Clatskanie Fire
Fatal to Mother,
Two Daughters
Father, Another
Daughter Survive
Clatskanie (UPD A young
mother and two small daugh
ters died today in a fire which
swept through their two-story
frame home at this Columbia
river community.
The victims were Mrs.
Henry Van Horn, 23; a three-year-old
daughter, Pearl, and
another daughter, 18-month-old
Betty.
Trapped Upstairs t
Fire Chief E. W. Wasser
said they apparently were
trapped upstairs in the home
and possibly were overcome
by smoke. The bodies were
badly burned.
The father, 27, and another
daughter, five-year-old Don
na, escaped. The girl jumped
from an upstairs window.
A fireman said he saw the
woman's arm resting on a
window sill upstairs and then
saw her no more.
Wasser said the father was
awakened by the flames about
3 a.m. and had gone to a
nearby home to turn in the
alarm. When he returned he
was unable to get back into
the house because of the in
tense heat.
The father, an assistant
foreman for the highway de
partment, was under sedation
at a hospital.
Wasser said cause of the
blaze was not known. A wood
stove was used to heat the
house but he said he did not
know if the fire started from
the stove. He said the entire
house was in flames when
the fire department arrived.
The family moved here
about two or three months
ago.

State's Witnesses
Fail To Appeal;
Charge Dismissed
A charge of rape against
16 -year -old Winnifred Lee
Quails, Ashland, were dis
missed this morning by Cir
cuit Judge James Main on
motion by District Attorney
Thomas J. Reeder.
Witnesses against Quails
failed to appear this morning.
Judge Main remanded the
youth to the custody of the
sheriff to await further juve
nile proceedings. William V.
Deatherage, Quail's attorney,
advised the court that Quails'
older .married-brother in Calfc.
fornia wishes to take charge
of the youth.
Quails was sent to MacLar
en School for Boys on Aug.
19, but was returned to Jack
son county on Oct. 22 on or
der of the state board of con
trol. MacLaren authorities
had informed the board that
the youth is "incorrigible"
and should be returned to
Jackson county to stand trial
as an adult. Both circuit court
judges, Main and Edward C.
Kelly, protested the board's
action.
Moved
The district attorney told
the court that the rape victim
and her mother have moved
to San Diego, Calif.
"They were aware the trial
date was set for today and
did not give any notice to this
office or to the city police of
Ashland where they lived,"
Reeder said. "It appears to ie
they deliberately moved to
avoid testifying in the trial.
Perhaps the state has not been
told the entire truth of the
matter. In that case, the state
has no alternative but to ask
dismissal of the charge."
"The state must assume
from the witnesses' conduct
that the defendant is not
guilty of the charge," Reeder
added.
Reeder said he had made
every effort to contact the
witnesses, but had received no
reply from a special delivery
airmail letter sent about Jan.
8 to San Diego. The district
attorney's office contacted
the Ashland police Jan. 7 to
make arrangements to have
the witnesses brought here.
Ashland police learned on
Jan. 8 through the Jackson
county welfare department
that the mother had applied
for transfer of welfare records
to California and the police
notified the district attorney.

rural and suburban areas
Bacon conferred last
Fri-
day with the state librarian
in Salem on the grant-in-aid
as well as other planned li
brary improvements.
The grant, Bacon s an
nouncement said, is in recog
nition of a serious need for
books in the public library
system.' It. added that the
state library assumes that
every effort will be made to
increase local budgets for li
brary support.
The local library, accord
ing to the statement, will be
responsible for seeing that
branch libraries are open
more hours each week to give
the public access to the many
new books and services.
It was pointed out that the
local library, when compared
to other libraries throughout
the state, has a shortage of
books per capita. It has only
43,000, thus falling far short
of the American Library as

that all persons should have
a minimum of 100,000 vol

Spending Geared
To Biggest Tax
Year in History
Boom Year Seen
For Business, Income
Washington-flJPD - President
Eisenhower submitted to an
election-year Congress today
a budget envisaging a $4.2
billion surplus, but Republic
ans as well as Democrats were
skeptical that it could be
achieved.
The President's "pay our
own way" budget for fiscal
1961 set for a $79,816,000,000
spending program geared to
the biggest tax collection year
in history to build the fattest
surplus in 13 years.
He ruled out a general tax
cut this year, but left the
door open for a cut later
possibly in 1961. He called for
boosting revenues by increas
ing postal rates and gasoline
taxes, and a crackdown on tax
cheats.
Other Budget
Stories on Page 2
The President's message
spelled out the spending is
sue this way:
-A boom year for business
and personal income. -
-No tax cut this year, but
a $4,184,000,000 surplus he
hoped could pave the way for
tax relief later possibly in
1961.
-A crackdown on tax
cheats.
-A new half-cent a gallon
boost in gasoline taxes.
-New postal rate increases,
including a five-cent letter
and an eight-cent airmail
stamp.
-Doubled space spending
with a hope of rocketing the
first American into space in
1961.

Proposes Welfare Cuts
In the teeth of a Democra
tic Congress in an election
year mood to expand pro
grams, Eisenhower proposed,
whittling a number of federal
social welfare activities.
Biggest single spending item
is defense $41 billion.
The national objective
"peace with justice for all
peoples."
Uncle Sam's total tax take
next year is expected to soar
to an all-time high of $102,-
178,000,000 or one fifth of
the estimated gross national
product of $510,000,000,000,
also a record.
Eisenhower based his rev
enue estimates on the expecta
tion that Congress will con
tinue all present taxes and
raise federal levies and fees
for items ranging from postal
service to patents to the tune
of $693,700,000 a year.
The President, in a message
spiked with implied criticism
of Congress, challenged the
lawmakers to "join with me
in a determined effort to
achieve a substantial sur
plus."
His foreign aid budget was
little changed: from an esti
mated $3,350,000,000 this year
to $3,450,000,000 next. The
new outlays would consist of
$970,000,000 in economic as
sistance, $730,000,000 for de
fense support, and $1,750,000,
000 in outright military aid.
Eisenhower reported that
federal farm programs again
will have a heavy impact on
the budget, climbing from $5,
100,000,000 this year to $5,
600,000,000 in 1961.
