.'Fake' Visit Tale Denied By Kennedy SEATTLE, July 2 UP) Her bert Kennedy, 69, shipyard en gineer, flatly denied a defense "suggestion" In federal court to day that he faked a visit to the apartment of Russian Navy Lt.

You fully enjoy the tasty flavor of Phiuf Morris' choice, aged tobaccos. Because in Philip Morris there is no such irritation to spoil enjoyment as in the other top-demand brands. In addition Philip Morris are proved less irritating to nose and throat . . . Therefore Better was delivering confidential na val data Redin had requested. Called for re-cross examina tion, Kennedy, the government's star witness, was reminded of his original testimony In which he said he visited Redin's apart ment during Mrs. Redin's ab sence and gave the lieutenant a document. Defense Attorney Tracy Griffin asked him if he first advised the FBI he was go ing there. Government attorneys objected strenuously against what they termed improper cross-examination. Judge Lloyd L. Black excused the Jury and advised counsel that once again he would figura tively lean over backward to insure the Russian defendant had a fair and impartial trial in a United States court. Judge Black said he could rule with the government's stand but "if I was in Russia, charged with an offense, and someone testi fied they brought something to my home. I at least would like the privilege of finding out if that person told someone else he was going to my home." Notified FBI The Jury filed back into the box and Kennedy testified he notified FBI Agent Joseph Wal ters in advance of the visit. Under cross-questioning Ken nedy testified an observer could ; have seen him enter the apart ment house but could not have ; determined whether he actually i entered Redin's apartment. He denied that he knew his movements were being watched i by FBI agents. "I suggest, Mr. Kennedy," At torney Griffin pronounced slow- ly, "that you entered the build I ing that day at 4:30 p. m. and ' came out some time later, but I you did not enter the Redin i apartment Is that right?" I There was a long silence as Kennedy pondered the question, apparently propounded as a groundwork for impeaching his entire testimony. : "I don't understand the ques- to Smoke! mm X CALL FOf I America's FINEST Cigarette TUNE IN "IT PAYS TO BS IONOBANT" rSIDAT NIGHT, KSL-I:M Rodeos Slated For State 4th By The Associated Press Traditional western rodeo celebrations plus an equally typical loggers' carnival get un der wav in several Oregon cit ies tonight to mark opening of the annual Fourth of July ob servance.

THIS writer has an Idea that Mr. Bowles may have spoken j too quickly True, cattle and hog prices DID go up sharply under the ex citement of the first day of free bidding and taking. But ALSO livestock POURED INTO THE MARKETS in response to the higher price. A few days of that and prices will DROP again. That is the way the free mar ket system will work IF IT DOES WORK ill these days. ALL over the country there is a laudable movement on the part of sound business to hold the price line to where It is now if it can possibly be done. Every sensible Business man in Amer ica knows that the inevitable fruit of a wild price spree will be BOOM AND BUST. The boom and bust cycle leads only to bankruptcy. WE common, everyday people can HELP in this situation. If we will buy from those who are doing everything they can to hold prices down, and RE FRAIN FROM BUYINO from the chiseler fringe that wants all the traffic will bear RIGHT NOW and to hell with the fu ture, we can aid tremendously in getting the country back to a normal economy. Probe Reveals Big War Fees WASHINGTON, July 2 UP) A government accountant told the senate war investigating committee today that four men voted tnemselves salaries total ing $1,380,120 in a 42-month period as officers of a maze of firms handling war contracts. this is war proiuecring at its worst," exclaimed Chairman Mead (D-N.Y.) after hearing the testimony by Edward Schaeter, chief of the government's gen eral accounting office in Chica go. The committee is investigat ing the war profits of 19 Illinois concerns forming what Mead has described as a "sprawling paper empire. Schaefer testified the salary figures were culled from the rec ords of the 19 firms in which the four had an interest. He said they showed these totals: A. B. Gellman, $505,709: Jo reph T. Weiss, $484,705; Henry M. Garsson, $228,000: Murray W. Garsson, $161,686. In addition, Rae Weiss, moth er of Joseph Weiss and Gell man's mother-in-law, - was,, re ported to have received salaries totalling $142,671. while Bertha Gellman, was listed for $148, 671. The figure for Joseph F. Greeman, Washington represen tative of the companies, was set at $113,625 for the period from the beginning of 1942 through June. 1945. Schaefer did not have the fig ures after payment of taxes. Angrily, Mead declared that the figures disclosed "an evil procedure that must not be tol erated, and should not have been tolerated. For one man to make so much while so many were making sacrifices is des picable."

