Thornton Points To Career Plan Salem (U.R) Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton said last night that public confidence in the impartiality of the attorney (general's office could be assured only if appointments were made under a career plan such as the one now in force. Thornton reviewed his admin istration as attorney general in a speech to the department of justice bar association here. ' ' He listed the main objectives of his office as providing clear and understandable ballot titles on measures voted by the people, cracking down on public welfare f faud and non:support cases, and cooperating with local and state police and prosecutors in crack- ing down on prostitution.

MAIN OPEN WEDNESDAY NITES RUBBER TILE ASPHALT TILE CORK TILE DRAPES BROADLOOM Lawyers Said Latest Dupes of Communist Party Policy Shift Washington U.R) Law yers are the latest "dupes" of a major policy shift by the Amer ican Communist party, Assist ant Attorney General -, William F. Tompkins said today. The head of the . Justice de partment's Internal Security di vision said volunteer defense of LCommunist leaders by local bar asociations is helping the party in one of its "new look" drives, the attempt to undermine the Smith act. Other New Drives Other new drives by the party include renewed efforts to in filtrate "intellectual . groups, organization of smaller but more numerous "front" groups and a campaign to gain accept ance as a legitimate American political party. . "The basic aim of the party remains - the same," Tompkins said. "That is the overthrow of the U.S. government by any means available." A number of bar associations have been "dupes" in the Com munist drive to discredit the Smith act through offering their legal services to defend so called second - string Commu nists, Tompkins said. He cited the Cleveland Bar association which took up a col lection to defend 10 Smith act defendants. Four of the defend ants recently were acquitted, while the others were onvicted.

The Smith act prohibits advo cating the overthrow of the gov ernment by force and violence. It has been the government's cliief legal weapon against Com munist leaders. "The bar associations that lend their support to' this move are themselves dupes of Commu nist party strategy. And an indi cation of the effectiveness of Communist party propaganda is the fact that many of the per sons challenging the Smith act sincerely believe they are de fending civil rights,". Thompkins said. Chest X-Ray Clinic Open Tomorrow Night The chest x-ray clinic at Sac red Heart hospital will be open between 7 and 9 p.m. to morrow as well as Thursday afternoon this week, L. O.
