Airliner's Flight Recorder Indicates Violent Stresses Washington -HTB- The flight recorder of the Northwest Orient Airlines Jet which crashed in the Florida Ever glades last Tuesday indicates the plane was subjected to violent stresses severe enough to cause structural failure, it was lpnrneH today. The stresses may have been the result of storm turou lence, although this still is in the realm of speculation. Sources close to the investi gation of the crash, in which tali 43 nhnard were killed, said a preliminary recorder read ing showed tins picture: -The Roeina 720B ict reach ed a maximum altitude of ahont 19.400 feet when it en countered what appeared to be extreme turbulence. Standard Soeed -The indicated air speed at this point was adout zsu or 255 knots (around 300 miles per hour), which is standard penetration 6pced for entering turbulence in a jet. -At this speed, the recorder rrnwlpri out a reading of negative "G" forces 3.5 times that of gravity. Negative o forces put a downward strain on the wings, and 3.5 far ex ceeds the design limits of the airplane. -The high G forces Indica ting probable turbulence was followed by a minute of smooth flight, then slightly choppy air for another 30 seconds, and suddenly a nose pitch-over into a dive.

HoO' ver of Eagle Point, who has already distributed thousands of trees to southern Oregon youngsters, visited Central Point Junior High school this morning to present awards and give more trees. Hoover presented plaques to Ronald Walsh, Nancy Arm strong, Rhonda Walker and Sherrill Phaff for writing the best thank you letters andor poems to him for trees he had given them on a previ' ous occasion. Dale Prentice of the Keep Oregon Green committee also honored the four students. The presentation of awards was part of a tree conserva tion program put on by Hoo ver and school principal George Johns.

Teen-Age Dance Set At Armory Friday A teen-age dance sponsored by the Mcdford park and rec reation department has been scheduled for Friday, Feb. 22, at the Medford Armory, ac cording to Director Robert L. Haworth. It will be the second in a scries of dances sponsored by the department for high school students in this area. Dancing will be held from 9 p.m. to midnight. Music will be furnished by tlic "Fres cos." Admission is 35 cents per person and 50 cents for couples. are preliminary and subject to continued analysis. They also cautioned against any premature interruption. "At this point," one official said, "all we have is evidence of severe turbulence, abnorm al stress forces and a high speed dive. It's too soon to tell whether turbulence caused a structural break-up, whether other factors might have been involved, whether the dive caused structural failure or merely followed it." Strongest Airliners Airmen and engineers alike would be stunned if it is deter mined that the Northwest jet was wrecked by storm turbu lence. Airliners like the Boeing 720 are regarded as the strongest ever built. "If it turns out to be turbu lence," one pilot commented, "it must have been the equiva lent of a tornado. I just can't believe it could happen to a Jet." Air Force Man's Car Goes Into Lake An Air Force man from Klamath Fails reported to state police last night he had driven his car off the Green Springs highway into Keene creek reservoir. State police, who did not investigate the accident said the driver, Pete Kulick, Kingslcy Air Force base, ap parently was not seriously hurt. Kulick telephoned state po lice to tell them his car went off the highway after cross ing the bridge. The car is 20 feel out in the reservoir, and will be removed today, the Air Force man told state police. Brideewaler.

The House Planning and Development committee ques tioned whether the marine board should "make rules and regulations regarding' marine toilets and their use consistent with the prevention and con trol of pollution of the waters of this state." Marine Board Director R. F. Rittenhouse said the board should make the rules because it is in contact with boaters. Lent Objects Kenneth Speas of the State Board of Health indicated he would just as soon leave the problem up to the marine board. But Rep. Berkeley Lent (D- Marshal lakes Man After Arraignment Dewey Wayne Whiteley, Madera, Calif., was taken to Portland by the U. S. marshal following his arraign m e n t here before the U. S. Commis sioner Frank J. Van Dyke on a charge of violation of the Dyer act (transporting a stolen car across state lines). Whiteley and two other sailors from the U. S. Naval Training center, San Diego, were arrested by Oregon state police last week after two grocery stores in the area notified officers that some sus picious looking men were at tempting to cash checks. After the trio was arrested, it was learned that the ve hicle they were driving had been stolen in San Diego, Calif., and that all were away without leave from the Navy. The other two sailors, Rich ard Dean Robertson, 868 Gil man rd., Medford, and James Russell Boyles, Topeka, Kan., were turned over to the U. S. Navy officials Monday afternoon. Port land) strongly opposed granting "such broad rule making power" to the marine board. He suggested the rules be made a part of the legisla tion. The committee suggested Rittenhouse and Speas draft an amendment and present it to the committee next Mon day. Other features of the pro posed law met with approval. It would change boat regis tration procedures, extend li censing to all motor boats, and set speed laws near ramps, docks, mooring and swimming areas, and increase registration fees. Education Discussed Dr. Roy Lieuallen, chancel lor of higher education, told an education subcommittee "from outside the state we sometimes look pretty good." He showed a full-page article from a Canadian newspaper which lauded Oregon's higher education system to empha size his point. Lieuallen outlined planning and development programs under way by higher educa tion, and cited the need for more work in this area. Legislative Fiscal Officer Kenneth Bragg explained that the department was asking $483,000 for this work, com pared to $387,000 now being spent. Lieuallen said as a matter of "system policy" outside work by professors was not objected to so long as it did not interfere with regular job requirements. He said "consultant work" by professors was a wide spread practice that helped keep instructors in touch with practical business operations. In other business, spokes men for bus lines told the Senate Highways Committee they would bear an unfair share of the burden under the Governor's proposal to adjust weight-mile taxes for heavy vehicles. Minimum standards for practicing as a psychologist in Oregon were urged at a meeting of the Senate Com mittee on Health and Welfare.

Sides Chosen for Battle of Budget In California Sacramento IUFI The an nual battle of the budget opened today in California's legislature. Right away, an opening shot was propelled at plans for a state withholding tax backed by Democratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown. "It is the least desirable of the proposals he has made,' said legislative analyst A. Alan Post, the legislature's watchdog on state spending. But he hastened to say that in his annual review of the governor's $3 2 billion spend ing program Post had taken no formal recommendation one way or the other on with holding. Post made his comments before Ihe nssrmhlv Wavi I and Means committee, which met to organize for its an nual review of the budget. Chairman Robert W. Crown announced plans for subcom mittee meetings to make an ilem by-item review of the huge spending plan. Another Potihot A second potshot was taken at the administration by Assemblyman Charles Conrad (R-Shrrnian Onksl. the lower chamber's minority floor leader. "The thing that bothers me is that a tax increase is in ! evitable in this program and I the administration is covering up the fact that they're get ting by for two years on windfalls." said Conrad. He backed this allegation by pointing lo a slatement by Post in his 1,0 1 0-page budget analysis that the pay-as-you-go income tax would give the stale a "one-time" pickup of about $131 million in fiscal 1SS4-6J and that increased state revenue could be ex pected from Long Beach oil l fields.
