There is a possibility, too, the weatherman pointed out, of even colder weather Tuesday night, should a cold front now off the coast come in. More Snow Expected But even without an additional twist in the weatheiyanother 3 to 4 inches of snow can be expected by Tuesday morning, he said. while chains were needed on all but valley roads, no major clos ures were reported. This was in spite of near-record 24-hour snow falls on Willamette and Santiam passes. The State Highway Dept. reported 24 inches of new snow in both areas. The blanket was house-high on both passes, with a total of 148 inches at Santiam and 140 inches at Willamette. Snowballs Galore At Ontario in Eastern Oregon the ground was covered by snow balls.

(UP) An Air Force "para medic" team searched the slopes of the Olympic moun tains Mondav for three vic tims of a B-17 rescue plane which plowed into the rocky mountainside returning from a mercy mission The team, which camped all night on the wind-swept heights, had little hone of finding the three men alive. Searchers Sunday found the wreckage of the plane and five of its eight crewmen on snow covered Tyler peak, 25 miles southeast of here. Three Daring Trips A 10-passenger Coast Guard helicopter made three daring trips to the crash scene to remove the injured crewmen. It was believed the missing men were hurled out of the aircraft as it skidded down the mountain. Officers doubted that the three men were alive, but there was slight hope that they might be seriously injured and hidden by the deep snow. It's a Miracle' "It's a miracle that anyone sur vived the crash and the night on the mountain, one officer said.i But if five men could do it, maybe God has kept the others alive too." The B-17 crashed Saturday while returning from Sandspit, B.C., where it had taken part In a search for survivors of an Army- chartered DC-4 that carried 36 persons to their deaths in the icy waters of Hecate Strait off the Queen Charlotte islands. The transport plane, with 43 persons aboard, was returning from Korea. The Air Force identified the three missing B-17 crewmen as Capt. Stanley Lanjiewicz, Jr., navigator, of Milwaukee, Wis.; T-Sgt. Allan S. Ball, engineer, of Altadena, Calif., and Sgt. John A. De Rath, whose next of kin is Mrs. Anna Jacobsen of Stavengen, Norway. 2 Seriously Injured The Coast Guard helicopter, piloted by Cmdr.

American Nun Killed in Egypt By TOM STONE AssAclitrd Press Staff Writer ISMAILIA, Egypt (AP) The U.S. consul from Cairo arrived here Monday for an on-the-spot investigation of the slaying of an American nun, the first American casualty in the bloody Suez fighting.

Acheson and Dulles were the first witnesses to be called by the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee, holding hearings on the Japanese treaty and three other Pacific security pacts with Ja pan, the Philippines and Australia and New Zealand. Enactment of all the treaties was urged by both Acheson and Dulles. Acheson said the treaties are musts In order to set up a new and "effective system of regional security in the Pacific."

BARRETT Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON (AP) President Truman laid before Congress Monday an $85,444,000,000 budget tagged as "the price of peace." The total, proposed as the government spending program for the 12 months beginning next July 1, is more than the government has ever spent in any one year except for two World War II years. It amounts to $550 for each man, woman and child in ths country. Sixty cents out of every dollar would go to the armed forces. Many of the legislators were quick to say they would not vote that much money. However, cries for economy have invariably greeted everv presidential budget. And in three of the past five years Congress has wound up by voting more money tnan Mr. Truman asked. Here is the reaction of some individual legislators: Sen. George (D-Ga): "It's too big it's too great." He said Con gress shou'd cut "about five to seven billions" from the total. Similarly, Sen. O'Conor (D Md.) said Congress should aim for a savings of at least four to five billions. He said it should cut non-defense spending and trim out waste in military spending. Rep. Taber (R-NY), long one of the most vocal advocates of budget-cutting, said he wanted to make a detailed study before set ting any goal for savings. But he declared that "obviously" big cuts could be made. More for Armed Forces The program the President out lined calls for an 11 billion dol lar expansion in armed forces spending raising it to more than 51 billion. The expansion would include a start on building the Air Force from 90 wings to 143. And he gave notice, in a budget preview for reporters, that a new five to six billion dollar five-year expansion program for atomic en ergy facilities will go to Congress soon. This isn't included in his budget for the fiscal year starting July 1, Mr. Truman said, because it would be spent later in connec tion with some fantastic weapons. Plumps for Foreign Aid He said his foreign aid pro gram, under especially heavy cri ticism, "is vital and indespensable . ... in the total fight for se curity and peace." Mr. Tru man called for expanding total aid from $6,868,000,000 this year to $10,844,000,000 next fiscal year, with military aid alone jumping from four to eight billion. His budget, he said in his an were based on preliminary reports, the Brit ish blamed the Egyptians.

Mr. Truman said without new taxes, his budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 would plunge the government $14,446, 000,000 further in the red. The deficit for the current fis cal year was an estimated $8,201,-000,000. Asks More Revenue Then he repeated a call for about British claimed to have eyewitnesses.

This is more than one-fourth ot what the engineers purpose to spend in their entire nationwide program during the 12 months be ginning July 1. Bonneville Funds Bonneville Power Administra tion is down for $67,696,400 to continue construction of its wid ening transmission grid, and an additional $6,600,000 for operating and maintenance.
