New Coastal Warning
Display System To Go
Into Effect Jan. 1
A new simplif ed system of
coastal warning displays will he
come effective Jan. 1. 1958. the
weather bureau has announced.
Under the new system, only
four separate flas signals during
the day and lantern sienals at
nicht will be used instead of sev
en separate sisnals. The new sia
rls for small craft, gale, whole
gale and hurricane warnings.
Under the present system,
warnings are small craft, north
east storm, southeast storm,
southwest storm and hurricane
or whole gale.
Not A Replacement
The weather bureau pointed
out that visual storm warning
signals displayed along the coast
are supplementary to. and not a
replacement for, the written ad
visors and warnings given
prompt nd wide distribution by
press, radio and television.
The new system of coastal
warning display signals was
adopted after several months of
preparatory work and consulta
tions with marine groups, yacht
clubs, shipping agencies and oth
er coastal interests.
Briefly, the new duplay sig
nals are:
Small craft warnins: one red
pennant by day an red light
above a white light t night to
indicate winds up to 38 miles
per hour.
Gale warning: two red pen
nants by day and white light
above a red light it night to indi
cate winds ranjing from 39 to
54 miles per hour.
Whole gale warning: a single
square red flag with black cen
ter by day or two red lights at
niht to indicate winds ranging
between 55 and 73 miles per
hour.
Hurricane warning: two square
red flags with black centers by
day or a while light between two
red lights at night to indicate
winds- more than 74 miles per
hour.
Additional information con
cerning the new system may be
obtained from the Medford
weather bureau station at the
municipal airport.

Federal School
Aid Backers Irked
By Ike's Position
Washington IP Advocates of
federal school aid were dis
appointed today by President
Eisenhower's lukewarm appro
val of a compromise measure to
meet the critical classroom
shortage.
They said the President's posi
tion, expressed in a letter to
Rrp. Peter Frelinghuysen Jr.
IR-X.J.), by no means guarantees
passage of the bill. They had
hoped the President would unite
liberal Democrats and Eisen-
ihower Republicans behind the
compromise.
Eisenhower said it is urgent
for Congress to act this year to
meet the shortage of classrooms
across the nation. But he gave
only partial approval to the
compromise school aid bill call
; ing for federal outlays of Sl,
500.000,000 during the next five
years. 1
He said the measure follows
principles "which I consider ba
sic to sound federal legislation
on this subject," But he de
: dined to "pass judgment on all
details of this bill while it is
still before Congress."
The compromise would author
ize federal expenditure of S300
million annually for five years.
: Half would be allocated to
! states on the basis of need and
half on the basis of school popu
lation. The President originally
sought S325 million in each of
the next four years with the
money to be distributed solely
on the basis of need. Democrats
j wanted a six-year program of
I $600 million anually with states
I matching the money dollar for
dollar.

Stale Tax Program
Debated at Meeting
Portland 'IP The tax pro
gram passed by the recent Legis
lature got a going over Tuesday
before the Kiwahis club here
with a Democrat defending it and
a Republican criticizing it.
State Rep. Richard Eyerr.ann,
Mohawk Democrat, was critical
of those "who use only part of
the figures" in criticizing the
Democratic tax program. He
said it was not proper to cite
state income taxes alone in com
paring Oregon tax payments
with those of other states.
State Sen. Lee Ohmart, Salem
Republican, said the Democratic
controlled Legislature "failed to
face up to its responsibility and
enact a broad-base tax program."
He said he personally favored a
sales tax as part of the finance
system.
Eyemann said greater state in
come tax payments lessen the
amount of federal tax that must
be paid.

trade.
He fought a gun duel with his
ex-wife's husband, Stuart Martin,
40, in the early morning dark
ness, crippling him with a shot
gun blast in the leg.
Uses Shotgun
Then he battered his way into
Martin's luxurious suburban
home to wipe out the woman
and child he once loved. He
killed his former wife, Mrs. Alma
Martin, 36, and her son. Jack
Whitaker, 11, with the double
barreled shotgun.
He then shot ond seriously
wounded his daughter, Regina, 9,
as she pleaded for her life.
Whitaker, held in Vigo county
jail under $50,000 bond on a
first degree murder warrant,
showed no remorse over his
killing spree.
In a signed statement to Chief
Deputy Prosecutor John Kessler,
Whitaker was quoted as saying
the wife-swapping caused him
"lot's of grief" because he
couldn't see his children often
enough.
Mrs. Whitaker told United
Press she "definitely" would
stand by her husband. She de
scribed him as a mild-mannered
man who was driven to murder
in his fight for what he thought
was right.
Whitaker surrendered Tues

St. Bonaventure, N. Y. flr
The art of hand-binding books
and magazines may be consid
ered obsolete in this country,
but you couldn't prove it by
the vast St. Bonaventure Uni
versity library.
For the Rev. Joseph Ruther,
OFM, head of the university's
mathematics department, has
proved that the old way has
rhyme and reason in this age
of machine stitching.
The Franciscan friar took up
binding as a hobby in 1945 when I
the school found it was losing
the use of books for long periods
of time when they were sent out
for repairs.
Since then, Father Ruther has
become an expert in the art of
hand-binding. His hobby has
grown into a "full-time, part
time job."
Father Ruther, aided by two
' student assistants, re-binds an
average of 1,200 books and per-
iodicals a year. Working in a
i basement room of Friedsam Li-
brary on campus. Father Ruther
! has rebuilt more than 9,000 vol
! umes since he first took up his
9 l "hobby." i

much since bookbinding as we
know it was invented by the
English in 1832," Father Ruther i
said.
"One difference now is that
strings are on the inside instead
of the outside as in the old days.
Aiter a while, the job becomes
a set of processes. Each book
and magazine has its own prob-'
lems thickness, type of paper, j
etc. but the processes remain :
the same." i
Father Ruther said bookbind
ing had two requisites a good
pair of hands and infinite pa
tience. "Make one error in the 35
steps and that error plagues i
the entire operation," he concluded.

Martin, a wealthy commercial
photographer, and Whitaker be
came close friends several years
ago as fellow members of the lo
cal Elks club. The couples spent
many evenings together and last
year decided to trade wives.
Mr. Whitaker was awarded a
divorce Aug. 18, 1956, and the
ex-Mrs. Martin won a divorce
Dec. 12, 1956. Both wives
charged cruelty and neither di
vorce was contested.

Moore's title, helped shift him
to the 175-pound rankings at
the top.
He was aided also by Canad

with Tony Anthony of New

the top to No. 2, and previously
