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

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

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.

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.

a list of persons living in West
Coast states who were killed in

Transport plane in Hawaii yes

in releasing the names the plane
was flown by a Navy crew but

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.

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.

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

Railroad Center Houses
Historical Carved Models
Crestline, O. (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.

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.

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.
