The 51-year-old German was sen tenced to serve 10 years in a labor camp if he is ever found. He escnped from an Internment camp at Dachau last February 4. The German court reached Its verdict after a five-hour trial made conspicuous by the absence of not only Kuhn but also of his lawyer and witnesses. The trial wns carried out entirely by the presentation of documents which purported to show that Kuhn hnd close ties with Hitler's third Germnn relch nnd that he hnd tried to trnnsDlnnt its ideology Into the United Stntrs. For his activities. In thr United States. Kuhn got Into trouble and wns convicted of embezzling the funds of his own bund. Then he wns deported to his na tive Munich.

Hazeltlne reported the rancher's clothing was found along the banks of the liver after three men were arrested driving Smith's truck.

Trie sheriff said the three men told him this story: They and Smith had a few drinks In Dayvllle Friday, decided to drive to the John Day river for a swim. At the bank, the three got out of the truck, and when they returned 8m had vanished. In jail under $5000 bail each are Ray R. Rattan. 39, and Robert R. Owaltney, 36. both of near Mitchell, and Elmer Powell. 60. of Baker. The sheriff said they were arraigned yes terday on charges of larceny of an automobile and theft of personal be longings of Smith. Search for the rancher got under way when the three were arrested by state police at a traffic checking station. Smith lived on a rattle ranch tn the Antone area of Wheel er county.

Lewis rsraprd a Jail aenlenra today but was flnrd $20,000 prroonally and his t'nitrd Mine Worker! $1,400,000 for contempt of court. Judge T. Alan Goldsborough accepted a government recommenda tion for those fines, but said it had been his own inclination to send Lewis to Jail. FINES OOI'BLED The fine are just double what the bushy-browed I'MW chief and his miners had to pay after they similarly were found guilty In 1946 of contempt of court for ignoring a court's stop-suike order. Then Goldsborough flnrd Lewis $10,000 and the union $3,500,000, but the "supreme court cut the union's fine ta $700,000. The fines Goldsborough Imposed today were only for criminal contempt The Judge granted a government motion to consider a penalty for civil contempt against Lewis and the union on Friday. Lewis and the union each were held guilty by the Judge yesterday of both civil and criminal contempt. Assistant Attorney General Graham Morlson told reporters after the court hearing that the reason for delaying the civil contempt sen tencing until Friday was to exercise a club over Lewis and the union to get all the miners back to worK. He said another heavy line ana HST Nominates Lilienthal WASHINGTON, April 20 iPi President Trumnn todny nominated Chairman David E.

Fishing Fleet Heads North SEATTLE, April 20 (IP) Doughty fishing vessels upped anchor In a dozen West coast ports today to head for Alaska waters in an open scramble for choice locations on the North Pacific halibut grounds. A record armada of 600 ships, in cluding 180 from Seattle. Is expected to be dispersed throughout the area when the International fisheries commission officially opens the hali but season at 12:01 a. m. i local time) May 1. Jockeying for locations on the banks developed through failure of various ports to agree on staggered starting times by splitting the fleet as in past years. The plan, devised to prevent con gestion of the market, was disrupted last year by Seattle's prolonged dis pute over catch shares. Fishermen here said an accord could not be reached this spring with Alaskan ports for resumption of the staggered schedule. Most stateside vessels will take on ice and bait at Ketchikan and then stand by until next Mondav when fifhing licenses become vnlid. This will permit a race for the halibut grounds' best spots before the season opens. Librarian To Be Rotary Speaker LAKEVIEW.

Dewey an nounced today he would campaign for the republican presidential nomination in Oregon for at least 10 days, beginning with a speech in Portland Mny 1. Dewey will fly from New York City to Portland on April 30 and ar rive several hours before he is scheduled to address the annual convention of the Oregon state Junior chamber of commerce. Dewey also announced that he would visit some other states in the Pacific Northwest. He will not go Into California, however. His prac tice has been not to invade a state that has a strong favorite son can didate. Governor Earl Warren of Califor nia is one of the five avowed can dldntes for the GOP presidential nomination. It Is expected that Dewey will re main In the Northwest for approx imately three weeks and that he will visit Washington, Montnna and pos sibly Nevnda. even a jail penalty agaiast wis is possible if all the miners are not back at work by thai time. "The idea Is to provide lime to see what they will do by Friday," Mor lson said. Asked specifically if the Justice department may recommend Jail for Lewis if part of the miners are still out Friday. Morison said: "We might." Immediately after Goldsborough acted. AFL President William Green issued a statement saying that pun ishment of labor or labor leaders lor exercising the right to stop work "will cause resentment in the minds of those directly concerned and by those who are indirectly affected. Green added: "The best interests of the govern ment would be served if its repre sentatives would stop immediately their attempt to prosecute and pun ish the mine workers and their lead ers and instead concentrate their efforts toward bringing about full production in sufficient volume to meet the maximum national needs." During the entire court proceed ings, Lewis sat stolidly, with scarce ly s single motion. Once or twice his heavy Jowls twitched. - When Morison concluded. Welly K. Hopkins, the union's lawyer, told the judge such fines as the govern ment suggested would inflict "grevi ous injuries" on the miners. He said the panlties asked for "were without parallel." Speaking of the miners, Hopkins said. "I say to .the government they are not second-rate citizens." He added: "There's no caste system of un touchables as yet." Hopkins said the government harped repeatedly on the letter Lewis sent the mine operators Feb ruary 2 telling them the union re served the right to take "independ ent action" because there had been no agreement on miners' pensions. He asked: "Why does the government bear down so heavily on the message of February 2. addressed not to the union but to the operators and made public by the operators?" "The right of tree speech existed on February 2. The right of free speech existed on March 12." (March 12 was the date when Lewis mes saged the miners their contract was "dishonored.") Hopkins asked the court. "Who is there to say that on the morning of April 3 of this year that there was any violation of any law, when the defendants addressed a report to the men of this union?" 'Lewis sent a letter to the mem bership saving tl.cy were Independ- CantintiFd on rax t. Column SI Britain Gets Major Slice OfERPFunds WASHINGTON. April 20 M" Britain is due for a $1,324,300,000 slice of the $5300.000.000 European recovery program, congress learned today. . The next biggest aid allotments all of them tentative, are: $1,130. 800.000 to France, $703,600,000 to Italy $599,600,000 to The Netherlands and $431,400,000 t' the U. S. - British zones of Western Germany. In translating the dollars Into the. things Western Europe needs most to regain its economic feet, the re covery program planners expect to spend $957,200,000 lor grain. $511, 300.000 for cotton. $379,700,000 for petroleum and $110500,000 for to bacco. These and many other long-secret figures were submittedto the house appropriations committee by Paul G. Hoffman, economic aid adminis trator. They were made public by the committee as it summoned Hoff man to a closed door session to de termine how much money congress should make available for the actual operation of the program. In passing the European recovery act earlier this month, the law makers simply gave the go-ahead signal, leaving the issue of funds to be decided later. But to provide quick start, congress said the re construction finance corporation could put up $1,000,000,000 that sum to be repaid later out of the ERP appropriation. Also, of the total, another $1,000. 000.000 is to be raised by Export Import bank bond issues. And before congress got around to acting finally on the recovery bill, it approved $55,000,000 stopgap advance to keep earlier supply lines to Europe filled. That brings down to $4,245,000,000 the amount Hoffman now is asking the appropriations committee to ap prove. Chairman Taber IR.-N.Y.) said the hearings mav Inst several weeks.
