Says Russ
On Heels
U. S. Still Ahead
But Soviet Fast
Catching Up
WASHINGTON W Gen. Nathan
F. Twining testified Tuesday the
United States Air Force still is
ahead of Soviet llussia in top qual
ity combat airpowcr, defenses and
guided missiles.
But he told a closed-door session
of the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee "the Communists can build
strength faster than we originally
predicted."
The Air Force chief of staff said
Soviet leaders arc pulling extra ef
forts into reseai.h and develop
ment. "This greater effort could also
result in the Soviets oDlaimng Dei
ter missiles sooner than we,
added.
"They have stated they expect
to have ocean-spanning weapons in
the near future,' Twining said.
"Judging from their progress in
aircraft, the could make good this
combination of promises and
boasts.'1
Twining and Secretary of Air j
Force Quarles were called lor com
mittee questioning against a back
ground of irotests from a number
of senators that this country's air
supremacy is bqing challenged.
Twining's stimato of Russian
and U. S. capabilities was handed
to newsmen outside the committee
room, apparently after military
secrets had been deleted.
The Air Force leader said Sovi
et Russia now has many more
combat aircraft than the United
States Air Force, but he credited
this country with being ahead in
quality a ndstriking power.
He conceded that the Commu
nists have advanced both in quan
tity and quality of aircraft and
missiles much faster than our ex
perts believed possible as recently
as eight months ago.
In the missile field, Twining said
this country is making progress but
added:
"No one can guarantee at this
time that our future schedules on
these ballistics missiles will be
met."

Ike Asks Flood
Control Funds
THOMASVILLE, Ga. Ifl Presi
dent Eisenhower Tuesday asked
Congress fo. supplemental appro
priations to finance flood control
projects in California and Oregon.
James C. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, said at Eisenhow
er's vacation headquarters here the
requests will not increase the fed
eral spending budget for the fiscal
year starting July 1.
The reason, he said, is that the
increase requests are being ac
companied by decreased suggest
ions in other fields. The over-all
result, Hagerty added, is a net
decrease of $65,000 in the total
budget.
Eisenhower asked for $400,000 for
a general appraisal by the army
engineers of need for flood control
projects in the Far Western states.
He also requested that $3,990,000
be transferred from other budget
categoric- .-r a start on three
flood control projects in California
the Success and Terminus Res
ervoirs in the Central Valley area,
and the American River levees in
the Sacramento region.
Of that total, S50.000 would be
used to speed tp work on the John
son Creek flood control project
near Portland, Ore.
Tax Receipts
Up $7 Million
State income tax receipts from
all sources during the present fis
cal year, including the month of
January totaled S34.097.90 1.97, an
increase of S7.401.538.35 over the
receipts in the sr.me period a
year ago, according to Tax Com
misioncr Ray Smith, in charge of
the income tax division.
Returns from both personal in
come and corporate excise taxes
for the period showed a marked
increase, with collections from
the personal income taxpayers to
taling $24,108,607.63 as compared
with S18.173.136.31 during a sim
ilar period.
Corporate income tax reeepits
'for the period totaled S9.294.
132.12 or sn increase of $1,536,
658.20 over the collections, for
the hst fiscal year including
January collections.
Commisi1nr Smith said that
personal income taj collections
last month totaled S6.553.946.56,
twice as much as was collected in
January, 1955 when the total per
sonal tax collections totaled $3,
316,519.17. A slight incrc-Sse inhe corpor
ate excise tax collections was
made in January, Smithcsaid.

Schools Location
Outside City Cuts
Cost by $200,000
By A. L. LINDBECK
By locating the two new junior high schools outside the city limits
the Salem school board will save the taxpayers of the district approxi
mately $200,000, according to Architect William I. Williams, who is
drafting the plans and specifications
This saving of approximately 10
liams explains, arises from the fact that the buildings will not have
to conform to the higher building restrictions imposed by the city's
building code.
And yet, Williams insists, the new buildings will be absolutely
safe.
A part of this substantial saving, according to Williams, will be
in the Steel columns and beams. The rilv rrtrin reniiir thnt thoco
be fireproofed. This material specified for the two new junior high
schools will not be fireproofed. However, being steel, they will not
burn but might buckle and sag if subjected to terrific heat.
Another savins will hp effected in the evterinr w.ilU Thnm u-ili
be partly frame construction whereas inside the city they would need
to be of piatcrial concrete or brick able to resist a fire for at
least two hours.
Still another substantial saving will be made in the type of ceil
ing to be used in the new buildings, an exposed steel decking in com
bination with accoustieal tile.
An apparent inconsistency! in this situation is to be found in
the fact that one of the new buildinss the one near the Washinc-
he,ton grade school will be located
the city boundary and which may well be taken into the city in the
not loo distant future.
Williams explained that he was not finding fault with the city
building code, which is a uniform code used by the city of Portland
and most Oregon municipalities. (Continued on Page a, Column 4i

