Horseburger
Case in Court
! Portland, June 29 (Pi Two
brothers, charged with turning
horsemeat into hamburger, went
' on trial in a packed municipal
courtroom today.
Ernest and Ivan Crystal, own
: ers of the Salem Meat company
of Portland, entered pleas of
Innocent to the charges of ille
gal possession of horse meat and
ale of horse meat not so labeled.
A surprise witness was Fred
Adam of the Adams Packing
company, Hillsboro. He said
he deals only in the sale of horse
meat as food for animals. The
Salem Meat company made
weekly purchases from him, he
said, adding that the Crystal
brothers told him the meat was
re-sold as pet food.
Municipal Judge John B. Sea
brook interrupted testimony to
ask why he made deliveries at
6 a.m. Adams said the Crystal
brothers set the hour.
Adams reappeared instead of
a third defendant, Stanley
Rlckard, who was arrested as a
material witness in the June 22
raid on the packing plant here.
Rickard is Adams' foreman and
made the deliveries.
Thomas Bain, chief city health
and sanitation inspector, testi
fied to finding 1500 pounds of
horse meat in the plant when he,
other city officials and detec
tives made the arrests.
U. S. Bond Prices
Stage Sharp Rise
New York, June 29 P) -U.S.
treasury bond prices staged
their sharpest rise in years today
as the government in effect
moved to make them harder to
get.
Bid prices of long-term gov
ernment issues made advances
ranging up to an extreme of
about 50 cents per $100 bond for
the 2s of September, 1972-67,
which were quoted at one time
at $104.50 bid. Normal daily
fluctuation for the long-term ob
ligations over most of this year
has been about three to six
cents per bond.
Government bond houses
here said demand was substan
tial, but could not be satisfied
since offerings were few. Some
dealers said many would-be in
stitutional buyers, such as banks
and insurance companies, bid
for large blocks of bonds today
in the belief the price rise would
continue.
The upward movement fol
lowed directly last night's state
ment by the federal open mar
ket committee, which said in
part:
"The federal open market
committee, after consulting with
the treasury, announced today
that with a view to increasing
the supply of funds available in
the market to meet the needs of
commerce, business and agricul
ture it will be the policy of the
committee to direct purchases,
sales and exchanges of govern
ment securities by the federal
reserve banks with primary re
gard to the general business and
credit situation."
This guarded statement was
Interpreted as meaning that in
order to induce banks to lend
money more freely to businesses,
the federal reserve system
would be less free in selling
from its portfolio of govern
ment securities, thereby forcing
prices up and lowering the inter
est yield.

Klan Chief on
Talmadge Staff
Atlanta, June 29 (Pi Is the
grand dragon of the Ku Klux
Klan a member of Gov. Herman
Talmadge's personal staff?
Talmadge said at his press
conference yesterday, "I don't
know."
Grand Dragon Sam Green
said, "Sure. I've been a member
of the governor's staff since his
inauguration."
Secretaries in the executive
office said they couldn't remem
ber whether the head of the
Klan, now on U.S. Attorney
General Tom Clark's list of sub
versives, was a member.
The secretaries added that
they didn't know where to find
a copy of staff appointments.
The matter of Dr. Green's
staff membership was brought
up by a reporter after another
newspaperman, earlier in the
week, spotted what appeared to
be a framed commission in Dr.
Green's office.
This commission, dated Nov.
17, 1948, bore Talmadge's name
and designated Dr. Green as a
lieutenant colonel and aide-decamp.
Throughout the 1948 guber
natorial campaign at various
Klan rallies, Dr. Green plumped
for the "white supremacy" can
didate. Talmadge's campaign was
predicated on maintaining white
supremacy at the polls.

Czechs Use Guns
Upon Catholics
Prague, Czechoslovakia, June
29 (U.R) Communist militiamen
armed with tommy guns today
subdued Catholic villagers in
central Czechoslovakia after they
had rioted for four days because
police tried to arrest their
priests, a witness to the disorders
reported tonight.
The witness said the uprising
began Sunday when carloads of
police swooped down on four
villages in the region of Turcian
sky Svaty Martin, some 200 miles
east of Prague just across the
Moravian border in Slovakia,
The trouble subsided only after
martial law was declared over
a 100-square-mile area of the
strongly Catholic region near
Zilina.
i
The iour priests whom police
were trying to arrest still were
reported to be free, the witness
said. His report indicated the
events in that area were the most
turbulent of the long struggle
between the church and the state.

Showers Worrying
Cherry Growers
Rainfall in a new series of
showers for the Salem area
measured .11 of an inch in the
24-hour period ending at 10:30
a. m. Wednesday.
The amount brings the
month's total to .96 of an inch,
or .22 of an inch below normal
but above the total fall for June
of last year. Only .38 on an inch
fell for the entire. month of June
in 1948.
Continued rain would bring
worries to those winding up the
cherry harvest and to those with
hay down and the Cherryland
Festival association is hoping
there will be no more rain the
remainder of the week with the
festival opening Thursday. The
month has been marked by rela
tively cool daytime tempera
tures, the record showing sever
al days with below normal mean
temperatures.
Rain Ends Drought
In Inland Empire
Spokane, June 29 W) Rain
over most of the Inland Empire
today eased a prolonged drought.
The rain, which turned to
snow on some of the higher
mountains, came too late in some
areas to provide maximum help
to crops. However, it cheered
wheat farmers somewhat in the
Palouse area and cut down the
fire danger in the area's forests
and ranges.
Two inches of snow fell on
Mount Spokane. The rain in Spo
kane was light. The weather bur
eau reported overnight falls of
.19 inches at Couer d Alene, .23
inches at Grangeville and .18
inches at Lewiston in Idaho.
Heavy rains were reported in
western Lincoln county.

Hoover V. Plan
Rejected by Gray
Washington, June 29 (U.R)
Veterans Administrator Carl R.
Gray, Jr., has rejected in full
Hoover commission proposals
for reorganizing the veterans ad
ministration, it was learned to
day. In a sharply critical letter to
Chairman John E. Rankin, (D
Miss) of the house veterans com
mittee, Gray dismissed the pro
posals either as useless, costly or
actually harmful to good serv
ice. He centered his fire especially
on the commission's plan to
abolish veterans hospitals as
such, lumping them under a sin
gle government health agency
along with hospitals of the army,
navy and public health service.
"The high standard of (medi
cal) care which has been attain
ed by the veterans administra
tion would necessarily be lower
ed by a merger of our program
with other programs," Gray
said. "I must strongly recom
mend against the adoption of
this recommendation."
Gray turned thumbs down on
proposed creation of an inde
pendent "government insurance
corporation" to handle GI insur
ance. The present "inteerated
system," he said, is cheaper.
tie dismissed as an invasion
of "proper and sound" state pre
rogative a proposal to give the
federal government more say

creation of a new veterans bene
