NEW YORK (APi-The father

lighted at getting his infant daugh
ter back unharmed that he balked
for a time today at signing a com
plaint against the baby's alleged
kidnaper.'
The father. Frank Chionchio, a
28-year-old lawyer, ohanged his
mind and agreed to sign after a
conference in the chambers of a
Brooklyn magistrate and a subse
quent telephone conversation with
his wife.
Jean Iavarone, a widowed moth
er of eight who is accused of kid
naping the child hi a plan to trap
a new husband, waited in a deten

The political situation boiled
down to essentials:
The congress is assembling and
getting down to business.
The Oregon legislature is as
sembling and getting down to busi
ness. The California legislature is as
sembling and getting down to busi
ness. The Washington legislature is
assembling and - getting down to
business.
They all need MORE MONEY.
At the same time
It can be stated on reasonably
good authority that the average
taxpayer could use a little more
money.
What's the prospect?
It seems likely that some com
promises are in order.
A thought in conclusion:
Every dollar that is taken out
of the taxpayer's pocket in the
form of taxes is a dollar he doesn't
have left to spend.

Mrs. Iavarone's attorney, Jo
seph Fontana of Brooklyn, said he
would ask for a complete mental
examination of his client when she
is arraigned.
The 43-year-old bleached blonde
was booked Monday on a charge
of taking Lisa Rose Chionchio
from St. Peter's Hospital Jan. 2
when the infant was 2'i hours
old.
Her bail hearing in Brooklyn
Felony Court was put off until
today. Conviction on the charge
carries a possible prison sentence
of 20 years to life.
The motive for the kidnaping,
police said, was Mrs. Iavarone's
desire to pressure a boy friend,
Joseph Pizzimenti, into marriage
by having him believe he was the
father.
The intense search for the child
ended Sunday night. Police and
FBI agents, directed by a tele
phoned tip, found the baby in Mrs.

herself the night of Jan. 2.
Medical evidence contradicted
her claim. Blood tests, the baby's
footprints and a physical exami
nation of Mrs. Iavarone estab
lished the baby's identity and
ruled out the woman s story, po
lice said.
Before the results of the medi
cal tests were made known, the
infant's father, Frank, '28, joyfully
made positive identification from
a small birthmark over the left
eye and, he said, "her beautiful
hands and feet."
The baby, in good health, was
returned Monday to the arms of
her happy, tearful 26-year-old
mother, r ranees. In a jubilant re
union at St. Peter's Hospital, the
mother said it was the happiest
day of her life.
The infant, who had gained one
ounce over her seven pounds at
birth, had received good care in
the first nine days of her life
The Chionchio family expressed
compassion for the alleged kid
naper and renewed a pledge made
while the baby was missing that
she could visit the child.
Neighbors generally described
Mrs. Iavarone as "a nice person.'
Detectives quoted Mrs. Iavarone
as naming Pizzimenti, owner of a
fruit and vegetable store, as the
infant's father and as saying she
had lived with him several months
last summer.

Halts Paying
Of State Bills
SALEM (AP) The state of
Oregon was unable to pay its
bills today as the dispute over
who is secretary of state ap
peared.far from settlement.
Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton
and attorneys for Gov. Mark Hat
field had not reached agreement
today on how the matter should
be presented to the state Su
preme Court.
State Treasurer' Sig Unander
served notice that no slate war
rants should be drawn by the
secretary of state's office until
the supreme- court decides who
the secretary of state is.
Gov. Hatfield announced the
appointment Monday of Howell
Appling, 39, Portland implement
dealer, as the new secretary of
slate.
But outgoing Gov. Robert D.
Holmes already had appointed
David O'Hara, retired chief of the
state elections division.
Hatfield's attorneys said they
had expected to bring the suit
Monday afternoon. Orval Thomp
son, legal advisor- to ex -Gov.
Holmes, had been expected to be
attorney lor O Hara, but Thomp
son stepped out of the picture
Monday because he was not the
governor s legal adviser any
more.
Consequently, .the Hatfield law
yers had to start negotiations
with Thornton, who will repre
sent O'Hara.
Today it had not even been de
termined who would sue. Thorn
ton said the plan of the Hatfield
lawyers to bring the suit was un
acceptable to him.
Meanwhile, Appling occupied
the secretary of state's office
but he couldn t pay the state s
bills.

