Salem, Oregon, Wednesday, February 13, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAU SectioTT I Page" 9 Cash Lacking for Flood Insurance By FRANCES LEWINE I WASHINGTON Ufi - Government-sponsored flood insurance, on the lawbooks for six months, still is not available to aid in the latest flood disasters. And it may be late spring or early summer past some of the peak flood seasons in many areas before any Dolicies are writtpn Holding things up at the moment is a loo-milhon-dollar appropria tion awaiting coneressional action "When we get the money, we'll be in operation," savs Commis sioner Frank J. Meistrell, in Woman Kills 3 Tots, Self WOOD RIVER, 111. Ml - Mrs. Norman Robertson, 25, who had been under psychiatric treatment. slashed the throats of her three little boys yesterday and killed herself. Helen Andrews, Mrs. Robert son's 12-year-old sister, discovered the tragedy when she stopped on the way home from school to play with her nephews. The father, 33-year-old vocation al guidance counselor for a social agency in St. Louis, said his wife was a patient at a mental hospital for four weeks after the youngest boy, Mark, was born six months ago. The other boys were David, 4, and .Eric, 3. All died. charge of the Federal Flood In demnity Administration.- The government took on the ex periment of underwriting flood in surance after disastrous 19SS-S6 floods in the Northeast because no private insurance companies were willing to take the risk. The biggest problem in launch ing the program has been to de termine a schedule of rates for the 37 states classed as flood areas. - The rates are ready now though still a secret. Flood policies will be handled through 150,000 private insurance agents and brokers. Between 1,500 and 4,000 insurance companies will act for the government on a set fee" or cost reimbursement basis. The government will pay the agents' fees and also absorb 40 per cent of the cost of the policy. The rates will vary according to the risk of flood damage. The government is authorized to write five billion dollars worth of infiipaniu with a mavimiim flf ' $250,000 for any one person and all top of $10,000 for. any private dwelling. The law is geared pri marily to aid the small business man and small home owner and also provides for loan contracts to help cover flood losses. Milady's Hair Hue Must Fit Rest of Decor DALLAS WV-"Honey, run down to the drugstore and get me some light green hair rinse. I'm out and I want to wear my new green dress tonight." That's one of the things hus bands will face if the Texas Assn. of American Beauty Culturists has Its way. Just by way of demonstration, pretty Peg Murphy of Dallas had her hair changed from lavender to bright copper yesterday. Some 5,000 beauty operators and manufacturers attended the con vention where hair stylists are presenting the latest in cutting and coloring. "A lady's hair color is as im nortant a Dart of her makeup as rouge, or lipstick or any clothing accessories, said Duane tiiater, Minneapolis stylist. "If her hair is not the right color, she simply is not beautifully dressed." Colors, he said, will be selected to accent a woman's eyes and skin tones, and often to go espe cially with her fanciest outfits. Slater ruled out long hair as an absolute 1957 "no." The 1957 look, Slater said, will nccent wide swirls of curls from the ears up, with the hair falling close to the cheeks on the sides, and zrushed up in the back. "Nn hair in the back will be vis lble from the front," he explained. Bank Robber Gets 5 Years PORTLAND Wl Paul James Lambertson. 28. who robbed Klamath Falls bank to meet his bills and finance his wedding, was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison. Federal Judge William G. East said this was a comparatively light .sentence, given because of Lambertson s good record. Lambertson s attorney, George K. Tomlinson, said it was a spur- of-the-moment affair when Lam bertson, unarmed, demanded money from a teller of the First National Bank at Klamath Falls last November. Domestic prob lems and heavy debts caused it, the attorney said. He got $2,700. Lambertson was paying $325 monthly, in a divorce settlement including support for his children and had take-home pay of only $350. he said. His bride-to-be was waiting at the church when told Lambertson was in jail. Tomlinson said Lambertson's friends hold him in such esteem they are paying off his debts. House Okays Bill Extending CDA A bill extending the life of the state Civil Defense agency until June 30. 1959. was passed by the House Tuesday and sent to the Senate. Undtr present law, the agency would die next June 30. The only dissenting votes were cast by Reps. Robert A. Bennett (R), Portland, and Edwin E. Cone (R), Eugene. ADA Supports Aid to Schools WASHINGTON Wl Americans for Democratic Action today urged enactment of a federal school construction bill providing a billion dollars annually for new classrooms. Edward D. Hollander, national director of ADA. said in testi mony prepared for a House Edu cation subcommittee: "We are sure the federal gov ernment can 'afford' such a pro gram. We see no reason why pub lic education has to yield priority in the federal budget to, say, pub lic roads; or priority in labor and materials to supermarkets or of fice buildings." i Hollander said the Eisenhower I administration's proposal, which calls for an outlay of $1,300,000,000 for school building over the next: four vears. indicates a "decision to spare the budget and spoil the J child."
