development of the Israeli
economy.
Money for Planning
-He will ask Congress for
money to resume detailed
planning of Libby Dam in
Montana, the largest remain

would provide desperately
needed power for the North
west. -He voiced continued
American support of the roy
alist government of Laos

Truman's Statement at
Labor Meet Corrected
Washington lUI'D Former
President Truman told an
AFL-CIO gathering last week
that history indicates the na
tion's great presidents arc
followed by men of lesser
ability.
"Since I followed one of tho
great ones, I enn make that
statement," he added.
A United Press Internation
al story on the former presi
dent s statement incorrectly
quoted him as referring to
himself as one of the great
presidents.
NOW YOU KNOW,
United Press International
Blessing someone when
he sneeies derives from a
belief thai a person sneeies
his soul out of his body.
"God bless you" was intend
ed to prevent devils from
entering during the soul's
brief absence.
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.
Portland Family
Escapes in Crash
Red Bluff, Calif. - (UPD - A
Portland, Ore., family of five
escaped with minor injuries
Monday when a small plane
crashed into a field adjoining
the Red Bluff airport.
John S. Mears, president of
an electronics firm, said that
he lost control of the light air
craft when it got caught in
the prop-wash of an Air Force
radar picket plane.
Airport officials said Mears
suffered head and face cuts
and his wife had an injured
knee. Their three children
were treated for shock.
Mears said his family was
en route from Portland to a

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.
