MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Morse Demands View Poor Visibility as
On Forestry Programs
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Wayne Morse yesterday demand
ed that consultants cf the Bur
eau of Land Management pre
sent their "complete views" on
the agency's forestry programs.
He called for the report prior
to scheduled hearings on mar
keting areas of the O&C lands
next month.
The Oregon senator said he
was concerned with reports that
O&C counties in Oregon may
have lost as much as $4 million
under present timber sales pol
icies of the Bureau of Land
Management.
He said the views of BLM con
sultants should be known now
so that residents of the state
can consider the entire situation
after a period in which the In
terior Department has been "op
erating increasingly without full
consultation with local governments."
Crash Cause Denied
Chicago (U.R) The Air
Lines Pilots association today
denied a report that it blamed
the recent collision of a military
jet and a DC-7 on poor visibility
from the airliner's cockpit.
C. N. Sayen, organization
president, said the ALPA al
ways has been "bitterly critical
of organizations or individuals
who immediately announce the
cause of an air tragedy."
He said a thorough investiga
tion was being conducted into
the crash which claimed seven
lives, including two chool chil
dren, when the planes crashed
over a Pacoima, Calif., element
ary school Jan. 31 .
Sayen said the cause of the
accident is not yet known. He
said the ALPA was conducting
its own investigation and help
ing other agencies, including the
Civil Air Board, with their investigations.

Senate Committees Start Work
To Revise Eisenhower Doctrine
Washington (U.R) Two com
mittees began drafting the Sen
ate version of President Eisen
hower's Middle East resolution
today with leaders in both par
ties predicting approval' of a
plan acceptable to the President.
Chairman Theodore Francis
Green (D-R.I.) called a closed
door meeting of the combined
Senate Foreign Relations and
Armed Services committees to
begin work on proposed amend
ments to the President's resolu
tion. Some changes in the House-
approved resolution were" in
prospect.
But Sen. H. Alexander Smith
(R-N.J.) predicted the committee
would approve a proposal "defi
nitely" acceptable to the Presi
dent. He said he did not believe
"any more than 20 senators will
go on record against it.
'Substantial' Changes Loom
Sen. John Sparkman (D-AIa.),
like Smith a member of the
Foreign Relations Committee,
said he believed "substantial"
changes would be made in the
proposal submitted by Mr. Eisen
hower. But he said he thought
Democrats Suggest
Voting Law Changes
Coos Bay (U.R) Several rec
ommendations recarding elec
tion laws were made here during
Ihf week end by the State Demo
cratic Central Committee, in
cluding amendment of the cor
iipt practices act.
Democrats asked that the cor
rupt practices act be strength
ened to provide that adequate
records be kept and reports
made.
The committee also said it be
lieved the chief election official
in Oregon should be an appoin
tive officer.
Also . recommended were
amendment of laws governing
registration to provide "ade
quate fairly distributed regis
trars" and that voting procedure
be simplified, a printed chal
lenge be used and one uniform
jcount procedure adopted.
About 46 per cent of all the

Drag Pacing Rapped
By Safety Council
Chicago. ;U.R) Drag racing
was condemned today by the Na
tional Safety council which
urged "hot rodders" to seek oth.
er activities for their "energy
and enthusiasm."
The council reached its deci
sion after a questionnaire poll
of more than 1,500 city and state
traffic officials, school authori
ties and local safety councils.
Many "hot rod" clubs were en
gaged in worthwhile activities
promoting traffic safety and
good citizenship, the council
said. But it added that the poll
also revealed that more than 80
per cent of the clubs were pri
marily interested in racing.
The council said it could not
"condone speed even in the
name of competition since speed
violations are so often involved
in traffic accidents.'
Coffee Break May
Be Frazzling Nerves
New York U.R) A physi
cian editor told Americans today
that the traditional "coffee
break" may be frazzling more
nerves than it soothes.
Dr. J. Dewitt Fox, writing in
Life and Health, of which he is
editor, said the amount of caf
feine in one cup of coffee is
equal to the dosage given by doc
tors "to stimulate a patient who
has been in a coma, is intoxicat
ed, or is otherwise in danger of
collapse."
That's a strong dose, multi
plied several times a day, for
the average man or woman, Fox
said.
