liberalized this law somewhat for
women but the major vote came
in the Senate on lowering the

no record vote in the House.
3. Schools An aid to educa

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

the House but Senate didn't act
on it.

Chapel Bells To Call
Airmen To Services
Rochester, N. Y. (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.

from the wall and used them to
dig a hole about 14 inches square
through a brick wall at the rear
of the jail.
"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.
