today that disclosure of secret : and most certainly would under

would mean
a "complete col-

Hoover told a senate foreign
relations investigation subcom

of any investigative organization
which has the power to rule on
what portions of its files should
be disclosed publicly and which
should remain secret.

With Attorney General J.

before a senate foreign relations
subcommittee looking into Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy's charges
that the state department is
loaded with communists. McCar

At the same time Hoover re
ported that "a foreign power"
is stepping up efforts to seek
"intimate personal details con
cerning many of our leaders in
government and industry."
Turning the files over to con
gress might aid this process, he
said.
McGrath. who testified before
Hoover, declared that giving con
gressional committees a look at
FBI files would make it "ex
tremely difficult, if not impos
sible," for the FBI to perform
its duties. It would likewise un
dermine United States principles
of justice, he said.
Hoover and McGrath testified
before a jam-packed audience
and under the glare of camera
kleig lights.
"A disclosure of FBI reports,'
Hoover said, "would reveal the
identity of confidential sources
of information and, if it did not
Dlace the the lives of such per
sons in actual jeopardy, it would
certainly ruin their value and
effectiveness.
Likewise, he said, it would
provide a valuable tipoff for
criminals, foreign agents and
subversives on FBI "procedures

Death of Washington Girl Blamed
On Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Inhalation Of
Gas Reported By
Crime Pathologist
Young Girl's Body
Recovered Fropi River
Vancouver, Wash., Mar. 27
(U.R; Pretty JoAnn Dewey. 18.
whose battered body was found
in the Wind river a week after
she was kidnaped by two men.
died of "acute asphyxiation"
caused by inhalation of carbon
monoxide gas. a coroner's jury
was told today.
Dr. Howard L. Richardson,
University of Oregon Medical
school crime pathologist, testified
that carbon monoxide was the
primary cause ol death. He was
the first witness at a Clark coun
ty coroner's inquest held in a
Vancouver funeral home.
Officers investigating the case
said, on the basis of Dr. Richard
son's testimony, that the girl
may have been slugged into un
consciousness by abductors and
left to die of gas inhalation be
fore she was thrown into the
river.
Dr. Richardson also testified
that two of the head wounds
were inflicted on JoAnn before
death. These were gashes on the
chin and behind the left ear. Oth
er injuries, he testified, prob
ably were caused by impact with
rocks and water when she was
thrown into the river, possibly
from a bridge upstream.
AH available officers mobil
ized today to find the kldnap
slaycrs. Miss Dewey was found
yesterday morning by three
young fishermen. Her battered
body lay face down in a cluster
of wet rocks near the middle
of the swift-running stream four
miles east of Stevenson. Wash.,
and 50 miles east of Vancouver.
"We are working day and
night on the case and we will
continue to do so," said Police
Chief Harry Diamond. "We
don't intend to let down at all."
Chief Diamond said he felt
the girl had been dead "for a
long time" possibly since the
night of March 19 when she was
snatched from a dimly-lighted
Vancouver street and dragged,
screaming, into an automobile.
Officers began sifting the
ashes of a small, unused cabin
near the spot where the body was
found. The cabin burned to the
ground Tuesday night. Author
ities speculated the abductors
may have taken the girl to the
cabin after abducting her.

that led him to strangle an at
tractive WAF sergeant.
Buswell was held under a "sui

charge of murder.
His victim was WAF Sgt.

Hamilton field air base. An au
topsy report indicated she had
been raped.

finding her body. His story was
so vague that authorities became
suspicious. He finally confessed
after daylong questioning by
FBI agents.
"I choked her," he said. "I
got nothin' more to live for."

