Averell Harriman of New York called today for an anti recession tax cut, "a large and diversified program of public works" and Federal Reserve Board purchase of "several billion dollars" of government bonds to fight the recession. The Democratic governor said the Eisenhower adminis tration must bear the blame for the recession. He said it must now "face the facts, tell the people the truth and act positively and convincingly," or lose a vital battle in the cold war with Communism. Harriman made his recom mendations in testimony pre pared for delivery before the House Banking and Currency committee. Commerce Secretary Sin clair Weeks earlier attacked certain top-level congression al Democrats for "deliberate ly plotting" to exaggerate the seriousness of the business downturn and intimidate consumers. Certain Selfish Plotters In a week end speech at a GOP rally in Skowhegan, Me Weeks said he believed rank and -file Democrats like Re publicans sympathized" with the unemployed. "But I do charge," he said, "certain strategists of the opposition with deliberately plotting for selfish partisan advantage . to talk people into the jitters." . Elsewhere on Capitol Hill, the House Ways and Means committee was prepared to give final approval of a bill going far beyond President E i s e n hower's recommenda tions for supplemental un employment benefits. At the same time, the Sen ate Banking committee turned to small business legislation another item on the anti recession program of Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson.

Three Nuns Shot As Gunman Seeks 'To Get Even' Priest Disapproves Of Version of Bible Doylestown, Pa. (IP) Louis Felipe Marrero, charged with shooting three nuns and two other persons in a shotgun rampage in a Trenton, N. J., convent Saturday night, waived extradition today and was turned over to New Jersey authorities. Judge Edward D. Biester granted the extradition for Marrero who surrendered in nearby Falls township early Sunday morning after evad ing a police blockade in Tren ton. Sought lo 'Get Even' Marrero told reporters he went on his spree Saturday night to "get even" with a priest who had not approved of Marrero's version of the Bible. The 24-year-old laborer said he had been planning the at tack for three weeks. How ever, he changed his mind later and told a reporter, "I only meant to scare them but then something clicked in my mind." "I'm sorry about it," he said. "I might as well get what's coming to me." Marrero, married and the father of two children, said he was also mad at the Cath olic church for not baptizing his Protestant mother Emma who has been a patient at the Norristown, Pa. State hos pital for the last eight years. The Rev. Dominick Tutora, assistant cur ate at Stv Joa chim's church in Trenton, ex plained: "We told him we couldn't baptize her because Norristown is outside our diocese. He left without say ing much." Father Tutora added that Marrero's revised Bible the result of the laborer's "vis ions" of the Virgin Mary was "not worth reading." Marrero told newsmen he had other complaints with the church. He said he wrote to Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, en closing $2 and a suggestion for a special medal for Ameri can spacemen. "I told him there ought to be a medal for our -spacemen and for our rocketeers. Our spacemen are important and should be honored," Marrero said. "He answered my letter and said thanks for the $2, Mar rero said, "but he never ac knowledged my idea about the medal."

DAR Par Flood of Session Hardest To Survive Among Capital Big Three A. Robert Smith Ventures Into Hall By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The nation's capital is now basking in splendid release of spring time tension, for it has sur vived the three events most anxiously anticipated here this tima of year The opening of the Japa nese cherry blossoms, rough ly three 'weeks too late for the cherry blossom festival which this year passed with out a blossom in sight. The opening of the base ball season, which this year shot the Washington Senators into a one day lead in the American League, followed by a slide to 7th place. The closing of theCon tinental Congress, Daughters of the American Revolution. Of the Big Three, DAR week is much the hardest to survive. The much be-medaled and be-ribboned Daughters, 2750 strong, jam the hotels, pack the restaurants (includ ing the Senate dining room where they collar the states men at their chow) and gen erally occupy a point of not inconsiderable attention as they meet in their Constitu tion Hall to fashion the reso lutions for which they are possibly best known in this capital city. Orchid Heaving After seven years of cover ing Washington, this reporter finally quit pussy-footing around x and ventured, not without some trepidation, to the great Hall where this an nual conclave was mightily underway. Upon the stage, graced on other less floral occasions by a Heifitz or a Tbccannini, stood the Presi dent General. Her medal on the left 'flank, her orchid on the right flank heaving as she spoke, the General led her mighty army into the nostal gic mists of the 18th century whence their ancestors had come. Crusading valiently to turn this United States of America of 1958 back to that wistful period of ho foreign entanglements, the Daughters bombarded' the capital with these resolutions: Withdraw from United Na tions and kick the UN out of America; repeal the federal income tax; end foreign aid; repeal reciprocal trade act; tighten up immigration bar riers; consider ending diplo matic