Prosecution Hopes
To End Presentation
The prosecution- hoped to
wind up its presentation today
in the federal court case of
Walter E. Wendgren, Grants
Pass roofer, charged with in
come tax evasion.
Robert R. Carney, Portland,
assistant U.S. attorney, said
he hoped the trial would be
concluded tomorrow. Elbert
L.' Mikesell, Grants Pass, at
torney for Wendgren, was ex
pected to present the defend
ant's side of the case this
afternoon.
The government charges
that Wendgren filed a false
return with the intent of de
frauding the federal govern
ment. The charges state, in es
sence, that Wendgren filed
three tax returns for $310
total when he should have
paid $3,700. Income reported
was $11,596 when Wendgren
should have reported $26,701,
the charges state.
Special Agent
Walter J. Sanders, special
agent from Portland, depart
ment of internal revenue,
testified for the government
this morning.
One of the most important
pieces of testimony was a
transcript of a statement
made by Wendgren in the of
fice of the intelligence divi
sion of the bureau of internal
revenue in Portland April 28,
1955.
Wendgren stated then he
had no records to show the in
vestigating agent as request
ed and told his wife and an
employee to purchase a book
with ruled ' paper and they
would make up some records.
These books were given the
agent when he returned later.

. The information . in the

the tax returns, Wendgren
said, according to the state
ment. Other testimony this mor
ning revealed that Wendgren
had set his living expenses
for 1953 at $11,000.
Sanders testified that in his
conversations with Wendgren
he had said his income dur
ing 1953 was $4,053.88. This
he said was based on his take
home pay, the agent said he
had been told. Sanders also
identified Wendgren's tax
returns for the years 1949
through 1953. The returns in
question were made during
the years 1951 through 1953.

Pear Crop This
Year May Exceed
2.900,000 Boxes
Less Than Estimate
During Pre-Season
Preliminary reports from
fruit industry sources today
indicated that this year's pear
crop will almost equal last
year's harvest despite exten
sive hail damage in some
areas of the valley.
Incomplete figures indicate
that the final packout will ex
ceed 2,900,000 boxes, slightly
less than pre-season estimates,
sources said. -The preliminary
report was based on partial
packout reports, and includes
an estimate of the. number of
boxes which were sold to can
ners and an allowance for the
cornice crop, the bulk of
which is normally sold
through gift box channels.
The bartlett crop this year
was about equal to last year's
it was indicated but the d'an
jou and cornice crops were
slightly less than last year.
The bosc crop was larger this
year.
Eating Quality
Clifford B. Cordy, county
agent, said the eating quality
of pears this year is excellent,
and a higher sugar content
will result in better holding
quality.
Cullage for ' hail damage
and other defects may run
higher this year, Cordy said,
but because of maintaining
quality standards, the fruit
which reaches the market
should find ; high consumer
acceptance.
Officials noted a reduced
percentage of top grades, and
an increased percentage of
secondary grades which may
result in a reduction of the
overall value of the crop.
No exact figures are avail
able on the total amount of
hail damage, spokesmen said,
but the amount could be con
siderable when applied to en
tire area. The economic loss,
they said,' has resulted in considerable-study
by the indus
try as to the continuation of
control methods and hail sup
pression programs.
Slow Movement
Saleswise, shippers report
a slow movement of bartletts.
A depressed market has re
sulted in about 10 per cent
less returns to date compared
to last year; shippers said.
Only about a third of the
packed bartlett crop has been
sold compared to about a half
at this time last year.
Shippers attributed the
smaller figure to heavy move
ment of California bartletts.
Usually the bulk of the Cali
fornia bartlett crop moves di
rectly into the fresh market
early in the season, but south
ern shippers report about
twice as many bartletts in
storage now than last year!
The winter pear crop of the
Pacific northwest is about
1,000,000 boxes shorter than
last year, which could' result
in a good sales year for win
ter varieties. Factors contrib
uting to this include bigger
crops, in Europe and other
world pear ' producing dis
tricts, and a drastic reduction
in the number of boxes of
domestic pears which will
move into export channels.
Police Study Theft
From Lockers
Medford police today con
tinued their investigation in
to the theft of about S90 from
one of three lockers ransack
ed in the main fire station
here last week.
The lockers were ransacked
some time between Monday
and Wednesday mornings last
week. Police said the missing
money was in a drawer of
one of three lockers ran
sacked. Fire Chief Gordon Barker,
who reported the incident to
police, pointed out that the
station is open 24 hours a
day, arid residents can visit
the building without the
knowledge of firemen.
Barker said there were sev
eral visitors to the department
during the period when the
lockers were ransacked.
Holmes Reports
Death of Salmon
At Oxbow Site
Telegram Asks
To Know of Plans
Salem -UPD- Gov. Robert D.
Holmes said Tuesday night
that his predicted catastrophe
for the Snake river salmon
run began Tuesday afternoon
with the death of more than
1,000 salmon at the Idaho
Power Company's Oxbow
dam site.
The governor said a report
from Albert Day, director of
the Oregon Fish Commission,
indicated that repair of a
cofferdam on the Snake riv
er had stranded "undetermin
ed thousands" of the migra
tory fish in deep pools at
Oxbow and that the fish
were "dying for lack of oxy
gen." Day reported to Holmes
that attempts were being
made to pump oxygen into
the pools to "relieve the suf
focation, and that this tem
porary measure seems to be
giving some relief."
On the basis of Day's re
port, the governor sent a tel
egram to Tom Roach, presi
dent of Idaho Power Comp
any at Boise that read:
"As governor of Oregon I
want to know immediately
what your company proposes
to do to save the remainder
of the salmon run on the
Snake river. Since your mis
conceived fish trap facilities
collapsed on Sept. 1 you have
made repeated promises con
cerning the date on which
those facilities would be re
stored. "More than a month later,
not a single one of those pro
mises has been kept.' The
director of the Oregon Fish
Commission informs me..,.,
that the death of fish has
reached catastrophic propor
tions and the peak of the run
has not yet reached the scene
of destruction.
"I am as tired as the rest
of the people of Oregon of
reading your promises and
press releases about restoring
the permanent fish facilities.
What we want to know in
these desperate circumstances
is when you are going to get
enough temporary facilities
into operation to save the re
mainder of the run."

