Crippled Jet
Lands Safely
Portland W) An Air Fore
jet interceptor had to make a
forced belly landing at the
Portland Air Base Wednesday
night
Unable to get its wheels
down, the jet flew until it ran
its fuel down, then came in
for the landing, sending up a
shower of sparks, but not even
touching the wings. Two Port
land airmen climbed out, un
scathed. Meanwhile, three commer
cial planes and a Navy trans
port had to circle aloft waiting
for the jet to come in, and
fire equipment, which had
been standing by, to clear the
field.
Also affected was the trans
fer of an iron lung patient from
a recently landed plane to a
hospital bound truck. The fire
men, who had been aiding in
the transfer, had to rush out
to stand by for the jet land:
ing. The transfer of the pa
tient, Mrs. Joelene Rigutto, of
Portland, was made success
fully. She was being returned

bled by 1860. She aaid the to
tal might reach 750,000 by thai
year, a climb from today's level
of an estimated 385,000.
Dr. Eliot accused economy

governments of failing to pro
vide enough funds to do a real
job in the juvenile delinquen
cy field.

3 Missing Claimants
P0W Benefits Located
By JAMES
Three of five missing claim
ants of World War II prisoner
of war benefits have been lo
cated as a result of recent pub
licity in Oregon newspapers
and radio stations, the state de
partment of veterans affairs an
nounced Thursday.
Two were living veterans Al
bert Leo Killis of Bandon who
had given Umatilla as his ad
dress when he applied and
Charles Murray Roberts of
Portland, formerly of Coos Bay.
The third missing claimant
was Wallace Glenn Taylor of
Portland. After applying, he,
moved to Los Angeles where
he later died. His widow now
Mrs. Beverly Slaten, as she has
since remarried was In Port
land on a visit when a friend
saw her late husband's name in
the paper In connection with
the benefit due him.
She called in the Portland

cons -of liquor-by-the-drlnk in
the college town.
The issue nai brought ' a
sharp split of opinion in Cor
vallis. Six applications for
liquor-by-the-drink licenses are
before the Commission after
being approved by a 5-4 mar
gin by the city council.
Presenting principal argu
ments today were the Rev.
Robert Bulkley for the "drys"
and Percy Locey for the "wets."
Locey, former Oregon State
college athletic director, now is
sales manager for an oil com
pany in Corvallir.
Bulkley spoke first He said
the group he represented wax
not organized, but that it rep
resented some 200 Corvallis
citizens who had banded to
gether after the council revers
ed its earlier stand and approv
ed the applications be sent to
the Commlsion for considera
tion. "I want it clearly understood
that I am not arguing the mer
its of liquor-by-the-drink," he
said. "But I'm questioning the
desirability of granting licenses
before a vote of the people.
Locey read a brief prepared
statement in which he said he
represented a group of citizens
and businei men who are think
ing of the best Interests of the
community. He said business
men felt they should have equal
opportunities with neighboring
cities and thit they felt they
were losing them by not having
liquor by the drink.

CIO Demands
Repeal of T-H
Cleveland W) The CIO
convention paid little heed to
day to Secretary of Labor
James P. Mitchell's advice to
quit talking about scuttling the
Taft-Hartley Act.
Instead, it pushed ahead
with a resolution calling for
outright repeal of what it
called an "unfair and unjust"
law.
CIO President Walter P.
Reuther said the resolution,
prepared well in advance of
the new labor secretary's con
vention speech yesterday
would not be altered. There
was no doubt that It would
pass.
Mitchell told the 700 dele
gates that an approach to labor
legislation starting "from the
point of realism" would "pre
clude further talk of repeal of
the act . . . "

returned to Los Angeles, where
she will file for the claim. Mrs.
Slaten- has a daughter by her
former husband and it is likely
the mother and daughter will
share in the payment, the vet
erans department said.
The war claims act provides
Denents to World War II pris
oners of war only not Korean
veterans. The act provides pay
ment of $1 for each day an
American serviceman failed to
receive adequate food during
imprisonment in an enemy
prisoner of war camp under
terms of the Geneva convention
and $1.50 for each day the
prisoner was subjected to forc
ed labor or Inhuman treatment.
Payments have amounted to as
much as $2,000 In some cases.
The date for applying under the
act expired April , 1953.

this economic situation had se
rious political consequences
since It would lead the united
States to try for ways of solv
ing it
The method in the past, he
said, and the one being follow

in international tensions and
thereby step up war produc
