Case ol! Aberdeen (GO Creates

! Br A. ROBERT SMITH
'; Mail Tribun Correspondent
Washington (Special) The
ease o the Aberdeen, Wash.,
corporal who has been threaten
ed by the Army with an undesir
able discharge unless he can
prove his father is innocent of
charges of Communist connec
tions has had the Eisenhower ad
ministration scurrying all week
to find out how this happened.
Rep. Don Magnuson (D-Wash.),
who explained the case to the
House and called for an investi
gation of it, had hardly sat down
when a general from the Penta
gon showed up at his office to
get the background of the case.
He had been dispatched to the
scene by Assistant Secretary of
Defenst Hugh Milton.
The White House had earlier
received a letter detailing the
case of Corp. Walter William
Kulich from his attorney, Paul
O. Manley, an Aberdeen Re
publican. Sherman Adams, as
sistant to President Eisenhower,
put two top defense officials on
it.
What administration officials
learned was that shortly after
Kulich had been given an honor
able discharge last Jan. 6, af
ter two years active duty, he was
informed by the Army that cer
tain allegations were on file with
the Departmen of the Army that
his father was a member of the
Communist party, had attended
meetings and received travel ex
pense money from the party to
go to the United Nations in New
York.
The Army told the 22 year
old veteran he would be com
pelled, as a consequence, to ac
cept an undesirable discharge
or request a hearing in which to
prove the allegations to be false.
A copy of the proper form for
requesting an undesirable dis
charge was enclosed. -
Kulich's attorney said the boy
and the father deny the charges.
He said Army officers at Fort
Lewis told Kulich they could not
divulge the nature of the infor
mation being used against his
father, but that it would be his
responsibility to prove his fa
ther's innocence nevertheless.
"No charges have been filed
against the father by way of
criminal proceedings or other
wise," Kulich's lawyer wrote Ei
senhower. "In view of the fact
that we have stringent laws con
cerning individuals engaging in
subversive activities, it seems al
most incredible that the author
ities are concentrating their ener
gy in efforts to smear the son
with an unedsirable discharge
rather than attempt to substan
tiate their charges against the
father."
The Army said it had no other
choice under the Eisenhower ad
ministration's personnel security
program.
"Is this American justice?"
asked Congressman Magnuson.
"Since when does an American
citizen have to prove his inno
cence? I had thought it was up
to the accuser to prove guilt."
The administration has con
tended it must protect its sour
ces of information by shielding
accusers, instead of permitting
them to be confronted by the ac
cused.
"Since when do we condemn
a man because of what his father
or any other relative or any
other person has done?" asked
Magnuson. "I had thought that
in our free land guilt was indivi
dual and innocence was indivi
dual, and that we did not punish
a man or tarnish his reputation
because of what an ncestor might
have done."
Three other West Coast con
gressmen have joined Magnuson
in presenting the action taken
against Kulich; Reps. Mack and
Pelly, Washington state Republi
cans, and Rep. Miller, California
Democrat.

Washington (U.R! Chairman
Clinton P. Anderson of the con
gressional atomic energy com
mittee said Saturday this sum
mer's atomic energy conference
in Geneva may well blow off
some secrecy lids and boom the
peaceful uses of the atom.
The New Mexico Democrat
made the statement in an inter
view in which he discussed the
United Nations' atomic confer
ence in August. He predicted it
will be "the turning point in
the peacetime applications of
atomic energy."
Anderson foresaw a hard
struggle between the United
States and Russia for supremacy
in the fledgling atomic energy
industry and for the favor of the
82 other nations which have
been invited to the conference.
The other nations, he said,
"will say we know you can
make a bomb, but what can you
do to help us in the things that
count'?"
"The United States, and the
Russians too, will be doing
their best-to provide answers to
that question. It could be like a
poker game in which no one is
willing to put up any money.
But I believe it will be wide
open," Anderson said.
The atomic energy commis
sion has indicated it plans no
general, wholesale declassifica
tion of material for the confer
ence. But Anderson said that,
once the conference is under
way, both sides may well want
ELLIS -MARKER;

820 Crater Lake Avenue
to declassify more material than
they now anticipate.
"It may well blow the lid off
the whole business," he said.
"We certainly are going to try
to show the world what can be
accomplished with this great
new tool, by building an atomic
reactor there (at Geneva) and by
talking about the merchant ship
which will be already under
construction. (President Eisen
hower has asked congress to au
thorize an atomic-powered mer
chant ship which would tour the
world to demonstrate peaceful
uses of the atom.)
"Maybe the Russians will of
fer a few surprises. They have
certainly been enthusiastic
about it (the conference). We
have Jalked about how we had
the first bomb, the first subma
rine and now the first merchant
ship. I'm sure the Russians will
turn up with something per
haps a little power plant that you
can put over in the corner to
run forever."

