YO0R quality BUICK DEALER INMEDFORD -Jig the only persons aboard Texas Department of Public Safety agents radioed from the scene today that they had found the wreckage and the two dead pilots: Harold Tcague and Charles Williams. Weather Too Bad The plane, which Johnson used for business trips, crash ed Sunday night, shortly after it had radioed that the weath er was too bad for it to land at Johnson's private airport and that it was turning back to Austin, 65 miles away Teague and Williams were ferrying the plane from Aus tin to the ranch. There is one lighted runway at the ranch. There are instrument landing facilities at Austin. The vice president was at the ranch. An aide reported he was up all night, telephon ing his friends on adjoining ranches to find out whether they knew anything about the missing plane. Ownership Debated A question arose today as to how much of the plane Johnson owns. Luther C. Ber ry, a San Antonio insurance man, said he insured the plane for $250,000 with Insurance Company of North America, but he declined to say who the owner is. ' ' The San Antonio News said the plane was owned by John son and a group of political supporters, but did not name the supporters. . Berry said American Airlines originally owned the plane, but sold it to an oilman who later sold It for Johnson's use.

Federal funds could go to racially segregated schools under the bill's provisions, if slates so choose, officials said. But the money could not go to any "private" schools estab lished to get around court- ordered desegregation. , "The school construction- teachers' pay program would "assure every state of no less than $15 for every public school student in average daily attendance." The nation wide total would be $666 mil lion in the 1962 fiscal year starting next July 1; $766 mil lion- in the 1963 fiscal, year and $866 million in the follow-. ing year. Funds would be distributed under an "equalization formu la" by which a state's average income per pupil is measured against the national average of $11,728. Those below the national average would get more funds than those above it, subject to a floor of $15 per dudiI. Ten per cent of the funds allotted to each state in the first year - and an equal amount thereafter - would be used "to help meet the unique problems of each state's 'areas of special educational need1 These would include problems oi students in depressed areas slum neighborhoods and other below-par sections. ivenneay sata that "our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education" because "the human mind is oxir funda mental resource." lhe President said steps must be taken to raise teach ers' salaries and build a total of 600,000 classrooms in the next 10 years, as well as to give special aid to "under privileged children" who at tend schools in depressed areas and slum sections.

BARKER'S will be closed until Wednesday ' Oregon Dunes Limitations Placed on Power To Acquire Lands for National Seashore Development (continued from Page I) There are several limita tions on this power to acquire lands. The first is that no im proved property could be ac quired during the first year after enactment of the bill. The bill then contains this lan guage: "Thereafter such authority shall be suspended with re spect to all improved proper ty in any county in which the seashore is situated during all times when such county shall have in force and applicable to such property a duly adopt ed, valid zoning bylaw ap proved by the secretary in accordance with the provis ions of section 5" which des cribe the function of the ad visory board of local resi dents. Shal Suspend Authority "The secretary's authority to acquire property shall be suspended for property used for commercial or industrial purposes during any period when such use is permitted by the secretary and during the pendency of the first applica tion for such permission made to the secretary if such appli cation is made before the sea shore is declared established." The term " improved prop erty" is defined as a detach ed, one-family dwelling whose construction was started be fore the first of this year, to gether with the land on which it is situated. At least three acres of the land could not be taken by the government, but the government could ac quire any beach or waters and adjacent shore land to provide public access. The zoning bylaw, to meet with federal approval, "shall be designed to: 1. Prohibit the commercial and industrial use, other than that which may be permitted by the secretary of all prop- etry within the boundaries of the seashore of participating counties. 2. By m e a n s of acreage, frontage, setback require ments, public notices of zon ing, variances and exceptions and other necessary provi sions promoting in the sea shore the purpose of the act." May Grant Exceptions Exceptions or variance to the zoning code may be grant ed by the secretary. Once a property owner qualifies, he can request a certificate from the Interior Department stip ulating that the secretary's authority to acquire property within the park boundaries "has been suspended" with respect to that property. In the event that zoning codes are not Invoked, any owner of improved property could retain the right of use and occupancy of the proper ty for noncommercial residen tial purposes for 25 years, or for the rest of the lives of the owners or until all their sur viving children have reached 21 years of age. In such cases, the government would pay the owner the fair market value of the property when it is ac quired; and the occupant could sub-lease the dwelling, but he would not have to pay the government any rent for staying on. ' The bill also prescribes that payments in lieu of taxes shall be paid to the counties or oth er local taxing bodies to com pensate for any loss of taxable real estate. Private property covered by zoning bylaws would remain on the tax rolls. Water Withdrawal Allowed Withdrawal of ground wa ter from the dunes and surface water from the lakes would also be permitted, if it didn't impair . the scenic seashore park. Mrs. Neuberger's office said she made a number of revi sions in the bill to accommo date the expressed suggestions of Gov. Mark Hatfield, nota bly the language protecting the International Paper com pany's authority to pipe efflu ent to the sea through park land. . She said she would be glad to have co-sponsors from the Oregon congressional delega- iton, but she did not enlist their support in advance of in troducing her bill. Estimated 35,000 Acres The park would embrace an estimated 35.000 acres. The boundaries are similar to those set forth In earlier bills. Excluded from the park would be a tree farm operated by Crown-Zellerbach near Tali kenitch lake, unless the land was no longer used for sustained-yield timber manage ment. In that event, it could be acquired as an addition to the park. Siltcoos and Woahink lakes Bill would be included in the park. ' . No cost estimate was avail able, for the price of property acquisition would depend upon whether or not zoning codes are set up.
