Body of Drowning Victim Found in River ' Vancouver, Wash. (U.R) The body of ' nine-year-old Steven Johnston who drowned Sunday night in a boating accident on Lake river was recovered today by a sheriff's deputy. Search continued for the body of the boy's father, John Johnston, who was lost when he leaped in to try to save his son. The accident occurred when a boat struck an object, apparently a snag. AERIAL DETECTION Battle Creek, Mich. U.R) When his father's car was sto len, Robert Underhill, a used car salesman, went up in a borrowed plane with a pilot friend.

Oregon Cities Said Not Generally Hurt By Traffic By-Pass Salem (U.R) By-passing of traffic around Oregon cities does not reduce general community business although many small businesses are adversely affect ed, the Legislative Interim Highway Committee was told today. ' The . Bureau of Business Re search of, the University of Ore gon presented a report to the committee which showed that most communities were growing rapidly enough so that losses suffered by the small firms were quickly offset. Two Towns Suffer However, "two towns, Union in eastern Oregon and Drain in southern Oregon, had suffered some losses from by-passes, the Bureau said. Failure of Union to grow was pointed out as the reason- for that town's trouble, while Drain suffered because it could not be seen from the by-pass highway. The study showed generally that towns which could not be seen from the highway were more adversely affected than towns like Salem, Sutherlin, Roseberg and Hood River which were visible. The bureau said complaints about the location and signing of junctions of the access road and the by-pass were common. Often Miss Junctions "Complaints were general that tourists and even local towns people often drive past the junc tion and then encounter diffi culty in turning arbund and get ting back on it," the report said. Changes have been made by the state highway department in many instances, however, to sat isfy localities. Some motel owners complain ed that customers were reluctant to turn off the main highway and drive to city locations, but experience throughout the Unit ed States has indicated that trav elers are getting used to leaving by-passes in search of accomodations.

CBS Gains Support In Refusal To Run Democratic Picture Chicago 9J.PS The Columbia Broadcasting System, stiffened by support from the other two major networks, stood firm today in its refusal to telecast a Demo cratic party film to its nation wide audience. Dr. Frank Stanton, president of CBS, served notice Tuesday night on Democratic National Chairman Paul Butler that CBS would not carry the 28-minute movie. The movie was shown Monday night at the Democratic Convention but CBS did not tele cast it as other networks did. Demand 'Inappropriate' Stanton termed "inappropri ate" a Butler demand that CBS carry it later in full. Butler said the film, "Pursuit of Happiness," was integral to the convention keynote address, delivered just after the movie. CBS carried only six minutes of the movie, devoting the remainder of its time to interviews and talks by CBS personalities. The heads of all three net works met in closed session in a sixth floor suit of the Hilton hotel Tuesday to talk out the dispute. Robert Kintner, presi dent of ABC and Robert Sarnoff, president of NBC, both assured Stanton of their backing. Kintner, referring to the closed door meeting, told the United Press: "We decided we had a perfect right to put on or not put on what we choose. We agreed, all of us, that we would not abandon the right to carry what we feel will make for the best show." Butler Arouse Anger All three network presidents met with Butler prior to their closed door meeting. One net work source said Butler had aroused considerable anger by forcing the network presidents to cool their heels for 20 minutes before he saw them. During the day, Butler charged that CBS had made a commit ment "back in February" to carry the "Pursuit of Happiness" film. CBS said it had made no commitment. Butler, who said the film cost the Democrats "in excess of S20, 000," said CBS had "no right to edit a vital part of the pro gram." He taid it was the "right of citizens to see and hear" the important portions of the Demo cratic Convention. Nebraska Area Can't Stand Rain Wauneta, Neb. U.R Resi dents of this area got more proof in June that the region just can't stand a lot of rain, no matter how dry it gets. The town was flooded with four to six feet of water by June rains ranging up to six inches, following a long dry spell. The flooding was reminiscent of the famous flood of 1935 along the 'Republican river in the same area, which caused 105 deaths and S9 mililon in property damages. A series of flood prevention and conservation dams on the Republican has cut the incidence of flooding along the river, but heavy rains still can take their toll in the area, the experts pointed out.
