Neuherger Declares Talent Frojeci Being Dsnored bv G!P After Election Washington, D.C. (Special) Senator Neuberger of Oregon recently made the charge that now the election is over the Re publican administration is pay ing no attention to the Talent irrigation project and instead is concentrating on athorization of the upper Colorado River stor age project. In a recent short talk on the Senate floor Oregon's junior senator spoke in part as follows: Mr. President, during the past two weeks, a number of employ ees of various agencies of the Department of Interior have been testifying before commit tees of Congress in behalf of au thorization of the upper Color ado storage project. The admin istration has thrown platoon after platoon of engineers, heads of administrative agencies, and technical experts into the lines to support this project which entails expenditure of about $1,500,000,000. ' I do not at this time intend to explain my position on the up per Colorado proposal; but, be cause of the administration's at titude on an important reclama tion project in the State of Ore gon, this display of support raises an important and un resolved question. I have been advised by the Bureau of "Reclamation that the benefit-cost ratio or the upper Colorado River storage project with 11 participating projects is 1.31 to 1. The President's 1956 budget has tentatively earmark ed S10,000,000 for the Colorado Rain, Terrain Slow Efforts To Recover Bodies of Crash Victims Honolulu, T.H. (U.R) Rain and rugged terrain today hamp ered the efforts of crews at tempting to recover the remains of 66 persons killed in Hawaii's worst aviation tragedy. Twenty-two bodies were re moved yesterday, but efforts were halted by bad weather and the fact that parts of the wreck age were still too hot to ap proach, nearly 14 hours after the crash. The four engined MATS R6D carried soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines from 28 states. A family group of three, a sailor, his wife and daughter, were mong the victims. Returning to States Besides the Navy crew bf nine, the plane carried 17 Air Force, four Navy, 12 Marine and 22 Army personnel, the woman and her child. The servicemen were returning to the United States for leaves or reassign ment. Military authorities today pondered the possibility that freak atmospheric conditions vere responsible for the craih. They were unable to explain why the pilot was eight miles off course when the plane crash ed only minutes from three airports. The huge aircraft virtually disintegrated on impact and the wreckage burst into flame like a gasoline torch. The aircraft was attached to Air Transport Squadron three at Moffett Naval Air Station, about Pattern of Death Follows Plane Crash Windber, Pa. (U.R) A strange pattern of deaths in Pennsylvania families preceded and followed yesterday's crash of a Navy transport plane in Hawaii which killed 66 persons. One of the crash victims, Pvt. John R. Panetti, 29, was en route to his home in "Windber after obtaining a 30 day emergency furlough to be at the bedside of his ailing mother. The soldier's mother, Mrs. Minnie Panetti, 61, died a few hours after the crash, unaware that her son was one of those killed. Sgt. Warren R. Huler, Shamo kin. Pa., who also died in the crash, boarded the ill-fated plane after cancelling an earlier ship reservation. Huler was return ing home to attend the funeral of his brother, Donald, 18, who died of a heart attack March 18. 40 miles south of San Francis co, and was en route to Travis Air Force Base, some 50 miles east of the Golden Gate. Radio Trouble Reported The plane took off from Hick am Field Monday night and re ported three hours east pf Hono- Marine Engineer Confesses Sinking Ship for Insurance Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (U.R) Brazilian police disclosed today a marine engineer confessed sinking his ship on the high seas while his captain slept so an un identified mastermind would collect more than $1,000,000 in insurance. The engineer, now awaiting trial, is Eurico Klinger whose confession solved the mysterious foundering of the Brazilian coastal vessel Santa Maria. The Santa Maria slipped beneath tpe waves last November for no known reason with a cargo val ued at $1,500,000. No Rescue Vessels In the early hours of Nov. 22, Klinger checked with the radio man and found no possible res cue vessels were within three hours sailing distance. Then he slipped below and opened the underwater valves of the ship, police said. When Capt. Milton da Suva awoke he found the ship almost swamped although there had been no alarm. He gave the or der to all hands to abandon ship after frantic efforts to find the cause proved unsuccessful the valves were well under water by then. Drifted in Life Boats The captain, his wife and the crew drifted in life boats for several hours on the calm sea until they were picked up by the Laennec, a French cargo ship which received their SOS but arrived too late to save the Santa Maria. Police did not disclose the name of the mastermind who, they said, chartered the ship and hired Klinger to open the valves. lulu that it was turning back due to radio trouble. It was 36 minutes overdue at Hickam when the crash occurred. Pvt. Robert Kemp, 37 - year old former prisoner of war from Davenport, la., missed the ill fated flight by accident. He was on his way from Japan to Fort Ord, Calif., where he was to be discharged after 15 years of service. He said, however, he was sit ting in a cafeteria when his flight was announced and he failed to hear the announce ment. He was flown to Califor nia on a later flight. Washington (U.R) Below are a list of persons living in West Coast states who were killed in the crash of a Military Air Transport plane in Hawaii yes terday. The Defense Department said in releasing the names the plane was flown by a Navy crew but they have not been listed sepa rately from the pasengers. project if it is approved by Con gress. The Bureau also advised me that the irrigation benefit cost ratio for the Talent project in southern Oregon is 1:30 to 1. Following its authorization last year, Republican Party candi dates used the Talent project as a springboard for political cele brations. Yet this year, not a single dollar is provided in the budget for this necessary and beneficial project. I wonder if this is to become the administration's policy on irrigation projects to push for project authorization and then withdraw interest when it comes time to make the project a re ality through construction? The upper Colorado River project and the Talent project have vir tually identical benefit-cost fea tures. Talent is authorized, but no construction funds are avail able. Will the administration's interest in the upper Colorado project suddenly wane after authorization is won, as it appar ently and unfortunately did in the case of the Talent project? The administration's attitude on the Talent project is a betray al of the people of southern Ore gon. I shall continue to do all in my power to bring about appro priations for the Talent project, which compares favorably to undertakings the administration is promoting elsewhere in the Nation.

