Bakery and Confectionery Work
ers international Union said to-
day it had cleared the union

boards decision was to com
pletely clear both of the charges
against them"

'connection with Elkins. The
Mayor has blamed his troubles
on Elkins and said the Port
land gambler had undertaken
to destroy him politically.
I'm not convinced of that"
the Mayor said in reference to
Mr.. Kennedy's statement.
do you have any evidence on
that?" Mr.. Kennedy asked.
Unfortunately not" the
Mayor replied.
Mr.. Kennedy noted that the
two policemen were employees of
the Mayor and Schrunk replied,
lat the present time" Mr.. Ken
nedy quickly asked If he planned
to fire them. The Mayor then
pointed out that the policemen
were not working for him at the
time of the raid.
Mr.. Kennedy said Mr.. Schrunk
will be followed as a witness by
Crosby. named as one of
the alleged conspirators who
felt he was double-crossed in the
vice "payoffs." The committee
has the sworn statement of the
man Mr.. Schrunk defeated last
observation-disclosures Mayor Fred
l.. Peterson-quoting Crosby as
saying that the Teamsters would
have to find another mayoralty
candidate unless Mr.. Peterson
fired the Portland police chief
who wasn't cooperating" He
refused and the union officials
backed Mr.. Schrunk.
Will Call Langley
Mr.. Kennedy said the COM
mittee expects to call Langley
tomorrow.
In his testimony yesterday,
Schrunk charged he was be-
ing framed" by Elkins and
others. He said Elkins had con-
trolled law enforcement in Port
land. the police department and
some. I'm sorry to say, In the
sheriff's office"
He suggested that for the
real" story of what went on,
the committee call three staffers
of the Oregon Journal. Mrs.
Dorothy M. Lee. former Port
land Mayor and now chairman
of the Subversive Activities Con-
troll Board. Senator Mcclellan
said Mrs. Lee will be interro-
gated"
Mrs. Lee told the Associated
Press in an interview she didn't
care to comment on current con-
ditions in Portland. She said
that during her four-year term
as mayor. which ended in 1858,
she didn't have any trouble
cleaning up vice and corruption,
but had to cope with constant
agitation from the underworld
and people whose toes We

Use of Lie Detector
Is Standard Police Test

Although the use Of the poly
graph. or lie detector machine,
has been a rarity in congress
sional investigations, it has be-
come standard police procedure
in hundreds Of communities.
The Senate select committee
investigating racketS in labor
introduced the device at the re-
quest Of a witness, Nathan zus-
man. a Portland tOregD night
club owner who sought to show
someone else had lied on him.
The widely used device was
developed by the late Leonardo
Keeler, a Chicago criminologist,
who tried out the first one sue
cessfully in 1923.
Since then investigators have
employed it often to break down
the most obstinate suspects and
solve knoty cases. If the person
under scrutiny starts sweating"
even that is recorded with hand
grips.
Not Admitted as Evidence
Generally, the courts never
have accepted the results as so
infallible they may be admitted
as evidence. But confessions
obtained as result of lie detec-
ton tests have stood up as we'll
in court as any other confess
sionS.
The lie detector records the
subjects breathing, blood pres
sure. pulse and other phySio-
logical reactions while he is be-
ing questioned. The theory is
that the excitement engendered
by a conscious effort to misrep-
resent the truth will cause re-
action which the sensitive ma
chine will record.
One hundred per cent ac-
.curacy has never been claimed
for the polygraph. The margin
of error has been rated from S
to 20 per cent by various au-
thoritieS. Shortly before his
death in 1949 Mr.. Keeler called
his machine 80 per cent ac-
curate. but later improvements
may have stepped this up.
Raped as Unreliable
Some PSYCHOLOGISTS have called
the lie-detector unreliable, espe-
cially when used on sensitive
individuals. 1t is pointed out
that intelligent persons can
catch the drift of questions de-
signed to trap them. and thus
while telling the truth show the

The mayor hesitated and then
replied:
Vest, make the request"
Senator Mcclellan then in
structed that the arrangements
be made.
The mayor suggested that
other witnesses who have testi-
fled regarding the alleged bride
be given similar tests.
During his testimony Mr.
Schrunk repeatedly described the
charges as too fantastic" and
said lit just doesn't make sense.
I'm not too smart" the wit
ness said. but l managed to get
college degree and serve as a
naval officer in the war. I'm not
stupid enough to set up some
thing like that"
The mayor said it would be
like a Senator If he was going
to be bribed to do it in the Sem
ate chamber and call the Secret
Service in to watch him"
Discusses Police Testimony
This was in reference to the
testimony of two Portland City
policemen. whom Schrunk had
called to the scene of the raid
to pick up a stolen bicycle. that
they witnessed the byplay at the
telephone pole.
The policemen. Merlin Tiede-
man and Lowell Admundson.
said they discussed the matter
at the time and that third
policeman referred to Schrunk
as that crooked - - :

