MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON THURSDAY, KOViSBfi 1, KSS3 Haney Gives '. Il l I II llllll I -' J ut Nevs as Voice of Space AMERICA'S "VOICE" IS HANEY Paul Haney, 35-year-old newsman, who succeeded Col. John A. "Shorty" Powers as America's "voice" of the Gemini and Apollo astronauts, is shown here at his Houston, Texas, home with his family. (UPI) Capitol Memo By Zan Stark Lawmakers Seek Meaning of Vote SALEM (UPI) There appears ; to be an almost fanatical re fusal on the part of some of the state's leaders to admit that the Oct. 15 tax defeat meant STOP SPENDING. Many lawmakers and state of ficials are frantically scurrying about in search for the "true meaning" of the referendum election. Sales tax proponents interpret the vote as a mandate to in troduce a new tax to Oregon. Friends of education claim the voters support education, but didn't like the legislature's tax increase bill. Some lawmakers privately want to retaliate against the voters by enacting a series of nuisance taxes. Gov. Mark Hatfield has called for re-passage of the one - shot speedup of withholding collec tions to bring in $12 million this biennium a part of the tax bill the voters rejected. Few Suggest Economy . But few indeed are the state's leaders who suggest the Oct. 15 vote was a demand for economy. It would be difficult to im agine two men with more di vergent philosophies than Sec retary of State Howell Appling Jr., and Senate President Ben Musa. Yet thev acrce on one thing. They feel the Oct. 15 vote WAS a mandate to stop spending. There are many reasons to believe they are right. The loudest pre-election cry By WILLIAM CLAYTON United Press International HOUSTON UPI) Ameri cas "voice of the Gemini and apoilo astronauts belongs to a stocky, soft-spoken man who has the questionable honor of bulwarking 30 astronauts against a demanding public. He is Paul Haney, 35-year-old former newsman who must now dish out rather than collect news about the American space effort and the astronauts. By contrast with his predeces sor, Haney would be a Milque toast. The Mercury "voice" was nearly as much in the news in his job as the astronauts were. John A. 4 ofiorty Powers is a diminutive flamboyant, bubbly showman with a short wick on his patience. - . Haney is a matter-of-fact man whose background in news is said to give him an advantage in guessing in advance what newmen's reactions and ques tions about space will be. He is generally quiet and firm. Powers, former public affairs officer for the Manned Space craft Center, is now a consult ant with the National Aeronaut ics and Space Administration (NASA) in Washington. Moves Uo NASA moved Haney up from the public affairs office at Washington to his post over public affairs at the spacecraft center. Before that, he worked for newspapers in Erie, Pa., Akron, Ohio, and Memphis, Tenn. Be fore he joined NASA in 1958, he was assistant city editor of the Washington Evening Star. He holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Kent State University at Kent, Ohio. He studied for a while at George town University Law School. Haney and his wife, Jane, have four children 8-year-old Maura, 7-year-old Danny, 5-; year-eld Michael and 3-year-old Megan. Mrs. Haney is no stranger to dignitaries and newsmakers. She worked tor a time as social secretary for file Saudi Arabian ambassador in Washington and later for the Jordanian embas sy. She also taught English at American' University in Wash ington. Haney is a figurehead as "voice of the Gemini Apoi lo astronauts." He is called to play a big part in maintaining America's image of open dis tribution of space news. But he 8 1 Effort does not like symbols of that', "J nave an unabashed love type. I for the space program," be "I don't go much far ihisjsaid, image-building business," hsy said. "If you are running a good solid operation, your im age takes care of itself. I'm not much taken with figureheads." . Even though the astronaut : team is increasing and Haney 's job is more complex than wasj: Powers', Haney can foresee th : day "when the space effort mil ; not be the aaiiosai television and news spectacular it has been" as Americans become ! more blase about biastoJfs, j Haney himself is still excited j about A. A 8AMBY BURGERS REG. 55c ONJ.Y 25 BAMBY'S AT THE BIG Y TUESDAY, fRSBAY, SATURDAY n3 SUNDAY Motorist Cited for Driving in River LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Ray Aguilar, 19-year-old driver of a car seen bobbing along in storm waters of the Los Ange les River, was cited Wednes day for driving in a river bed. Aguilar was hailed ashore in his buoyant auto by officers who saw him about two hours after he and his "crew" of four one of which was sitting top side as a navigator slid into the fenced, cement-lined chan nel from a moss-covered bank three miles upstream. was that a "No" vote would be a vote against education. Edu cators felt the public would respond. They did-they voted 3 1-2 to 1 to defeat the measure. Three Groups May Emerge It now appears three major blocks of opinion will emerge at the special sessions begin ning next Monday, The Musa bloe opposes re- enactment of the one-shot bill, or any other new revenue source, including a sales tax. This group wants general state economy, with the Biggest cuts to come out of basic school support. Basic school cuts can be offset at the local level by increased property taxes, and this flrouo feels the local school district voters should be free to make their own choice about how much they want to pay for education. The Hatfield plan calls for en actment of the one-shot meas ure, general state economy, and a less severe cut in basic school funds. Sales Tax Has Backers Then there are the sales tax peoople, who insist the voters on Oct. 15 were demanding a new form of taxation, njt budg et cuts. The agricultural bloc seems solidly behind the sales tax as a method of easing the local property tax burden. Most of the sales tax bills proposed to date have included provision for a property tax offset. Farm ers want lower property taxes. Thev also want feed, seed and fertilizer exempted irom t n e sales tax. Oregon voters have rejected sales taxes five times in the! past 30 years. ! There also is some support for a cigarette tax. Voters have rejected this idea six times since 1926, The length of the special ses sion may depend on how firmly the Musa bloc stands for no new revenue. The session cannot end until the House adopts a plan the Senate will approve. Gresham Youths Plead Guiliy PORTLAND (UPI) -Four of five Gresham boys arrested aft er the death of an elderly Ja panese lecluse last summer pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of assault and battery in Multnomah County Circuit Court Wednesday. The district attorney's office indicated indictments charging all five with conspiracy to com mit armed robbery would be dismissed because of Jack of evidence. Judge Virgil Langtry ordered a presentence investigation for Arthur E. Clunie, 16, and Gary J. Luther, Paul E. Schoenburn and Lawrence T. Tibbett, all 17. The fifth youth, Charles R. Hancock, 16, was late for the court appearance and Langtry ordered the sheriff to take him into custody for an apperance today. The five were arrested after the body of Benzo Oye, 78, was found m his shack last July. The boys reportedly told sher iff's deputies Oye collapsed dur ing a beating. The coroner's of fice attributed death to heart disease. The Japanese consul here asked for a report on the case after it was learned Oye had never become an American citizen.

The plane, bound for Montre al, was not airborne but had reached the point of no re turn" when the accident hap pened. Four persons, three women and a man, required hospitalization but their injur ies were not considered seri ous. Visibility was about 20 yards. officials said, when the plane started down the runwav. Ground speed was too great to come to an orderly halt when the pilot, t'apl. R.S. Found, had to slam on the brakes. The giant jetliner skidded about 700 yards into the boggy cabbage paten and one ot us tour en gines caught fire. The passengers were able to scramble out of the aircraft in near-record time by using an escape chute. TCA officials said all were removed from the plane within 90 seconds aft er the accident. Most of the passengers who spent the night in London ho tels, will return to Canada to day aboard another plane flown here from Canada, TCA offi cials said. Large Deep Sea Barge Launched ' VANCOUVER.
