Reason Cited For
Withdrawal From
Race By Robinson
Albany Candidate Also
Quits Election Contest
Fred E. Robinson, Medford
clothier, who until yesterday
was a candidate for the republi
can nomination to the United
States senate, today issued a
statement in which he set forth
his reasons for his withdrawal
from the race yesterday. His
statement follows:
"Primary purpose in filing was
to offer the voters an opportu
1 nity to express their views on
principles and policies of the re
publican party. In my opinion
this opportunity would be de
stroyed if several candidates op
posed Senator Morse.
Views in Accord
"I believe that in Mr. Hoover
(David Hoover, of Deadwood,
Lane county) a candidate is of
fered whose views and principles
are in accord with mine and be
hind whom republicans of simi
lar views can unite.
"Accordingly, to facilitate an
expression of opinion on this
matter, I have withdrawn and
urge support for Mr. Hoover,
who is opening an office imme
diately in Portland.
"I will continue my interest
and efforts in the campaign; also
wish to appeal to every good re
publican to get in this fight to
help stop this trend to socialism."
Another Withdraws
Meanwhile. United Press dis
patches from Salem revealed that
another republican candidate.
Earl L. Dickson, Albany, also has
withdrawn. This leaves only two
candidates opposing incumbent
Sen. Wayne Morse in the primary
election race Hoover, and John
McBride. Portland, secretary to
Senator White, of Idaho.
Other withdrawals from the
primary election include Lori
enne Conlee Fowler, Astoria re
publican candidate for represent
ative; Edwin J. Welsh, democrat
ic candidate for representative
from Washington county, and
Carl Schindler, democrat, Coos
Bay, for representative.
One new filing, received after
the deadline but postmarked be
fore, was from Fred W. Mast
rude, Enterprise democrat for
state representative.
Former Union Leader
Given Jail Sentence
Washington, Mar. 14 (UP.)
Former Milwaukee Union Lead
er Harold R. Christoffcl today
was sentenced to serve two to
six years in jail for lying to the
house labor committee in 1947
about his communist connec
tions. Christoffcl's attorney, Herbert
J. Fabricant, said he would ap
peal the case immediately. But
Federal Judge F. Dickinson Letts
refused to grant bail pending
appeal. Letts said he thinks
there are no substntial questions
of law to be decided by a higher
court and therefore further bail
is not justified.

Grangers And 4-H
Leaders Oppose
Fair Resumption
The Jackson County Grange
Agriculture committee, compos
ed of representatives from every
Grange in the county, and the
Jackson County 4-H Leaders as
sociation have both gone on re
cord as opposing reestablish
ment of a Jackson county fair, at
least in 1950. -
At a meeting held last night,
the agriculture committee stat
ed the reason for their stand in
opposition to the fair is the lack
of money, lack of facilities, and
an apparent lack of public back
ing of the county fair. They said
there was a possibility they
would back restoration of the
fair in 1951 if a new source of
revenue and more public sup
port becomes apparent.
Said Vitally Interested
In a letter addressed to the
county court, the 4-H leaders
said, "we are more vitally inter
ested in the Jackson County fair
than any other group. Our shows,
both livestock and home econ
omics, have outgrown the pres
ent quarters and will be larger
than ever this year. A new barn
lor sheep and hogs must be built
and we understand this will cost
in the neighborhood of $10,000.
"With ' the limited finances
available for a complete county
fair, we will seriously protest
any attempt to have a county
fair if club finances and facili
ties are to be curtailed."
The leaders commended the
county court in deferring a de
cision on tthe restoration of the
event.

