Huns Ask Recall
Of U. 5. Envoys
Budapest, Hungary, March 10
VP) Hungary demanded tonight
that the United States recall
three of its high ranking officers
on the staff of the U. S. legation
here.
Hungary termed "persona non
grata" (unwelcome) Col. James
Kraft, military attache; Lt. Col.
John Hoyne, deputy military at
tache, and Maj. Donald E. Grif
fin, deputy attache for air. The
communist-led government pro
tested "the over-swollen number
of the staff of this legation."
Budapest demanded Feb. 23
that both the United States and
British reduce their staffs here.
The demand was a result of the
trial of American Businessman
Robert A. Vogeler, sentenced to
15 years on spy charges. His
British assistant, Edgar Sand
ers, was sentenced to 13 years.
Demand Rejected
Both the United States and
Britain rejected Hungary's com
plaint that the legation staffs
here were too large.
(Today Britain announced she
would withdraw two persons
listed specifically as "persona
non grata" by Hungary Lt.
Col. Percy Capron, British mili
tary attache, and Edward South
by, British commercial attache.
The original Feb. 23 note was a
general demand for a reduction
of the legation staffs. Hungary
directed to the British later a
note, like that to the United
States, specifically naming two
attaches. The British foreign of
fice pointed out that it automa
tically withdraws members of a
mission who are listed as "per
sona non grata.")

Testimony Ends
In Bridges Trial
San Francisco, March 10 (IP)
Testimony was completed today
in the perjury trial of Harry
Bridges.
Next week will be devoted to
closing argu m e n t s and the
court's instruction to the jury.
Today was the 68th court day
of the trial, which opened Nov.
14. There were several recesses.
Bridges, president of the CIO
Longshoremen's union, was In
dicted on a charge he lied in his
1945 citizenship hearing by
swearing he was not a commun
ist. Federal Judge George B. Har
ris excused the jury until 10
a.m. Monday, after mentioning
that he would spend the rest of
today conferring with attorneys
as to instructions he will give
the jury before it retires for de
liberations. Judge Harris had a special
admonition for the jurors. He
urged that they take "great care
to keep your minds clear and
fair," so as to be able to decide
the case "in the light of the ar
guments and the instructions."
Co-defendants with Bridges
are two other Longshore union
officials, J. R. Robertson and
Henry Schmidt. They were his
citizenship witnesses The grand
jury indicted them for conspir
acy. Aiken Guest at
Noon Luncheon
Oregon boys should go to Ore
gon universities and colleges ac
cording to Jim Aiken, football
coach of the University of Ore'
gon, speaking before the Salem
Breakfast club at a noonday
luncheon Friday at the Marion
hotel.
Aiken declared that if the
Oregon schools were to make a
good athletic record, it was ne
cessary to recruit all the out
standing Oregon high school
players, because even though
Oregon is growing rapidly there
are far less high schools in the
state than in California and
eastern states.
Aiken said that the' Oregon
schools did not get a fair break
on schedules from California
and as a result were forced to
play too many games in the
south.
"If we can beat them we
won't have to bow to them," he
declared.
Aiken was Introduced by Al
derman Howard Maple.
Decision as to whether the
club will meet at breakfasts, or
at luncheons will be decided
within the next two weeks, it
was announced. Due to the high
school basketball tourney in Eu
gene next week, the club will
cancel Its next Friday meeting.

School
Mother Has
Three Babies
In Three Days
Jonesville, La., March 10 VP)
A baby a day for three con
secutive days that's the way
the 36-year-old wife of a fisher
man gave birth to triplets.
Watching the newcomers gur
gle milk from their bottles to
day, Dr. N. G. Nasif, who deliv
ered the babies over the three
day period, said, "I've never
heard or read of such a case be
fore." '
(In Chicago, the American
Medical association said lt has
no record of any previous triple
birth over a three-day period.)
The tired worn-looking moth
er, Mrs. Lester Hardie, propped
herself up on an elbow and
smiled at her new son and two
daughters.
"They are the last," she said.
"Ten children are enough." She
has seven other children, all liv
ing.
The triplets' birth was an or
deal for the entire town.
First of all Hardie just nar
rowly beat the stork as he plied
full throttle to his motorboat
bringing Mrs. Hardie to Dr.
Nasif's clinic from their house
boat home anchored several
miles up the swollen Ouachita
river.
Thirty minutes after their ar
rival at the clinic, five-pound
Jodie Lee, the boy, was born.
This was 8 a.m. March 17.
At 9 a.m. the next day six-
pound Julia Fae arrived.
And about 1 a.m. yesterday
seven -pound Judy Mae was
born.
"This Is going to crowd us up
some," said the father thinking
of his tiny three-room house
boat the residence of the Har
die family which now numbers
12 in all.
'I haven't checked into it,"
said Dr. Nasif, "but it's the first
time I've heard of triplets with
different birthdays."
The upset father is 35.
Advises Use
Of Psychology
Paul Wolf, manager of the Sa
lem Montgomery Ward stores,
urged members of the Salem
Credit association Fridav to
bring the teachings of psycholo
gy into their business life.
The former Vienna business
man pointed out that the most
Important science in the mod
ern world was psychology and
that the application of that sci
ence to business was as new as
tne modern world.
He explained that business
men, operating under pressure,
should consider the human ele
ments which are constantly
working to balance out the pres
sures of our society.
Every person, Wolf said,
should ask himself if he were
happy at his Job, if he lives his
working hours in a balanced
manner without having to push
himself, and if his attitude and
approach to life is an art.
"Social peace cannot be ach
ieved as long as we are at war
with ourselves," Wolf warned.
He said that all persons could
be happy, balanced and satisfied
if they applied themselves prop
erly to their work.

Realtors Adopt
Parking Plan
The Salem Board of Realtors
Friday noon adopted the auto
mobile parking plan as suggest
ed during a recent meeting by
Mayor Robert L. Elfstrom. The
action was taken following a re
port by Coburn Grabenhorst,
member of the realtors, without
a negative vote being cast.
During the discussion that fol
lowed Grabenhorst's report, it
was pointed out that private en
terprise should not be discour
aged in connection with the pro
viding of off street parking
space. The streets were primari
ly laid out for transportation
lanes and the city is in no way
obligated to provide free park
ing, said one member..
It was urged that employers
provide off street parking for
th-.ir employes and that "meter
feeding" should be discourag
ed. Under the Elfstrom plan, cer
tain downtown streets would
be widened to provide head
in parking and city owned lots
would be developed for park
ing purposes.

Trade Bureau
Not Sponsors
Sponsorship of a questionnaire
being circulated in Salem on off-
street parking is by a private en
terprise, and not the Salem Re
tail Trade bureau as stated in
the Capital Journal Thursday,
The questionnaire, which goes
into the subject of off-street
parking quite thoroughly, is be
ing circulated among business
houses to get information to help
the sponsors decide whether
they will establish a parking lot
in the downtown district.
As in nearly every other grow
ing city in the country the car
parking problem is a vital one
in Salem, and methods used in
various cities are being closely
studied.
