EmspaK; (Freed by High Court, IHIas Long Communist Record By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Julius Emspak, just relieved of punish ment by the Supreme Court, has a for midable record of Com munist front activity. He is counted among the dangerous men in the American la bor movement. Emspak is general secre tary of the Lyle C. Wilson United Electri cal, Radio and Machine Workers of America which operates in op position to the CIO's anti-Communist union of similar but not identical name: The Internation al Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers. The CIO expelled Emspak's union in 1949 along with others charged to be Communist fronts or party line organizations. CIO Cleans House The Communists almost had swallowed the CIO before the f, anti-Communists among the lead - ership got the wit and muscle to throw them out. The House Un-American Activities Commit tee long had been fingering Com munist unioneers before the CIO got around to cleaning house. On Dec. 23, 1948, the commit tee cited 13 major officials of seven CIO unions as Communists and named 20 unions as Com munist controlled. Emspak and his union were on the lists. These and other aspects of his record did not count, however, when the Supreme Court de cided Emspak was not guilty of contempt in refusing to tell a congressional committee whether he was a member of the Com munist Party. The court absolved Emspak and two others of fines and prison sentences by way of the Fifth Amendment. It was Emspak and a couple of other pals who sweet-talked the late Adolph J. Sabath into sponsoring a phony win-the-peace-conference shortly after World War II ended. Sabath was Marion Sheriff To Get Casper Oveross Salem (U.R) Marion county Sheriff Denver Young and State Police Sergeant Wayne Huffman will leave Salem tonight for Fairbanks, Alaska, to return Casper Oveross, wanted here on a charge of first degree murder. Oveross, indicted by a Marion county grand jury May 16, turn ed himself over to Alaskan au thorities last Friday after his Salem attorney, Bruce Williams, informed him he had been for mally charged with the slaying of his Silverton area neighbor, Ervin Kaser, Feb. 17. Oveross must be ireed from a federal fugitive charge in Fair banks before he can be turned over to Young and Huffman, authorities said. Oveross is charged with shoot ing Kaser in his car in the drive way of Kaser's home two miles south of Silverton. "1o pacL witfo J&oe...

The conference 'he was suckered into launching ultimately was tagged as a Com munist front although newspaper publicity exposed and killed the movement at its inception. Emspak was associated, also, with the notorious American Peace Mobilization which was set up by the Communist Party in the United States during the life of the Hitler-Stalin pact. The mobilization collapsed the day Hitler invaded the Soviet Union and the mobilizers clamored in stantly for war. Basic Communist strategy re quires penetration of basic American industries. The field in which Emspak's union oper ates is not only basic, it is deli cate and sensitive in terms of na tional defense and security. In the days of the Hitler-Stalin pact, American Communists used the strike weapon savagely to check the flow of munitions to the British. The' Kremlin was root ing then for Hitler to win. The Communist Party line is to cause discord on homefront in time of peace and to help ef fect Soviet Russian foreign pol icy in time of war. That makes all labor leaders who have fol lowed the Communist Party line suspect and dangerous. Wednesday, May S3, 195S MEDfORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE fTTB Conservatives Claimed in Slight Popularity Decline Flying Finn Twins Said Fed by Force Los Angeles (U.R) Mrs Catherine L. Peter, sister of the flying Finn twins, said today she has received word from a federal official that her hung er-striking brothers have been forcibly fed at the Springfield, Mo., medical center for federal prisoners. Mrs, Peter said she was in formed of the forced-feeding in a letter from James V. Bennett, director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. She quoted Bennett's letter as saying, "They still however, are resisting the tube feeding. We hope they will desist because, of course, it involves hazard and it is not altogether impossi ble that some accident might occur. Mrs. Peter said the letter was dated May 16 and indicated the forced feeding began about May 11, two weeks ago. ar The Finns were convicted of slapping a pair of handcuffs on U. S. Attorney Laughlin Waters here in a so-called "citizens ar rest" in their fight for possession of a surplus transport plane with the government. kitchen GLAMORAMA PYREX Dinnerware In 4 Decorator Colors 16 Pc.

The Daily Express, published by former Conservative Minister Lord Beaverbrook, reported a Conservative sag of Vz of one per cent since May 18. This coin cided with Anglo-American dif ferences over the Big Four talks and a strike crisis at home. Three Per Cent Margin The newspaper poll still pre dicted a 3 per cent margin for the Conservatives which would give them a majority of "be tween 90 and 95 seats" in the House of Commons. But it was recalled in the last election the Conservatives sagged sharply just before the vote and ended up with a working majority of only 18 votes. Eden took notice of the drop when he said, "Good intentions will not win the election for us only votes can do that." vThe voting Thursday is to elect a new House of Commons. The party winning a majority of seats Labor or Conservative will name a new prime minister for five years, either Eden or Labor Leader Clement Attlee. The election also will decide whether Eden or Attlee sits down with President Eisenhower, French Premier Edgar Faure and Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin at the top-level Big Four talks this summer. Preparation for the talks and the transatlantic differences over topic and timing had become a campaign issue. The late-break- Coquille Firm Given Preliminary Permit Washington XU.R) The Fed eral Power Commission said to day it has issued a preliminary permit to the Coos-Curry Elec tric Cooperatives, Inc., of Co quille, Ore., for its proposed Bald mountain hydroelectric project. The project, to be located on the Illinois river of Josephine and Curry counties, Ore., would include a 100-foot high concrete overflow diversion dam and a 92,000-kilowatt powerhouse. A preliminary permit gives the holder a priority while conduct ing surveys but doesn't author ize any construction. As We Live By ELIZABETH HU1LOCK, PH.D. Spouse Keeps Falling For Teenage Girls Men are sometimes infatuated with teenage girls almost young enough to be their daughters. (Q) "I am in my late twenties and my husband is in his early thirties. We have been married for six years and have two chil dren. My problem is that my husband is often infatuated by teenage girls and goes through a lovesick period when he hard ly eats and is gloomy and sullen at home. Now he is in love, or thinks he is, with an 18-year-old girl who works where he does. He tells me that he doesn't want to marry her and that he could get over it if he did not see her every day at work. He has sug gested that he leave his job. Do you think this is a good solu tion to the problem? (A) it would be only a tempor ary solution, so I would not call it a good one. There is no guar- antee that there will not be another girl where he works next. Furthermore, as the father of two chil dren, he can not afford to pull up stakes and move to Dr. Herlock another job every time he falls in love with an adolescent girl. If he is lucky, he may step into another job right away that pays as well as the one he just left. But he cannot count on luck all the time, and when his luck turns against him you and the children will pay a heavy price. The only real solution to his problem lies within himself. He must realize that he married you and has two .children. His first obligation is to you three. Being lovesick and leaving jobs is cer tainly not the way to meet his responsibilities. You cannot control his thoughts. He must do that. But you can make the home such an attractive place that you can compete with any girl he falls in love with and come out the vic tor in the end.- (COPYRIGHT 1955, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) A.B.G.

Eden called for "ample time" and Mr. Eisenhower for "two or three days." The Socialists im mediately said the United States agreed to the talks only to help Eden. The Daily Herald, the La bor Party organ, asked, "Are the four-power talks going sour be fore the election?" Eden Tuesday night denied charges of "dilly dallying" as a "fantastic absurdity," but he did not comment on the Daily Her ald suggestion. Instead he at tacked disagreement within the Labor Party on the hydrogen bomb and foreign policy. Double Breasted Coats Made Into Single Breasted $18.50 Chris the Tailor 128 E.