Road Maintenance
By County Crews
March rains are hampering the
road maintenance and repair
work of the county engineer's de
partment and the condition of
many of the roads is growing
worst as heavy traffic chops
through the softened roadbeds.
County Engineer Paul Ryn
ning said today some county
routes may be in bad condition
if weather does not improve to
the point where repair crews
can get to work on them. Loud
limit restrictions imposed last
winter are still in effect on three
roads in the county although
Rynning had expected they could
be removed much earlier. Heavy
haulers arc restricted on the An
telope, Crowloot and Sardine
creek roads.
Other work under Rynning's
Jurisdiction is proceeding satis
lactorily, he reported. The new
steel and concrete bridge being
built by the county across the
Rogue river at the city of Rogue
River has made good progress
despite bad weather and occa
sional high water.
Much of the concrete on the
south side of the river has been
poured and work has just been
started on the concrete piers on
the north side. Steel structural
for the main span are expected
to arrive from the fabricators
next month, according to Ryn
ning. The new structure will re
place the ancient bridge connect
ing the main community of
Rogue River with highway 91).
It gets heavy use from log and
lumber haulers.

Lawyers for Owen J. Lattimorc
branded as a "colossal lie" to
day Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy s
charge that Lattimorc is the top
Soviet espionage agent" in this
country.
They demanded in a letter to
the Wisconsin republican that he
"retract and repudiate" his
charge.
McCarthy gave senate investi
gators Lattimorc's name in con
nection with his sweeping charg
es that the state department is
"invested" with communists and
communist sympathizers. He told
numerous newspapermen "off
the record" that Lattimorc was
his "ton" case. Radio Commenta

In the orient is "explosive" and
Klein said- he did not minimize

MacArthur traced the devel

and super-bombs. He said the
masses of thp people, "even the
Russians," do not want war.

French Dock Men
Strike In Protest
Of Arms Shipments
Ports Tied Up
By Red-Called Move
Paris, Mar. 27 (U.R) A communist-called
dock strike in pro
test against American arms aid
shipments tied up traffic in
French ports today.
The communist-led general
confederation of labor ordered
all 35.000 members of its steve
dore union to quit work for 24
hours.
Call Ignored
Rebellious dockers at the trans
Atlantic port of Cherbourg ig
nored the strike call and report
ed for work as usual. But most
union members in other ports
appeared to have gone on strike.
Only small forces of non-communists
showed up at the quays
in Marseilles, Le Havre, Bor
deaux and other major seaside
cities.
Hclmetcd, armed republican
guards marched into dock areas
of the ports for patrol duty to
guard against any outbreaks of
violence or sabotage.
At Marseilles, police and
guardsmen helped load military
supplies on ships for Indo-China,
but elsewhere they engaged only
in patrol duty.
Protest
Technically, the strike was
called in protest against the ar
rest of three strikers by Mar
seille police after a communist
labor demonstration there last
week.
But both the government and
the union saw the strike more as
a protest against the impending
arrival of American arms under
the military assistance program
to Atlantic Pact nations.
It also provided a rest of
strength in the ports where the
communists have proclaimed
their intention of halting the un
loading of arms shipments.-

day in a report that a' plane
was heard here last Wednes
day morning.
Mrs. Albert Straus. Sams

from Lakeview to Portland fol
lowed by a private! plane miss
ing with four Portlanders
aboard.
Smaller planes also took off
in poor weather to scan the
Klamath Falls - Lakeview- Red
mond triangle. Snow showers
were reported in the area but
the weather bureau said a storm
which curtailed week-end search
flights was disappearing.
Hunt Shifting
Mocabee said the hunt was
gradually shifting northward to
the area between Redmond and
The Dalles.
Leaders of the search be
lieved the last authentic report
on the plane had it headed west
over the Wapinitia cutoff which
crosses the base of Mt. Hood.
George Blakkolb. brother of
missing pilot Lee Blakkolb, said
his brother once said he would
head northwest over the high
way if he encountered snow and
ice aloft in that region.
Sunday about 30 planes from
Klamath Falls and Redmond
searched most of the John Day
country at treetop level through
snow and rain.
Conditioni Haiardous
Larry Harvey, Portland, a pi
lot flying out of Redmond, said
weather conditions aloft were
so hazardous that they feared
search planes would be lost.

"Arts and sciences have prog
ressed more rapidly than character-building."
MacArthur told
Klein. "If we had achieved the
heights in character that we
have in other fields, all would

no longer is any advantage to
winning a war. Everyone loses
with the victors losing a little
less than the vanquished. Even
In this nasi war, we found that
the destruction requires Ul to
carry new burdem now."
