SIXTEEN MEDrORD (OHECON) MAIL TRIBUNE . Thunder, August S8, 1SJ8 McKay Praised and Criticized; Boyer Declares Texas Favored Br UNITED PRESS Praise and criticism of former Interior Secretary Douglas Mc Kay highlighted the Oregon po litical scene today. Interior Secretary Fred Seat on continued a tour through western Oregon and in a speech prepared for delivery to the Eu gene Chamber of Commerce at noon said McKay made a "clean, strong imprint on the nation's business in Washington" that will endure for years. Robert Boyer and Al Ullman, Democratic candidate for Con gress from eastern Oregon, both criticized McKay, who seeks to unseat Sen. Wayne Morse (D- Ore.) this fall. Devotion Prisd Seaton appeared on television with McKay in Portland last night and praised the ex-Oregon governor's "devotion to the ob jectives and policies that have made the Eisenhower adminis tration great." In his talk prepared for deliv ery in Eugene, Seaton said the administration undertook a cru sade "to restore the confidence and faith of the American peo ple in themselves. He added. "We have justified our confi , dence in the people of this na tion. Seaton also called for both federal and private development ' of Northwest power facilities. "We cannot depend on the fed eral government alo ie. We can not depend on private capital alone, he said. Boyer, a Medford attorney. accused McKay of favoring the Texas oil industry," against the interests of Oregon and the na tion." Boytr Lists Criticisms Among his J criticisms Boyer listed "opening up federal game refuge lands to extensive oil leasing." He also listed "put ting the weight of his office! (as secretary of interior) behind the give-away of off-shore oil riches to Texas and three other coast al states." Ullman also was critical of granting of oil and gas leases on federal wildlife refuges. He charged that from Aug. 31, 1953, until Dec. 2, 1955, a total of 274 oil leases were granted on public lands and 60 of those on lands administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service without its consent. Seaton was to go to Roseburg this afternoon and to Medford tonight to continue his efforts in behalf of McKay. Specialist Agent View Alfalfa Seed More than 600 acres of al falfa seed, most of it the locally developed Talent variety, have been inspected by Earle Jossy, .county agent for agriculture, and Ernest Smith, certification spe cialist from Oregon State col lege. Jossy said the inspections were completed Tuesday after the two men spent a total of six days in the field. The prospects are for a better than average alfalfa crop this year. Growers are raising alfalfa on more than twice the number of acres of land as last year, Jossy said. In addition to the alfalfa, the inspector certified 145 acres of ladino clover, 16 acres of gran ger lotus, 14 acres of penncross bent grass, six acres of panlawn fescue, 72 acres of marion blue grass, and 19 acres of white fed eration wheat.. The Talent alfalfa seed grown in the valley will be shipped to Greece, Jossy reported. Talent alfalfa was developed at a local experiment station in this county about 10 years ago. After samples were sent to many for eign countries a good market was built up in Greece. This year's order from there is for 50 tons of seed according to the county agent. FBI Seeks Evidence' To Bring Johnny Dio To Trial for Murder New York (U.R) FBI agents sought today to obtain enough evidence to bring labor racketeer Johnny Dio to trial for the gangland murder of col umnist Victor Riesel's acid throwing assailant. U. S. Attorney Paul W. Wil liams described Dio, whose real name is John Dioguardi, as the mastermind of the plot that per manently blinded Riesel but ad mitted he lacked evidence to accuse him of murder. Williams said, however, that the FBI was still in the case and trying to get enough informa tion to connect Dio directly with the slaying of Abraham Telvi, a small-time hoodlum who al legedly blinded Riesel. Dio and four other men link ed with the plot to keep Riesel from giving information on la bor racketeering to a grand jury were arrested Tuesday night and held Wednesday in $475,000 bail. Examine Every Clue They were arraigned on the charges that they attempted to obstruct justice by plotting an attack on a grand jury witness. But maximum penalty on con viction of this charge would be only five years in . prison and $10,000 fines. The FBI was reported exam ining every clue in an effort to bring Dio to trial for murder by directly causing the death of Telvi after the hired thug had demanded more money for car rying out the plot against Riesel. If the FBI obtains enough in formation, it will be turned over to District Attorney Frank S. Hogan for his use in preparing case because the murder of Telvi is not in the federal gov ernment's jurisdiction. DA Reported Angry Hogan was reported to be an gry because his office had re ceived no information from the government in the Telvi slay ing which occurred on the lower east side of Manhattan last July 28. " Williams said Telvi sealed his own fate after he learned that Dio had double-crossed him. He resented playing the role of fall guy, Williams said ,and demand ed adequate compensation. According to information pre sented by Williams, " Dio paid Telvi $1,000 to throw acid into the face of a radio disc jockey named "Marshall," who needed punishment for being unfaithful to his wife. Telvi was reported to have carried out the assignment only to learn later that the man he blinded was Riesel. He then asked for $50,000 and pressed for payment. Dio prom ised payment in full in two weeks. At the expiration of the deadline, Telvi received his ' ward," a bullet in the back of his head. Earlier authorities had report ed Telvi was killed because he talked too much and also bore tell-tale scars from drops of sul phurous acid that splashed on him when he attacked Riesel in front of a Manhattan restaurant.
