Party lines held firm Tuesday In
the nihe-day-old light over election
ol a president ot the Oregon Sen
ate, as the number of ballots
reached 219.
The 15 Republicans, opposing
the Democratic candidate. Sen.

. any one of three other Democrats
. Sens. Phil Brady and Ward
Cook, both of Portland, and Harry
Boivin, Klamath Falls.

publican leader said the opposi
tion is on personal grounds, and
has nothing to do with his political
beliefs.
Pearson said he thinks the Re
publicans are against him because
he, as state treasurer a few years
ago, voted to fire two Republican
tax commissioners.. He also said
that his opposition to the Repub
lican tax program in the 1955
Legislature has something to do
with it.
There were 84 ballots taken
Monday and Monday night. On
Tuesday, the Republicans still al
ternated their choices among
Brady, Cook and Boivin.
Racked by Committees
The Republicans were supported
by the Republican State Central
Committee, which claimed that
"responsibility for this stalemate
rests squarely with the Democrat
leadership.
The committee commended the
Senate Republicans for "their in
terest in having responsible lead
ership in the state Senate."
If Boivin, Brady, Cook and
Pearson are rejected, the only
Democrats left who ever served
in the Senate before would be Sen

UAWCallsfor
Labor-Industry
Racket Inquiry
DETROIT lifl The- United Auto
Workers Union Tuesday proposed
a congressional investigation into
what it termed "corruption and
racketeering in ail phases of
American life."
The UAW's international execu
tive board said "corruption in la
bor, in industry" should be ex
posed "without fear or favor."
UAW and CIO President Walter
Rcuther said the executive board
in a special resolution asked the
combined AFL - CIO executive
council to urge a "thorough and
exhaustive investigation" by "an
appropriate congressional com
mittee." A UAW spokesman noted that
. in the past the union has supported
"housecleaning" by labor of its
own ranks. However, the union
statement pointed out, a congres
sional committee has "several in
dispensable assets, namely, the
power to subpena and to take tes
timony under oath."
The board said the AFL-CIO's
own ethical practices committee
would give "full cooperation" to
any committee "bent upon getting
the facts with respect to corrup
tion, racketeering and gangster
ism in labor, industry and busi
ness." It proposed that the AFL-CIO
council ask for a congressional in
quiry at its Jan. 28 meeting in
Washington. -

SCHOOLS WOULD BENEFIT
Sales Tax Measure
Introduced in House
By JAMES D. OLSON j
Capital Journal Writer J
Bills carrying out the legislative
interim committee on taxation's
program, featuring a 3 per cent
sales tax, and containing many
changes in the state tax structure,
were introduced in the Oregon
house Tut-sday.
Coupled with the sales tax Is
a bill earmarking $20 million a
year from sales tax revenue to
school districts ot the state to low
er local taxes.
Little Chance of Passage
The proposed sales tax which
has little chance of passage in this
Democratic - dominated legislature
would exempt food consumed
off premises and has other exemp
tions. The committee estimates that
the sales tax would yield approx
imately $120 million a biennium
except for the first biennium when
the receipts would be somewhat
j smaller because the tax would not
become effective until 90 davs af
'ter the legislature adjourned.
The committee rfcommrnds that
i the sales tax be refrrrrd to the
! voters at a special election to be
: held during the present session of
'the legislature as the means of
learning the verdict of the people
and not run the risk of a referen
dum that would hold up its impo
sition until the next general elec
tion almost two years away.

Duke Achieves
Hero's Status
In Argentina
BUENOS AIRES w The Duke
of Edinburgh was hailed as a hero
in Argentina Tuesday a month
after he was denounced as an in
terloper. The royal yacht Britannia, car
rying the duke on a round-the-
world tour, steamed 200 miles off
its course to pick up a sailor on
the Argentine ship Mabel Ryan
suffering from acute appendicitis.
The Britannia's surgeon operated
on the Argentine seaman and he
was reported in satisfactory con
dition. All trie Buenos Aires papers
gave the mercy trip a big play.
A month ago a wing of the radical
party denounced the duke's forth
coming visit to the Falkland Is
lands as an "unfriendly act." The
islands off the coast of extreme
southern Argentina have been a
subject of British-Argentine dis
pute for years.
The package of bills from the
committee also proposes repeal of
the surtax retroactive to apply to
I9.i6 income. In other surtax repeal
proposals made, including one by
Governor Holmes, effective date
comes too late to include applica
tion to last year's incomes.
Greater Exemption
Another important bill in the in
terim committee package would
provide exemptions of $1,000 for
both a husband and a wife. Under
the present law. the $1,000 is re
stricted to one or the other.
Other bills in the package would:
Amend the six-mill limitation on
a state property tax to allow col
lection of a state property tax for
bonds and interest only.
Allow double exemption for tax
payers 65 yearn of age or over.
Allow a portion of the carrying

