Lie Detector Test Fixed Says Schrunk in Oregon Hearing
Mayor Terry Schrunk of Portland testified at a Portland hearing that a lie detector test was part of a fishing expedition by the Secret Service and Senate rackets committee aimed at making him fail. He balked at five questions but said the rest were tricky and part of an effort to trip him up. He insisted the charge of accepting a $500 bribe as Multnomah county sheriff in 1949 is unfounded. The committee may press ahead with Teamsters President Dave Beck testimony, as well as Oregon organizer Clyde Crosby, Transit president Frank Brewster, and others, with Beck delaying cooperation and citing personal records.
