Fairless told the committee that "year after year" steel orofits nave oeen Deiow tne average of leading manuiacturers. I am not going to cry on any one's shoulder about it,"' he said. i am merely going to noint out that in view of the heavy capital needs which we face in the future. the rehabilitation of investor con fidence in steel issues has become problem of immediate and ma jor importance." Fairless. one of the natinn'e highest-paid industrialists, said the oicci uiuusiry s prooiem in gelling new funds for expansion is due "in no small degree" to existing tax laws with "unwise and dis criminatory double taxation of cor porate income and dividends." "But it is also nartlv due hevnnit doubt." he said, "to the fact that our industry has not. in the past. provided a fair and dependable return to its investors." Stressing his view that lnvl. ors conlidence must be increased, r airless said: "To this end we. have stendilv expanded our incentive program at every level of our operations. . . . and thus, with the marked up turn mat iias occurred in our bust ness since then, we were able early this year to imnrove nnr Hi. vioena accordingly."

"Its wings were sheared off but the fuselage was intact except for the nose. "The nose was crumpled up like cellophane. "Two ambulances came near the scene but got stuck in the mud. We started taking out the injured as other ambulances arrived but it was close to. 1 a.m. before we got them all out." The plane crashed about p.m. Because there was no fire, res cuers had difficulty finding the plane in the darkness. Then the mud stopped approaching vehi cles, and the rescuers had to walk. A highway patrol car finally reached the plane and its radio was used to call for ambulances and doctors. But the car's motor gave out, adding to difficulties. It was 214 hours before the first ambulance reached a hos pital with some victims.

"After we talked and joked a while just ordinary baby talk I told my wife I had a story to tell her about how her baby spent the night in Houston. Then I handed her a copy of the Beaumont Enter prise. "She couldn't grasp It, couldn't believe it. We had to start at the beginning and tell the whole story again." The Whartonj have two other children, Jimmy. 2, and another girl, Leslie, 4. Wharton said they planned to call the new arrival Carol Sue. "But the newspapers have been ' putting it 'Carolyn Sue.' And we might just leave it Carolyn Sue."

Officers said Mrs. Schulze. who worked in the Beaumont hospital in early 1951 as a nurse's aide, had told neighbors she was pregnant. Suspicious, they telephoned Hous ton police. Motor Vehicles, tContlnued from Jafe 1) In arguing for the bill Senator Geddes slated that the bill is no reflection on the present secre tary of -tate, Earl T. Newbry. "As f-r as I know he has ad ministered the department of motor vehicles in an efficient manne., he said. Sen. Geddes aaid that the principal reasnna for fh hill is that at present the department of motor vehicles is actually not under budget control. "Further there are seven dif ferent state departments dealing with motor vehicles." Sen r;.H. ues oeciared. "All these depart ments, except the motor v.hiri. department, are now under the supervision and purisdiction of the governor." In support of his objections to the bill, Senator Sweelland list ed what he termed five major points. He charged that the bill undermines civil service: is not a consolation of motor vehicle functions of the state: i a or.nt of wide new powers including power to abolish any number of civil service positions; would be. more costly and is unneeded since no facts were presented to show that the department at present is Inefficient or incom. petenL Senator Carl Francis who did not support the bill in the hieh. way committee, where it was con sidered, declared that Senator Sweetland's attack violated rules of the senate, were based on false premises and his opposition to the bill v-as not in support of the allegations made by Sweet land, but because he was not shown the need for the transfer. Senator Francis said that Ren. Maurine Neurbcrger had been a member of the interim commit tee that studied the proposal and was co-author of the bill. "I don't think that Ren. Neil- berger is parading under the Republican banner for sinster purposes." Those voting against the bill were Senators Harry Boivin, Klamath Falls; Phil Brady, Mul tnomah county; Joseph K. Car son, Mulli.cmah county, Carl Francis, Yamhill county, Harry George, Jr. Multnomah county and Monroe Sweetland, Clacka mas county. The population of the U. S.
