The storv said the adminis tration warned it would prove ! that 96 per cent of federal em ployees fired as security risks were inherited from the Truman regime. The spokesman said any in vestigation would show more than 50 of those dismissed as subversives had been members of the Communist Party. . "It will show that many were members of 10 or a dozen organi zations listed by the attorney general as subversive," the spokesman was quoted. "It will show that, of the 48 perverts found in the Central Intelligence Agency, every one was a holdover from the Truman administration. It will show that, Major Accused ' Of Betraying U.S. In Korean Prison Fort Sill, Okla. (U.R) Maj. Ambrose Nugent, a 44-year-cld career soldier, was accused Fri day of betraying his country during 38 months as a spy of the Communists in Korea. Nugent, a Wisconsin National Guardsman who stayed in the regular army after World War II, said he asked only for a fair trial. The Fort Sill public informa tion office said Nugent allegedly violated the 96th Article of War in seven cases and Article 13 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice in six others. The most serious allegations were two of "treasonable of fenses," not otherwise defined. The Army said the other charg es included offering intelligence to the enemy, hindering the es cape of fellow POWs permitting the use of his photo and signa ture on surrender leaflets, and collaborating with the Commun ists. "1 think arid hope the Army will give me a fair trial. That is all I ask," said Nugent of Merrill, Wis. "While I was a prisoner, I tried to help my fellow prison ers to the best of my ability and I never received any preferent ial treatment of any kind."

Dizick, route 2, Gold Hill, was "jUst about the most unpopular man" on board the USS Osbourn recently, according to a Navy press release. Dizick, a hospital corpsman,- is usually highly popular for his seasick or headache remedies for the men aboard the destroyer. But not when he lined up his fellow crew members to give them their" bi-yearly "shots" for cowpox, cholera; tetanus and typhoid. The Navy release said on one day he shoved a needle . into the arm of sailors more than 1,200 times, with each of the 250-man crew getting five shot each.

Mrs. Ring, the mother of five children, will have to undergo surgery soon, and because of illness has been separated from time to time from several of her children. In addition, her doc tor has told her she must "take it a lot easier" in the future. Her husband, who is "employed by Red Blanket Lumber com pany, has been working over time recently in efforts to earn enough money to take care of the necessary medical treatment, as well as to get his wife some of the appliances which would make life easier for her. But it just hasn't been enough, the friends reported Saturday. Finally, they asked her if they Could help. They said she con sented, but only on the basis she likes to help people, too, when she can, and thinks maybe her friends feel the same way. She doesn't want any anonymous gifts, though, because she wants to be able to thank, personally, anyone helping. Both Were 111 Mrs. Dee Hedgpeth is a leader in this movement.

He was the first accused since the Army , announced Oct. 23 that it was preparing to court martial some 40 officers and men on charges they collaborat ed in POW camps. Cpl. Claude J. Batchelor, Ker- mit, Tex., is serving a 20 year sentence for collaboration and tattling on fellow prisoners, and Cpl. Edward S. Dickenson, of Crackers Neck, Va., a 10 year sentence for collaboration. Both have appealed, as has Lt. Col. Harry Fleming of Ra cine, Wis., who was ordered dis charged under dishonorable con ditions. Col. Frank H. Schwable of Arlington, Va., a Marine Corps flyer and the only non-Army man accused thus far, went be fore an investigating board Which could not find evidence to justify a trial. Nugent was captured in Korea on July 5, 11 days after the North Koreans began the war. He was a captive until Sept. 1, 1953.

Root Sees Next Session of Legislature as State Rep. Robert Root of Medford Friday night told dele gates to the state convention of the Young Republicans of Ore gon that the 1955 session of the state legislature will be "a tough one" because of the fiscal prob lem. Speaking at the Jackson hotel, Root pointed out that more than $22,000,000 in new money will be required "if needs remain the same." However, he added that needs are going to increase in school, welfare, salary adjust ments and building. Heavy Local Taxes The state representatives add ed that the legislature will be reluctant to put all the increase on property, "even though the voters might be considered to have asked for it" when they de feated the six-mill property tax limit at the general election. The basis for the reluctancy will be the heavy local property taxes in many places, he added. A Tribute Social Service Workers Of all the humanitarians In story and song, none plays a greater part In alleviating sorrow, frustrd lion and stark tragedy than the unselfish and loving social worker. Putting her work before even her own health and welfare; ofttimes denying her self simple pleasures that she may have mere time to work among the poor and needy, the Social Worker is indeed the Good Samaritan of modern times .. and, here in our own Community she is doing a work that brings praises from religious leaders of every sect and creed.

However, the Oregon legislature doesn't al ways take the easy answer, and this one will still call for plenty of aspirin.'' To Use Surplus He pointed out that the state will use up all but about $8,000, 000 of the $55,000,000 treasury surplus it had at the end ol World Wat II.

(See Sfory on Page 1) To EM Proposal Seen fls Newest Mempt To Freeze Out O. By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Foreign Analyst ' Soviet Russia's call for a conference on "collective security" in Europe is the latest attempt by the Kremlin to freeze the United States out of Europe. . It is aimed directly at preventing the armament of Western Germany and sabotaging the North Atlantic Treaty. Organization. But Moscow's big aim remains, as it has been for a long time, to promote the "Yankee Go Home" movement of the Com munists and leave Russia dominant on the whole continent of Europe. ' Under the Russian call for a Conference to start in Moscow or Paris on Nov. 29 the United States would be invited only as an outsider. along with Communist China Moscow Note Seen As New Propaganda j It is incredible that Soviet Premier Georgi M. Molenkov and Foreign Minister Vyaches lav Mi Molotov really could hope to lure the Western Allies into this conference and get it started only 16 days from now. Hence the Moscow note may be written off .largely as propa ganda. It is propaganda which never theless has its appeal to the im portant elements in Europe who are ready to do nearly anything to get rid of their dread of a third World War. But the Kremlin's overall aim is to get the United States out of Europe and to gain control of the whole of Europe including Ger many. It was oh last February 10, at the Big Four foreign ministers conference in Berlin, that Molo tov proposed a 50-year security treaty which would take the place of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Nobody but a Communist ever would have had the cheek to make such a proposal that the Western Allies scrap their de fense system, that the European Allies abandon their defense ties with the United States and that they enter a "security" treaty in which they would depend for their defense upon the Red armies of Russia and its satel lites. Under the Soviet proposals, the United States would take part in the "security" confer ence, while Red China would be there only as an observer. . But the United States would be effectively frozen out of any part in the defense of Europe- and there would be no organized defense against Communist ag gression.

Phone 2-2344 - it did not enter into any blist ering denunciation of "war mongers." It was, rather, argu mentative and, from the Com munist viewpoint, reasoned. That may be part of the cur rent Soviet "peaceful co-existence" propaganda, which ad vanced a stage last Sunday when Malenkov urged in talking to the United States and British ambassadors in Moscow that the Big Four power revert to old fashioned secret diplomacy to keep individual incidents from becoming crises. It is interesting to note that every tune the western Allies get- closer together, the Russians start making proposals and al leged conciliatory gestures of their own.
