Flier Unfound
In Wide Search
LONG VIEW, Tex. (AP) The
search for Donald Keeton, young
Texas airman apparently bent on
suicide in a rented plane, switched
to this East Texas area Friday on
the basis of information that he
made a brief landing near here
Thursday.
The 19-year-old airman, whose
engagement lo a childhood sweet
heart was broken last month, was
on the ground two minutes at
nearby Greggton at about 1:30
p.m., took off again and hasn t
been seen since.

have lo go to the Gregg County
Airport eight miles away.
He never showed up at the Gregg
County airport.
K e e t o n's appearance at the
small unincorporated town on the
western edge of Longview, lent
support to belief he was heading
for Dallas, home of his childhood
sweetheart.

Riloxi, Miss., rented a two-seated
Cessna 120, painted yellow with
black trimmings, from a Gulf-

off because I thoughl I was too
young."
The airman's mother, Mrs. Ann
abelle Keeton, said in Dallas her
son had losl weight "because of
worry over a love affair."
At Keesler his barracks males
found a note that he wanted to

ROSEBURG, OREGON FRIDAY,
Miller's Addition
Sewer Problem
Will Be Threshed
A session between Rosebnrg city
officials and Miller's Addition
landowners to attempt to thresh
out the problem of providing sew
ers for the area is slated for Mon
day at 7:30 pin. in the council
chambers.
The meeting was called early
this month when the City Council
learned a snag had been hit in
financing sewer installations.
Primarily, the difficulty lies in
the low assessed valuation of much
of the property in Miller's Addi
tion, Up against this is the state
law governing Bancroft bonds for
financing and the city engineer's
estimate of the eost of the work.
The law limits property owners
to bonding their property for twice
its assessed value. However, ac
cording to Mrs. Wilma Hill, city
recorder, 60 to 70 per cent of the
property in the addition falls into
the unimproved category which
puts the bonding capacity at
much less than the estimated cost
of sewer installation.
The assessed valuation of some
of the lots is as low as $40. City
Engineer Ken Meng estimates in
stallation for a 50-foot lot at $300.
Bancroft bonding on such a lot
would be held to $80, leaving a
S220 difference to be met by the
property owner in a cash pay
ment. A full explanation of the prob
lem and discussion of a solution
is scheduled for the meeting. No
tices of the meeting and an ex
planation have been sent to all
property owners in Miller's Addi
tion. Catholic Rectory

with the house in recess until
Monday, final congressional action
was put off until next week.
The bill's annual cost is about
542 million dollars. But the first
year cost will be closet to 800
million dollars since the boost is
retroactive to Jan. 1.
Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-SC)

equal treatment. Sen. Ralph Yar
borough (D-Tex) said the pay in
crease was modest compared to
those given workers in private in
dustry. But Sen. Harry F. Byrd (u-Va)
said it was "very bad policy" to
grant retroactive pay increases.

Congress was contributing to infla
tion and setting a pay raise ex

The bill covers not only regu
lar classified Civil Service em
ployes, but also employes of Con
gress, federal courts, the Foreign
Service, Atomic Energy Commis
sion, and Veteran Administration
medical service. Postal workers
previously were given a 10 per
cent raise.
The bill permits creation of 599

only a matter of accepting hospi
tality from an old friend, and that
he had thought Goldfine kept the '
noiei quarters on a permanent -basis.
The affair had prompted Rep.
Peter F. Mack Jr. (D-Ill) to say
Eisenhower should fire Adams.

a hound's tooth."

Eisenhower has any intontion of
firing Adams, Hagerty shot back:

that, but would check into the
matter.

again at his news conference Fri
day, Hagerty said Adams hid set
forth his posilion in his litter
Thursday to Rep. Oren Harris (D-
Arm, cnairman ot a House ln-
. vesugaung suncommittee, and
Ada ins would hare nothinf irlore
to say.