Ted Flury Denies Any 'Intentional Corruption'
In Conducting EP Irrigation District Business
Ted Flury, secretary-man'
ager of the Eagle Point Irriga
tion district, yesterday denied
there has ever been "inten
tional corruption" in the dis
trict's operations.
He made this statement fol
lowing a board qf directors
meeting punctuated by verbal
sniping and occasional broad
sides, from Mrs. Ann Todd,
water-user and candidate for
a seat on the board in the
November election.
Jury Investigation
Thomas J. Reeder, Jackson
county district attorney, has
asked a grand jury investiga
tion of the district based on
complaints by Mrs. Todd al
leging improper practices. The
jury is scheduled to take up
the case Oct. 14.
Mrs. Todd has accused
Flury in particular of having
a personal interest in the dis
trict's contract with the Cali
fornia Oregon Power com
pany, in violation of Oregon
statute. Flury has admitted be
ing on Copco's payroll.
"There has never been any

'Someone Goofed'
Dn Letter To Faubus
On Dncome Taxes
Little Rock, Ark. (DPD-The
district director of the Inter
nal Revenue Service took full
blame today for telling Gov.
Orval E. Faubus it appeared
he owed income taxes on
$105,499.14.
The trouble was that the
total included rent and oper
ating expenses on the execu
tive mansion for two years,
campaign expenses and a gift
automobile that Faubus and
his wife received in 1954.
Accuses Government
"Somebody goofed," IRS
District Director Curtis R.
Mathis said, explaining that
anything a state furnishes by
law to its chief executive is
not taxable.
Faubus took the opportu
nity to accuse the government
of- using the IRS to punish

