COLLI MET AT SANDFLY BECH- Coon Admits Technical Advice on Preparation of John Day Dam Bill Bv A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington (Special) Rep. Sam Coon (R-Ore.) had "expert technical consultation during the preparation of the bill" he is sponsoring for "partnership" construction of John Day dam, but any suggestion that he play ed no part in drafting the bill is "false," declared Coon. This was the eastern Oregon Wright Brothers' Airplane in Need m ii.... ii. . ui new nume . Washington CU.R) The fragile plane in which man first flew at Kitty Hawk needs a home. The Wright Brothers' plane now dangles from a rafter above cases displaying military swords at the Smithsonian Institution here. Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis hangs by a collection of dresses once worn by presidents' wives. And the early sailplane, Falcon, looks down on an assortment of quilts and laces. Still other planes, marking milestones in aviation history, along with flight clothing, navi gation equipment and other memorabilia of man's conquest of the air are crammed into odd corners of Smithsonian build ings. Nine years ago Congress set up the National Air Museum a permanent "home" for these planes to "memorialize the na tional development of aviation." The museum was to inherit the aviation collection of the Smith sonian. The plan envisaged a fine building which would be come a national showplace. Some Progress Today, nine years later, more than 8,500 items have been gathered, but the aviation ex hibits are still at the Smith sonian. However, progress is being made. The Smithsonian has made application for land in southwestern Washington. If it is granted, the drive for con struction funds will begin in earnest. The current tentative archi tects' sketches feature a group of buildings in the form of a huge airplane. The fuselage of the "air plane" is envisioned as a con course. The Wright Brothers' plane is to be displayed in a place of honor. A full-size "you are there" diorama depicting the moment the plane rose into the air is planned. In the drawings, the central airplane - designed building is flanked by several smaller units. One would have push-button ex hibits illustrating every thing from how a kite flies to the cause of the "boom" created by penetration of the sound bar rier. But until these plans become actual buildings, one thing is certain. Aviation enthusiasts will continue to view the Falcon and old lace together. GRANDPA PERFORMS Hartford, S. D.

Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) stemmed from a doubt in Neuberger's mind that Coon was author of his own bill. Both Charges Said False "It was said that I had no part in the preparation of the legisla tion and further, that informa tion on the legislation is being prepared by some agency other than this office," said Coon in a prepared statement. "I wish to categorically state that both of these charges are false," said Coon. "Of course, I had expert technical consulta tion during the preparation of the bill. No one person is well enough informed on technical matters to draw up a bill as com plex as the John Day legislation without expert technical advice. This can be said of every im portant bill ever introduced." Coon did not identify his tech nical advisers. It is understood the bill was worked out by the three private power companies that announced simultaneously with Coon's introduction of the bill their willingness to put up 88 per cent of the money to Flying Finns Said Spread-Eagled to Bed Springfield, Mo. -U.R) The attorney for the imprisoned Finn twins has charged that the two were "spread-eagled" on their hospital beds by guards he called "the goon squad," in order to force them to take food. Joseph Scott, Los Angeles, in terviewed the twins, George and Charles Finn, at the Federal Medical Center here for about an hour today. 4 Afterwards he told reporters that the twins told him that every morning squads came to their beds and strapped their wrists and ankles with "leather collar." If they refuse to eat, "someone sits on their chests and they are fed forcibly" he said. ' Scott said he was told the brothers, under one-year sen tences for interfering with a Los Angeles federal officer, often are involved in "incidents" with the guards. t "The big heavy jailers over power them in spite of their re sistance," he said.

"Regardless of who wrote the John Day bill," added Coon, "or who did the typing, the impor tant thing is to understand what the legislation contains. This is certainly true if a person is go ing to debate the bill. The John Day bill is a good, sound pro posal which will do a' lot of good for Oregon in bringing needed power to the district and in cre ating jobs for our people." Debate Bids Extended After '. Neuberger challenged Coon to debate his bill face-to- face in Oregon this fall after Congress has adjourned, groups in Portland, Pendleton, Baker, Hood River, LaGrande and On tario put in bids to provide the lawmakers a forum for their en counter. Both have accepted, al though no dates have yet been set. In claiming that members of Congress generally obtain expert advice in drafting bills, Coon said he was "willing to concede, however, that Senator Neuberg er had no expert advice on some of his proposals, especially the ones which deal with squirrels on the White House lawn and candidates for political office using face powder on televi sion." The GOP congressman said he was under the impression Neu berger had come out against his bill shortly after he introduced it in April but that "he had not read the bill." Coon added: "I hope that he gets around to read ing it some day." Presidents? Birthdays Observed by Children Rochester, N. Y. (UJ?) It may not be. too surprising if one of the children of Edward and Vir ginia Fleche grows up to be president. The couple's oldest boy, Tim othy, seven, was born on Oct. 27 the late Theodore Roosevelt's birthday. Michael, three, was born on Feb. 22 George Washington's birthday. Peter, one, was born Feb. 12 Abraham Lincoln's birthday. The Fleches first daughter, Ellen Marie, got into the act this year. But it involved some dupli cation. She, like brother Michael, was born on Feb. 22. cotnp9ofts dvtostod ond sttosfrotcd feUsvj Around Hollywood Editor's note: Aline Mosby Is on vacation. Guest columnist June Havoc praises middle-aged and over men. Br JUNE HAVOC Written for the United Press Hollywood 0J.R) I be lieve a woman has to reach a certain age before she apprec iates and I mean the word appreciates in every sense the opposite sex. There are very few interest ing men under 65. The biggest charge and the most enchant ing evenings I have ever spent in my life have been with gentle men who are usually considered middle-aged, or more so. I was fortunate enough to snag a gentleman very near my own age who, through some miscal culation of father time, breathes all the poetry, charm and grace of another time TV produc er William Spier. I'm not saying there aren't other available. There are for the discerning- woman, for the woman who's willing to take time to search for such a man, and who recognizes such a man when she sees him. I'm afraid there aren't many of us left. My best beau a few years ago was a dreamboat pixie nam ed Sir Charles Mendl. We went steady for six months or so. He took me to the beach where he planted his feet firmly in the surf, disregarding the wave lets that came and went, there by causing him to sway a little more than a man of lesser con fidence would have countenanc ed. Charles sang to the open sea, to the sand, to the glorious day and to me. His wit was gentle but nonetheless devastating. His 1 " V '.'1 -1 fj -I 1 1 4 By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent charm radiant. He was and is a gallant. My idea of a perfect date. Then Louis Verneuil, who told such delightful stories and act ed them out with such finesse, gaiety and sparkle, that I shall as long as I live remember Louis as one of the gentlemen I would rather be with than any of my contemporaries. Men are lovely creatures, but something's happened to them. How I wish nature would pro duce more of the undeniable attractive gentlemen of Sir Charles' and Louis' vintage. Reginald Owen is mother lambchop, apple-tart and dream companion. When at dinner instead of appraising the young er man present I always search for the shiny head, the silver hair and the twinkling eyes. It makes for a much more interesting evening. I learn things I couldn't possibly learn from younger men all my best quotes, all my best think ing, all my best humor and also whatever philosophy I may have acquired through my good luck at being chosen compan ion and friend of Sir Charles, Louis Verneuil, Reginald Owen and other cavaliers in that age group. Bless 'em, I say! May all the younger men of the world grow into such dream boats, such apple-tarts, such lambchops as they. Aberdeen, Wash. (U.R) Steven N.
