The mayor hopes the tower, put up as a public service by the Scaffolding Co., will help the city council and Berkeley citizens with a factual indication of what height 15 stories is. Berkeley residents oppos; s 13-ilory apart ment development on the waterfront because it will hinder their view. Johnson says the tower will justify the council's deci sion.

A beef animal, unduly bothered by stinging insects, fails to put on weight, and plumpness in beef cattle is what brings in the money when the animals are sold. So the man shopped for an insecticide, purchased a quantity and prepared (or the spraying. Toxic Chemical He mixed and stored the chemical in an empty barrel that he hurriedly washed out; a container that about a year ago, was filled with the chem ical used as an insecticide known as methyl parathion. This toxic chemical, even though in a small amount, mixed with the spray. The mixture looked in nocent enough, and the farci manager, looked forward to fly free cattle that would become sleek and fat, without fly moles tation.

Funds were voted for inqnir- several of the items in the pack age oi "Housekeeping' bills. The cheers came when Gross' request for a roll call vote on one of the measures failed. Among the items approved was an added $1100 stationery allowance" for each of the 435 members. This raised to a rec ard $2,400 a year the amount a member may spend in the House stationery store, which sells at wholesale prices or be low. If he does not use the full allowance, t h e congressman may draw the rest in cash. Some members saw the ac tion as evidence Congress will Kennedy's Offer Of Joint Moon Effort Criticized WASHINGTON (UPI) -Rep. Katherine May (R-Wash.) sug gested Wednesday the United States might be sacrificinc a military advantage for a propa ganda advantage if it joins the soviet union in an attempt to put men on the moon. To be first in propaganda but second in defense could be fa tal," Mrs. May said in a newsletter. The Washington Republican questioned President Kennedy's proposal for a joint effort to reach the moon, saying the Rus sians could be expected to seek military control of space while "tying up" the United States in the joint cxpendition. Lend In Sliiikpilr The Russians have scored "spectacular" propaganda vic tories in their space program over the years, Mrs. May jaid. But during those same yeaii, she added, the United States had maintained a lead in the stock piling qf weapons. We may have been second in propaganda," she said, "but we were first in defense." She said she based her clouhts of the wisdom of a joint U. S.- soviet moon shot on views ex pressed by Sir Bernard Lovell. director of Britain's Jodrell bank experiment station. Lovell, Mrs. Mav noted, had expressed belief the Russians had given up the race to put a man on tne moon and were con centrating Instead on the as sembly f a space platform. She said U. S. military experts had suggested such a space platform could tie used to launch nuclear warheads to targets on the earth. ics into research agriculture, in terstate taxes, banking and some other matters. Extra al lowances were provided for members' official telephone and telegraph bills and for stamps. The added travel authority touched off one of the sharpest exchanges in recent House his tory between Gross and Rep Harold D. Cooley (D-N.C.) who gave a spirited defense of legis lative work trips abroad. Terms Trip Junket Gross asked for what purpose members of the Agriculture committee, of which Cooley is chairman, were planning addi tional travel. He noted acidly that some of the members only recently returned from a ses sion of what he called "the granddaddy of all junketing or ganizations," the Inter-Parliamentary Union, at Belgrade, Yugoslavia. This brought Cooley to his feet with a roar. He said he and about II) other House and Senate members attended the meeting and that everybody worked hard. "Why don't you go?" he de manded of Gross. "Any member can go. It's not a junketing or ganization. We work. But you just sit back here sniping, that's all you do. If you don't want to go shut up about it!" Gross shot back that Cooley ought to know, as he had attend ed every session of the Inter Parliamentary Union for the past 15 or 16 years. "And I'm going to continue to snipe," he said. With that, members laughed, called the roll to establish a quorum, and shoved through the package of hills without rec ord vote. Talent Student Gets General Foods Grant CORVALLIS-Robert D.
