plan
for education
THIS WAS COLOR JOB A rising sun splashed the eastern
sky with flamboyant colors this morning, result of clouds that
massed in layers over the eastern horizon. Observers in charge
of the Bend weather station said the clouds were of the lenti
cular altocumulus variety. This picture was taken east along

Wild turkeys
released in
area Sunday
Thirteen wild turkeys of the
Merriam variety, first of these
game birds ever released in this
part of the state, took to the tops
of tall pines when they were freed
from their crates at 1 a.m. Sun
day on the east side of Green
Ridge, north, of Sisters.
- The turkeys had been trapped
near Flagstaff, Ariz., and were de
livered by Arizona State game
commission personnel at Tonopah,
Nev., to Bob Mace and Clark
Walsh, of the Oregon state game
commission.
A breakdown of the Arizona
truck carrying the turkeys a,nd
others resulted in a delay in the
long trip to Oregon. For this rea
son, they were immediately taken
to the Green Ridge area and freed
at the early morning hour Sunday
by Paul Bonn and Monty Mont
gomery of the game department's
regional office in Bend.
Other Shipments
Two other shipments, one by
truck, the other by air, were re
ceived over the weekend and
freed near Wamic, headquarters
of the White River game manage
ment area. Eighteen were deliv
ered there by truck, as part of the
shipment from Arizona. In addi
tion. 20 turkeys trapped in Colo
rado and brought to Oregon by
plane were released in the wamic
area.
Despite the fact that some of
the birds were in crates as long
as 46 hours, only one of the wild
turkeys was lost There will be no
hunting of the birds. Game per
sonnel has asked that they not be
fed.
The Merriam wild turkeys rep
resent one of six races of wiid
turkevs found in North America.
Engineers stay away
from jobs third day
NEW YORK (UPI) Striking
flight engineers stayed away from
their jobs for the third straight
day today, making it almost cer
tain that five major airlines will
begin furloughing about 60,000 em
ployes across the United States.
Three of the airlines appeared
ready to shut down entirely, and
a. fourth promised only "skeleton"
service.
The airlines had planned to be
gin layoffs today unless the flight
engineers resumed their jobs. But
the engineers continued their wild
cat strike, and American Airlines
and Trans World Airlines an
nounced they had cancelled al
most all their flights until noon.
(EST).
In New York alone, more than
600 flights into and out of the
city's three major- airports were
cancelled. About 50,000 passengers
were affected.
American Airlines said that as
a conseouence of the strike, it
would begin laying off 24.000
workers beginning at noon. Other
lines planned similar action today
unless the strike is settled.

Northeast Airlines, not on strike, .
was the only scheduled carrier
with direct service between New

was operating 50 per cent of its
flights, using twin-engined aircraft
and a "majority" of its jetliners
manned by supervisory personnel.
The flight engineers' spokesman
said a paralysis of international
air transportation would soon be
complete. He said engineers work

JOHNSON CITY, Tex. (UPD-
Vice President Lyndon B. John
son's private, white Convair plane
crashed Sunday night seven miles
from Johnson's LBJ ranch, killing
two pilots who were on board.
Texas Department ot pudiic
Safety, agent radioed from tlx:
scene today that they had found
the wreckage and the two dead
pilots: Harold Teague and Charles
Williams.
The plane, which Johnson used
for business trips, crashed Sunday
niEht. shortly after It had radioed
at 30 p.m. CST that the weather
was too bad for it to land at
Johnson's private airport and that
it was turned back to Ausun, oo
miles away.
Teague and Williams were fer
rying the plane from Austin to the
ranch. There is one lighted runway
at the ranch. There are instru
ment landing facilities at Austin.
The vice president was at the
ranch. An aide reported he was
up all night, telephoning his
friends on adjoining ranches to
find out whether they knew any
thing about the missing plane. .
A question arose today as to
how much of the plane Johnson
owns. Luther C. Berry, a San An
tonio insurance man, said he in
sured the plane for $250,000 with
Insurance Company of North
America, but he declined to say
who the owner is.
The San Antonio News said the
plane was owned by Johnson and
a group of political supporters, but
did not name the supporters. Ber
ry said American Airlines origi
nally owned the plane, but sold it
to an oilman who later sold it for
Johnson's use.

