Morse Criticizes;
'Giveaway' Plan
Washington, OP) Sen.
Wayne L. Morse Saturday ac
cused President Eisenhower of
"giving away our best means"
of meeting the cost of the na
tion's education needs.
The Oregon Democrat, in
his weekly radio broadcast
for Oregon stations, referred
to the President's recent stand
that Texas has a right to ex
plore submerged oil lands for
10 V2 miles into the Gulf of
Mexico. Morse said the posi
tion reversed that of the just
ice department in pleading
before the supreme court that
Texas' rights extended for
only three miles offshore.
Morse said Mr. Eisenhower
expressed his views in a letter
to H. J. Porter, Houston oil
man.

Effort Urged To
Be First To Make
Planet Flights
Washington HP) The
National Advisory Commit
tee for Aeronautics proposed
today the United States make
an urgent effort to be first in
sending men on flights to the
moon and nearby planets.
The NACA is the govern
ment's top aviation research
agency. Its chairman is Lt.
Gen. James H. Doolittle,
World War II hero and
scientist.
Warning of Russia's chal
lenge, it said "development of
manned satellites and the
travel of man to the moon
and nearby planets," is vital
to U.S. prestige and de
fense. It called for a mobilization
of government, science and
industry to achieve the goal.
The NACA rejected the
idea that either tne Defense
Department alone or any new
civilian agency take on the
job alone. It proposed instead
that its own multi-million dol
lar reasearch laboratories in
California, Ohio and Virginia
be expanded and its 7,900
man staff increased to handle
the research and develop
ment to put this country in
the forefront in interplane
tary exploration.
The NACA outlined its
program simultaneously here
and in New York.
Dr. Hugh L. Dryden, NACA
director, said, in a speech pre
pared for the Institute of the
Aeronautical Sciences in New
York that America's present
space research is t "far from
adequate." .
"Our rate of progress in
solving the problems of space
flight must be very greatly
increased," he said.
Soule Trial Set
To 60 To Jury
Redwood City, Calif. (IP)
The sanity trial of convicted
murderess Elaine Soule is
scheduled to go to the jury
today and the jury is to de
cide but one issue.
Superior Judge Frank B.
Blum ruled that the jury
must determine only whether
the 20-year-old Freeport, N.Y.
typist was legally sane when
she killed her roommate with
a flat iron and a kitchen
knife last July 24.
During Friday's session, the
judge barred the jury from
considering whether Miss
Soule should be treated in a
hospital or a prison.
The same jury found Miss
Soule guilty of second degree
murder last Tuesday for the
slaying of Catherine Elvins,
19, daughter of a prominent
Seattle physician. It is now
hearing her plea of not guilty
by reason of insanity.
La Grande Attorney
Said Suicide Victim
La Grande (IP) Howard
E. Dixon, 57, La Grande at
torney, died here Saturday
and the coroner's office called
the death a suicide.
Dixon had been in ill health
and was despondent. The body
was found by the widow in
the garage of the Dixon home
and authorities said death was
caused by a self-inflicted gun
shot wound.
Mammoth Spring in north
Arkansas is one of the largest
springs in the United . States,
flowing at the rate of 215

1957 Traffic Death
Toll Moved Upward
Salem (IP) Oregon's 1957
traffic death toll has been
edged up to 464 two more
than originally tallied at the
end of the year.
The higher toll involved the
death of a person injured in
an October crash and the de
layed report of a December
fatality, the Department of
Motor Vehicles reported.
Officials said it appeared
that the January death toll
for this year will be almost
certainly equal and may top
the 27 recorded for that
month last year. Through last
Wednesday, 22 deaths had
been reported.
