Natural Gas Bill
In Trouble in Senate
Washington flj.R) Senate
opponents of the natural gas bill
will try to kill it with some par
liamentary slight-of-hand.
The party-splitting bill al
ready passed by the House
would exempt all independent
natural gas producers from fed
eral price control.
Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.),
leader of the bill's opposition in
a seething Senate debate, said he
will introduce a substitute bill.
Hill bill would leave the pres
ent law intact. But, it would ex
empt small producers from fed
eral price control.
The exemption would cover 96
per cent of the nation's natural
gas producers. However, they
turn out only 10 per cent of the
gas..

LEITH ABBOTT
Housewife Seis
Diving Record in
270-Foot Plunge
Hollywood Beach, Fla. (U.R)
A spunky Indianapolis housewife
plunged 270 feet beneath the
Atlantic Ocean yesterday to set
a new world skin driving record
for women.
' Mrs. Barbara Jacobs, 33, ap
parently wasn't bothered by the
mysterious "rapture of the deep"
that snuffed out the life of Mi
ami Attorney Hope Root when
he tried a similar dive off Miami
Beach two years ago.
With instructor Ed Townsend
of Hollywood Beach accomp
anying her and her husband
waiting above on a boat, Mrs.
Jacobs yesterday swam down a
400-foot anchor line and tied a
marker at 270-feet down. Her
dive beat the record of 209 ieet
set on the Pacific Coast last
year by Zale Perry.
Deeper Dive Vetoed
Townsend remembering Root's
fate, wouldn't let the attractive
mother of two boys take a
chance by going deeper.
Root, trying to break the
men's skin diving record, passed
the 400-foot mark and their ap
parently let his breathing appar
atus slip off. He never came
back.
"I was frightened until I
found my equipment was in
good shape," Mrs. Jacobs said
after she clambered back into
the boat. "I remember one inci
dent very well down below the
200-foot mark . . . my red fing
ernail polish turned blue."
Townsend explained that red
color is filtered out at such
depths.
Helped Into Boat
The attractive brunette was
exhausted when she reached the
surface and had to be helped
into the boat by Townsend and
her husband, who runs a men's
wear store at Indianapolis. But
after the men massaged her
cramped arms and legs, she
quickly recovered.
Mrs. Jacobs and Townsend, an
AAU representative, tied a mar
ker on the anchor line at the
270-foot level and had the mark
measured and confirmed later
by dock master Nestor Cramata.

Miller, Duff Discuss
Municipal Problems
At Kiwanian Meeting
Mayor Earl Miller and City
Manager Robert Duff pointed to
Medford's sound financial condi
tion but brought out the serious
ness of the arterial street and
downtown parking problems
during talks to Kiwanis club
members at Rogue Valley Coun
try club yesterday noon.
Miller, mentioning the S1.902,
900.30 cost of city government
last year, praised city depart
ments and both elected and ap
pointive officials for their work.
Done Their Best
He said the various depart
ments have done their best with
in their limitations to give a
dollar's worth of service for
every dollar spent. The mayor
added that he believed that city
officials are doing their level
best to give residents the finest
service they can.
Medford is in excellent finan
cial condition, the mayor de
clared. Miller said, nevertheless, "We
must do something about the
arterial streets immediately." He
and Duff spoke of the estimated
9,000 motor vehicles using Med
ford streets with the indications
that the total will be 17,000 by
1970 at Medford's present growth
rate.
Arterial Street Progarm
Duff said that state highway
engineers have, through a sur
vey, outlined about 4,uuu,uuu
worth of arterial street work.
This plan is an "ideal situation,"
the manager stated, saying that
Medford probably will have to
get along on less. He reported
that modifications to fit the city
are being studied and that the
situation is getting critical.
On the parking problem, Duff
Actress Pier Angeli
Suffers Broken Ankle
Hollywood (U.R) Actress
Pier Angeli, who suffered a seri
ous pelvis injury last year,
again was on Hollywood's sick
list today with her left foot in
a cast.
The Italian-born star broke a
bene in her - left ankle Tuesday
night in a fall on the stairway
of her home. Shortly after her
marriage to singer Vic Damone
last year, the actress' pelvis
was broken in a plane accident.
MGM spokesmen said Miss
Angeli was scheduled to begin
work this week in "Somebody
Up There Likes Me," the Rocky
Graziano story. The studio will
shoot scenes in which she is not
needed until her expected return
to work in three weeks.
Jack Benny To Play
Violin at Carnegie Hall
Hollywood (U.R) Jack Ben
ny will fulfill a likelong ambi
tion Oct. 2 when he plays his
violin at Carnegie Hall with the
New York Symphony Orches
tra. His appearance will be at a
benefit concert to "save Carne
gie Hall," he said.
"I shall try to sound like I
think I'm good enough to play
with the symphony even though
everyone in the audience knows
I'm not," said the comedian. "I
have been practicing with the
hope something like this would
happen. It takes practice even
to play lousy." -

warned, "Unless we do some
thing soon, we're going to be
sorry." Miller said that commit
teemen are hard at work on an
off-street parking program, with
no definite plan as yet.
Miller spoke of park and li
brary improvements and both
men declared that the municipal
airport is in excellent shape.
Duff said the facility has an
estimated revenue of $45,000
for the year with costs listed
at $25,000.
East Side Station
The mayor said that the long
delayed east side fire station is
a "must" this year and mention
ed, also, that the situation may
be better located with the annex
ation of the large southeast area.
He reported that it is hoped to
start construction of a new arm
ory sometime this spring and to
have funds for a brighter street
lighting system in the 1956-1957 j
budget.
