.jfOtniTEFN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. Mar 19S7 Kefauyer Suspects While House Aware Of Tax Write-Off Washington OP Sen. Estes Kefauver has charged that reluc tance of Defense J.Iobilizer Gor don Gray to answer Senate ques tions strongly suggests the White House was "in on" granting rapid Hells Canyon tax write offs. Gray claimed "executive pri vilege" several times Tuesday in refusing to answer Senate Anti trust subcommittee questions on the "unusual interest" allegedly shown by White House aides in granting the tax writeoffs td Idaho Power Co. The writeoffs were for construction of two Snake River dams. Will Recall Gray Subcommittee Chairman Ke fauver said he plans to study the record of the hearing "very closely" to determine whether Gray's refusal to answer was "legitimate." He said Gray would be recalled for further questioning. Gray balked when Kefauver reduced an Office of Defense Mobilization memorandum -hich bore the names "Adams, Persons, Pyle and Morgan" in pencil at the top. The defense mobilizer said the notations referred to presi dential assistant Sherman Adams; Gen. Wilson B. Persons, President Eisenhower's legisla tive liaison officer; presidential aide Howard Pyle; and Gerald P. Morgan, counsel to the Presi dent. Refuied To Answer Gray also declined to reply when he was asked specifically if Adams had made any "sugges tion" regarding the Idaho Pow er decision. "I can't answer that," Gray aid. "You mean you can't or won't?" Kefauver asked.

SIPtfD BRITS Bing Crosby to Expand Golf Tourney to $40,000 Purse By HAL WOOD San Francisco (W The Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur Golf tournament, branded by many-as "the most important in the world," will be expanded to four days, 72 holes and a $40, 000 purse next year. To some of the nation's top golfers the tourney had become a "headache," they complained because the purse was too small, the weather at Pebble Beach was bad, they had to play with amateurs, etc. But the reason this golf tour ney is so important is the fact that in its 16 years of operation it has turned over $350,000 to charities. .There had been rumors for several years that Der Bingle would abandon the tourney com pletely. Then followed the re port after the last January event that it would be expanded. Now comes the official announce ment from the Professional Golf ers association headquarters in Dunedin. Fla., that everything is expanded. Refused to Play Down through the years I've heard players complain they wouldn't play in the Crosby tourney if they were "guaran teed first prize." These were some of the top professional golfers who "had it made" they had a reputation and money in the bank. For that reason, some of the fields in recent years have been short of the big names. "But they have the wrong idea entirely," says National Open champion Dr. Cary Middlecoff. "They don't realize how much Bing Crosby has done for the game of golf and how much he has helped promote our live lihood. "And those who refuse to play IRON LIEGE BILLED Camden, N. J. 'IP Calumet Farm trainer Jimmy Jones said today he'll start both Barbizon and Kentucky Derby winner Iron Liege in the $50,000 added Jersey Stakes at Garden State park, "barring any complica tions "between now and Saturday. in bad weather have the wrong outlook on this game, I believe. "I look at the blustery wea ther as a challenge. It is some thing that all of us have to play in at one time or another and it should be accepted as one of the hazards of the game of golf." In boosting the purse and in creasing the length of .play from 54 to 72 holes, there is one thing that generally has been over looked: the fact that it is going to cost Crosby a lot more money out of his own pocket. HEDRICK JUNIOR HIGH The auditorium went French for "Spring Time In Paree," the held May 18. A long white arbor with haw thorne blossoms entwining it served as theentrance way into the .French atmosphere of the auditorium. Park benches, color ed, old fashioned street lamps, flowers,- white picket fences, blossoming trees, and greenery created the attractive and spa cious effect of a French park scene. A painted street scene with French shops, cafes, and garbage cans with "Keep Paree' Clean" painted on them, formed the background for dining tables that gave that section of the audi torium the out-door French cafe air. A slide of the Napoleon Arch, as seen in Paris Square, was pro jected on a screen in front of the curtains on the stage. The Eiffel Tower, painted on a back drop, was over the band stand. The queen and king's throne rested high over the dance floor with several steps leading up to it. The throne was decorated with varied colors of flowers and greenery. Music was provided by "The Van Dyke Trio" organized by John Drysdale. Intermission events were a dance done by the "Ayres Twins," "When Apples Grow on a Lilac Tree" and 'T Could Have Danced All Night" sung by Mrs. Stanley Lacy and accompanied by Mrs. Drew, and the corona tion of the King and Queen. John Lacy announced the Queen, Elains Jennings, and the King, David Wood. The prin cesses and princes were Molly Barker, Jackie Mee, Karen Mor lan, Karen Walton, Marcia Bar rel!, Mike Parsons, Jim Miles, Mike Reich, Henry Olson, and Perry Whitlock. Refreshments were free colces donated by Wayne Jamison and cookies served by eighth grade waitresses dressed in French cos tumes with berets. Various games were backstage for people who preferred recrea tion rather than dancing. Chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Olson, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Somers, Mr. and Mrs. William Barker, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mor lan," M. and Mrs. C. H. Barrell and ninth grade faculty advisers.
