Report on Election Practices in Portland Declared Inaccurate Ptland (U.R) A U.S. Sen ate subcommittee report on elec tions which cast some doubt about the legality of certain practices employed here during the last general election has been labeled as "inaccurate in two very important particulars." Gordon Orput, Portland busi ness man, and E. B. MacNaugh ton, chairman of the board of the action taken by several firms as "spontaneous" and "unsolic ited" by the Republican party or ganization. The committee report said the First National bank and several other corporations "may have" violated a federal law by allow ing the use of their mailing facil ties for a Republican check on Democratic registration prior to the last election. "The Republican organization did not solicit me, nor to the best Obf my knowledge anyone else. to send out letters for the pur pose of checking accuracy of Democratic registrations," Orput asserted. MacNaughton said he had determined that the action taken by his firm was taken innocently- Orput added that the mailing of letters to registered Demo crats was taken informally and voluntarily and were not made for any partisan political pur pose but rather "to find out the truth of widely circulated stories of false and fraudulent registra tions." "I have never regarded honest citizenship as a partisan issue. But the Democratic organiza tion had objected so violently to the signing of the poll books and other checks on validity of registration that I wondered if there was a reason for them to be worried," he said.

February 5. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Preu Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) If and when Elvis .Presley becomes' a soldier, he'll get a crewcut like any other GI, and r u m o rs he'll fight to to keep his sideburns, he says indignat ly, are "mean er 'n a hound dawg." "P e o p le have been maKin s u c n AUn Mosby a big to-do about my keepin' my hair," groaned Elvis while he treated me to lunch at the Paramount commissary. "I'm going into that service and have the rest of the boys in short hair and me in long hair. All GIs get crew cuts and I'm not askin' them to keep my hair. "I'm going into that service and do the best I can," he add ed. "If they want me to sing for the boys, I'll sing. Anything they want me to do is all right." Elvis looked disgusted when I inquired if he's keeping his side burns and droopy ducktail for his second movie, "Loving You," a modern story about a rock 'n roll singer which he's doing for producer Hal Wallis. "My hair is my trademark," he explained carefully. "I never meant to offend anyone with it." When Elvis joins the Army depends on when his draft board needs a draftee. "It might be next month, next l year, or never, he said. "I don t mind going.'.' Although Elvis fumes when people rib him about his hair do, he doesn't give a guitar string for the countless gags about him on television or for the many Presley satirists. Everybody from Jerry Lewis to a local striptease dancer does Presley imitations. Last week NBC's "Kraft Theater" told a tragic story about a rock 'n roll singer with sideburns and , a guitar. "Imitations are great they make me feel good," said Elvis. If someone does a take-off on you it's good for you." Savings Deptsftsf IAaL f the VIM by the month 1 earn from the of the month at . , .

I can detect the signs." Washington Alfred Lilienthal, counsel to the Committee for Security and Justice in the Middle East, charging that a weakness of the Eisenhower Doctrine is that force can only be used in "in stances of Communist aggression": "So long as one million Arab refugees remain homeless, so long as the Holy City of Jerusalem is severed by barbed wire, and so long as Israel continues to flout existing resolutions of the United Nations, there will be new Suezes and more bloodshed."

Washington Rep. Emanuel Celler (D.-N.Y.) chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on civil rights bills, supporting a self-sponsored bill that goes beyond the administration's civil rights proposals: "Just as we can't hold back the hands of history, we can't hold back the idea that one color is as good as another." Washington Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn reluctantly agreeing to delay a vote on the Democratic grazing lands plan fol lowing objections by Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson: "I think that Secretary Benson and his crowd down there want to get credit for whatever is done about the drought." Th.y had never flown before.
