'Full Jails' Foreseen By Coffee Man WASHINGTON, July 31 (!) Paul A. Olson, former secretary to Rep. Coffee (D-Wush.), told the senate war Investigating committee today that "the Jails of America are going to be filled" If the Justice depurtmont enforcea a law burring govern ment contractors from making campaign contributions. "I wurn you. you are tread ing on very delicate grounds." ho told Senator Ferguson (It Mich.) in an angry exchange over the Interpretation of the law. Specifically at point wus how It affected a $2500 cheek which Coffee received In 1941 from a Tucoma, Wash., defense controctor. Tho six-year-old statute car ries a penally of 13000 fine or Imprisonment up to five ycura for violation. Olson muintulned thut there Is nothing In the law burring a nerson holding a government contract from making a person al contribution from his per sonal funds a contention with which Ferguson sharply dis agreed. Farguson Contention Ferguson also contended that the law applies to those who solicit a cuinpulgn contribution from a government contractor. "If they (the Justleo deport ment officials) had enforced that law," Olson commented, "there would have been many thou sands of Indictments involving a good many federal elected of flclula who Innocently accepted campaign contributions." Olson said that Eivlnd An derson, the Tucoma contractor who sent the $2300 check, tried to blackmull him Into with drawing Inst January from the race for mayor of Tacoma. Anderson told hlin, Olson tes tified, that unless he withdrew from tho mayor'a race in which they were both entered, Ander son "would use the check to In luro me in some way In the March election." Ferguson produced a letter marked "confidential and per sonal" which Olson wrote "Deer Elvlnd" on Muy 11. 1041.

Dragoosaid today that Mlsi Jacqueline Col burn, 10, an Invalid confined to a wheelchair, had related that she shot and stabbed to death her' stepfather, Lawrence Bar rcgarye, 36, in their home last night following a family quar rel.

They said they were moved to Potsdam late the night of their arrest, all their movements while jln custody being in completely blacked out automobiles. Throughout their detention they were kept separated and were questioned separately by the Russians. Cobin, who was born in Russia, said he was questioned entirely in Russian. Both men said they had re peatedly requested the Russians to notify American authorities of their whereabouts. "They told us," Cobin added, "that they would do so 'when your identity has been estab lished.' " Cobln said he was repeatedly questioned about his connection with the Berlin documents center, where old nazl party files and other records are kept.

The hearing will be on - a petition for a writ of mandamus, ap plied for by the OPA. The OPA declares the Port land judges refused to let OPA attorneys file a treble damage action. With the two Judges, the Portland federal court clerk, Lowell Mundorff, was also in structed to attend the hearing, which has the elements of a test case. , The OPA is testing a rule set by the Oregon federal court de clining to hear "any civil action instituted by or on behalf of the United States, or depart ment or officer, or any non-corporate agency, unless the U. S. attorney . . . shall appear in such action as one of the attor- I ncys for the government. Officers asked them if being sent to Rus sia was considcreu punishment, and they smiled." Cobin said that the Russians also "tried to establish some thing against me that would give them tne right to send me bucK to Russia, because 1 was born in Lithuania when it was part of Russia." Helm, who was present at the conference, declared that the Russians as well as all other oc cupying powers had tree access to the document center on re quest and that the Russians had used part of the old German army records it contains. Cobin said that during his interrogation by Russian officers some of them made remaras about the British "which I can't repeat in public". He quoted one Russian officer as saying: ."I can see how we Russians can come to an eventual under standing with the A'.iericans, but with the British well, the out look is dark." Cobin said that both he nnd Wyatt "expected to be punished by American army authorities for taking off into the Soviet zone without leave and without the required written permission from the Russians."

OPA lips Tops On Machinery WASHINGTON, July 31 (JPh In its first official action under the new price control law, OPA today authorized an average six per cent increase in retail ceil ings for all farm machinery and replacement parts. The increase, effective immed iately, restores dealers' peace time profit margins as required by the OPA revival act. OPA had reduced the margins of retailers last May 10 when it granted a 10 per cent increase in manufacturers' and wholesal ers' price ceilings. in the case of farm machin ery, retailers were required to absorb half of this while on re placement parts they had to ab sorb the full 10 per cent in crease. The 10 per cent price boost previously granted to manufac turers and wholesalers' distrib uters remains .unchanged under today s action. OPA also restored the two per cent handling and transfer charge for distributors. This had been eliminated under the old law. In the offing is a boost in cot ton clothing prices. OPA has agreed to raise textile ceilings an average of about 16 per cent. Prophetic Sketch Published Again LONDON.

Truman Signs Judges' Raise WASHINGTON, July 31 W President Truman today signed legislation raising the salaries of the nation's 300 federal judges by S5000 a year. The raise blankets the federal judiciary, from district judges to the chief justice of the United states. Thus, Chief Justice Vinson will get $25,500 annually and the associate justices S25.000. Pay of circuit court judges goes up to $17,500, and that of dis trict judges to $15,000. One constitutional effect of the bill is to ban appointment of present members of congress to the federal judiciary until next January, at the earliest.

Fox said the man was Robert Horner, a 48-year-old barber, and the dead woman was Ger trude (Jerry) Horner, 32. He said the two had been sep arated and that Horner was seek ing a reconciliation.

July 31 OP) Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Moiotov, in a speech to the Paris peace conference today, called upon democratic countries of the world to put an end to the Franco regime of Spain. Addressing the conference, called to confer on the peace that is to be written in burope with Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Hun gary and Finland, Moiotov said: "If we have still to deal with the question of the fascist regime in spam, then tne time must not be too distant when democratic countries will be able to help the Spanish Deople who groan under Franco's regime to put an end to this survival bred by Hit ler and Mussolini which is dan gerous to the cause of peace." It still remains to deal with the fascist regime in Spain," he continued. "It is in the interest of freedom loving people to de mand action against fascism." Russia emerged today as the principal beneficiary of proposed peace treaties which would strip Italy. Finland and beaten Ger many's Balkan satellites of their military power, redraw their frontiers and charge them at least a billion dollars In repara tions. The treaty drafts presented to the 21-nation peace conference last night by the big four agreed upon substantial territorial in creases for the Soviet Union, upon payment of $800,000,000 in reparations to Russia and left Russia's domination of eastern Europe intact. In certain disputed sections of the treaty drafts, however, it seemed apparent that the west ern powers intend to try to whittle down some of the Rus sian gains in the east, at least in economic matters. The United States and Britain want the vital Danube river opened to trade on a basis of complete equality, while Russia wants nothing said in any of the treaties about freedom of naviga tion on the Danube. The three western members of the big four also want "most favored nation" status for. all allied nations in commercial dealings with the five defeated nations, while Rus sia would exempt all fields closed to private enterprise and would make exceptions for neighboring states. i Bulletin Frederick W.

Fox gave this version of the multiple shooting: Horner pushed his way through lunch hour throngs to the store's crowded basement lunch counter, where his wife was a waitress. With his auto matic shotgun he fired a blast at his wife and she fell mort-.l:y wounded, while horror-stuck shoppers looked on. Traffic Officer C. R.

Five persons were wounded, one seriously. Love then dropped Horner with three bullets in the chest. Horner had turned the gun on the officer when the latter fired.
