Medford United Press Full Leased Wire SECTION TWO Tribune United Press Full Leased Wire MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1955 Pages 1-12 Highway Building Program in Oregon Will Be Reduced Portland (U.R) State High way Engineer R. H. Baldock said yesterday that Oregon's road building program will be cut nearly in half next year because of rejections by Congress yester day of bills to help highway con struction. He said the Highway Commis sion had hoDed that Coneress would pass one of the federal aid bills. Either would have given Oregon enough money to build roads at the rate of about $50,- 000,000 a year for the next 10 to 13 years. Baldock said. The state has been spending an average of about 540,000,000 a year on road building, rights of way and parks since 1952. But the $72,000,000 highway bond fund which helped finance that construction is almost gone. Less Money to Spend With the $15,000,000 a year Income from state highway bonds expiring and no increased fed eral help in sight it appears Oregon wil have only about $25, 000,000 a year to spend on new roads and parks after this year, Baldock said. This figure, he said, includes about $12,800,000 a year in federal aid which was made available under a bill Con gress passed last year. Rest of the money comes from various state revenues, principally the gasoline tax. Level of federal aid established in the 1954 bill will last through June. 1957.

San Francisco (U.R) Three Hungarian princesses await "fi nal word" today In a walk-up apartment for a fairy tale ending to their story of romance, trigue and war lived in a mod ern mixed-up world. The "final word" never mav come unless diplomatic negotia tions I ouowinz the Geneva Summit" conferences result fi nally in free elections and the lifting of the Iron Curtain over meir Homeland. While none ever may sit on a Hungarian throne again, the prin cesses remain heirs to a Haps- burg fortune once estimated at 5750,000,000. Died of Heart Attack The princesses are Juliana Kat alin Bocskay von Felso-Banva. estranged wife of Archduke Al brecht of the house of Hapsburg- Lorraine, and his two daughters. Ildika, 13, and Sarolto, 15. The archduke, natural heir to the non-existent Hungarian throne, died of heart attack followine an operation last Saturday morn ing in Buenos Aires. The prince was described as being in "re duced circumstances." The archduchess, known Dlain- ly now as Mrs. Catherine Lor raine, an American citizen and a simple office clerk, told the United Press she will devote the rest of her life in protecting her i daughter interests She sooke with kindness of her late husband, who claimed a Mexican divorce at Tecala in Morelos, August of 1950. As she spoke, Sarolta touched with her fingers, delicately, the beautiful hand of her'mother. Mother and daughters sat together in the humble dwelling above a corner grocery store. Legally Separated "I am not divorced from him." .she said. "We are just leaallv separated. I never filed a di vorce; I never received notice of one. In fact. I have heard nothing from my husband in all these years." "You must promise.' Dlease." she said, "Not to give my age. That is. not just because of the vanity," you understand, but it might make a difference in my future. I am no loneer teen-aeed. and I must think of my girjs' fu ture. I am their sole support and have only what I earn. This ex pression, 'middle-aged,' I would not object to that." Hungary might return to a monarchy, thus making the Archduke king. The Hungarians as a matter of pnncinle. how ever, hated the Hapsburgs, the traditional rulers of Austria.

Nusbaum, district social security manager, in answer to farmers' question, "Will I get social security credits for my work?")

Plaster fell from the ceiling, in juring five persons. Firemen cleared the auditorium ami during cleaned up the debris in time I for a delayed opening. By W. V. NUSBAUM In the last article I said a self- employed farmer for social se curity purposes is a person who operates a farm either as owner. lessee, or renter. For social securitv mirnnses a share-farmer is considered a self- employed farmer. Bv "share- farmer" I mean a person who undertakes to Droduce a rrnn or livestock on another nerson's land, with the croD or its pro ceeds to be divided. To be self-emDloved. a share- farmer must have the responsi bility for the production of a crop during the growing season. His arrangement must be one whereby earnings from operat ing the land are a percentage share of the total earnings. Need Not Do All While a self-employed share farmer is one who enters into agreement to produce a crop or ' livestock on land belonging to someone else, it is not necessarv ! in all cases that he do every part of the job. The phrase "to pro-, duce a crop or livestock" does ' not mean that a share-cropper need assume full responsibility for paying the expenses or rais ing or harvesting the crop. As long as he has the resnnnsihil- ity of the land during the grow ing season, on a percentage or proceeds arrangement, he is self employed for social security purposes. 1 A farmer who arranges with someone to produce a crop or livestock on his land for a per-1 centage share of the total crops 1 produced does not get social se- j curity credit for that income, i His share of the crop is consid-! ered rental income and is ex cluded.

Haunted Houses Real, Oxford Professor Says Oxford. England HI PI rw Henry Habberley Price, Oxford University's respected professor of logic, declared Thursday that ghost stories can be true and that there "really are haunted houses." Price, 55, who was visiting professor at Princeton in 1948, made the statement in a paper read at Oxford's conference of modern churchmen "There really are haunted houses although they are not so common as psychical, re searchers could wish," he said. "True ghost stories are not nearly so exciting as fictitious ones." 4 He said the true ghost stories were "apparitions of the dead." The Rev. J. Pearce-Huggins, Pembroke, X. H.