In Executions
HAVANA, Cuba (AP)-The ex

Castro s military courts continue
to exact vengeance for violence
attributed to supporters of fallen
Dictator Fulgencio Batista.
At least 145 persons had been
reported executed between Ba
tista's flight on Jan. 1 and Mon
day night. More speedy trials
were under way. Including hear
ings for possibly 100 prisoners in
Oriente province.
The toll took a big jump Mon
day when revolutionary firing
squads reportedly shot 75 persons
near Santiago, capital of Oriente,
where Castro's rebellion was cen
tered and antirebel repression was
strongest.
Officials of the provisional gov
eminent claimed all cases were
being fully investigated, but other
wise there was no information on
the trials of the condemned men
Apparently, most were being held
in secret, and by military courts
rather than by the revolutionary
courts the new regime has said
would be established to try war

Debate Rules
WASHINGTON (AP)-The Sen
ate has changed its rule govern
ing debate, but the argument con
tinued today over how big a step
it had taken toward curbing fili
busters. "No gain at all," commented
Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-NY), one
of a group of Northern and West
em senators who had fought to
make it easier to throttle filibust
ers against civil rights bills and
other measures.
"A soothing syrup to lull the
conscience of America," was the
assessment of Sen. Paul H. Doug
las (D-111), ona of the leaders of
the bipartisan fight for a rules
change.
Some Southern senators protest
ed that the change any change
went too far.
But an overwhelming majority
of the Senate voted 72-22 for the
new rule to allow two thirds of
the senators present and voting to
cut off debate. A rule in effect
since 1949 had required the votes
of two thirds of the entire Senate
membership, or 66 of the 98 sena
tors.
The rules battle roared to its
climax Monday night with sena
tors in sharp disagreement over
what the effect of the new rule
will be.
But no one questioned that the
outcome was a spectacular tri
umph for Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson
of Texas, the Senate Democratic
leader.

WASHINGTON (API-President
Eisenhower told the new Republi
can leaders of Congress today his
77 billion doHar budget for the
new fiscal year contemplates a
surplus of about 100 million dollars.
House GOP Leader Charles A.
Halleck of Indiana told newsmen
there is hope of a tax reduction
in the next two or three years if
the heavily Democratic new Con
cress goes along with Eisenhow
er's spending and legislative programs.
The President's budget for the
fiscal year starting July 1 will go
to Congress next Monday. The
White House recently announced
it would be a balanced budget
calling for spending about 77 bil
lion dollars approximately two
billion less than in the current
year.
Today, senate Kcpuoncan Leaa

Eisenhower lnlormed the Gur

of about 100 million dollars.
In the current fiscal year a def
icit of about 12 billion dollars is
in prospect. This was Eisenhow
er's first meeting with the party's
congressional chiefs since election
of new leaders last week.
In advance of the White House
session Dirksen said he expected
only a general discussion of the
legislative program. He said there
was no arrangement to report to
Senate Republicans, who have yet
to set up their policy committee

1.000 greelers passed through re
ception lines for Gov. and Mrs.
Mark Hatfield Monday afternoon
and evening.
Another 275 showed up unex
pectedly at the residence of out
going Gov. Robert D Holmes.
The crowd at the reception for
the new governor stretched from
the governor's office into the
corridors. A chorus, organ, band
and bagpipers played in the cap
itol rotunda.
Holmes was almost overcome
with emotion by the appearance
of friends at his home. The
Holmes family had expected 25
or 30. They had 275 visitors and
a hand.
The band, the Royal Chinooks
from Holmes' home city of As
toria, slipped away from the Hal
field reception to entertain
Holmes.
At Holmes' request, the band
struck up with "When the Saints
Go Marching In."
It was the first time that any
body could remember such i
tribute to an outgoing governor
Usually, he's a forgotten man im

All of Hatfield's staff and their
wives were on hand for the new
governor's reception.
It was well alter 9 p. m. before
the Holmes family had a chance
to eat some dinner.
Holmes, who says he won't
seek public office again, told of
a phone call he received the day
after Hatfield defeated him.
It was from Harry Truman,
who said:
"You'll get over this defeat be

