THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LXXIX., NO. 11,975 JUNEAU, ALASKA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1951 MEMBER A SSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS $100 Million Spent for Taff Says Opponent WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 — ® — Joseph T. Ferguson contended today that spending to rb-elect Senator Taft (R-Ohio) in 1950 could be figured at $100,000,000 — using the same approacht Taft did in putting costs of the Ferguson campaign at $2,000,000. Ferguson, Democrat who lost the election to Taft by 430,000 votes, fired back from the witness chair of a Senate Elections sub- committee at many of the state- ments Taft made from the same seat yesterday. A peppery little man, known as ‘Jumping Joe” in Ohio, Ferguson said it was a “deliberate lie” that the Democratic campaign was “blue- printed by a Communist by the name of Hall.” Taft had said that Communist Gus Hall wrote an ar- ticle in a Communist magazine which “blueprinted” the fight against his re-election. Ferguson commented: “The only Communist — or ex-Com- munist — who came into Ohio— that I know of—was Ben Gitlow who made several speeches for Mr. Taft.” As for Taft's charge of “carpet- baggers” (out-of-staters) engaging in the campaign, Ferguson said there were plenty on Taft's side. He ticked off the names of Sena- tor Wherry (R-Neb), Republican Nati nal Committee Chairman Guy Gal..icison, movie actor Adolphe Menjou, Harold Stassen, Senator Byrd (D-Va) and Senator Mc- Carthy (R-Wis). No- contest _is inyolved in the | present hearing. The elections | subcommittee is hearing testi- mony on the basis that it may be helpful in developing improved election laws. Each side in the Ohio contest charged the other wlth‘gxceuh! spending. Taft’ Was 1oL Prevcisy oo Terguson testified. He is in North Carolina| on a speaking tour.

Clash Reported Slansky: Is Fired, Arrested zrge Starled in Czecho- slovakia; Backfiring of Otis Case May Be Cause LONDON, Nov. 27—(#—Moscow- trained Rudolf Slansky, one-time hatchet man of Czechoslovak Com- munism, has been fired as vice pre- mier and arrested for “activities against the state,” the Prague radio announced today. The arrest was ordered by Com- munist President Kelement Gott- wald at the suggestion of Pre- mier Antonin Zapotocky, the an- nouncement said, because ‘“‘inves- tigations into activities of sub- versive groups” brought out facts that convict Slansky. Slansky was removed from his job as secretary-general of the Czechoslovak Communist Party last September in a move tied by west- ern observers to Moscow orders to the Czech Communists to tighten their ranks against inroads of “Titoism.” The announcement at that time said Slansky would get “another important state post,” but did not say what the post was to be. Govt. Shakeup The Czech government shakeup was believed to have been linked with growing unrest in Czechoslo- vakia at the rising demands of the ruling Communists for greater pro- duction to feed the Soivet war ma- chine. The demands on Czech ec- onomy created critical shortages and passive resistance among some of the “workers. An unedrground source reported from Czechoslovakia last month that | the Slansky ouster came because the Oatis case backfired. The Czech Communists imprisoned and con- victed Associated Press correspon- Aent. William N, Oatis as a ‘'spy,” | sentencing him to 10 years. The trial was denounced throughout the non-Communist world. Rofary Enferlained by High School Musicians Five members of the Juneau!

