expanded sanitation facilities,
new horse barns, new first

Vels Warned of
Starting College
Salem-Oregon's World War
II veterans were cautioned to
day that this fall or winter
may be their last chance to
start a full-time college course
of training under the state
veterans' educational aid pro
gram, because their deadline
to enter school under the pro
gram is June 30, 1959.
The warning came from
Franklin G. Reynolds, educa
tional officer for the state
department of veterans' af
fairs, which administers the
benefit. Reynolds urged vet
erans who plan to enter school
this fall under the program
to start now to establish their
eligibility. He said they may
apply through their county
service officers, their ..school
registrar, or by direct con
tact with the state veterans'
department in Salem or Port
land. The June 30, 1959 dead
line applies only to World
War II veterans. There is no
deadline for Korean veterans.

Olke Signs Ml To Raise
Social. Security (Benefits
Washington - IEPD - Presi
dent Eisenhower signed into
law today a bill affecting the
pocketbooks of nearly 90 mil
lion Americans. It increases
social security benefits by 7
per cent and raises taxes on
both workers and employers'
to help foot the bill.
The measure was one of 42
the President approved in a
flurry of bill signing that
came a few hours before he
was to leave for a vacation at
Twenty One TV
Quiz Producers To
Face Questioning
New York-dJPE-District At
torney Frank Hogan said he
would question today the pro
ducers of the big money TV
quiz show "Twenty-One" and
the former contestant who
charges he was fed answers.
The show's producers, Jack
Barry and Dan Enright, said
Thursday night they would
"present documentary evi
dence" showing charges by
former contestant Herbert
Stempel are "entirely spuri
ous and malicious." They said
the evidence will include
"statements by Stempel.".
Hogan, who is investigating
two yet-unnamed quiz shows
besides "Twenty-One" and
the defunct show "Dotto,"
said he would question about
a dozen persons, today about
charges of rigging.
Hogan said Thursday he has
not found any evidence that
would require grand jury ac
tion. He said there did not
appear to be any law against
fixing a quiz show unless it
could be shown the sponsor
had been defrauded.
No Basis for Complaint
"I don't think the people
viewing have any basis to
lodge a complaint under the
penal law although they have
a right to be angry," he said.
Hogan said if it proves to
be true some shows were
fixed "it might be proper to
recommend legislation or to
send the matter to the Federal
Communications Commis
sion." The National Broadcasting
Company, which carries
"Twenty-One" said Thursday
night the charges made by
Stempel "first came to our
attention over a year ago."
"At that time we made an
investigation and found them
(the charges) to be utterly
baseless and untrue," NBC
said. "We are completely con
vinced of the integrity of
'Twenty-One as a program
and of the integrity of its
producers, Barry and En
right." 'Dotto' Investigated
Stempel won $60,000 on
the program before he lost to
Charles Van Doren, who went
on to win $129,000 before he
was unseated by Vivian Near
ing. Van Doren said he never
had any reason to doubt the
integrity of the show.
Stempel was questioned for
about three hours Thursday
by Assistant District Attorney
Joseph Stone. Stone said after
ward "a lot of important peo
ple are involved here."
Stone said much of the in-

Dr. Alick Isaacs said the

Eisenhower Signs
Appropriation for
Missile Projects
Washington - (UPD - Presi
dent Eisenhower today sign
ed a $1,353,850,000 ap
propriation for missile-age
military construction projects,
The measure, a compromise
agreed to by Congress on the
final day of its 1958 session,
carried almost 22 per cent
less than the $1,730,653,000
he had asked.
The bill's major items pro
vide $785 million for the Air
Force, $295 mililon for the
Navy, and $230 mililon for
the Army. The administra
tion's requests were for $991,-
900,000, $360,253,000, and
$340,900,000, respectively.
$90 Million Slashed
The Air Force funds in
cluded $252,500,000 for bal
listic, defensive, and strategic
missiles. The House had slash
ed $90 million from the Air
Force missile request for fa
cilities for the Titan 5,000-
mile range rocket, on grounds
that preliminary architectural
work would'nt be completed
until early next year. The
House-Senate conferees re
stored $70 mililon of the cut,
however.
The bill also gives De
fense Secretary Neil H. Mc-
Elroy authority to transfer
$50 million from other funds
to the advanced research proj
ects agency for construc
tion. Academy Limited
The measure limits total
spending at the new Air
Force Academy at Colorado
Springs, Colo., to $139,797,

amount that can be spent for
a hospital there to $3,600,000.

UN Decisions on
Claims To Moon
Urged in Talk
The Hague (UPD The
American president of the In
ternational Astronautical Fed
eration expressed concern to
day over the possibility the
Russians may try to annex
all or part of the moon.
Andrew J. Haley of Wash
ington told a space-law con
ference here,, he hopes the
United States and Russia -the
nations most likely to be
the first to land men on the
moon - will let the United
Nations decide whether earth
nations should be allowed to
claim moon territory.
Haley said specifically he
would "feel happier" if the
Rusisans would give some as
surance they have no territo
rial designs on the earth's
first satellite.
Regulations Urged
He also urged regulations
requiring nations who launch
"manmade moons" to install
controls that would prevent
their becoming a menace to
life and property.
"As the satellite vehicles
grow larger and larger, the
metal scattered in the death
plunge (when they disinte
grate on .reentering the atmo
sphere) Will become more and
more dangerous . . ." he said.
"We must therefore provide,
through the means of 'radio
command,' that the nation
which projects a satellite will
be able to guide that satellite
to earth in an area free from
threat to life and property,
or destroy it harmlessly.
"No one seems to realize
the terrible implications of
placing earth-circling .' ve
hicles in orbit without first
providing means to control
these vehicles."
