Hearings Loom On Agriculture Fraud Inquiry WashinRton -TOPU-Sen. John L. McCldlan (D-Ark.) said to day his investigating subcom mittee may hold public hear ings into the agriculture scan dal involving Texas million aire Billie Sol Estes. But McClellan said if the hearings are held they will not take place for another month. The chairman of the Senate Investigations sub committee added that he would not be stampeded by Republican de mands to broaden the prelim inary inquiry he already Is making Into the case. McClellan told United Press International he expects pub lic hearings may result from the present study. GOP congressional leaders sensing political dynamite in the fraud case, called for a sweeping House-Senate inves tigation of all financial oper ations of the Agriculture de partment. Their demand was endorsed by former President Eisenhower. Democratic leaders were quick to reply that both Mc Clellan's investigations sub Political Roundup Thornton on Tour; Morse Blamed for Plight of Lumber By United Press International Atty. Gon. Robert Y. Thorn ton starts a four-day campaign swing through Eastern Ore gon Saturday. Thornton, a Democratic candidate for governor, will introduce Sen. E. L. Bartlett, (D-Alaska), at the State Young Democrats Convention at Bend Saturday night, Thornton's Eastern Oregon tour will be similar to one made by his primary oppon ent, State Sen. Walter Pear son, last week. As the primary campaigns went into their final two weeks, Republican U, S. Sen- ate candidate Jim Bacaloff blamed Democratic Sen Wayne Morse for a sagging lumber industry and a retard ed defense industry in Ore gon. Bacaloff said Morse has lost the confidence of his col leagues. In a speech at Eugene, Baca loff also said federal aid to schools should take the form of loans. Strand Speaks State Sen. Robert Strauh a Democratic candidate for Congress in the fourth dis trict, told a Junction City au dience the standards of living of 38 million Americans who live on incomes of $2,000 or less must be raised. Straub listed his chief cam paign issues as medicare for the elderly under social se curity, increased youth em ployment, economic growth disarmament and new ways of attaining peace. Republican Harold Living ston, a U.S. Senate candidate, today challenged Slg Unand- cr, another candidate, to a debate that would "demon' strate to the voters of Ore gon" which is qualified to fight Wayne Morse in the gen eral election. He suggested the issue, "What should be done to save Oregon Jobs from the Canadian lumber inva sion?" Thursday night Livingston challenged all his opponents to "show public evidence" that they could draw 70,000 non- Republican votes In Novem ber.

Pd. Pol Adv., Homer A Conger, Rt. I, Central Poi"t committee and the Agricul ture department already are checking on the Eites case and should have a chance to do the Job. But the RepiVlicans claim ed that neither the Senate nor House Agriculture commit tees have evinced interest in the matter. "Apparently the lid is on," conceded Sen. Everett M. Dirksen, 111. Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield (Mont.) said he did not think a joint in quiry of the department is necessary but that Republi cans "have a right" to seek it. He said he was "sure the McClellan committee and the department will do nothing to cover up any facts." Senate Democratic whip Hubert H. Humphrey (Minn.) said too "there is no lack of inquiries."

Mrs. Marguerite Wright of Salem told a farmers' union audience in Salem that the 'Republican-dominated farm bureau's chief Interest In the Mark Infante case is to use him to discredit Nilsen . . ." Nllsen, a Democrat, is seek ing reelection. Infante is an ex-migranl labor inspector for Nilsen who angered farmers several years ago by what farmers said was a biased picture of conditions of mirgrants In Oregon. ' "I'm not defending Infante," Mrs. Wright said. "I don't even know him. But I pro test strongly the dishonest, barnyard tactics of the Ore gon Farm Bureau in efforts to wage a purely political campaign for the ultimate benefit" of Nllsen's opposi tion.

