Field Denies
He Ever Spied
For Anyone
LONDON (UP) American arch
itect Hermann Field told a press
conference today he never was a
Communist or a Western spy.
- He said Red Poland hes paid
liim $50,000 indemnity lor the more
than live years he spent in a War
saw suburban jail.
- Field, whose home is in Cleve
land, wept as he told, lor the first
time the full story of his Iron
Curtain imprisonment. He broke
down when he told of seeing the
American ambassador in Warsaw
for the first time after his release
and again when he spoke of his
reunion with his wife and his two
young sons.
Still obviously nervous from his
ordeal, but appearing to be in good
health, Field said he never was
physically mistreated by Polish
authorities.
"However, I was subjected to
extreme psychological tensions,"
he said. "There was a general
effort at exhaustion. I had very
little sleep during the periods of
questioning which went on some
times seven hours at a stretch."
. Field said that during his entire
imprisonment, from mid-September
19-19 until his release Oct. 25.
1954, he never was permitted out
of doors. "
He said he discovered, during
his interrogation, that the princi
pal thing the Poles held against
him was the work he had done in
Cracow In 1939 on behalf of Czech
oslovak refugees from Hitler.
"This apparently was miseon
slrucd as part of a British-Ameri
can plan to subvert the postwar
Czech regime," he said: 'As Po
land has by now discovered, this
was not the case and I have never
been an agent for anybody."
Storm Warnings
Up in Midwest
By UNITED PRESS
Blizzard warnings were hoisted
In Nebraska and Kansas today as
a new wintry storm roared out
of the Northwest.
The storm, which raced east
ward on two fronts, was also ex
pected to bring near-blizzard con
ditions to southeast Wyoming and
eastern Colorado. .
Summery temperatures in the
lower Midwest and Southwest were
due to vanish when the storm,
followed by a blast of cold air,
hit the areas.
The storm came whistling out of
Canada Thursday, dropping the
temperature at Cutbank, Mont., 4-1
degrees to 19. Eight inches of snow
hit Sheridan, Wyo., and five inches
full on Eagle, Colo.
In the Texas Panhandle and
western Kansas 50-mile-per-hour
winds kicked up towering clouds
of dust.
Two to three inches' of snow was
expected at Denver, Colo., by dawn
ending a midwinter "heat wave"
which sent the temperature up to
5" Thursday.
Warning Issued
To Irrigationists
PRINEVILLE Irrigationists of
the Crooked river valley have
been warned in a preli
minary forecast that water sup
plies may be short in the coming
season, as a result of the light
snow pack in the Ochocos.
Ochoco reservoir storage will be
available, but not in the overflow
quantities of the' past few years.
Ochoco lake, with a usable capac
ity of 46,000 acre feet, now. holds
21,700 acre feet against 33.800
acre feet this time last year.
Snow surveys taken about Feb.
1 in the Crooked river area show
a snow depth at Derr meadows of
21 inches, with a moisture content
of 7.4 inches. Last year's water
content for that area on Feb. 1
was 9.7 inches. Ochoco meadow?
show an even poorer outlook, with
4 4 inches of water ns against the
25-year average of 7.4.
The Marks creek snow- cover
holds 2.8 inches of moisture as
against the 17 year average of 3.9
Water content In snow in that
nrea fast year was 6 inches on
Feb. 1.
The annual water forecast meet
ing will be held in the early
soring, and at that time it is ex
pected that all districts, other than
those watered by the Desehute
reservoir, will receive a warning
of a season of short storage.
However. It Is conceded that a
damn sprint, during the growlnp
season, could change the some
what gloomy present picture.

Rayburn Warns Hell Need Help
From Ike on Foreign Trade Bill 1
By VINCENT J, Bl'RKE
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON (UP) Speaker
Sam Rayburn, credited with saving
President Eisenhower's foreign
trade bill yesterday, warned l.e
could not do it again today without
more administration help.
By implication he put the tariff-
cutting bill's fate in the House
squarely up to the President and
his Republican backers. The Tex
as Democrat told reporters:
"If they (the, Republicans) don't
produce more than the 65 votes
they produced for the bill yester
day it probably will be recommit
ted." Rayburn spoke out as the House
headed toward a showdown vote
on a recommittal motion by which
high tariff protectionists hoped to
revamp the measure before final
passage.
" Compromise Sought '
. The protectionists were confident
of Victory, as a result of their
strong showing yesterday.
President Eisenhower s GOP
lieutenants sought with no ap
parent success to work out a com
promise with Rep. Daniel A. Reed
(R-NY) who had full charge of the
final assault to weaken the bill.
Reed's recommittal motion
would strip the President of some
of his discretionary power to over
rule Tariff Commission recom
mendations for restrictions against
imports competing with American
industry.
Rayburn's dramatic plea to the
House yesterday was credited with
the one-vote margin by which the
House barred other amendments.
But he told a reporter he was not
taking any personal credit.
Pick 29 Trade 3rd Pgh Despite
Showdown Vote Due
Despite White House opposition,
Reed seemed determined to at
tempt to write Into the Reciprocal
Trade Law the strongest tariff
protectionist language in its, 21
year history.
Democratic and Republican lead
ers were buttonholing aououui
members on both sides of the aisle
for the final showdown vote. GOP
Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. de
clined to say whether there was
any chance of a compromise he
could support.
President Eisenhower was re
ported to have written a letter to
Martin urging the House to sup
oort his program. Martin said he
was expecting a letter from the
President and if it arrived he
would read it to the House.
Reed hoped to revamp the bill
on a motion to recommit it to the
Ways and Means Committee the
only weapon left to protectionists.
Reversing itself in a dramatic
sec-saw battle, the House Thurs
day beat down efforts to open the
bill to a stack of restrictive amend-
-nents. The final victory came on
'.he third roll call by a one-vote

