Tribune Hurricane Leaves Death, In New Portland, Maine -flJPD- Dy ing hurricane Daisy moved over Canada's maritime prov inces toward Newfoundland today leaving behind a wake of death and destruction in the six-state New England area. Twenty-eight persons were killed, 25 in highway acci dents during the three - day lashing of the coastal area. Property damage was estimat ed in the millions. Rainfall in some areas totaled over 12 inches. Two o the victims drown ed when the storm made its assault on the Nova Scotia coast late Sunday. Herbert Swindells and his son, Ernest, were swept from rocks into the Atlantic near Peggy s Cove, 30 miles south of Hali fax, N.S. Winds Diminish Daisy's winds diminished to 40 to 50 miles per hour Sun day night and the Weather Bureau said the storm no longer was a hurricane. Daisy teamed up with a vicious nor'easter during the week end and. New. England reeled under the double-barreled onslaught. The rains were the heaviest since Hur ricane Diane struck the area in 1955. Francis P. O'Connor Jr., 14, downed Sunday when he was swept into the Atlantic Ocean while watching the surf with a companion. Severe flooding remained the length of the New Eng land coast and a threat of more flooding posed new problems to weary rescue and mop-up crews. Rivers spilled their banks, transportation was at a stand still in many cities, main ar teries in downtown Boston were a foot under water and scores of boats lay strangely on their sides on beaches. Thieves Take $900 From Coffee Shop Thieves broke into the of fice of Bamby's Coffee Shop pe, North Pacific Highway, sometime late Saturday or early Sunday and took about $900 in cash, Medford city po lice said today. Investigating officers said entry was gained to the res taurant through a service door fronting on Table Rock rd., which was pried open. Burglars then pried off a louver in the door of the res taurant office and reached in to unlock the door, officers speculated. Several rolls of change were not taken, officers said. No damage was done to the interior of the restaurant oth er than the doors which were forced open.

Search Pilot Reports No Sign Of Survivors Crash Site Said East of Eureka Eureka, Calif. - (UPI) - A search pilot today spotted wreckage believed to be that of a plane that disappeared with Rep. Clem Miller (D Calif.) and two other persons. The search pilot, Les Pierce of Pierce Flying Service, said he was able to identify the downed craft as the twin-en gined Piper Apache in which Miller was riding when it was heard from Sunday evening. Pierce reported no sign of survivors. Found on Ranch The wreckage was on the Big Bend ranch in mountains about 30 miles east of Eureka. Pierce was one of 25 civil ian and military pilots who took off at dawn today to oar ticipate in the search for the missing plane. The searchers were hampered by rain, fog ana clouds. Miller, a Democrat repre senting California's so-called Redwood Empire district, was flying with pilot George Head and Head's 12-year-old son when contact with their plane was lost In stormy weather Sunday. A brief air search before dark Sunday failed to turn up any sign cf the plane. Flying on Instruments The Civil Air Patrol said the plane was flying on in struments ana there was a heavy cloud bank near the airport. Miller, 45, was elected to Congress in 1958. He is seek ing reelection and was be lieved to be on a campaign tour at the time of his disap pearance. Miller is the father of five daughters. County Court Asks To Be Consulted On Yard Licenses County Judge Earl M. Mil ler said the court is sending a letter to the state motor ve hicle department asking that all wrecking yard license re newals In Jackson county be referred to the county court before being granted. The court's understanding of the present state law on wrecking yards is that the motor vehicle department can grant a license renewal with out referring it to the respec tive county court for recom mendation. The county judge said he planned to urge a revision of the state wrecking yard law when he meets with the urban affairs committee of the As sociation of Oregon Counties Wednesday in Salem. He is committee chairman. "As the law was amended by the last legislature, eight vehicles are allowed outside the required wrecking yard fence. So, what good does it do to have a fence if they allow cars outside of it?" Mil ler commented today. Earlier, the county court had received a number of complaints from residents of the south Talent zoned area claiming the wrecking yard is unsightly. The county court inspected the yard and talked to the operator, but Miller noted that the present word ing of the state law makes it difficult to deal with the problem. Foreign Aid Bill Sent to White House Washington - (UFH - The Senate today sent to the White House a compromise $3.93 billion foreign aid money bill that fell far short of what President Kennedy wanted.

Dorticos condemned President Kennedy's projected embargo on ships of Cuba. (UPI) President Asks Condemning Of Embargo Plans United Nations. N. Y. lUPl Cuban President Osvaldo Dor ticos today asked the United Nations to condemn President Kennedy's projected embargo on ships of nil flags-currying cargoes to Cuba. Dorticos, speaking under heavy security precautions and interrupted from time to time by shouts from the pub lic gallery, called the project ed embargo an "act prepara tory for war." Expected Shortly Kennedy was expected to invoke within the next two weeks an order closing U. S. ports to ships of any country whose vessels have carried military supplies to Cuba. 'I ask whether this block ade is or is not an act of war," Dorticos told the assem bly in a speech delivered as Cuba's chief of stale. ' 'I ask you whether the gov: ernmcnt of the United States is entitled, empowered or al lowed outside this internation al organization, showing its contempt for the organization, to take such action. 'Can this be made to jibe with the purposes of Improv ing and widening internation al relations which led to the establishment of the United Nations? Condemnation Askod "I ask and wonder whether the United Nations can im passively watch such events take place. I ask whether this blockade is or is not an act of war preparatory for war, that will facilitate war, and in view of this fact, can the Nearly $2000 Worth Of Tires Are Stolen Nearly $2,000 worth of tires and wheels wore stolen from vehicles in Medford some time late Saturday or early Sunday, according to city po lice.

