The deputies flung down their first serious challenge to the general when the As sembly's Corttmittee on Uni versal Suffrage tossed out his bill on constitutional reforms. The committee did not even vote on De Gaulle's measure, which would have empowered him to put government consti tutional amendments right to the people instead of going through Parliament. Instead,' it put together a measure of its own and sent it to the1 Assembly for con sideration tonight. The watered-down version was approv ed in committee by a vote of 21 to 11, with nine absten tions. The Communists sup ported it.

In Hew Budget Disagreement Arisen On County Judge Pay A ten per cent raise in sal aries for all county elected officials will be requested of the county budgetPcommittee this week by the county court. The increase will be rec ommended as part of the new compensation plan for all the county employees which is expected to be put into effect the next fiscal year. Jackson county's pay for elected officials ranks 11th place among Oregon counties and the increase would put it in fifth place, the county court reported. Acksqn county Is now fifth in population in the state. Not Complete Agreement Present salaries for elected officials include $5,760 for county, judge; $5,520 for two commissioners, assessor and sheriff; ;$54i)0, clerk;. $5,040, treasurer, and surveyor, $1,800. It was understood that there is not complete agree ment among members of the court on the request for a 10 per cent raise in pay for the County judge. A 10 per cent raise in the judge's salary at the present time would necessitate a drop in pay when the newly-elected judge would take over in January, a member of the court explained. All members of the court have been sched uled to receive the same sal ary since the judge's position is not judicial, it was said. Navy Trainer Wreckage Located Mountain Lake, Idaho (UPI) Searchers today reached the wreckage of a Navy jet trainer which appar ently exploded and plummet ed to the ground in a moun tain region northeast of Moun tain Home.

Hadley, deputy commander of opera tions for the 9th air base group at Mountain Home Air Force base, said a shoe and a knife were found in the area, but "we can't definitely say whether the pilot was in the plane when it crashed." Hadley said it was definite ly established that the plane was the overdue TV-2 trainer.

BK Military Aid Cur Will Be Propose: Washington (UPI) Sen William Proxmire (D - Wis.) said today he would introduce an amendment today to cut $339 million in military assist ance funds from the foreign aid bill. The Senate resumed debate on a $3,713,000,000 bill ap proved by the Senate For eign Relations Committee. No voting was scheduled before Tuesday. The amount voted by .the committee is $110 million more than was approved by the House but $229 million less than President Eisenhow er's original foreign aid re quest. . e Proxmire pointed out in a prepared statement his amend ment would bring the total in the Senate version down to the level of the House meas ure. But he said the entire reduction would be in mili tary assistance and defense support. ; "If adopted," he said, it would constitute a directive to Senate conferees to work for reduction" strictly in the military aid appropriations." - Proxmire said this was de sirable because testimony be fore the Foreign Relations Committee had shown "whole sale waste" in military aid to Laos, Cambodia, Viet Nam, Baker Sheriff Foils Jail Break .

The Irrigation and Reclama tion Subcommittee, by a 15-13 vote, defeated a motion to ap prove the last remaining Hells Canyon bill and send it on to lhe full Interior commit teey The subcommittee last year killed w similar measure by Rep. Grade Pfost (D-Idaho). ButTechnically a Senate-passed Hells Canyon bill was still pending before the subcom mittee. !d Day for Ullman Subcommittee Chair man Wayne Aspinall (D-Colo.) who voted for the federal project, said after today's vote: Jhis does it for good the High Hells Canyon dam is dead." 0 Rep. Al UllmSSi (D-Ore.), onVof the leadersJn the f;ght for e project, said "This is a sad day." Idaho Power Co. has been licensed by the Federal Pow er Commission to construct three private dams at the Hells Canyon site on the Idaho-Oregon border. Two of the units, Brownleeand Oxbow, alreadyjQarr under construc tion. Opponents of the federal dam said the company has spent abou1$87 million- on the two dams. They would have been flooded out if a single-high government dam were built. Rep. William A. Dawson (R-Utah), said power from the Brownlee propt is QEpected to be available in about 75 days.Q . O Could Take OveUnit Mrs. Pfost argued before the vote that the federal gov- 0 eminent still could come out ahead by buSding the" high dsm. She said the govern ment could take over the Brownlee unit for about $76 million and reajize enough profit from selling the power it produces to justify flood ing it out latter if the high dam were constructed. Tillman tnlri thA cuftrom iritee that "the primarys sue here is whether we will get full development of one of the greatest natural dam sites in the country." He harmed that the Idaho Pow er projects are "entirely in adequate." But Rep. A. L. Miller (Neb.) ranking Republican on the subcommittee, said that the years of debate on the Hells Canyon issue have "establish ed beyond doubt that the pri vate development is best." Polls To Open For School Vote Two polls, one at each jun ior high school, will be open from 2 to 8 p. m. tomorrow for the Medford school district's annual budget election.. Total estimated tax for the fiscal year will be $1,613,763. 54, of which $997,082.79 is outside the six per cent limita tion, making the budget elec tion necessary, as it has been each year for the past 12 years, due to rapid increases in population and costs.