TUESDAY, MARCH 14,
Defense and Economic
Strength Emphasized
By Sen. Wayne Morse
Subjects ranging from prob
lems of the domestic economy
to the critical situation in foreign
affairs were covered in a talk
by United States Sen. Wayne L.
Morse in a talk to more than
200 Chamber of Commerce mem
bers and guests at the Rogue
Valley Country club last night.
Here are some of the high-
Senator Morse will address
a public meeting at the Med
ford high school auditorium to
day at 8 p.m., under the aus
pices of Jackson County Re
publican Women. His after,
noon schedule included a ques
tion and answer broadcast over
radio station KYJC from 4 to
5 p.m.
lights of his talk, and of the
question and answer period,
which lasted for two and a half
hours:
International relations and
defense are the most important
issues in this country today,
Senator Morse said, and they are
not being faced by the American
people.
"War is not. necessarily inev
itable: neither is peace," lie said,
adding that the issue will be in
the balance for a minimum of a
quarter-century, with the next
decade the critical period.
Unity Is Need
"There is as much need for
unity among Americans now as
there was on the morning of
Pearl Harbor day," Morse stated.
He made three suggestions of
what should be done to create a
universal awareness of the prob
lem of war or peace, and to make
steps toward its solution. They
are (1) furnishing the people of
this country all the facts in re
gard to our defenses possible un
der adequate security; (2) con
tinue the bi-partisan foreign pol
icy, "practicing as . well as
preaching," and (3) call ah ex-'
traordinary session of the United
Nations assembly to discuss
"real" disarmament, with guar
antees that all parties will ob
serve the agreement.
Morse emphasized that no dis
armament should be considered
on a unilateral basis, and that
Russia must also disarm before
this country can safely consider
doing so. "If Russia finds us weak
enough to lick us, she will try to
do it," he said.
Business as usual must go out
the window, Morse emphasized,
saying that if war were to come
as early as next month. 5.000.000
Americans would be dead with
in 30 days. He reaffirmed his
stand against isolationism, and
praised Sen. Arthur Vandenburg
as one of the nation's great inter
national statesmen who is work
ing toward international justice
through law an objective which
is distant, but the foundations
for which must be laid by this
generation.
Human values the philosophy
that it is the individual that
counts are the basic motif of
democracy, he said, and were Ihc
building stones used by the
founding fathers in creating this
nation. We must get back to
these fundamentals, he said, add
ing, "How can we justify our de
struction of huge food surpluses
when there are empty bellies
throughout half the world? How
can we justify these facts and
Tax Exemption Forms
Should Be Filed Soon
Disabled veterans and widows
of veterans who are eligible for
a $1,000 property tax exemption,
should contact County Assessor
C. A. Myers in the county court
house to fill out the necessary
forms, he reminded today.
To qualify for the exemption,
veterans or their widows must
be:
1. An honorably discharged
Union veteran of the Mexican
war, the Civil war or the Indian
wars.
2. An honorably discharged
veteran of any other American
war, and certified by the veter
ans' administration as having a
disability of 40 per cent or more,
regardless of the amount of com
pensation or pension he receives.
3. An honorably discharged
war veteran with a disability of
40 per cent or more which has
been certified by a licensed Ore
gon physician but not the VA,
provided he has not received
i more than $2,000 in the past
calendar year as pension or re
tirement pay from the govern
ment for his military service.
4. The un-remarricd widow
of an honorably discharged war
veteran.
Deadline for filing for the ex
emption is April 1. and the claim
forms must be filed annually.

still claim we adhere to human
and Christian values?"
A strong and vital economy is
our greatest bulwark, the junior
senator said. In connection with
this he said he cannot justify
the current farm price support
program based on 90 to 100 per
cent of parity. "It will boomer
ang." he said, and added that he
supported a flexible parity farm
price program which would
guarantee a "floor" guaranteeing
to the nation s farmers a stand
ard of health and decency which
is of vital importance to all.
Senator Morse is against the
proposed Columbia valley admin
istration bill, he said, and stat
ed that he was the only senator
to maice a major senate speech
against it. The administration
bill violates the basic essential
of a democracy," he said. "It
does not include the checks
which are an integral part of
democratic government. W e
must not invest in mere men ar
bitrary and unchecked power as
provided in this bill," he added.
Must Offer Proaram
But he said that just being op
posed to the CVA proposal was
not enough, and that something
must be offered to guarantee the
development which is essential
to the defense, and to the econ
omy of the region. He proposed
as a sound program the sugges
tions mane in tne Hoover com
mission reports, and he cited the
provision for interstate compacts
which have proven satisfactory
ior similar aeveiopmenis, ana
the suggestion of a federal cor
poration in which slates would
have a voting voice not merely
an advisory one.
Discussing the Taft-Hartley la-
Dor bill, Morse said that his posi
tion taken in 1947, that there
were defects in the law, have
been proven by two and a half
years experience. Senator Taft
has come to agree with the provi
sions which Morse suggested at
mat time, he said.
Law Fails
In regard to the coal strike,
Morse pointed out where the
Taft-Hartley law had failed, and
went on to say that in his opin
ion the coal industry is as much
a puDUc utility as are communi
cations, transportation and other
utilities now regulated by gov
ernment. He also suggested con
sideration of a minimum wage
for coal workers, pointing out
that Dig daily wages are often de
ceptive, as workers often do not
work the year around.
Then senator said there is a
real need for a "fair" labor bill
neither favoring labor as did the
Wagner act, nor favoring employ
ers as does the Taft-Hartley law
iri certain sections one where
the government would neither
side with labor nor with manage
ment, but would "sit at the head
of the table as a referee."
Assails Pressure Groups
Oregon's junior senator as
sailed "government by pressure
groups," saying that this leads to
class consciousness and to an
eventual loss of freedom. He op
poses socialized medicine for the
same reason that he opposes
CVA the delegation of arbi
trary power without checks.
Taxes should stimulate, not hin
der, the productive capacity of
Ihe economy, which is. he added
the case at present. Bui he said
lie sees little hope for tax reform
prior to the elections.
He favors federal aid to educa
tion provided adequate guaran
tees are set up to insure that
slates have exclusive administra
tion uf the funds. In support of
his position he reported that in
1947 there were six million
American children who received
sub-standard or no education at
all.
No Black-and-White
There is no simple black-or-
white to most of the problems
representatives of the people are
called upon to solve, Morse said,
and he emphasized that his phil
osophy ot representation is de
rived from Edmond Burke slat
ing, in effect, that all questions
should be considered fully with
all facts available, and a decision
made UDnn their merits.
In discussing briefly the ECA
and the necessity of broader and
freer trade to the lulure prosper
ity and neace of the world. Morse
expressed great admiration for
ECA Administralor raul Hon
man, and said "I think so highly
of him. that I believe he would
fill with distinction any office
within the sift of the American
people." And he added "I know
exactly what that sentence
means."
Morse appealed for what he
called "citizen-statesmanship"
and said that citizenship had
great responsibilities, including
the arousing of public opinion to
matters which need attention. It
is in this field, he said, where
public spirited citizens can do
their greatest service to tne na
tion, and aid more than in any
other way the work of their elect
cd representative!.

