British Naval Expert Testifies On Hidden Radio London-fUPD-A British naval communications expert testi fied today that a radio hidden under th kitchen of a "house of secrets" could transmit "to Moscow and beyond", at the rate of 240 words a minute James John Adams, 32 years in the Royal Navy, was called by crown attorneys In Britain's biggest spy case since scientist Klaus Fuchs was convicted In 1950 of pass ing atomic secrets to Russia. The prosecution was trying to convince a jury of 12 men in the historic No. 1 court of the Old Bailey that shabby cottage in suburban Ruislip was the communications cen ter and banking headquarters of a spy ring that stole im portant information from the Portland Naval Base and re layed it to Russia. Automatic Keying Unit Adams said the radio was not a British manufacture and neither were any of its com ponents. He judged that some of the parts could have been made In the United States or Japan. It had an aerial more than 15 yards long, the wit ness said, and an automatic keying unit that made pos sible transmission at the rate of 240 words a minute In Morse. "It was powerful enough and capable of transmitting to and from Moscow?" the pros ecution asked. 'Yes," Adams replied, "and even beyond." , Equal Minimum Education for Oregon Children Outlined in Pair of Plans . Most domestic longer than dogs. Salem - (UPD - The Senate Education committee heard two plans Tuesday to solve the problem of giving Oregon children an equal minimum education while avoiding backbreaking burdens of tax payers in poorer districts. Aim of both new school fund distribution plans is to equalize local school levies by providing more state money and giving a bigger propor tionate share to the poorer areas. John Hounsell of the In terim Education committee said this should be done at the state level, giving the most money to the counties least able to pay for their schools. This would let those counties reduce local taxes. Rep. Carrol Howe (R-Klam- ath Falls) said the equaliza tion should be handled at the county level, with the coun ties apportioning out flat state grants to' poorer and richer districts within the county. The Howe plan, SB 480, would avoid the rub in the Interim committee equalized Honest Man Gets Appearance Offers Los Angelcs-IUPD - Douglas William Johnson, 50, busy considering offers to make personal appearances, said to day he will announce Monday whether he will accept a re ward for returning $240,000 he found in a street. The unemployed janitor re fused to reveal precisely what was delaying his decision on whether to accept Brink's armored car firm's offer of a steady $90-a-week job as a guard and a scholarship for his son, Richard, 18. "I have something I'm con sidering," Johnson said. But he declined to say what it was. He did admit that he had no other -job offers, however. Ho has received a number of offers to make appearances on radio and television. Education Aid Plans Discussed Washington (UPD Presi dent Kennedy's proposals to aid education today held the attention of three congression al subcommittees. . Health, Education and Wel fare Secretary Abraham Ribi coff was scheduled to begin testimony before one House subcommittee on the admin istration bill setting up a $1.6 billion loan and grant pro gram for colleges and needy students. The program would run for five years, making grants and long-term, low-interest loans to colleges and students. Col leges would use the money largely for construction. The scholarship program would provide from 25,000 to 50,000 separate grants of up to $1,000 a year to needy stu dents chosen by state authorities. Another House subcommit tee and a Senate subcommit tee continued hearings on Ken nedy's controversial plan to aid public elementary and sec ondary schools. Administra tion leaders are trying to fight off proposals to include pri vate schools in the bill.

PARKS, license 320 East Main Street Phone SP 3-5365 flat grant plan: An actual drop in state funds for wealthy counties like Gilliam, Sher man and Morrow. At present, 80 per cent of state funds are handed out on a flat per pupil basis. The re maining 20 per cent is used to equalize. Even so, Washing ton county, the poorest, must raise more from local taxes than five-times wealthier Gil liam county. Hounsell said under the in terim committee plan, SB 447, each county would be guar anteed 25 per cent of the costs of a basic school program. The remaining 75 'per cent would be distributed on the basis of each county's ability to pay. For the first time, funds from Oregon and California railroad grant lands, on which some counties thrive, would be counted in determining a county's wealth. Howe, whose Klamath coun ty is one of the richer ones, said he felt advocates of the Interim committee plan were aiming at eventual complete state support of schools. Aim of the present bill is to raise state support from 36 to 50 per cent by 1965. s. PATRICK'S f S5 217 E.
