Senate Education
Committee Tables
Two Measures
Salem-AJPD-Chances for any
substantial changes in distri
bution of state school money
plunged toward nil' Thursday.
The Senate Education Com
mittee tabled two bills, each
proposing broad changes in
the ways state school funds
are handed out to the dis
tricts. .
: Key votes on killing , both
bills were 4-3 and 5-2, and
there : was some chance the
committee might reconsider
its action next week.
Approval Unlikely ,
But the absence of strong
support for any of the pro
posals made legislative ap
proval highly unlikely. .
One of the bills, drafted by
an interim committee, would
have apportioned out state
support on the basis of a coun
ty's ability to pay. '
It was aimed at reducing
property taxes in some dis
tricts, but it won quick resent
ment from richer counties that
would suffer a cut to help
their poorer neighbors.
Other Dies Too
The other bill would have
given state money to counties
largely on a per child basis,
but would -have allowed the
counties to give more to the
school districts that had the
hardest time supporting their
own schools.
The committee tabled this
bill Immediately, with only
Sens. Ben Musa (D-The Dalles)
and Walter Letlu (R-Salem)
voting to keep it alive.
The . bill calling for state
level equalization was toned
down considerably by amend
ments from Sen. Ward Cook
(D-Portland) before the com
mittee agreed to kill it too. :
Voting to table it were Sens.
Musa, Leth, Al Flegel (D-Rose-burg)
and Donald Husband (R-
Eugene),
. Most state funds now are
distributed purely on a per
child basis, although about 20
per cent is used to relieve dis
tricts with the heaviest prop
erty tax levels.
Other Highlights . .
. Mackie-MacKay - A memor
ial urging Congress and Presi
dent Kennedy to take steps to
bring William Mackie and
Hamlsh Scott. MacKay back
to this country was approved
by the Senate State and Fed
eral. Affairs Committee.
Mackie was deported to Fin
land and MacKay to Canada
last year after a lengthy legal
battle with immigration au
thorities. Library - A bill to let the
state library establish region
al service centers, bringing
books to more sparsely popu
lated areas, won House ap
proval and went back to the
Senate for concurrence In
amendments.
Drivers - A Senate-passed
bill to crack down on drunken
drivers' ran Into opposition
from House Judiciary Com
mittee members. The measure
would permit chemical tests
on drivers suspected of drunk
enness unless the driver flat
ly, refused in- which case his
license would be suspended
until hearings were held. Rep.
Edward Fadeley (D-Eugene)
said it would treat a suspect
as guilty until proven Inno
cent. Voters Pamphlet - The
House approved 33-26 a Senate-passed
bill to have hus
bands and wives of the same
political parties get only one
voters pamphlet. .
Natural Resources
Bills Approved
Salem -(UPI)- Six reorganiza
tion bills , setting up divisions
in a new natural resources de
partment won approval Thurs
day from the senate State and
Federal Affairs Committee.
The "do pass" stamp was
placed on the measures in
spite of strong objections from
fishing and wildlife groups
over - placing fish and game
agencies in the new depart
ment. The department would have
cabinet, status, with its head
appointed by the governor.
It was revised to Keep itsh
and game divisions separate,
after witnesses at an earlier
hearing opposed merger of the
two agencies. But this failed
to satisfy opponents.

Washlngton-ffiPD-Atty. Gen.
Robert F. Kennedy has sent
Congress legislation to
strengthen the FBI's battle
against organized crime.
Kennedy, at his first news
conference Thursday, said the
bills would give the govern
ment new power to combat
gambling and labor-management
corruption, and give the
FBI broader powers in run
ning down fugitives.
Kennedy also said the
Justice Department might re
vise the attorney general's list
of subversive - organizations,
which has not been updated
for several years.
Kennedy said his proposed
bills would "give the FBI in
creased jurisdiction to assist
local authorities in the com
mon battle against tne