VA Needs Funds to
Expand Facilities
The situation affecting Vet
erans administration hospitals
at Portland, Vancouver, Rose
burg and Camp White is typi
cal of the remainder of the
country, and will not change
unless additional funds are
made available, according to
Congressman Olin A. Teague,
(R-Calif.), chairman of the
House committee on veterans'
affairs.
In a letter to Congressman
Charles O. Porter, Teague said.
the "committee had before it
proposals to expand facilities
at a number of locations
throughout the United States."
But he noted that no action
was taken on any of the pro
posals "since it is apparent
that there is very little pros
pect of constructive effort
along these lines when it is
ompossible to secure adequate
funds to -operate 5,000 beds
which are presently in exist
ence.'.' Budget Prepared
Teague noted that the budg
et will not be known until
next February. "At that time,
we will be able' to determine
whether the administration
intends further curtailment in
this field or whether they are
recommending an adequate
budget for the operation of
the- Veterans administration
medical program," he told
Porter.
The California representa
tive said he . intends to rein
troduce a bill next session,
and if necessary "go into this
hospital problem again, with
a view toward obtaining ade
quate funds for proper utili
zation of those facilities which
exist and to obtain funds for
repairs, renovation, and' re
placement of those hospitals
which are in a bad state of
repair."
He added that "if this pro
gram meets with success, it
may be that we will then be
in a position to consider the
demands for creation of addi
tional facilities in various
parts of the country."
Teague pointed out that
when the house bill was in
troduced last session at the
close of hearings by the com
mittee, the report accompany
ing the bill expressed the com
done the district a lot of
good."
Financial Situation
Flury last month described
the Copco contract as respon
sible for a sound financial
situation in the district.
The contract allows Copco
to use district water for a
power station at Nichols Gap
in return for paying the dis
trict for maintenance and im
provement work on the main
canal bringing the water to
the station.
Flury is reportedly on
Copco's payroll as "assistant
supervisor of the Nichols Gap
project."
He also denied yesterday a
rumor that he planned to re
sign before the grand jury in
vestigation got underway.
"I have no plans to resign
until this whole business gets
cleared up. I have no plans
about resigning at all."
. He said he thought the in
vestigation would straighten
out "a lot of misconceptions."
Read Letters
Mrs. Todd demanded at yes
terday's meeting the right to
read letters questioning the
district's 1959 budget and
use of the White House, if
he had to pay for use of the
executive mansion.
Faubus said he got a letter
which said he had 10 days to
protest the IRS charges.
Acting Internal Revenue
Commissioner O. Gordon
Delk, who took a less apolo
getic attitude than Mathis,
said Faubus' overall tax af
fairs are still under scrutiny.
He did not elaborate.
Itemi May Have 'Merit'
Mathis also said there are
some items his men are look
ing into that may have
"merit."
"The investigation will be
complete when Governor Fau
bus or his attorney comes and
gets with us and irons out a
few things," he said.
But he said sending Faubus
an L-19 letter to .come in
within 10 days and agree to
pay taxes or argue it out with
an IRS agent was a mistake.

the budgetary limitations
which were imposed on the
Veterans administration hos
pital and medical program.
"These budgetary limita
tions have led to the closing
of approximately 5,000 beds
in Veterans administration
hospitals throughout the coun
try, "and recently the VA an
nounced closure of an entire

Teague said that "it is neces
sary that the problem of vet
erans' care as it exists in Ore

the over all situation."

was already familiar with her
letters. He told her if she
wanted to read them for the
benefit of the public she
should hold a separate meet

take up the directors' time.
Mrs. Todd replied that the
board was "railroading" the
business under consideration
without allowing the public
an opportunity to speak.

to let Copco engage private
contractors for renovation

They also authorized Frank

Doctors Abandon
Survival Hope;
Pontiff in Coma
Death Seen Close
For Head of Church
United Press International
Castel Gandolfo, Italy-fUPD-Pope
Pius XII suffered a
second stroke and a heart at
tack today. Death appeared
close for the 82-year-old head
of the Roman Catholic church.
Doctors abandoned hope
for the Pope's survival after
a cerebral attack this morn
ing and a new crisis brought
on this afternoon by "a grave
cardio-pulmonary collapse."
No Late Change
In New York, physicians in
terpreted the phrase "cardio
pulmonary collapse" to mean
either that the right side of
the Pope's heart had collapsed
or that the collapse occurred
in the artery leading from the
right ventricle to the lungs!
In a broadcast at 10:30 a.m.
(p.s.t.), Vatican Radio said
there had been no change in
the Pope's condition in the
last two hours, although his
blood pressure had gone up
to 180.
From inside the papal villa
came word that the doctors
had given the Pope blood
plasma and placed him under
an oxygen tent.
The Pope was unconscious
as his life ebbed away in the
bed-chamber of his summer
palace here.
Grim Medical Bulletins
A special broadcast by the
Vatican Radio from Castel
Gandolfo quoted the sixth and
latest medical bulletin on the
Pope's condition as saying:
"The syndrome" (Symptoms)
mentioned . in this morning's
bulletin has become progres
sively agravated. Energetic
treatment has not given the
hoped-for result. The tempera
ture is 38.2 centigrade (100
Fahrenheit), blood' pressure
140-90. The pulse is frequent
and is 140. Respiration is 381
"A grave cardio-pulmonary
collapse is setting in."
The Pope's last words be
fore a deep coma set in were
expressed to two aides: "Pray,
pray that this regretful situa
tion for the church ends."
He apparently was fearful
that his incapacity would
leave the church without a
leader for a long period.

the Copco contract another

the extension over Mrs. Todd's
objections at its Sept 2 meet

best interests of the water
users.
She charged Farrell yester
