Ore., July 27-;P-Twd Portland men were injured today when a new light airplane they were flying from Portland to Red mond crashed south of La pine. Tourists Refused Permission To Camp at Silver Creek Falls At least 100 out-state cars of tourists a month are requesting permission to camp in the ftilver Creek falls district but almost all of them are being turned away because no such facilities are available. Other hundreds of trav elers residing in Oregon are being similarly disappointed. The facta wer disclosed here Friday by Harry B. Buckley, cus todian of the Silver Creek Recre ational Demonstration area (under the national park service), who said that almost innumerable tour ists visit his area, as well as the adjoining Silver Creek State park, in the belief that they could camp there.

Congress to 4d j ourn Friday WASHINGTON, July J7-fP-Tho 79th congress slapped "un finished" labels on many of Pres ident Truman's favorite legislative proposals today and started head ing homeward. The house today picked next Friday as the date for formal and final adjournment but there was little expectation of anything more than formalities and non-controversial business after the week end. The senate has . yet to act on the resolution. Leaders fore saw possible difficulties in mus tering a quorum after today. Without the required number of members present, any man on the floor could block consideration of a measure.

A state regulation bars over night campers from the 1200 acres in the Silver Creek park and there are no facilities for them on the 400 acres owned by the national park service (except plots rented to organizations), Buckley said, but "it would take but little de velopment in the parli service area to make such possible. Buckley cited that a road and camp site already have been grad ed, and that plans were drawn and approved for water, sewage and cooking facilities by the park serv ice prior to the war. But no funds for the development have been made available, and so far no ef forts toward such an authorization are underway, he said. Tuohy said, "I will consider it." Malachy Cog h lan. one of five defense counsel, said the strap ping, 17 year old University of Chicago student and wrestling enthusiast would place before Tuohy on Tuesday complete de tails of these three killings: The kidnap-slaying and dis memberment last Jan. 7 of the golden-haired Degnan girl, young est of two daughters of a Chicago OPA executive. The shooting and fatal stabbing of Francis Brown, an ex-Wave, in Chicago's mysterious "lipstick murder" last Dec. 10 less than a month before the Degnan killing. The fatal throat slashing on June 3, 194S, of Mrs. Josephine Ross, a widow whose body, the head nearly severed, was found by her daughter.

Senator Connally (D-Tex) drew the assignment to read Byrnes statement over the NBC network siv hours after the secretary left by plane with assurances from President Truman that he has the support of the entire country "in his efforts to get a just peace for the world." . In this statement Byrnes called for the earliest withdrawal rf allied occupation troops consistent with world security, settlement of "explosive" boundary disputes, nnai decisions on reparations over which the United States is currently enraged in argument wun rlussia and maximum tro- gres in providing people every where with "more food and houses and clothing." Not until these things are ac complished .will the people them selves begin to remember how precious peace really is and to make felt their universal deter mination not to commit atomic suicide," the secretary said. v .

July lt-iJSI- The Texas election bureau, releas ing 1:S0 a.m. returns on the first democratic primary, said a runoff between Beau ford Jester and Ho mer P.

A runoff would be held between the two men in the second demo cratic primaries August 24. Nom ination in the Texas democratic primaries is tantamount to elec tion. Thousands of Negroes voted, the first ever to cast ballots in a dem ocratic primary election in Texas. Sen. Tom Connally, chairman of the foreign relations commit tee, was winning handily with 177,552 votes to 60,858 for his four opponents. In the congressional primaries state senator L. J.

It is stated by Rex Putnam; state su perintendent of public instruc tion. In a letter to the state emer gency board. A bill appropriating federal funds for the national school lunch act. to be matched in part by the schools, already has been approved by congress and signed by the president. Putnam advised that there would be in excess of $400,000 available for distribu tion to Oregon elementary and high schools. The state superintendent of public instruction would admin ister the act, with the entire cost of administration charged against the state. The cost of adminis tration would not exceed $18,050, Putnam declared in his letter. Putnam's letter continues: "The superintendent of public instruction, like most other de Slhieidoimg er anything like this.

New ones, effective August 1, will be issued for posting in grocery stores. All 685 industry advisory committees are automatically re instated. That price celings on new cars revert to June 30 levels, pending issuance soon of new and higher ceilings. On used cars the , ceil ings are those of June 30 less the four per cent automatic de crease which was to have gone into effect July 1.

"Obviously, the superintendent of public instruction cannot make the commitments required In an agreement with the secretary of agriculture covering the admin istration of the program in Ore gon without the necessary funds, and thus it would be impossible to place the program into effect In Oregon without an emergency appropriation." Putnam advised that a program similar to that outlined by the federal agricultural department, under the national school lunch act, has been in effect in Oregon for a number of years but prev iously has been wholly operat ed and administered by the fed eral agricultural department.
