FIRE FIGHTER'S ANSWER - The world's
first turbine-powered aerial ladder truck
the fire fighter's answer to the jet age -demonstrates
its power on a steep grade in
the foothills of the Alleghenies near El
mira, N. 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.

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.

Rep. Edith Green of Portland
and Rep. 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.
Ihe committee will also col
lect information from local
agencies, and personnel deal
ing with youth problems.
From this information the
group hopes to be able to
formulate and recommend
some plan of action which
would be valuable and prac
tical for the Jackson county
area or state.
Since committee members
came from many organiza
tions, further discussions cov
ered a wide variety of prob
lems concerning juvenile de
linquency, its causes and
methods of prevention. 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.
Colbert assumed the dual
responsibility of board chair
man and president after the
Newberg ouster. .
Joined Cabinet
Robert S. McNamara was
the second short-term presi
dent of 1960. He was named
president of Ford Motor Co.
in November and accepted
appointment as Secretary of
Defense in the cabinet of
President John F. Kennedy
in December.
McNamara sold all his stock
in Ford to avoid any possible
conflict of interest and re
signed his auto post effective
Jan. 1.
Ford, like Chrysler, return
ed to a common board chairman-president.
ajor Auto Companies
ew Heads During '
Henry Ford II was elevated
to chairman of the board in
July, 1960, with the resigna
tion of Ernest R. Breech from
that post, and held both the
board chairmanship and presi
dency from July to Novem
ber. He resumed the dual re
sponsibity upon McNamara's
departure,
Studebaker-Packard Corp.
named a new president in
the final week of 1960.
Sherwood H. Egbert, who
had been vice president of
McCulloch Corp., Los An
geles, was named to succeed
Harold E. Churchill at the
South Bend, Ind., auto firm.
Other Changes Frequent
Top-level changes were also
frequent in the automotive
divisions.
Lee A. Iacocca was named
vice president and general
manager of the Ford division
at the same time McNamara
took over as president of the
company. Iacocca succeeded
James O. Wright who became
group vice president in charge
of ear and truck divisions.
The Cadillac Motor Car. Di
vision of General Motors
Corp. also named a new gen
eral manager, Harold G.
Warner. He took over from
James M. Roche who became
vice president in charge of
GM's distribution staff.
Dodge division of Chrysler
also changed general man
agers during 1960. Matthew
C. Patterson retired and was
succeeded by Byron J. Nich
ols, Two Didn't Change
GM and American Motors
Corp. were the only U.S. auto
firms which didn't change
presidents during the past
year. John F. Gordon con
tinued as president of GM and
George Romney as president
of American Motors.
But GM had nine changes
at the vice president level,
including four new vice presi
dents, and American Motors
named three new vice presi
dents. Studebaker - Packard added
four new vice presidents to
its executive roster during the
year. Iacocca was the only
new vice president named by
Ford in 1960. And Chrysler,
despite its summer-long con-1 no new vice presidents dur-flict-of-interest
probe, added i ing the year.
