Oveross Defense
In Second Day;
Chemist Testifies
Salem 01.10 The defense
of Casper A. Qyeross against
charges he snot to deatn nis su-verton-area
neighbor, Ervin Ka
ser, entered its second day to
day. The state rested its case
yesterday morning.
Yesterday, B. Nealley Wood,
Portland chemist, was permitted
to testify over prosecution ob
jections that in his experience
as a chemist and corrosion ex
pert the Winchester 30-30 rifle
taken from the Pudding river
May 8 had not been in the water
since February.
The state alleges the weapon
was used in the Feb. 17 shoot
ing. It was found by three boys
and fished from the water.
Another witness called by the
defense was Mrs. Ethel Oveross,
estranged wife of Casper A.
Oveross, who had previously
been called by the prosecution
She testified that early on the
night of Feb. 17, a car which she
was positive did not belong to
Oveross and with two men in it
had followed the car in which
she and Kaser were riding until
they ditched it by pulling off
onto a side road.
Several witnesses were called
by the defense to testify that
Oveross was not seen around the
Silverton area since April 18
or 17 when he told several rela
tives he was going to Alaska to
look for work.
Sheriff Denver Young, who
picked up Oveross in Alaska on
May 28 after he had given him
self up to territorial authorities,
testified that Oveross told him
he had arrived in Alaska about
a month before May 26. Young
said he had not checked Over
oss' arrival time , with customs
officials in Canada or Alaska.
' Defense attorneys then asked
that the court be recessed while
they attempted to subpoena the
entry records designed to show
that Oveross entered the terri
tory openly and signed his own
'name. The defense claims he
signed his own 'name after driv
ing the Alcan highway on April
27.

Harriman Among
Demos Determined
GOPVon'tSucceed
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington U.B The
mighty Republican effort to
break the Negro vote away from
allegiance to
the memory of
FDR is begin
ning to make
some signifi
cant political
news.
Stakes are
big and both
sides know it.
Gov. Averell
Harriman of
LyU C. Wlkwa New York is
among those Democrats who are
determined the Republicans
' shall not succeed. Witness his ap
pointment last week of a Negro
to the state court
Justice Harold A. Stevens be
came the first member of his
race to reach that high bench.
President Eisenhower topped
that notable first this week by
adding a Negro to his official
White House family.
Everett Frederick Morrow of
New Jersey was sworn Monday
as an administrative officer in
the President's executive office.
That is the top drawer of White
House service where no Negro
has lodged before, not even in
Roosevelt and Truman adminis
trations, during both of which
the equal rights issue was kept
going at forced draft.
Presidential Campaign Adviser
Morrow came to the White
House from the office of Secre
tary of Commerce Sinclair
Weeks. He was an adviser in Mr.
Eisenhower's 1952 presidential
campaign and, doubtless, will be
a widely circulated speaker in
the campaign of 19S8. What Mor
row will tell Negro voters next
year will be about what he said
Monday on taking the oath of of
fice:
"This singular occasion offers
eloquent testimony to. the com
plete sincerity and faith ox Presi
dent Eisenhower's belief in the
right of any loyal American in
this land to rise as far as his
ability, character and ambition
will carry him."
Counteroffensive Hampered .
That s good campaign stuff.
just as it -is. The Democratic
counter-offensive to the Repub
lican raid is hampered, of course,
by those Southern partymen and
women who resist the current
trend toward racial equality. Mr.
Eisenhower may be just as much
of an equal rights man as, for ex
ample, Adlai E. Stevenson. But
the President wouldn't lose much
by it in an election whereas
Stevenson would in some areas.
The ' Eisenhower administra
tion is not making one spectacu
lar appointment and stopping
there. The office of register of
the Treasury usually went to a
Republican Negro between 1881
and 1913. That trend ended with
the Democratic Wilson adminis
tration and was not resumed un
til September, 1953, when Mr.
Eisenhower named a Negro to
the post, Louis B. Toomer.. of
Atlanta, Ga.
Real and Earnest
The play for the Negro vote
is real and in earnest. Vice Pres
ident Richard M. Nixon recently
broke an engagement to address
a Negro group in Atlantic City.
He outlined a four point pro
gram of objectives for Negroes:
1. Equality of employment op
portunity.
2. Better housing for Negroes.
3. Removal of the last, small
vestige of racial discrimination
in the District of Columbia.
4. Completion of the school in
tegration program .
Teddy Lunched Educator
The Negro has come into his
own, politically. You must go
oack more -than SO years to
match the significance of Mor
row's addition to the White
House official family.' On Oct.
18, 1901, President Theodore
Roosevelt had for a lunch guest
Booker T. Washington, the great
Negro educator. Historian Mark
Sullivan called it "the most talk
ed of lunch eaten in the United
States."
The urgency of the inter-party
contest for -the political affec
tions of Negro voters is not dif
ficult to understand. There are
many of them. For example, the
1950 Negro population of Cali
fornia was 462,000; Illinois, 645,-
000; Indiana, 174,000; Michigan
442,000; New Jersey 318,000:
New York 918,000; Ohio 513,000
and Pennsylvania 638,000.

