Wreckage of
U.S. Navy Plane
Believed Sighted
Second Turkish Air
Crash Fatal To 42
Ankara, Turkey - (UPD -
Wreckage believed to be that
of a missing U.S. Navy plane
with 16 persons aboard was
sighted today in the snow
decked Taurus Mountains of
Turkey.
The sighting was reported
by the Coordinated Rescue
Center on Nicosia, Cyprus
There was no immediate re
port on either signs of life
or bodies near the wreckage.
In Mountain Valley
The crash site was in a
high mountain valley, at about
8,000 feet altitude. Royal Air
Force and American mountain
rescue teams headed for it
immediately.
The missing plane, a Martin
Mercator twin-engined patrol
craft, was on a flight from
Naples, Italy, to Adana, Tur
key. If the wreckage is that of
the missing plane, it will
mean two major plane crash
es occurred in Turkey Tues
day night with the possible
loss of 58 lives.
Third Air Disaster
A Scandinavian Airlines
Caravelle jet crashed at An
kara airport in a fog, killing
42 persons, including an
American. Officials were re
ported checking the possibil
ity that the Turkish control
tower and the plane crew
made twin errors to cause the
crash.
Crash of the Navy plane
would be the third disaster in
two days, bringing the toll
to a possible 108 lives. Fifty
persons were killed Monday
night in the crash of a Cap
ital Airlines prop-jet Viscount
near Holdcroft, Va.
Wing Snagged
The twin-jet SAS Caravelle,
banking for a gentle, curving
approach to Esenboga airport,
snagged its right wing on a
low hill within sight of the
airport and exploded on im
pact with such force the
clothes were ripped from the
victims. The plane caught fire
immediately.
Some officials said the
crash may have been caused
by a navigation error abord
the plane. There may also
have been faulty control tow
er instructions, they said.

Dke Urges
Economic Report
Carries Appeal
To Hold Line
Unprecedented
Prosperity Seen
Washington -(UPD- President
Eisenhower, rallying the na
tion to a new battle against
inflation, today urged some
industries to cut prices and
labor to keep wages in line.
The President did not speci
fy what industries, but a
White House source said he
had steel and autos in mind.
He sounded the anti-inflation
battle cry in a generally
optimistic annual economic
report to Congress.
Combined Effort Needed
Eisenhower foresaw a de
cade of unprecedented pros
perity. But he cautioned that
it could be achieved only
through the combined efforts
of businessmen, labor, con
sumers, and government at
all levels.
In a direct appeal for some
price cuts, he told industry
that "price reductions war
ranted by especially rapid
productivity gains must be a
normal and frequent feature
of our economy."
Steel and Autos
And he told labor that
wage increases should remain
"within the limits of general
productivity gains."
A White House source, dis
cussing the President's price
cut appeal, said Eisenhower
specifically had steel and
autos in mind.
The battle against inflation
and emphasis that it is not
government's war alone high
lighted the Chief Executive's
annual economic report, a
massive document prepared
with the help of the Council
of Economic Advisers.
Eisenhower said that "there
are good grounds for confi
dence'" that the nation? eco
nomic advance of 1959 can be
extended through 1960 and,
with appropriate action, well
beyond the present year."
Consumer Responsibility
"Government policies must
be supplemented by appro
priate private actions, espec
ially with respect to profits
and wages," he said. "In our
system of free competitive
enterprise and shared respon
sibility, we do not rely on
government alone for the
achievement of inflation-free
economic growth."
The President said the
American consumer would
have to be just as responsible
as industry and labor for
keeping the nation on the road
to higher economic standards.
He called on the consumer to
be alert and opposed to arbi
trary attempts "to establish
prices or wages at levels that
are inconsistent with the gen
eral welfare."
No Flu Epidemic
Reported in State
Portland -(UPD - The State
Board of Health reported to
day that influenza cases have
increased slightly but there is
no indication yet of an epi
demic. A total of 810 flu cases was

De Gaulle Calls
Algerian Head
For Showdown
General Accused
Of Harsh Criticism
Paris (UPD- Paratroope Gen
Jacques Massu issued a care
fully worded communique to
day pledging his loyalty to the
chief of the French army in
Algeria but not directly to
President Charles de Gaulle.
An angry de Gaulle abrupt
ly summoned the major gen
eral to Paris Tuesday night
for a showdown on whether
the paratroops' hero was plot
ting an army-backed anti-de
Gaulle uprising in Algiers.
Massu was accused of harsh
criticism of de Gaulle at a
moment when unrest in Al
geria was increasing every
hour, both among the army
and the right - wing French
settlers who fear a de Gaulle
"sellout."
Led 1958 Revolt
It was Massu, 51, the lean
and hawk-faced head of army
and civilian affairs in Algiers
that led the May 13, 1958, re
volt which swept away the
Fourth French Republic and
brought de Gaulle to power.
He was quoted this week by
a German newspaper as say
ing the army was wondering
if it had made a mistake in
backing de Gaulle, hinting at
the use of force and accusing
him of becoming a leftist.
Later he denied making the
statements.
Today ' after a long confer
ence between ' Massu- and
Armed -Forces Minister Pierre
Guillaumat, Massau again de
nied the story and affirmed
his loyalty to the Algerian
commander - in - chief, Gen.
Andre Challe.

Issue To Go
Before Voters
In May Primary
Court Acts on
Chapman Test Case
Salem (UPD The State Su
preme Court ruled today that
a legislative pay hike ap
proved by the 1959 Legisla
ture is unconstitutional.
The act would have in
creased salaries of legislators
from S600 a year to S2.100.
State Sen. R. F. Chapman
(D-Coos Bay) filed the test
case naming Secretary of
State Howell Appling Jr. de
fendant. Appling had refused
to put the increase through.
To Go To Voters
The high court said: "Where
a state constitution in plain
unambiguous language fixes
the compensation of a state
officer whether it can be a
member of the Legislature or
of the executive or judicial
departments of the govern
ment, the effect is to divest
the Legislature of power to
determine that the compensa
tion shall be something dif
ferent unless there are other
provisions of the constitution
from which a contrary inten
tion can be drawn."
The issue will still go be
fore the voters in the May
primary. Along with passing
the bill for the raise, the Leg
islature provided for a test at
the polls.
Right To Consider
The opinion, written by
Justice Hall S. Lusk, conclud
ed that the people in adopt
ing a 1950 amendment had
the right to consider and
must have considered that
they were exercising and not
surrendering their accus
tomed and frequently in
voked power to fix the com
pensation of members of the
Legislative Assembly.
Chapman had argued that
when the 1950 amendments
was adopted, the words "not
exceeding with reference to
compensation were omitted
and claimed that this intro
duced an ambiguity. The
court noted that the argument
in support of the amendment
in a Voters' Pamphlet con
tained a. statement reading:
"The constitution of Oregon
has justly reserved unto the
people the right to set the
compensation of members of
the legislative assembly."
Among Lowest Paid
The opinion said It is ap
parent that the Legislative
Assembly by seeking in 1954
the power to fix the compen
sation of its members by sub
mitting to the people in 1955,
1956 and 1959 a constitu
tional amendment increasing
their compensation and by
the quoted statement in the
Voters' Pamphlet has placed
upon the 1950 amendment a
construction contrary to
which the relator rfow urges."
Oregon legislators are
among the lowest paid in the
nation.
