Sea Monster
Washed Ashore
1 Delake, Ore., March 4 VP)
i An ocean storm washed a
grotesque marine animal ashore
(here, then before residents
; could settle arguments on wheth
ier It was a sea monster washed
lit away again today.
J Beach walkers found It In the
jsands this morning, and quickly
called the town down for a look.
It was described variously as
weighing between 500 and 2000
pounds. It had a large, round
body shaped something like a
turtle, but also had what appear
ed to be a tall.
One man said this was thin
end IS feet long. Another said
there were two tails, one 10 feet
long, the other eight.
' All agreed the back was cov
ered with matted hair, perhaps
tlx Inches long. There was some
disagreement on the underside
of the body. Residents were un
able to turn the body over.
Lloyd Cable,, president of the
Chamber of Commerce here, said
he could only describe the cov
ering there as "feathers."
Cable thought it looked like a
giant squid.
A coastguardsman thought it
.might be a blanket fish.
To some it looked like an octo
pus, to others like a sea Hon.
One said he had seen jelly fish
like It in the Aleutians.
Ropes were tied to the what-Is-lt,
but a high tide snatched
the body away before marine
life experts could be called.
Dr. Louis A. Wood
To Run for Senate
Portland, Ore., March 4 U.R.
Dr. Louis A. Wood, professor
emeritus at the University of
Oregon, said today he will be a
candidate for the democratic
nomination for U. S. senator.
"In the event I should be nom
inated, Oregon democrats must
De allowed the lullest oppor
tunity to challenge Sen. Wayne
Morse during the campaign and
at the polls," Wood said. "Al
though professionally a liberal,
he has given aid and succor to
conservative elements in his
party in all sections of the coun
try." Wood Is the second to an
nounce for the democratic nom
ination. Howard C. Latourette
is the other candidate.

ylast night that he is a commu
nist.
Two days after Strachey took
office in Labor's reshuffled gov
ernment, the pro-conservative
newspaper said he never has
disavowed communism.
. Strachey last lght cited vari
ous writings and public speeches
of his since 1940 to refute the
Standard's attack.
The Standard has quoted from
Strachey's books of the 1903s
to show his sympathies lay with
communism, although it did not
charge him with being a member
of the communist party. Both the
Standard and Beaverbrook's
Morning Express raised the ques
tion whether Strachey should
continue in his key defense post.
Today the Standard Insisted
that in Strachey's rebuttal he
has shown only that:
"I. He was sincerely con
vinced of the need to win the
war against Germany, and on
this Issue fell out with the com
munist party of Great Britain,
of which, though not a member,
he had until then been a known
supporter and principal theori
tician. "2. He has become sincerely
convinced that the totalitarian
brand of communism pursued
by the present leaders of the
Russian regime is a spurious
brand.
"3. The methods and reason
ing by which he reached these
conclusions are Marxist. He re
mains a Marxist, and has not
yet produced evidence that at
any time he retracted from his
adherence to communism as a
creed, although he now violent
ly disagrees with the particular
interpretation put upon that
creed in Russia and by the or
ganized communist parties out
side Kussia.
"4. He has endeavored to
side-step the gist of the evening
amnarcrs report on him by draw
ing a veil of confusion over the
difference between communism
as a theory of society and com
munism as interpreted by cur
rent Russian practice."
The Standard then asked
Strachey to answer two ques
tions: Does Mr. Strachey believe
that communism is the ultimate
aim for Britain? Does he be
lieve that socialism is only a
stepping stone towards this ulti
mate aim?"
Strachey Issued his statement
after a talk yesterday with
Prime , Minister Attlee which
may have dealt with safeguard
ing atomic secrets.

$125 Pensions
Detroit, March 4 OT The CIO
auto workers are going to de
mand $125 monthly pensions and
a nine cents an hour pay raise
from General Motors.
They're major parts of a 31
cents an hour package which the
auto union will present to big
GM at forthcoming contract
talks covering 235,000 workers.
As the UAW unfolded its pro
gram today, Industry viewed it
as a possible hint of the pattern
which the CIO will try to set up
nationally for 1950.
Auto and steel have been the
standard bearers for CIO's bar
gaining drives.
The UAW also will demand
improvements in hospitalization
and wage fringe benefits, partic
ularly in Sunday and holiday
extra pay.
Heretofore, the UAW announc
ed its intention to get rid of the
escalator wage system with GM
which ties the worker's pay to
to the cost of living.
On that point, there likely will
be a special fight. GM has
spoken in high favor of the ar
rangement. The UAW's demands, drawn
up by the union's GM confer
ence, will be presented formally
to the corporation at a later
date.

U. S. Colonel
Looted Mansion
Munich, March 4 VP) The U.
S. army today reported the sen
fencing of an American colonel
to two years at hard labor for
removing" valuables from a
requisitioned German house he
occupied in Garmisch, Alpine re
sort town.
A general court martial also
sentenced the defendant, Lt. Col.
Richard 5. Whitcomb of Wor
cester, Mass., to dismissal from
the service.
Whitcomb pleaded innocent.
He removed rare wines, rugs
and other property worth about
50,000 Deutschmarks ($12,500)
from the palatial Bavarian home.
Whitcomb, a popular officer
with his comrades, had been ord
nance officer of the Munich mil
itary post since last September,
when he was transferred from
the Garmisch post.
Approximately 30 persons tes
tified in his defense and about
an equal number for the prose
cution, an army spokesman said
Army agents testified they had
found several articles from the
Garmisch house in Whitcomb's
Munich home after he moved
to Munich.
George Muller, German own
er of the Garmisch house, said
more than 200 bottles of rare
vintage wines either were miss
ing or had been filled with mud
dy water.
