0 Civic Governmenf Said Surrendering Portland (U.PJ The city manager of San Diego says civic government duties are being sur rendered to state and federal ag encies without a struggle. O. W. Campbell, here to speak at the League of Oregon Cities meeting today, said that timid city - governments are putting themselves out of business. He presented figures to show that the federal government collects almost $10 to every $1 collected by cities and that state govern ments gather $3 to every $1 of city taxes. He said the American people can have what they want and that "if civic government won't give it to them, then state or federal government will." He said San Diego has a city sales, tax which collects $5,000, 000 annually. Many Questioned In Portland Robbery Portland (U.R) Investiga te tors of a daylight robbery which netted $3285 from the Metropol itan branch of the U. S. Nation al bank here last Monday, said today that two Cadillacs and a Buick seen in the bank area have no connection with the s crime. The FBI reported that at least a dozen persons had been ques tioned in connection with the case so far. The bureau's labora tory in Washington, D. C, was still checking a note used by the bandit to collect the money. Information Sought On Navy Acceptance Of Unsuitable Planes Washington (U.R) House investigators today sought to strip the secrecy from informa tion on the Navy's purchase of "Demon" jet fighters which were allegedly unsuitable for flight. One congressman said six of the jets crashed, taking two test pilots to their deaths. Findings Disclosed The staff of a House Govern ment Operations Subcommittee headed by Rep. Chet Holifield (D-Calif.) disclosed the findings of their own investigation. The subcommittee then called Navy Secretary Charles S. Thomas and other Navy repre sentatives to a closed-door ses sion for a full explanation of the ill-fated jets purchased from the McDonnell Aircraft Corp., St. Louis, Mo. Holifield demanded that Thomas remove the secrecy label on "voluminous informa tion" on the planes and give "as complete a picture of develop ment in this procurement as pos sible" at a later public hearing. Holifield is investigating charges that the Navy spent mil lions on the McDonnell F3H1 "Demon" planes only to find that they were unsuitable for flying. Continued To Accept Planes The Navy has disclosed that it learned of the plane's difficul ties after flying the first few models delivered in December, 1953. The Navy continued to ac cept the planes until June of this year when 60 had been de livered. Rep. Frank M. Karsten CD Mo. ), requested the investiga tion. He said six of the jets crashed, killing two test pilots. Seven Marines Die In Traffic Crash Brea, Calif.
