Two steps are required for get
ting money out of the federal treas
ury. First is the authorization
which -approves the project and
sets the sum which may be appro-
priated for it. Next is the actual
appropriation of the money. Thus
we have the Columbia Basin proj
ect authorized., including that for
the Willamette River system; but
the money comes along as Con
gress from session to session puts
it up.
This process is being followed
setting up the foreign aid program
for the fiscal year. The administra
tion proposed a budget of $4.9 bil
lion. The House hacked this by
tl.l billion in the authorization bill.
The Senate, responding to the ap
peal of Senator George, voted to
restore $600,000,000 of the cut. This
authorization bill then went to a
conference committee which has
agreed on a ceiling of $4.1 billion,
which is about midway between
the House and Senate figures.
Meantime the House Appropria
tions Committee has been working
on the money angle. It applied its
knife deeper than did the House
Foreign Affairs Committee on the
authorization bill, recommending
.an appropriation of only $3.6 bil
lion. The authorization bill as agreed
to in the conference will go to both
houses for final approval. The ap
propriation bill Is due to be acted

Kentucky Race
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A nudge from President Eisen
hower put John Sherman Cooper
into the Kentucky Senatorial race
Saturday as nart of Keoublican
gress in November.
Kentucky Republicans long had
importuned Cooper to run again
for the Senate, first for a full
jterm to oppose Sen. Clements (D-
Ky), and later to fill the unexpired
term of the late Sen. Barkley
(D-Ky). Cooper had stayed aloof,
saying he preferred to continue in
his present post as ambassador to
India.
As Republicans met Saturday
to name their candidate, howeV'
er chairman Dewey Daniel of the
Republican state central commit-
tecannounced Cooper haa agreed
to accept the nomination for the
unexpired Barkley term.
Cooper said he talked with Eis
enhower by telephone Friday
about the administration s poll
cies and programs and was told
Kisenhower "considered the sup
port of these programs in the
Congress of great importance."
F.isenhower added. Cooper said,
"that he would like for me to be
a candidate."

constructed as the two streets are
widened and paved. The area in
question is just north of the Hu
lendale subdivision along 12th St.
Anderson said saturation of the
soil bordering the roadbeds is
hampering the paving project, and
threatens to increase maintenance
costs through prematura break
down of the baserock foundation
and paved surface.
Sewage water seepage onto the
county right-of-way is caused both
hy septic tanks draining toward
the roads and inability of the
clay-like soil to sufficiently absorb
the water on the owner's prop
erty, Anderson said. "This condi
tion is just another example of
poor subdivision planning, and
points up the need for installation
of sewage systems in many Salem
suburbs," the engineer stated.
Possible Disease
Poor sanitary conditions cre
ated by the seepage also was
stressed by Anderson, who pointed
to the possible spread of such
diseases as diphtheria, infectious
hepatitus, typhoid and dysentery
via the drainage ditches.
There were several places along
the two streets where sewage
waler could be seen flowing out
Uf the newly-cut drainage ditch
embankment. With construction
of the ditches but a few days old,
algae had already formed a thick,
green scum over many of the
small pools that had formed.
"It would take just one carrier
to create an epidemic by passing
his or her germs through the
septic 'tank seepage to the ditch
es," Anderson said. "Kids are al
ways playing around these ditches
creating one of the fastest and
most convenient means of trans
mitting contagcous diseases," the
engineer said.
Water Piped
Because drinking water for
houses of the area is supplied by
pipes rather than wells, there is
"little danger of contamination
from that standpoint," Anderson
suid. "However, even a piped
water system is not fool proof,"
Anderson said, adding thai "there
is such a thing as a break in a
water main."
Anderson emphasized that resi
dents could be compelled to rem
edy the situation under state law.
"Property owners may be ordered
to correct any condition that re
sults in seepage of water on a
county right-of-way from private
property," Anderson said. Failure
to do so could result in the coun
ty undertaking necessary im
erty owners accordingly, Ander
prnvements and taxing the prop
son said.
Sanitary District .
"The surest solution for a situ
ation like this is formation of a
sanitary district and installation
of a sewage disposal system by
the residents," the engineer said.
Both Peace Street and Vista
Avenue' are being improved by
the county in nisponse to a peti
tion bv residents about two' years
ago. Property owners will pay for
the project itself, while the coun
ty, which has incorporated the
streets into its Toad system, will
maintain them in the future.