WASHINGTON (UPP-President
Kennedy sent Congress today a
controversy-laden education pro
gram which would authorize $5.6
billion in federal grants and loans
to build public schools, boost
teachers' salaries and increase
college opportunities.
Key provisions of the Presi
dent's special message would:
Authorize federal grants of
$2.3 billion for public school con
struction and teachers' salaries
for the next three years, with
each state deciding how much of
the money would go for each
function. The money would equal
a minimum of $15 for every pub
lic school student "in average
daily attendance."
Establish a five-year program
of state-administered scholarships
for up to 212,500 . "talented and
needy" college students at an
over-all federal cost of $577.5 mil-
j lion. The average scholarship
would be $700; the maximum
would be $1,000. Colleges and uni
versities would get $350 a year
additional for teaching each fed
eral scholarship student States
would have to pass out the schol
arships competitively "without re

money could not- go to any "pri
vate schools established to get
around court-ordered desegrega
tion. The school construction-teachers'
pay program would "assure every
state of no less than $15 for every
public school student in average
daily attendance." The nationwide
total would be $666 million in the
1962 fiscal year starting next
July 1; $766 million in the 1963
fiscal year and $866 million in the
following year.
Funds would tie distributed un
der an "equalization formula" by
which a state's average income
per pupil is measured against the
national average of $11,728. Those
below the national average would
get more funds than those above
it, subject to a floor of $15 per
pupil.
The highest figure per pupil is
$29.67 for Mississippi. The lows of
$15 are listed for Alaska, Connecti
cut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachu
setts, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and

loan program for five years at after would be used "to help
meet the unique problems of each
state s 'areas of special education
al need.'." These would include
problems of students in depressed
areas, slum neighborhoods and
other bolow-par sections.
Mtt Unique Problems
Officials said the "unique prob
lems" also conceivably could in
clude difficulties In adjusting to
desegregation of schools. An ex
ample cited was the need for
remedial reading courses for Ne
gro children who transferred to
white schools in the District of
Columbia several years ago.
Kennedy said that "our progress
as a nation can be no swifter than
our progress in education" be
cause "the human mind is our
fundamental resource."
The President said steps must
be taken to raise teachers' sal
aries and build a total of 600,000
classrooms in the next 10 years,
as well as to give special aid to
"underprivileged children" who
attend schools in depressed areas
and slum sections.
$250 million annually, and provide
$300 million a year in loans for
five years to help build college
Classrooms, laboratories, libraries
and related academic facilities.
Excludes Private Schools
Kennedy, the first Roman Cath
olic to serve in the White House,
made a special point of noting
that parochial and private ele
mentary and secondary schools
would be excluded from the program.
"In accordance with the clear
prohibition of the Constitution, no
elementary or secondary school
funds are allocated for construct
ing church schools or paying
church school teachers' salaries,"
the President said.
Kennedy, in an effort to win
over lawmakers, fearful of federal
control of schools, said "education
must remain a matter of state
and local control, and higher edu
cation a matter of individual
choice."
But he said the nation's "twin
coals must be:' a new standard of
excellence in education and the
availability of such excellence to
all who are willing and able to
pursue it."
"This is a modest program with
ambitious goals," Kennedy told
Congress. "For some 40 years,
the Conzress has wrestled with
this problem and searched for
workable solution. I believe that
we now have such a solution; and
that this Congress in this year will
make a land-mark contribution to
American education."
Federal aid to be provided for
elementary and secondary public
schools would be distributed under
a formula giving poorer states,
such as Mississippi, a bigger rela
tive share than richer states, such
as New York.
Up To States
Administration officials said the
states themselves would ' decide
how much of the money they get
would be used for construction
and how much to pay teachers.
There would be no itrings at
tached, except that each state
would have to "maintain its own
effort or contribution" and to allot
more money for education If its
share fails below the national
average.
Federal funds could go to racial
ly segregated schools under the
bill's provisions, if states so
choose, officials said. But the

