Case of Fasting
Finn Twins Goes
Before President
Washington iU.R) The
fasting Finn twins case was
brought to President Eisenhow
er's attention Saturday with a
request for clemency for the im
prisoned brothers.
Rep. James Roosevelt (ID
Calif.) urged Mr. Eisenhower to
exercise executive clemency. He
said he was joining Sen. Thomas
H. Kuchel (R-Calif.) in the re
quest. "I speak for many of my con
stituents who strongly feel that,
regardless of the legal correct
ness of the trial judge's verdict,
under no circumstances can the
punishment be said to fit the
crime," Roosevelt said.
Stag Hunger Strikes
The twins have staged three
hunger strikes while serving a
year's sentence for interfering
with the duties of a federal of
ficer. Their most recent fasting be
gan last month. Kuchel said he
has asked James V. Bennett, di
rector of federal prisons, to in
vestigate their condition and
report to the Justice department.
The Federal Medical Center at
Springfield, Mo., has given no
news of their condition.
The flying brothers plight
stems from a dispute with the
government over ownership of a
war surplus C-46 plane which
they bought. During the dispute
the Finns handcuffed the U. S.
attorney for Los Angeles in an
attempted "citizen's a r r e s t."
They said he had illegally de
prived them of their plane.
Handcuffed Attorney
The Finns won a civil suit for
return of the plane but received
the prison sentence for handcuf
fing the U. S. attorney.
Sen. John W. Bricker (R-O.)
already has submitted to the
Justice department documents in
the case. The twins were Air
Force 'pilots in World War II.
The Justice department has
promised to review the informa
tion. Bricker's office said that
persons who have organized in
defense of the 41-year old identi
cal brothers submitted the docu
ments to the senator.
"It did look as if they had
something that should be inquir
ed into," Bricker's office said.

her congressman to ask if the
gorernment had any advice on
how to rear a four-year-old
son.
Rep. Donald L. Jackson (R

OILMAN'S AftlLK
Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul
L. Patterson signed into law
Friday a bill to ban fish derbies
with prizes of more than $25 in
value.
House Bill 160, introduced by
Reps. Robert L. Elfstrom of Sa
lem and John Amacher of Win
chester, prohibits the large, com
mercial derbies with prizes ran
ging from television sets to auto
mobiles. It does not ban the so
called "family-size" derbies with
prizes anything from ribbons to
merchandise valued at not more
than $25.
The governor also signed Sen
ate Bill 488, which will author
ize the attorney general to name
five additional assistants to co
operate with public welfare of
ficials in investigating and prose
cuting persons accused of non
support and violation of Public
Welfare commission laws.
Also signed was a bill provid
ing a method of candidates and
party officials to obtain recounts
of election results. Under this
act the secretary of state is di
rected to have recounts upon
application, accompanied by a
bond of $10 for each precinct
recounted. The issue came up in
the close election last November
in which Richard L. Neuberger,
Portland Democrat, defeated
Guy Cordon. Roseburg Republi
can, for U. S. senator.
Comic Book Measure
Another measure signed by
Gov. Patterson will prohibit
comic book wholesalers from
forcing dealers to accept objec
tionable so-called comic books of
the sex or crime type in order
to obtain other desirable comic
books. This was the only one of
a package of comic book bills
that survived the legislature.
Others that would have banned
the sex .or crime type comics
died in house committee.
Gov. Patterson earlier vetoed
House Bill 494, a companion
measure to HB266, which would
have prohibited cities from levy
ing taxes against income, such as
the Portland business privilege
tax.
Children Around
Those Vaccinated
Said Polio Victims
Boise, Ida. U.R) A 10-year-old
Kimberly, Ida., girl who was
"closely associated" with a seven
year old sister who received
Salk vaccine, was diagnosed as
a polio case Saturday.
It was the fourth such case
reported by the Idaho Health
Department since Thursday
when Department Director L. J.
Peterson listed a 20-month old
girl in Mountain Home, a six
year old Boise boy and his four
year old sister.
Seven Other Cases
At least seven other cases of
this type have been reported
throughout the nation.
All of the Idaho children
inoculated with vaccine fur
nished by the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis re
ceived serum that was shipped
from the Cutter Laboratories in
California.
There have been 16 cases of
polio in Idaho children who have
been vaccinated. Three of these
have died.
Spokane U.R) A seven-year-old
girl who had not re
ceived the Salk anti polio vac
cine although the other three
children in her family had been
vaccinated was listed as a polio
victim Saturday.
Mild Case
She was Pamela Brown,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
M. Brown, Spokane. The case
was tentatively listed as a mild
one although Lawrence Trous
dale, administrator of St. Luke's
hospital here, said the serious
ness of the case would not be
definitely known until her fever
had passed.
The child's mother said the
other children age 8, 6, and 3
had. been vaccinated by a Spo
ane -physician April 22 and had
shown "no reaction at all" to
the shots. She said Pamela
would have had the vaccination
with the other first graders later.