Man Indicted
For Assault
HIIXSBORO Ml A Washington
County grand jury Monday indict
ed Louis Forrest, 24, member of
the school board at nearby Seo
field, on a charge of assault and
battery.
Mrs. Essa Robertsoi.. 55, accused
him of beating her after an argu
ment last Tuesday. Mrs. Robertson
is the teacher at the one-room
Scofield school for pupils through
the sixth grade. She said Forrest
blackened her eye and hit her in
the jaw. Forrest denied it.
The teacher said Forrest and his
cousin, Mrs. Yula Felals, started
an argument with her over move
ment of some unused desks. Mrs.
Fellas is janitor at the school.
Mrs. Fellas said the teacher
threw a hnnlc at tier, hut that she
did not see any blows. Forrest said I
a "shoving match" started and
Mrs. Robertson fell against a sink.
Mrs. Fellas and Samuel Hanson,
74, school board chairman, re
signed pending outcome of the dis
pute. County Judge Harry Seabold
asked all five school board mem
bers to rc.-.ign. Forrest is the only
one who lcfused to d. so.
Public Offices

Nearly a dozen different rec

around two major suggestions for

Governor Elmo Smith said that
his study of the report indicated
that, at best, the change-over from
the present system would be a
rather long process. Manpower
problems, trained personnel and
other factors will have to be con

to the one proposed for all state
institutions except the State Tuber

Governor Smith indicated that the
first implementation of the plan

Wishart's committee accepted a
$2,50C campaign contribution from
John M. Neff, Lexington, Neb.,

Benson Fights
Rigid Props in
House Hearing
WASHINGTON' Wl Secretary
of Agriculture Benson Tuesday
carried his fight against a return
to high, rigid farm price supports
to the House Agriculture Commit
tee a group that has supported
them in the past.
Outlining the administration's
new farm program proposals, the
secretary said in a prepared state
mcnt:
"The continuation of wartime
price supports far beyond war
time needs is one of the causes
of our agricultural difficulties."
Benson's new appeal for the
flexible support system was made
as the Senate prepared to debate
a farm bill approved by its Agri
culture Committee which also
would restore the 90 per cent sup
ports for 1955 and 1957 crops as
well as authorize a soil bank pro
gram proposed by the President.
Benson made no direct reference
to the Senate bill nor to specula
tion as to whether such legislation
would be vetoed by the President
should it carry the high support
provisions.
He said that "war time incen
tives" were continued in peace
time "with the apparent hope that
they would protect farm income.

75 passengers were stranded there.
The Redwood Highway south out
of Grants Pass was opened at mid

The Southern Pacific's main rail
line in the Cascade Mountains was
blocked by hrce slides some 45
miles south of Oakridgc. Snow,
mud and trees littered the tracks.

One ot the slides swept down on
a passing freight train, the rail
road s dispatcher at Portland said,
derailing two cars and cutting
communications. No one was hurt.
H eight and passencer trains warn
halted.
Heavy and continuing rainfall
brought the flooding and slides on
the long-soaked hillsides. The start
was similar to that of the disas
trous December flooding which
spread over Southern Oregon and
Northern California.

by the flooding Rogue River. It
said the road couldn't be opened
lucsuny.
The samo highway also was
closed ' between Myrtle Creek and
Dillard by a slide and culvert wash
out. This section was scheduled
for reopening later in the day.
The snow slide on the Santiam
was at Hog Rock. It is near the
summit on the section where both
the Norlh and South Santiam high
ways merge into a- single route.
The Mcdford-Provol and Pow
