Grocer, lake $3.50

The proprietor of a Northeast
grocery reported to police he was
robbed of $3.50 today by two men
who bound and gagged him, re-
moved his eyeglasses and rum
mayed through his adjacent
home for several minutes.
Louis Perlman, owner Of the
J and S Market at 1901 Morse
street NE, told police one of
the men pulled a knife and
forced him to lie on the floor.
After he was bound and
gagged, one man took $35
from his pocket and found SIS
more in the cash register.
Then while one of the men
watched Mr.. Perlman, the other
began a tour of the premises. He
had time to find $125 hidden in
the kitchen downstairs.
Another $50 was found in one
of the upstairs bedrooms. Police
said it was obvious the men
knew their way around. They
knew Mr.. Perlman could not see
without his glasses, and they
inquired about and looked for a
diamond ring owned by Mr..
Perlman's wife Faye. She was
away at the time and had the
ring with her.
The robbers were described as
colored, 26 or % years old. one
about feet 5 inches and the
sother even shorter at feet 8, and
both weighing about lao pounds.

The Political Picture
By Gould Lincoln
Stor Staff Correspondent

PORTLAND. Oreg., October 8.
In their efforts to breach the
stout Republican wall which has
surrounded Oregon for many
years, the Democrats are count
ing on a battering ram named
Richard L. Neuberger.
A widely known writer and
clever talker, Mr.. Neuberger for
months has conducted an in
tensely active campaign for the
Senate against the incumbent
Republican, Senator Gordon. The
outcome of the battle, which
could conceivably determine
whether the Republicans are to
continue in control of the Sem
ate in the 84th Congress, is in
doubt. Both sides claim victory
Mr.. Neuberger represents the
cleft wing of his party. In his
drive to reverse the political
trend in this State, he has the
support of the leaders of organ
lied labor-both the AFL and
the CIO.
Backed by Morse.
He has the support of the
Farmers Union and the Ameri-
cans for Democratic Action. Last,
but by no means least, he is
backed by Senator Wayne Morse,
independent, and rabidly anti
Eisenhower administration. What
Mr.. Neuberger and the Demo-
Gratis hope is that Senator Morse
will lead much of his own per-
sonal following, which is large,
to the polls to vote Democra tic
on November 2. AS a Republican,
Senator Morse carried this State
in 1850 with a lead of 100000
over his Democratic opponent.
Mr.. Neuberger is a young man
ii years old-in comparison to
his Republican opponent, who is
"a. The crusading type, Mr..
Neuberger rings all the charges
in his attacks on Senator Gordon
and the Eisenhower administra-
ton. Nor does he overlook Sec
retary of the Interior Mckay,
who was Governor of Oregon and
resigned that Office to enter the
Eisenhower cabinet. Principal
among the issues which Mr.. Neu-
berger presses is water power.
He takes the public ownership
side against the partnership"
program of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration, under which the
Federal Government would con-
tinue to build the great dams
which neither State Government
nor private interests could be
expected to finance, but would
have the marketing of power by
local agencies, private or public.

DENVER, Oct. President
Eisenhower today injected his
partnership idea of how the Gov
ernment should be run into the
Republican battle to retain con-
troll of Congress in the November
elections.
He had seven members of his
team of Republican Senate and
House leaders flying into Denver
to join him and Vice President
Nixon in campaign strategy con-
ferences. The whole team will
appear tonight in a biggest yet"
television appeal for support OF
the Nations voters.
His idea was to dramatize a
new plea for election of Republi-
can majorities to the Senate and
House next month by stressirg
his dependence on teamwork
with COP. congressional lead
ers to carry forward the legisla-
tive program he considers good

Surplus Butter Buying
Reported at StandstiII
By the Associoted Press

The Agriculture Department
reported yesterday it has not
been asked to buy any surplus
butter under a farm price sup
port program since September IT..
officials said this was the
longest respite from heavy buy
ing since late in 1852, when the
current surplus problem started.
Furthermore. the department
said. it has been able to sell
nearly 212 million pounds of its
butter back to the trade to help
meet domestic demands.
Officials said this situation in
dicated a fair balance between
production and consumer de-
mand for the dairy product.
Compared with a year ago, they
said, production is down some
what and consumption is up.
Consumer prices are lower now,
rejecting a reduction in the sup
port level ordered by Secretary
Benson in April.

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. 8.-Violent
turbulence in Hurricane Hazel
today injured a creWman aboard
Navy storm-hunting plane.
The hurricane, hurting 115-
mile winds around it's ~ell-de-
fined eye, has become so turbu-
lent that the Navy pilot radioed
mo further penetration advised" :"
Hazel, eighth tropical storm of
the season, then was centered
about latitude 1875 north, long
itude 71.44 west, or about 100
miles due north of the Gulf of
Venezuela on the southern coast
of the Caribbean Sea. It was
about 1000 miles southeast of
Florida.
The radio report from the
plane gave no details of the in
jury to the crewman and did not
identify him. A crew of 10 was
on board. After penetrating the
eye, the flyers emerged and
headed for the naval base at
Guantanamo Bay. Cuba.
Grady Norton. chief storm
forecaster at Miami, said Hazel
"is getting to be a very severe
storm" 1t continued to move
almost due west, but it's forward
motion had slowed down to less

