Alfred Corbett's bill to restrict use of voters' lists turned into one of the most frankly partisan issues of the 1955 legislative session . yester day when both Democratic and Republican officials tangled over the use of addressograph plates in the secretary of state's office. . Corbett's measure would make it a misdemeanor for the state or counties to sell, loan, lease or otherwise make available the lists of registered voters. Cor tfett, a Portland Democrat, said the motive for. his bill was the use during the 1954 senatorial 'campaign of addressograph lists of voters by the Guy Cordon campaign committee in Multno mah county.1 Under-Table Deal Alleged - Howard Morgan, state Demo cratic chairman, asserted that addressographed lists of Mult nomah county voters was sup plied to the Cordon campaign or ganization in an under-the-table deal that was .not made avail able on the same basis to the Richard Neuberger organization. Morgan said Neuberger did not know the list was available. " Mrs. Frederic Young, secre tary of the Oregon Republican Central committee, retorted that GOP use of the lists was above board, honest, and, 'she empha sized, paid for. She said she had learned ' that the Democratic party had made use of voters' lists in 1950 but had never paid for them. She said the cost of the Cordon campaign committee for the lists in one county had beert $386; including overtime 'for two state workers who put the Cordon postcards through the addressograph machines. At other times, Mrs. Young said, the Republican Central commit tee had purchased the lists at a cost of $3000, .which was promptly paid. - , - Healy To Testify ' ' Morgan told the House Elec tions and Reapportionment Com mittee that he had been told by William Healy, assistant secre tary of state, in 1952, that he had no authority to make the lists available or to sell' them. Com mittee chairman E. H. Mann (R Medford) .said , Healy . would be called to testify at "a subsequent hearing on the bill. . ; David Simpson, Newberg, who made the arrangements for using the addressograph plates in the Cordon campaign said he approached the secretary of state's ' office ."at arms ' length" to avoid possible political com plications. While the list was made available to him without Question, he said, he did not feel it incumbent on himself to noti- fy the : Neuberger organization that the list was being used. Wants Workable Rules . - Mrs. Beretth Hopkins, Jack son county clerk, told the com mittee that from the standpoint of the county clerks' operations, the voters' lists should be made available to the heads of each party central committee in each county nd that the use of the lists from then on should be a party responsibility. She said she had no objection to the Legisla ture setting up "ground rules" for, use of the lists but she felt they should be workable rules. Morgan said he had no objec tion to Mrs. . Hopkins' sugges tions. Corbett said he felt county clerks should not be in the busi ness of selling voters' lists.

Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS 'United Pratt-Future Writer t IT V ' " Ik Herman Nichols Councilmen Unconcerned With Museum's Problem " Newport, R. I. U.R) The Smithsonian Institution has a problem and the Newport city council doesn't care. : , A former councilman told the body' that the Smithsonian has trouble cataloguing : Newpot's famed Old Stone Mill, because the ancient structure doesn't have an official name. And he proposed it be called Newport Tower. , The councilmen shrugged and 1 chill went on' to other business. ping. Washington (l).R) The new Democratic "whip" likes to talk politics. But he would rather -"""""t toll vmi a Vim it. the toughest assignment he ever had. ; Rep. Carl Al bert of Okla homa -was pretty new in the Congress when it ..hap pened. - - , It came soon after war , broke : out in Korea. A widowed mother from 1 his district got her new congress man on the telephone. She told Albert: "Haven't I done enough? I lost three sons in World War II. And now my ohy surviving son is be ing sent overseas in this Korean mess. ' We voted : for you, sir, can't you help?" Albert said he would do what he could. He called , the Penta gon and got the office of the Army chief of staff on the wire. He told him the whole story. The "man on the" other end of the line told : the gentleman from Oklahoma that the Army during World War II had a stand-pat rule. Never send the last surviv ing boy overseas. In the - next breath the Pentagon man said that that policy had been junked so far as Korea was concerned. Nothing To Do '. ' There was nothing the Army could do, although the Army was sorry. - . The- soldier . involved present ed another problem.' "He had volunteered. Board of Trade Prices Higher in Past Year ' Chicago U.R) Wheat and soybean prices were somewhat higher on the board of trade in 1954 than a year ago, with farm ers showing a tendency to put a large part of these crops into storage for the government loan. Corn and oats values showed little change. Rye traded" lower most of the year, however, but rallied firmly early ' last fall when .Canadian and European crop losses became substantial.' a Robert C. Liebenow, board, of trade secretary,' reported total grain futures trading volumes in Chicago for the first 11 months of 1954 was , almost identical with the same period in 1953. ' Liebenow predicted that grain prices in 1955 probably will re main about the same as in 1954 on the basis that it appears we are entering a period of full em ployment and increased business activity. ' ;: Vm- Albert grabbed anqther : tele phone. He called his f r)end, Rep. Carl Vinson of Georgia, who at the time was chairman of the House Armed Services