Top GOP
Post Goes
To Alcorn
Ike-BackedLeader
Named Chairman
Unanimously
By RAYMOND LAHR
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON (UP)-H. Meade
Alcorn Jr. of Connecticut today
was elected Republican national
chairman.
Alcorn was elected unanimously,
without contest, by the GOP Na
tional Committee after he was giv
en the personal endorsement of
President Eisenhower.
He succeeds Leonard W. Hall,
who is retiring Feb. 1 after al
most four years as chief of the
party organization.
Hall's Convention Aide
Alcorn, 49, former speaker of the
Connecticut Assembly and one
time district attorney for Hartford
County, was Hall's second in com
mand last year for handling ar
rangements for the GOP National
Convention.
His election as national chair
man came as no surprise.
The President's support for Al
corn was reported to a GOP Na
tional Committee meeting bv for
mer Sen. Harry Darby, Kansas
national committeeman. Darby
neaaed an eight-man subcommit
tee which conferred with Mr. El
senhower earlier this morning.
He made it clear to us that he
would like Meade Alcorn to be
chairman," Darby said.
Latent Opposition Fades
Any latent opposition to the Al
corn election vanished at once and
representatives of various states
scrambled for recognition to sec
ond the nomination made by Dar
by.
Finally, Al Judsom Morhouse of
New York moved that the nomina
tions be closed and a unanimous
vote cast for Alcorn. His motion
was given a shout of approval.
A native of Sufficld, Conn., Al
corn is the son of Hugh M. Al
corn, famed Connecticut prosecu
tor who obtained the conviction
and execution of notorious bank
robber Gerald Chapman in the
1UZ0S.
Alcorn was graduated from
Dartmouth College in 1930 and
from Yale Law School In 1033. He
has been active in politics for
more than 20 years, first winning
an elective otfice ii 1936 as a
member of the Connecticut House
of Representatives. He served as
state s attorney from 1942 to 1948.
Truman Raps
Ike's Address
As'AHWords'
KANSAS CITY. Mo. (UP)-For-mcr
President Harry S. Truman
said today that President Eisen
hower's inaugural address was "a
nice collection of beautiful
words." but it outlined "no plan
of action."
"Peace in this present troubled
world can be obtained only by
action on the part of the Free
World, and it ' will require the
leadership of the United States to
accomplish that action, he said,
As he handed copft s of his state
ment to newsman, Mr. Truman rc
r marked, "I have had several re
quests for comment on Mr. Hi
serihower's message, so I wrote
this statement. That's all I will
have to say on the matter."
The former chief executive said
Mr. Eisenhower's address was
"very strong for home and moth
er and world peace, just as we
all are, but I see no plan of
action outlined in the message."
The President's message, he
said, also contained no "idea" for
relief of the farm population; nor
do 1 see any effort to straighten
out the finances of the govern
ment and, restore building oppor
tunities for returned soldiers and
sailors and the- other people who
want to build modest homes.

WA1BKUUHY. Conn. (UPl A
mild mannered 53-year-old tool-'.':
maker confessed today that he hr'
me mad bomber who has plant
ed 31 homemade pipe bombs in
New York City in the last It
years.
George Metesky told police hii
motive was revenge against the
Consolidated Edison Company for
25 years of semi-invalidism ht
blamed on a 1931 plant accident
He confessed calmly and readily
after police discovered in tht '
home he shared with two elderly
sisters the lathe on which he pre-
prepared me nomns. ponce had
pegged him as i. "strong" suspect '
on the basis of letters found in
Consolidated Edison files.
"This is the man." New York
Deputy Police Commissioner Wal
ter Arm said. "We know it
through his own admission and
through analysis of his handwrit
ing." Newspapers Helped
Police had worked quietly for
16 years building a description ol
the bomber whoso explosive pipes,
usually encased in a red sock,
had injured 15 persons in New
York City. They took a calculated
risk early last month and asked
news media cooperation in throw
ing the light of publicity on the
bomber's activities. The bomber
paid off the gamble by writing
to the newspapers.
It was new evidence of hu
grudge contained in those letter!
that finally turned up the convinc
ing evidence in the long-thumbed
Consolidated Edison files.
Metesky told police he never
meant to hurt anybody but had
vowed to continue planting bomb
until he died or was captured. He .
made them, he told police, from
materials he bought in dime stores
and Sears Roebuck stores in.'-'
Bridgeport and New York City. .
He mailed the letters that accom
panied his bombs on his way from
Walerbury to New York City, a
fact which had led police to con
centrate their search for some i
weeks In nearby Westchester
County.
Lived In Arizona
Melesky was born in Walerbury,
of Lithuanian parentage, and has
lived there all of his life, except for
three years during which he at
tempted to recover in Arizona
from the tuberculosis he blamed
on an accident while he was in
Consolidated Edison employ.
He was dressed in a pin-striped -
blue suit and looked like a suc
cessful small town businessman as
he was booked first on charges of
felonious assault, malicious mis
chief and possession of a danger
ous weapon.
Metesky, who also uses the
name Milauskas, apparently the
family's original -Lithuanian name,
appeared later in city court and
waived extradition to New York
City. 11c was held In $100,00 bail
and returned to the city jail to
await transportation to New York.-
.he unmarried sisters who had
lived for years over the basement
in which Metesky built his infer
nal machines were aghast at the
disclosure. ,

wouldn't think of doing anything
like that."
