Wornli domi ing court settlement of federal claims to tldcland oil areas. If ho said that, Ickes testified it was a mistake because "im proper methods had been used by Mr. Pauley and used con stantly by him." When Tydlngs said that the former secretary of interior was contradicting himself, the wit ness interrupted him to assert: "Now you don't have to shake an admonitory finger at mc. I hope your record is as clear as mine." Tydlngs referred to Ickes' previous testimony that Pauley In 1944 made "tho rawest prop osition ever mado to mo." This, Ickes said then, was a sugges Hon that $300,000 in democratic campaign funds could be ob tained from oil men if the gov ernment did not press the tide- lands issue. "wiiv Hirin't vnn toll Presi dent Roosevelt and the Ameri can people that they had a dem ocratic national treasurer who was going around soliciting campaign funds from oil men who might benefit?" Tydlngs demanded. "I said to President Roose velt on one occasion," Ickes re plied: "No oil man should be treasurer of the democratic na tional committee and sooner or later you are going to have a scandal on your hands." Why hadn't Ickes told Presi dent Truman about Pauley, Tydlngs wanted to know. "I did lead up to it two or three times," Ickes replied. "Ho asked me no questions. I sup posed he didn't want to know." Earlier, Ickes asserted If a California conservation measure supported by Pauley had be come law in 1939 the navy might havo saved 150,000,000 barrels of oil at the Elk hills reserve. There appeared little senti ment to discount the weight of Churchill's words on American public opinion, coming as they did only five days after Secre tary of State Byrnes told the world this country must stand ready to fleht. if necessary, to protect the . principles of - the .United .Nations charter., ; . Churchill spoke at Fulton Mo., yesterday as a private citi zen. But the fact that he was in troduced by President Truman lent perhaps even more impor tance to his words than if they had been voiced on the floor of commons in Churchill's role of leader of his majesty s govern ment's loyal opposition. It has been emphasized, how ever, that Mr. Truman's appear ance, on the same platform does not constitute -an administration endorsement of Churchill's views.. Churchill's speech came in for praise and criticism among mem bers of congress today, and for a time engaged tne nouse in a Hur ry of debate. Rep. Cox (D-Ga.) inserted the Churchill text in the house rec ord, telling the chamber that it cannot be doubted that Russia "intends to spread her power and attempt to communize the whole world. Rep. Rankin (D-Miss.) com mented "Winston Churchill ren dered civilization a great service." But Chairman May (D-Ky.) of the house military committee told the house he did not believe the United States should take any position on military alli ances against Russia until Russia has been given -on opportunity to state her position through the United Nations- organization. On the other side of the capi tol, a number of influential sena tors rejected the Churchill sug gestion lor a military coalition with Britain as an affront invit ing, Russian retaliation and as a "body blow" to the United Nations.- Southend Suspect Still At Large George Harvey, about 60. who was allegedly thwarted in an attempt to suck up a service sta tion at Merrill Monday after noon, has not been located yet, state police and local law en forcement officers, said today, although a complaint charging him with assault, armed with a dangerous weapon, has been signed by Warren Walker, sta tion operator.

Bowles Gets 4 Years, Parole Maurice "Buddy" Bowles, 20- year-old Klamath Falls youth convicted of statutory rape last week, was sentenced to serve four years in the state peniten tiary this morning and immedi ately paroled to the district at torney by Circuit Judge Dayid R. Vandenberg. The young man's attorney, U, S. Balcntine, made an emphatic plea for clemency before sen tence was passed, saying that the jury which convicted Bowles was making him a scapegoat for possible past miscarriages of jus tice in the court here. Balentine cited newspaper and general public criticism of the laxity of juries in recent criminal cases here as having had an undue influence of the 12 men who tried Bowles. ' "If this boy has to bear the punishment for Earl Heuvel it's a tremendous miscarriage of jus tice," Balentine asserted. Heuvel was acquitted of two morals counts in the court recently and two others were dismissed. Judge Vandenberg allowed Balentine to place several resi dents of the Altamont district on the stand this morning to testify to the general family reputation and homelife of the 14-year-old girl involved in the case. All were of the opinion that Bowles should be paroled.