Commit tee and an old hand at military matters. A man can learn a lot of tricks after 40 years in Con gress. That was Vinson. u , There came across the. tele phone lines some hot words. . "The Army, has an established policy of not sending a sole sur viving son overseas," said Vinson. Albert said he had gone over all of that and that the rules had been changed. "No,'' said the veteran son, "the policy stil is in effect. And if the Army says it is not, there will be a new law on the books, before tomorrow." Short Work Albert felt a little better after his talk with his old friend. He hung up and waited. It wasn't long. ....... , . In less than an hour the Army chief of staff rang him up. - "Congressman Albert," the big man said. "We wap.t to ad vise you that that policy of not sending sole surviving sons overseas has been reinstated and is effective immediately."- The soldier already was on his way to the Far East.- - The radio got to work. When the lad got to Tokyo, he was tak en off and flown back to the United States. - - The boy, of course, served his time. But he was close enough to home to see Mom once in awhile. Thanks to Rep. 'Albert -. Washington U.R). A Uni versity of California professor told the House Armed Services Committee yesterday that "ex plosions and casualties have characterized many . . atomic installations." . , r Dr. Ralph W. Chaney, pro fessor of paleontology, made the statement as he( appeared to seek special ; exemptions for atomic scientists. ' . He told of the case of a nu clear . physicist at . the Liver more laboratory in : California who $is about to be drafted. Chaney said the man is respon sible for the safety of 1600 peo ple working on bomb develop ment at the laboratory, and is the only man available there who can prevent ''explosions and casualties that have character ized many other atomic installa tions.''; '-. V . V , V Questioned,, later by a re porter, Chaney said the deaths occurred at places including Los Alamos and Oak Ridge. ; Chaney refused to say how many casualties there have been but said he was not talking about "one person," , He said the cas ualties "haven't been mentioned much" and the information may be classified. Most Urgent Question ; Chaney said the question of keeping,the safety expert at Liv ermore is "one of the most ur gent things in the United States.'? He declined to. reveal the expert's name. He said his' Russian Champaane Called 'Horrible- v Rheims, France (U.R) Henri Germain,, president . of . the Rheims football team, returned from matches in Russia to report that the Soviets-are now making their own champagne. They call it cobetckoe Illamilahckoe, but Germain x called it ''Horrible! A very poor quality of sparkling wine." . ;t ,.. ...:... French law - states that the only wine that can be called "champagne" must come from grapes grown in the Champagne district of France and must be made from ;.these ; grapes in .a very specific way. According ta Germain, the Russians like their wine sweet and have loaded their "Cham pagne" with from five to 10 per cent of sweet syrup. This news was enough to cause the authori ties in this Champagne capital of the world to shudder with horror. The; French,- and most American connoisseurs, feel champagne is best when "brut," or very dry. draft status is being appealed, but the outlook for deferment is "very bleak." According to the Atomie En ergy Commission, there have been only two deaths as a resuit of nuclear accidents in facilities of the U. S. atomic project. Both occurred when the pro ject was being operated by the Army arid ' before the civilian AEC took over pn Jan. 1, 1947. Both . occurred at Los Alamos, N. M., during "critical mass" ex periments to. determine the amount and shape of atomic .ma terials necessary to produce a self-sustaining chain reaction. The first of the fatal accidents occurred Aug. 21, 1945. Two persons were exposed to atomic radiation when the materials in the experiment unexpectedly exceeded critical :' dimensions." One of the experimenters, Harry K. Daglauv died of his injuries on Sept. 15,1945. ; ; i More Policemen Hurt iii Routine Accidents ; ... Chicago (U.R) More police men are " "hurt - in routine . acci dents such as slipping off a curb than are shot in gun bat tles with bandits, a study shows. The Civil Service Assembly urged that policemen and .fire men be included in safety pro grams for city employees. ."Although the nature of their work may prevent a low record of accidents, there is no' doubt that most police and fire de partments have a needlessly high frequency,": the assembly said. ; . It said the city of Detroit re ported a .50,. per cent reduction in ' lost-time accidents after in stalling a year-tround safety pro gram. ' In ' Cincinnati, the cost .for industrial compensation used to be $1 for every $100 of payroll money. ' - -. v : But last year's rate was re duced to 60 cents, for a saving of about $86,000, through the installation of an accident pre vention program, the assembly said.

University Disproves Belief on Museums New Haven, Conn. (U.R) The popular, belief . that , museums are merely 'warehouses for dead animals and musty old collec tions is being disproved at Yale University. . '' V Yale's Peabody Museum of Natural History actually is audio-visual education in three dimensions. - "There's no' such thing as a 'grand tour" at Peabody. Stu dents from public and private schools and colleges and uni versities come to the . museum for 'a particular purpose, such as to study a particular exhibit of dinosaurs. The exhibits don't have much chance to gather dust. Most are changed every few months. Oth ers, "those expressing truths that do not change," are kept intact from year to year.