FRANKFORT. KV. Patterson Sees River Dredging Next Year Portland (U.R) Gov. Paul L. Patterson told ' a group of maritime leaders here last night that he believed the $8,500,000 Columbia river dredging pro ject would get under way in 1956. The governor said the im provement program was vital if Portland was to keep its position as the "second port" on the Pa cific. He said he had emphasiz ed the importance of the project to President Eisenhower on his recent visit to Washington, D.C. "There is little hope that funds will be allocated this session," he said, "but I feel confident that the money will be allocat ed next year and that construc tion will start immediately. The project should be completed within two and one-half years. Flood Control Study Of Malheur Planned Washington (U.R) Army En gineers are scheduled to make a flood control study of the Mal heur river and its tributaries, Rep. Sam Coon (R-Ore.) said to day. Coon said a House flood con trol subcommittee approved a resolution calling for the $70,000 study, which would be incor porated into a study, which would be incorporated into a study now being made of the Snake river's upper reaches. Congress had already author ized $47,000 for the Snake study, and is considering a pro posal to raise the amount by $50,000.

(uR) It seems proper that this village which was one of the first rail road centers in the United States also has one of the finest col lections of carved historical train models. Ned Reed, who died recently, carved out the little locomotives, cars and tracks as a hobby. The! collection went to the Crestline Shunk museum after his death. Railroads reached here in 1851. Today it is the site of one of the Pennsylvania Railroad's big diesel repair and service shops, as well as one of the roundhouses. Railroads cut across the main street in several places, but de spite the bustle of the yards, Crestline itself has remained small. Court Records POLICE COURT' Beverly M.

Russian Youth Says Teen-Agers Imitate Americans Berlin (U.R) A Soviet Air Force officer's jazz loving son who fled to the West said today teenagers in Russia like to imi tate Americans. Valery A. Lysikov, 17, told a press conference Soviet boys and girls are wild about jazz. And like boys anywhere they find girls hard to understand. "Jazz is very popular but it's almost nonexistent; that is, as far as the government radio and stage is concerned. We used to jazz it up ourselves the best way we could," Lysikov said. He said boys and girls in Rus sia like to dress the way they imagine Americans do. "I hear now the big fad in Moscow is bow ties," he said. "The kids think they are very American. But of course bow ties are hard to get." Girls Said Funny Asked how boy meets girl in Russia, he replied "girls are funny. You just cannot talk to them. They are hard to get along with. They always are complain ing about something. They are never satisfied. "But maybe some day I will meet a girl you can get along with, a girl you can really get to know. Then I'll feel different about them," the Russian youth added. He said in Russia the boys re fer to girls as "snakes." He explained why with his hands indicating the name comes from a girl's wiggle as she walks. Valery has been granted asy lum here.

(Main Society Page 2) Canned Corrf, Beans Good Buys This Month Says OSC Specialist Corvallis Watch for the ex cellent buys in canned sweet corn and canned snap beans this month. Dorothy Sherrill, exten sion consumer education spec ialist at Oregon State college, says they'll be featured bar gains. The United States department of agriculture and food market ing groups are emphasizing corn and beans from March 17 to 26. They'll be playing up the plenti- ful supply, attractive consumer prices and the many ways to serve these two foods. There are millions of cases of these foods on hand. That's why prices are so attractive now. The 1954 packs were rec ord high and there's a large carry-over from the year before. While these , foods are such outstanding buys, try sampling several brands at different prices, Miss Sherrill suggests. As you open each can, tear off the label. Then after you taste the food, write on the label your comments about the quality. It might help, too, to list the store where you bought it and the price. Then when you check back on your results, you'll have a good guide for the kind to buy in quantity while these attractive prices hold. 4 Mrs. Geneva Ruth To Be Class Hostess Golden Link Bible class of First Baptist church will meet Thursday.
