Y. The turbine driven truck, 53 feet long and weighing 16 tons, climbed this mile-long grade in 56 seconds from a standing start, reaching a speed of 50 miles an hour. The streamlined red apparatus was engineered and built to special design requirements by the American LaFrance, a division of Sterling Precision Corp. It is powered by a Boeing 330-horsepower gas turbine engine which weighs 325 pounds, one-tenth the weight of conventional power plants. (UPI Telephoto) program. Sen. Wayne Morse may play a key role in press ing for congressional action on one of the five poi.its in the immediate Kennedy program - a bill to raise the minimum wage to $1.25. Sen. Maurine Neuberger is on the committee and the list of sponsors of the area redevelopment bill which Kennedy also is urging and which the Senate Banking Committee is working on. Kicked Up Fuss Morse kicked up a mild fuss about Kennedy's choice of John Connally, a Texas oil man, to be Navy secretary. But otherwise he has had only charitable compliments for the Kennedy administration and program thus far. In fact, he said he favored every one of the specific proposals Ken nedy advanced in his state of the Union message. The Senate in recent years has demonstrated that it is the more liberal body of Congress, always passing with greater ease various economic and welfare bills advanced by the liberal Democrats from aid to education to housing. Oregon will give Kennedy two Senate votes and no dissent in this field. The House is where the conservatives in both parties are stronger and more likely to block or modify features of the Kennedy program. Speak er Sam Rayburn has won his fight to liberalize the Rules Committee, but the vote of 217 to 212 indicates he and Kennedy will have little breathing room when the House votes on the President's program in the form of sepa rate bills. Sympathies Indicated Oregon's delegation sym bolizes this narrow division. By their votes and spoken words, the states four con gressmen have indicated where their sympathies lie.

Al Ullman of Baker, the two Democrats, are stout Kennedy supporters. Rep Walter Norblad of Stayton and Rep. Edwin Durno of Medford, the Republicans voted against liberalizing the Hules Committee. Neither Norblad nor Durno is saying how he will vote when the various bills reach the House floor, but they are expressing little eagerness for the economic and welfare pro posals that appear to be ahead, Norblad thought the Ken nedy state of the Union mes sage contained too much "gloom and doom." Obvious ly, Norblad doesn't believe the slate of the national econ omy is as serious as the Presi dent does. Durno shook -his head over Kennedy's domestic program because he doesn't know where the money will come from to finance more federal assistance efforts. May Be Neutralized Unless there is some chance in their outlook in the weeks ahead, the prospect is that Oregon's votes in the critical House votes will be neutral ized, the Republicans and the Democrats cancelling one another out. This means, of course, that Oregon's influence on national affairs in the next two years will be more conservative than it has been the past four years, during which Norblad was the sole Republican in the state's delegation in Con gress. This, in terms of the nation al political struggle ahead, is the most significant result of the victory last fall of Con gressman Durno over Charles O. Porter, the liberal Demo crat from Eugene. Group To Check Research Findings The Jackson county com mittee on the early detection and prevention of juvenile de linquency held its first meet ing Thursday night and rip- eided to investigate completed research findings from as many sources as possible as its first step.

The next meeting will bo held on Feb. 23. Committee Chair man is Robert Lawrence, Ashland Lincoln school principal. Leaflets Ask Cuban Students To Strike Havana, Cuba - ll'Pli - An anti-Castro plane flew low over downtown Havana Fri day night and dropped leaflets calling for a Cuban students' strike "against the tyranny which oppresses us." Militiamen on top of the presidential palace opened fire on the twin-engine Cessna that swooped down on the capital and dumped thousands of leaflets. The plane which also was fired upon from La CalO.ia prison fortress, managed to Three amed Detroit- tUPD -Three of the five major U.S. Auto com panies named new presidents during 1960 and two of the newcomers held the jobs for two months or less. William C. Newberg suc ceeded L. L. Colbert as pres ident of Chrysler Corp. in late April and was deposed two months later because of his holdings in two outside supplier firms.