0 & C counties present recreation development program
PORTLAND (UPI I - A multi
million dollar program of recrea
tional resource development for
Oregon was announced today by
the Association of O 4 C Counties,
featuring better roads to recrea
tion areas and improved facilities
In the Cascades, Siskijipus and
along the coast.
Darrell Jones, president of the
Association, told a news confer
ence a number of federal, lte
and local agencies had been in
vited to participate fn a cooper
ative effort to strengthen the
tourist industry, Oregon's third
largest.
The O 4 C counties pledged
both "leadership, and monpy as
earnings from controverted tim
ber Sides allow" to the program.
Jones said one part of the pro
posed program was eventual com
pletion of a network of high stand
ard roads linking outstanding rec
reational resources in the Cas
cades from Mt. Hood to Crater
Lake, across the Siskiyou and
Const ranges, and up the coast
from th California Una to Tilla
mook.
The program also calls for
"simultaneous development of ad
ditional public recreation facili
ties, and improvement of some
existing facilities, in cooperation
with all interested agencies of
government." The participation of
private investment in "first rate
facilities" also was encouraged.
Jones said money to be invest
ed by the 18 O 4 C countie would
come from i portion of earnings
from so . called "controverted"
O 4 C Umberlandt managed by
the Forest Service and regular
O 4 M lands administered by
the Bureau of Land Management.
By law 75 per cent of earnings
from all 0 4 C lands go to the
counties and 25 per cent U the
federal government. Since the
1953 fiscal year, the counties have
voluntarily reinvested close to one
third of their share In access
roads, reforestation, and recently
recreatior,dl development. Nearly
(45 million has been reinvested
this way, Jones said. Last year
$172,000 was Invested in i camp
site development program on
4 C lands managed by BLM, in
cooperation with that agency. An
other $100,000 is heing spent this
year and $250,000 next year.
Last September the O &
counties approved a similar but
vastly expanded program in co
operation with the Forest Serv
ice. In this program, develop
ment! will not be restricted to
sites on O 4 C lands, but will be
extended to other public lands
such as National Forests within
the If counties.
U. S. shock
expressed by
Stevenson
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (UPI)
Six followers of slain Patrice
Lumumba were executed after
their deportation by Congo Presi
dent Joseph Kasavubu into the
Congo's violently anti-Lumumbist
Kasai Province, Secretary-general
Dug Hammarskjold told the Se
curity Council today.
Soviet Ambassador Valerian A.
Zorin charged that the Kasavubu
government "is carrying out a
campaign of systematic exter
mination of the national leaders
of the Congo."
He put full blame on Hammar
skjold and Belgium for support
of Uie Congo regime of Kasavubu,
secessionist leader Moise Tshom
be and army strongman Ma,
Gen. Josoph D. Mobutu. Zorin de
manded the arrest of Tshomba
and Mobutu.
Council Adjourns
The council adjourned almost at
once after hearing Hammarsk
jold's announcement shock. It
agreed to Liberian Ambassador
George A. Padmore's request for
adjournment until 3 p.m.. EST, to
permit him to consult other Afri
can delegates.
U.S. Ambassador' Adlai E. Ste
venson said he was instructed to
"express our shock, revulsion and
indignation" at Uie latest "exam
ple of barbarity."
Zorin seized upon the announce
ment as the basis for a compre
hensive speech. He recalled that
he had opposed the council's week- ,
end adjournment last Friday and
said "every day's postponement
is untying Uie hands of Uie ter
rorist regime which Is now rag
ing In Leopoldville and Katanga."
Passive Attitude
"We are convinced," Zorin said,
"that if the United Nations con
tinues its passive attitude in the
adoption of decisive measiaes
against the Belgian aggressors
and their stooges, we will have
further victims and will be faced.
with a complete catastrophe..."
The six political prisoners were
transferred from Leopoldville to
Bakwanga in the strongly anti-
Lumumbist province last week.
Rajcshwar Dayal of India, and
Hammarskjold's special rcpresen-
ative in Uie Congo, informed tha
secretary-general this morning ha
had been notified by "Uie so-
called minister of justice of
South Kasai" that they had been
executed.
Hammarskjold protested trans
fer of the political prisoners lata
last week in a stern note to
Joseph Ileo, premier in the
government of Congolese Presi
dent Joseph Kasavubu. ,
U.N. "Powerless"
Hammarskjold said tha United
Nations was "powerless in tho
face of such policies." Ha said it
was humiliating to be confronted
with such acta by the Leopoldville
government and said it was for
the council to judge "how theso
latest developments should influ
ence U.N. actions in relation to
the Congo."
It is obvious that even H Hiera
should be criminal charges against
some of the individuals I note,
however, that to my knowledge no

Uie accused under Uie commonly
