Bogus Check Artist
ooked for a Bonus
An alleged bogus check ar
tist, trapped by his hope of find
ing a bonus check in the mail,
was held by Salem detectives
Tuesday on charges of obtaining
money by false pretenses.
Police identified the prisoner
as Charles W. Clark of 633
Ferry street.
Detectives pointed out that
Clark had used a former Salem
address in writing identification
on bogus checks. At that address,
they learned that their suspect
had returned frequently, hoping
to find a bonus check in the
mail.
Police waited. When Clark ap
peared to check the mail at his
old address, he was arrested.
Under Questioning he admit
ted passing eleven checks for a
total of $114.
Reports to Jaycees on
Hoover Bill Efforts
Accounts of the Junior Cham
ber of Commerce campaign for
publicizing the Hoover commis
sion report as detailed at a state
meeting in Roseburg were giv
en to Salem members Wednes
day by Nelson Hickok.
Dick Schmidt, a member of
the Salem organization, was one
of the speakers on the state
meeting panel.
Following those reports, an
armed forces training film deal
ing with the use of light planes
and problems of Japanese occu-
pation was shown to the group,
The court also ordered that
Vogeler and Sanders be expell
ed from this country when they
finish their sentences; forbidden
to return "forever more." Their
personal assets in Hungary will;
be confiscated. Vogeler: 38, as
sistant vice president of I. T. &
T., had been his company s rep
resentative here.
The court said that in handing
down the sentences it had taken
into consideration that most of
the defendants had not been con
victed of crimes before, that
most were married, that they
made "sincere confessions," and
that, in the cases of Vogeler and
Sanders, they acknowledged not
having "any grudge" against
Hungary. The judge said Voge
ler and Sanders had been order
ed by their military superiors
to carry out their activities in
this country."
The defendants stood quietly
with folded hands and. expres-
slonaiess faces as Judge Vilmos
Olthy announced the sentences.
(In New York the Internation
al Telephone and Telegraph cor
poration said it was sending
proof to the U. S. state depart
ment of the "complete falsity" of
the charges against Vogeler. A
company statement said the trial
was "a reversion to the inhu
manities of the Dark Ages.")

New York, Feb. 21 (IP) The
general council of the Congre
gational Christian churches has
been restrained permanently by
a New York state supreme court
justice from seeking to consoli
date the church with the Evan
gelical and Reformed church.
Justice Meier Steinbrlnk
signed a final judgment yester
day in the Brooklyn branch of
the supreme court.
He ruled in favor of the Cad-
man Memorial Congregational
society and the Cadman Memor
ial church of Brooklyn.
The two plaintiffs had filed
suit to prevent the consolidation,
as ordered oy the general coun
cil of the Congregational Chris
tian churches.
The Cadman church contended
the proposed merger would de
prive individual Congregational
churches of their "traditional
autonomy."
Loren M. Wood, attorney for
the general council, said the
question of an appeal from Jus
tice Stembrinks ruling will be
discussed.
He said members of the coun
cil and various mission boards
involved will meet tomorrow
and may discuss an appeal at
that time. Or, he added, the
question might be decided the
first of next month at the gen
eral council's executive commit
tee meeting.
The court judgment declared
the general council had "no pow
er or authority" to proceed with
the unification program.
Farmers Union
(Continued from Page 1)
As soon as the club was form
ed, the boys said from the witness
stand, it was decided that the
group would disband immediate
ly in the event that the school
board or high school officials
deemed it illegal.
However, instead of notifying
the boys that in their opinion the
ciuo was illegal, members of the
school board expelled the boys
witnout formal notice.
The other side of the storv
will be heard when the defense
calls its witnesses. The remain
der of Tuesday's questioning will
most likely involve additional
witnesses for the plaintiff.

Turning to state-wide affairs,
Jones urged support of a meas
ure on the 1950 ballot proposing
to increase basic school support:
reorganization of the legislature
which he said has "long-flout
ed the constitution which called
for redistribution of the repre
sentation on the basic of popula
tion periodically," but not done
because of conflicting interests
throughout the state; develop
ment of resources through some
centralized northwest authority
such as is proposed in a CVA
and the continuance of coopera
tives as a "major weapon for
farmers to gain a better living
for themselves."
Increased Interest and bene
fits from the national Farmers

pany, the Life Insurance com
pany, national service corpora
tion and the health association,

tention that it was no longer pos

ments" inflicted on American re
presentatives.

Five Bulgars Indicted
Sofia, Bulgaria, Feb. 21 VP
Five Bulgarians were charged
with spying for America and the
communist - controlled press
used their indictment as a sig

U.S. legation here.
The five, two of them former
employes of the American le
gation, were accused of trans
mitting political, economic and
military information to the Am
erican intelligence service.
The indictments were pub
lished in the morning newspa
pers under the heading: "The
legation of the United States in
Sofia center of plots and es
pionage against the people's re
public of Bulgaria."
The newspaper blast and the
arrests broke a silence of sev
