PAGE FOURTEEN Opposition Seen Over Proposed HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Sudaet Measures By WILLIAM F. AHBOOAST WASHINGTON Wl Portions ol President Elsenhower's wv balanced es-billion-dollar spend ing budget tor the next fiscal year today appeared to lace some still bipartisan congressional trouble. "Too much," said Chairman Ta per (R-NY) of the House Appropri ations committee. Rather risky, commented House . Democratic Leader Rayburn of Texas, referring to a cut In ... planned national security spend ing. Many congressmen, however. praised the emphasis on air power and new weapons. Rayburn agreed it was proper to put emphasis on ootn. Some Republicans and Demo crats joined In commenting that the President's stand against cuts in corporation and excise tax rates was likely to face severe fire from a Congress anxious to cut taxes Kidnapers Face Charge SAN FRANCISCO Wl Two men who never got a cent of the $300,000 ransom they demanded for the release of Leonard Mos kovlta faced arraignment Friday on kidnaping cnarges. Harold Jackson, 67, and Joseph Lear, 43, were arrested early Tues day by police who rescued Mos kovltz, 36, unharmed from a rented iiouse where ne nad oeen neid cap tive for 61 terror-filled hours. Jackson, described by Lear as the kidnap leader, asked twice for an opportunity to phone an attorney, then refused to use the phone. It appeared likely a public deiender would represent the pair. . Thursday, Police Chief Michael Caffey said criminologists had es tablished through fingerprints that Jackson might be Howard Haller, alias Harold Jackson, who had been sentenced to the Washington State reformatory in 1923. But records received from Wash ington authorities, convinced San Francisco police that he apparent ly wasn't the same man. Jackson apparently had burned his own fingertips in an effort to hide his identity. Police said a set of his scarred prints had been sent to the FBI In Washington, D. C. for a cnecK. . . Moskovlte planned to return to his real estate office Monday. Punishment under California's Little Lindbergh Law provides for life imprisonment for kidnaping, and the death penalty if any bodily harm was inflicted. Moskovitz said he was threatened, but not harmed. School Bus Business Up SALEM OB School bus service in Oregon has grown Into a five million dollar a year business, A, Harvey Wright, state director of school transportation, says. The cost of - operating school buses now is five times what it was 10 years' ago. ' The big Increase is caused by many more school children, in creased operating and equipment costs, and the fact that many dis tricts have consolidated and thus inoreased the distance children have to go to school, In 1952, the state's 129 transport ing school districts hauled 123,858 pupils at a post of $4,653,145. That Is double the cost In 1946. The 1941 total was $1,078,351, and it was only $888,974 In 1936. The state pays about a third of the sohool transportation cost, with the districts paying the rest. Substation Fire Damage Slight A- fire at the newly constructed California Oregon Power com pany substation just off highway 97 west of here early this morn ing casued little damage, accord ing to company officials. The blaze.t starting about 6 a.m. of undetermined cause, destroyed a tool shed and a small number of tools. The Stewart Lennox fire depart ment quickly brought the fire un der control. One truck from the city fire department also answer ed the call, . Longshoreman Move To Bar Dewey NEW YORK Ifl The old In ternational Longshoremen's Assn. has filed suit In Federal Court to bar Oov.

But con sider how It was made: From stolen scraps of metal and a war-wrecked gun carrier. - With its builder, 32-year-old Vac lav Uhlik, and Walter Hora, 25, another Czech " escapee at the helm, the tank set out on its trip yesterday as part of the Crusade for Freedom campaign. . Just as the 15-mlle trip was about to begin, tne tank's radia tor started to leak. That was fixed. Then the - retractable wheels wouldn't lower because of a brok en clutch.- Since this meant the old battlewagon had to be run on Its caterpillar tracks a special of ficial okay had to- be obtained be fore it could run that way along city streets. More delay. Finally, with a motorcade es cort of police, newsmen and pho tographers, the tank clattered off at a 10-mile-an-hour clip. It rum bled over a Harlam River bridge and reached 88th street before the engine quit. Uhlik, who had chauffeured him self and seven fellow Czechs through a 40-mile cordon of Com munist police and border guards, again went to work on It. The ignition system was fouled and the carburetor began flooding. More work, more crowds, and plenty of friendly advice. A taxi- cab driver stopped to lend Uhlik some tools. It was no go. So police got a tow car and pulled the tank tu Times Square. Tliere was no time left to get to its planned destination- City Hall because it was nearly dark. So the stouthearted vehicle hulks temporarily .on the Great White Way, broken in mechanical spirit but radiating a pathetlo herosim. $189.95 to $835.00 IV The BEST by TEST CHECK THESE FEATURES Unsurpassed picture quality ' ' Powerful "Rotomatic tuning Golden Throat tone system Beautiful, solid cabinets 85 styles and models to choose from SEE TV BUY RCA TV from YOUR RCA Dealer and Service Shop for over EIGHT YEARS in tHfe X.smath Basin B & B Radio & Electric 401 South Sixth ' .
