Schrunk Bribe Tales
Portland (U.R) Clifford O.
Bennett balky witness before

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

been postponed one week and
will be held Thursday, March
28, instead of tomorrow night,
Mrs. Bert Pree, chairman, an
nounced today.
The lecture was postponed be
cause it conflicts with the United

The lecture will be held in
room 217 at Medford High school
with registration starting at 7:30

"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.

French Indignation
Blot in Tunisia
Tunis iUR) French indigna
tion over the presence of Alger
ian rebel leaders marred the
first independence day celebra
tion of this year-old Republic to
day. Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, here on the last stop of
his African tour, was caught In
the middle.
The trouble began when the
Tunisian government extended
invitations to leaders of the
bloody Algerian rebellion to
come here from Cairo where
they have directed anti-French
activities in Algeria.
The French delegation headed
by Justice Minister Francois
Mitterand, boycotted a dinner
given Tuesday night by the city
of Tunis. The French also
snubbed two other events as
well.
