Oregon Political Pot Boils; Seaton
Arrives instate To Plug for McKay
By UNITED PRESS
Oregon Democrats renewed
their campaigns today with
more salvos at Republicans aft
er a visit from their party's
standard bearers. The Republi
cans continued to hit back with
a cabinet official on hand to
help.
The battle between Sen.
Wayne Morse, Democrat, and
Douglas McKay, Republican
for the U.S. Senate, was enliv
ened as Interior Secretary Fred
A. Seaton opened a two-day visit
to support McKay s campaign
after Morse got a boost from
Adlai Stevenson.
Fly To Iowa
Democratic Presidential Nom
inee Stevenson and his running
mate, Sen. Estes Kefauver, flew
to Iowa last night after a visit
of several hours in which they
urged election of Oregon and
Washington Democratic candi
dates, attacked the administra
tion's natural resources policies
and met with party officials
from five states to plan the cam
paign.
A spokesman for Stevenson
said that Morse drew the "big
gest response" at the closed
meeting with party officials by
saying the Democrats had to
carry the fight to President
Eisenhower. "Democrats must
not handle Eisenhower with kid
gloves," Morse was quoted as
saying.
Morse and Sen. Warren Mag
nuson (D.-Wash.) were co-chairmen
of the meeting.
Seaton turned down a request
from Sen. Richard Neuberger
(D.-Ore.) to debate him on the
comparative conservation issues
of Morse and McKay. "I just
don't have time for any such
debate during this tour," he said.
"After all, I'm not running for
anything and neither is he."
Supports Administration
Neuberger, speaking In As
toria today, told of supporting
the present, administration on
foreign policy 9S per cent of
the time. He contrasted this with
to the President by a certain
isolationist right wing member
! of his own party."
Neuberger said the issue of
reciprocal trade demonstrated
the fact that party lines were
blurred on many foreign policy
questions.
"Mr. Eisenhower said that the
trade treaties were at the very
heart of his foreign policy. Yet
the Oregon Legislature over
whelmingly urged us of the Ore
gon congressional delegation to
oppose the President's trade pro
gram," he said. He said that as
a state senator, Gov. Elmo Smith
opposed the trade program,
while State Sen. Robert Holmes,
Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, supported the program.
McKay cut loose last night
with a verbal barrage at Morse
in a television appearance in
Portland. He said Morse "cannot
and will not escape the moral re
sponsibility for the empty and
false charges he made concern
ing President Eisenhower and
the Al Sarena Mines." -
He criticized Morse for attack
ing the political integrity and
sincerity of the president; said
he let personal hatred for the
president motivate attempts to
undermine confidence in our for
eign policy, and made vicious
and unsupported charges con
cerning Al Sarena in an attempt
to smear the president and those
wprking with them.
Holmes spoke in St. Helens
last night and predicted a Demo
cratic victory. He called the GOP
convention in San Francisco a
rigged, slickly-managed per
formance in contrast to the
"open" Democratic convention
in Chicago.
Names Committee Head
Holmes announced today that
Roy Kilpatnck, Canyon City at
torney, would head the Grant
county Holmes-for-Governor
committee. Kilpatrick served on
the executive board of the Re
publican State Central Commit
tee from 1937 to 1946 but
changed his registration this
year, the announcement said.
Holmes also announced appoint
ment of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Thiel
of Astoria as co-chairmen for
Clatsop county, Victor Crow for
Wallowa county and Clyde H.
Snider for Malheur county.
Alleged Mastermind of Riesel
Acid Attack Placed Under Arrest
New York (U.R) The under
world empire of Johnny Dio,
one of the nation's most power
ful labor racketeers, tottered
today with his arrest on evi
dence of masterminding the acid
throwing attack which blinded
columnist Victor Riesel.

Tommy, and two other garment
district hoodlums.
The four East Side gangland
figures and a fifth conspirator

ness in the case face arraignment
before a U. S. commissioner to
day. They will be charged with
conspiring to obstruct justice in
arranging the April 5 sneak at
tack which took the labor col
umnist's eyesight.
Riesel, who is in Forest Park,
Pa., for the AFL-CIO executive
Council meeting, said only that
he "was glad the FBI has made
the arrests." He said he did not
wish to presently say anything
more because he expected to be
"the 27 per cent support given called before a grand jury.
U.S. Attorney Paul W. Wil
liams, whp has paraded a host
of secret underworld witnesses
before two federal grand juries
investigating the Riesel case and
racketeering in the fur and gar
ment industries, declared Tues
day night:
"Johnny Dio, among others,
was the man who directed, insti
gated and arranged the payoff
to (Abraham) Telvi in the acid
attack on Victor Riesel. This is
in direct relation to Riesel's
planned testimony about labor
racketeering before the federal
grand jury."
Telvi was murdered on the
lower East Side July 28. The FBI
accused the small time thug of
hurling the acid into Riesel's
face when he walked out of a
Broadway restaurant.
The underworld braintrust ac
cused of planning the ambush at
tack were identified as:
John (Johnny Dio) Dioguardia,
42 . . . described by a New York
district attorney as "one of the
most powerful underworld fig
ures in the field of labor."

Miranti contacted Bando, and
Bando through Joseph (Pilo)
Carlino hired Telvi to do the

The FBI said Telvi made the
attack against Biesel and clum

on his own face, making him
"too hot" for the conspirators.
Government agents Vearlier
charged that Telvi was murdered
soon after his return to New

and Miranti to make certain that
Telvi was not taken to a doctor
for medical attention.
