Air Force Bomber
Sets Endurance
Mark of 80 Hours
- Dayton, Ohio HTD An air
Force B47 bomber, testing a
new aircraft seat and a high
pressure in-flight refueling
system, set a jet plane endur
ance record Monday with a
continuous filght of 80 hours,
38 minues for a distance of
39.200 miles.
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. In
Major Industrial
Categories Higher
New York - (ITD - Stocks
staged a broad advance to
day with most of the major
industrial categories moving
up from their opening levels.
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 issue gained on the rec
ommendation of a 3-for-l
stock split and favorable divi
dend action.

Figures Made
Public for First
Time in 11 Years
Washington - 1TD - Payroll
figures showed today that the
Senate, with its 100 members
at $22,500 a year each, also
has at least 80 employees mak
ing more than $16,000 annual
ly. The Senate made public in
formation on office payrolls
Monday for the first time in
11 years. The three - months

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

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

lege student with a summer

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

The report, listed William
Berg Jr.; Morse's administra
tive assistant, as receiving
$16,300 a year. Lloyd Tup
ling, Neuberger's administra
tive assistant, is paid about
812,500 a year, according to
the report.

Rockefeller Nears Big Decision
Albany (UPD Nelson A.
Rockefeller is nearing 'the
big decision-whether to op
pose Vice President Richard

presidential nomination.
Rockefeller, a reliable
source said, will decide with
in the next five or six weeks
if he intends to actively chal

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.
Rockefeller has accepted
the underdog roe so the
scouting tour is not to weigh
his chances of winning, but

their questions, but declined
to say whether he would

An informed source said
Rockefeller was well aware
Nixon had the backing of a
majority of national Repub

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

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.
Trucks hauled 260 billion
ton-miles of freight between
United States cities in 1957.
