Sens. Wayne Morse and Richard L. Neuberger both supported high tupports. 2. Social security Congress liberalized this law somewhat for women but the major vote came in the Senate on lowering the retirement age for disabled work ers from 65 to 50. This was ap proved, over administration op position, with Morse and Neu berger supporting it. There was no record vote in the House. 3. Schools An aid to educa tion bill was defeated by the House and never came to a Sen ate vote. One reason for its Oe feat was that it got ensnarled with the Powell amendment, which would have barred use of federal funds in school districts which do not comply with the Supreme Court's anti-segregation decision. All of Oregon's repre sentatives supported the Powell amendment; but Rep. Sam Coon then voted against the school aid bill, while Reps. Harris Ells worth, Walter Norblad and Edith vGreen supported the bill. 4. Postal rates Ellsworth, Norblad and Coon all supported a bill to raise postal rates, but Mrs. Green opposed it. It passed the House but Senate didn't act on it. 5.

(U.R) The sonorous notes of chapel bells soon will call airmen to religious services at 43 U. S. Air Force bases around the world. The tones will be produced by especially designed electronic carillons now under construction at the special products division of Strombcrg-Carlson, a division cf General Dynamics Corp The carillons, will also play familiar hymns at appropriate times, are to be installed in chapels at 32 Air Force bases in this country and at 11 overseas from Puerto Rico to Okinawa. In carillons of this type, bell sounds are produced by striking small metal tone bars with tiny plastic hammers, electronically controlled, and amplifying the scunds they make through spec ial magnetic pickup and loud tpeaking systems. Although the carillons weigh only a few hun dred pounds, the sounds dupli cjte exactly the tones of large casf bells weighing as much as several tons Those destined for the Air j for equipment previously furn wanted the secretary of labor to have the authority to fix wage rates in areas where interstate roads were being built. Contrac tors wanted state agencies to have this authority. The Sen ate, with Morse, Neuberger sup porting it, gave it to the secre tary. 13. Highway aid After a long dispute over terms, the House finally followed the Sen ate is passing an aid bill which increased taxes to finance it. All Oregon congressmen supported the final bill. 14. Veterans pensions A catch-all veterans benefits bill that went to the House floor was chopped up on the floor until finally the only remaining pro visions covered non-service con nected pensions and presumed to tal disability for World War I vets at age 65. On a move to then kill the bill, Ellsworth and Nor blad supported this move, and Coon and Mrs. GreenT opposed it. The Senate failed to act. 15. Foreign aid The House started a fight with the presi dent by trimming his aid bill by S1.4 billion and sending it to the Senate with a total figure of S3.4 billion. Ellsworth, Noblad and Mrs. Green voted for the bill, Coon against it. In the Senate, the amount was increased to S4.1 billion, with both senators sup ported this amount.

"It's old time mortar with no cement," Young said. "You could dig it out with a spoon." Ropes From Blanket Using ropes made from their blankets, the eight lowered themselves to an exercise yard, then tossed the blankets over the outside wall for a ladder way. Young said he believed the fugitives scattered almost imme diately. Later, a car stolen in Reno turned up in Carson City, where some of the jailbreakers apparently stole another car. He ordered a check of all high ways leading across the Sierras into California in belief the Cal- ifornians at least might try to head for home. Scholarships Replace Gifts To Customers Lawrence, Kan.
