Britain Plans
(Continued from Pare 11
After Lie's previous talks with
British government leaders on
his save-the-UN mission to Wa
shington, London, Paris and
Moscow, Foreign Secretary Er
nest Bevin announced Britain
would support Red China but
only three Russia, India and
Yugoslavia have supported the
Peiping membership bid up to
now.
Seven affirmative votes are
needed to seat the Reds in the
security council. Lie has been
working behind the scenes to
swing other votes, including
those of France and Egypt, with
the hope of settling the question
by the end of July.
Britain has approached Egypt,
Ecuador and France on the Chi
na question but got no commit
ments. The French position is
complicated by the anti-communist
campaign in Indo-China.
The United States has an
nounced it will not support Red
China but will not try to veto a
majority decision.

Seek to Prove
(Continued from Pare 1)
The courtroom was jammed as
usual some 50 to 75 were
turned away when the 100 spec
tator seats were filled as Mrs.
Eunice E. Wilson took the stand.
Her testimony was of the
times she had seen her sons just
before and after March 19, the
day Jo Ann Dewey, 18, was kid
napped and killed.
She told, too, how she had
liven another son. Grant, $1000
for Utah and Turman. Part of
it, she said, was money Turman
had earned and part had been
sent by their father, Mose Wil
son, from his trailer home at
Silverton, Ore. She said the
money was to have been used
by Turman to buy a new car
and by Utah to finance a vaca
tion a thing he'd never had.
Spread Out $700
Defense Attorney Irvin Good
man had spread out nearly $700
on a table money taken from
the brothers when they were ar
rested at Sacramento March 30.
It was in currency.
It looked, Mrs. Wilson said,
like the money she bad given
them.
Just one week from the start
of testimony, the state concluded
Its case yesterday against the
brothers, both of whom have
criminal records.
Immediately Defense Attorney
Irvin Goodman jumped up with
a demand the case be thrown out
for lack of evidence. Superior
Judge Eugene Cushing ruled
against him.
Dismissal Refused
Goodman then again stressed
bis favorite point: the state has
not produced a single witness
who could say beyond doubt
that the Wilson brothers were in
Vancouver the night the Dewey
girl was dragged, screaming, into
an automobile and carried off to
her death.
Goodman has contended the
two were in a Portland movie at
the time, and is expected to put
the brother on the stand later
to say so for themselves.
The states last key witness
was Harry Diamond, Vancouver
police chief, who made two sa
lient points:
1. A woman, Mrs. James Nel
son, who witnessed tne acnuc
tion from her apartment win
dow, later picked Utah and Tur
man Wilson out of police lineups
as men who resembled the ab
ductors..
2. Utah was under obvious
emotional stress after his arrest
in Sacramento March 30. On the
trip back to Vancouver, the po
lice chief said, "Utah choked up
and started sobbing. One time
he broke down and cried." He
added that the group stopped to
look at the scene where the girl's
body was found. There Utah
kept hit eyet downcast and had
nothing to say, Diamond testi
fied.

Vancouver has grown 120 per

Murder Case
A 19 - year old Philadelphlan
who apparently advised several
Salem residents that he had been

into custody by Salem detectives
Wednesday on charges of rob
bery and murder.
The youth was identified as
Charles Johnson. He denied any
connection with the Philadel

Police had been advised that
Johnson was In Salem. He is
wanted in connection with the
murder and robbery of Thomas
Rispoli, 51, on a Philadelphia
street, Rispoli was carrying op
proximately $1,000 at the time

Runaway Team
Adds to Pageant
One team of horses used in the
Pageant of Progress Tuesday
night was just a little too real

Toward the end of the show
when the progress in transpor

parade of buckboards, buggies,
wagons and automobiles, the
team took fright at on of those
new-fangled horseless carriages
and ran away.
As the team pivoted in front
of the grandstand the rig side
swiped another and knocked one
of the occupants, a man, to the
ground, but he wasn't hurt.
Then the team took off down
the track toward the stadium
with the driver trying to hold
them. They reached Silverton
road, however, and collided with
an automobile owned by James
C. Stone, 1115 North Capitol
and caused some damage to the
car, Including broken headlamps.

Atomic Secrets
Safeguarded
Washington, June 21 d
High American, British and Can
adian officials, presumably con
cerned over a recent wave of
spy cases, are meeting here to
plan tighter safeguards around
atomic secrets.
The U. S. atomic energy com
mission announced yesterday
that "security standards" and
"procedures applicable to the
protection of information joint
ly held by the atomic energy
programs of the three coun
tries" are under discussion.
It added that "policies affect
ing the declassification of infor
mation" are not being discussed.
Officials attending the sessions
were close-mouthed and the AEC
did not say when the new series
of conferences began.
However, the recent arrest of
three Americans by FBI agents
back-tracking over the trail left
by Dr. Klaus Fuchs, the British
scientist convicted of being an
atomic spy for Russia, have
brought new congressional de
mands for tighter control over
this country's secrets.
J. Edgar Hoover, director of
the FBI, has called for 300 more
agents to hunt down spies. Sen
ate and house committees are re
ported to have agreed tentative
ly to meet his request.
Hoover testified that Red spies
are trying to steal secret data
on atomic research, jet propul
sion, radar and germ warfare
methods.
Bakers' Strike
(Continued from Page 1)
Another bakery reports the
demand for bread nearly dou
bled, much of it from out of
town. To meet the situation it
is cutting out all variety bread
and attempting to supply the
area with white and wheat
bread. It reports people com
ing from Portland, and they are
turned away unless they suc
ceed in convincing the bakery
they are from some place In the
Salem trade area. Some pres
sure is being brought to get the
Salem bakeries to put bread on
the Portland market, which is
not being considered.
Not all Portland people are
being turned away. One bakery
reports selling to Portlanders
who happen to be passing
through Salem. It has rejected
calls, however, from two big
Portland restaurants.
Another bakery says the calls
from Salem grocery stores has
increased greatly. That is main
ly for bread. It finds no special
call for pastries.
The Cherry City Baking com
pany is baking biead round the
clock.
"We are trying to take care of
our area business and keep in
the good graces of the union,"
it reported. "We are not send
ing bread into any territory not
regularly served by us. An ex
ception to that Is that we are
sending bread to several Port
land hospitals, but that is, we
understand, not objected to by
the union.
"So far we are keeping up
with the demand for pie, but
maybe we won't be able to keep
it up. Some of the Salem res
taurants that were using bakery
pies are now baking their own."
It was reported Wednesday
that two of the struck Portland
concern are sending bread Into
Salem from their plants in Eu
gene. Business to New Position

long established at 25 West Sher

An estimated 1500 acres are

Lt. Fayette Worthington, an