Way Cleared for Textbook Mandate Salem IUP1I Today's U.S. Supreme Court refusal to re view a ruling which barred distribution of textbooks at public expense to parochial schools in Oregon clears the way for the Oregon Supreme Court to put Into effect Its mandate banning public text books for such schools. The order is expected to arrive here in about a week. The Oregon high court will then send its mandate to Clackamas County Circuit Court. Dr. Leon P. Minear, state superintendent of public In struction, noted that the sup plying of free public text books to parochial schools has been a matter arranged ex clusively by local school boards. But he said that when he receives Word that the man date Is in effect, he will write local school officials through out the state to call their at tention to the action. "I'm certain that local boards, knowing what Ihc law is, will follow the Supreme Court decision," he said. Noting that the State Board of Education has certain regu lations applying to adminis tration of the free textbook law, Minear said "I presume these arc now null Bnd void." Group To Discuss Opening Areas for Bird Shooting Robert Mabcn, Medford, state game commission agent, will confer tonight with the Jackson county parks and rec reation commission on pos sible opening of reservoir areas to bird shooting. The meeting Is at 7:30 o'clock in the county court office. County Parks and Recrea tion Director Neil Ledward earlier had discussed the pro posal with Mabcn. Ledward said he learned that Howard Prairie would not make a desirable wildlife refuge. Ril ing irrigation waters would drown out the nests along the shore, he explained. Ducks use the area as a rest stop and not for feeding. Shooting would not be al lowed in the developed rec reation area at Howard Prairie Order Rejects Review Petition From Clackamas Decision Upholds State Supreme Court Washington -HOT- The Su preme court refused today to review a ruling which barred distribution of textbooks at public expense to parochial schools in Oregon. The 1941 statute which al lowed the distribution was found to violate the state con stitution by the Oregon Su preme court in a 6 to 1 ruling on Nov. 15, 1961. Today's brief order rejected a petition for review by Ivan B. Carlson, father of five chil dren who attend St. John The Apostle school in Oregon City., Started in Clackamas The case was started by three taxpayers in Clackamas county's school district No. 62C - William H. Dickman, ' Harold E. Salisbury and Law rence Smelser. They sought to bar enforcement of the so called "free textbook statute" on the ground that it provid ed an unconstitutional benefit to religious institutions. The county circuit court ruled against them but they won in the Oregon Supreme court. The state court found the law violated the section of the state constitution which prohibits use of public money "for the benefit of any reli gious or theological institu tion." Theory Rejected The state court rejected the "child benefit theory" which asserts that the expenditure was solely to meet the needs of the pupils, rather than to aid the schools. The opinion noted that St. John's school has received about $4,000 worth of text books in the past three years. Carlson s appeal asserted that withdrawal of the text books Imposed an unfair bur den on Catholic parents who exercised their "religious right" to choose a parochial school for their children. The state court said it was "not unmindful of the iact that parents who send their children to Catholic schools must bear the double burden of supporting not only their own parochial schools but the public schools as well." Burden Self-imposed , "But the added burden la self-imposed," the opinion said. "Instruction in the pub lic schools is available to all." The taxpayers In their re ply did not oppose Supreme Court review of the case. But they noted that the high tri bunal routinely skips issues decided on adequate state grounds. They told the high court that Louisiana and Mississippi were the only two states be sides Oregon which authorize expenditure of public funds for textbooks to be used in non-public schools. A similar New Mexico stat ute was held in violation of the state constitution by the Now Mexico Supreme Court in 1051, the brief recalled. Rogue River Man Shot in Shoulder . Rogue River Jon Tim othy Murdock, 18, suffered a bullet wound in his shoulder this morning as he was stand ing on the front porch of his home near Rogue River, ac cording to sheriff's deputies. He was listed in good condi tion at Crater Osteopathic hos pital, Central Point. Reports of sheriff's deputies and the hospital indicated that the bul let did not penetrate any bones. It was not known immedi ately who fired the shot. Ledward noted that James Hutchinson Is now full-time caretaker at Emigrant lake. Winter closing hours arc now in effect since vandalism has oi.curred again. The traffic counter was stoirn and the concession stand broken into. The recreation season is gen erally over and the conces sionaire has been asked to re move his equipment. Through mutual agreement his' contract will not be renewed, it was noted. The county court has ap proved tentatively the horse concession contract at Howard Prairie with Clyde Wllhelm. The proposal is being review ed now by the Natlopal Park service and the bureau of reclamation for their . approval.
