.
Taft-Hartley
Revision Hit
Washington, April 17 mi The
senate executive expenditures
committee recommended today
that the senate veto two of Presi
dent Truman's 21 reorganization
plans.
One of these plans would in
effect amend the Taft-Hartley law
by abolishing Robert N. Denham's
job as independent general coun
sel for the national labor relations
board.
The second would transfer the
functions of subordinate treasury
.officials, including, the comptrolt
ler of the currency, to the secre
tary of the treasury.
The committee approved, 9-4, a
resolution asking 'the senate to
reject the labor board plan. The
resolution was sponsored by Sen.
Robert A. Taft, R., O., coauthor
of the Taft-Hartley law.
The resolution to reject the
treasury plan was approved 8-3.
While it affected subordinate
treasury officials in general, the
dispute centered on the comp
troller of the currency, who has
supervision over national banks.
Bankers generally opposed the
plan and Secretary of treasury
John W. Snyder testified that he
did not want the comptroller's au
thority. Those voting to reject the labor
board plan included Sen. Andrew
F. Schoppel, R., Kans.

Escaped Convict
Drives Big Truck
Into Restaurant
Jellico, Tenn., April 17 dli An
escaped convict who drove a pri
son truck into a restaurant hop
ing to kill his wife will be charg
ed with murder, a sheriff's de
puty said today.
Deputy Jimmy Jones at Jacks
boro said the murder charge will
be filed against Richard Rue, a
trusty at the Brushy Mountain
state prison farm.
Rue slipped away from the pri
son farm Saturday night in a one
and a half-ton truck. After an
argument with his wife in the
restaurant where she worked, he
tnok a two-block running start
and drove the truck across the
sidewalk anil into the front of the
restaurant.
His intended victim, Mrs. Rue,
was unscathed, but a bystander,
P. L. Hill, 25-year-old navy veter
an, was carried through a plate
glass window on the bumpers of
the truck and died four hours
later.
Fifteen-year-old Billy Robert
son, a one-legged school boy, was
hit by the truck as he played a
pinball machine inside the restau
rant. He was in critical condition
today with chest injuries and a
punctured lung.
Harold Brown, operator of the
cafe, said that after the truck
plunged into the restaurant fiont,
he grabbed a pistol and shot Rue
in the hip.
Rue was treated by doctors here
and in Jacksboro, where he was
taken for safekeeping, but was
not in serious condition.
Husband Wins
By Picketing
Portland, April 17 HP) Johnny
Anton, the picketing husband,
and his working wife, Betty, have
patched up their quarrel and their
marital life appeared serene to
day. The crisis which threatened to
end their marriage in divorce
court passed when Betty acceded
to Johnny's demands that she give-
up her job and stay home. John
ny brought matters to a head
last Friday when he set up a
one-man picket line in front of
the place where Betty worked.
The husband, who works part
time for a trucking firm, carried
a banner proclaiming Betty "un
fair" to him and their two-year-old
son, Jimmy. Johnny said he
wanted his wife at home, not
working. Besides, he said she had
asked for a divorce.
But Betty countered that some
lOagshad to supporr-jthe -family;
She' said Johnny hadn't been able
to do so.
Betty finally agre"ed to quit
work and come back home. And
Johnny renewed his job-hunting
efforts today. The trucking com
pany helped patch the marital
rift by offering Johnny more
temporary work for a day cr so.

Senate Investigators Call
On Budenz, Get Information
Washington, .April 17 dpi Sen-
ate communist investigators ex
pect a secret preview today on
what Louis F. Budenz knows
about Sen. Joseph R. McCaithy's
charge that Owen 1-ittimoie is a
communist spy.
Jiuuenz, former editor or tne
communist Daily Worker and
now a teacher at Fordham uni
versity, testifies Thursday before
a foreign relations suo commlttee
on what McCarthy calls his "stand
or fall case. ,
Edward P. Morgan, the com
mittee's chief counsel and a one
lime FBI agent, met Budenz
secretly in New York yesterday.
Budenz said Morgan handed him
a subpoena and was in his home
long enough to "chat awhile."
Other Witnesses
Committee members were to
meet privately, later today. It ap
peared likely that Morgan would
give them a fill-in on his talk
with Budenz.
McCarthy intends to submit
later this week the names of ad
ditional witnesses. He declined
comment, but it has been re
ported the list includes Frieda
Utley, a former member of the
British communist parly. McCar
thy has said Miss Utley will tes
tify that Lattimore went over to
the "totalitarian" camp some
years ago.
Chairman Millard E. Tydings,
D Md., described the Budenz
Morgan meeting a "routine check
up" of the former communist's
testimony.
McCarthy, who repeatedly has
criticized Tydings' handling of 1
the inquiry, knew of the meet
ing in advance. He had "no ob
jection" and thought it a "good
idea."
The Wisconsin republican
claims Budenz will put the finger
on Lattimore as a one-time com
munist who was under party
"disciplinary" powers.
Lattimore has sworn under
oath that he is not and never
was a communist or a soviet spy.
He has been offered a chance to
testify again after Budenz ap
pears. No Contempt Action
Sen. Tom Connally, D., Tex.,
chairman of the full committee,
said there is no chance that its
members will vote contempt ac
tion againsl three federal offi
cials who withheld loyalty files
On President Tillman's, orders.
On the contrary, he said, the
Committee may vote to end all
"pressure" for the files.
The senate empowered the sub
committee to subpoena records
of suspected "security risks"
from Secretary of state Dean
Acheson, Attorney general J.
Howard McGrath and Chairman
Harry B. Mitchell of -.the civjl
Service commission. It -'could op
der contempt proceedings againsl
the three men as suggested by
republicans without the judici
ary committees approval.
