Maloney Jury Hears Recording Over Objections Portland W A tape re cording, subject of much de bate during the gambling - con spiracy trial of racetrack figure Thomas -E. Maloney, finally was played to the jury over defense objections Wednesday. Raymond F. Clark, who testi fied earlier he made the tape, identified the voices on it as those of Maloney, Joseph P. McLaughlin, and ex-District At torney William Langley. Poker in Conversation The tape recording carried a conversation, among other things, about poker, punch boards, politics and '"China Joints" as well as profanity. The jury listened to the re cording with earphones while holding transcripts of it in their hands. Howard Lonergan, defense at torney, renewed his objections to the tape but did not elaborate much in front of the jury since he had gone over the points pre viously in the judge's chambers. The tape playing was only a part of Wednesday's highlights. Lt. Bard Purcell, brother of ex-Police Chief Jim Purcell, tes tified that Maloney wanted the police bureau to ease up on vice prosecutors, saying it was bad for business in general. Denies Frame Request Clark, under cross-examinations, denied that he asked Clif ford O. Bennett, former operator of the 8212 club, to help frame Mayor Terry Schrunk. He said he did go to Great Falls, Mont., in the summer of 1956 and ask ed Bennett to come back to Port land "but I didn't ask him to help frame anyone." Another witness, Howard Rid dell, a sound engineer and tech nician, said he examined the tape recording and found no al teration of the audible and in telligible portions of the tape. French Communists Order Demonstrations Paris 0? The French Com unist party ordered its five mil lion followers to hold nation wide strikes and demonstrations Thursday against "the dirty lit tle war" in Algeria. Widespread violence was feared. Communist unions joined with non-Communist unions Wednes day in turning the nation's in dustrial life into choas in a 12 hour strike of gas and electrical workers. The Reds believed the 18-day-old government crisis would paralyze police attempts to crush the demonstrations. The Communists also hoped widespread disorders would block the efforts of tough, anti Communist conservative leader Antoine Pinay to win National Assembly approval Friday as the 24th post-war premier. His chances appeared shaky. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The state of Oregon has been doing a lot of talking recently about the importance of in creased industrial development. That prompts this question: Just how important IS in creased industrial development to the economy of a state or a region? Inspectors Question Paisley Suspect Lakeview tt?l Postal in spectors Wednesday questioned Jesse Hibdon, 30, Merced, Calif., suspect in the holdup of the Paisley postoffice and the slay ing of John Troy Lawson last Thursday. Hibdon was captured Tuesday by Harold Broderick, fire chief at the coastal town of Hammond who was deer hunting in the Lapine area between Paisley and Bend. Hibdon was brought to the Lake county jail here where his partner in the holdup, Donald Ferguson, 32, Bakersfield, Calif., was taken after his capture north of Paisley shortly after the getaway car was found aban doned. Lake County Sheriff Thomas Elliott said Hibdon admitted tak ing part in the holdup but de nied that he shot Lawson. OLDEST BAKER DIES Wilkes Barre, Pa. (IP) Wil liam H. Alden, 94, who at his retirement in June was believed to be the oldest baker in the country, died Wednesday. Alden was a baker for 78 years. For Doll Family Thursday, October 17, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THRES "COR an answer to that ques- tien, let's turn to some U.S. department of commerce figures that are quoted by the Klamath County chamber of commerce in its current bulletin entitled Klamath Keynotes. The com merce department estimates that each new industry employing 200 persons will support the fol lowing increases in the total economy of the community in which it is located: 393 new homes. $75,000 in added retail sales. $2,500,000 in new taxable wealth. $1,500,000 in new life insur ance sales. 1400 new population. $1,000,000 in new bank de posits. It should be understood, of course, that these estimates in clude not only the new em ployees themselves and their families but the added service industry people that is to say, those who shine each other's shoes and wash each other's shirts, etc. who will be attract ed to the area by the new in dustrial development. TN THE light of these figures, - I think it must be agreed by EVERYONE that new industrial development is worth going after. And I'd say It's high time for the state of Oregon to GET BUSY. labor Secretary Urges Probe of Companies Pendleton (W James T. Marr, executive secretary of the Oregon State Labor council, said here Wednesday night that the McClellan committee investigat ing labor should also investigate some of the companies with which labor has been involved. , Marr was here for presenta tion of an AFL-CIO official char ter to the Pendleton Central La bor council.
