By Untied Pratt InUmtiional
' A Catholic committee an
nounced In Portland today its
quesionnaire lor political
candidatet Is being with
drawn. Leo Smith, chairman of the
Catholic Committee on Re
ligious Rights, said a main
reason for the withdrawal was
that candidates felt unable to
respond pending a U.S. Su
preme Court decision on the
Oregon textbook law.
The questionnaire, mailed
recently to legislative and
school board candidates, ask
ed how they would vote on
such questions as books and
transportation for parochial
tchools and taxes for religi
ous institutions.
Misconception Found
Smith said the committee
also decided to withdraw the
questionnaire when it found
"some misconception of its
stated purpose which possibly
could disrupt the growing un
derstanding among religious
groups in Oregon."
Smith said answers already
received would be destroyed.

One; Files on
Others Studied
Washington -lUPD-Thc Agri
culture Department, digging
deeper into the case of Texas
farm magnate Billie Sol
Estes, has fired one employee
and turned is files on two
other men over to the Justice
Department.
Thomas R. Hughes, agricul
ture Secretary Orville L.
Freeman's executive assistant,
announced Monday the de
partment had fired William
E. Morris from its credit serv
ices department because he
failed to answer orders to
show up for questioning
about dealings with Estes.
In fact, Hughes said, "We
still don't know where he is."
Morris was formerly an
assistant to James T. Ralph,
who was relieved of his du
ties as assistant Agriculture
Secretary two months ago
and named agricultural at
tache to the Phillipines.
FBI Asked To Check
Undersecretary Charles S,
Murphy announced that the
FBI had been asked to look
into the activities of Ralph
and of Emery E. Jacobs, who
quit his job as deputy direc
tor of the department's serv
ice last week.
Witnesses at a Texas in
quiry said Jacobs went on a
clothes-buying spree with
Estes, who has been indicted
on fraud charges. Jacobs de
nied he ever took anything
valuable from Esfcs and said
he resigned so he could go to
Texas and fight the charges.
Further Action Considered
The department's general
council said the legal division
is also considering turning
over to the justice uepart
ment the files of two Agricul
tural Stabilization and Con
servation service employees
at Clinton, Okla., who were
identified as Russell E. Dill
and Harvey E. White.
The two men have admit
ted accepting "finders' fees
for locating displaced cotton
acreage for transfer to a
group of Texas farm pro
moters. Sources said the promoters
activities were similar to
those of Estes, who "sold" the
land to displaced Texas farm
ers and then leased it back,
thereby acquiring govern
ment acreage allotments for
cotton.

bars the three from all sacra
ments of the church but they
may go to mass and make con
fession. The three indicated they
would fight the archbishop's
decision, taking their cases to
Rome if necessary, and they
said the ruling would not
deter their fight against de
segregation. But there was
slight if any chance that the
Vatican would take cogni
zance of their protestations.
The Vatican praised Rummel
in 1955 for closing a Louisi
ana mission for its refusal to
accept a Negro priest.
Says Clergy Brainwashed
Perez, 70, is generally re
garded as Louisiana's leading
segregationist. He publicly
urged Catholics to "cut off
the water" of the church by
stopping contributions. He
claimed church officials had
been "brainwashed by sub
versive forces."
Mrs. Gaillot, 42, said she
would appeal to the Vatican.

She said that "God gave the
law of segregation (and the
Ten Commandments) to Moses
on Mt. Sinai."
Ricau, 44, father of eight,
called the excommunication a
"cruel edict," and announced
he would continue to fight for
"racial integrity." He issued a
long statement last week at
tacking Rummel's school de
segregation order.
The archdiocese said the ex
communication of the three
was not a form o' revenge or
a condemnation to hell be
cause "God alone can do
this."
The punishment would be
lifted if the three demonstra
ted repentance, but the order
said only the archbishop or
his delegate could remove the
church sligma.
There are two kinds of ex
communication, toleratus and
vitnadus. Toreatus, or tolerat
ed,, was the type invoked
against the three segregation
ists. They will be permitted to
attend Mass, but technically
have lost the "right" to do so.
Vitandus is reserved for the
most se-ere crimes, such as
physical violence to the Pope.
Mrs. Gaillot, Perez and Ri
cau will be denied the sacra
ments, including communion.
They would not get Catholic
burial if they died while ex
communicated. The archdiocese said that
Durno Encouraged
Over Bill Support
Rep. Edwin R. Durno (R
Ore.) said today he is encour
aged by many expressions of
support for his legislation
which would require that im
ported lumber and lumber
products be marked with the
country of origin.
Durno was a sponsor of a
luncheon in the House Office
Building last week attended
by some 60 Congressmen and
spokesmen for the lumber in
dustry. The meeting was call
ed to discuss the growing
problems facing the industry
and possible ways to alleviate
them. One of the major prob
lems has been the increasing
use of Canadian lumber pro
ducts in eastern U. S. markets.
Durno's bill was one of sev
eral proposals dicussed dur
ing the meeting. He said he
found many Congressmen and
lumber industry representa
tives who agreed that mark
ing imported lumber with its
country of origin could stimu
late, in the United States, use
of domestic forest products in
lieu of imported materials.
"I wai very gratified,"
Durno said, "by the many ex
pressions of approval and
support for my bill. I am
truly hopeful that we may be
able to push it to enactment.
While it is far from a cure
all for the problems besetting
our great forest products in
dustry, I think it could con
tribute materially to easing
those problems."

all three were sent letters
threatening excommunication
it they did not stop their op
position to Rummel's school

claimed he never got such a
letter. The cnurch said it was
mailed to him four times and
