TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) First Concrete Results n Disappearance of Eugene Man By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington A federal grand Jury which has been in secret session for weeks has produced tne tirst con crete results of the uproar caused by the disappearance of Gerald L. Murphy, the Eugene flier who got into trouble with the Trujillo the Dominican Republic. On orders of the grand jury, a Trujillo agent operating in this country has been arrested for failing to register with the Jus tice Department, as the law re , quires of all foreign agents. The grand jury's investigation is con tkiuins, which indicates that more evidence is being presented which may result in action against the Trujillo regime. The arrested agent is a 42-year-old former FBI agent, John J. Frank, who also served with the Central Intelligence Agency, America's top secret worldwide network for gathering informa tion about foreign governments. Collected Informaiion Frank's trial in federal court here figures to be revealing of methods employed by Dominican agents, and especially how Frank allegedly operated with young Murphy in the sensational kid naping of Dr. Jesus de Galindez, tht Columbia University lectur er who was writing a book doc umenting the crimes of the Tru jillo regime. Two counts of the four count indictment against Frank charge that Frank collected information for and "solicited and accepted" compensation from the Trujillo government without registering as an agent.

The indictment also charged that Frank "dispensed and dis bursed" money for Trujillo and the Dominican government in Washington, D. C-, and else where in the United States. Frank was also known as "John Kane" in his work as an agent. It has been reported that a man named 'Kane" helped i Murphy lease and pay for ajari j vate aircraft from a firm near j New York. The plane was later ! flown by Murphy to the Domin ! ican Republic in the Caribbean with a passenger believed to ! have been Dr. Galindez. who was unconscious in the guise of a cancer patient. Nathan B. Lenvin, special at-1 torney for the government who is making the investigation with the grand jury, says only that the case has international rami fications because of the nature of the charges against Frank. He said Frank maintained a home in the Dominican Republic and traveled frequently between there and Washington. Each count in the indictment . carries a penalty of five years andor a 510,000 fine. Frank was a special agent for th; TBI from 1941 until 1949. He subsequently worked for the CIA and has been in private law practice since 1953. Two well known figures in Washington who served Trujillo have severed their connections since the Murphy case exploded several months ago. They are Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., a New York attorney now, and Charles Patrick Clark, whose most prom inent client in recent years has been General Francisco Franco of Spain. They both quit Tru jillo Feb. 28. Roosevelt report edly was getting 830,000 annu ally for his services. These are the only concrete New Shatter SWEET NAVEL DOZ. Canada Dry Orange - 6 JUICE FRESH ..J2Sv mmmSSSSSSS!S .