Only open water lay ahead of
the storm for 1000 miles if its

the Eisenhower administration
the "give-away administration, I"
because of the legislation for the
return of the "off shore; oil re-

it's tax-revision laws, which Mr.
Neuberger claims benefit the
wealthy taxpayers and those in
lower brackets practically none

he says are being opened to pri-

berger echoes the arguments
which Senator Morse has made
against the President and the
Republicans during the last two
years. If Mr.. Neuberger should
be elected to the Senate, Oregon
will have two Senators of a kind

Notwithstanding the Neuberger
and Morse campaigning, the
Democrats still face a tough
fight to overcome the Republi-
cans at the polls. Oregon has not
elected a Democrat to the Sem

Martin, elected 20 years ago, was
a conservative Democrat. The

Forum Will Be Held
October Il on City's
Parking Problems
Citizens Are Invited
To Offer Suggestions
For Better Facilities

The opening battle in the Dis
trict's fight for better parking
facilities was scheduled today
for October 81.
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
the Engineer Commissioner, an
nounced the Commissioners will
hold a full-dress hearing on
downtown and fringe parking in
the boardroom of the District
Building, starting at 10 am.
ANY one who wants to talk
on downtown parking or fringe
parking or on bus service to
fringe parking lots and the rates
to be charged is welcome to
come in and do so," he said.
Underground Lots Proposed
He recalled that numerous
proposals have been made that
the city build expensive munic-
ipal lots underground at Frank
lin Park, the Ellipse and the
Mall, and said exponents of these
views would be welcome.
Last month such a hearing
was demanded by John L. c.
Sullivan, president of the Cen
trail Business Association, who
complained against current
downtown parking restrictions.
Many such restrictions have
been imposed recently as part of
a campaign to persuade all-day
parkers to use the Districts ex-
perimental fringe parking lot at
South Capitol street and Firth
Sterling avenue.
Want Reaction of Groups.
Gen. Prentiss also said the
Commissioners hope to get the
reactions of the Districts nu-
merous citizens associations on
fringe parking and on the pos
sible location of other CITY,
owned fringe lots.
Meanwhile, representatives of
the Merchants and Manufac-
turers Association and the Capt.
tai Transit Co. were to meet this
afternoon to discuss possibility
of setting up a special bus serv-
ice for shoppers in midday
hours between morning and
evening rush periods, Gen.
Prentiss announced.
Proposals to expand the fringe
parking system on the site OF
the Industrial Home School at
Wisconsin avenue and Calvert
street NV. and the Emery Tract
on Georgia avenue have stirred
bitter opposition from persons
who favor using the sites for
recreation purposes.
Geoffrey M. Thornett, secre-
tary to the Board of Commis-
sioners, urged that all persons
who desire to testify telephone

ing to have their names put on

Delay Indicated
In Dixon-Yates
Plant Hearings
Campaign Moy Kill
Joint Committees
Chance Of Quorum
By J. A. O'Leory

There were strong indications
today the Joint House-Senate
hearings tentatively set for next
week on the controversial Dixon
Yates contract may have to be
postponed until after the Novem-
ber 2 elections.
Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
lican, of Iowa, who was desig-
mated to conduct the hearings
by Chairman Cole of the Joint
House Senate. Atomic Energy
Committee, was not prepared to-
day to comment on the reports
of "a possible postponement.
Other sources pointed out,
however, that it may prove diff
ficult to get a quorum to return
to Washington next week, since
all of the House members are
in the midst of campaigns.
A decision probably will be
reached by tomorrow on the time
for hearings to begin.
Criticism Discounted.
Senator Hickenlooper, who ar
rived back in Washington today
from South America, described
as political noise" the criticism
of the Dixon Yates contract by
Democratic leaders.
The contract would authorize
a group of private utilities to
build a $107 million steam plant
in West Memphis, Ark, to de-
velop power for the iva to re-
place energy the IVA will fur
nish to atomic energy plants in
the South.
Administration spokes IN n
have defended the proposed con-
tract as the most economical
solution, while opponents view
the contract as a threat to IVA
and other public power pro-
grams.
Answering Democratic critics,
Senator Hickenlooper said the
theory of the contract is good,
the details remain to be ex-
amined and passed on"
Committees Authority Cited.
Senator Hickenlooper said
there was no question that Con-
gress in the recent Atomic En-
ergy Act gave the Joint Atomic
Committee specific jurisdiction
to review the contract and, if it
sees fit. to waive the requirement
that the contract be pending for
80 days after Congress meets in
January before taking effect.
AS to the hearings already be-
ing held by the Autobiography
subcommittee of the Senate Judi
ciary Committee, Senator Hick-
enlooper said he would not COM
ment at this time on whether
some other committee has some
collateral jurisdiction.
It is understood that one ques-
ton members of the Joint COM
mittee want more light on before
starting public hearings is
whether the contract is a COM
pleted document at this time.
This question was raised because
of the letter of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission to the Anti
Monopoly subcommittee yester-
day, stating that Acc has ap-
proved the form" of a contract,
but that no binding commitment
has been made by the COM
mission.
Acc Pressed.
The A1nti-Monopoly subcom-
mittee meanwhile pressed the
Acc for all details of the meet
ing on October at which it ap-
proved the contract.
The subcommittee headed by
Senator LANCER, Republican, of
North Dakota, recessed it's hear
ings for 10 days yesterday after
voting to ask Acc for the
minutes of the meeting at which
the form of the contract was
approved.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat,
of Tennessee, member of the

day he will fight any waiver of
