New Bribery Charges
Hits Loaded
Questions in
Lie Test
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON
AND CECIL HOLLAND

Mayor Terry D. Schrunk Of
Portland, Greg, was accused in
a new charge today of receiving
several hundred dollars" from
an admitted gambler and under
world operator.
The charge-which Schrunk
denied-was made by Chief
Counsel Robert F. Kennedy as
the special Senate Committee
Investigating Labor Manage
ment Racketeering recalled the
Mayor for further testimony on
the Portland scandals.
Despite the charge, piled on
top of one that he took $500
payoff from the operator of an
after-hours club while serving as
sheriff, the Mayor firmly de-
clined to go through with a lie
detector test.
The Mayor walked out in the
middle of test being given by
the Secret Service yesterday. He
told the committee that some of
the questions he was being asked
were loaded"
RESTS" Case With Courts
Asked by Senator Mundt, Re-
publican of South Dakota, if he
desired ito reconsider" and go
through with the test, the Mayor
replied:
mo sir. After spending II
days here, in my opinion the
matter will be settled in the
courts in Oregon. I shall rest
! on that"
Senator Mundt reminded the
Mayor that the Justice Depart
ment here may have something
to say in the matter since, from
conflicting testimony given by
the Mayor and witnesses regard
ing the alleged $500 payoff, sit
! is clear someone is lying"
5 The committee has ordered
transcripts of the testimony sent
to the Justice Department for
possible perjury prosecutions.

land said he thinks the Presi-
dents position is that he sub
mitted his spending recommen-
dations in his January budget
message and that any cuts are
the responsibility of Congress.
Appropriations Committee
Chairman Cannon Of Missouri
was the lone witness supporting
the resolution at yesterdays
Rules Committee session. His
committee backed him by ap-
proving the measure by a 22-12
vote last Friday.
Modest Request"
Mr.. Cannon called the reso-
luton "a very moderate. modest
request" to Mr. Eisenhower for
advice and counsel" on where
the budget can be cut.
Hes the man who built this
budget: he's the carpenter; he's
the architect" Mr.. Cannon said.
IF anybody should know any,
thing about it. he should know"
He conceded that the proposal
was without precedent. But he
said it also was without prece-
dent for a President to send
Congress a budget and then in
dictate that it could be cut. Both
Mr.. Eisenhower and Secretary
OF the Treasury Humphrey. MI

Gated that the budget was too
big.

BY the Associated Pres,

The House votes today on a
plea to President Eisenhower for
advice on where his ST. billion
budget can be cut substantially.
The plea is embodied in a
resolution approved yesterday by
the Rules Committee and last
Friday by the Appropriations
Committee by partisan votes.
The resolution goes to the
House for three hours of debate.
Passage is expected over Repub-
lican opposition.
Republicans have assailed it
as a "buck-passing" proposal to
take Congress of the spot In a
growing public demand for econ
omy and tax reduction. The de-
mand is reflected. they say. in
mail received from constituents
The resolution requires 10
Senate action and the President
can't veto it. However. he can
ignore it since it is simply an
expression of House sentiment
and does not have the force OF
law.
Cannon Backs Move
Democrats sponsored the reso-
luton in what some conceded
privately is a move to take the
offensive in the economy drive
The House Republican Policy
Committee and an independent
group of 81 House Republicans
previously had urged Congress
to make substantial budget cuts
Republican House and Senate
leaders charged at the White
House today that Congress
would be abdicating its respon-
sibilities if it passed the resolu-
ton.

Martin said Congress should
make an honest effort to cut

sibility of Congress.

Z Officials Purqed
In Romuniu Linked
With Ana Puuker

VIENNA. July 10 (R.-Ro-
mania's ruling Communist
Party charged today that two
Romanian officials purged
shortly after the Kremlin
shakeup had "close contacts"
with Ana Pauker.
Mrs. Pauker. former Roman
ian Foreign Minister and once
the most powerful woman in
the Communist world. was
ousted in 1852 and disappeared
from public life. She has been
reported living under close Gus
tody in Bucharest.
Radio Bucharest quoted the
party organ Scanteia as saying
the purged officials, former
Party Secretary Josef Chisi-
nevsky and former Vice Pre-
mier Miron Constantinescu,
had contacts with party ele-
mentS around Mrs. Pauker and
Vasile Luca, former Finance
Minister and a party secretary
Luca, ousted with Mrs. Pauker
in 1852, was sentenced to life
Imprisonment in 1854

takes, not only by their viola
ton of many of the principles
laid down by the goth Con-
gress Of the Soviet Communist
Party, but also by making the

Dmitri Shepilov.
The Kremlin leaders ex-
changed warm embraces with
Mr.. Zapotocky, Prime Minister
Vilem Siroky and other Red
leaders. AS they marched to
a flag-decorated platform in
front of the station, a crowd
of young Czech children almost
buried Mr.. Khrushchev and
Marshal Bulganin in bouquets
of roses.
Bulganin Scratched
For Marshall Bulganin there
were thorns as well as flowers.
The sharp bouquets badly
scratched his hands and he
wiped the blood spots with his
handkerchief as he stepped on
the platform.
After his speech. Mr.. Khru-
shchev climbed into the first
auto with Mr.. Zapotocky and
Czech Party Boss Antonin
Novotny, leaving Marshall Bull
ganin to follow in a second car
with Mr.. Siroky.
The parade route led through
Wenceslas Square, which was
crowded with thousands of
Czechs. most of them organ
lied into flag-waving cheering
sections. Shops and factories
had been given a four-hour
holiday. After the leaders
passed, the crowd dispersed so
rapidly that some cars in the
official party were halted tenn
porarily.
Prague was primed to give
the Soviet Communist Party
boss and Marshal Bulganin
full assurance that the purge
OF top Soviet leadership had
not changed the loyalty of
Czechoslovakia's Communists.
Black Sheep Thrown Out

across the satellite nation, Mr..

Scribed the purge with the pun
gent remark, I'VE took the
