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."

Traditional western rodeo

the annual Fourth of July ob

The St. Paul rodeo and the
Molnlla buckeroo open tonight

At Baker the Oregon Trail Days
are to be ushered in tonight
with a horse show, to be fol

rodeo events.
The Albany timber carnival,
starting tonight with coronation
of a queen, takes on its western
tinge tomorrow with loggers'
competition in bucking, falling,
log rolling and allied events in
addition to tugboat races and
other features continuing
through the fourth.
In the Bend area a July 4 ro

Because the holiday comes

ALL over the country there is

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." Fire Crews Fight

passed by the state encampment
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
here today.
The first resolution was neces

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
