FOREIGN AID SLASHED The Administration made an all-out appeal to senators to restore at least $600 million of the $1.1 billion which the House cut from the Foreign Aid Bill in a special bipartisan meeting of Senate leaders at the White House. Minority leader Republican William Knowland (left) and Majority leader Democrat Lyndon Johnson talk with newsmen following the meeting. Sen ator Johnson, Texas, said, "No commitments were asked and none were given." He said the Administration still has to prove the S600 million should be restored. Senator Knowland (Calif.) said the matter of continuing aid to Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia "was discussed and was one of the matters on which additional details were asked." There's a strong move to cut off aid to Yugoslavia be cause of its reconciliation with Russia. Russian Church Leaders Delayed By Bomb Threat New York (U.R) A "crank" delayed departure of eight heav ily guarded Russian church lead ers four hours, until early today, with a telephone warning that a bomb was planted aboard their aircraft . The churchmen and 29 other passengers left for Europe on board the KLM airliner at 1:51 a.m. EDT) after government agents methodically searched all luggage and the plane with fluroscopes and other bomb de tection devices. Anonymous Call The last of the passengers had just taken his seat shortly be fore the aircraft's scheduled 10 p.m. (EDT) departure Wednes day when an anonymous tele phone call was received at the KLM airport ticket counter. "There is a bomb on the plane," a male voice said. Then he hung up. I All passengers were immed iately debarked from the air craft. The Russians were solid ly ringed by 40 grim policemen assigned as bodyguards. Bitter Picketing The churchmen, who had been the objects of bitter anti-Russian picketing during their 11 day U.S. visit, looked glum but undisturbed. Whitebearded Metropolitan Nicolai of the Russian Ortho dox church said at a press in terview at Idlewild airport that he and his colleague were "not in the least worried" by the bomb scare. The unusual security measures had been taken from the time the Russians arrived at the air port. Departure time of their air craft had not even been announced. Indians Criticize Neilberger's Plan To Halt Pelton Dam Madras U.R Indians of the Warm Springs Federation yes terday dispatched a telegram to Sen. Richard L. Neuberger, critl cal of his proposed Senate amendment which would halt construction of Pelton dam on the Deschutes river. Neuberger earlier this week had introduced an amendment to the Barrett state water rights bill. The amendment would compel suspension of any feder al license which has been grant ed where a state license had not been approved and construction was still in its initial stage. Warm Springs council chair man Avex Miller quoted the federation's telegram to Neu berger as saying: "The Warm Springs tribal council vigorously opposes your amendment to S. B. 863. You have not consulted with us on this vital matter which would materially aid in development of economy and resources of 1250 people. By treaty rights of 1855 half of the water of the Deschutes belongs to the In dians. We are a minority group whom you should recognize and protect." Under terms of the contract the Indians held with Portland General Electric Co., the build ers of Pelton dam, the Indians would receive a minimum S90, 000 payment annually and this amount would increase to $250,- 000 annually when Round Butte dam, a second proposed dam on the Deschutes, goes into opera tion. ' Male Youths Setting Emotional Patterns for Rough Time in Old Age, Navy Phychiatrist Declares Thursday. June 14. 19SS MEDFORD (ORiaOIC) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Today's male adolescents are setting up emotional patterns within them selves which will give them rough old ages, according to the chief phychiatrist of the Navy who, because of his job, can be taken as an outstanding authori ty on male adolescents. ' Furthermore, these patterns will give the nation a rough time when today's very young men have become old men, con tinued Dr. and Captain George N. Raines in a recent lecture to a scientific audience. He based his remarks on experiences with adolescents who make up the bulk of the Navy's forces. Becoming Proven Fact It is a widely accepted theory, which more and more is becom ing a proven fact, that tHe emo tional attitudes established in adolescence rule individuals the rest of their lives. For that rea son, it alarmed Dr. Raines that there is distinctly less of a sense of duty among 18 to 20-year-olds. The sense of duty is being re placed by the question, "What's in it for me?" He cited the Navy's experience with its "bad conduct discharge," which is a form of punishment based upon the idea that "each of us has a sense of duty, that no man wishes to admit that he cannot perform the duties required of him, and that a man's conscience punishes more effectively than all the prisons in the world." Large Increase The Navy's use of this punish ment increased 300 per cent be tween 1940 and 1950 although during the same period its pro gram for rehabilitation offenders has been greatly improved. Dr. Raines added that this type of discharge made up only a min ute part of total naval discharges but "nonetheless, this table in crease must be recognized as in dicating a trend." This increasing group of ado lescents "handle their problems Seven Area Students Attending Institute Corvallis Five students from Medford and one from Trail and Prospect are among 127 selected high school boys from Oregon and Washington attending the first annual "ju nior engineers and scientists" in stitute at Oregon State college.