Exploratory Gas
Well 'Blows In'
Payette, Ida. (U.R) An ex
ploratory gas well eight miles
cast of her blew in early Satur
day with what H. K. Riddle,
president of the Orooco Oil and
uas company, called "commer
cial quantities" of natural gas
Riddle said he tentatively
plans to drill four more wells in
Jhe immediate area of yester
day's strike and if sufficient re
serves of natural gas were found,
a pipeline could be completed to
surrounding towns by next win
ter.
However, Riddle warned that
a single well didn't mean too
much and that it was not yet
time "to throw our hats in the
air."
The new well lifted 250 feet
of pipe out of the hole before it
was plugged and Riddle said it
would take about two days to
drill through the plug and clean
the. well out.

Air Force Pilot
Declares 'Buzzing'
Was Just Routine
Ramstein, Germany (U.R)
The pilot of a U. S. jet training
plane reportedly "buzzed" by
Red-starred Communist jets over
Denmark said Saturday the
three "MIG-type" planes "mere
ly followed standard internation
al identification procedure."
No Trouble
"We didn't anticipate any
trouble from them, and they
didn't give us any," said First
Lieutenant James S. Morrison,
Reno. Nev.
"We were over the coast of
Lolland Island about ten or 15
minutes from Kastrup Airfield
on Thursday when we saw them
high on our left aproaching us
slowly. I rocked my wings to
show that we had seen them and
continued flying straight ahead.
Made Normal Turn
"They passed us at high speed
then made a normal turn in front
of us to read our number. One
passed about 50 yards from us
but was going so far we couldn't
see much of the pilot."
Morrison said that 1st Lt.
James R. Mathews, Springfield,
Colo., who was in the rear stu
dents seat of their T-33 trainer
waved at the unknown pilot as
he flashed past.
"We couldn't see whether he
waved back," Morrison said.
"All we saw was his red helmet
and the red star on the side of
the plane."
Paul Butler Raps
Administration's
Policy on Vaccine
Cleveland, O. U.R) Demo
cratic National Chairman Paul
M. Butler charged Saturday that
the Eisenhower Administration
is taking no effective action "to
assure fair distribution" of the
Salk anti-polio vaccine."
Butler said the administration
has "mishandled" the program
and that Mrs. Aveta Culp Hobby
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare, has worked out a
"haphazard distribution system
of the new discovery" with doc
tors and drug manufacturers.
Makes Stinging Attack
Butler made a stinging attack
on the Administration's health,
education, housing, conservation
and what he. called "giveaway"
programs in an address to the
Federated Democratic Women of
Ohio. He said Democrats should
not leave Mr. Eisenhower on a
"pedestal, ruling out realistic
debate of political issues when
ever It touches the Chief Execu
tive. . ."
Butler said that " thorough
government inspection in the be
ginning" could have avoided the
"confusion" in the vaccine pro
gram. "Until the safety factor
in the vaccine became a national
issue, the Federal Government
maintained a strictly 'hands off
attitude," he said.

Portland State Expansion
Plan Hits Snag on Parking
Portland U.R) Plans for
the expansion of Portland State
college have hit an unexpected
snag with the request by the
city planning commission that
off-street parking be supplied
for any additional campus buil
dings. The commission said the col
lege will not be able to depend
indefinitely on mass transit. The
commission said this would ev
entually make the college inac
cessible to large areas of the
city.
The state board of higher ed
ucation has said it will not, go
along with the planning com
mission's proposal.
The issue' will come before
the city council in a public hear
ing Wednesday, May 25, on the
state system's application to re
model two old buildings for of
fices and to construct a class
room building. The changes
would be made in the block im
