Tuesday. January 10, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Democrat Appointees Face Going-Over by Democratic Senate Washington (U.R) Congres sional sources hinted today that President Eisenhower's Demo cratic appointees hereafter can expect a going-over from the Democratic Senate about as rough (S that given the Presi dent's nominees. What the senators will want to know is whether the Repub lican administration, In 6elect- Drink-Crazed Man Kills Wife, Two Small Daughters Ann Arbor, Mich. (U.R) A drink-crazed physicist who vow ed he was "on the wagon" shot and killed his wife and two small daughters and attempted to take his own life by poisoning last night, police said. Dr. Howard Johnson, 37, was reported in critical condition at University of Michigan Hospital from what a hospital spokesman described as "apparently a bar biturate." Police said Johnson, who last was employed as a radio shop repairman, pumped five shots into his wife's head and a sixth Into her heart and shot each of his daughters through the head. Ha then telephoned his brother-in-law, Dr. G. D. Porterfield, Houghton Lake, Mich., 200 miles away, and told him of the shoot ings. Local authorities said they found the body of Mrs. Margerie Johnson, 35, lying on the floor in front of a picture window in the Johnson's "well-furnished," three-bedroom home. A year-old daughter, Margaret, was found dead jn her crib and Barbara, 3, was sprawled in a iwivel "television" chair near her mother. Police said the bul let which killed Barbara also struck her mother in the leg. ing men for jobs which by law are supposed to go to Democrats, is picking "regular" or "Eisen hower" Democrats. Speaker Sam Rayburn was re ported to have compained to House Democrats yesterday that neither he nor Senate Demo cratic Leader Lyndon B. John son had been consulted by the administration on any of its Democratic nominees to boards and commissions which by law are bipartisan. Rayburn also was quoted by members who heard him as charging that the administration was attempting a policy of "re peal by appointment." He said it was doing so by naming to such agencies as the Federal Communications Commis s i o n, Civil Aeronautics Administra tion and Securities & Exchange Commission members not sym pathetic to the agencies pur poses. Condemn Israel, Russia Urges in UN United Nations, N.Y. (U.R) Russia today urged the U.N. Se curity Council to condemn Is rael for the Dec. 12 attack on Syrian forces at the Sea of Gali lee and to warn it that further raids may result in sanctions against Israel. In a resolution submitted to the council for consideration at its meeting Thursday, the Soviet Union made an open bid to cur ry Arab favor. The measure toned down only slightly a draft resolution sub mitted to the council by Syria on Dec. 22. The Syrian resolution cannot be acted upon unless a council member sponsors it. The Soviet resolution called for Israeli compensation to Syria for "loss of life and dam age to property." However, it omitted Syria's demand for Israel's expulsion from the United Nations. US Navy Engineers Stage Life-Like Ocean Storms New York (U.R) U. S Navy engineers stage life- like ocean storms only a stone's throw from the nation's capital , to help find ways of building better and more economical ships and, in the process, they're uncovering ways of safeguarding against seasickness by decreas ing the pitch andQroll. Before millions of dollars are invested in building the real thing, Navy ships-to-be are put through grueling tests in the giant, 186-acre, David Taylor Model Basin at Craderock, Md., center of U. S. government re search in naval architecture and Largest Budget Given Bible Society3 Okeh New York (U.R) A budget for 1956 of $3,858,000 has been approved by the American Bible Society's advisory council and Ms board .of managers. The coun cil is composed of 55 denomina tions and 17 church organiza tions. The new budget represents the largest peace-time financial pro gram ever adopted by the so ciety, whose sole functions are the translation, publication and distribution of the Bible without note or comment and encourage ment of reading the Scriptures. The council cited emergency needs and an expanded program as reasons for the increase in budget. Church denominations ibscribed $900,000 this., year and agreed to try to reach $1,- 400,000 by 1958, to meet the heavier demands for Scriptures Chile Union Leaders Declare Strike 'Flop' Santiago, Chile (U.R) Rebel lious union leaders joined offi cial spokesmen today in declar ing in effect yesterday's anti- goverment "general strike" was a flop. The walkout ordered by the Labor Federation was relatively effective in the coal and nitrate mines, but the vital public-serv ice industries the federation had hoped to paralyze had scarcely more absenteeism than is nor mally expected on a Monday, Leaders of the federation, aft er an all-night meeting "some where in Santiago," ordered the handful of textile workers, met al workers, construction work ers and whitle collar workers who supported the strike to re turn to work today. the largest laboratory of its kind in the world. There, into indoor channels 20 and 50 foot wide and more than half a mile long, innova tions in hull design, structure and powering are pretested with wood or wax models. Problems in navigating and mooring, the behavior of objects falling thru the water, the way sound trav els underseas, the effects of ex plosions on a ship's structure, development of underwater tel evision, and dozens of other re lated subjects are under study. At speeds up to 60 knots per hour, ship models are towed through the water by electrical ly operated carriages made of steel tubing which travel on rails running alongside. Precis ion instruments are carried eith er on the carriage or the ship model. Waves simulating ocean con ditions that could better ships to pieces are controlled by engin eers while every stress and strain, pitch and roll of the mod el is recorded. Men on the car riage and operators of wave ma chines coordinate the operation by short wave radio. Steelways, magazine of Amer ican Iron and Steel Institute, re ports that an estimated $500,000 can be saved in fuel and ma chinery costs in the life of a ship if its efficiency can be in creased by one per cent in the laboratory stage. A major project at the Basin is devising ways for minimizing the pitch and roll of ships at sea to reduce wear and tear and get higher speed, more accurate firing, easier disembarking and less seasickness- While the Navy has made some progress ap proaching the problem of sea sickness medically, it has at tacked it at the Basin by chang es in hull shapes and by new methods of navigation which de crease pitch and roll. FREIGHTER AGROUND Seattle (U.R) A freighter, the C. R. Musser, owned by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., was aground for one hour and 20 minutes last night, but an in coming tide and the power of the ship's engines got her afloat about 12:30 a.m. today.
