Flying a distance equal to one and three-fifths times around the world, although never actually leaving the Continental United States, the six-engine plane was refueled in flight from a KC135 jet tanker. Not All-Type Record The plane, commanded by Capt Shelton J. Anthony Jr., broke the previous jet endur ance flight, also by a B47, which covered 21,000 miles in 47 hours, 35 minutes in No vember, 1955. It was not a record for all types of aircraft, however.

Electronics met strong sup port with gains of more than 3 in Motorola and Texas In struments. General Time and Zenith aided more than 2 each. American Motors featured in a generally firm motor section. It opened at 92 up 5V4 but lost around half of its gain in subsequent trades.

The Senate made public in formation on office payrolls Monday for the first time in 11 years. The three - months breakdown, from July 1 to Sept. 30, was the most detail ed disclosure in Senate his tory. Relatives Working The 110-page booklet dis closed that at least 19 senators had either relatives or in-laws somewhere on the payroll during the three-months per iod. They included Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.), who also was shown to have at least some say-so on Senate jobs totaling more than $600,000. Johnson's brother, Sam Houston Johnson, received $3,908.34 during the three month period as cierk to the conference of Democratic' sen ators. He works throughout the year at the same salary. Two No Longer Working Other senators who had relatives or in-laws on their own payrolls or elsewhere on the Senate pay lists during the July-September period were: John A. Carroll (D-Colo.), daughter; Dennis Chavez (D N.M.), niece; John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky.), sister; Carl T. Curtis (R-Neb.), son; James O. Aashland (D-Miss.), daughter; Clair Engle (D-Calif.), neph ew; J. Allen Frear Jr. (D Del.), nephew; Albert Gore (D Tenn.), niece; Olin D.

Engle's nephew is a capitol police man. Not Full Story The office payrolls failed to tell the full story of senatorial patronage. The vast bulk of it likes in lower paid jobs, such as elevator operators and policemen, and in bulging sub committee staffs. Senate Secretary Felton M. Johnston and Sergeant -At - Arms Joseph C. Duke receive the top salaries, a yearly rate of $19,249.92. Duke oversees the biggest patronage pasture - messengers, policemen, maintenance employees, etc., by the score. Four other Senate officials were paid at the rate of $17,- 049.96 per year. They were Chief Clerk Emery L. Frazier. Parliamentarian Charles L. Watkins: Robert G. Baker. secretary for the Democratic majority, and J. Mark Trice, secretary for the Republican minority. The other 74 top-bracket employees drew $4,074.99 for the three-months period or $16,299.96 annually. That is the maximum for an employee of any individual senator or committee. Washington - (DPD - Oregon's two Democratic senators have office payrolls of about $104, 000 a year, according to fig ures published Monday by the Senate secretary. The report said Sen. Wayne Morse had 19 employees who were paid $26,176 during the first three months of the cur rent fiscal year. Neuberger had 24 employees who drew $26,089 for the same period.

Rockefeller, a reliable source said, will decide with in the next five or six weeks if he intends to actively chal lenge Nixon in the New Hampshire "first in the na tion" primary election. So far the New York gov ernor has been tourning the country making speeches and talking with GOP leaders as an undeclared candidate. Scouting Ventures The governor's trips from the Atlantic to the Pacific have been scouting ventures and an important part of an overall campaign plan if he drops his hat in the presi dential ring. But as of now he "honestly has not decided" whether to make the fight.

He answered their questions, but declined to say whether he would plunge into the New Hamp shire primary in March. An informed source said Rockefeller was well aware Nixon had the backing of a majority of national Repub lican leaders and that if he did officially make a bid he would stand little or no chance of directly winning them over. The way he would have to accomplish that feat is to win primaries, a man date from the rank and file voters to, the party leaders.

Igllllll BIG Y APPLIANCE CENTER Phone SP 3-3052 , st Round Butle Dam Battle Continues At FPC Hearing Portland -UPI)- The battle over the proposed Round Butte dam on the Deschutes river continued before a Fed eral Power Commission hear ing today. The FPC, which follows by only a short time a lengthy state hearing on the $71 mil lion project, got under way Monday with a flurry of statements by opponents and proponents. Sister Project Portland General Electric Company wants to build Round Butte, as a sister pro ject to its Pelton dam on the Deschutes. The State Water Resources Board last week gave its approval provided safeguards for fish and recre ation were made. In the case of Pelton dam, the State Hydroelectric Com mission turned down the pro ject but the FPC licensed it and the U.S. Supreme Court upheld federal jurisdiction, The Water Resources Board has referred its decision to the Hydroelectric Commis sion. Opponents Speak Opponents Monday were led by Sen. Richard L. Neu berger (D-Ore.) and by Ers- kine B. Wood, Portland at torney and chairman of the Citizens Conservation com mittee. Both stressed natural resource conservation and Wood also called Round Butte a "marginal" project and said testimony would show steam power could be produced more cheaply on a firm basis. Two central Oregon wit nesses, Owen Tanner, Bend attorney, and J. R. Roberts, Redmond merchant, said Chambers of Commerce there believed the reservoir to be created by Round Butte would increase recreational use.
