PACK FOURTEEN' HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 19M Ike Hopes For Senate Help In Fight For Housing Bill Br FRED 8. nOFFMAV WASHINGTON OR Rebuffed In the House, the Eisenhower admin istration looked to the Senate to day to rescue Its low-rent public bousing program. An allegiance of Southern Demo crats and many Republicans fought shoulder to shoulder yesterday In repelling persistent efforts of Northern Democrats and Republi can leaders to write at least part of the President's public housing proposals into a general housing bill. After a two-day battle, the legis lation was passed, 352-36, without any publio housing feature and stripped of an Eisenhower request lor the right to raise Interest rates on OI home loans from the present 4',4 per cent maximum. In other housing fields. Including glum clearance, the bill went to the Senate pretty much as the admin istration wanted it. Recent history gives the admin istration grounds for hope that the Senate will come to its aid. Last year, for example, the House approved no funds for build ing public housing during the fis cal year. The Senate bill, passed later, provided for 35.000 units. Conferees of the two houses got together and fashioned a 20,000- unlt compromise. However, the administration this year will be without the help of Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-onio, potent ally of public housing sup porters in past years. Taft died last summer. In one area the House gave the President even more than he asked for. Its bill would let the Chief Executive drop down payments on home loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) be low the levels he suggested. DEFEATED Before the bill was passed, the public housing dispute was re solved by the House when it de feated on a 11-176 roll call vote Democratic motion to give Eisenhower just what be had requested authority to build 140,- Steeihead Planting OK First evidence of a successful return of steeihead from a plant ing of yearlings made in the Meto lius River in April, 1952, was ob served recently by game commis sion personnel In the area. A marked fish was recovered in one of the pond wasteways at the Wiz ard Falls hatchery near Camp Sherman, Oregon. The fish, 21 '4 inches in length, was one of 6,445 released at that time approximately 4 miles down stream from the hatchery. It had returned to within 20 feet of the pond in which it was reared. Illustrating the amazing homing in stinct possessed by so many wild creatures. The game commisson has em barked on a program of building Up the summer steeihead fishery on the Deschutes River system and in the Metolius through annual releases of yearling fish. Anglers can look forward to improved steel- head fishing In those waters this year.

In this last-gasp move, 127 Demo crats were reinforced by 48 Repub licans and 1 Independent. They were beaten by 150 Republicans and 61 Democrats. Earlier, House Republican lead ers had sought without success to put through a compromise amend ment designed to permit the ad ministration to erect 70,000 units over the next two years. They as sured the House this would be ac ceptable to the President and they buttressed this with a promise to take a later look at the second half of the original 140,000-unit plan. Though defeated in this, admin istratiou leaders claimed that leg islation already on the law books gives Eisenhower the right to start 35,000 low-rent units, already under contract, In the year that opens July 1. There is, however, some contrary opinion on this point. Southerners, manning the front line against public housing forces, denounced the program as "social istic." They asserted it "made tie people wards of a bureaucratic state." PUBLIC HOUSING Publio housing is rented below cost to low-income families. A gov ernment subsidy makes up the resulting loss. During preliminary skirmishing in the House, Democrats tried to cancel out a proposed reorganiza tion of the Federal National Mort gage Assn. (PNMA). This agency buys mortgages from lenders and others to support the mortgage market. The administration reor ganization proposal, incorporated in the bill, would gradually shift the agency from government to private ownership. Democrats con tended the agency's usefulness would be destroyed in the process. They lost. 149-139. As passed, the bill would permit these reductions of minimum down payments on homes as valued by FHA: on a 112,000 home, from the present $2,400 to $1,000; on i $15,000 house, from $3,000 to $1,750 and on a $20,000 home, from $4,000 to $3,000. This down payment reduction authority is permissive, not man datory. It is up to the President to determine how far to go within legal limits. FHA MORTGAGES Also in the home-buying field, the bill would allow the President to extend the repayment period for all FHA mortgages on both new and old homes to 30 years. This would result in lower monthly payments. At present, the repcy ment periods Tange from 20 to 30 years. FHA mortgages on most older homes run only up to 20 years. Further, the legislation would encourage home improvements by boosting the limit on FHA insured loans for this purpose from $2,500 to $3,000 and by extending the maximum possible term from tnree to live years. i The legislation would broaden the government's attack on slums by providing federal help for Im proving deteriorated areas, as well as outright slum clearance and re building assistance. It also would permit more liberal insured loans for private firms working to Im prove blighted areas. And for families whose dwell ings are being torn down in slum clearance projects, the bill would offer insured no-down-payment loans for purchase of new houses of up to $7,600 in low cost areas and up to $8,600 in areas of high rent. Such families would have 40 years to pay off these loans. Naming of Air Cadets Asked WASHINGTON Ut The Air Force asked each senator and rep resentative in Congress Friday to nominate up to 10 candidates for Its new Air Force academy. The request came just a day after President Eisenhower signed the bill authorizing the school. The site has not been picked, but the first class will open July 1, 1955. Even if the school is not built by then, the bill permits the Air Force to open it in temporary quarters. From the nominations by mem bers of Congress, the Air Force will pick, by examination, a total of 255 students for the first class. Forty-five other students will be admitted from other sources. States will be allotted students according to the number of mem bers of Congress they have, the Air Force explained. The bill creating the new acad emy supplies authority to spend 126 million dollars on It, Including 26 million to do preliminary work and start classes in temporary quarters. It also authorizes the secretary of the Air Force to appoint a five man commission to choose the site. If the decision is unanimous, he is bound by the decision. Other wise he. Is to choose one of the locations recommended by a ma jority. r: SHASTA-CASCADE CONSERVATIVE BAPTIST Association members gathered for 'he sixth annuel meeting Thursday and Friday at Immanual Baptist Church.

