Use of Cons iii (Continued from Put 11 '2. Several state officers and state employes have received the benefit of personal service of con victs in violation of law. How ever, the Oregon legislature has never provided a penalty for in fractions of this law. '3. Records at the penitentiary show that one state officer con nected with the state institutions sold agriculture produce raised on his property to the peniten tiary in 1949, 1950, and 1951. This produce apparently had been picked by convicts. No criminal penalty was prescribed for either of these infractions. Officer Had Interest "4. There was at least one in stance in which a state officer had an- indirect financial interest in a contract wherein prison labor was used to harvest crops which had been sold to the state. Again no criminal penalty has been pro vided for infraction of this law." Thornton concluded his report by pointing out that the share cropping agreements previously made between prison officials and farmers raising fruit and veg etables, violates the "letter of the law" even though the practice has been profitable to the state. Much of the produce needed for can ning operations at the peniten tiary were picked by convicts un der such agreements made in the past. Admits Army (Continued from Page 11 at the Portland bus station from the bus she was riding so that she might transfer to a south bound' Greyhound. About midnight, while awaiting the arrival of the southbound bus, she said she was annoyed by a man who was also in the waiting room. She told police that she went to the women's rest room to escape the man's ad- ances. While in the rest room, another girl entered who also claimed to have been bothered by the man and who said that she also had chosen the rest room as an escape. One of the girls then called the Portland police and informed them of their plight. Later, when the 14-year-old girl looked out of the rest room and noted that the police had arrived, she went into the adjoining res taurant. The second girl followed. 'the Michigan girl, while await ing her order to be served, hap pened to "stretch." As she was in this act, the other girl took a hypodermic needle . from her purse and stuck it into the girl's hand, ejected its contents, and fled. The girl told police that she had jerked her hand away as soon as possible, but not before the other girl ejected the fluid from the needle into her hand. She said she began to feel woozy" and slightly sick. How ever, as her bus was about to de part, she boarded it. While enroute in the bus to Sa lem the girl began to feel "quite sick, and passed out." The girl's relatives in Salem were called to the Salem bus de pot, and took the girl to their home for the night. Police advised the relatives to take the girl to a local hospital for a check-up.

The exchange was over the case of Maj. Irving Peress, New York City dentist, and the ramifications which brought a clash between McCarthy and Secretary of the Army Stevens two weeks ago. Pe.ess Case Sumarized McCarthy had Peress before him In hii Investigation of what the senator terms "Army coddling of Communists. Peress declined to answer ques tions as to whether he had sub versive affiliations and McCarthy demanded that the Army court martial the major. Peress was given an honorable discharge and McCarthy called Brig. Gen. Ralph Zwicker. who was the commanding officer, be fore him to ask why. They had a hot session and Zwicker protested to Stevens. Stevens tangled with McCarthy over what he said was "abuse" of Zwicker. Eisenhower was primed with a statement on the matter when he met with reporters Wednesday. In it. the President took obvious shots at McCarthy without calling the senator by name. Lays Down Standards He also laid down standards of conduct, keyed to the principle of "mutual respect." for government officials and military men who ap pear before congressional investi gators. And he declared that no one has ever been "authorized to suggest that any subordinate. lor any reason whatsoever, violate his con victions or principles or submit to any kind of personal humiliation." the President said it is up to Congress to see that its procedures are "proper and fair" but for the government employes under him he set out these rules: 1. "Every governmental em ployee in the executive branch, whether civilian or in the armed services, is expected to respond cheerfully and completely to the requests of Congress and its sever al committees. . . .It is, of course, assumed that they will he ac corded the same respect and courtesy that I require that they show to members of the legislative body." McCarthy Promptly Replies 2. "Officials in the executive branch of the government will have my unqualified support in in sisting that employees in the exec utive branch who appear before any type of executive or congres sional investigative body be treat ed fairly." McCarthy promptly called a i news conference at the capitol to read his own statement. "Apparently." he said, "the Pres ident and I now agree on the ne cessity of getting rid of Commu nists. We apparently disagree only on how we should handle those who protect Communists." McCarthy said he intends In go right on Investigating communism, and added: "If a supld, arrogant or witless man in a position of powor ap pears before our committee and is found aiding the Communist Party, he will he exposed. The fact that he might be a general places him in no special class so far as I am concerned." Other witnesses include doctors House members and police officers who questioned the four Puerto Ricans who are under arrest and jailed in default of $100,000 bond each. The prosecutors went before the grand jury as Capitol Hill leaders pondered security measures to head off any more such attacks. ueniiey out of Danger Meanwhile Rep. Alvin M. Bent ley (R-Mich), most seriously wounded of the five congressmen, was taken off the critical list at the hospital wher he is under treat ment. The other four wounded, with less serious hurts, were reported recovering. Rover and Conliff said, however, that should any of the wounded lawmakers die within a year and a day, first-degree murder indict ments will be asked against all four of the Puerto Ricans. President Eisenhower told h i s news conference Wednesday that he was very pleased to receive Gov. Luis Munoz Marin of Puerto Rico who sped here by plane to I express regret over the shootings. He said that while everybody knows the sentiments of the mass of the Puerto Rlcan people, it was a very splendid gesture on the part of the Puerto Rican gov ernor. If indicted on five counts, the Puerto Ricans would be liable, if convicted, to sentences up to 75 years in prison.

Other sharp reductions already have been made in the past year or so. More staff cuts may be made during the new government year beginning July 1, 1954, offi cials said. The U. S. high commission said 49 Americans and 338 Germans have been dropped or will be off the payroll between Jan. 31 and June 30. Some of these staff cuts result from a reduction In occupation functions In Germany. Others are for straight economy reasons. By July 1, the high commission, which had 13,000 employes three years ago, will be reduced to staff of 4,218 including 710 Ameri cans and 3,508 Germans, officials said. This will compare with 985 Americans and 5,418 Germans on July 1, 1953. . Rejection of tContlnued from Pafg 1) gram.

The President said the Army has the question of deal ing with subversives under stud and that it will be coming up with a plan, but he added he personally had never heard of the labor camp proposal and said he preferred not to comment on it at the moment.
