Clark Charged
With Murders
Canton, Oct. S W) Leonard
Francis Clark. 42, an American
who claims to have found the
world's highest mountain in
western China, was charged
with manslaughter today in the
gunshot deaths last month of an
other American and an English
man. The former lieutenant colonel
of the American OSS was
clapped in a dirty Chinese jail
cell on a diet of bread and wa
ter to await trial. Interviewed
in his cell, he steadfastly main
tained he did not do the shoot
ing. Likewise he denied he was
in love with the pretty widow
of one of the victims.
Specifically, Clark, who has
a featured article in the current
Issue of Life magazine, is
charged in the gunshot deaths
of Willard Freeman, 41, former
ly of Bridgewater, Mass., and
Harold Harris, 45, Shanghai-
born Englishman who was em
ployed in Chungking by Free
man. The shooting culminated a
drinking bout on September 8
in the Freeman home. It oc
curred the night before the
Freemans were to celebrate
their fourth wedding anniver
sary and the pretty Polish-born
Mrs. Freeman's birthday.
In jail today, Clark denied be
ing in love with Freeman's wid
ow, Mrs. Maya Freeman. Pre
viously he had said Freeman had
"pulled a jealousy act" and ac
cused him of being in love with
his wife.
Mulligan Here
On Baseball Deal
"The Norgan Interests never
have or never will do anything
to hurt baseball in Salem," de
clared Bill Mulligan, business
manager of the Portland Beavers

nesday's luncheon program of

George Norgan of Vancouver,
B. C, is president of the corpora
tion that owns the Portland and
Salem baseball clubs.

consult with George Emigh, Sa
lem Senator business manager
and did not meet with a group
pf business men headed by Har
ry V. Collins assigned the Job
of discussing the possible pur
chase of the local ball club.
Mulligan declared the Nor-
gan organization was a souna
one as he reiterated his state
ment that "we will never do
anything to hurt baseball In
Salem." He made no comment
roncerning the possibility of a
change in ownership of the Sa
lem club, merely indicating that
deal was still in the air.
Mulligan, a member of the
Portland Rotary club met with
Salem Rotarians for the purpose
of making up a previous meet
ing. Light Rainfall

Repudiation
Of Yalta Sought
Washington, Oct. 5 U.R Sen.
William F. Knowland (R-Calif.)
has urged United States denun
ciation of the 1S45 Yalta agree
ment on grounds that Russia al
ready has violated the accord.
He told the senate that Soviet
recognition of the communist
regime in China had violated the
1945 Sino Russian friendship
and alliance pact which was pro
vided for under the war-time
Yalta agreement.
The Yalta agreement also
provided for continued Soviet
domination of Outer Mongolia
returned the southern portion of
Sakhalin to the Soviets, guar
anteed Russian interests in the
port of Dairen, and continued
the Soviet lease of the Port Ar
thur naval base.
It also gave Russia the Kurlle
islands.
The Yalta accord was signed
by the late President Roosevelt,
Russian Premier Stalin and
then British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill. The Chinese
national government charged
yesterday that recognition of the
communist regime was one of
a "long series" of violations of
the Soviet-Chinese treaty.

Try to Unload
Pineapples
The Dalles, Ore., Oct. 5 (Pi
Hawaiian pineapple owners will
try to unload a barge cargo with
the aid of the Taft-Hartley law.
R. M. Botley, president of Isle
ways, Ldt., said the national la
bor relations board would be
asked to invoke the law's ban
on secondary boycotts against
CIO longshoremen. Longshore
men last Wednesday stopped the
unloading here when they

swarmed over the Municipal ter
minal, roughing up workers and
damaging equipment.
The owners of the $800,000
cargo say they are not involved
in a Hawaiian longshore strike
and picketing of their barge is
a secondary boycott.
Botley said there would be
no further unloading effort un
til the NLRB acted on the peti
tion, expected to be filed in Port
land today.