HI Thomas Evans Riddle, private in the Army of Tennessee, dough- ty admiral in the Nebraska Navy, and proud colonel of the Confeder ate Air Force, is dead today. Just two weeks shy of his 103th birthday. Riddle died last night Firms Given Screen Order The Oregon State Game Com mission has requested the Pacific Portland Cement Company and the California Oregon Power Com pany to screen the turbine Intakes at their respective power plants on the Rogue river not later than the end of the low flow period in the fall of 1955. Substantial losses of fish at the Pacific Portland Cement plant at Gold Hill were definitely estab lished in 1953 and had been demon strated in previous years. The company has been provided with plans lor the screen type desired. It is believed that the destruction of fish at the Gold Hill turbines is one of the greatest single contribu tors to the decline of summer steel- head and to the decimation of oth er species in the Rogue River. The California Oregon Power Company plant at Gold Ray is responsible for the injury of at least 10 per cent of the down stream migrant salmon and of most of the adult steeihead pass ing through the station. Flans for the type of installation necessary at the Gold Ray plant have been prepared. . The condition of the various fish eries of the Rogue River makes It Imperative that protection of downstream migrants be an ac complished fact at the earliest pos sible date. Further unnecessary delay can only result In acceler ated decimation of the fisheries. Oregon Airman Dies In Crash CASABLANCA, French Morocco Wt U. S.

The white-haired little man with Uie shy, pixie smile had been Hi since January. First, he had pneu monia, then a falling heart, but his grim battle for survlvul as tounded doctors. They said old age killed him. He died at the Texas Confeder ate home for men where he had ployed dominoes, met old friends and newsmen, and stayed in bed most of the time since January 1950. He had wanted to live to be 110 and to die at his home in Wichita Falls, Tex. He Is sched uled to be burled, his inmlly said today, at Burkburnctt, Tex. When hus not been decided. Riddle, for 18 months of the Civ 11 War, served as a private In Co. 1, 22nd Regiment, Army of Tennessee. He liked to tell of his days under Robert E. Lee and kept picture of the Southern com mander over his bed. Five times I thought my life was not worth a minute, " he re called. "Snipers were shooting at me from the tops of trees. I didn't know I was hit, but my general says to me, 'Thomas, you're full ot bullets.' and I looked and had been shot five times in my side." Besides his other mythical titles. Riddle also held colonelcies on the staffs of the governors of Texas and Louisiana. He proudly pointed i to framed citations on the wall of his room here attesting to his various "ranks." But the biggest events In his re cent years were his birthday par ties. With a clean shave, a Con federate tie and polished slippers he sat on the side of his bed and cheerfully received his guests. Al though he could barely hear, even with a hearing aid, he always had answers to questions. He was tickled pink when he received several proposals for marriage last year after a lawyer filed a claim for him for part of a multi-million dollar raco horse fortune. The petition said the old soldier was a half brother of Man O'War's owner, the late Samuel D. Riddle. The "colonel" had been married three times. "Outlived two of them and divorced another," he would say with shining eyes. Of the four survivors of the bloody War between the States. Walter W. Williams, 111, of Frank lin, Tex., Is the oldest.