New Plea
Made to
Kiclnaj
Mother Ures
Churches Used
To Make Contact
WESTBURY, N.Y. ( - Mrs.
Morris Weinberger pleaded Sat
urday night with the kidnaper of
her five-weck-old baby to make
i contact with the parents through
' a church or synagogue.-
We don't want revenge. We
want our baby," she said in a
shaking voice on filmed CBS and
NBC local telecasts.
Mrs. Weinberger, 32, keeping
herself under control with diffi
culty, expanded on an earlier ap
peal through newspapers to reli
gious houses to open their doors
so that the kidnaper might find
a way to safely relinquish her
son, Peter, to the parents.
Please. Please . . .
"Please, please," she said, "use
a church or a clergyman to make
contact with us.. .Drop a note in
the collection box. ..The clergy
men are all committed to us not
to turn over information to the
police...
Mrs. Weinberger added "the
police have given their word they
won't interfere. Tomorrow is Sun
day and churches all over the city
will be open."
There has been no contact with
the kidnaper since Friday and
as far as was known no actual
proof that the mysterious tele
phone caller Friday was the kid
naper. Police disclosed, however, that
the Weinbergers received a sec
ond call Friday from a man they
were sure was the kidnaper.
To Keep la Tourk
The man told the parents on the
second call:
'"I'll be in touch with you
again."
But as the minutes ticked away
into anguUhed hours Saturday,
Mrs. Weinberger heard nothing
more.

Rocket Fuel Explosion
i '
Disintegrates Scienti
P.EDLANDS. Calif. I A scientist was killed Saturday In
earth-shaking explosion at a plant
used in the proposed man-made earth satellite.
The San Bernardino County sheriffs office said Benjamin J.
Kimbrig, $1, was apparently disintegrated when the powerful rocket
propellant exploded at the Grand Central Rocket Co. in Mentone, five
miles east of Redlands.
A shoe identified as one Kim
brie was wearinu was found on the
roof of a nearby building, and bits
of cloth believed to be part of the
scientist's clothing were found in
the wreckage of the small building
in which the blast occurred. There
was no trace of a body.
Officials of the company said
Kimbrig was inspecting a batch of
the fuel in a curing oven when it
inexplicably caught fire. The fuel
generates about 40,000 degrees Fah
renheit when it burns, it was re
ported. It is designed to supply the
the final boost needed to speed the
satellite up to 18,000 m p.h and en
able it to overcome the earth's
gravitational pull.
The force of the explosion rip
ped a steel roof off the building and
tore a crater six feet deep in the
earth. Bits of debris were found
scattered half a mile, away, and
persons five miles distant reported
hearing the noise and feeling the
ground shake.

TWA Pilot for
Air Collision
By BILL BECKER
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (-The Civil
Aeronautics Board's chief investi
gator said Saturday the two-plane
Grand Canyon air catastrophe
was "a definite collision and
added that primary flight respon
sibility before the crash rested
with the Trans World Airlines
pilot.
William K. Andrews. CAB di
rector of safety investigation,
Washington, told a House Com
merce subcommittee hearing:
"I would not hesitate to say that
it was a definite collision." '
Earlier he testified that "TWA
had full .responsibility for main
taining separation" of the two air
liners after it had changed flight
plans.
The TWA Superconstellation and
United Air Lines DC7 collided
over Grand Canyon on June 30
witli a loss of 128 lives. It was
history's wont commercial avia
tion disaster. Both planes were
eastbound from Los Angeles and
took off only three minutes apart.
Heads lavettlsilloa
Andrews flew here from the
Grand Canyon where he has been
heading the CAB investigation,
Andrews told the subcommittee:
"TWA was advised that United
Air Lines was traffic. There is no
indication that United Air Lines
was advised TWA was traffic."''
By this, Andrews meant' the
TWA pilot had been advised that
the United airliner was flying at
21,000 feet before the constellation
was grunted permission to change
elevation from 19 000 feet to "1.000
feet on top" of thunderclouds.
The top of the thunderclouds
was estimated "at about 20,000
(cel. which also put TWA In the
21.000 foot range.
TWA Pilot Respoaslble
Andrews, first witness at the
subcommittee hearing presided
over by Rep. Harris (D-Ark. said
it was the TWA pilot's responsi
bility to be on the lookout for and
avoid the United plane.
"TWA had full responsibility for
maintaining separation, Andrews
told the subcommittee.
Swiss mountaineers, flown ot the
canyon, worked on a radical new
technique they hope will make it
possible to lower a man by rope
into crevices containing parts of
the shattered plane. '