George E. Leighty, chair man of the negotiating com mittee for the 11 non-operat Talkative Cosmonaut Turns Silent When Quizzed on Launch Washington - (UPD Cher- man S. Titov can talk about almost anything. He can speak of snacks in space and peace on earth, and muse with fear on the fate of man. He can crack a joke and laugh at one and spout some philosophy. But don't ask him what manner of machine launched him 17 times around the earth. It worked, and that's all you need to know. The Soviet cosmonaut traded information of all sorts Thursday with his Am erican counterpart, Col. John Glenn. They argued over dis armament. He refused to ans wer some questions by news men about his spaceship be cause they were, as far as he was concerned, mere unim portant scientific details. To Visit Plant Today, Titov planned to go to Baltimore to look at Beth lehem Steel's Sparrow Point plant, largest in the world. The cosmonaut was sched uled to return to Washington for a late afternoon reception at the Soviet Embassy. Titov also told the Interna tional Committee on Space Research about his historic space flight Thursday, con fining it largely to such de tails as how he chased his supper around the space cabin. However, he said the rock et that hurled him into orbit was a six-engine liquid fuel vehicle that generated a total thrust of about 1.3 million pounds. America's Saturn rocket develops about 1.5 mil lion pounds of thrust in a sin gle stage. Controllable Ship He told the delegates very pointedly that the Vostok II, his spaceship, was a controll able apparatus and, like Glenn, he had manual control of his ship at various times. ing rail unions, said the board's report "fails complete ly to deal realistically with the issues" in the dispute. Leighty said the railroad employees had had no real wage increase since 19S8 and their purchasing power had decreased while the wage for At their news conference, Titov was asked when Russia would release further data, like photographs and charts, on his flight. He said it all depended on disarmament. He quoted Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev, say inc? that when the two nations disarm, Russia and the United States can share technical data that borders on military rocketry. "The sooner we come to agreement on the question of disarmament, then the quicker we wil visit each oth er and I will fly with Col. Luxury-Living Mother Accused Of Illegal Jose, Calif. -OJPli- Miss Clara Teresa Bray, 35, an at tractive brunette who sur rounded herself with expen sive possessions while draw ing $215 a month in state aid to her three children, faced sentencing on a grand theft charge today for taking the money. She pleaded guilty Thurs day after a grand jury in dicted her on the grand theft charge and on a charge of sub mitting to an abortion. Authorities said she re ceived about $20, 00 in state aid to needy children during th past 10 years. Welfare investigators, some what embarrassed by the whole thing, -said an ; inex perienced ca-se worker became suspicious early this . year when she noted that Miss Bray's monthly check was de livered to a $31,000 home. Nothing was done for several (Board's Fin all other groups of American workers had increased. "In failing to make any re duction in this grave inequi ty," he said, "the board report departs from all recognized standards of justice in wage determination." Leighty said the report Machinery Glenn into space," he an nounced. Glenn did not reply imme diately, but later he said he wanted to "set the record straight" on disarmament. "We share our information quite openly," Glenn said, pointing out the charts and photographs published during the scientific meeting they at tended. "Our position is hot that we have to have disarma ment, before we share opin ions like this," Glenn said. As soon as Russia takes this view, he said, "we can all have a space flight together." Welfare months, officials said, because the case worker "apparently was not suspicious enough." Testimony taken when her case finally came before the grand jury last month showed that, besides the home, Miss Bray had a $1,030 mink coat, a year-old $3,200 hardtop con vertible, an ultra . modern kitchen, $1,000 in French pro vincial furniture, two tele vision sets and the services of a gardener at $30 a month. According to the grand jury transcript, she has n.ver been married. Her children range in age from 7 to 12. The house was in the name of a prominent San Jose busi nessman, according to the transcript, and he paid cash for the car, which was in Miss Bray's name. Miss Bray's success in draw ing welfare funds was attrib uted to "overburdened case workers." "will be of no assistance what ever in arriving at a settle ment of the dispute." President Kennedy nailed the report, issued Thursday night, as gratifying, and called on both sides "to nego tiate a responsible and non inflationary se 1 1 1 e m e n t in their own and Tn tne public interest." But a spokesman for the 11 non-operating railroad unions quickly expressed distaste for the emergency board's propos als and the raliroads, judging from past statements, seemed just as likely to oppose them. Under the Railway Labor Act, the board's report auto matically prevents a strike fo 30 days. But the unions will be free to strike any time aft er June 2, as they have threat ened to do. Here are the board's recom mendations compared to the position taken by the unions and the railroads: . - WAGES Board Recommended k four-cent-an-hour increase ret roactive to last Feb.'l plus a 2'2 per cent Increase May 1. Government officials said this would amount to an average 10.4 cents an hour as of May 1. Union - Demanded 25 cents an hour increase and contends such a boost would be well within the President's guide lines for noninflationary set tlements because of rapid pro ductivity gains. Railroads - Proposed a, 20 per cent pay reduction for 39 groups of middle and lower range employees, a flat $1.25 ELECT EVAN E.
