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

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-

But the RepiVlicans claim

"Apparently the lid is on,"
conceded Sen. Everett M.

Senate Democratic leader
Mike Mansfield (Mont.) said
he did not think a joint in
quiry of the department is
necessary but that Republi

it. He said he was "sure the

Mrs. Marguerite Wright of
Salem told a farmers' union
audience in Salem that the
'Republican-dominated farm

him to discredit Nilsen . . ."
Nllsen, a Democrat, is seek

Infante is an ex-migranl

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

to wage a purely political
campaign for the ultimate

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.

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

when she noted that Miss
Bray's monthly check was de

wanted to "set the record

"We share our information

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

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
