TgyMEPFOHP (ORBCOIT) MAIL TRIBUNE Thuiiday, March 31, I95S ilk (Grading ISeDD Survives Excuse by Single Vote Salem (U.R) A milk trrad ing bill, which passed the House yesterday after two days of de bate, was up for first reading in the Senate today. The bill yesterday survived by a one-vote margin a move by Rep. Kay Meriwether (D - Port land) to have it sent back to com mittee. A call of the House rounded up all but three absent members to vote on the motion which Mrs. Meriwether said was aimed at clarifying a con stitutional question posed by Rep. Jean Lewis, another Port land Democrat. The bill would raise the stand ards for grade B milk and en countered the objections of mem bers who said it would force small operators out of business or seriously curtail their activi ties. Final House vote on the bill was 34 to 23. New bills, introduced in the House yesterday included a reso lution by Rep. Lewis to set up an interim committee with $3. 500 to spend for the study of sex crime prevention. Rep. Elmer Deetz (R-Canby) introduced a measure to exempt from any statutory regulation the sale of farm produce on the premises. A bill with 29 sponsors in both House and Senate would pro hibit any state employee or offi cer from having an interest in any contract made with his branch of the government if that employee participates in the awarding of the contract. LIQUOR BILL KILLED Salem (U.R) The Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday voted 7 to 1 to table (thus kill ing) a bill which would have Ellowed private clubs to serve liquor by the drink without serving food. However, Sen. Warren Gill, chairman, said he understood the food requirements for pri vate clubs would be ignored be cause of two opinions by the at torney general which held that forcing clubs to serve food con travened the liquor-by-the-rirink amendment. ASK TAX FREEDOM Salem lU.R) Representa tives of private colleges and uni versities yesterday appealed to the House Taxation Committee to leave undisturbed their his- Elephant Understudy Gets Chance; Marilyn Makes Appearance Too By H. D. Quigg United Press Correspondent New York U.R) An under study who got her big chance to star at the mammoth opening performance of the circus came Wednesday night and just stop ped the show at Madison Square Garden. Her name was Karnaudi, an xotic miss, a native of India. Mamie Sends Note, Flowers to Child Washington (U.R) Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower has sent a bouquet of rose sand a note to a six-year-old girl believed dying from a brain tumor in a hospital here. The first lady noticed an ac count of Linda Carpenter's ill ness in the Washington Post and Times Herald Tuesday. She sent the flowers with this note: "Dear Little Linda, "I do hope that when this little note reaches you it will find you greatly improved. The thoughts and prayers of all your friends have been with you ever since the accident on Feb. 3 and I wanted you to know that my prayers too are numbered among them. My best wishes to you, Linda. Mamie Dowd Eisenhow er." Linda, daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Carpenter, slipped off a sled Feb. 3 and struck her head. The injury may have ag gravated a tumor pressing against the base of her brain. Doctors have operated three times in an effort to relieve the pressure. But Linda is not ex pected to live. ; Neighbors of Linda's family have started a drive to raise money to help pay the hospital bills. Linda's father is a bus driver. When she appeared nude, ex cept for two coats of pink paint people stood and cheered. Men howled and whistled. A mob of photographers and reporters milled about her as she minced around the tanbark. Miss Karnaudi took the ap plause ,in stride. She stopped now and then to bow and wave her trunk. She is a good ele phant. In her triumph she didn't seem to mind that riding astride her neck was a movie actress, a Miss Marilyn Monroe. Miss Monroe also was rather scantilly clad. She wore a few ostrich feathers and a striped velvet bow behind her, and nothing such before except a strapless, legless bodice spat tered with sequins and pearls. Milton Berle, the master of cere monies, took a look and said to the multitude: "Compared to her, Jane Rus sell's a boy." Both Miss Monroe and Miss Karnaudi .stand out in many re spects. They circled the track in four minutes, smiling at their respective admirers, moving to gether with a certain rhythm. Tanks To Tusks - The idea of a pink elephant is to represent the "Morning After New Year's Eve" in a parade of holidays. It was put in especially for a star-studded benefit for the Arthritis and Rheumatism foun dation staged at the opening night of the Ringling Bros. Bar num & Bailey Circus, the well known "Greatest Show On Earth." This correspondent watched Miss Monroe get into her cos tume. It was extremely interest ing. Then he watched Miss Kar naudi get into hers. She was dressed by two members of the painters and decorators union, George Kira (Local 803) and Abe Siegel (Local 1011) using large brushes and exactly 10 gallons of paint of a hue called "blush ing pink." They said most of their previous work had been painting gas tanks. toric .exemption from taxes on income from unrelated business activities. Rep. Lor an Stewart (R - Cot tage Grove), chairman, told the witnesses there was a danger of the state losing much o its tax base through the subterfuge of businesses being sold to church or educational institu tions. The state already suffer ed from federal ownership of 58 per cent of land area, thus re moving it from the lax rolls, he said. William Phillips, speaking for Willamette university, said business income earned by pri vate schools was keeping them in business and saved the state the cost of educating students en rolled in non-state institutions. Ralph Scott, speaking