Plane Passengers Hurt as Airliner Avoids Collision Amarillo, Tex. -s-Wl Several of the 34 passengers aboard a Trans-Airlines Constellation air liner were thrown into the aisles and two persons suffered minor injuries Monday night when the plane dropped 500 feet suddenly to avoid a possible collision. The pilot, identified only as a "Captain Schamel," said he was flying at about 18.000 feet over Amarillo at 10 p.m. on a non-stop Chicago-Tucson flight when he unexpectedly spotted plane "running lights" in front ol him. He said he had to drop the plane so hastily he didn't have time to flash a warning to the passengers to fasten their seat belts. Tossed Into Aisles TWA sales manager Ivan Or- sum said several passengers were tossed into the aisles by the sud den maneuver and that the plane made an unscheduled stop at Amarillo to check the condition of the passengers. Mrs. Mary Clark, 68, North Adams, Mass., was hospitalized with cuts on the head and hostess Dorothy R e k o w suffered a bruised hip and a possible back injury. A doctor examined the other passengers and cleared them for continued flight to Tucson by 1 a.m. today. The pilot said he thought the unidentified plane he had seen was an Air Force ship but that he did not think it was a jet. Kangaroo Loses Part Of Tail To Tiger Memphis, Tenn. HB A kangaroo named Katie was in a painful, humilating fix today. Katie got too close to a tiger's cage at the Bill McGraw Circus during feeding time and acci dentally flopped her tail through the bars. The tiger promptly bit off 18 inches of it. Animal handlers wrapped about 12 inches of the tail in a sling from Katie's neck to keep it from hitting the ground. Circus officials said Katie now can go on with the snow. Shakespearean Fete Cost Estimated For This Season The cost of producing the Oregon Shakespearean festival this August will be $47,000, Angus Bowmer, producing di rector, told a group at the Chamber of Commerce round table luncheon yesterday. Bowmer said the figure is based on last year's sales, the remainder from program sales, program advertising and inci dental scources. Outsiders Domlniat Bowmer said that two sur veys showed 75 per cent of fes tival customers are from outside the Rogue valley. Tourists spend about 13,000 man-days in the valley, he added. Ticket sales at this point are up 24 per cent from last year. If final sales are this much high er it would mean tourists spend 22,500 man-days in the area. Bowmer explained. Tourist Spends Heavily He said the surveys estimated the average tourist coming the festival spends about $11 per day while in the valley. Figur ing on the basis of 24 per cent increase in last year's tourist man-days, this would mean $306,900 is-spent here. About 85 per cent of this goes into the general valley economy, and 15 per cent goes directly to the festival, he figured. oowmer suggested tnat a Chamber of Commerce commit tee be appointed to work with the festival association to "ex pand the expenditure of the tourist dollar." He listed methods of increas ing tourist spending as increas ing the number of people com ing to the valley, extending the festival season, and extending the tourist's stay. Board and Room Rates Hiked at Oregon Colleges Portland W The Oregon state board of higher education Monday approved an increase of about seven per cent in board and room at Oregon's state col leges and university. Controller Herbert A. Bork said the increase would raise stu dents' monthly board to $51 and boost room rents S5 a term, for a $40 annual all-around increase. This would make the student's annual bill about $640 instead of $600. Chancellor John R. Richards said he deplored the increase. "These raises," he declared, "tend to negate the whole rea son for public education which is to let all citizens attend college, regardless of their wealth." SOC Buildings Approved Bork said the Legislative- approved raises in civil service pay plus higher cost of fuel and food were the reasons for the increase. Final approval was given to plans for two self-liquidating projects at Southern Oregon Col lege in Ashland. Bids will be re ceived Aug. 8 on a four-story men's dormitory and a commons building which will house a cafeteria. Final plans also were ap proved for Portland State's sec ond classroom building and bids were called for Aug. 9, with a tentative finish date of late Sep tember, 1958. Allocation for the building is $1,323,000. I The board tentatively ap proved a 1957-59 budget of $735, 999 for land purchase and reha bilitation on all state campuses.
