S2nd Year Two Sections Mill Drops Suit Against State Board The suit brought by Brooks Scanlon, Inc., against the state Board of Conciliation has been dismissed on motion ol the plain tiff by Circuit Judge Ralph S. Hamilton. Hearing on the motion for dis- m'ssal was held in local circuit court. Judge Hamilton ordered dismis sal on grounds that the labor dis pule the board intended to investi gate had been settled. The board was asked in early September of last year to probe the summer-long strike called by nd Local 6-7, International Woodworkers, Inc., against the Brooks-Scanlon, Inc., mill. Request for Ihe board's invest! galion of the local dispute was . made through Local 6-7. Suit against the board was filed by the mill to prevent service of subpoenas on mill officials order ing them to produce and display at a hearing the company's finan cial records. Injunction Obtained A temporary injunction was se cured through the circuit court by the mill preventing service of the subpoenas, and from there the le gal buttle between the mill and the state board began. A hearing was held in circuit court on Oct. 9 at which both the mill and the board presented their key arguments. The board was represented by Attorney General Rdbert Y. Thornton. In subsequent briefs, attorneys for the mill argued that since the strike between the union and mill had been settled and the men were back to work the board had no jurisdiction to probe the mill's records. MonVbers of Local 6-7 voted to return to work Sept. 25, and in early November a contra'ct was signed by union and mill repre sentatives. Motion Filed Thornton, in a motion for a de claratory judgement filed late last month, asked the court to decide constitutional questions raised by the plaintiff in the suit. Thornton pointed out that the mill in its suit raised several ques tions about the constitutionality of some of the board's functions and asked that these, questions be settled. Judge Hamilton advised that he was powerless under the law to make such rulings since tne ais- pute between the mill and the board became "moot" with the settlement of the strike. Yugoslavs Free BELGRADE (UP) Two top Yugoslav Communists charged with spreading 'subversive propa ganda" were freed early today after a district court gave them light suspended sentences. The men were Milovnn Djila;- who was sentenced to 18 months and Vladimir Dedijer who drew a six-month sentence. They were placed on probation for two and three years. During their periods of "good behavior" they must avoid arresl (ind, presumably, tvoid giving any mure interviews to the foreigr press which express criticism of the government. Their one-day trial was held in strictest secrecy after a public reading of the indictment. It was a series of interview! with foreign correspondents last December tliat brought them ti trial. Dedijer, who has representee Yugoslavia at the United Natiom in New York, wrote the officia biography of President Tito am until a month ago was a membei of the Communist party Centra Committee. Djilas was a vice Resident tin til be was ousted n grounds In issued subversi- e propaganda aimed at underlining the "pres ent social eco lomic and politico order."

I 15 -1 " DAILY NEWSPAPER Tuesday, January 25. 1955 Peress Case Reopening Set By McQellan WASHINGTON (UP) The Sen ile Investigating Subcommittee, reorganized under Democratic con trol, was ready today to take mother look at the Army's luind- ling of the Peress case. Sen. John L. McClellan of Ark ansas, new Denwcratic chairman of the group, said another investi gation of the case 'will be among our first projects." Maj. Irving Peress, a New York dentist, re fused to tell a former committee chairman, Sen. Joseph R. McCar thy, whether he was a Communist, and the Army later gave him an honorable discharge. McClellan said the subcommittee also will go into other investiga tions left over from McCarthy's regime. These include the ques tion of East-West trade with Iron Curtain nations, lite inquiry into the Army radar center at Ft. Monmouth, N J., and the investiga tion of alleged Communists in de fense plants. Kelui'tunt Soldier The subcommittee also will look into the case of Pfc. Marvin S. Belsky, a dratted physician who ducked the Communist question. McCarthy today renewed his de mand for a dishonorable discharge for Belsky. McCarthy told Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens in a letter ihal "the strongest informa tion you could possibly find" is Ihe fact that Belsky last March 4 refused to answer questions ubout Communist activities before Me Carlhy's subcommittee. "His refusal to answer would be onsidered evidence that his an swers would have been in the af firmative, had he answered," said McCarthy. "I can't think of any stronger evidence required." Budget Approved McClellan also reaffirmed his de cision not to hold any one-man hearings, a practice which was iharply criticized during McCar hy's tenure as committee chair man On The Inside Sports Society Editorials Local News Comics Classified Fast On Ik - ". ; !

