Newspaper Page TextMedford Tribune , .. a SECTION C MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1961 PAGES 1 to 12 Pursestring Fight Curbs Passage of Depressed Area Bill Washington 01PD A fight over control of the purse strings today held up final . congressional passage of President Kennedy's $394 - million program for creating . jobs in economically de pressed communities. The House on a 250-i67 I rollcall Wednesday approved t the administration's area de i velopment program despite protests from some Republi . cans that it would become a "gigantic boondoogle." The Senate passed it 15 days ago, 63-27. The only question still to be resolyed, was whether Con gress would keep a tight grip on the pursestrings. Under the House bill, no funds could be spent until appropriated by Congress in a subsequent money bill. The Senate meas ure would permit outlays of $300 million without further congressional action. Senate liberals vowed they would "stand fast" on this is sue, but all signs indicated the Senate ultimately would have to back down and accept the House-passed bill. Democratic leaders delib erately omitted the Senate's financing provision from the House bill to help minimize opposition from conservatives and ease passage of the legis lation. The House approval was particularly sweet for the ad ministration because it evened the score with the conservative coalition which defeated Kennedy's minimum wage bill by one vote last Fri day. The new program is aimed at re-vitalizing areas which for various reasons have been suffering from chronic un employment at rates higher than the national average. Salem Airplane Crash Cause Told Washington -U?D- The Civil Aeronautics Board said Wed nesday the crash of a light air plane at the Salem airport last October was caused by an ' unexpected change in the an gle of the propeller blade, causing a stall. Four persons, three from Oregon, were killed in the crash.' Thet plane, a Beechcraft 35 piloted by Wilbur E. Church, 56, Portland, had just taken off on a flight to Roseburg when the crash occurred. Also killed were Ray W. Smith and George W. Bagnall, both of Salem, and Robert E. Wicen, Malwaukee, Wis. Witnesses said the plane be gan a steep descending left turn, stalled about 100 feet from the ground and crashed. The board said it could not determine why the propeller blade moved from a normal angle of 30 degrees to about 15 degrees. It said impact and fire de stroyed the circuitry of the prop mechanism so it could not be checked. The board said the blade change was equivalent of a sudden power failure. FORMER SLAVE DIES Avonmore, Pa. -IUPII- "Aunt Martha" Vanoy, 108, a former slave who gained freedom at the end of the Civil War, will be buried Friday following funeral services at the First Baptist church here. She died Tuesday. Under the bill's aid formu la, 108 different urban areas in 26 states and Puerto Rico would be eligible to apply for federal help in attracting new industry. The measure would autho rize $100 million in lending for industrial plants and another $100 million in loans and $75 million in grants for public facilities. It also calls for $19 million annually for subsistence grants for unem ployed persons being re trained for new jobs, for tech nical assistance to communi ties and for occupational re training. The remaining $100 million was earmarked for lending for job-creating projects in rural areas. Republicans attempted to derail the administration bill with a $275 million substitute which omitted the rural area aid. But the House rejected this on a 291-125 rollcall. Faithful Dog Helps To Locate Man on Mountain Portland - (UPD - A devoted dog helped a sheriff's posse locate an 80-year-old man who was helpless in the rugged Larch mountain area near here. Nero, an Australian sheep dog, stayed near his master, Tony Eaton, most of the two days Eaton was missing from his rural home near Corbett. The animal made two trips home, stayed for a while each time and left again indicating the direction the elderly man had taken. Wife Alarmed Eaton had fallen down a slope and his leg was doubled up under him. Unable to move he stayed in this position. The dog stayed with him except for the trips home. Mrs. Eaton, a crippled wom an, became alarmed when the dog returned without his mas ter, and walked two miles to a neighbor's home to summon help. Located Wednesday A sheriff's search party failed to find the man Tues day, but with bloodhounds lo cated Eaton Wednesday. When searchers arrived at the Eaton home Wednesday, Mrs. Eaton told them the dog had returned home about 7:30 a.m. and then trotted off in a southeasterly direction. Dog Led Searchers "We figured if we'd start looking in the same direction, the dog would see us and bark or make himself seen," said Sgt. Joe Quinlan, sher iff's deputy directing the search. "That's just what hap pened. " Eaton was taken to a Port land hospital, in serious condi tion from exposure. Hatfield Officiates At Ground-Breaking Eugene-IUPr-Gov.

Pressure Charged On Regulation of Gasoline Hauling Salem -IUPD- Charges of big oil company pressures on service station operators to shut up opposition to a bill on gasoline transportation were brought at a committee hear ing here Wednesday night. The testimony came on a bill to let the. .state fire mar shal adopt national safety reg ulations for transporting flam mable liquids, repealing stricter local ordinances in some 20 Oregon cities. One effect would be to per mit larger trucks to carry gas oline into cities, and some smaller distributors lack this equipment. Rep. Ross Morgan (D-Gresh-am) called it "special legisla tion for a special interest group" and said major oil companies were waging a fierce fight to pass the bill. Pressures have been brought to bear, Morgan said, and service station operators and distributors have been "told to keep their mouths shut or else." Howard Hedrick of the Pe troleum Distributors Associa tion, Inc., told the House Lo cal Government Committee oil companies wanted the bi for the "well-being of their pocketbooks." William Hedlund, repre senting the major oil compa nies, endorsed the measure and said it would provide in creased safety in moving and delivering gasoline, particu larly for cities which do not have their own ordinances.
