Cafe Operator
Accused by Con
Klamath Falls, June 18 on
A San Quentin convict was the
tar performer Friday atternoon
In justice court at Tulelake and
Leonard Evans, 58-year-old for
mer Tulelake cafe operator,
heard himself described as the
"brains" behind the March 3,
46, robbery of El Rancho Tule
roadhouse on the Oregon-California
line south of here.
Evans is one of four persons
charged with murder and com
plicity to commit burglary In
connection with the S13.000 rob
bery and slaying of Nightwatch
man Charlie Twigg. He was or
dered bound over to the Califor
nia superior court for further
action following the preliminary
hearing.
Tom Allen, brought up from
San Quentin as the prosecution's
star witness, pointed out Evans
as a leading plotter and "alibi"
man for the robbery conspiracy.
Allen himself faces prosecution
for the conspiracy, along with
Marvin (Moon) Morris, a Fol
som prison long-termer, and C.
E. (Red) Milhorn, Klamath
Falls policeman held in jail
here.
Milhorn's name was brought
into Friday's hearing only once,
hurriedly by Allen. His testi
mony was directed primarily at
Evans. Presumably Milhorn
will have a similar hearing
later,
Allen talked freely but used
a prison jargon that at times
nearly threw his listeners for a
loss.
Editor on Payroll
Of Romania
Washington, June 18 U.
Three former attaches of the
Romanian legation today charg
ed that the editor of a Roman
ian-language weekly newspaper
in Detroit was on the legation's
private payroll.
They made the charges before
a senate judiciary subcommit
tee after Harry Fainaru, the
editor of Romanul American,
denied before the subcommit
tee that he ever received any
money from the legation or Ro
manian diplomats.
Contradicting him were Pam
fil Rlposanu, former first coun
selor of the Romanian legation;
Mircea Metes, former first sec
retary, and Alfons Vogel, former
press counselor. All three quit
their diplomatic jobs after the
communist coup in Romania.
Fainaru admitted under com
mittee questioning that he is a
member of the communist party.
He protested what he called
"the $84 question," saying it is
an invasion of his constitutional
rights. But he added that "any
body knows who knows any
thing about my activity that I
am a member."
The committee Is Investigat
ing the activities of diplomats
of communist countries with an
eye to amending the Immigra
tion laws to expedite the depor
tation of subversive aliens.
Former Communist Budeni
recently told the committee that
rainaru was one or nts com
munist "contacts" while he was
active In the party.

Don't Send Car
License Fees
Many motor vehicle owners
already are sending in their
19S0 auto license fees to the reg
istration division, the secretary
of state's office reported today.
And the division has found that
most of the fees are incorrect,
requiring considerable corre
spondence and refunding from
the office.
The 1949 legislature raised
the annual registration fee from
$3 to $10, but also provided for
a staggered renewal system in
which one-twelfth of the licenses
will expire each month after
May 31, 1951. This requires a
transition period in which fees
will vary from $5.10 to $14.45,
and the plates will be good for
periods ranging from six to 17
months. In no case will the
amount be exactly $10 for the
transition period. After that,
all plates will be good for one
year at $10.
To avoid misunderstandings
regarding the new system, the
office emphasized:
1. All 1949 licenses will ex
pire December 31, 1949, the
same as in former years.
2. The renewal fee for the
new license will be deferered by
the number of the present
license. Expiration date will be
shown on the plate.
3. All vehicle owners will re
ceive an application form show
ing the amount due in plenty of
time for obtaining the new
plates.
4. Owners are requested not
to send in earlier applications
unless they know the fee which
will apply. Fee schedules will
be given wide distribution this
summer.

The speaker was Judge Frank

"Our greatest danger today Is

the Judge said. "That and thj

Judge Loncrgan said he could
not agree with President Tru

Brennan Asks
Hogs Subsidy
Washington, June 18 IPi Sec
retary of Agriculture Brannan
said today his new production
subsidy proposal for hogs' Is
aimed only at meeting a possible
crisis.
He denied in testimony before
a senate agriculture subcommit
tee that it is designed as an
"opening wedge" in a change of
philosophy about price support
operations.
Brannan met with the sena
tors while indications built up
that bipartisan support may get
behind a separate proposal for
possibly the highest price sup
ports ever attempted by the
government, based in part on
Brannan's idea.
Brannan said the hog plan Is
offered "simply to assure farm
ers that if and when there should
be a break in the market they
will be protected." He added
that it would help the agricul
ture department meet any down
ward trend in prices "more effi
ciently and with less expense."
He commented that since leg
islation to put the program into
effect was introduced, hog
prices have risen "and they did
n't go as low as we expected."

Riot Feared at
De Gaulle Meet
Paris, June 18 (Pi An esti
mated 20,000 to 25.000 police,
many of them steel-helmeted and
carrying gas masks, patrolled
Paris streets today to head off
a possible riot involving com
munists and rightists.
Two big demonstrations took
place on the ninth anniversary of
General Charles De Gaulle's his
toric appeal: "France has lost
a battle; she has not lost the
war.
De Gaulle's political followers
massed to hear him speak at the
edge of the city. The occasion
was the renaming of the avenue
d Orleans for the late Gen
Philippe Leclerc. It was down
this street that Leclerc's second
armored division marched to
liberate the city, five-years ago
in August.
The communists, who charge
that De Gaulle's people are ap
propriating the ceremony for
political purposes, held a counter-demonstration
about half a
mile away.
Fists flew an hour after De
Gaulle finished speaking.
Police who had been ordered
to stop any parade by either De
Gaullists or communists, halted
about 100 young followers of the
general when they started

Czech Prelate
Leaves Palace
Prague, June 18 a Catholic
Archbishop Josef Beran emerg
ed tonight from his palace where
he has been under secret police
surveillance the last four days.
He left to participate in religious
services at Strahov monastery.
Catholics by the scores enter
ed the monastery as the arch
bishop drove up with other
priests.
Many doubtless came to hear
whether he would make any
new pronouncement against the
communist government in the
continuing church-state feud.
A close friend of Beran nad
predicted earlier in the day that
the prelate would test the inten
tions of watchful police by leav
ing his residence.
A reliable diplomatic report
said an official of the central
action committee of the national
oolitical front has been placed
in charge of the archbishop's
palace.
Archbishop Beran for some
months has led the campaign
against the government's plan to
take over schools and abolish
church papers.
In recent weeks he has sent
out a number of letters breath
ing defiance of government de
crees. The government's cry against
the Catholic heirarchy is tha
the Vatican interferes with
Czechoslovakian sovereignty.

imately 550 employes of the
North Coast Greyhound lines
walked off their jobs at 1 a.m.
(PDT) today, halting north-
south bus service in western

ute agreement averted a threat
ened strike on the Northwest

ducted by the companies and the
two locals.
The 260 members of local
1055 were ordered to continue
working while they consider a
