- Mr. Cohn in order to look for
it.
"In the hotel lobby, it was
observed that Mr. Schine bat
ted Mr. Cohn over the head
with a rolled-up magazine.
Then both disappeared into
Mr. Schine's room for five
minutes. Later the chamber
maid found ash trays and
their contents strewn through'
out the room. The furniture
was completely overturned.
"After lunch, the two
investigators interrogated the
deputy chief of the MSA
special mission in " Bonn,
Frank Miller. They asked him
and ' others the following
questions: 'what are your
goals? 'what is European in
ergration?' 'what does western
orientation mean?"
EIGHTY-PAGE BOOK
"Afterwards they had a
press conference with Ameri
can newspaper correspon
dents. "Mr. Cohn Introduced Mr.
Schine as a management ex
pert." Question: 'What ex
perience do you have in this
area, Mr. Schine?' "Schine:
'I have studied this field."
"Cohn: 'Mr. Schine has writ
ten a book about the definition
of Communism.'
"Schine: 'Yes, it just so
happens that I have a couple
of copies with me. Mr. Cohn
is mentioned often in the text.
.. He has played an important
role in the prosecution of
Communist leaders in the U.S.
"It became evident that this
'book' was an .8-page pamp
hlet that was published by Mr.
v Schine's hote company and
J distributed by the same
organization, whose president
and business head is the same
26-year-old David Schine.
"Cohn: 'We have also
questioned representatives of
the German Public.
"He failed in this connec
tion to state with whom they
had spoken. '
"In the 45 minutes that re
mained between the press con
ference and their departure
Cohn and Schine Interviewed
Elmer Lower, chief of all in
formation programs In Ger
many; Edmund Schechter,
chief of the radio branch of
the U. S. high commission;
and Theordore Kaghan, acting
chief of the Office of Pubic

Seedlings From Salem
Given Sultan of Morocco
(Editor's note: The story be
low was written by Robert
Letts Jones, former assistant
publisher ot the Salem Capital
Journal, now traveling in the
Mediterranean area with his
wife.)
Casablanca. French Moroc
co (By airmail) A group of
choice, representative Oregon
forest seedlings has been given
to the sultan of this northwest
corner of Africa.
The presentation was made
by me on behalf ot the Oregon
state forestry department and
the lumber industry as a token
of friendship between the peo
ple of Oregon and Morocco.
The sulton, Mohammed ben
Youssef ben El Hassen, was
not In his palace in this thrlv
ing coastal metropolis of 800,
000 population, so I turned the
seedlings over to Santa O Han
na, the sultan's political ad
visor. Monsieur O'Hanna, a polish
ed -diplomat, assured me Mo
hammed ben Youssef would
welcome the trees not only as
a living expression of friend
ship but as experimental addi
tions to the forests of French
Morocco.
The sultan, he said, would
be interested to see if the par
ticular trees native to Ore
gon would grow in his coun
try. The gift of seedlings con
tained carefully selected spe
cimens of Douglas firs, pon-
derosa pines and Fort Orford
cedars,
In addition was the "carry-
ing-coals-to Newcastle" group
of Atlas cedar seedlings which
came originally from the
snow-covered Atlas mountains
In Hie southern part of this
protectorate of France.

Legislature
(Continued from Page 1)
Because sufficient funds re
main in the veterans educa
tional aid fund, the legislature
was able to eliminate $397,-
128.37 budgeted for this pur
pose.
In addition to these items.
the legislature passed bills
outside the budget carrying
appropriations totaling $3,
048,709.12 and a building pro
gram for institutions control
led by the board of control and
buildings for the board -of
higher education which added
$8,137,000 to the total outlay
authorized for the next bien
nlum. Estimated revenues Include
$80,000,000 from personal in
come tax receipts and $36,
000,000 from corporate Income
taxes. These estimated pre
pared by the tax commission
were the same as submitted in
the governor's budget. Mem
bers of the commission in
formed the legislature that
they saw no justification to
Increase or decrease the esti
mates made some months ago.
The estimated income to the
state also Includes $43,483,-
704.21 listed as miscellaneous
revenues and includes $3,000,-
000 unused balance in the
public welfare funds which
have been reappropriated to
finance the 1953-55 budget.
The expected receipts in
cluded an estimated surplus
at the end of the present bl
ennium, June 30, 1993, of
$39,644,241.83. . Thus the fi
nancial situation at the end of
the session shows the state in
excellent financial shape for
the remainder ot the present
biennlum and in excellent op
portunity to wind up the next
bienlum with I $2 million sur
plus. Clnb It Meeting Town-

Ing and type of region for each
group of seedlings were con
tained in a presentation letter
from George Spaur,. Oregon
state forester., of Salem.
Shipment by air was paid
and arranged for by Arthur
W. Priaulx of the West Coast
Lumbermen's association of
Portland.
The seedlings were flown
by airmail for presentation
during my two-day visit In
this modern, 'boom city, with
its many tall buildings.
My wife, Marguerite, accom
panied me for the simple pres
entation ceremony ,. of . the
small trees for the sultan who
traces his ancestry back to Mo
hammed, founder of the Mos
lem religion.
Advance arrangements for
the gift of trees were made
by Slgrid B. Unander, Oregon
state treasurer, who is a per
sonal friend ot ' the sultan.
While serving with American
forces in Africa during World
War II, Slg Unander first met
the Sultan.
.. "Lt Colonel Slg Unander
landed at Fedlah, 'north of
Casablanca, on November 8,
1942, with the American liber
ation forces and performed ex
emplary petsonal services for
the sultan of Morocco and his
royal family in the fight
against Rommell's forces.
In recognition for outstand
ing services, his majesty, the
sultan created the "Order of
Ouissam Al Aouite" honoring
Colonel Unander and granting
him the status of "Caid" or na
tive chieftain. - The medal, a
large diamond encrusted em
blem, is kept -under lock and
key by Treasurer Unander.
It is in French Morocco that
five huge United States Air
Forces bases are being con
structed as part of the defense
program of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO).
It was south of the bustling
city of Casablanca that Gen
eral Mark Clark swam ashore
from a submarine for his fam
ous rendezvous with the French
that preceded the landing of
American troops in the Afri
can invasion early in World
War H.
It was in the fine Anfa
Hotel overlooking this city
where President Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Winston Churchill of Great
Britain met in 1943 with the
French Generals de Gaulle
and Giraud for what became
known as the "Casablanca
Conference."

Old Coins Recovered
From Willamette River
You can turn on your Imagi
nation and let it run on this
story. ' .
It may be a story of tragedy,
or feud, or crime, among the
white men, or of tribal cere
mony among the Indians who
roamed the Willamette Valley
a century ago.
:, Anyway, it's historical, and
centers around five old coins
long hidden in the bottom ot
the Willamette river and found
only yesterday.
E, A. (Ted) Brown, adver
tising manager of the Capital
Journal, recently got some silt
from the river to put around
the flowers in his garden. He
was spreading the silt Tues
day when he observed a very
small black disc in the dirt.
"I picked it up and polished
it off," says Ted, "and here's
what It was:"
He displayed a U. S. three
cent piece dated 1853. That
makes it 100 years. old. It it
silver and bears 13 stars.
"I thought maybe I'd find
some more," Ted said, "and
sure enough I did." .
Besides the three-cent piece
the search turned up a half
dime, dated 1896, 94 years old;
a one-cent piece, 1863, 90
years; two nickels dated 1863,
bearing the old shield device,
90 years; and a half-dollar,
