. New York (U.R) Former
Communist Harry Matusow, a
.self-styled "coward," returns to
Federal Court today for more
testimony about his "false" ac
cusations against 13 convicted
Red leaders.
Matusow, 27, told Federal
Judge Edward J. Dimock Thurs
day that he had only been a pup

one of the prosecutors of the
convicted Communists and later

Oregon Relative
Responsibility Act
Declared Invalid
".- Law Said Incapable
o Of Interpretation
v; Portland (U.R) Multnomah
County Circuit Judge Frank J.
Lonergan yesterday declared un
constitutional the ' state's rela
tives' responsibility act..-
Judge Lonergan said the law
was "so conflicting, vague, in
definite and uncertain as to be
incapable of interpretation."
He further declared the 1949
law was "unreasonable, arbi
trary, discriminatory' and op
pressive in that it fixes and in
flexible scale determining the
liability of responsible relatives
without relation to ability - to
pay . . or pro rata assessment
on all liable relatives."
The decision was handed down
in a suit-brought by Alma D.
Mallatt, Portland school teacher,
against the state Public Welfare
Commission. '
Validity Challenged -
The plaintiff, who had been
ordered by the welfare commis
sion to pay $70 monthly toward
the support of her parents, chal
lenged the validity of the law.
She asked the cijurt to determine
whether her brothers and sis
ters, should not be equally liable
. on a pro rata basis -depending
" on their incomes. .
Judge Lonergan criticized thetaxes and a balanced budget.
law, wnicn was amended ;, in
1953, for singling out one . or
several of responsible relatives
holding such persons liable for
the full measure"bf contribution.
The judge, in declaring the
law unconstitutional, issues a
conditional decree which would
authorize the state legislature
to correct its faults before it
is voided. The ruling would take
: effect April 15.
Salem U.R) Legislation de
signed to make the state's rela
tives' responsibility act constituv
tional will be introduced in the
legislature, Sen. George Ulett,
chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee on Social Se
curity, said today.
Attorney General Robert
Thornton said he would appeal
Judge Lonergan' s ruling to the
State Supreme court. But in the
meantime, ..Sen. Ulett said his
committee would study the de
cision and go ahead with plans
toa introduce remedial legisla

Neuberger Tells of
Identical Letters
Washington (U.R) Sen. Rich
ard L.' Neuberger (D-Ore.) said
today it is "sort of a sinister
thing" that he received 40 or 50
identical form letters opposing
Senate confirmation of Judge
John Marshall Harlan to the
Supreme Court,
Neuberger told the. Senate
that all the letters some of
them carbon copies were on
letterheads of the Crawford &
Doherty Foundry Co., 4604 S. E.
17th ave., Portland, Ore.
"Either owners are dragoon
ing their employees into sign
ing these letters, or there is
some undercover movement
against Judge Harlan, for which
no reason is given,"' Neuberger
said. -' i

Mrs. Buttram was reading the story Saturday when, she

Mysterious Move
To Power Shift
Unpopular Decision V
Assumed To Be Cause
London (U.R) Soviet Russia t
purged its Supreme Court today
in a mysterious move which So
viet experts here believed may :
be linked to the recent top level'
shift in power in the Kremlin.
Moscow Radio, ' monitored :
here, announced that six justices
of the highest court in Russia
have been ousted and replaced. -
The Soviet Supreme Court is
the court of final jurisdiction .
in cases of" treason, sabptage and
other high crimes against ' the
state... ; , t
Unpopular Decision Seen
No reason was given for the
shakeup. But it was assumed '
that the judges who. were oust
ed had a hand in rendering
some decision not popular with
the new regime. ,
There , was speculation- that
there might have been some con
nection with the still hazy case
of the "nine doctors" who were
accused during Stalin's last days
of plotting to murder Russia's
top leaders and . then were ex
onerated when Georgi Malen
kov became Premier. With his
fall - from the top Soviet politi-
cal post and the appointment of
Marshal Nikolai Bulganin - as
Premier, i it was believor! the
case may have been reopened I
again. ' -; ' ." ,
Beria Ouster Less Likely
' A less likely possibility was '
that the dr astic court shakeup ,
had some connection with the
ouster, trial and execution of ,
Russia's former security chief,
Lavrenti Beria. :
It .was generally agreed here .
that the announcement indicates
some significant . shift in Soviet
Communism line.;, l . t

the six judges had been ordered '
removed by the Supreme Soviet.
