Multnomah Jury
To Hear Corruption
Testimony on May 7
Portland OI.R) Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton said
today the grand jury convening
May 7 would hear testimony on
charges of graft and corruption
made by the Oregonian In a se
ries of copyrighted articles.
Thornton arrived here yester
day with Francis Wade, who will
assist him in the investigation.
He was ordered into the probe
by Gov. Elmo Smith.
Subpoenas Served
A second set of subpoenas was
served yesterday but Thornton
said later a third group, super
seding all others, would be
served for the new grand jury
Investigation date of May 7.
"I don't want anybody hiding
out. We're going to get everybody
in here and we're going to the
bottom," Thornton said.
Thornton said he needed time
for "proper organization." "You
just can't dump it on the grand
jury like a carload of wheat and
expect them to separate it from
the chaff," he said.
Thornton, before leaving Sa
lem yesterday afternoon, also
answered a warning from Gov.
Smith not to bring partisan pol
itics into the investigation. The
governor had told Thornton that
if the investigation was preju
diced by partisan politics or used
as a medium of political propa
ganda "I am prepared to call a
special session of the Legisla
ture to authorize the appointment
of a special prosecutor."
Thornton said in a letter to
the governor "It seems to me
that by your public statement
you have already brought parti
san politics into this investiga
tion." Thornton is a Democrat; Smith
Republican.

Stevenson Urges
Attention for
Segregation Order

been "aggravated to a white
heat" which could have been
prevented had the administration

preme Court decision assumed
and required."

sion on segregation in the public
schools must be complied with,"
the Democratic presidential con
tender said in a speech prepared

Conference of tha United Auto

Taft-Hartley provisions restrict
ing -"union security" contracts,
allowing state "right-to-work"
laws and enforcing other curbs,
either by amending the law or
repealing and rewriting it.

shaking and chats with political

vention votes.

fornia congressmen to discuss
his crucial June 5 primary con
test with Kefauver in their state.