(Bond Bulletin Photo). ction Expected e's Arms Reouest Hero Immortalized by Famed Mt. Suribachi PHOENIX, Ariz. (UP) Expos ure ami too mucn alcohol was blamed today for the death of Ira Hayes, one of six Marines who raised the United States flag atop Iwo Jinia's Mt. Suribachi during World War II. The body of the 32-year-old Pima Indian was found yesterday lying on the ground in Ihe village of Bapchule on the Gila River In dian reservation where he had worked prior lo his death. Dr. John Parks, physician on Ihe reservation, said the military hero apparently had died from exposure n freezing weather and overcon- sumption of alcohol. The death of Hayes leaves alive only two of Ihe six Marines who took part in the historic flag rais ing that was immortalized in the famous photograph taken by Joe Rosenthal in Ihe bnllle for Iwo .lima in 1945. No Foul Tiny A monument depicting the dram atic hoisting of the stars an Board to Eye Plan to Aid College Here PORTLAND (UP) The State Board of Higher Education today agreed to. study a proposal to help out a community college at Bend and indicated It might undertake an investigation on possibility rf junior colleges elsewhere in Ore gon. Robert Chandler, publisher of the Bend Bulletin, said the 100- sludent Central Oregon Commun- ily College is growing so fust that stale money might be needed In the near future. It now is financed by local school district funds. Chandler said the school pro vides a valuable educational chore in helping students get two years of junior college work in prepar ing for upper division college courses. He said some steps have been taken at the Legislature to have the state finance all junior and community colleges but that he favored a plan under which Ihe slale would pay only half their costs. Various school districts served by the college should pay the rest, provided slate law can be amended lo accomplish this, he said. The cost of educating a student at the Central Oregon school runs about $180 a year while oilier In stitutions of higher learning In Ore gon need $500 a year or more for each student. ETIN Twelve Pages Photo Dead stripes recently was erected In Washington, D.C. Parks said Hayes apparently had been drinking with six companions during the night and had wandered off by himself into the desert. Parks said there was no indication of foul play. In San Francisco, Rosenthal ex pressed grief upon learning of the tragic death of the Arizona Indian boy on the reservation where he hud. lived since his discharge from the marine corps. "He didn't want to be a grand- stander," said Rosenthal, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his memorable photograph atop Mt. Suribachi. I feel terrible. He was a great guy. A quiet-spoken guy." Too Much Credit Rosenthal, now a photographer on the San Francisco Chronicle, said "there was no secret'' about Hayes' drinking, which he des cribed as a "psychological quirk." It had something to do with his position as a hero utter the war," Rosenthal said. "He told me he felt he was getting credit for a lot of things that other men deserved. The two others still alive are, Rene Gagnorh Manchester, N.H., und John II. Bradley of Wisconsin Hayes enlisted In the Marine Corps In 19-12 and was a private first class when he fought on Iwo Jlma. He and the two other sur vivors of the Hag-raising were brought to the U.S. at the per sonal request of the late President Roosevelt. On Border Area SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (UP)- A six-mile frontier "buffer zone" separating Costa Rlcan and Nica raguan troops ceased to exist to day. Both nations were asked to do everything possible to avoid border Incidents." Nicaragunn President Anaslaslo Somoza said Monday the border situation Is "very dangerous," and added "if one drop of Nicaragua!! blood Is shed, It means war." The Organization of American States, which created the neutral zone between Costa Rica and Nica ragua last week, authorized Costa Rlcan troops to enter it today to try to drive out 250 to 300 rebels who have been "squalling" in the area since Friday. Al Ihe same lime, the organiza tion appealed to both nations con cerned "lo adopt all measures ne cessury to avert border incidents." Shortly afterward, OAS observ ers reported at least eight truck loads of Costa Rican troops, pro tooted by armored scout cars racing northward lo Ihe zone bnundry. Costa Rican President Jose r I gueres said Monday night he has plenty of fresh troops on the edgi of the buffer zone." In Managua. Somoza said more than 10 Iruckloads of Nicaragua!! Iroons have reached the zoneY northern boundary, with more on the way. .
