Doubling Study of Oceans Necessary To Save Nation Hazards Washington -(Science Service)- Failure to double the intensity of deep-sea research in this country within the next 10 years will lead to serious economic, political and military.. hazards. This warning was contained in a report issued here by the Committee on Oceanography of the National Academy of Sciences - National Research Council. Doubling of the nation's oceanographic effort within this period, the report said, would cost more than $650, 000,000 over the present level of support. Supported By AEC The Committee is support ed by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, the Na tional Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research. Its chairman is Dr. Harrison Brown of fhe California In stitute of Technology, Pasadena. The three main general recommendations contained in the report were that: 1. The Government expand its support of the marine sciences at a rate "which will result in at least a doubling of basic research activity" during the next 10 years. 2. The increase in support of basic research should be accompanied by a 10 - year program of ocean-wide sur veys, which would require a two - fold expansion of the present surveying effort. " 3. The Government should expand considerably its sup port of the applied marine sciences, particularly in the areas of military defense, ma rine resources and marine ra dioactivity. Man's knowledge of the oceans is meager, the report stated, when compared tc their importance to him, and progres in the marine sciences in the United States has been slow compared to other areas of scientific endeavor. The committee stressed that it considered its recommenda tions minimal ones. Will Jeopardize Position ''Action on a scale appre ciably less than that recom mended," it said, "will jeop ardize the position of ocean ography in the United States relative to the position of the science in other major- na tions, thereby accentuating serious military and political dangers, and placing the na tion at a disadvantage in the future use of resources of the sea." Increased research effort, Price Supports Said Harmful To Small Farmers . Tulsa, Qkla.-IUPD-Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Ben son charged Friday night that price supports and acreage controls cannot solve the problems of small farmers but Instead have put them in an "economic strait-jacket." Benson told an audience at the annual "Outstanding Young Farmer" awards ban quet sponsored by the Tulsa Junior Chamber of Com merce that the national ad ministration does not want to "offer a future of government-imposed acreage allot ments and marketing quotas that cripple efficiency." Tough Barriers The agriculture secretary said that government controls and regimentation have put tougb barriers in the way of young people who want to go into farming. , For instance, Benson said the young man starting into farming today without any allotments faces a curious di lemma. "May be his father will conveniently retire," Benson said. "Maybe he can buy a farm and take over its quota. Maybe he can marry a quota. But good farms come high these days." He cites as examples cot ton, which has lost markets at home and abroad, tobacco, which is pricing itself out of both domestic and foreign markets, and wheat, which he said is glutting markets. He said the cost of supporting wheat alone is expected to reach $3.5 billion in July.

It might then be possible to solve some of the acute problems involved in providing animal protein food for the growing number of underfed people in the world. Research could also result in development of the ocean's vast mineral and food re sources, more accurate pre diction and possible control of climate, and the improve ment of -military defenses against surprise . attacks by missile-launching submarines. Research Ships Among the report's specific recommendations were the following: 1. Construction of 70 re search ships of 500 to 2,200 tons displacement between 1960 and 1970. 2. Development of manned submersible devices that cap operate on the bottom of most oceans; mid - ocean research platforms; deep - sea buoys, and ice-breaking submarines. 3. Selection of one agency to have over-all responsibility and authority for regulating introduction of radioactive materials into the oceans, and another agency to monitor such introduction. 4. International cooperation through financial support to the Special Committee on Oceanic Research of the In ternational Council of Scien tific Unions, and participa tion in the proposed year-long study of the Indian Ocean. Action Postponed " MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, February 20, 19St 7 On Airport Leases - The Medford city council postponed action on two pro posed airport leases last night pending a field trip to inspect the area that the prospective leases would occupy. Kenneth B. Owens seeks to establish a general aircraft service facility. Janrick Air service would operate a heli copter and airplane charter service as well as a repair and maintenance shop. Both would be situated in an area south of the terminal building. City Manager Rob ert A. Duff has proposed to the council that this area be developed by the city to the extent of paving and install ing curbs and water service. No action on this project was taken last night. Other Business In other airport business, the council: 1. Approved an emergency appropriation of $1,848 to pay for liability insurance. 