Soviet Proposals
Blasted By Dulles

of Germany are brutal and stupid
and Iraught with danger lor the
peace of huropc.
Dulles told a news conference
the United States and its Allies
stand linn on their basic policy
of tying a reunited Germany into
the western world.
But he also said, possibly for the
first time, that German unilication
might be accomplished by ways
other than through free elections
He declined to elaborate.
Dulles left no doubt he expects
to take a very firm line on the
German policy issue ivhen talk
ing with Soviet Deputy Premier
Anaslas Mikoyan here Friday. Af
ter the talk with Dulles, Mikoyan
will see President Eisenhower on
Saturday.
Dulles said he hopes the talks
with Mikoyan may eliminate the
dangers of miscalculations and
accidental mistakes between the
Soviet and U.S. governments but
he said the United States is not
negotiating with Mikoyan.
He left the way open, so far as
Ihe United States is concerned, for
the talks with Mikoyan and other
current diplomatic moves to lead
to later negotiations, possibly in
four-power foreign ministers
meeting.
Dulles said Ihe Uniled States is
prepared to accept a broad agen
da for such a conference but
would not accept a listing of sub
jects narrowed only to Russia
proposals.
This country has no new pro
posals to make to Mikoyan. Dulles
said. It is standing on a proposal
made by the Allied powers Dec.
31 for East-West talks on the Ger
man conference to be held in
Soviet proposals for the treaty
include barring German member-
hip m any alliance, especially the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion, and placing other rigid re
strictions on Germany's future.
It was of such proposals that
Dulles was speaking when he said
Russia and the Western powers
are completely opposed on their
basic approach to a solution of the
German problem.
West German Chancellor Kon
rad Adenauer has called the So
viet approach brutal, Dulles said,
adding that he himself and his
associates think it is worse than
that because it is stupid and it
will not work.

Halleck made the same statement
today.
Asked to define the foreseeable
future, Halleck said he thinks tax
cuts will be possible in two or
three years if Congress backs the
Eisenhower program.

from the Great Lakes into north

Moderate weather prevailed in
large areas from the Rockies to

Showers dampened Western sec

Considerable sunshine and gen

Mikoyan described himself, as
he has throughout his . United

between the U. S. and the Soviet
Union can best be resolved by
working closer together, especial
ly in trade.
Could the dispute over the
West's occupation of Berlin lead

"As far as we are concerned,
we do not want a war," Mikoyan
said through an interpreter. "But
it is up to the other side to keep
peace."
Earlier in the day, Mikoyan was

I don't know what' we will dis
cuss at this time," he said. "But
we will discuss everything that

Ex-Officer
Raps Police
The city council heard sharp
criticism leveled at the present
operation of the police department
by a former police officer at its
regular Monday night meeting.
Otis Melsker, 1755 Oregon Ave
nue, who staled he used to be a
member of the police department,
found fault with Ihe present oper
ation of the department, and sug
gested that the council reinstitule
foot patrols in the downtown area,
and go back to the use of motor
cycle patrolmen.
Mctskcr stated he had been ap
proached by panhandlers in the
vicinity between Eighth and
Ninth on Klamath Avenue a num
ber of times recently. He also
related an incident where a moth
er and child were afraid to go to
their car in the vicinity of the
same place because of men con
gregating in the area.
He stated that to his knowledge
he had seen ex-cons on the streets
and had not noted that they had
been picked up for vagrancy.
He also did not like the idea of
police cars being painted so the
public could identify them readily.
After listening to his complaints.
the council referred the matter to
the police commission for its con-
sidcration. Councilman Walter -
Fleet, chairman of the police com
mission, reported thai the patrol
men wore now out of their cars
about one-third of the time on beat
activity. He took issue with Mets
ker, pointing out that police cars
now patrol all areas of the city,
not just the downtown taverns as
in the past.
Incidentally, the police report
drunk arrests in December showed
a 100 per cent increase over 1957. -
There were 61 such arrests in De
cember 1957 as against 125 in De
cember of 1958.
Most of these arrests were of
the on-street variety. These had
increased from 27 in December
1957 to 105 for December 1958.
Persons who have failed or re
fused to pay their occupation tax
es for the year May 1, 1958 to
April 30, 1959, will be in for a
court test. The council passed a
resolution authorizing the city to
go into court to gain injunctions
against these persons which would
prevent them from doing business
or practicing their professions in
side the city limits until they have
paid their occupation tax.
City Attorney Henry Perkins re
ported only a few such instances,
but said that the resolution was
necessary to empower the city to
act promptly in cases of failure
or refusal to pay the tax.
