Advisory Council Asks Federal
Aid For Stale Civilian Defense
SALEM (UPD- State civU de
fense leaden told the federal gov
ernment today that if it wants a
functioning civil defense program
In Oregon after July 1 it will have
to step in and help.
Long-faced members of the Gov
ernor's Advisory Council on Civil
Defense looked at a two-year
budget that would slash the 18
member state agency to three
persons and agreed there was
nothing else to do.
The council told State CD Di
rector Robert Sandstrom to Inform
the federal government that if it
was able to match dollar-for-dollar
the $54,000 alloted by the legisla
ture that it probably would be
able to carry out its three basic

Consolidation
Consolidation was a major mat
ter of discussion at the Canyon
villa School District budget hear
ing Tuesday night
Members of the budet commit
tee after answering questions about
the budget itself said they were
going to delve into the consolida
tion subject at the next meeting
of the School Board. They asked
anyone interested to attend the
meeting to Interject their ideas.
- An effort to consolidate with Myr
tle Creek and Days Creek-Tiller
earlier this year failed when the
latter district turned down the
plan.
About 30 people turned out for
Tuesday's hearing. Oscar Hover
son, chairman of the budgot com
mittee, introduced the evening's
discussion by pointing out that the
district is in pretty good financial
shape because of Increased valu
ation and cash on hand. He said
mtllaga could possibly drop 20 per
cent this year.
" Supt. Norman York was medi
ator during the questlon-and-an-swer
session.
Fire Chief Mickey Moore object
ed to $1,300 being cut from the
budget for the summer recreation
program. "Why are you Just tak
ing it away from the kids?" he
asked.
. York answered that this was the
only report the committee had had
from voters In objection to tho
budget turned down early this
month.
In conclusion, the budget com
mittee indicated it had cut every
possible thing from the budgot.
Since there was no money allowed
for school improvements, the com
mittee said, the only hope for the
future is reorganization (consoli
dation with ono or more other dis
tricts). The second budget , vote Is
scheduled May 3.

First-Graders Get
Letter From Gordo
A true hera can take the time
to appreciate the plaudits of his
public even though some are
those of small children.
This was mado evident when
Mrs. Dorothy Gwaltney's first
grade class at Fullcrton IV re
ceived a large full-color picture of
America's newest hero astronaut
Gordon L. Cooper.
The picture and accompanying
letter expressing thanks for the
children's interest, was received
Tuesday. Theso wcro in reply to
tho youngsters' letters, written as
individuals, which they had sent to
Cooper by way of congratulation
on his 22-orblt of the earth.
Mrs. Gwaltney said tho children

gratulate him and send their best
wishes. The letter acknowledging
thcir's was greatly appreciated by
the first graders was not altogeth

was a complete surprise.
Each letter, Mrs. Gwaltney said,
gave an indication of the feelings
of tho individual. During tho ac

expressed their concern. Some of
the missives contained questions
about what Cooper had seen and
what he did.
One lad said, "I'm glad you

asked the legislature for $195,000.
This, with federal matching funds,
would have expanded the agency
to 20 persons. With proposed state
funds the agency would be left
after June 30 with three persons.
Hatfield charged the legislature
was guilty of "failure to uphold
public responsibility."
He charged: "The peace-at-any-price

Teen-Agers
Take Poison
During Chase
READING, Pa. (UPD Two
teen-agers, flushed from a home
where tbey had held a woman
hostage, died Tuesday night ap
parently after swallowing potas
sium cyanide tablets to avoid cap
ture.
Police said the youths, one of
them described as a "model boy,"
had just been taken into custody
near Fleetwood, 17 miles from
here, when they collapsed. They
were pronounced dead on arrival
at St. Joseph's Hospital here.
The teen-agers were identified
tentatively as Charles E. Mon-
tagna, 16. and Edgar Barrone, 18,
both of Phillipsburg, N.J.
State police said the search for
the boys started Monday after
they fled their car following a
"relatively minor" auto accident
in Fleetwood. They were reported
to be armed at the time, and
Fleetwood police sought assist
ance from state police who
combed the nearby countryside.
Detective Sgt. Leroy Lilly and
Trooper Donald Halloway were in
the area near the summer home
of Dr. William Hamilton, a den
tist, and stopped at the house to
check on Mrs. Hamilton. The
woman told them she was all
right and had not seen anyone.
Police said later the youths had
guns trained on both her and the
state policemen at the time.
Police surrounded the house and
ordered the youths outside after
Mrs. Hamilton signaled to a neigh
bor through a window that the
boys were upstairs. She then
dashed outside to safety.
Tho vouths came out with their
hands in the air and collapsed as
they were taken in custody.
New Jersey police said Monday
night that Barrone was a parolee
from a i860 auio tneit conviction.
They described Montagna as a
"model boy" who was slated to
graduate from Phillipsburg High
School with honors and who re
cently received an award from
the Civil Air Patrol.

attitude were strikingly different
from the strongly anti-Communist
position of his predecessor, Pope
Pius XII.
The result, since early last year,
has been a series of Kremlin
gestures of friendship that would
have been unthinkable in the days
of Pius XII.
It may be that they will be ruled
out as well under the next Pope.
Sends Messages
Khrushchev, an avowed atheist.
not only sent Pope John congratu
latory messages on his birthday
and when he was awarded the
Balzan Peace Prize, but also dis
patched his son-in-law, Izvestia ed
itor Alexei Adzhubei, to Rome.
Adzhubei had a private audience
with the Pope.
Simultaneously, leaders of the
Russian Orthodox Church began
making similar friendship ges
tures. They sent two observers to
the Ecumenical Council.
Then early this year the Rus
sian Orthodox journal Moscow Pa
triarchy favorably reviewed the
council's proceedings, particularly
the Pope's stress on the need for
peace.
Evidence of Change
The most tangible evidence of
the new atmosphere in Communist
Catholic relations was the ap
parent progress toward arranging
the departure of Joszef Cardinal
Mindszenty from his refuge in the
United States legation in Budapest.
Whether the death of Pope John
might affect these efforts is un
known. Glendale Schools Set

U. S. Destroyer
Struck By Fire
PORTLAND, Maine (UPI) A
flash fire broke out in the boiler
room of the destroyer USS
Blandy today less than one hour
after the ship arrived here to par
ticipate in Memorial Day exer
cises. Most of the 323 men aboard
jumped or walked down the gang
plank from the destroyer to tne
Maine State Pier where it was
tied up. A handful of sailors re
mained aboard to help civilian
firemen in putting out the blaze.
Two sailors were overcome by
smoke while fighting the fire. No
one was seriously hurt.
A Navy spokesman said the fire
was touched off by lubricating oil
which came in contact with a
spark or a hot pipe after an oil
gauge line broke.
Five sailors were in the boiler
room when the fire erupted. The
Navy said it was the alertness of
one of them, Boiler Technician
J.D. Mitchell, Mountain Grove,
Mo., who probably prevented a
more serious blaze.
He quickly turned off the flow
of the oil and sealed off the
boiler room from the rest of the
ship by closing the entrance
ways, the Navy spokesman said.
The fire slightly damaged the
equipment in the boiler room and
scorched the paint. The blaze did
not spread to other parts of the
vessel.
Firefighters used steam and
foam in extinguishing the blaze.
A Portland fire boat pulled up
alongside the Blandy but its
hoses were not needed.
The Blandy was scheduled to
hold open house for visitors today
and Memorial Day. Today s pub
lic visiting might be canceled,
the Navy said.
The entire crew returned to the
ship at mid-morning, less than
two hours after the fire startd.
