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"

he attended them.
In Washington, D. C, Lunde
berg denied the report.
"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.

Ike Warns He Will
Veto Pay Hike Over
7.5 Percent Level
Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower gave Congress im
plied warning Saturday that he
will veto any legislation that in
creases the salaries of postal
workers by more than 7.5 per
cent.
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.

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."

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.