Asked what he thought would
be the purpose Of the policemen
in giving such testimony in view
of his denials. the mayor an
swered.
Swered:
Il don't know what their
purpose is. whether it was the
power of suggestion.
He went on to say that six
or seven policemen were under
indictment in Portland and that
80 or more indictments should
have been returned. Under
questioning. the Mayor admitted
he knew Of no charges against
the two policemen who related
what they had seen on the night
OF the raid.
The mayor said he couldn't

reactions supposed to indicate
lies.
However, it has been widely
adopted in crime enforcement
and even some private bust
nesses. In the latter use, large
department stores in the Chi
Icago area adopted the polygraph
years ago for detection of petty
Ilarcenies and worse among en-
iployeS.

was illegal.
after the tapes were seized.
what did you do them" asked
Mr., Kennedy.
Made COPIES" Schrunk re-
piled.
did you play the tapes for
anyone?" queried the committee
counsel.
Schrunk admitted that the
tapes had been played for Lang
lie. Crosby and others. He also
said that Brad Williams. a re-
porter for the Oregon Journal,
rival publication of the Ore
CONAN which broke the Portland
scandals last year, had accom-
panied his men on the raid.
Schrunk later said that the re-
cordingS were placed in the vault
at the Journal Office for safe
keeping"
Schrunk is accused Of taking
a $500 bride from Clifford o.
Bennett during a raid Septem-
Der II. 1855. on the 1912 Club. a
downtown Portland night spot.
Bennett was operating the club
at the time.
The Mayor entered his sworn
denial of receiving a payoff
under questioning by Mr.. Ken
.nedy on some mysterious go
ings-on at the time of the $3.50
am. raid on the after-hours
club where gambling and drink
ing were taxing place.
Did you pick up $5O0?" asked
Mr.. Kennedy.
L did not the Mayor an
swered.
Did you pick up an en-
velope?" asked the committee
counsel.
Il did not" Schrunk replied.
The committee has received
testimony from number of
that Bennett came out
of the club while the sheriff and
his deputies were there and
placed a brown envelope behind
a telephone pole at a water
fountain near the joint. The
witnesses said they saw Schrunk
walk over and pick up some
thing and put it in his car.
The Mayor acknowledged
walking over to the fountain
and said. Il might have walked
over to get a drink"
At the request Of another wit
ness Nathan Zusman. Portland
night club owner, the Secret
Service gave Zusman a lie de-
tector test involving implication
in prostitution. The result an
nounced today showed Zusman
lied.
Senator Mcclellan ruled during
the discussion of a test for the
mayor that barring some I'M
usual circumstances the comm,-
tee will rot asl; a witness to take
a lie detector test except at the
of the witness and with
the approval Of his attorney.

most improper"
Quizzed About Raids
The committee counsel asked
the witness how many raids he,
as sheriff, and Langlie had con-
Quoted on vice joints after Lang
lie took over as district attorney
in January, 1855.
Schrunk said he couldn't re-
member and then added Il sup
pose half dozen or So" He said
in answer to a further question
he couldn't recall whether they
had padlocked any of the joints
Then Mr.. Kennedy told the
Mayor. who had testified that he
was trying to clean up Port
land" that:
Our staff investigators have
been able to find IS vice joints
operating in Portland since
January l. 1857" when Schrunk
became Mayor.
Mr.. Kennedy then gave the
names and addresses of a large
number of places which he said
included houses of prostitu-
ton. call houses, fter-hours
clubs and joints" He added
that "one OF the houses of
prostitution was operating on
a split shift"
Since this hearing began you
have moved in on two or three
of the places" Mr.. Kennedy
told the witness.
Recognizing Police
I'VE have been busy since
took Office" replied Schrunk.
1--WE are reorganlzing the police
department-do you expect
miracles?"
You were sheriff for seven
years and you could have closed
these places MIR. Kennedy re-
torted. You said that you and
Mr.. Langlie wanted to clean up
the city. You say you have in
vestigators out. Why can't they
find these placeS?"
Mayor Schrunk said he would
take the matter up with my
chief of police and vice squad
chief when get back.
Senator Mcclellan said he
would turn over the list of 35
joints found by his investiga-
tors and he told Schrunk to
take it and get out there and
clean this place up and he re-
marked that our people have
found 35 joints in just a little
while"

versation between underworld
characters. Teamster Union Of