McCarthy Requests
Probe Into Hiring
Of Sexual Pervert
Washington, Mar. 14. (U.R)
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, (R.
Wis.) testified today that a homo
sexual had been hired by the
central intelligence agency after
the state department allowed
him to resign.
McCarthy did not publicly
identify the man. But he asked
senators investigating his charges
that communists are employed
by the state department to find
out:
Poor Security Risk
(1) Why the man was kept on
the state department payroll for
five years after being arrested
for "sexual perversion," and (2)
how he was able to get "a top-
salaried, important position in
another government agency.
He reminded the senate for
eign relations subcommittee that
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
and Deputy Undersecretary John
E. Peurifoy both have declared
that "homisexuals are regarded
as poor security risks."
McCarthy brought up the case
of the alleged homosexual after:
Ra f.d Communist
1. Accusing Gustavo Duran,
former slate department em
ployee now wllh the United Na
tions, of being a "rabid commun
ist." 2. Charging that Dr. Harlow
Shapley, head of Ihc Harvard

tory, has a "long and interesting''
record as a member of communist-fronts.
3. Calling John Stewart Ser
vice, American far eastern ex
pert, a "bad security risk" whose
"communist affiliations are well
known." McCarthy said he would
not disclose the homosexual's
name, because of the "sordid de
tails," until the committee could
investigate.

14 New Citizens
Swear Allegiance
To United States
Fourteen former aliens yester
day afternoon stood up before
Judge Herbert K. Hanna and
forswore any and all allegiance
to their homelands, promising to
cherish the United States and to
defend it against all its enemies.
They were the 1950 class of nat
uralized citizens. From their se
riousness it was obvious they
were not taking their new obli
gations lightly.
Several Daughters of the
American Revolution were pres
ent in the court room with words
of advice and congratulations for
the new citizens and a represent
ative of the DAR, Mrs. G. Q.
D'Albini. proscribed each of them
with a small silk flag as token
of their new allegiance. She re
minded them that their first duty
as citizens was to register as
voters, following the dictates of
their consciences as to which
party they should join.
Conducts Classes
Mrs. D'Albini is well known
to most of the new class. For
years she has conducted classes
in her home to help aliens un
derstand the country's history
and government and to help
them pass the examinations on
Ihe American constitution which
they arc required to take before
they repeat the final oath of al
legiance. She remarked on the
youthfulness of this year's class.
In previous years, she said, most
of the candidates were gray
headed men and women who had
lived here many years before
they got around to taking out
their papers.
This year there were many
war brides many of them In
this country for only three, or
at the most, four years, and al
ready they had taken the most
fateful step of their lives.
Welcome Given
Col. William H. Paine gave a
brief address of welcome, charg
ing the group to help keep their
nation strong, prosperous, "and
above all, righteous." They were
urged to resist tatse and delud
ing theories of government.

Reports of 'Flying Bodies'
By Trained Meteorologists
Mexico City, Mar. 1 4 (U.R)
Trained aircraft observers and
meteorologists confirmed reports
today of hundreds of persons
who said they saw four "flying
saucers" yesterday over tills city
and one at Monterrey, 350 miles
north.
Official observers shied away
from describing them as "sauc
ers," but admitted that they were
"flying bodies."
Meteorologists at the Mexico
City airport calculated the alti

35.000 and 40,000 feet by using
their weather balloon tracking
instruments.

he "thought" the one he saw was
an asteroid. Santiago Smith, ihe

body through a telescope.

"It was no illusion."

The board's action followed an

tion over elementary schools
only.
The committee previously had
recommended firing Hagen and
four teachers because of "con

any of the Illinois Valley high

But after Neuner's opinion the
