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.

fish there are in the sea, how
they are distributed and what
can be done to increase their
numbers. It might then be
possible to solve some of the
acute problems involved in
providing animal protein food

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.

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
