Mm Redevelopment Bill Approved; Defies President Washington -(ITD-The House h defied President Eisen hower's warning against big pending by approving a pro gram nearly live times larger than be recommended to help areas with chronic unemploy. ment. The so-called $251 million area redevelopment bill was passed 201-184, Wednesday night at a 10-hour House ses sion., longest of the year. Op ponents threw the parliament ary rule book at the bill in their effort to bluck It. Rep. Daniel J. Flood ID- Pa.), who helped engineer House passage, called on the Senate today to endorse the bill "to show the President this Is a congressional expres sion of opinion two sessions in a row." The President vetoed a sim ilar proposal in 1958 as too expensive. House Republican Leader Charles R- Halleck (Ind.) said the present bill probably was headed for the same fate. The Senate now has the op tion of taking the House ver sion or requesting a confer ence committee to seek a com promise. The House acted under a rarely used rule Wednesday night to put over the bill-just one day after receiving a mes sage from the President citing the measure as an election year "temptation to over supend and overreach." The bill proposes a program ot federal loans and grants to create jobs in areas with long term unemployment. It has strong support in the econom ically depressed mining com munities of West Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.

Lack of Oxygen Possibly Caused Pilot To Drift Washington-fUPD-The State Department said today that an American plane may have drifted across the Russian border last Sunday as a re sult of the pilot becoming un conscious from lack of oxy gen. The department said this may be the missing American plane which Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev said So viet forces shot down Sunday Having Difficulty Department Press Officer Lincoln While said the civil ian pilot of a National Aero nautics and Space Administra tion high level weather recon- nassunce plane operating in the Lake Van area reported that he was having "difficulty with his oxygen equipment." "It may be that this was the missing plane," White said. "It is entirely possible that having a failure in the oxygen equipment which could result in the pilot losing consciousness, the plane con tinued on automatic pilot for a considerable distance and accidnntly violated Soviet air space." Ask for Information White said the United States is asking the Sovient govern ment about the plane inci dent, "with particular refer ence to the fate of the pilot." White said U. S. Ambas sador Llewellyn E. Thomp son was making the approach to the Russians and that It was more in the nature of of an "Inquiry" than a pro test at this stage. President Eisenhower was informed of Khrushchev's speech during a National Se curity Council meeting held outside Washington this morn ing at a secret location as part of a civil defense exercise, Figure in Doli aerations The President returned to the White House by helicop ter. Obviously, the Khrushchev announcement and the Rus sian leaders expression 01 "little hope" for the success of the May 18 Paris summit meeting figured prominently in the Security Council delib erations. Vice President Richard M. Nixon, who clashed with Khrushchev In their tamed kitchen debate" In Moscow last July, said the Soviet Pre mier's tough speech "is not unexpected." Khrushchev's announcement that Russia had shot down an American plane brought chal lenging questions for both Khrushchev and the Elsen hower administration from congressional Democrats. Prospects Said Grim Senate Democratic Whip Mike Mansfield (Mont.) told the Senate that if the Rus sians are going to "shoot first and complain later, then in deed the prospects for the coming summit are grim." But Mansfield also said the administration needs to ex plain what the American plane was "doing so close to the Soviet border at a time like this If it was American." i Chairman Styles Bridges ; (N.

Humphrey and John F. Kennedy left it to West Virginia voters today to judge who won their gentle debate. Their soft exchanges were expected to sway few votes tn either direction in this state's Democratic pres idential primary next Tues day. After Wednesday night's hour-long appearance before television cameras, both Dem ocratic presidential contend ers were back on the road today. Kennedy was sched uled to spend the day in the Beckley coal mining territory and the Charleston area while Humphrey was in the north ern part of the state touring the Wheeling area of the steelmaking panhandle.

There were no fireworks. To a question about the religious issue in politics, both reiterated their views that a candidate's religion should not be a factor. Ken nedy, a Roman Catholic, said he was confident that West Virginia voters should heed the constitutional provision that there must be no religious test for public office. Kennedy's vote in this overwhelmingly Prote s t a n t state, however, will provide major test of whether religi ous bias still is a factor in the choice of a president. The candidates found them selves in substantial agree ment on almost every issue raised except whether Hum phrey has a chance to win the presidential nomination. Humphrey said he did and Kennedy made it clear that he disagreed. Each made a short opening statement and a rebuttal and then answered questions screened by the Charleston Gazette from its readers. There was no studio audience to give hurrahs or bronx cheers. ' Argument Arises The argument about Hum phrey as a serious contender came when the Minnesota senator was asked if he thought he had any chance of winning the nomination even if he won the West Vir gina primary. Humphrey re plied emphatically that he had that chance and that no candi date had the nomination sew ed up. The front-running Kennedy, who is in trouble in West Virginia, commented that sup porters of other Democratic presidential possibilities were backing Humphrey in this state. Hence, he said, it must be the judgment of those oth er possible contenders that Humphrey was not a major candidate. Humphrey retored that he, too, was the victim of a "gang- 3lP If RrtnTcTrETcTD7res " '11.- - f 1 111 JRV St I between the two Democratic candidates. Kennedy won the the hour-long televised debate.

Favor Closing Loopholes Kennedy and Humphrey took divergent lines on tax reduction. Humphrey said he favored increasing the present annual $600 personal income tax exemption to $800 a year and offsetting the revenue loss by closing tax loopholes. Ken nedy said he also favored clos ing loopholes but that Con gress had not agreed so far. Meanwhile, he said, he could not advocate new federal pro grams for indigent iid and defense and promise income tax cuts at the same time.

Jackson Medford Shopping Center All ArsilabL 1st Klamsth lli, tugsne, Salem, Pjrtlind Russian Shakeup Viewed as Step for Tightening Control Washington - It'PC - U.S. of ficials today viewed the pro motion of Frol Koslov in the Soviet hierarchy as a step to ward making him Premier Ni kita S. Khrushchev's eventual successor. Koslov. who has been first deputy premier, would be in an excellent position as secre tary of the Communist Party's Central Committee to succeed Khrushchev should the pre mier die or have to retire for any reason. American officials said Khrushchev might have plac ed Koslov in the key commit tee post to keep a firm hand on other members of the So viet secretariat. Khrushchev is known to have complete trust in Koslov. Seeks Tighter Control The U.S. officials said the Soviet shake-up appeared to be another effort by Khru shchev to tighten his control of the government and inject more vigor into the party lead ership. It was noted that the changes in the Kremlin high command came at a time when Khrushchev's position has deteriorated somewhat within the Soviet Union. U.S. officials emphasized that there is no real threat to Khrushchev's leadership. But they said he must be unhappy about a growing split between the people and the Commu nist Party. Unlike the days of terror under Stalin, the Soviet popu lace does not appear to be paying any great attention now to official Communist propaganda. Khrushchev's room for maneuvering in the interna tional field also has been nar rowed to a degree and this is believed to have affected his domestic position to some ex tent. He is under Increasing pres V i pr. i .uu Mon. -'?r-; -;;a"j A lllr SI' 1 Ml aoi.a.iii sure from the uninese iteas and East European satellites to do something about the Berlin and German issues. But he has moved in the other direction by promoting relax ation of tensions with the West. American officials inter preted the new shake-up as indicating Khrushchev's de sire to keep closer tabs on the key points in the Soviet sys tem as he prepares for the May 16 summit conference and President Elsenhower's visit to Russia next month.
