Schoeppel asked whether he could he supposed that when he goes back to Minnesota now he will be asked “is Chapman a Communist?” “I thought it was an honor to be a Senator but this Congress ms} done an awful lot to undermine the | confidence of the American people,” | he declared. } Republicans Silent | Republicans kept publicly silent about the somewhat obvious discom- fiture of their Kansas colleague.

Bow, his Administrative Assistant, who is running for Congress in Ohio. He has said that Bow prepared much of the information on which he bas- ed his Senate speech against Secre- tary Chapman. The Cabinet member labelled as untrue and as “scandal mongering, insinuation and slander” Schoep- pel's assertions that he had not signed required loyalty oaths and that he was linked to subversive organizations. Chapman produced copies of loyalty affidavits he signed in 1941, 1946, 1947 and 1949. Chapman denied that he had anythilg to do with the retention of Randolph Feltus, a publicity man, to lobby for statehood for Alaska. Feltus denied the Senator's charge he had been “an agent of the Kremlin.” > Schoeppel, a freshman Senator who was making his first venture into a field where Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) preceded him with Com- munist in government charges aaginst State Department officials, puffed vigorously on his pipe while Chapman was testifying. Bow Enters Now Later Schoeppel told reporters that he had changed his original opinion of Chapman “in some res- pects” because the Cabinet member had “cleared up certain angles which I have been uncertain about.” Schoeppel said he had depended on assistants—principally Frank Bow, now a Republican candidate for Congress in Ohio—to gather the information and prepare the Senate speech in which he made the charg- es against Chapman. Bow is expected to be called for testimony next week. Democrats hope then to extract some more pub- licity from the affair. Schoeppel said he thought his statements were correct when he made his speech on Tuesday, but added: “I am not going to say they could not have checked more carefully.” Schoeppel said he never had any doubt about Chapman’s loyalty. When a reporter cited the Sen- ator’s charge that Congressional | Committee records showed a di- rect link between Chapman and cer- tain subversive organizations, the Senator replied: GOP Hatchetman “That could be taken probably as a little strong statement.” Democrats generally took this as| something of a retraction. Senator Lucas (D-IIl) told reporters he was “disappointed that my old friend Senator Schoeppel has permitted himself to become the hatchet man for Republicans.” Senator Humphrey (D-Minn) at- tacked the charges against Chapman as “irresponsible.” He told his col- leagues that a “junior Dick Track” tween the U.

Feltus' Salary Deal | Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo), the committee chairman, questioned Fel- tus on what he had done to earn a $1,500 a month salary and $500 a month expenses from the Alaskan statehood committee. The contract called for an addi- tional $1,500 a month payment for | his work in event an Alaskan state- hood bill was passed, Feltus said. He assured the committee he has agreed never to press that claim if a state- hood bill does pass.

Porter, for the purpose of organizing for an early Cub Scout program this fall. Cub Scouts of last year, were to contact any new boys interest- ed in Cub Scouting and report to the Rev. Porter who will then as- sign them to a Den. It was thought that three Dens will be necessary this year, with increase of young boys in the community. Cub Scout- ing ages begins at 8 years. Now, if you can't pitch, at least | have the decency to pass Mr. Kelly | the aspirin while the details are re- | counted. The Oaks did not score in the first | land last innings. But they did in lall the ones between, and seven | times in the third and seven more |in the sixth. There was a three-run homer by Earl Rapp, his 17th; a bases-loaded rountripper by Bobby Hofman, his | 12th; and one by Don Padgett, his | eighth. Padgett also got four singles to pace the attack. Oakland made 25 hits in all, in- cluding four each by Artie Wilson and Cookie Lavagetto. Sacramepto’s Bill Evans halted San Diego with five hits. Two homers by Frank Kelleher |and one by Jim Baxes gave Holly- 'wood the nod over San Francisco, | and Pete Mondorff the win over Harry Feldman. | Eddie (The Fiddle) Basinski's two- |run single brought Portland from behind in the eighth, enabling the ! Beavers to overcome the four runs Seattle racked up in the first two ! frames. Red Lynn picked up the tab | at Guy Fletcher's expense. SCHOOL ENROLLMENT UP There are 135 pupils enrolled in the Douglas Public Schools at the close of the first two days of school. This is an increase of two pupils over the enrollment at this time last year. The grade school had five pupils more than last year, and there were three students less in the high school.
