STATE WITNESS MISSING HUNT WILL CONTINUE (Continued from Page One) laid before the Jury the bulk ' of his lurid evidence against Hcuvcl concerning the alleged immoral act. . Tearful and sobbing, Miss Huff related how she and anoth er girl, Virginia Gibson, had been picked up by police at the Metro politan hotel early in the eve ning of November 8, last year, taken to the city Jail and booked for vagrancy. Heuvel, she said, told them at that time their sentence would be a $100 fine or 30 days in jail, then locked them in the women's cell for the night. Call Filthy The cell was small and filthy, the witness said, and already oc cupied by three Indian girls. Next morning, Miss Huff con tinued, Heuvel took both girls back into his office and advised them to be ''thinking of some thing to get out of this." The Huff girl testified that she told Heuvel she could get money to pay her ball but that the police chief answered that it didn't make any difference to him about the money. He asked both girls, the wit ness said, if they would be will ing to do anything he asked to be turned loose and both said they were willing. Going before the police judge, ' both pleaded guilty to vagrancy and Heuvel asked that sentence be held up until the girls re ceived medical examination. After the examination, Miss Huff , said, they were taken back to their cell. - 1 Early that evening, November 9, the young woman's story goes, Heuvel brought both Virginia and her out of the cell and back to his office, closed - the doors and asked if they still were will ing to do anything he wanted. , They agreed again. ;..- Virginia Gibson was then sent out of the room, and the 23-year-old Huff girl remained alone with Heuvel in the office. Witness Sobs Then the supposed act took place. Miss Huff testified. At this part of her story she burled her face in her hands and sobbed for several minutes. v A few minutes later Bernice left the room and Virginia went " into the office with Heuvel, ac cording to testimony. Both girls were locked Up in the cell again for the night and admonished not to talk about the happening because the cell was wired, Miss Huff said. : The next morning they, were brought before the police judge and Heuvel asked that they be released under the condition they would leave town and not return. Either 160 or 190 days' absence -was specified by the judge, the girl said. Later, they were taken to the bus station by a policeman and put on a bus for their homes in The Dalles. Miss Huff said she . told the story to a sister and her husband a few days later, then repeated it to her mother and, about two months afterward,' a state policeman came to her ; bouse and asked her to tell it to a district attorney in T,he Dalles. She did and then was subpoe naed to come before a grand jury in Klamath Falls. Under direct examination by Kimmell, she stated she had been in Hillcrest girls' industrial home for refusing to attend school, had been picked up by Seattle police for disorderly con duct and had been accused by a police . officer in Portland of breaking up ' her sister's mar riage.. - . .... . . . Then under cross examina tion, Attorney Herbert P. Welch "V of Lakeview, defending Heuvel, brought out a Portland police record file with the girl's pic r FREE PARKING ture and fingerprints, and showed it to her. "That's something I don't want to talk about," the girl cried, referring to the police chart, and burst into tears again. She had to be taken into an ante room before regaining com posure enough to answer Welch's questions. Long Rtcord Back on the stand, she admit ted serving a year in jail in Port land, to having lived with a mar ried man for a period of time, pleading guilty to disorderly conduct in Seattle, being arrest ed twice in Seattle for drinking and associating with men, being arrested in Bremerton for dis orderly conduct, being arrested in Portland on a venereal charge and having a complaint tiled against her in Hood River charg ing that she was. infected with syphilis. . She had refrained from admit ting these brushes with the law before, she said, because her hus band, a sailor stationed at Vero Beach, Fla.j knows nothing of them and she didn't want them to enter into her present married life. She apologized to Attor ney Kimmell for not telling him all about her past record and At torney Welch apologized to her for causing her embarrassment by bringing them in. Attractive Miss Huff, an attractive, brown-haired young woman, was dressed in a light blue, one-piece dress, sheer hose and black shoes, on the stand, wore a dia mond ring and wedding band and a small costume jewelry brooch. She sat with her father in the courtroom. Orville Hamilton, acting chief of police now. and Frank Black mer, city police desk sergeant, were also called as witnesses for the state. They testified that they, had seen both the girls at the police station the night they were brought in, but had not seen them afterwards. Tony Nelms, desk man who re lieved Blackmer, also saw the girls at the station and was on duty at the desk when the al leged act against Miss Huff took olace. He testified that he saw Virginia outside the chiefs of fice and knew that Bernice Was in the office, but did not know whRthei- Heuvel was also there. He also saw Bernice come out of the office and Virginia go In. Nelms was on dutv when the girls were originally .: booked, and stated under cross examina tion that a charge of vagrancv m ieht be used- to cover street-walking.

The proposal, the board said, would disrupt the year's sched ule. Previously the teachers' convention had been held during Christmas vacation. Hans Norland Fire Insurance. 123 N. 6th Si. PHONE 8484 LABOR PARLE!- AI TS ST AND OF INDUSTRY (Continued from Page One) mittcs, Taylor said at a news conference, has started to work yet on three important prob lems. He listed these as (1) rec ommendations for machinery to handle disputes where collective bargaining has failed; (2) defini tion of collective bargaining, and (S) consideration of legisla tion needed to back up confer ence decisions. Definition Necessary A definition of collective bar gaining is deemed necessary be cause of recent complaints of both labor and management that one or the other fails really to talk out the difficulties in volved. Knowland's suggestion on the wage issue was submitted to Schwellenbach in the hope, the senator said, that the cabinet of ficer "might find it helpful in preventing a fatal delay" in ra pid reconversion. Under the Californian's pro posal, labor and management would agree to an Initial in crease of perhaps 10 per cent and then negotiate a "leeway" for a possible additional raise. This in the case of the auto workers might be the balance of the 30 per cent they are ask ing, or a 20 per cent leeway. Any additional raise, however, would be paid out only as it was earned by industry. Yearly bargaining confer ences would be held to estimate the coming year's business and to agree on a division of in come among workers, manage ment, stockholders and consum ers. - . IKE SAYS RUSSIA F ,S. (Continued from Page One) ' tee members, principally Rep. Parnell Thomas (R-N.J.) who asked: ... "Who do we have as potential aggressors?" Eisenhower would not specify any nation because he said he could not foretell International developments adding that years ago none thought we would be at war with Germany or Japan. Right now, he said, "There is no one nation in the world that can challenge a prepared Ajmerica." .' ''.."The greatest single motivat ing ftrce for world peace today is the . organized military po tential of the United States," Eisenhower declared. Eisenhower cautioned that the development of war techniques would give the United States no time to prepare if it were attacked again.

Three Powers Not To Sharo Bomb Secret (Continued from Page One) vide an ' effective guarantee against production of atomic weapons by a nation bent on aggression. "Nor can we Ignore tho pos sibility of the development of other weapons, or of new meth ods of warfare, which may con stitute as great a threat to civ ilization as the military use of atomic. The statement made a distinction between what was called the 'fundamental scien tific information' about atomic developments and 'the special ized information regarding the practical application of atomic energy.' " . The three leaders noted that actually the scientific informa tion "has already been made available to the world," and they added that "it is our in tention that all further infor mation of this character that may become available from time to time shall be similarly treated." . Obviously with Soviet Russia primarily in mind, , they then said that "we trust that other nations will adopt the same policy, thereby creating an at mosphere of reciprocal confi dence in which political agree ment and cooperation will flourish."
