WASHINGTON (UPI)-A rap
Idly expanding firm with close

The firm, Scrv-U Corp., is re

annual business by placing its
vending machines in aerospace
plants working on government
contracts.
Serv-U acquired five major

Nixon Claims JFK
to Abandon
Satellite Nations
WASHINGTON (UPI) - For
mer Vice President Richard M.
Nixon charged Saturday that
the Kennedy administration is
drifting toward a policy of ne
gotiating away the freedom
hopes of 97 million people un
der the Communist yoke In
Eastern Europe.
Nixon, who recently returned
from a trip behind the Iron
Curtain, said there are "strong
pressures from within as well
as from outside" the adminis
tration for conclusion of a non
aggression treaty between the
NATO nations and the Com
munist Warsaw Pact powers.
He then asserted:
Draw a Line
It would be shockingly Im
moral for the United States to
do anything directiy or indi
rectly which would give the im
pression that we accept Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev's
prico namely, that in return
for 'peaceful coexistence' we
would draw a line down the
middle of Europe and accept
as permanent the Communist
enslavement of !)7 million East
ern Europeans."
Nixon said "only the mobili
zation of an amused and in
formed American public opin
ion will prevent the sellout" of
Eastern Europe.
Writing in the current is
sue of the Saturday Evening
J'ost, he said, I believe that
we are now entering a period
of the greatest danger of Com
munist expansion in the free
world since immediately afler
World War II.
More Dangerous
"All signs point to an ines
capable conclusion: A great new
Communist offensive is being
launched against the fre world,
an offensive without resort to
war, an offensive all the more
dangerous because it is so dif
ficult to recognize and to meet
effectively.
"We cannot meet and defeat
such an offensive by a static
policay of defense . . . Our
gnai for freedom can be noth
ing less . . . Our goal must
not be simply to keep freedom
from shrinking but to make It
grow too. Our goal must be a
free Cuba, a free Eastern Eu
rope, s free Russia, a free Chi
na, and every policy must be
directed to reach that goal
through peaceful means," Nix
on said.
"This was once the stated pol
icy of the Kennedy administra
tion, but it has been watered
down and wrapped in double
talk from the time negotiations
for the nuclear test ban be
gan."
ridge in the southern California
area.
The .15-year-old Baker and his
wife, Dorothy, are listed as re
cipients of $2!K),000 in promis
sory notes from Serv-U and
Mrs. Baker has signed docu
ments as assistant secretary of
the firm.
Ernest C. Tucker, board
chairman and vice president of
Serv-U, is a close friend and
law partner of Baker's in pri
vate practice. Baker is a well
known Capitol Hill figure and
has close tics with many Demo
cratic senators. He is a protege
of Vice President Lyndon B.
Johnson.
Wife on Senate Staff
Baker's non-elective job pays
an annual $20,000 salary. His
wife is employed on the Senate
Internal Security subcommit
tee's staff at a salary of $11,800
a year.
Senate staff members are not
barred from carrying on private
business careers. Baker has
made no secret of his financial
interests.
The FBI and the Justice De
partment refused to comment
on their interest in the vending
firm but it was learned that
FBI agents visited several plants
in the Washington area in con
nection with the firm's transac
tions. Attention was first called to
Baker's ties with Serv-U when
he was named a defendant in
a civil suit for damages filed
by Ralph Hill, president of the
Capitol Vending Co.
Hill alleged that he paid Baker
$5,600 for "securing and main
taining" a contract for Capitol
Vending to place its machines
in the nearby Falls Church, Va.,
plant of Molpir, Inc., an elec
tronics firm with government
contracts.
Contractu Switched
Meantime, president Aaron
Goldman of Macke Vending Co.
said that a Mclpar executive
told him that "corporate consid
erations of great importance"
caused Macke to be replaced
by Capitol Vending at Mclpar
plants. Goldman said his firm
lost the $.100,000 contract even
though Melpar officials assured
him that Macke s service and
prices were satisfactory. Capi
tol Vending in turn was re
placed.
Hill s suit charged lhat Baker
later conspired "maliciously to
interfere" with Capitol Vend
ing's contract and arranged to
terminate it after Hill refused
to sell his firm's outstanding
slock to Serv-U.
The suit said that Raker's
post as secretary to Senate
Democrats enabled him to tell
Fred Black, a Washington con
sultant for North American, that
he was in a position to help lhat
firm get government contracts.
In return, the suit alleged,
North American "entered into
an agreement to permit Scrv-U
corporation lo install vending
machines in its plants in California.

