William H Springer (ft-Ill.) served notice before the ub-committee completed its public hearinjis on payola Tue.d-y that he, for one. in tended to press for an investi gation into TV programming if the quality of shows isn't improved. People Said Concerned Springer said his mail in dicated the people back home were more concerned about this than they were about rigged quiz shows or payola - report which some other subcommittee memberi also have made. Rep. Peter F. Mack Jr. (D 111.), who complained about "trash" over the airways Tuesday while questioning ABC network President Leon ard H. Coldenson, echoed Springer's views in an inter view today.

"They have not dis played any willingness to im prove the type of program they carry " Mack said he felt it would be "worth the time and ef fort" fur the subcommittee staff to begin looking into the topic. By "trash," he said, he referred to rigged quiz shows, rock and roll programs and "shoot 'em up'' Westerns and crime programs. Asked whether the subcom mittee might open itself to charges of trying to exercise censorship. Mack said the fed eral communications commis sion has "hid behind the cur St V fft f .4 r .. is . a f r a to for W..-.V ., -- J7''.jHW It 1 TENANT WANTED -Huving trouble finding tenants?

"Con gress does have the power to regulate. None of us wants censorship in any furifi but we also want to place some limitation nn the type of pro gran, on TV and radio, espe cially TV. The public has be come quite Indignant." With its payola hearingg over, the subcommittee next will turn its attention to draft ing legislation to make payola a crime.

Twelve of those evacuated were reported to be expectant mothers who were taken through Ice clogged waters on stretchers. Warmth Breaks Ice The flooding began Tues day when unusually warm weather caused ice on central Alaska rivers to break up faster than usual. Nearly five feel of water and ice cakes flooded out low areas of Fair banks, causing extensive dam age. The river early this morn ing wns reported rising at the rate of two inches per hour. More than two feet of water covered a state highway lead ing into Fairbanks. Most of the persons evacu ated lived in outlying areas of Fairbanks. Tuesday, ice jams on both the Chena river at Fairbanks and the Tanana river at Nen ana, Alaska, created danger ous conditions. However, the waters began receding early in the evening but started ris ing as the night wore on. Boat Sunk Huge chunks of ice ripped several small pleasure boats from their moorings at Fair banks and 40-foot river boat was sunk. At Nenana, the flooding Tanana river forced the evac uation of many residents whose homes had been isolat ed by the water. Army engineers rroin Ladd Air Force Base near Fair banks blasted for more than six hours Tuesday in an un successful effort to break the Jam on the Chena. The water surged through several trailer courts and In undated a municipal parking lot, on which 30 automobiles had been left, at Fairbanks.

The emotional scene came Tuesday as Superior Judge Allen Miller delayed render ing a decision on whether Beverly should be made a ward of Juvenile Court. He set May 11 to announce his decison. Wi39lad Avar Mrs. Florence Adland, 53, attempted to embrace her slim daughter during the court session but Beverly wig gled away from her, crying: "I don't ever want to see you. Leave me alone." Mrs. Adland had to be re strained In her grief and led from the courtroom. "She didn t want to see me," she sobbed. Later she added, "They'va brainwashed her." To Study Recording Miller granted the delay to permit Mrs. Adland and her attorney time to study a tape recording held by the dislfloi attorney's office in which she purportedly details romances- for-puy by Beverly. Mrs. Adland was arrested and ordered held for trial May 12 on the basia of the re cording. She is accused of contribut ing to Beverly's delinquency by allegedly allowing the teen-ager to make love to an adult mule and drink intoxi cants. Success of Local Drive Is Noted The success of the local Mental Health campaign will largely depend on the door-to-door Bell Ringers march Mon day night. May 9, Mrs. John Dickson, Medford chairman, : said today. j "A successful Mental Health ; campaign will assure adequate i financing for research, educa-1 tion and service program of the Mental Health Association of Oregon," she said. Nearly half of Oregon's hos pital beds are occupied by the mentally ill, and at least one person in every 10 in this country is suffering from some form of mental illness needing treatment. More than 300,000 pieces of literature were distributed to schools and Interested groups and individuals in Oregon last 1 year. The booklet "Mental Illness A Guide to the Fam ily" helped families of those receiving treatment in Oregon menial hospitals. Other association protects include films, which were viewed by 12,500: Operation Friendship encouraging visits to mental hospitals: Christmas gifts, ward adoption plan, pa tient loan fund and a Friend ship club. A growing number of men tal health workshops for min isters, pre-s c h o o 1 teachers, business executives, club lead ers and pliysicians are spon- i sored li the Mental Health Chief Executive Said Determined To Have Action Washington - (LTD - Presi dent Eisenhower backed up I Ins renewed legislative de ! munds today with a threat to I call Congress into special ses I sion after the national politi cal conventions unless he gets the action he wants. Republican lawmakers who quoted Eisenhower on this ef-ft-t differed on whether the warning applied only to his foreign aid program or to oth er measures as well: Directed ai Whola Program Rep. Frank J. Becker (R N.Y.) said that the President raised the special session pos sibility at a White House breakfast with 17 members of "the 83rd club" - Republican congressmen who began their House service in 1953. Becker said the President directed his comments to the whole of the legislative pro gram he outlined to Congress in a special message Tuesday. He said an adequate foreign aid appropriation was one of the things the President laid he must have. Similar Threats Common Several other GOP law makers said the President's talk of a possible post-July special session was directed specifically to his request for $4,175,000,000 in new foreign aid funds for the year starting July I. Presidential talk about spe cial sessions is not uncommon about this time of the year, when Congress gets within sight of its adjournment date with a lot of business not yet done. However, nothing usually comes of these threats. Appeared in Earnest Becker, however, said the President appeared in dead earnest this time-even though others said Eisenhower raised the possibility only in an off hand manner. Chances appeared dim that the President would get what he wants from Congress this year despite his new efforts to prod the legislators into ac tion. - Fire Trucks in IV Moved to New Hall Cave Junction Fire trucks were moved to the new fire house recently since the hall is complete except for a small amount of painting. The firemen's club room also needs a refrigerator and heating stove, both of which are expected to be donated. The site was donated by Cave Junction Police Chief Phil Kellar. Leveling of the ground around the building was done by Robert Martin. Welders were Schuyler Southwell, Inc., of Milwaukie cement pouring was by Clyde Knight's firm; plumbing was done by Jack Williams and wiring was contracted to Dave Wilson. Total retail sales in 1959 are estimated to have reached a total of $215.6 billion - 7 to 8 per cent above the 1958 figure. Retailers believe in the power of newspaper ad vertising. Over the past sev eral years they, together with other local advertisers, invest ed over $2 billion a year for ads in their daily newspapers.
