' Strike Authorized Against Refinery Union Vote Favors Strike At Whiting WHITING, Ind. (IP) — A strike against the giant Standard Oil refinery here drew one step closer today following tabulation of a strike vote in which union members voted overwhelmingly -to authorize a walkout.

Attempts to settle the dispute have been in vain. Union officials met late Thursday night to decide whether to strike for a new contract.

Summon Mayor To Testify On Bribery Charge Oregon Mayor Tells NewsmeiQie Did Not Take Gambler Bribe WASHINGTON (UP) — Mayor Terry D. Schrunk of Portland, Ore., wfao denied to newsmen he took a SSOO bribe from a gambler, was recalled before Senate investigators today to repeat his words under oath. » The Senate Rackets Committee also promised to disclose results of a lie-detectOr test given to Nate Zusman, natty night club operator who denied charges that he encouraged a “madam” to open a bawdiy house in Portland and shared its profits. The committee also planned to question two other key figures in an alleged plot by racketeers and officials of the AFL-CIO Teamsters Union to take over Portland’s vice and gambling. They were Clyde C. Crosby, Teamster organizer for Oregon, and William M. Langley, Multnomah County district attorney elected in 1954 with Teamster backing. Langley has been accused in testimony before the committee of sharing graft from illegal activities in Portland. Charge Labeled “Fantastic” Schrunk, sheriff of Multnomah County (in which Portland is located) for. more than six years before becoming Portland's Mayor Jan. 1, told the committee the charge that he took a bribe while sheriff was a “fantastic story” involving “perjury” by the witnesses against him. During more than two hours of questioning Thursday, however, the committee failed to ask Schrunk directly to confirm or deny the payoff charge. Schrunk told reporters after the hearing that he meant to deny the charge under oath and thought he had done so. He termed the accusation “strictly a frame." Source Os The Charge James B. Elkins, self-confessed Portland racketeer, gambler and bootlegger, testified earlier that Clifford O. (Jimmy) Bennett, his partner in the 8212 Club In Portland, told him he paid Sheriff Schrunk SSOO on Sept. 11, 1955. Elkins said Bennett told him he handed over the money to ward off a raid and keep his customers from being arrested as they left his illegal after-hours drinking and gambling club. Bennett -refused to answer any questions about the incident. All he would tell the committee was that he now lives in Great Falls, Mont. The committee immediately moved to cite him for contempt of Congress. The committee refused to let Schrunk put in the record an affidavit from Bennett because the latter refused to be cross-exam-ined. The mayor later showed the affidavit to newsmen. In it, Bennett declared he would testify that Schrunk “has never asked for money or anything else and at no time ever made any promises that I could have protection to do anything illegally..

Missionary Plans To Slay In China Released Tuesday From China Prison HONG KONG ~(IPI — American missionary Paul A. Mackensen, released Tuesday from a Chinese prison, said today by telephone from Shanghai he intends to stay in Communist China. The Chinese announced Mackensen's release Thursday, exactly five years after the Philadelphia Lutheran was arrested in Tsingtao and sentenced to five years in prison. He was one of 10 Americans held prisoner by the Chinese. “I am not planning Io leave China immediately,” Mackensen told United Press in a telephone conversation from Shanghai. “I am trying to find myself work in Shanghai.” The Philadelphian said he did not know what kind of work he could find, but he said the Reds in releasing him gave him the impression he was “free to live in China as I wish.” Father Fulgence Gross, a Franciscan from Omaha, Neb., is due to follow Mackensen out of China this month. He was arrested in Tsingtao March 29, 1951. Rhode Island, the nation’s smallest state, would fit into Texas, the nation's biggest, more than 200 times.