Both drivers, Amy Cherlyn
Cavin, Central Point, and Ira
Oliver Vincent, Ashland, were
cited by Medford police Friday
afternoon for violation of basic
rule and improper left turn,
respectively, after a non-injury
accident at 12th st. and Central

Theodore Manville Gerow, 108

try's major school systems, re
signed Friday after a summer
of demonstrations an? disorder.
He accused the school board
of invading his administrative
domain.
Most school board members
expressed dismay at Willis' res
ignation and board president
Clair M. Roddewig said it was
"a tragic loss to Chicago." Rod
dewig called a special board
meeting for Monday to consider
the resignation.
Civil rights organizations had
been pressing all summer for
Willis to resign his $48,500 a
year position. They greeted the
news with some restraint and
a threat of possible school boy
cotts if the resignation is not
accepted.
"Willis is not the main prob
lem . . . it's the segregated
schools," said Miss Roberta Gal
ler, spokesman for the Student
Non-violent Coordinating com
mittee.
Although it owns only eight
per cent of the world's com
mercial forest area, the U. S.
produces 44 per cent of the
world's lumber, 58 per cent of
its plywood, and 43 per cent of
its wood pulp.
Brazilian President
Asks State of Siege
BRASILIA, Brazil (UPI) -President
Joao Goulart arrived
here today with an appeal
to congress to impose a state of
siege throughout Brazil.
Goulart's proposal will be de
livered to congress by Minister
of Mines and Energy Oliveira
Brito.
Brito said the president will
ask for the measure "in view of
the necessity of pacifying the
Brazilian family."
There was no further immedi
ate explanation. Last month a
pocket-sized army rebellion was
quelled quickly.
Goulart's action followed the
revolt Thursday in Honduras,
the second coup in Latin Ameri
ca in eight days.
She said "demonstrations"
could be expected if the school
board does not accept the resig
nation, or if it is accepted and
the board "maintains a segre
gated school policy."
Readies Boycott Plans
A spokesman for the Congress
of Racial Equality said h i s
group was working on boycott
plans in the event the resigna
tion is not accepted.
Other civil rights leaders
cheered Willis' action as "a nec
essary first step toward a de
cent school system in Chicago"
and urged the school board to
accept it. Among them were
representatives of the Chicago
Urban League, Parents Associ
ation for Child Education, and
the Coordinating Council of Com
munity Organizations composed
of 16 civil rights groups.
Accepts Second Job
Opposition to Willis centered
on eharees he maintained "de
facto" segregation in the city's
public school system. Demon
strations reached a peak in Au
gust, when scores of persons
were arrested while protesting
the installation of mobile class
rooms on Chicago's South Side.
Willis also was criticized when
he accepted a $32,000 "moon
lighting" assignment to conduct
a survey of Massachusetts
schools. Critics said Willis would
not be able to devote his full
attention to Chicago schools.
The combined Massachusetts
and Chicago salaries made Wil
lis the highest paid public offi
cial in the nation except Presi
dent Kennedy.
Willis, who started in educa
tion administration 41 years ago
in his home stale of Maryland,
'me tn Chieapo 10 vears aon
and in his early years hers
directed a $200 million school
building program.
Through the sit-ins, picketing
and occasional violence last
summer, Willis denied allega
tions that white and Negro chil
dren were segregated in the
city's public schools.
He stood pat in favor of a
neighborhood school policy,
which civil rights groups claim
ed fostered school segregation
to match housing patterns.
