Bennett balky witness before the Senate Labor Rackets Com mittee and former Portland after-hours operator, has signed a 38 -page affidavit denouncing stories that he once offered a S500 bribe to Mayor Terry D. Schrunk the Oregon Journal said in a copyrighted story yesterday. The Portland newspaper said that Bennett, who was cited for contempt of Congress for refus ing to testify earlier this month before the Senate Labor Rackets Committee, made the lengthy statement before seven witnesses including Portland Police Chief William Hilbruner. Would Tell Grand Jury Bennett was quoted as saying in the affidavit that he would, be willing to tell the story to the Multnomah county grand jury. He has appeared before the jury. He said he was making the statement because he wanted to Thursday Leclure Is Postponed "The first in a series of lec tures sponsored by the tourist committee of the Jackson Coun ty Chamber of Commerce has been postponed one week and will be held Thursday, March 28, instead of tomorrow night, Mrs. Bert Pree, chairman, an nounced today.

"keep an innocent man from being framed. . . " The story quoted Bennett as denying that James B. Elkins, Portland racketeer and star wit ness before the Senate commit tee, financed him in the opera tion of the 8212 club, the alleged location of the bribe offer. "Jim Elkins never give me no bankroll, whatsoever. The money to the club I put in it myself," the affidavit said. He described his partnership with Elkins simply as Elkins told him "when to open and when to close." Testimony Tells of Pay Elkins testified before the Sen ate committee he was told Ben nett paid then Sheriff Schrunk S500 to stop a raid on the after hours club. Schrunk labeled the story "fantastic" when he ap peared before the committee. "At no time did Terry Schrunk or me eveV discuss any proposi tions or plants of money of any sort and at no time did it ever enter my mind to offer him any thing, and my honest belief is if I had of I would have been put in jail for attempting bribery," the story quoted Bennett as saying.
