The budget provides for expend

It will be balanced by draining
the general fund the account
from which the state pays day

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee Friday accepted a
proposal by Sen. John F. Kennedy

Then the committee approved

"If sight of sand and sky and
sea has given respite from your
daily cares, then pause to thank
Oswald West, former governor of
Oregon (1911-1915). By his fore
sight, nearly 400 miles of the ocean
shore was set aside for public use
from the Columbia River on the
north to the California border on
the south. This marker is erected
and dedicated by the grateful citi
zens of Oregon to commemorate
this outstanding achievement

Soldier Dead
Approach U. S.
WASHINGTON (fl Two war
ships carrying the bodies of three
unknowns of World War II and the
Korean War were steaming Satur
day toward a rendezvous off the
Virginia capes.
There two of the dead will be
nicked on Monday for burial at
Arlington National Cemetery here1
on Memorial Day beside the un
known soldier of World War I.
The destroyer Blandy, west
bound from a Mediterranean port
with- the body of an unknown of
World War II from the European
area, was in the Western Atlantic
Saturday. ,
The guided missile cruiser Bos
ton cleared the U. S. naval base
at Guantanamo, Cuba, Friday
with the bodies of an unidentified
man from the Pacific theatre in
World War II and of a Korean
War unknown. The two bodies
were flown to Guantanamo from
Hawaii.
The Boston was at a point
approximately east of Key West,
Fla Saturday morning. The Bos
ton and the Blandy will meet Mon
day about 25 miles east of Nor
folk, Va.
In the ceremony Monday, a
selection will be made from the
identical caskets containing the
bodies of the European and Pari
fic area unknowns. The man not

American officials showed little

The Nationalist Defense Minis
try warned Friday that it will
"interdict the movement',' of any
Communist Chinese troops into the
Indonesian area.
Informed sources said the Na
tionalist statement apparently was
issued without prior consultation
with the United States, which is
helping support President Chiang

"It looks like an exercise in
sovereignty on the part of the Na

"We are not taking it too serious

no one has moved yet."
But Nationalist China's Central

trol.
Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R -
Ind) told reporters:
"I think our own people are
pretty well sold on the idea we
ought to take their (the Soviets!
nations away from them just as
the Communists are trying to take
our Latin American friends into
the Soviet camp."
Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont)
assistant Democratic leader, said
the Kennedy proposal is "an at

ders that may occur within the
Soviet orbit," and help nations
that wish to get away from Com

Under the amendment, the Pres

ity by enabling "freedom loving
peoples" to achieve a measure of
independence from Soviet or Red
Chinese domination or control, (2)
strengthen their capacity to main

ic dependence on the Soviet bloc
in their efforts for further free

Ihe President would be re
quired to report any such determ

ate congressional committees.
The amendment would confine
the Battle Act s prohibitions
against American aid to three
countries Soviet Russia. Red Chi

The bill provides a total of
$3,062,900,000 in new aid authori

over under previous law bring the
over-all total to $3,707,100,000.
One amendment adopted by the

nations in helping neutral India
complete its economic develop

Still another amendment would
bar U.S. military assistance to
Latin American nations for pre
serving "internal security."
An outgrowth of mob attacks on
Vice President Nixon in Venezue
la and elsewhere, it is aimed at
preventing a dictator from using
such aid to crush internal opposi

Cost Of Love
Hits New Top
CHICAGO W An attorney's
plea that "you may wonder if any
woman's love is Worth $490,000"
helped win the case Friday for
his client, a Chicago physician.
A circuit court panel deliber
ated less than an hour, and award
ed the $490,000 judgment to Dr.
Leser Odell, 47. Odell had sued
Dr. Emerson McVey, 46, a life
long friend and best man at his
wedding, for alienation of his
wife's affections.
Court observers called the
award by the panel of seven worn
en and five men the highest ever
returned by an Illinois jury in such
a case.
"You may not think a woman's
love is worth $490,000, but it genu
inely was to the doctor. This other
man (McVey) was his best friend
. . . and betrayed him. Attorney
Sol Friedman said.
"I ask you members of the jury
to serve notice to the world that
the commandment, 'Thou shall not
covet thy neighbor's wife,' is a
commandment to be kept."
Dr. Alcvey, now an obstetrician
residing in Reno. Nev.. entered no
defense in the case. He did not
appear in court Friday.
Odell testified McVey frequent
ly visited him and his wife,
Elaine, 30, and sometimes took
her to plush night spots.
Friedman said a daughter was
born to Mrs. Odell April 5 and
that a blood test showed Odell was
not the father.
McVey was divorced from his
wife in 1956. Odell's wife has filed
a divorce suit charging cruelty
and desertion. Odell, in a cross
bill, charges her with adultery and
names McVey as co-respondent.
Auto Workers
Take New Vow
DETROIT (UP) - United Auto
Workers President Walter P. Reu
ther vowed Saturday the giant un
ion will sign no auto contracts with
out better unemployment benefits,
pensions and job transfer protec
tion. If General Motors, Ford and
Chrysler continue to stand pat on
their two-year contract renewal of
fer, Reuther said the union will
stall bargaining all summer, or
until the companies must start
1959 model production.
Next week the big three auto
contracts start running out and
Reuther's ultimatum to the com
panies was plain:
Bargain on matters "which can
not be deferred," or accept the
chaotic" consequences while 500,-
000 employes work through the
summer on a day-by-day basis,
with or without a contract.
A strike after contracts termi
nate Friday midnight at General
Motors and June 1 at Ford and
Chrysler, Reuther said, would be
"insane" in the face of a recession
and 800.000 unsold new cars.
He expressed the union's convic
tion that the companies will not
lock out the workers because they
have a "moral responsibility" to
keep the plants open.

