Salem, Oregon, Saturday, April 6, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL dcuuuu i i ago o t Solon Accuses State Dept. of 'A Side Issue' O'Mahoney Says Group Owes Negro Newsman An Apology , By ERNEST B. VACCAHO WASHINGTON Hi - Sen. O'Ma honey (D-Wyo) accused the Stale Department today ot raising "a side issue" to divert attention from its refusal to permit news men to enter Red China. O'AIahoney said the department owes an apology" to Negro news man William Worthy for testi mony the senator said was "in tended to show he had been jailed for refusing to go to a conscien tious objectors camp" in World War II. In Chicago, Worthy said he re fused to go to a CO camp in 1943 on grounds there was racial dis crimination in assignments to uch camps. He said he never was prosecuted, but was classified 4 F because of an ulcer. Member of Group O'Mahoney is a member of a Senate Constitutional Rights sub committee inquiring into the State Department's ban against Americans, including newsmen, entering Communist China. Worthy, who works for the Bal timore Afro-American, defied that ban and visited Red China late last year. Earlier this week, the department turned down his appli cation for a new passport. Yesterday, Robert Cartwrlght, acting director of the State Department's Bureau of Security and Consular Atfairs, testified that a William Worthy pleaded guilty in Federal District Court at Phil adelphia in 1944 to a charge of refusing to report to a conscien tious objectors camp, served a day in jail and later went to the camp. 'Doesn't Jibe' Sen. Hruska (R-Neb) said that did not jibe with recent testimony of newsman Worthy that he was classified 4-F and was never under any charge. Reached in Chicago later, Worthy said he was classified as a conscientious objector in 1943 but refused to go to a CO camp because of racial discrimination in assignments to camps. , He said that there' was no charge of "draft-dodging or eva sion" and that the Department of Justice dropped prosecution "rath er than face a court test on the racial discrimination issue," and "after it learned I was eligible for a 4-F exemption for a duodenal ulcer." Worthy said he did not serve any time in jail and "I never went to a conscientious objectors camp." 'Reputation Unsullied' O'Mahoney said Worthy's state ment "completely disposes of the allegation" and that Worthy's "reputation as a citizen is unsul lied." But Hruska said he would ask the subcommittee to obtain a full report of the Philadelphia court proceedings to set tne recora straight." "The charge against Worthy is a side issue, which was apparent ly brought up by the State De partment for the purpose of di verting attention from the basic issue, 0 Mahoney told an inter' viewer. "That issue is whether the American press is entitled to send its accredited representatives to any area of the world in which the interests of the American people are at stake. 'Made' Lumber Seen in Future VICTORIA, B.C. UV-A glimpse into the future when lumber may be manufactured instead of sawed has been taken by M. J. Foley, president of the Powell' River Co. ' Foley forecast rapid progress within the next few years in the manufacture of synthetic lumber . or shaving boards. 1 He sooke at the 12th annual Olympic Logging Conference which opened here with 200 lum bermcn from the U.S. Pacific Nnrihwest in attendance. Processed lumber opens up big possibilities, Foley said. He add ed some of the new boards ap pear superior to lumber because they do not shrink or expand no ticeably with changing at mospheric conditions. "The day when we make more of our lumber than we saw may not be as far away as we trunk, Foley said. School Aid Bill Lists 11 Million For NW Building u'Asmvr.TOV (fl Federal t..A.