for Lewis and Clark college in Port land, said repeal of the exemp tion proposed by the bill before the committee would cost Lewis and Clark $750 a year. He said the school required donations of SI 00,000 a year to balance its budget. Committee members support ing the bill said they hoped to close the tax loophole now used by several large corporations that had been sold to church, educational, or charitable institu tions and escaped tax obligations to the state. Transportation Districts. May Solve Transit Firm Problems By WILLIAM WARREN United Press Correspondent Salem (U.R) The advent of the automobile and then tele vision has posed a problem for mass transportation lines throughout the nation. Perhaps one solution is creation of trans portation districts which would tax themselves for public trips to town. Gordon S. Steel, president of the Portland Traction Company, told the Senate Commerce and Utilities Committee headed by Sen. Lee Ohmart (R-Salem) that the shift has been more and more toward taking the family car to town instead of boarding the bus. He said the time might even come when the shift would be entirely to private transporta tion, but in the interim, people need and insist on mass trans portation. Districts Sought He spoke before the committee late yesterday in favor of Sen ate bill 274 which would author ize the creation of transporta tion districts, within a county, or within more than one county. Residents in a district could vote to tax themselves to sup port mass transportation. Then the district could either operate its own service or contract with a traction company to furnish the service. Sen. Francis W. Ziegler (R Corvallis) asked Steele if he didn't fear the districts would vote to operate their own serv ice and put his company out of business. Steele said "we think we're good enough salesmen to sell uiem uui sci v.c. TV Hurts Travel Transit lines throughout Ore gon, Steele said, -'are faced with the problem of furnishing trans portation to areas which don't furnish enough patronage to pay. Consequently, it has to be charged to other, profitable areas in the form of a system- wide fare increase. Since television came to Port land Steele said, night travel has dronoed 30 per cent, because people are getting their enter tainment right at home. The committee has the bill up for further study.

She is noticeably slimmer, particularly around the face. Quite attrac tive, too. Photographers noticed it the other day when she posed for pictures with Lt. Col. William F. Santelmann, the Marine Corps band director who is re tiring. The loss of weight, if that is what it is, made her appear more youthful. She seemed in excellent spirits and health as Federal Funds Available For Portland Slum Plan Portland (U.R) The na tion's number one housing auth ority says federal funds will be available to Portland if the city decides to clear a slum area for its recreation exposition center. Albert M. Cole, administrator of Housing and Home Finance agency said last night he thought the funds could be obtained un der the government's urban re development plan. Asked about the possibilities of Portland's getting money to clear slum areas for a sport stad ium or a recreation-exposition center, he said such a project could be built on any site clear ed of slums - by government money. He said "we are not so concerned with' what is built there as we are with getting rid of the slum." RELEASED Nebraska prison guard Warren Miller shows how one of eight tough convicts held homemade knife to his throat to enforce rioters' demands. Miller and another guard were held hostage for 65 hours by the rebel prisoners. Guards Given Blame In Hostage Incident Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) Ne braska Penitentiary officials said today that two guards could blame themselves for walking into a convict's trap and touch ing off a 65-hour rebellion. Deputy Warden Don B. Green holtz said the guards, who were held as hostages during the mar athon riot, "were lax in hand ling the men." The guards, Warren Miller, 43, and Eugene Swanson, 34, were released unharmed when the eight rebel convicts surrender ed early yesterday. The number of repairmen. mechanics and technicians has more than doubled in the U.S. in the past 10 years, the De partment of Labor says. she urged Santelmann to "come back and see us sometime." Italian Prime Minister Mario Scelba seemed amused, but somewhat puzzled by the horde of photographers around the front steps of the White House offices when he arrived to con fer with the President. When the photographers swarmed into the President's of fice to get a picture of the two principals, Scelba, through an interpreter, expressed amaze ment that there were so many of them. So many that they had to enter the office in relays. The President quipped that he hoped the pictures would turn out as successfully as his chat with the prime minister. . For the last two trips to Gettysburg, the reporters and photographers trailing the Pres ident have been barred from entering the Eisenhower farm. They cooled their heels in autos at the entrance to the estate. This probably will become the rule rather than the exception as the Eisenhowers spend more" time at their home. The Gettys burg farm is their personal and private property and they want to keep it that way. If it rains here April 11, base ball's opening day between Washington and B a 1 1 i more, chances are the major leagues will have to open the season without a first-ball pitch by President Eisenhower. He still plans to leave for Augusta April 12. If rained out here April 11, Washington would not play be fore the local fans again until April 14 and it will take a lot of pressure to get Mr. Eisenhower to change his Georgia plans Conceivably he might fly back just for the day, but only conceivably.
