Stale Describes
Thomas Maloney
As Conspirator
Portland The jury hear
ing the conspiracy trial of Thom
as Maloney, Seattle and Spokane
race track figure. Wednesday
heard him described by the state
as a conspirator to get money
from gambling operations in
Portland, and by the defense as
a man who likes people and has
aspirations to be influential.
Assistant Attorney General
John D. Nichols told the jury
that the state will try to prove
that Maloney was a conspirator
with ex-District Attorney Wil
liam M. Langley and Joseph P.
McLaughlin, Seattle cardroora
operator, to get money from
gambling operations in Portland.
Petty Details
Defense Attorney Howard Lon
ergan said "the state has singled
out a few petty details from a
living picture" and drawn an
erroneous conclusion from them.
Seven witnesses were called at
Wednesday's opening session, in
cluding a deposition by Kenneth
E. Rinke, former chairman of the
Multnomah County Democratic
Central Committee.
Rinke testified that Maloney
took an active part in Langley's
1954 campaign for district at
torney. Marvin Chamberlain, auditor
of the Multnomah hotel, testified
that the Western Conference of
Teamsters paid two hotel bills
for Maloney.
Double Taxation
Threat Studied
Corvallis IP) Two Benton
county legislators said today
they will try to remove a threat
of double taxation hanging over
some Oregon school districts
when the Legislature meets in
special session this month.
Sen. Francis Ziegler and Rep.
Wayne Giesy said they would
introduce a bill drafted by the
Oregon Farm Bureau.
Members of the Benton coun
ty farm bureau said they had
learned that a new law regulat
ing rural school districts per
mits an area within an adjacent
county's union high school dis
trict to be taxed twice once
by the rural district in its own
county and again by the rural
district in the adjacent county.
Four school districts in Ben
ton county would be affected
by the law. A Benton county
deputy assessor said it would
probably boost their taxes by
50 mills for every dollar of as
sessed value on real property.
School districts in Multnomah,
Washington. Polk, Clackamas,
Yamhill, Marion, Lane, Linn,
Douglas, Harney, Malheur and
Coos counties face the same
threat of taxation by two counties.

Farmers Advised To
Grow Christmas Trees
Urbana. 111. (I? W. F. Bulk
ley, a University of Illinois for
ester, advises farmers that "con
sidering the high price of pro
ducing corn" Christmas tree
planting may net more income
per acre and do it on poorer
soil.
Christmas trees give a rapid
turnover from land that is not
paying its taxes. Bulkley added.
Pine trees can be purchased
for only a few cents apiece from
state nurseries and sold for
around S2 each, he pointed out.

Portland HP) Military po
lice from Fort Lewis made them
selves a big haul here Wednes

Authorities said Wood, 41,
faces a charge of wartime de
sertion, having disappeared
from Camp Forest, Tenn., in
August of 1943. The provost
marshal's office said Wood had
been convicted of forgery and
was reporting to the Multno
mah county sheriffs office when
a fingerprint check disclosed
him as a deserter.
The paddy wagon was em
ployed to transfer Wood to Fort
Lewis because he proved too
bulky to squeeze through bus

Warned To Stay
Away From Range
Maebashi, Japan (IPi The
husband of the Japanese shell
picker who was shot and killed
by Army Sp-3 William S. Girard
testified today he warned his
wife "numerous times" to stay
away from the Camp Weir firing
range during U. S. Army exer
cises. Arikichi Saki told of his re
peated warnings before the Jap
anese court trying Girard on
charges of manslaughter in the
death of Mrs. Naka Sakai last
Jan. 30. He admitted it was one
of his duties as village councillor
to instruct villagers to keep away
from the range when firing prac
tices were underway.
Crowded Soldiers
The first witness called by the
defense, however, testified that
shell pickers crowded so close
to American soldiers the day
Mrs. Sakai was killed that they
kicked over a machinegun and
knocked down the gunner.
1st Lt. William G. Gigante,
25, of Detroit, Mich., said the ex
ercises were finally suspended
because the Japanese crowded
so close "their lives were en
dangered." Gigante was a pla
toon leader during the Camp
Weir maneuvers.
Visual Problems
Discussed at Meeting
Ashland V i s u a 1 problems
rank second only to dental de
fects as the nations greatest
health problem, according to Dr.
William J. Thompson, Medford
optometrist, director of profes
sional services of the Oregon
Optometric association.
Dr. Thompson spoke at a
meeting of the Ashland Kiwa
nis club this week.
The optometric profession is
alarmed over the high incidence
of rejection from the armed
services because of visual de
ficiencies, Dr. Thompson said.
He noted that more men were
rejected for inadequate vision
than for any other single cause.
In tracing the cause of these
rejections, Dr. Thompson ex
plained that cultural and envir
onment changes have contribut
ed to the high incidence of
visual problems and society has
not kept pace in adapting to
greater demands on our visual
processes. t
He stated that greater atten
tion should be. placed on the
visual environment of school
children.

No Solution Seen
For French Crisis
Paris (W French political
leaders began discussing the
government crisis in terms of
weeks and even months today.
The crisis precipitated by fall
of Premier Maurice Bourges
Maunoury was 10 days old to
day, and no solution was in sight
though France was deep in eco
nomic troubles and beset by the
costly Algerian rebellion.
Failure Wednesday night of
moderate leader Rene Pleven to
form a cabinet committed the
country to a long and potenti
ally dangerous stalemate that
may end with dissolution of the
National Assembly and new gen
eral elections.
Pleven's failure apparently
boosted the chances of Socialist
Guy Mollet. Mollet gave up on
one attempt to form a govern
ment when he found the many
political parties unable to unite;
the dangers France faces now
could bring them into line.
William Clark
Dies in Ceylon
Colombo, Ceylon (IP) Wil
liam Clark, controversial former
U.S. chief justice in postwar
Germany, died of a heart at
tack while on vacation here, it
was reported.
Clark was vacationing with
his wife at Nuwheraeliya. She
was at his side when he died.
Clark was 66. He was born in
Newark, N.J., son of the
founder of the Clark thread
mills.
Clark was appointed chief jus
tice of the Court of Appeals of
the U.S. military government in
Germany in 1948. He held that
post until 1953 when he was dis
missed in the climax of a long
feud with then U.S. High Com
missioner James B. Conant.
The controversy involved the
question of court jurisdiction.
In November of 1953, Clark was
ordered to return to Washing
ton for "consultations." He re
fused and staged a sit-down
strike in his Frankfurt chambers
but finally returned home and
was informed by the U.S. State
Department that his appoint
ment to the court would not be
renewed.
Teacher Shortage
Expected To Ease
Cincinnati (IP) The na
tion's critical shortage of teach
ers may be eased somewhat
within a few years, a report on
college enrollment indicated to
day. Dr. Raymond Walters, presi
dent emeritus of the University
of Cincinnati said his study
showed enrollment in teachers
colleges this year is up 75 per
cent.

published in the December issue
of School and Society said en
rollment in all full-time colleges
is up 5 per cent. The report is
based on a preliminary study of
more than 600 colleges and universities.
