Attorney K. C. Tanner said he was paid the fee to defend Clyde Crosby, Oregon Teamster Union boss, and other union officials six months before he agreed also to defend Dist. Atty. William M. Langlcy. He took Langlcy's case after a lawyer who had been handling it became III, Tanner said. The Portland attorney added that he first discussed the mat ter with Crosby and Langlcy, pointing out that his defense of both might lead to the inference that there was some link between the two. "Sen. Mundt did exactly that," Tanner said, "but there is abso lutely no connection as far as my association is concerned. Mundt, South Dakota Republi can, is a member of the commit tee investigating charges of labor union racketeering at which pay ment of the $5,000 fee to Tanner was made public. It. R. Mikesell, secretary-treasurer of the Oregon Joint Council of Teamsters, testified at the hearing Wednesday that he did not know why the money was paid to Tanner. He said he was sure Crosby could explain it but Crosby was not called back before the committee immediately. Tanner said that Crosby can ex plain payment of the fee. The Portland altorney said he had done considerable legal work for Crosby and other union offi cials, even going to the Oregon Supreme Court asking for a writ of mandate in demanding that Crosby be brought to trial. Tanner accused Oregon's Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thorulon of de laying the trials of Crosby and Langlcy, under indiclincnl by a county grand jury on conspiracy and other charges, involving gam bling and operation of pinball machines. "Crosby is innocent and so is Langlcy and but li will be acquit ted in due lime," Tanner said. Tanner said he had represented the Teamsters Union previously. WEYMOUTH, Mass.

These were- purportedly made secretly by Elkins. McClcllan said so much of the language in the recordings Is "ob scene and vulgar" they could not bo heard In public, but that full transcripts are available to the committee. Langlcy fidgeted as the squeaky tape recordings were played into evidence. Klkins, who swore ho had the recordings made and that they have not been "altered" In nnv way, sat not far from Langlev and called off the voices as lie said he recognized them. The reference to Uie "screw- nail In .Salem was an a recording Elkins said was made Aug. 22 by "bugging" a room in a Portland apartment building in which Langlcy, McLaughlin and Tom Maloney, another Seattle gam bler, were talking.

Chicuso Grain CHICAGO Wi Wheat futures fell around two cents a bushel at times on the Board of Trade 'hursday on liquidation caused partly by moisture in Nebraska, one of the drier states in the win ter wheat belt. Corn and oats also were off a cent more occasionally, villi sell ing influenced by House action in killing all pending farm legislation pertaining to corn acreage allotments.

Langlcy earlier told the com mlttee that he exnecled to testify In his own behalf in connection with the conspiracy Indictment against him In Oregon. "The transcript of that testl mony will be available to this committee, he said. He said he had known Mayor Terry Svhrunk of Portland since 1949.