2. Approved final accept ance of the installation of new high-intensity runway lights. The company providing the city's liability insurance, it was reported yesterday, dis covered recently that the company with which it in turn was re-insured did not contemplate airport coverage in their contract. Hence, the city's insurer informed the city that airport coverage had to be deleted from the policy Obtains Coverage The city in turn has ob tained airport coverage in a separate policy with the United States Aviation Insur ance Underwriters, according to official sources. The emer gency appropriation is re quired to pay the premium for this policy. Robert Van Sickle, Ward III councilman and an insur ance adjuster, -asked Duff to explore the possibilities of re gaining airport coverage in a package liability policy as in the former arrangement. Duff stated that the final cost for the high-intensity lights is 540,640.97, consid erably under the engineer's estimate of $59,285.10. Fed eral funds cover a majority of the cost, he told the coun cil. : The council last night also approved a Class B package store liquor license for Vern on T. Nelson, new proprietor of Luman's market, 236 North Front st. A Class A dispenser's li- cense application from Edna mae Hamm for a cafe at 42 North Front st., formerly the Vets' club, was turned down on the grounds that according to the state-established ratio, too many such licenses have already been issued here. Freezing Fog Noted In Central Oregon Salem -(UPD- A freezing fog was reported in central Ore gor today with Madras also reporting freezing raint There was a silver thaw south of Bend. One way 1 traffic remained in force south and east of Co quille because of damage to Highways 42 and 101. Senate Taxation Offered by Senator Salem- (DPI) -A bill which would raise more money than any other income tax plan is under study by the Senate Taxation Committee. The plan was first suggest ed to the Legislature in 1955 by Sen. Walter J. Pearson (D-Portland) who was then a member of the House. Pearson's plan calls for elimination of personal deduc tions, federal income tax de ductions, personal exemptions and dependency credits and split income provisions. Rates- would start at one half of 1 per cent on the first $500 of income and go to 6 per cent on all over $7,000. After a taxpayer had com puted his tax, a single per son would deduct $15, per sons on joint returns would deduct $27.50 and $10 for each dependent. Can Amend Measures The Senate Tax Committee has no power to originate tax measures, but it can amend measures sent to it by the House. Six proposals dealing with income taxes are being con sidered by the committee. A mild hassle took place in the Senate after Sen. Dan Dimick (D-Roseburg) attempt ed to re-refer to the Joint Ways and Means Committee a bill extending the powers of the governor during a dire emergency. The motion was defeated by 20 votes and the bill final ly passed. Dimick said in view of the fact that the Ways and Means Committee was now consid ering the budget of the Civil ian Defense Agency and there were indications that the agency might be transferred to the military, he thought the governor's bill should be referred to Ways and Means. 'It may be that the Civil ian Defense Agency may be eliminated entirely," Dimick said "and then there would be no need for this bill." Sens. John D. Hare (R Hillsboro) and G. D. Gleason (D-Portland) did not agree. They contended that even if there were no Civilian De fense Agency, other volun teer organizations would be prepared to aid in an emer gency and the broad powers of the governor would be nec essary to direct the activities if an enemy attack took place. Latin Fish Names Considerable a m u s'ement was derived by , members of the Senate and people in the gallery, when Sen. Walter Leth (R-West Salem) reeled off names of game fish in Latin from .the Oregon game code. His action was in response to a question posed by Sen. G. D. Gleason (D-Portland) as to what was the definition of a game fish. After reciting the Latin names from the game code, Leth told Gleason that if he wanted further definition he could read the code himself. "Does this mean that a sports fisherman must take a short course in Latin in or der to know what fish are game fish,?" asked Sen. Jean Lewis (D-Portland). There was no response and the bill redefining "gaffing Pan Am Airliner Crashes on Landing San Francisco -(HPII-A Pan American DC7 carrying a three-man' training crew crash ed, broke into two pieces and burned today on the rain swept runway of San Fran cisco International Airport. The crewmen escaped seri ous injury. No passengers were aboard the big four engine airliner as it crashed on landing after a training flight shortly before 8 a.m. (PST). An official in the airport tower said the DC7 "burned completely. It looks like a complete washout." Peak hour commuters on the Bayshore Freeway leading to San Francisco caused a huge traffic jam as they slow ed to view the burning plane. A half dozen airport fire trucks raced to the crash scene to fight the flames. Genera Assembly Resumes Sessions United Nations, N.Y. IPD The U.N. General Assembly resumed its 13th regular ses sion today to take up the ques tion of independence for the African territories of French and British Cameroons. and spearing" of game fish passed unanimously.
