Doctored Up Tape
Admiited In Trial
Of Tom Maloney
Portland V The Maloney
gambling conspiracy trial was
in recess here Saturday after the
defense Friday succeeded in ad
mitting as evidence a doctored
and phoney tape recording it
said demonstrated the unreliab
ility of such recordings as evi
dence. The defense move followed
the abrupt ending of the state's
case against Thomas E. Maloney,
a Seattle and Spokane race
track and cardroom figure.
Circuit Judge Martin Hawkins
halted the playback before the
jury of defense-doctored tapes
using the voice of Assistant At
torney General John Nichols,
the prosecuting attorney. Judge
Hawkins agreed with state ob
jections the defense tapes were
not fit demonstrations since they
purported to record Nichols
making a deal for money.
The defense argued the tapes
were simply used to show that
uch recordings can be easily al
tered to distort and falsify facts,
using the voices of principals
without their knowledge.
The court did admit as evi
dence one tape which did not
use Nichols' voice but which was
doctored to show the potentials
of tape tampering.
The state had succeeded in ad
mitting a series of recordings as
evidence purporting to show
that Maloney conspired to profit
from gambling operations in
Portland. The trial resumes
Monday.

U.S. Foreign Policy
Takes It On Chin
During Conference
San Francisco (IP) United
States foreign policy took it on
the chin at the five-day Interna
tional Development conference
which ended Friday.
The event sponsored by Time
Life International and the Stan
ford Research Institute, was at
tended by some 500 business
men and government leaders
from 52 foreign countries and
the United States.
The number one topic was
U. S. Foreign policy.
In a "concensus report," Ed
gar R. Baker, managing director
of Time-Life International and
co-director of the conference,
said that private round - table
discussions of U. S. Foreign Ec
onomic policy "were almost ex
clusively critical."
"And the criticism came in
about equal measure from Am
ericans and abroad," he said.
Baker quoted one delegate as
saying: "It is a pity that it seems
to be so much easier to obtain
dollar aid than to reduce tariffs
and other trade restrictions."
Henry R. Luce, Editor-in-Chief
of Time, Life, and Fortune mag
azines and chairman of the con
ference, told the final session
that the U. S. has fallen short
of its responsibilities in the field
of world economics.
Luce said both the Republican
and Democratic parties have re
cently shown "a slippage of po
litical leadership in the field of
world-wide economics.
Luce suggested that the U. S.
could encourage investments
abroad by lowering tariffs and
formulating tax policies that
would encourage investment.

Nafion-Wide Exams
Start For Awards
Evanston, 111. Iff) Three-hundred-thousand
high school
seniors across the nation vie for
four' million dollars in college
scholarships in a series of gruel
ling examinations starting to
day. The huge talent hunt for wor
thy students is the third annual
such program sponsored by the
National Merit Scholarship cor
poration. Funds for the scholar
ships come from companies,
foundations, professional societ
ies and even individuals.
Today's tests are only the be
ginning. They will narrow the
field to 7,500 seniors who will
enter the semi-finals of the pro
gram. By May 1, the original ar
my of 300,000 will be whittled
down to the top 800 scholarship
winners.
Medit Scholarship provides
needed funds for the student to
attend the college of his choice
for four years. Each case is de
termined on actual need of the
individual.
The grants vary from a mini
mum award of $100 year for
each of the four years to more
than $2,000 annually in cases of
great need. The scholarships av
erage about $650 a year, Merit
Program spokesmen said.
The program was inaugurated
in 1955, based on grants of 20
million dollars from the Ford
Foundation and $500,000 from
the Carnegie Corp. Since then
many other backers have joined
the list.