The committee was review
ing substitutes . and amend
menta proposed by Thornton
when hard feeling came to a
head In a motion by Rep. Tom
Monaghan : (D-Milwaukle) to
subpoena records from Thorn
ton. . .
Rep. Douglas Heider (R-Sa-
lem) described the material as
records "which the attorney
general has withheld from
this committee. Exact na
ture of the records was not
given. - .
Subpoena Order Approved
The committee, numbering
four Democrats and three Re
publicans at the meeting, ap
proved the subpoena order by
a voice vote.
The walkout came quickly
when Monaghan, following a
brief recess, asked to with
draw the word "subpoena"
and substitute "request" as a
courtesy to Thornton.
The Republicans, Heider,
and Reps. Sidney Bazett,
Grants Pass, and Robert
Smith, Burns, marched from
the . room in order to prevent
the committee from counter
manding the subpoena order
by leaving it short of a
quorum. '
The abrupt ending to the
meeting left the committee
temporarily stranded over
what action will be taken on
the measure.
Russian Captain
Requests Asylum
. Hemsen, Sweden- HOT -The
captain of a 200-ton Soviet
submarine tender sailed his
ship into Swedish - waters
Thursday night and asked, for
political asylum, . police said
today. ;;
But a spokesman for Swe
den's Supreme Command said
none of the shir's nine-man
crew had sought asylum with
the skipper so far. They stayed
aboard the vessel while the
captain, a Lithuanian - bor-
lleutenant about 40 years old,
went ashore.
Swedish authorities did not
immediately identify the de
fector. There was no early an
nouncement of whether he
was granted asylum.

To Join Monestary
Raiford, Fla. - (UPI! - Rus
sell Tongay, once the toast of
the aquatic world who wound
up in a prison cell in the death
of his swimming champion
daughter, apparently Intends
to seek refuge from the past
in a Trapplst monastery.
Officials at the state prison
here revealed Thursday that
Tongay, 44 was released last
Friday after serving six years
of a 10-year manslaughter sen
tence in the 1953 death of his
daughter, Kathy, s. ' 1
Tongay was Imprisoned for
ordering the child to leap
from a high diving board 33
feet above the pool of the old
MacFadden-Deauvllle hotel in
Miami Beach. She was killed
while carrying out the instruc
tion. International Acclaim
The girl and her brother,
Bubba, won international ac
claim as "The Aquatots." They
were the pride of their father
who taught them to swim and
dive. Tongay once planned to
have Bubba, only 5 at the
time, swim the English Chan

by the British government.
British Support
Seen for Kennedy
London - IUPD - President
Kennedy today appeared to
have won solid British support
for his leadership of the West
in the "cold war" struggle
with Russia. .
The British press said Ken
nedy had strengthened the
United States' world leader
ship compared to its status
under former President Elsen
hower; - An earlier report that Ken
nedy - had rejected British
Prime Minister Harold Mac
millan as a diplomatic go-between
wltn the Soviet Union
touched off a storm of protest
in British newspapers.
But the furor died down
following high-level talks be
tween Kennedy and Mac
millan.
The British Foreign Office
had shown concern for the re
port published in a U.S. news
paper, but the British press al.
most unanimously minimized
it and endorsed Anglo-Amert
can solidarity. 1

Prison Superintendent De-
Witt Sinclair said Tongay,
now gray and slightly balding,
was given a bus ticket to
Houston, Tex. on his release-
four years early on good be
havior. He said Tongay told htm he
planned to become a Trapplst
monk, something he had talk
ed about during his last years
in prison. His forwarding ad
dress, Sinclair said, was a
Trapplst monastery at Vina,
Calif.
Model Prisoner '
The blond burly ex-coast
guardsman apparently was a
model prisoner during his last
two years at Raiford. His ear
ly confinement was marked
by two escapes, two suicide
attempts and frequent spats
with prison officials and fel
low inmates.
Bubba Tongay lived with
his schoolteacher mother in
Miami after Tongay was sent
to prison. The child developed
into a champion swimmer in
local meets, then moved to
Tarpon Springs, on Florida's
west coast, with his mother.
