Court Meets On 30 Cases WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Sunrcme Court reconvenes todu) after its holiday recess with de cisions awaited in some 30 cases Involving espionage, race conflict, citizenship and other issues. Later in the week, the nine jus tices will hear arguments on the constitutionality of the 1957 civil rights law, which permits the federal government to enforce Ne gro voting rights. Attorney Gen eral William P. Rogers will rep resent the government. Federal Judge T. Iloyt Davis of Americus, Ga ruled last April that the statute was unconstitu tional. Among the more important cases up for decision is the dis pute between the United States and five Gulf Coast states over New Boundary Bisects Dam SALEM, Ore. (AP) Maybe the new Oregon-Washington bound ary isn't in the right place after all. The Oregon Committee on Inlcr itale Cooperation has found that the new boundary would bisect the power house at John Day dam on the Columbia River. It wants to talk to Washington stale offi cials about it. The new boundary was adopted In 1058, using fixed points along the river. The old boundary was the shifting channel of the river. John Day Dam now is under construction. ownership of the rich offshore oil lands. The government wants state ownership confined to a three-mile belt around the coast line. The states claim as far oul lo sea as three leagues, or 10'i miles. Decisions arc due in race cases involving 1037 tax ordinances of Little Rock and North Little Rock Ark., which require local NAACP groups to reveal their member ship lists, and an attempt by Ne groes to play on a Greensboro, N.C., golf course restricted to white use. Arguments also have been heard on the appeal of Col. Rudolf Ivanovlch Abel, Soviet Agent con victed of espionage in New York in 1957. Abel argued that the gov ernment violated the constitution's guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures. A group of cases vitally import ant to the military services ill determine whether the 41)0,- 000 dependents and other civilians living abroad with the armed forces are subject to trial by court-martial for non-capital of fenses. The court previously has ruled that in cases involving the death penalty dependents must be given a civilian trial. In another personal liberties case, the high court has been srked to decide whether Congress can lake away the citizenship of a native-born American if he goes abruad to escape military service.

U7 fa. MH. ma ENTER RECORD BREAKING CONTEST Adlai Draft Is Organized By United Press International A nationwide drive to draft a reluctant Adlai E. Stevenson for the Dcniocratic presidential nom ination is underway and has. pro grossed to the organized stage in at least five states, a survey re vealed today. Groups aiming at enlisting the twice-defeated presidential candi date for a third-attempt have been forced in Wisconsin, Missou ri, Ohio, California, and Texas. Other Stevenson movements also were brewing in Oregon and Kansas, and the national drive was reported forming groups in New York City and Washing ton, D.C. But the majority of states re ported that even if there is con siderable sentiment (or Stevenson, most Democrats feel it more ex pedient to back a candidate who has not lost twice in seeking the nation s highest office. The reluctance of top Demo crats to support Stevenson mir rors nis own reluctance lo run again, despite mounting pressure "I'm getting more pressure now than I did in 1951 and 1955 from individuals and groups," Steven son told newsmen at Savannah, Ga., last Dec. 11. lie nas rcpeaietny urged an Oregon draft Stevenson commit tee lo scuttle attempts to petition lor 1.000 signatures and quality under a new law for placing Ste venson s name on the May 20 presidential primary. "1 have said repeatedly that I'm not a candidate for the Dcm ocralic nomination, and that hope my friends will respect mv wishes and not enter me in the Oregon primary," he said last Oct. 2 in Chicago. But backers at scattered points across the nation continue boom ing Stevenson, hoping at least to drum' up enough support for nom ination at the Democratic nation al convention in case cither John S. Kennrdy of Massachusetts or Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Wiscon sin lose out or fall into a dead lock. Jessel Picks Symington For President NEW YORK (AP)-Georgie Jes sel nominated Stuart Symington for president Sunday night, and Joey Adams promised to run his campaign. But the senator said not one word about politics. He talked about Israel. The Missourian, who is being billed as a possible dark horse at the Democratic convention, rushed up from Washington to help honor Jennie Grossinger, a Catskill Mountain innkeeper, who has a medical center in Israel named for her. Before appearing at the Astor Hotel dinner sponsored by Hista drut, the Israel labor federation, Symington told reporters he wasn't planning to announce any political intentions that night or any night soon.' But he had no sooner got up on the dais along with Eddie Fisher, Elizabeth. Taylor and Harry Bela- fonte and' taken his scat along side Carmine De Sapio, Demo cratic national committeeman. than Jessel was calling him "Mr. resident." Symington was introduced by Abraham Fcinbcrg of New York City, chairman of the