N.J U.R Bernie Johnson explained in traffic court Wednesday he just "hadn't gotten around" to buying a dri ver's license in the past 20 years.

NEWSPAPER CELEBRATES Miami (U.R) The Miami Daily News celebrated its 60th birthday Wednesday by break ing ground for a new $5,000,000 plant. ' largely by aggressive passivity. he said, meaning that they do nothing in an aggressive way. He gave as examples people who sit before television sets and at base ball games, critically demanding that they be entertained, rather than finding means of entertain ing themselves. More Demands When aggressively passive per sons grow old, "many will sit back aggressively and demand that they be supported." He saw the addition of disability benefits to social security laws as some thing which "might easily bank rupt the country" should there be any sizable segment of aging aggressively passive persons in the population. "Any inducement to increase the amount of support, or hasten its beginning, as disability ben efits will do, will be seized upon immediately," he said. "Since the emotional processes involved are largely outside the awareness of the individual, this behavior, as most human .behavior, will not be regulated by legislation." Dr. Raines is head of the neu ropsychiatric . branch of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. He also is professor and head of the Department of Psy chiatry, Georgetown University medical center, Washington. Young Denver Mother Vows To Forget 'Nightmare' of Birth of Son by Rapist Denver (U.R) A Methodist mother vowed today to forget the "living nightmare" of the birth of her son, fathered by a rapist. Mrs. Joe Anson, 27, was raped by a young airman in her apart ment last Sept. 16. Her baby which was born Tuesday was immediately given to adoption authorities. Neither Saw Infant Neither she nor her unem ployed, sick husband saw the infant. "This nine months has been a living nightmare for both my self and my husband," Mrs. An sand said. "I've felt the baby stirring in my body and then I'm reminded of that terrible night." She said she never could have loved the rapist's child and only Hiccups Ey End; Man es Normal Life Los Angeles PJ.PJ A frail but happy Jack O'Leary is liv ing a normal life today all be cause an eight-year siege of hiccups appears to be over. - "It's like a miracle," O'Leary said. "It's wonderful, no more j hiccuping every second ... the : house is so quiet." j O'Leary, now 30, began hic cuping on June 13, 1948, after his appendix ruptured. Under the attacks his weight dropped from 138 pounds to 75 and he suffered several heart attacks. Two weeks ago his hiccups stop ped as he was watching tele vision. Only twice since have the hiccups returned and Wednes day the shipping clerk ex plained, "I believe I have hic cuped for the last time."

She said they may move from Denver to help bury the memory of the last nine months. Welfare workers were bent on protecting the child from shame in later life. They said they would allow "no publicity whatsoever" hereafter. Couples from the United States and Alaska have offered to adopt the unloved child. But the Denver Welfare Council said the identity of the couple finally chosen will not be made public because "we have to consider the child." Father in Prison The baby's father, John ' D. Peters, 18, a phlegmatic, hulk ing youth -who admitted attacks on Mrs. Anson and several other Denver women, probably will never see his son, either. He is serving a sentence of 40 to 80 years in the Colorado Peniten tiary.

(U.R) A honey mooning passenger opened the wrong door of an airliner in flight Wednesday night and hurtled 6,500 feet to his death near the cemetery of a country churchyard. The body of Oren Ase Pruitt, 38, of Charlotte, N.C, dug a hole nearly four feet deep in hard packed earth just a few steps from the cemetery at Zion Church six miles from Shelby. Pruitt s bride said she became thirsty and asked her husband to get her a drink of water. - She said he found the restroom door locked and then tried the plane'a , side door, thinking it led to an other restroom. Luther Haynes, caretaker of the church, told authorities he heard a "whistling sound" over head and then saw Pruitt't fall ing body 30 or 40 yards away. Haynes said there was "a tort of explosion when it hit." "I was just walking home from the store and was fixing to go into the house when it hap pened," the caretaker said. "It looked like a man and I went to see. Then I called the sheriff." Pruit and his wife, whom he had married Tuesday, were fly ing to Asheville, N.C, to visit her parents when the tragic ac cident happened. Pruitt was sucked from the Piedmont Airplanes plane when the door opened. The fatality was Piedmon't first since the line was formed Feb. 20, 1948. Mrs. Pruitt was placed under a doctor's care when the plane " reached Asheville a few min utes after the tragedy. She was reported to be in a state of collapse today.
