Russian Newsmen Say Their Versions Better Washington (U.R) Visiting Russian newsmen came up with a "familiar Soviet conclusion Friday after comparing U. S. Soviet movies on atomic energy and Washington-Moscow collec tions of Rembrandt paintings. The Russian versions of both, they said, are better. The newsmen, here for a four day visit, also resorted to a familiar Soviet technique of 'registering displeasure. At the State department showing of U. S. films on peaceful uses of atomic energy, the journalists walked out, branding the mo vies "old hat." The head of the group, Eoris N. Kampov Polevoy, went to sleep and snored shortly after the movies began. Previous Russion delegations visiting the United States, the housing and farm groups, showed no such discourtesy. The newsmen yesterday toured the Capitol and visited George Washington's Mount Vernon plantation. PULLED FROM WORK Nashville. Tenn.

Wolf Examined By Two Psychiatrists Portland U.R Victor Lau rence Wolf, confessed bomb- slayer of Portland attorney Oliver Kermit Smith, was ex amined by two psychiatrists in the Multnomah county jail here Friday. The sanity test was ordered by Circuit Judge James W. Craw ford, who said a report of the test would be released before Thanksgiving day. Drs. Herman Dickel and John Evans said they would attempt to determine if the 45-year-old electrician is sane now. and whether he was sane at the time he rigged a dynamite bomb that exploded as Smith started his car last April 21. Addilional Exams The psychiatrists said they were closeted with Wolf for about an hour Friday. They said they would probably make additional examinations before reaching any conclusions. Wolf is scheduled to appear before Judge Crawford Dec. 5 for sentencing for the slaying His attorneys have indicated Wolf's plea of guilty would be withdrawn if he was deemed insane, and a pertinent plea sub stituted. Wolf named Smith's widow. Marjorie, as an accomplice im mediately after the slaying, but Mrs. Smith was acquitted in a jury trial. Withers Says Wool Subsidies To Remain Portland -(U.R) Oregon wool growers were told Friday they might just as well become recon ciled to government subsidies because they will be here for some time to come "whether we like it or not." John Withers of Paisley, pres ident of the Oregon Wool Grow ers association, gave this advice to delegates to the group's an nual convention. Withers said sheepmen, al ways rugged individualists, had been reluctant to accept change. But he warned that "We must face facts and accept conditions as the rule and not as the ex ception." "Unless we can get adequate protection for our domestic mar kets I don't think there is a man in this room who will live long enough to see anything but a subsidized agriculture, whether we like it or not," 'Withers said. The Oregon sheepman said the national wool act was a good program and given time to op erate, will achieve its objectives.