Claim Junked
Mansfield approved dismissal of
charges against John C. Breckin
ridge Friday. He told Circuit
Court: i
"It is my policy to consult with
the prosecution witnesses before
recommending dismissal. I made
an effort to consult with them . . .
they are not found."
He noted a sheriff met a similar
problem trying to serve the war
rant on Breckinridge in 1862.
Breckinridge was a general com
manding a Confederate infantry
division. The sheriff reported him
not found.
Breckinridge later served the
South as secretary of war.
He had been vice president at
35. He ran for president against
Abraham Lincoln, then won a U.S.
Senate seat in 1860.
The Senate expelled him in 1861
for joining the Confederacy.
He was indicted after Kentucky
made it illegal for this state to
enter the war. The indictment
stood until dismissal was asked
by the Civil War Round Table,
a group interested in the war's
history.
After the war, Breckinridge fled
to Cuba, then to Europe. Granted
amnesty, he returned here in 1869.
He practiced law until his death
in 1875.
Japanese Dies
In Hotel Fall
SAN FRANCISCO (UP)-Police
decided Saturday that the death of
a prominent Japanese scientist
whose body was found beneath the
open window of his second floor
hotel room was "either suicide, ill
ness or accident."
The scientist, Dr. Masashi En
ami, 44, a professor of the Uni
versity of Gunma near Hiroshima,
died of a fractured skull, presum
ably from the fall from his hotel
window.
Enami had checked into the
Kusano Hotel at 11:55 p.m. Thurs
day, several hours after arriving
by air in ban francisco from
Japan.
He had planned to fly straight
through to New York, but he com
plained of feeling ill.
Passersby found his body on the
sidewalk at 1:10 a.m. He had
landed on his head.
Coroner Henry Turkel called the
homicide squad into the case after
he found what looked like suspi
cious bruises on Enami's throat
and groin.
But homicide inspector Walter
Kracke - concluded Enami had
opened the window of his hotel
room and had fainted or had a
heart attack.

California is torn by a bitter
battle over water.
There is NO NEED for Califor
nia to fight over water.
Enough water falls every year
in California to take care of Cali
fornia's water needs. The trouble
is that the bulk of it falls in the
north. So it has to be saved up
in the north. What Southern Cali.
fornia should do is to build the
storage facilities that are needed
in the north to save up the excess
water that falls in the winter.
That would solve the whole prob
lem. So far, the Southland has re
fused to do that.

Agricultural
Tax Disputed
PORTLAND un State Rep.
George Annala (D-Hood River)
said Friday that a 1957. state
agricultural tax exemption la
unfairly shifts the burden of tax
ation from agricultural to non-
agricultural land.
Testifying before a subcommit
tee of the Legislative Interim
Committee on Taxation, he argued
that the bill was passed because
of political pressure from "a high
otticial in our state government.!!
He mentioned jio names.
The law provides exemption
from taxation for agricultural
trees, shrubs, plants and crops.
The measure was defended bjr
State Sen. Walter Leth (R-Mon-
mouthl, who said it corrected
what had been an unfair situation.
Another subcommittee met Fri
day night to consider a sales tax
designed to bring local school
property tax relief.
The group voted to ask the state
Department of Education to workf'.
on a formula for distribution o(
funds from such a proposed tax.
The committee also discussed
how much the Legislature might
best retain control of sales tax
revenue, and how local control ol
schools could be best maintained
if such a law were effective.