board of trustees of Brandeis University, Waltham, Mass., who said that 'there are those of us who believe that the inexorable force of that which we call the democratic way may call him to higher office and greater responsibility." Then Symington made a chatty speech about the trip to Israel from which he just returned "Something I wanted lo do a long time a thrilling, delightful ex perience." He said he was impressed with the courage and vision he found among the Israelis "more than any other country I have ever been in." edict, former president of the Remington Typewriter Co., had objected to the girl's seeing Porum beanu, whom she met last summer at Mrs, Bulova s Long Island home. Police said the break in the case came when an official of the -Cos mopolitan Shipping Co. reported the couple had sailed on the Edga. The official said Miss Benedict and Porumbeanu occupied separ- te cabins during the 10-day cross ing. The Benedict family attorney, Robert Hoffman, said he might go to Europe to try to return Miss Eenedict. A friend of Porumbeanu, Miron Bulariu, said Porumbeanu is the son of a Romanian colonel and is separated from his wife, who lives here. They have a daughter, fiutariu said. Porumbeanu was last seen Dec. 30 when he checked out of a rooming house near Miss Benedict's home and told his landlady he was leaving to marry the girl. Butariu said Porumbeanu en listed in the U.S. Air Force and, after an honorable discharge, at tended Columbia University on the GI bill. Later he held a job with the Standard Oil Co. Last summer Mrs. Bulova hired him as chauf feur-butler at her Southampton home. Butariu, who works for the As sembly of Captive European Na tions, said Porumbeanu told him: "I'm in love with a society girl. 'I his time I'll do better in mar riage than before. I'm in love with a truly beautiful girl." Butariu said Porumbeanu's wife Hclma, had worked here as a clerk in an advertising agency Miss Benedict, who made her debut at the Cotillion Ball Dec 21, was a freshman at Briarcliff College. Her mother, the former Josephine Benedict, died of an overdose of sleeping pills in 1946. The girl's father, Dr. J. Douglass Sharpe, a psychiatrist, signed away his share of his wife s estate after her death. He tried later to regain his share. Miss Benedict and her brother, Douglas, 19, have lived with their grandmother since their mother's death. FIGHTS OWN FIRE GROVEVILLE, N.

PRINCE HOSTS PARTY LONDON (UPI) - Prince Charles, 11-year-old heir to the British throne, held his first cock tail party last week, a London newspaper reported. The Empire News said beer and spirits were served at the Sandringham Castle party for ad ults which was held with the Queen's consent. SALEM (AP) George Brown, political education director of the Oregon AFL CIO, urged that Oregon pass a law to prevent struck industries from- using pro fessional strikebreakers. Brown, appearing at a hearing before the Legislature's Labor Management Committee, said that I use of strikebreakers threatens to break down collective bargaining, with harm to the state's economy. He told the committee, and the standing-room-only crowd of 250 persons,, that professional strike breakers are being used at Port land by The Oregonian and Ore gon Journal, which have been publishing a joint edition since a stereotypers strike started two months ago. Other unions ob served the picket line. Brown said that if "importation of professional strikebreakers is ailowed to continue, it can spread to every industry in the state, and can only, lead to a breakdown of negotiations. "The result would be chaos, put ting an end to collective bargain ing, and returning to the law of the jungle." Brown said Oregon could not attract new industry under such chaos. He said the "importation of pro fessional strikebreakers by The Oregonian and Journal is a his toric departure from historic. peaceful collective bargaining. Brown agreed it is all right for a struck employer to try to con tinue operation but not by import ing strikebreakers. Other AFL-CIO witnesses testi fied that there are organizations which supply . strikebreakers to struck newspapers, paying them premium wages. Rene J. Valentine, Indianapolis Ind., international representative of the International Typographical Union, testified about strikebreak ers in other cities, asserting that Justin Smith Morrill, statesman of . Vermont, was responsible for the federal government. some of the new employes of the Portland newspapers have broken strikes in other cities. He said a New York state investigating com mittee has found that it is not in the public interest to import strikebreakers. Gerald E. Gish, Cleveland, Ohio, now a member of the Typograph ical Union, said he was a strike breaker from 1955 to 1957. He said he worked in Oklahoma City, Bristol, Pa., and Grand Junction, Ohio. He said he usually got $300 a week plus expenses, but that he had made as much as $627 a week. Gish said the organizations which supply strikebreakers usu ally know six months to two years ahead of time when there will be a strike. The hearing was requested by the labor unions. jiumuutiuuimmmuunimuuii Give Yourself A Real Treat! j TRY OUR BUFFET LUNCH j SERVED FROM NOON TILL i j PONDEROSA ROOM j WILLARD HOTEL i tllllltlllllllltllllllHIIHIIIIIIIItllllllli t !
