Game 'Authorities Watch as Farmer With Permit Kills 15 Deer To Protect Pasture Forest Grove (U.R) A furmer and his son shot and kill ed 15 deer on their farm 12 miles southwest of here Friday while game authorities watched. Lester Lee. 58, and Everett Lee, 31, said the deer were dam aging pasture for their 100 head of cattle which run on the 1200 acre ranch. Special "kill" permits for tak ing of 30 deer have neen issued by the game commission to the Lees who said that if the deer Red Probers May Return to Seattle, Chairman States Seattle (U.R) The chairman of a House Un-American Activi ties Subcommittee which this week investigated Communist activities in the Pacific North west sad Saturday his group may return to Seattle later this year lor yet another hearing. Rep. Morgan M. Moulder CD Mo.) said his subcommittee may return here, possibly in June, after it completes hearings in Los Angeles. Expanded Testimony The chief witness at the cur rent hearings here, Eugene V. Dennett, Seattle steelworker and an admitted former Commu nist, took the stand again Satur day to expand and clarify his testimony concerning Harry Lundeberg, chief of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific. Dennett said Lundeberg was a "bitter anti-Communist" but had been asked to sit in on "top fraction meetings" of the Com munist party because the Com munists had high respect for Lundebergs position and influ ence. At Washington, D. C, Lunde berg denied that he had ever sat in on any party meetings. Backs Hartle Testimony The committee asked Dennett what he thought about the testi mony of Mrs. Barbara Hartle last June. The steelworker said he thought her testimony was valid and competent testimony. Dennett, who knits socks while not at the witness table, testi fied at length Friday and said the Communist party gained con trol of the Washington Common wealth Federation in the 1930's and thus exercised influence over "one third" of the state's Democratic voters. He said the party had about 5,500 members in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska at one time. Dennett told the committee he personally had not seen Lunde berg at a meeting but he "knew" ' f 7 If jffl' NORTHWEST PROBE Eu gene V.

"You can tell them (the com mittee members) for me that I never sat in on any fractional meetings of the Commies in the past and I never will in the fu ture," he said. 20-Minute-Old Child Stolen From Hospital in Beaumont Beaumont.

The administration has recom mended pay raises of about 6.5 per cent for 500,000 postal work ers, at a cost of about $120,000, 000 a year. A bill up for floor action in the House Monday would in crease postal pay by 7.5 per cent, at a cost of about $150,000,000. Postal worker unions and some congressmen have been urging a 10 per cent boost that is esti mated to cost about $175,000,- 000. In a letter to Chairman Tom Murray (D-Tenn.) of the House Post Office Committee which is sponsoring the 7.5 per cent raise, Mr. Eisenhower indicated he would go along with that figure although he would not be too happy about it. But he said that "in fairness to you and your colleagues I must make it clear that any additional increases would give me the gravest apprehension." That is about as close as a President ever comes to a veto warning. mont Baptist hospital Saturday. An unidentified woman dressed in white nylon uniform of a nurse took the six-pound, 10-ounce baby out of the hospital nursery soon after it was brought from the delivery room. Mother Not Told The mother, Mrs. George W. Wharton, wife of a Nagnolia re finery employe, was not told im mediately that her baby was missing. A nurse took the baby from the delivery room shortly after it was born at 12:46 p. m. She placed it in a basinette near the door of the nursery. Just then a woman dressed as a nurse and carrying a surgical mask. in her hand told the nurse she was wanted in the front office. Woman Disappears The nurse arrived t the busi ness office and when business manager Guy Dalrymple told her she hadn't been sent for, the nurse called the nursery and asked if the woman was there. Both she and the baby had dis appeared. Dalrymple said the woman, described as a dark-complexioned brunette about 30 years old, evidently grabbed the nearest baby, which was the Wharton child, and walked out.