Three-Year Extension
The "gag" rule against amend
ments was finally adopted 193 to
192. It was supported by 128 Dem
ocrats and 65 Republicans and op

Republicans.
The House had at first refused
to consider a gag-rule on a 207
to 178 rollcall but then under
pressure from its leaders re
versed itself.
The bill would iiberalize and ex
tend for another three years the
President's power to negotiate re
ciprocal tariff-cutting agreements
with othe nations.

by Reed, would rewrite a vital

Wayne Bolts
It's Now
PORTLAND (UP) Sen. Wayne
L. Morse, who bolted the Republi
can party in 1952, announced last
night that he has joined the Demo-
craic party and will seek re
election next year us a Democrat.
He said in a speech at a cheer
ing Multnomah county Democratic
rally here that he was joining the
Democrats officially because he
beieves that is the best way to
advance the cause of liberalism
in American politics.
Morse had registered as a Demo
crat in the afternoon at the Lane
county courthouse at Eugene.
Count Now 49-47
His official switch to the Demo
cratic party leaves the Senate with
49 Democrats and 47 Republicans.
It is because I have become
convinced that I can make my
best contribution to a legislative
program that will best serve the
people of Oregon, and the nation,
under the banner of the Demo
cratic party that I now announce
my intention to run for reelection
to the Senate in 1956 as a Demo
crat," he said.
Morse campaigned for Adai E.
Stevenson, 1952 Democratic presi
dential nominee, after he broke
with the Republican party. He also
voted with Democrats this year for
control of the Senate and sits on
the Democratic side of the aisle.
First Official Word
But last night's announcement
was the. first official word that he
would seek reelection in 1956 as a
Democrat. His announcement end
ed his two-year tenure as the Sen
ate's lone Independent.
Outlining his reasons for switch
ing party alignment, Morse told

fallacy" to consider "party regu-

Anti-Wiretap
Move Backed
By Churches
By WIMJAM WABKEN
United Press Staff Correspondent
SALEM WP) The churches
spoke out against wire tapping as
an invasion of the privacy of the
individual late yesterday at a
hearing before the Senate Judici
ary Committee headed by Sen.
Warren Gill (R-Lebanon).
Their representatives spoke In
favor of what was referred to as
a "bi-partisan bill" to outlaw wire
tapping In Oregon and making
violation a felony.
Rev. Alfred Stenner of Spring
field, chairman of the legislative
committee of -the Oregon Council
of Churches, said "it is as import
ant to protect the innocent as it is
to' catch the guilty."
He made this slatement in an
swer to questions as to whether
her thought wire tapping should lie
allowed in the case of such serious
police Work as catching a kidnaper
or apprehending a subversive.
Discussion had indicated that the
bill is aimed at wire lapping by
private agencies to obtain evidence
in i dvorce cases; by a business
man to damage a competitor, and
by blackmailers.
Rev. Stenner drew a laugh from
the committee when, in answer to
a question as to whether he
thought federal agents were justi
fied in tapping wires to catch boot
leggers in the prohibition era, he
said:
,",No, senator. In the first place,
I am not in favor of prohibition."
Rep. G. D Gleason (D-Port-land),'
who has been in telephone
Mmmunications work for 30 years,
said he was against wire tapping
a mans home or office because
it Is about the same as search and
seizure without warrant.
Sen. Gill asked him If he thought
there should be exceptions, as in
the case of catching Communists
or kidnaDers. Hod. Gloason said

SALEM (UP) Oregon water
skiers last night came to the de
fense of their sport and of one of
the best lakes for the snort in the
Cascades when they appeared be
fore the House Fish and Game
Committee to oppose House bill
lKt. ,
The bill, introduced by Rep.
Boyd Overhulse (D-Madras) at the
request of Suttle lake resort own
ers, would add Suttle lake to the
list of other Oregon lakes where
a 10 mile per hour speed limit Is
imposed on speed boats. .
Paul and Oral Cummings, oper
ators of . the Sutlle lake resort,
cited instances of reckless boat
handling on the lake and declared
Suttle wus becoming too crowded
with swimmers and fishermen to
accommodate high speed craft
towing skiers. Effect of the Over
hulse bill would be to eliminate
water skiing from Suttle.
Leading a delegation of sports
men 'and water enthusiasts was
Robert Chandler, publisher of the
Bend Bulletin who appeared as a
representative of the Bend Izaak
Walton League and the Deschutes
County Sportsmen's Association.
Chandler said the proposed leg
islation was the wrong approach
to the Suttle lake problem. Polic
ing by responsible boatmen In high
speed boats, he said, could easily
control irresponsible and reckless
operators without driving water
skiers off one of the last suitable
lakes of Its kind in central Oregon.
Enforcement of present laws would
solve the problem, he said.
Representatives of Albany, Leb

appeared to oppose the bill.
