Two other lawmakers sat in on the nearly two hours of quizzing Three Accidents In City Caused by Slippery Roads Slick pavements caused by Ihe snowfall Monday after noon, were blamed for three vehicle accidents in Mcdford according to city police. No injuries were reported, how ever, in any of the mishaps. Four cars were damaged about 0:38 p.m. in an acci dent in front of 803 West Jackson si. James Stanley Drysdale, 16, of 23 North Or ange St., told officers his car began to slide when he ap plied the brakes.

Drysdale told officers he stopped his car and got out to check the damage, at which time his car was struck by a vehicle operated by David Quenlin Jordan, 18, Jackson ville, which was unable to stop in time because of the slick pavement. Olficcrs said no citations were issued.

Florists Give Tips For Centerpieces Washington -UTH- While floral arrangement lor a table selling still is called a center piece, it docs not have to be confined to the center of a table, says the Society of American Florists. For example, flowers may be placed on a rectangular table this way: at one or both ends; in one corner; in two opposite comers; on one side or in the center. Subcommittee Chair man Rep. Beulah Hand (D-Milwau-kie) put Sandstrom on notice right at the start that the civil defense budget would have to be justified. Sen. Alfred Cornell (D Portland) said readiness in natural disasters has been a main justification for civil defense in the past. "What happened," he said, when civil defense failed to warn Oregon after the Oct. 12 storm hit the southwest corner? 'No Answer' "I have no answer for that . . . we are embarrassed every day by it." Sandslrorn replied. Sandstrom said his agency's main program at present is locating shelters in buildings in Oregon, marking them, stocking them with federal supplies, and training men to operate them in emergencies. I lie said a majority oi snei- ter spaces located so far are in the Portland area. At the same time, he conceded that with sufficient notice Port land residents probably would be dispersed to other areas. He also said some building operators refuse to allow stor age of supplies in potential shelter areas. lie said he did not know haw many. N o supplies have been stocked yet. Sandstrom said, but a federal shipment is stor ed in Trouldale for distribu tion. "Our job is to draw up the plans to save 1,800,000 lives," Sandstrom said. The legislators were uncon vinced. Is It Worth It? "People are not very en thusiastic about all this," said Sen. L. W. Newbry (R-Ash-land). "I'm wondering if we Regional Edition Page 2A MEDFORDMfejTRIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON. TUESDAY.

Newbry termed evacuation -dispersal plans "ridiculous." "I'm surprised military peo ple ever conceived such a plan," he said, adding it was difficult enough to get out of Portland at the end of the day. "Where are they going to live and what are they going to eat?" Rep. Ross Morgan (D-Gresham) added. "These are the questions we ask ourselves," Sandstrom re plied. "We'll never know un til we try it," he said. Sandstrom said city, county and state departments func tioned effectively during the storm. Prodded by legislators, he said they probably would have functioned just as ef fectively without the civil de fense agency. "The truth of the matter," said Morgan, "is that civil de fense had nothing to do with it before or after the storm." Musa, Barton Back Hatfield's Plan Salem-ll'Pri-Scnate President Ben Musa and House Speaker Clarence Barton today sup ported the Natural Resources department proposed Monday by Gov. Mark Hatfield. Musa predicted a "great scream" from sportsmen and hunters, and predicted "spe cial interest groups will start putting the pressure on." Barton said "these things make sense." Hatfield Monday submitted a special message which call ed for a new natural resour ces department to combine the activities of 20 state agen cies. Barton pointed to the dis harmony between the fish and the game commission, and decried the "complete and ut ter frustration to legislators when you listen to these two groups." Selective Profit Taking Sends Stock Prices Slightly Lower New York - lUl'li - Selective profit taking sent the slock market slightly lower today.

Recommended Curbs Deal With Overseas Junkets Washington-lUPI)- For some junketing congressmen, pro posed new travel curbs may mean bye-bye to Paris, Rome and Hong Kong. But Capitol loophole-hunters said today the rest of the world's loss could prove to be Hawaii's gain. They speculated that Puerto Rico, Florida, the Southwest and possibly other sun-favored spots within the United States also may be seeing wid er congressional trade if the House approves a recommen ded crackdown on less-than-urgent travel abroad at ex pense of the taxpayer. In recommending the trav el curbs Monday, the House Rules committee dealt only with overseas travel. Some of the more junket-minded law makers were quick to note this did nothing to throw a damper on official tours in this country. This and other loopholes quickly spotted in the pro posed new curbs pointed up a fact of congressional life on which Howard W. Smith (D-Va.) already had comment ed. "f don't know if we ever will be able to stop all the abuses," Smith told the com mittee. At his suggestion, however, the committee elected to try. It voted to bar use of so-called counterpart funds for foreign currencies held to the credit of the United States by mem bers of committees which have been refused House per mission to travel abroad. It also recommended light new restrictions on expense accounts of those whose for eign travel is authorized by the House as essential to the taxpayers' interest. Because of the technicali ties involved it immediately became apparent that not ev ery House committee would be hit by the new travel curb. Among those that wouldn't, the cynical noted, is Rules. But Rules members with few exceptions have had to stay home anyway, mostly because Chairman Smith would not approve any travel. Also left footloose and fan cy free by the proposed ban was the Senate. Rep. Ray J. Madden (D-Ind.), a Rules com mittee member, said that Sen ators, from what he reads in the papers, seem to take off any time for any part of the world, possibly just for a week end.

Riverside Ave. Virgin and Child Drawing Said To Be Disintegrating London -HTF- A S2.24 mil lion Leonardo da Vinci draw ing of the Virgin and Child in the National Gallery will disintegrate beyond repair unless prompt scientific steps are taken to preserve it ac cording to the Daily Express. The 403-ycar-nld charcoal drawing was paid for in part by SI 12 million contributed by (he public. The National Gallery bought the work last year from the Royal Acad emy. No National Gallery offic ials were available for com ment on the condition of the drawing. Experts To Meet The Daily press said a seven-man delegation of in ternational experts will meet wilh National Gallery Direc tor Sir Philip Ilendy next month to decide what to do about the drawing. The Express quoted Ilendy as saying the drawing "is fixed on five or eight layers of paper stuck on to canvas 200 ears old and the paste has become pretty rotten by now.'' 'There is a tendency for the patur to come awav from the canvas as the adhesive nets nldrr and for the adhe sive to combine with elements in tlie London atmosphere to make the paper more brit tle.'' Ilendy was quoted as saying. Law of Nature "According n the law of naline. things cillier go for ward or backward. Since the drawing has in. hie, it j going backward." Honih said.