culture Department said today

work on farms' during the week
of June 19-25.

bers of their families and 2,500,

about normal for the season.

a year earlier for the country as

Korean Girls Banned
From Army Clubs in
Order by General
Stevenson Released
From Illinois Hospital
Lake Forest, HI. (U.R) Ad
lai E. Stevenson has been releas
ed from Lake Forest Hospital
after a four-day siege of bron
chial pneumonia.
Hospital officials said Steven
son's condition was never seri
ous. The 1952 Democratic presi

Libert yville, 111., home yester

WRONG GUESS .
Warwick, R. I. (U.R) Thirty
one high school students from
Bradenton, Fla., looked forward
especially to seeing some snow
while visiting Rhode Island. The
weather was fine when they
arrived. But snow fell in Florida.
Seoul, Korea (U.R) Hundreds
of U. S. Army officers were un
happy today over a three-star
general's order to keep their
Korean girl friends out of Army
clubs.
Thousands of enlisted men
feared thev were next in line
for a similar ban.
The verbal order was handed
down in a staff meeting several
days ago by Lt. Gen. John H.
Collier, the Army's top com
mander in Korea.
Collier told his officers they
had until the end of the month
to stop bringing their Korean
girls into Army clubs. In fact.
he discouraged officers, from be
ing seen at all with Korean girls.
Order Unpopular
The order by Collier who
slapped a similar ban on frater
nization when he was U. S. com
mander in Stuttgart, Germany
was not very popular. .
However, when an Army
spokesman was asked about the
ban, he replied that "It is simply
the general's wish to eliminate
an undesirable situation."
Further, the spokesman said,
Collier "is just trying to have
the officers set an example."
But Brig. Gen. .Mercer Wal
ter, head of the U. S. Army's
Korean Civil Assistance Com
mand, said his officers could
continue to bring their girls into
KCAC clubs, where business is
booming along.
About the only officers in
favor of Collier's ban were
chaplains.
"It doesn't look good," one
said, "to see our top officers
married men, -even colonels
going around openly with these
women."
Enlisted Men Seen Next
"Collier is absolutely right,"
another chaplain said. "After
all, most of these women who
come to the clubs are just out-and-out
prostitutes."
It was generally believed that
as soon as the ban takes full

effect, CoUier will tell his -officers
to start enforcing the same

"The enlisted men cry so
much about the differences in
privileges," one major said, "that
you couldn't very well tell them

One of the reasons why long distance calls cost so little these days,
is this: Telephone people have a way of putting a number of calls
up to sixteen, in fact over a single pah' of wires at the same time.
(Large cables can carry hundreds of calls simultaneously.) And each
voice is distinct and separate when heard at the other end. In this
way, one pair of wires does the work of many. The technical nam
for this is the "Carrier System". And you can see how important it
is. For, without it, hundreds of thousands of miles of extra telephone
lines would be needed. Savings like this have been of real help
to us as we work to hold down the cost of your telephone service.