relations with Russia and satellites; curb power of the U.S. Supreme Court; in vestigate all mental health legislation; and oppose "the political, economic and so cialistic one-world activities of the National Council of Churches of Christ in America as destructive of the basic Christian principles upon which the church was found ed and urges its members to recognize the doctrine of col lectivism as a very real men ace to the survival of our Christian church." The attack on the National Council of Churches, which is a federation of 34 Protestant and Orthodox bodies having 38 million members, was but tressed by a memo from the DAR National Defense Com mittee made available to all in the lobby of the Hall "That'll be 11c, young man. These things cost money," said the Daughter in charge. The memo features an essay entitled "The Protestant Patriot's Dilemma." , Rebel Band Splits Unhappily for the Presi dent General and her general staff, a band of rebels split off from the main body to op pose this attack on the church group. They numbered about 75. " (Continued on page 11) ey Brings Resolutions "Stop At Once, Paris (IP) Georges Bidault, twice a post-war premier, set out today to form a new French cabinet but his un yielding "hard" policy on Al geria was believed to have doomed his efforts in advance. Bidault, 59, a member of the Catholic Popular Republi- Injuries, Arrest Result From Crash Jean Noel Wright, .18, of 2352 Jo-Jack rd., was arrested on charges of driving while under the influence of intoxi cating liquor Sunday after a car he was operating rolled over. He and three passeng ers were injured, according to state police. Passenger Judy Ann Faulk erson, 15, of 211 Cottage st., is reported in good condition. Janet Catherine Wilkerson, 36, of 34 Hawthorne st., is re ported in good condition and Kelly Lemarr Wilkerson, 4V4, of 34 Hawthorne st., is re ported in fair condition this morning by Sacred Heart hos pital authorities: All three are suffering from undetermined injuries. They were taken to the hospital by Medford Am bulance service. Wright was treated and re leased for minor injuries, of ficers said. Also in the car were two other passengers who did not suffer injuries, according to state police. They said the driver apparently lost control while going East on the Jacksonville highway about 6:20 p.m. Sunday. The vehicle slid aDout 100 feet, crossed the highway and rolled over at least once, they added. Two Girls Missing From Homes Here Medford police reported this morning two Medford girls have been missing from home since Thursday evening and are believed to have run away together. Police said Joyce Marie Riley, 16, who is five feet five inches tall, weighs 140 pounds, brown hair and blue eyes, is missing. When last seen she was wearing blue pedal push ers, a white sweater and green sandels. Kathline Doris Henderson, 14, who is five feet, nine inches tall, weighs 150 pounds, has long blond hair and blue eyes, is also missing. When last seen she was wearing tan pedal pushers, a black sweater and a tan car coat. Police said anyone having informa tion about the girls should contact the police station at once. Bidault Beli Out Do You Hear?' eved fclHC cans (MRP), is believed deter mined to hold on to Algeria even at the cost of a rift in NATO. . 1 President Rene Coty chose Bidault to make the first try at solving what may be tne greatest political crisis of the fourth Republic. Stumbling Blocks Bidault has these stumbling blocks ahead: He is at odds with his own party. Left wing groups, with 140 votes in the 596-m'ember National Assembly, are vio lently anti-Bidault. During the battle of Dien Bien Phu, when Bidault was foreign minister, he called for armed American intervention. The socialists, with 100 key votes, have warned they would not support a "policy of adventure" in North Africa. Followers of Bidault have hinted they would like to mount military operations against Tunisia to prevent its alleged interference in Al bania. ' Bidault's efforts to form a government coincided with na tionwide local elections in France. Political parties stud ied the returns closely but there were no major changes in the country's political align ment beyond a slight drift from the extreme left. Salem (IP) Robert H. An derson, Salem, assistant at torney general, has joined Don Parker as assistant in the legal division of the state ag riculture department this month. 71 X Upper Rogue Audience Hears of Plans For River Development, By EVELYN WATSON Shady Cove-Trail More than 150 persons met at the Shady Cove school gym Satur day evening to hear a discus sion of developments in water studies and water storage in the Rogue River basin. Shady Cove, Trail, Prospect, Sams Valley, Eagle Point, Medford and Phoenix were repre sented. The program was sponsored by the ' Shady Cove Grange No. 931. Stresses Real Objection Bill Jess, Eagle Point, presi dent of the Rogue Basin Flood Control and Water Resources association and chairman of the Jackson County Water Resources committee, spoke on getting the full benefit of the water in the river the rough developments which, in the past, have never been deemed feasible. He stressed the importance of keeping the real objective in sight. He also described the set-up DEBRIS STREWN OVER WIDE AREA UNITED AIRLINER FALLS IN DESERT Las Vegas - 'IP! An Air Force jet fighter went out of control high over Southern Nevada today, colliding at 21,000 feet with a New York bound United Air Lines DC7 with 47 persons anoard and sending both planes crashing into the barren desert. All 42 passengers