Everett Lee estimated 300 to 400 deer were grazing on their property. The deer carcasses were taken in a pickup for transfer to state institutions. Game Agent Mel Cummings said the deer came from higher coastal ranges including parts of the Tillamook Burn. Lee said they were following steps outlined by their attorney. Paul Reeder. assistant district attorney for Washington county. The Lees invited game authori ties to watch the shooting which started at 9:30 a.m. Cummir.gs. two commission herders, and state police game officers Loren Parcher and Gerald Cochran were on hand. The commission hoped the deer would be driven off before the kill continued much longer. "We don't like this slaughter ing," Lee said. Army Prisoners Held In Jail at Yreka Yreka, Calif. (U.R) Fifteen Army prisoners from Fort Lewis, Wash., were temporary guests of the Siskiyou county jail Friday night after a chartered DC-3 transporting them from Tacoma to Lompoc, Calif., was forced down near here. The chartered transport, oper ated by General Airways Inc., Portland. Ore., developed engine trouble and landed at a small dirt airstrip about 15 miles from here. In addition to the prisoners, the plane carried six Army guards and three crewmen. Communist Leader Stresses Need tor Corn Production Moscow (U.R) Nikita S. Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Communist party, stressed the necessity for increased pro duction of corn at this week's agricultural conference for the southeast regions of the Russian Federative Republic, Pravda re ported Saturday. The official Communist party newspaper carried a lengthy ac count of the conference, -ilmost half of which was devoted to the speech made by Khruschchev Friday. Link to Solution According to Pravda, Khrush chev said "the chief link to the solution of the problem of in crease in grain production, and especially to fodder grain for the needs of cattlebreeding, is, in my opinion, corn." Khrushchev said the require ments of the program on stock raising could be completely sat isfied without corn but would require "very much time and funds." The same results, he add ed, could be achieved quicker and cheaper by paying "special attention" to corn. Wants Corn Rotation And, he said, that corn "really is the most non-labor consuming crop." Khrushchev said that Soviet agriculture science should pro vide the proper crop rotation system for the vast steppes and arid areas where present svs tems have proved unsuitable. But, he said, "Soviet scientists have adopted the incomprehen sible position of marking time." Sunday, March 20, 19SS MEDFORD (OREGON! MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN (Bill To EKlike Pay off Oregon's Legislators IBaclk to Committee By BILL FORCE United Press Staff Correspondent Salem (U.R) ' A resolution to raise the pay of state legisla tors was back in committee for revision Saturday after being passed out with a favorable rec ommendation by the House State and Federal Affairs Committee. The committee voted at a later meeting to call the pay raise resolution back to place a limit on the expense allowances it would grant. Committee member George Layman (R-Newberg) said it was that lack of a limitation which killed an attempt in 1953 to raise the pay legislators receive. All 90 members now receive a token payment of $600 a year. The resolution introduced by Rep. R. F. Chapman (D-Coos Bay) would raise that to $1200 a year. Coroner Issue Hot The House Friday over whelmed the opposition of 20 members to approve a resolution that would submit to the voters the proposition that the offices of county coroner and county: surveyor be stricken from the state constitution. By denying the two offices constitutional privilege, they would become subject to legisla tive control and the Legislature could set up qualifications for the office holders. Rep. Layman led the opponents of the measure who believed that all county officers should be taken out of the constitution or they should all be left in. Lay man said he objected to piece meal amendment of the constitu tion. Rep. Pat Dooley (D-Portland) said the offices of coroner and surveyor were the only ones in which qualifications peculiar to the jobs should be required of candidates. The resolution now goes to the Senate. Flax Board Out Other bills which gained ap proval in an afternoon session of the House would abolish the State Flax and Linen Board, re quire alarm boxes for safety of persons locked inside refriger ated locker plants, and require natural gas and pipeline com panies to obtain certificates of public convenience and necessity before supplying gas to commun ities already served by a public utility. The State and Federal Affairs Committee tabled by a margin of one vote a bill that would have substituted the doctrine of com parative negligence in Oregon law for one of contributory neg ligence. Slated for further action was a bill introduced by Rep. Ben An derson (D-Portland), to remove the limit from claims for dam ages for wrongful death. Oregon law now limits such damage claims to $20,000 but imposses no limits on the amounts injured persons may collect from guilty parties. The bill was held for an amendment which would re strict death claim payments to the amount of earnings lost to the survivors of the deceased through loss of his life. The House held its first Satur day e e t i n g of the session but was slated to consider only four bills. The Senate had 15 measures up for consideration. Medical Bill Tabled Purpose of the Saturday ses sions, held by both houses, was to get committees to working on Saturdays in an effort to shorten the 1955 session. ' The Senate Education Commit tee tabled a bill which would , a , ii nave created an advisory com-1 mittee from the Oregon Medical Society to the University of Ore gon medical school in Portland. Objections to the measure had been voiced on grounds that the State Board of Higher Education should be the sole agency to con duct affairs of higher education, of which the medical school is a part. The vote to table the bill, which means it is killed for at least this session was 5 to 2. The Navy's attack aircraft carrier USS Midway was visited by more than 23,000 South Afri cans recently in Capetown, South Africa.
