Roy Cohn Raps 'Egghead Editors' Syracuse, N. Y. (U.R) Roy Cohn charged in i a Flag Day speech last night that the "egg head element" of the press had joined in a "deliberate policy of silence" about Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.). Cohn, former counsel to the Senate Investigating Committee when McCarthy was chairman, was a speaker at American Le gion sponsored Flag Day cere monies.

"Newspapers espouse every egghead cause they can find and when it comes to real issues turn on a stony silence or treat them with slanted reporting. We are entitled to the facts and straight reporting, not what some egg headed editor has to say." Cohn claimed the press made much of McCarthy's income tax troubles. He said front pages were full of accusation but when the truth came out that the senator had overpayed his tax "I saw no editorial apologies or front page stories." SWIM BUSINESS LAGS Portland (U.R) Forty-five Portland parks and swimming pools opened here yesterday for the summer season. But there wasn't enough summer around to attract much business.

Ike's Reelection Seen by Speaker Portland (U.R) A Coloradb senator predicted here last night that President Eisenhower would seek reelection next year and would be reelected. But Sen. Gordon Allott, a Re publican, said he was not certain about the Republicans regaining control of the Senate. Allott, here to address the Northwest Institute of Interna tional Relations, also criticized the speech of former President Harry Truman here last Satur day night. He said, "Mr. Truman said if the administration continues its present policies, the future de velopment of our river resources will be irretrievably lost to us. "What Mr. Truman did not tell you was that when he left Wash ington the reclamation cupboard was bare, or nearly so. In spite of all the conversation that now comes forth there were no feas ible projects engineered except the Missouri valley development in the bureau ready for consid eration by the appropriate com mittees of Congress."

Gov. Paul L. Patterson said before he would approve mak ing application for the funds he would want to know if by doing so the state would take funds needed for hospitals, in Oregon cities and counties. Gov. Patterson said he also wanted to be certain that should the state accept a federal grant that there would be.no restric tions or provisions required by the government that would add to the cost of the building.
