Grenfell Enters Plea of Innocent To Court Charge Portland -WFIi- State Sen. William Crenfcll (D-Portlancl) pleaded innocent in circuit court here Friday to a charge of failing to remain at the 6cene of an accident. He was accused of leaving the site of an accident in Portland last Oct. 8 in which a man was killed. Grenfell entered his plea hpfore Circuit Judge Charles W. Hedding. His trial is ex pected to be held late next month. He also faces a charge of filing a false police report. He is scheduled to appear in municipal court in Portland on the charge next Tuesday. Grenfell, who was running for the Multnomah county commission at the time of the accident, told police he was injured when he was abduct ed and pushed from a moving car. His attorney later issued a statement that Grenfell had concocted the story because he did not wish to be con nected with the accident. New York-IUPII-U.

Order Permits Use Of Foreign Ships In Lumber Trade Washington - H'PD -- Com merce Secretary Luther Hodg es has approved a federal maritime administration (FMA) order allowing t h e Georgia Pacific Co., Portland, Ore., to use foreign vessels to ship lumber to Puerto Rico. Hodges approved a recom mendation by FMA hearing examiner Paul N. Pfeiffcr that the firm be allowed to use lower-cost foreign ships under an amendment to mari time laws passed by Congress this year. Pfeifter had recommended originally ' that Georgia Pa cific must first give the U. S. shipowners three days in which to meet any rate quot ed by a foreign shipowner. However, the period was ex tended to five days in the order approved by Hodges and the FMA. Meanwhile the maritime ad ministration began new hear ings on similar requests by other Pacific Northwest lum ber companies. Ship Lumber Asking similar permission to ship lumber to Puerto Rico aboard foreign cargo vessels were Dant and Russell, Inc., Portland; Oregon Lumber Ex port Co., Portland; Seaboard Lumber Co.. Seattle, and Simpson Timber Co., Seattle. Legislation to allow the foreign flag shipments was recommended last summer by President Kennedy in an ef fort to help the hard-pressed west coast lumber industry meet Canadian competition in U. S. markets. Some American shipp 1 n g lines opposed the legislation and the resulting applications by the lumber companies for exemption from historic mari time laws limiting intcrcoast al trade to U. S. ships.

Both sides held pessimis tic views on the prospects for a quick end to the strike which has Idled 20,000 em ployees. In his television appearance Thayer, who said he was ex pressing the views of the pub lishers association, declared: "We can all survive a long strike, if need be. We must also be able to survive the settlement when it is reach ed." The nine dailies, with a combined circulation of 5.7 million copies, have been shut down since Dec. 8 when mem bers of Local 6 of the Inter national Typographical Union walked out at four of the pa pers.

Stuart Symington charged was an "incredible" damage suit for $70 million. Symington, chairman of the stockpile investigating sub committee, said he could not understand why government attorneys were "so eager" to honor a contract with the Harvey JWachine Co., now the Harvey Aluminum Co., Tor rence, Calif. The Harvey firm was rep resented by a New York law firm headed by former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. Contract in Dispute The committee heard testi mony that one of the govern ment's lawyers, Maxwell El liott, ultimately went to work for Harvey Machine. Elliott had been general counsel of the General Services admin istration (GSA) when the con tract for 270,000 tons of alu minum for the national stra tegic stockpile was in dispute. So far the government has bought $71,838,000 worth of aluminum under the contract and may purchase $30,860,000 more from the Harvey plant at The Dalles, Ore. Attorney James Nickerson, of New York said Dewey, for mer Republican presidential nominee, turned the case over to him and that he "handled it from beginning to end." The committee did not In quire what legal fee was In volved. Nickerson explained that he concluded the government had "dishonored and breach ed" a 1953 contract with the Harvey Co. He said the gov ernment failed, as promised, to provide power from the Bonneville Power administra tion. The Harvey firm by then, he said, had spent $2 million in developing its alu minum plant at The Dalles. Claim Was Just He said someone in govern ment had failed even to ask Congress for the money need ed for the power setup. He said he felt his claim was just then and that he still believes so. Faced with the law suit threat, Nickerson recounted, Defense Mobilization Chief Arthur S. Flemming decided to "honor the contract." Nick erson conceded that he esti mated his client's potential loss "liberally'' but said this was customary In a damage case. Symington, Missouri Demo crat, while complimenting Nickerson for his "magnifi- cent" legal performance, said it was incredible to him for a $2 million expense to justi fy a $70 million damage claim. He said that if all gov ernment contractors took that position when the need for a product ended, the cost would be immense. The committee contends that the government stock pile had more aluminum than it needed in 1955.