Railroad Men Hopeful
Of Eased Restrictions
Portland (U.PJ John P.
Kiley, of Chicago, president of
Chicago, Milwaukie, St. Paul
and Pacific Railroad, said Fri
day night that railroads are
hopeful of overcoming federal
restrictions that handicap them
in competing against trucking
firms.
Kiley, formerly ot Seattle,
said recommendations of an Eis
enhower administration commit
tee on more flexible rate poli
cies would permit operators to
adjust rates between minimums
and maximumus set by the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
This latitude, he said, would
eliminate some of the handicaps
with which railroads now are
faced.

Job Opportunities .
Pay Hit New High1
For College Grads
Chicago (U.R) Job oppor
tunities and' starting salaries for
the June college graduate are
hitting an all-time record high,
a nation-wide survey showed
Saturday.
The annual rush of business
and industry to sign up the grads
is on, with representatives al
ready flooding the campuses to
interview applicants.
Starting Salaries Up
This year starting , salary of
fers are up about five to seven
per cent over last year for a
new record, and job opportuni
ties were described by college
placement officials as the best
ever.
Engineering grads were the
choicest plums, with industry of
fering them $350 to $500 a
month to start. The general aver
age was about $400, a new re
cord. Job openings also were the
best for engineering students. At
Purdue university, the demand
was reported up 20 per cent over
last year, with five jobs avail
able for every graduate.
At Purdue a total of 900 firms
bid for engineering grads, while
at Columbia a record 260 firms
competed for only 200 available
graduates.
Peak of $500
At Georgia Tech, the oil,
chemical and aircraft industries
were reported bidding the high
est, with offers ranging up to
$475 a month. A peak of $500 a
month was reported at George
Washington university.
The busy industry represent
atives were resorting to new
"gimmicks" to induce the grad
uate to sign up with them.
Some firms were reported ma
king "step" offers instead of a
flat starting salary. The "steps"
involve higher salary brackets
for married students, veterans,
or those with outstanding schol
astic records.
Morse Raps; Partneilp Plan
As Mis CacuvoBu SmraoEce Screen
Corvallis (U.R) Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.) has charged that
a partnership proposal for Cou
gar and Green Peter dams in Ore
gon is a "smoke screen" for those
who are afraid to support the
high Hells Canyon dam.
Morse, who arrived in Port
land from Washington Friday on
a "reporting and checking" trip,
spoke at a Democratic dinner-at
the Corvallis Hotel.
He said it was "a curious
thing" that a revival of partner
ship plans for the two dams came
the same week the Hells Canyon
bill was introduced in the Sen
ate and House.
The Oregon Democrat said
that while Green Peter and Cou
gar, on the Willamette and San
tiam rivers, were essential to
flood control in the Willamette
basin, they were "a drop in the
bucket" as far as power was con
cerned. But he charged that the part
nership bill introduced by Rep.
Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore.) was
"an invitation to delay" contain
ing "more 'ors,' 'ifs,' 'ands' and
tuts' than an unprepared high
school student's recitation."
Morse said the Public Works

of $2,000.

Sinatra Files Suit
Against Producers
New York (U.R) Frank
Sinatra has filed suit against
the producers of "On the Water
front" for $500,000, charging
they backed out of an agreement
to give him the starring role for
which Marlon Brando won the
Academy award, it was disclosed
Saturday.
The suit came to light when
the produecrs announced they
would appeal a court decision
refusing to dismiss the complaint
filed by the crooner who has
turned to dramatic roles in re
cent months.
Committee, of which he was a
member, last year authorized
funds .for power generators at
Cougar and Green Peter sites,
although both projects were orig
inally authorized by Congress as
flood control dams.
Raps Hatfield . " ' ... .
Morse, in an aside, remarked
that State Sen. Mark Hatfield
"ought to plug the holes in his
hat" if he believes the Demo
crats have half a million dollars
to assure Morse's election in
1956.
He said Hatfield's claim, made
Thursday night in Lebanon, had
no basis in fact However, Morse
said he was confident that 'the
people of Oregon would retain
him in his Senate post. v
Earlier, in Portland, Morse at
tacked the delay by Republicans
in appointing another federal
Judge for Oregon. He said "Re
publican patronage dispensers'
couldn't agree on a'choice.
