MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TTVB Tax Reduction for Parents of College Students Suggested UtA Vltteuje DAIRY-SMITH East Main St. at Genessea Washington W The Amer ican Council of Education asked Congress today to spur education by granting tax cuts to parents of college stu dents. It also endorsed federal scholarships for "able" stu dents whose families have such low incomes they could not take advantage of the tax relief incentives. The council's views were outlined by John F. Meek, vice president of Dartmouth College, in testimony pre pared for the House Ways and Means Committee. The committee is conducting hear ings on proposals for tax re vision.

This would grant par ents tax savings up to $450 a year for each student for whom they are paying tuition. The plan is pending before the committee in legislation sponsored by two members Eugene J. McCarthy (D Minn.). Draws Opposition Both the Treasury and Mar ion B. Folsom, secretary of health, education and wel fare, have lined up in opposi tion. Folsom contends such tax relief proposals would not meet the real problem of low-income families get tc college but would aid parents who don't need it.

Girl Doesn't Know Reason for Killing Roommate Redwood City, Calif. rtPI Suzanne Elaine Soule tes tified she "just doesn't know" what prompted her to take a flatiron and a knife and slay her pretty roommate. That was the only explan ation Miss Soule, 20, a typist from Freeport, N. Y., could give for killing Catherine Marie Elvins, 19, in the Burl ingame apartment the girls shared. Her face ashen, Miss Soule took the stand in her murder trial Tuesday as a witness in her own defense. She has pleaded innocent and inno cent by reason of insanity. Her testimony came after a noon nour moo scene out side the courtroom. A yell ing crowd of 200 made a wild rush inside for choice seats. Six deputy sheriffs restored order, allowing more than 100 to remain in the court room. Defense attorney C. Brooks Ice asked: "Did you know that you were doing anything wrong?" "No," she whispered. Later on, under cross-exam ination, she added: "I remem ber sticking the knife in her. I remember two or three times." Ice asked, "Elaine, why did you kill Kit?" "I just don't know, I just don't know." John R. Ward Jr., Miss Soule's brother-in-law, and her sister, Mrs. Dorothy Ward testified about Elaine's "sud den trances." "Sometimes she would sit and stare for no reason at all," Mrs. Ward said. "I would talk to her and she would not answer me. Her eyes ap peared strange. They would not blink." Cutter Laboratory Suit Hears Jury Oakland, Calif. (IP) A $365,000 damage suit filed against Cutter Laboratories of Berkeley was expected to go to a jury of eight women and four men today. The suit was filed by the parents of two southern Cali fornia children who contract ed polio after they were inoc ulated with Cutter-made Salk vaccine. The children are Anne Eliz abeth Gottsdanker, 8, Santa Barbara, and James Phipps, 4, Monrovia. Anne's parents are asking $300,000. James' parents are asking $65,000. Meanwhile, a new damage suit for $150,000 was filed against Cutter, charging that the laboratory's vaccine was responsible for the paralysis of 7-year-old Stephen Hughes. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hughes, Tonopah, Nev. Defense attorney Wallace E. Sedgwich said in his clos ing arguments Tuesday that Cutter used the best tech niques known for manufac turing Salk vaccine before it released the product on the market in 1955. "Cutter was one of five companies asked to produce the vaccine in crash pro gram," Sedgwick said. They accepted it as almost a patrio tic duty. "They followed the rules for manufacturing the vac cine exactly step by step, and not one witness has been able to say that Cutter was guilty of one bit of carelessness or negligence." Eugene Man Killed By Accidental Gunshot Eugene (IP) Louis Kindt, 62, was killed at his home south of here Tuesday when the rifle he was cleaning dis charged. Police said a .32 caliber bullet struck him in the fore head. Kindt's wife said she left the house to go to the mail box, heard a shot, and returned to the living room to find him dead.
