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.
