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.

attached, except that each
state would have to "maintain
its own effort or contribution"
and to allot more money for
education if its share falls be
low the national average.
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

below-par sections.

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. Mrs. Neuber
ger's office recalled that an

Service put the cost at $2 to

If zoning bylaws are adopt