July 2 tVI The special sub-commit tee of the United Nations atomic energy commission went into its second secret session today in its effort to make progress on the urgent task of assembling an atomic control charter. The same committee mem bers who attended the first meeting yesterday were present as the session began. The six men on the sub-committee were pushing slowly ahead on their mission In a re ported atmosphere of complete frankness and good understand ing. An authoritative source who would not permit Identification snld the first meeting yesterday afternoon saw a down-to-earth, frank discussion, with no acri mony. This source said the Russian member of the sub-committee, Andrei A. Gromyko. wnntcd to work on an atomic treaty as a whole in accordance with a pro posed convention Russia laid before the atomic energy com mission in presenting its plan for turning atomic weapons In to atomic aids to peace. In contrast, it was reported, the American view was ad vanced that a treaty should be considered step by step. Voluntary Rent Curbs Asked Here (Continued from Page One) there have been few landlord demands for skyrocket rents, al though Justice of the Pence J. A. Mahnncy has been deluged with calls from persons asking about the legality of increased rents. In Oregon a 30-day notice must be given before a rent boost can be made, and also 30 days notice must be given be fore a landlord can evict a ten ant. But if the tenant is 10 days behind in his rent, he can be moved out, legally. since tne death ot the OPA there has been no general up swing of retail prices in this area. The Klamath Merchants' association is meeting this after noon to discuss holdinc orlces in line, and the feeling among mer chants is that prices will remain at OPA levels as long as possi ble. Present supplies of goods were bought at ceiling prices and in general will be sold at the ceiling price. Most sporting goods were already clear of the OPA and have not gone up. Res taurants are serving meals for the same price, groceries report no cnanse at an. Competition in retail busmen is still keen and, as one busi ness man put it this morning, merchants as a whole are not going to chisel. No Lumber Rail R. R.

Hitchcock explained to the council lhat tho (Hers did not Intend to take an arbitrary view, but only wanted to be heard and have their side of the mutter considered. The present rote amounts to a $1000 fee fur licenses to oper ate schools, a 21 per cent tax on sales and a $:il)0 fee for com mercial planes. Hitchcock added that the air port, as nearly as cun be esti mated, will have a gross Income this year of $80,0110, and over $0000 of that figure will be paid by the operators In dues under the present set-up. Burden on Operators He added that almost the en tire burden falls on the private I operators, saying that tho field of aircraft operation here is a definitely new thing, and no one Li In a position to know how it will work out. The fliers asked that the rates be scaled down only until It is known that tho present rate can be Justified by tho profit. Cliff Honor took the floor, say ing that the average business man on Main street pays some thing l(ke 2i or 3 per cent (or rental. "Business can't survive If It pays over 3 per cent rentul," he said. Addressing the council, Lloyd Derby stated that he Is not an operator, but a private flier. "I have no axe to grind," he said. "I'm Just here to offer a plea that churges be kept down to allow operators to exist." Cy Wallan of Wallans Flying service, added his views, declar ing, "It would be utterly impos sible lor my operation to no ahead. I know I don't like Klam ath Falls enough to dig Into my own pocket to make it pay." At this point Mayor Ed Oaten- dorf suggested a meeting of the operators at 11 a. m. today, with the airport commission. The general consensus among the operators today was Unit they will do everything possible to get the rates lowered, and it was a subject of discussion at a meet ing of the chamber of commerce airport committee this afternoon at 4 p. m. Results of the session will be made known tomorrow. Free Record Copies Requested By VFW CORVALLIS. July 2 () Resolutions urging the state legislature to provide for free certified copies of public docu ments and to pass laws legitima tizing certain marriages were passed by the state encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars here today. The first resolution was neces sary, It was declared, because tho attorney general has ruled that such copies cannot be Issued free. The veterans took the stand that many needy veterans and widows were not able to pay for such documents and could not obtain their rightful benefits until they could furnish such copies. The marriage resolution was aimed to legitimatize any marriages contracted through no fault of the parties involved within the prohibited period fol lowing divorce.