Lamar Caudle testified today that he and Charles Oliphant, chief counsel of the Internal Revenue Bureau, were Florida fishing guests of a North Carolina manufacturer under investigation for tax fraud Caudle told a House Ways and Means subcommittee he and Oli- phant flew to Palm Beach, Fla., in the summer of 1947 in a plane own- ed by Troy Whitehead of Char- lotte, N. C. The witness, fired recently by President Truman from his Justice Department post, denied that he knew a tax fraud cast was in the works against Whitehead June 25, 1947, “If T had known Mr. Whitehead was in tax trouble, I would never have invited Mr. Oliphant,” Caudle said. Today's testimony came as In- ternal Revenue Commissioner John B. Dunlap prepared to let loose with the biggest broadside yet in his announced drive to improve ef- ficiency and weed out employees “who have betrayed their high trust”. A fully informed official, declin- ing to be quoted by name, told a reporter several employees will be | ousted from offices not yet publicly linked tc e current series of fir- ings in the tax collection service. This source said Dunlap also will announce final decisions on most of the 14 employees who have been Isuspem:led in San Francisco and New York. Caudle testified also that “some time in March,” 1947, Whitehead sent his plane to Washington to take Caudle to Palm Beach, where he stayed with other members of a fishing party without expense at the Royal Poinciana Apartments. Caudle said others on the trip | were James Bennett, director of | federal prisons; T. A. McInerney, whom he identified as a public in- formotion officel .20 the. Justice | Department at the time; and I T. Cohen, Atlanta attorney who he said sometimes appeared in tax cases before the Justice Depart- ment. | said, free accommodation also was 1 provided in Palm Beach. On the second trip, along with { himself and Oliphant, Caudle said, | were: James M. Barnes, former ad- | ministrative assistant to the late President Roasevelt and now a Washington attorney; and a man he identified only as the United States attorney in Richmond, Vir- ‘ ginia. | Later Caudle told reporters he referred to Harry Holt, former U.S. attorney at Richmond. Caudle was excused from further testimony until tomorrow. (rippfed Bomber Is Brought Down To Safe Landing FORT WORTH, Tex., Nov. 27— (M—A skeleton crew guided a crip- pled B-36 bomber to a safe land- ing yesterday after. circling the iield 6% hours attempting to fix a damaged landing gear. All except three members of the 19-man crew parachuted before the giant plane came down. The 28-year-old pilot said a steady rain helped him land the plane safely. “But someone else was pulling for us, too, I think,” added Capt. Clarence F. Horton of San Antonio. The heavy-set pilot, a West Point graduate, made a tricky five-engine landing with the giant atom bomb carrier. All but one parachuted without serious injury. He was T-Sgt. Charles Kartoch- vil, Petersburg, Va., a gunner. X- rays were made to determine if he had a fractured leg. TWO WRANGELL MEN PAY FINES'IN GAME VIOLATIONS Two Wrangell men paid fines in U.S. Commissioner’s court at Wran- gell for alleged violations of Fish and Wildlife regulations, according to word received in Juneau from Monty Clemmons, agent in charge of that area. Faber S. Wondzell was fined $50 for stating he was a resident in his hunting license application when, Clemmons said, he was a non- resident. Eugene Neilson, of Wran- gell, was fined $200 and received a 30-day suspended sentence for kill- ing a doe deer. TO TULSEQUAH T. J. Ritchie of the Canadian Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co., is stopping over at the Gas- tineau Hotel enroute to Tulsequah. On the second trip, too, Caudle Soviel Bloc Silent on Big Four Meefing PARIS, Nov. 27—(P—The Soviet bloc remained silent today—possibly awaiting Moscow's decision—on pro- posed secret disarmament discus-, sions while the western Big Three appeared agreed that such talks would be useful in easing interna- tional tensions. The United States was expected to press for a time limit on any secret disarmament discussions that might result from the proposal of the Arab-Asian bloc at the United Nations meeting here to take the arms debate off the world soap box and put {t behind closed doors. The General Assembly’s politi- cal committee was to continue its discussion today of the west- ern proposal for a foolproof dis- armament plan. Elsewhere in the UN: 1. The United States denied Soviet sharges that the American Mutual Security Act constituted aggression against the USSR in the form of | fostering subversive activities. The U. S. said the only aim of the act was to aid refugees from behind the Iron Curtain. 2. The United States strongly supported Italian UN membership. Previous Italian applications have been vetoed by the Russians. 3. Yugoslavia concluded the list- ing of her charges against the Sov- iet Union. Minister of State Milo- van Djilas accused the Cominform countries of applying military, ec- onomic and political pressure on Yugoslavia and told the Assembly this endangered warld peace. | 4. Iran accused Britain of trying| to strangle Iran's economy and create conditlons which would let the British ‘“continue their exploi- tations of a poverty-stricken peo- ple.” The Ir: s said Pritain was | trying to s foreig investors away from Irag., Men Walk Ouf on Beard Hearings WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 — B — The Brotherhood of Locomotive| Firemen and Enginemen today walked out on hearings before a presidential emergency board saying that they were “doomed to failure” in advance. Attorney Harold C. Heiss repre- sents the union which has been in- volved in a two-year-old dispute over a forty hour week, higher pay; and resistance to operating rules changes sought by the carriers. He threw a bombshell into the proceed- ings today by announcing at the end of an opening statement that the union would go no farther in the proceedings. A quick recess was requested by Howard Neitzert, counsel for the carriers, who said they were taken by surprise. The three members of the board appointed by President Truman when the firemen threatened a na- tion-wide walkout on Nov. 8 also went into an immediate huddle. Heiss had attacked Mr. Truman'’s selection of the personnel of the three-man board as ‘“unfortunate.” The attorney said that one member, Andrew Jackson, of New York City, had been objected to in advance and the mediation board had been asked to never appoint him to any job having to do with a railroad dispute. | i P.E.O.

The council chairman, External Affairs Minister Lester B. Pearson of Canada, said he thought the “margin between (the two plaris) W&s not very great.” He described the plans as an effort to give a “push forward” to the move for the European army and for bringing in countries other than those belonging to the { North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion, presumably a reference to West Germany. Other developments today at the NATO meeting included: 1. A private breakfast at which Gen. Eisenhower entertained Brit- ish Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden.

United Nations delegates insisted on: 1. Joint Allied-Communist ins- pection teams with “free access to all parts of Korea.” 2. Provision . against buildups by either side. Neither point was included in a mulu'ry iplan proposed by the Reds, who have never permitted outsiders in Communist Korea, The differences developed in a sessfon described by the top Allied negotiator as “short and sweet.” The full five-man negotiating teams—all in full dress except for two drably cilad Chinese gen- erals—approved a cease-fire line agreement opening the way for an armistice within 30 days. Then they plunged into the next truce question. That is supervision of an armistice. Each presented its own The two plans were in general agreement on four points: (1) shoot- ing to stop when an 'armistice is signed; (2) a joint commission to supervise the truce; (8) all forces to withdraw from the buffer zone and enemy territory after the armistice is signed, and (4) 'armed troops to stay out of the buffer zone.
