Calls for Prompt
Tax Reduction
Government Bond
Purchases Urged
Washington (IP) Gov.
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.
Rockefeller Report
Nelson Rockefeller, head of
a panel study of the nation's
economy, issued a report call
ing for an immediate $5 to
$7 billion tax cut.
The report of the Rocke
feller Brothers Fund, Inc.,
made public Sunday night,
urged reductions in both per
sonal and corporation income
taxes as part of a six-point
program to stimulate business
and employment. ,
Rockefeller said some panel
members favored a $5 to $7
billion cut and "that seems
reasonable to me." He said
members differed on when the
cut should go into effect but
all agreed it should be order
ed within a month or so.

ceived a number of contact
photographs from the Pacific
Air Industries, of Long Beach,
Calif., which recently com
pleted photographing the city
as the first step preparing an
aerial map.
Ned Langford, city planning
consultant, said the next step
would be the location of con
trol points on each print. The
control points were made by
painting five-foot white cir
cles on several intersections
before1 the photographs were
made last month. ,
The control points will be
used by the California firm as
the next step in completing
the map. Langford said the
finished print will be about
five times larger than the con
tact prints.
The map, when finished,
will be used in connection
with,- Medford's . urban plan
ning program by other city
departments in planning, ac
cording to Robert Duff, city
manager.

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."
Minors Fined $25
On Liquor Charges
Six minors, including five
fboys and a girl, were fined
$25 and costs in district court
this morning on charges of
illegal possession of alcoholic
beverages. '

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. "

Bidault was foreign minister,
he called for armed American

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.

who told of the progress made
by the engineers in water
