Favors Making
Lists Available
Salem U.R) A committee
hearing on Rep. 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.

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. ' ,

May 21, 1946, while Dr. Louis
Slotin was experimenting with
two . sub-critical - masses of fis

But there have been no fatal
ities since, the AEC- took control
of the atomic project and none
since perfection of remote con
trol equipment made it no longer
necessary to perform dangerous
but vital experiments at close
range.
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.
Peabody's service department
provides instructors for class
groups, thus turning the mu
seum into a classroom. . . s
One, of the most unusual ex
hibits at Peabody represents the
ugnrer siae ot Amencan his-
tory,' the circus. It's the skeleton ;
of Gargantua, the famous circus'
gorilla. '; ; - - T .
