Bugsy Siegel, Witness Tells Court
Fresno, Cal., Jan.' 19 (U.PJ
California Attorney General
Fred N. Howser received $75,000
when Racketeer Benjamin (Bug
sy) Siegel was slain, a witness
testified yesterday in the con
spiracy trial of two former How
ser aides.
County Detective Amll Demes,
a government witness, said
James T. Mulloy, former Long
Beach bookie and an earlier wit
ness, told him:
"I can make or break Howser.
I can prove Howser got $75,000
for the Siegel killing."

is in a file now in possession of
Columnist Drew Pearson.

Portland Feels Impact
Of Peace Problems
Portland, Ore., Jan. 19 (U.R)
Portland's lady mayor, Mrs. Dor
othy Lee McCullough Lee, said
today in her annual report to the
city council that the year of 1949
was a transitory one for the city
in that it "felt the full impact
of the peacetime problems cre
ated by the enormous increase
in its population and its rapid
economic growth."
She estimated the city's pop
ulation by the end of 1949 at
433,000, a gain of 6,000 for the
year.
Mrs. Lee presented a detailed
discussion on Portland's finan
cial difficulty, which she partly
blamed on the monopoly of rev
enue sources by the state and
federal government.
On the brighter side, the re
port said 60 new industries were
started in Portland with a total
investment of more than $2,
000,000. In addition, said the re
port, 70 businesses spent a total
of $4,500,000 on expansion pro
grams. In 1893 Cleveland said,
"While people should support
their government, its functions
do not include the support of the
people."
Lentz and Robert Franklin. They
are accused of trying to tamper
with Mulloy, a witness in a $300,
000 libel suit Howser has filed
in Washington, D. C, against
Pearson.
Howser filed suit when Pear
son broadcast that the attorney
general received payments of
$1,200 from a Long Beach bookie
in 1946. Pearson based his re
marks on a statement from Mul
loy. The prosecution contends that
Lentz and Franklin, the defend
ants in this trial, offered Mulloy
$18,000 to repudiate his state
ment in favor of Howser,
Viiited Ex-Congroisman
Earlier, Mulloy told how he
visited former congressman B.
W. Gearhart and told Gearhart
he wanted to contact Howser.
His purpose, he said, was to let
Howser know he was willing to
repudiate the Pearson broadcast.
Before the visit, however, Mul
loy said a mysterious "fat man"
told him Howser would pay
$25,000 to change his version of
the bookie payoff.

The Oregon Humane society to
day reminded Orcgonians that
the continued cold spell was giv
ing birds a rough time and urged
householders to toss out a little
food for their feathered friends.
Harvey Wells, society presi

a little time between tasks of
shoveling snow off the sidewalk
and shoveling fuel into the fur

would appreciate it.
Wells said warmed pans of
drinking water also would be
well received by the birds.
