TOTS -I Ends of child rens TO 1 If up lice' s water resource proposals So Washington (W Con gressional Democrats charged today that President Eisen hower's new water resource proposals are "inadequate" and constitute a "starvation policy." Republicans countered that the President's budget plan for public works develop ment is "the only sound course" to follow because of the need for increased de fense spending. Reaction to the President's recommendation for a ban on new water projects in fiscal 1959 starting next July 1 was quick, extensive and partisan. Rep. Overton Brooks (D- Deserter Wanted H a r r y Charles Engstrand, 18, of 428 Hamilton st,. Medford, is wanted on charges of deser tion by the navy, according to the Jackson county sheriff's deputies.

He said if new wa ter projects are banned for eign aid also should be ban ned. Brooks said people in the grass roots "are not go ing to stay hitched for this." Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), complained to the Senate that the $2 million requested for the Pacific Northwest's John Day dam was a "fraction of what is required." "This budget continues the policy of starving federal multi-purpose development in an attempt to force its bank rupt partnership policy upon the people who have repeat edly rejected it at the polls," LAWRENCE HORTON Candidate for Award Horton Is Named Jaycee Service Award Candidate Lawrence S.

"It continues the ad ministration's vendetta with comprhensive water resource development." Sen. Thurston B. Morton, (R-Ky.), countered that the President warned in his State of the Union Message last week some public works pro jects would have to be post poned. Only Sound Course "I agree with the Presi dent that this is the only sound course which this na tion can safely follow in the present threatening world situation," he said. Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.), deploring the Pres ident's water program, sin gled out the "slow-down" on Flaming Gorge dam, part of the Upper Colorado project, for specific, criticism. The President asked for a total of $4 million for the dam Including $1,500,000 to Congress To Get Bill for Higher Armed Forces Pay Washington (IP) In a fast follow-up to President Eisen hower's budget message the administration today planned to hand Congress a bill carry ing out a $508 million pay raise for the armed forces. The President said in Mon day's message he wanted to reward "proficiency and mer it", to stimulate trained men to follow military careers. The pay bill was expected to follow recommendations made last year by a commit tee headed by General Elec tric Co. president Ralph Cord iner. Eisenhower's budget con tained provisions for military "pay adjustments" totalling $182 million for the Army, $142 million for the Navy and $184 million for the Air Force. To Cut Present System Eisenhower said he aimed to cut out the present system under which military men ob tain pay raises simply by re maining in service. Under the "longevity system" the Pres ident said, a man of lower rank today can receive more pay than one of higher rank. The - President said he sought these aims: Addition of two pay grades for both officers and enlisted men, presumably to give greater latitude for pay raises for trained people. Widening of pay differ entials between grades by means of substantial increases for senior officers and senior enlisted men. Establishment of uniform starting pay rates for each rank. The President said he want ed the new pay scheme to go into effect next July 1.

JOHNSON EUGENE HOXIE Johnson Eugene Hoxie, 86, of San Diego, Calif., died Monday in San Diego, Calif. He was a former resident of Ashland and the Rogue val ley. Funeral arrangements will be announced by Litwil ler's Funeral home, Ashland. Said be transferred from the Nav ajo unit of Upper Colorado, one of the proposed new pro jects left out of the budget. O'Mahoney said last year the Reclamation Bureau had scheduled $12,135,000 for Fla ming Gorge for fiscal 1959, set 1963 as the completion date and promised the dam would be built simultaneously with. Glen Canyon, another unit of Upper Colorado. . The Wyoming senator said the requested $4 million for Flaming Gorge would make s i m u 1 1 a neous construction with Glen Canyon "impossi ble." Hopes Remain Sen. Arthur V. Watkins (R Utah) in whose state the Fla ming Gorge site lies, said the Reclamation Bureau "still hopes to place power from Flaming Gorge on the line at the same time as Glen Can yon power." "I shall do all I can to ex pedite this project whenever the opportunity presents it self," Watkins said. He added that although the budget rec ommended a reduced amount for Flaming Gorge, "late 1957 rumors had predicted this project would be cut out en tirely." Rep. Al Ullman (D-Ore.), joined Morse in labeling the $2 million figure for John Day dam "inadequate" and said he planned to make a "concerted effort" to get more money for the project. Sen. Warren G. Magnuson, (D-Wash.), said he was "very pleased" the budget recom mended $20 million for Ice Harbor Dam in his state and asked for $570,000 in plan ning funds for Lower Monu mental dam in the Columbia basin. Watkins said he was "great ly disappointed" the Vernal basin project in Utah were "casualties" of the ban on new projects. "However, I am sure resi dent of the basin not only recognize that they have a lot of company throughout the country but also under stand the need for a defense priority," Watkins said. Teachers Warned On Pay Requests Portland (IP) Portland school teachers were warned Monday night that any sal ary increase requests requir ing a special tax levy would be doomed from the start. Director Herbert M. Schwab said one salary pro posal would cost $2 million in new revenue. He comment ed that "those groups have a right to come before us, but in my opinion it is not in the cards to go to the people for salary increases now." John Ries, chairman of the salary committee of the Ore gon Education association, said the OEA had a salary proposal that might meet the requirements of the Portland board. Schwab recalled that Port land voters two years ago ap proved a new tax base for teacher pay increases on the understanding the base would stand for four years. Recent legislation also requires that Portland pay an additional $3.5 million into state basic schools upport monies and Schwab said those conditions plus a business recession would seem to rule out sig nificant pay increases this year. Veteran Hollywood Producer Succumbs Hollywood OP) Hollywood's tinsled world was saddened today by the loss of one of its pioneers, Jesse L. Lasky, Sr., 77, whose sudden death shocked the film capital. The veteran producer col lapsed and died Monday as he stood waiting for his car at the entrance of the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills.

Tuesday, January 14, 1S53 Sarah Churchill Released on Bail For Video Show Malibu, Calif. OP) Ac tress Sarah Churchill stars to day in a coast-to-coast color television show despite a le gal hangover from a fling that landed her handcuffed in jail on a charge of drunken ness. The red-haired green-eyed daughter of former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill was arrested by sheriff's deputies at her home Monday after the telephone company reported she had been using overly lurid lan guage for two hours on their wires.

At Rehearsal Director Walter Grauman said the 43-year-old actress was "Okay" on her lines at rehearsal and he was confi dent that "Sarah will do all right" on the show. Deputies Barney Miller and George Gentzvin described the actress as "obviously drunk" when the arrived at her home early Monday.
