Tarem Talks
About Estonia
Ardo Tarem, Estonian YMCA
secretary who came to Salem
as a displaced person to work
at the local Y and Willamette
university, contrasted his local
home today to the space he oc
cupied in an American camp in
Germany.
After reviewing his life under
Russian and German occupa
tions in Estonia, Tarem told
how he was sent to Germany by
the hazis to supervise Estonian
youths in a slave labor camp
for farm work.
When the Americans came in,
he couldn't return to Estonia,
so he worked with the military
government as an interpreter,
occupying small quarters with
eight other families.
"Every meal was like having
a holiday celebration so far as
the number of persons was con
cerned," Tarem recalled. He
said one four-burner stove served
the eight families.
"I just couldn t believe it
when I came to Salem and found
a home waiting with everything
furnished down to the last de
tail," he smiled as he thanks
Salem again.

troops in Yugoslav Macedonia,
between communist Bulgaria and
Albania, and said his soviet
dominated neighbors were
spreading rumors of a possible

Yugoslav leader was quoted by

missing the reports as attempt

was ready to fight any invader.)
Tito Tied to Capitalists .
Referring to the present na
ture of Yugoslav-Russian rela
tions, the soviet note said:
"That certain strong ties bind
the Yugoslav government o r
chief persons in the Yugoslav
government with the camp of
foreign capitalists.
'The Yugoslav government
more and more is joining up
with imperialistic circles (the
west) against the USSR and is in
a bloc with them.
'That the Soviet government
can no longer consider the Yu
goslav government as an ally."

Texas Slaying
(Continued from Page n
Wliilo thnv set In motion the
machinery to secure the Oregon
governor's consent to the extra
dition the Arizona officers went
into a huddle with Texas Ranger
Frank Probst who has been
here several days seeking links
in a chain of evidence to con
nect McEwen with the murder
in Amarillo, Texas, of Tex
Thornton, internationally known
oil field explosive expert, who
was slain 10 days after the Shupe
murder with virtually the iden
tical technique used in each of
the killings.
The Arizona officers say that
McEwen, the alleged killer, was
released from the Arizona peni
tentiary five days before the
Shupe murder. He had been sen
tenced to a three-year stretch
for car theft.
The officers say they have
plenty of witnesses to show that
McEwen made the acquaintance
of Shupe, apparently in a bar
room, and that they were to
gether until about 3 a. m., of the
day of the murder. They say
further witnesses gave the in
formation about that time the
pair drove away from a Phoenix
place with McEwen at the wheel
of Shupe s car.
McEwen, they say, was last
seen in Phoenix about 7 o'clock
in the morning walking along
the street carrying a suitcase.
About 10 o'clock that morning
Shupe's body was found in an
irrigation canal near Scottsdale
a mile east of Phoenix. It was
concealed behind a row of trees
and tall grass. When found it
was attired only In shorts and
a hole had been driven into the
side of his head with some
sharp instrument.
Officers say that Shupe was
supposed to have made a $1600
payment on his citrus ranch
that day and the theory is that
he was found virtually naked be
cause the killer made a search
for a money belt. However, it
was thought he only had about
$50 on him but probably had
told his slayer of his plans to
make the payment on the ranch.
The killing of Tex Thornton
at Amarillo 10 days later took
on about the same picture as
the Arizona murder. Thornton
got acquainted with his presum
ed slayer at a bar, made arrange
ments for the man and a girl
friend to get rooms at an auto
court where Thorton's body was
later found in a room clad only
in shorts, his shirt tied tightly
around his neck. He had four
holes in his head seemingly
made by some sharp instrument.
The head also was badly bruis
ed. One of the officers said it
looked as though he had been
hit by a 2x4 with a spike in it,
The Arizona officers said they
would head out for Arizona with
their man as soon as the gov
ernor signs the papers for his
extradition.
Texas Ranger Frank Probst
will continue his investigation
until he wrings out the last bit
of evidence, he said. He further
said that the description they
have of Thornton's supposed
slayer fits almost identically
into the description of McEwen.
He indicated that he will leave
no effort undone to bolster up
his findings should, by any
chance, the case against McEwen
in Arizona turn sour. But there
was no showing on his part he
would try to take McEwen back
to Texas ahead of the Arizona
officers.
McEwen, according to inform
ation of local officers, came here
from California and took a job
as a boan picker. He was ar
rested after taking a hearse from
a local morgue and wrecking it.
Later he pleaded guilty in dis
trict court to larceny of an
other car but the charge here
will be brushed off for the mur
der charge in Arizona.

Today the committee heard
testimony that Hunt's secretary
delivered to Vaughan's office in
the White House last spring a
memorandum from Maj. Gen. Al
den H. Waitt on the fitness of
certain army officers to succeed
Waitt as army chemical corps
chief.
No replacement was made at
the time.
Waitt on July 16 w a s sus
pended as chemical chief by Sec
retary of the Army Gordon Gray,
along with Maj. Gen. Herman
Feldman, quartermaster general.
Gray said in a statement that
the senate inquiry had turned
up evidence "which indicates
that General Waitt Improperly
furnished personnel data to an
Individual not in the military
service and who was not entitled
to receive such data."
On July 7, Miss Mildred Ort
meyer, Hunt's secretary, testi
fied to committee and army in
vestigators that Waitt dictated a
memorandum to her entitled
"eligible officers for appoint
ment to chief of chemical corps."
Senator Mundt (R., S.D.) ex-
claimed
It looks to me like a sart of
ngenious plot to which Hunt,
Waitt, and Vaughan have con
nived to cut the throats of all
the other officers trying to get
that job."
At his news conference this
morning Presidential Secretary
Charles G. Ross was asked about
the report concerning Mrs. Tru
man.
I have no information what
ever about that."
Ross was told a news story
named Mrs. Truman, along with
Chief Justice Vinson, Secretary
of the Treasury Snyder, James
K. Vardaman, federal reserve
board governor, and George E.
Allen, former RFC member and
presidential intimate also re
ceived deep freeze units.
'I know nothing whatever
about that, either," Ross said
when the other names were
mentioned.
Vinson left a White House
cabinet meeting a few minutes
later and told reporters that
since the senate investigation
committee is making an inquiry.
'I believe I prefer that the mat
ter be developed by the commit
tee." 'I feel I ought not to make any
statement," the Chief Justica
said.
In New York, Allen flatly de
nied he ever received a deep
freezer, or even knew the name
of the concern.
"I certainly never got one,"
he said and then quipped, "But
I wish I had one now in the
middle of this heat wave I'd
climb right into It."
The matter of the deep freeze
units entered the hearing yester
day when a Milwaukee business
man testified that he shipped
one in 1945 to Maj. Gen. Harry
H. Vaughan, President Truman's
army aide.