Persons with storgach ulcers
and high blood pressure are es
pecially warned against exces
sive use of coffee. Fox said.
the result would be "substan
tially agreeable to the adminis
tration." As submitted, the resolution
would let the President use
troops, if necessary, to meet
Communist aggression in the
Mother Slashes
Sons and Self
Wood River, 111. (U.R) A
young mother apparently slash
ed her three young sons to death
and then killed herself by cut
ting her throat with a butcher
knife, authorities said today.
The bodies of Mrs. Pricilla
Robertson, 25, and her children
were found Monday night by
Helen Andrews, 12-year-old sis
ter of the dead woman.
Mrs. Robertson's husband,
Robert, 30, was at work in near
by St. -Louis when the bodies
were found.
Police said Mrs. Robertson
was found lying in the bathroom
of her two-story suburban home
with an eight-inch butcher knife
lying beside her. Her throat had
been cut twice, authorities said.
The children, police said, also
were slashed at the throat. Mark
6V2 months, was found lying
face down in his crib. The other
boys David, 4, and Eric, 3
were lying across a bed in an
other room.
No suicide note was found by
police who said they understood
the woman also made no last
minute "farewell calls." Police
said it was reported Mrs. Rob
ertson had been a mental patient
at a nearby hospital recently.
Former Child Star
Free on $100 Bail
San Diego (U.R) Former
child actor Scotty Beckett, 27,
was free on $100 bail today fol
lowing his arrest at the Mexican
border on suspicion of possessing
dangerous drugs.
Beckett was arrested at nearby
San Ysidro yesterday shortly
after crossing into California
from Tijuana, Mex. Sheriffs dep
uty L. M. Erreca said he was
carrying 250 stimulant pills and
30 stimulant capsules.
The former child actor said
the drugs had been prescribed
by a Mexican doctor for his wife
and that he purchased them
legally.
Becket was brought to San
Diego county jail here and ar
raigned in municipal court. Later
he was released on bail but or
dered to enter a plea to the
charges before Friday.
Middle East. It also would au
thorize him to spend; $200 mil
lion at his discretion on a pro
gram of military and economic
aid in the area.
Apparently headed for approv
al by the Senate committees was
an amendment which would
limit the availability of the $200
million in funds previously ap
propriated to the present fiscal
year which ends June 30.
Would Junk Resolution
Another strongly-favored pro
posal would require the Presi
dent to give 15 days notice to
congressional committees of his
plans to spend funds on specific
aid projects. The administration
has indicated that these changes
are acceptable.
A battle was shaping up over
another proposal, backed by sev
eral Democrats, to divorce the
aid program from the President's
plan and approve only its "fight
if we must" military features.
Another fight was in prospect
over a drive by other Democratic
critics to junk the President's
resolution altogether in favor of
a simple resolution stating that
Congress supports the Presi
dent's policiy of opposing Com
munist influence in the Middle
East.
The proposed substitute would
not have the force of law. It
would meet some of the objec
tions raised by senators who con
tend that Congress cannot, under
the Constitution, delegate its
powers to declare war.
Crop Prospects
Said Improved
Washington (U.R) The
Agriculture Department said on
Monday that 1957 crop prospects
improved in most of the nation
last month.
But it said wheat growers in
a drought area from Texas to
Nebraska must have rains soon
to revive hopes for their crops.
Milk production in January
was estimated 9,697,000 pounds.
1 per cent above last year and
15 per cent above the 1946-55
average.
January egg production total
led 5,369,000, 4 per cent above
a year ago and 9 per cent above
the 10-year average.
Winter potato production was
estimated at ,7,445,000 hundred
weight. This was downs lightly
from last month's estimate be
cause of lower Florida yields.
But it still was 42 per cent above
a year ago and more than double
the 1949-55 average.
Growers of early summer po
tatoes report intentions to plant
105,400 acres this year, 5 per
cent above 1956, but 5 per cent
below 1955.
Contempt Term of
Portlander Upheld
San Francisco (U.R) The
U.S. Court of Appeals yesterday
confirmed a 10-month sentence
given to Herbert C. Simpson, of
Portland, Ore., for contempt of
Congress.
Simpson was sentenced by a
Portland federal district court
on Jan. 31, 1955. to a prison
term and was fined S250 for
failure to answer questions ask
ed by a House Un-American Ac
tivities committee. Simpson had
invoked the fifth amendment on
questions asking his residence
and eduction background. . i
The court held that answers:
to these questions were not the j
type that would tend to incrim-:
