    STATE WITNESS
MISSING
HUNT

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.

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. - .

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.

Mallon claimed OPA arrived
at new car prices not yet an
nounced by guesswork.
Bowles argued that dealers in
the months ahead would have
no losses by used car trade-ins
and, even with a reduction in the
margin between manufacturers'
price- and retail price, could
make more.than prewar average
profits. ....
. Mallon told the committee:
''The gravest and most immi
nent possible handicap to new
car production lies in the threat
ened strike in the steel industry
. . . if it leads to a shut-down,
there is no telling when a normal
supply of new cars will be avail-
Mallon said there also Is "im
minent danger of a series of
strikes in the automobile fac
tories themselves."

taught his people to luilo all
foreigners, and asserted:
"All tho unrest in tho com
munity is directed to an aver
sion to foreign peoples present
in our country, to murchlng
with lances, that has now al
ready grown into murder and
robbery and other tendencies
that, scon from tho viewpoint
of tho struggle for social re

reactionary, as every fascist
deed will always be reaction
ary." . .
British Pr.is Attack
Tho British, using a minimum
of forces to prevent heavy cas
ualties, pressed the attack slow
ly in Soerabaja. A summary of
the action said native resistance
was "particularly determined in
the area of the Hotel Soerabaja,
the British-held post office
building and the railway em
bankment." Southeast of the court and
justice buildings in tho Kotn
railway station area, Indones
ians launched strong attacks
against the troops of the 40th

were broken up by British ar
tillery concentrations.

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."
Secret Kept
But as for the detailed knowl
edge of practical, application of
atomic energy, the three assert
ed that should be kept secret