and five crew members, as well as the two-man Air Force crew in the Super Sabre jet, wer killed. An Air Force spokesman at nearby Nellis Air Force Base, home station of the jet fighter trainer, said he "under stood" that the military plane developed "trouble" while flying at 30.000 feet and "flamed out," It spiraled directly down onto the four-engined airliner. The collision was witnessed from both the sky and the ground. Eyewitness Tells Of Seeing Debris Fall Through Air Editor's note: Buck Blaine, a part owner of the Golden Nugget gam bling casino was flying in his pri vate plane at the time of the crash between a United Air Lines plane and a jet fighter. His description of the crash follows. By BUCK BLAINE As Told To United Press Las Vegas (IP) "May Day. May Day." I heard the distress call rattling over the radio in my Cessna 182 as I was taking a morning flight over the des ert. x looked around and saw pieces of wreckage fluttering to earth, then was guided to the crash scene by the plume of black smoke from the fire. I saw one parachute drop ping from the wreckage. Saw Blue Paint The airliner wreckage was spread in an area some two miles long and about seven miles from McCarran Field. As I flew low over the burn ing plane I could see the blue paint of United Air Lines ffnd on one surface were the let ters "ted" followed by three numbers. The wreckage of the jet was about a mile west of the railroad community of Sloan, Nev. They were about eight miles apart. It took about 10 or 15 min utes for the man in the para chute to land and then I saw a helicopter from Neelis land and pick the man up in a green canvas litter. The heli copter wouldn't answer my radio calls to find out if the man was alive or dead. Planes Burn . Both planes burned for about a half hour after they crashed and the country is so rugged I don't see how they could get emergency equip ment in. It looked to me as though the crash happened at about 21,000 feet. That jet had no business being there in an airway. Hollywood API Attorney William Jerome Pollock has announced intentions of filing a $750,000 suit in Superior Court Tuesday charging Lana Turner, her 14-year-old daugh ter, Cheryl, and Stephen Crane with responsibility in the "wrongful death" of Lana's lover, Johnny Stom panato. of the Jackson County Water Resources committee, which has over 110 sub-committee members in Jackson county. The problems, feelings and desires of the people in re gard to developments can in this way be brought to the attention of the Oregon Water Resources Board, he said. Jess introduced Malcolm Kerr, investigations engineer of the State Water Resources board, who enumerated the principal uses of water as do mestic, municipal, industrial, mining, irrigation, wild life. He said that through the full use of water storage, such aims as flood control, drain age and reclamation can be obtained. He made the point that all existing water rights are pro tected, and only unappro priated waters can be used. Inventory Phase Completed Karr added that the first step, or the inventory phase, in the study of the Rogue River basin had been com At 10:45 a.m. (PST) nearly two hours after the crash. Nellis Air Force Base con firmed both men aboard the jet, a F100F fighter-trainer, were dead. They withheld names pending notification of next of kin. L. L. Miller, station agent at Arden, said he "didn't see the collision, but I sure heard it. It was like a sonic boom." Tumble lo Ground Witnesses oh the ground said that the jet dived "almost straight into" the airliner from 30,000 feet. It collided . with the four-engined plane at 21,000 feet, the normal flight pattern for a commer cial plane flying the area on visual flight rules. Both planes then burst into a big, white puff. That smoke quickly turned to a deathly black pall. And the two planes broke apart, following separately almost in a full dive onto the rock strewn desert in the same gen eral area where actress Carole Lombard met her death in a DC3 commercial plane crash in 1942. In Desert Country First to arrive at the scene was Denny Schieck, a photog rapher for the Las Vegas Re view Journey. He was en route to an assignment when he saw the two planes collide and drop. He said wreckage was strewn over the desert coun try for "several miles. At Chicago, United Air Lines said its plane carried 42 passengers and a crew of five. It identified the crew as Capt. Duane N. Ward, 1st of ficer Arlin Edward Sommers and flight engineer Charles E. Woods, all based in Denver; and stewardesses Pauline Mary Murray and Yvonne Ma rie Peterson, both based at Los Angeles. The UAL four - enginer plane left Los Angeles at 7:30 a.m. (p.s.t.). The flight, No. 736, was scheduled to have made stops at Denver, Kansas City and Washington before arriving in New York at 5:45 p.m. DOW-JONES AVERAGES New York (IP) Dow Jones final stock aver ages: 30 industrials 450.72, up 0.41; 20 railroads 111.60." up 1.42; 15 utilities 76.53. up 0.17, and 65 stocks 156.16, up 0.75.

He em phasized the importance that the opinions and feelings of the people play in an under taking of this sort. In closing,, he stated that a good start has been made on engineering and water studies in the basin. Tells of Progress Jess then introduced R. B. Batch, of the Army engineers, who told of the progress made by the engineers in water studies in the area. He con trasted the two proposed plans and locations for pos sible dams now under con sideration, and also discussed a multiple-purpose dam as compared to a dam for flood control only. f (Continued on page 11)
