Thursday, February 19, 1959 MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORO, ORE. Democrats Decide To Cut Airport Aid Program Washington - (LTD - Con gressional Democrats decided today to give in to President Eisenhower's economy pleas by cutting back their airport aid program. But Republican Sen. Norris Cotton (N.H.) described Ei senhower's delicately-balanced budget as a "house of cards . . .bound to be toppled soon er or later." He said the spending juggernaut was "rolilng through the halls of Congress completely un checked." Key Democrats forecast the House Commerce Committee would trim the Senate-pass ed $465 million airport plan. Chairman Qren Harris CD Ark.), who earlier sponsored a $437-million version, was said to be ready to urge the committee to cut it to $380 million. Still Above Proposal That still would leave the Democratic measure $180 million more expensive than Eisenhower's proposal. Democrats felt GOP charges that the program would throw the government into the red in fiscal 1960 were punctured by the fact that it would cost only $15 million more than the President's in the next 16 months. Democrats, apparently feel ing the sting of Eisenhower's "spend-thrift" charges, al ready have cut $100 million from the airport plan in the Senate and $875 million from an omnibus housing , bill in the house. Other congresisonal news: Labor: Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) of the Senate Rackets inquiry was scheduled to introduce a labor clean-up bill. This came on the heels of approval by the Senate labor subcommittee of a milder Democratic measure sponsored by Sen.s John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Sam J. Ervin (D-N.C). Senate Re publicans said the subcom mittee action did not kill off Eisenhower's sterner labor re form proposals. Farm: Sen: Frank Carlson (R-Kan.), introduced a bill to curb the nation's huge wheat surplus. He conceded it might raise the price of bread by boosting the cost oi wneat. But Carlson said his measure would save taxpayers at least $400 mililon a year by cutting the wheat surplus, the num ber one farm problem. Civil Rights: Northern lib erals were assured that the first congreslonal civil rights bearings will concentrate on the strong proposals they support rather than more moderate measures. Tax: The House passed by voice vote a bill to increase taxes on the life insurance in dustry by $200 million a year. If it becomes law it would bring in $545 million in taxes on 1958 insurance income. The bill was sent to the Sen ate where early hearings were planned. Fog Over England Worst in 20 Years London-DPD-A great blan ket of fog hovered over south- TT rtl -n-i i-J iniiT naralv7inff 11 flllglOUU J , f . J CP land, sea and air transporta tion in the worst blackout in 20 years. v London airport has been out of service since Wednes day night, bus service in the city was virtually nonexist ent, and the few trains that completed journeys to the capital ran far behind schedule. Highways leading to Lon don were clogged by aban doned cars and trucks. Shipping officials were as semblipg tenders to take pas sengers off the giant liner Queen Elizabeth, fog-bound for four days in the English Channel a few miles from Southampton. The fog caused a number of shipping accidents-notably the grounding of a Norwegian tanker near the Isle of Wight and a collision between a small British liner and a fish ing boat-but no casualties were reported. Similar conditions applied in 25 counties, a belt of ter ritory stretching from the Channel to the industrial mid lands. "We cannot recall . such a complete, and widespread blackout . . ." said auto-club spokesmen. "Conditions are the worst in 20 years." Lobsters can live only in salt water.
