Stowaway Discovered NEW YORK (AP) Leonard Calvert III, 17. is minus his bank account as well as a contemplated stowaway trip to Europe. Leonard, who just completed his junior year at University High School, Los Angeles, Calif., had formulated a plan to get abroad this summer. First, he quietly obtained a passport. Then, on the eve of going to a camp near his home. he withdrew his $115 savings and bought a plane ticket to New York. He bade his parents goodbv and flew here Tuesday. They thought he was at camp. Yesterday he walked aboard the liner He de France alter paying the 50-cent admission charge for persons visiting the ship bclore it sails. He hid in a washroom as the ship got under way. About 20 minutes later, a purser found him, questioned him and called author ities. Leonard was brought back in a tug. Commented the youth: "I never thought it would cost me $115 for a tugboat ride. Health Board Plans Survey The state board of health re cently announced plans for an ex tensive survey of Oregon coastal areas during next week's minus tides because of a possible off shore invasion of tiny plankton which occasionally makes un cleaned clams dangerous for hu man or animal consumption. Thomas Blair, state health de partment supervisory sanitarian said the state fish commission plans tn submit samples of shell fish from Oregon coastal waters for laboratory examination during the next few days, and state board of health sanitarians will follow the minus tides down the coast for on-the-spot checks all next week Any findings of possible danger areas will be reported promptly through the press, radio and tele vision industries, he promised. Blair said low levels of toxi city" have been detected recently in clams taken from Southern Ore gon beaches, and a cat reportedly died after eating digestive organs taken from clams in the Coos Bay area several weeks ago. No marine mussels should be eaten "under any conditions" dur ing this time of the year. Blair wanned. Clams can be made safe for consumption by removing all dark portions which contain the toxin. These dark portions should be destroyed completely and never be fed to domestic pets or fowl. The seafood sometimes develop the strychnine - liko toxin after feeding on a plankton called G catanella, source of the so-called red tide." Reputable commercial packers are aware of the danger and do not allow any of the poisonous seg ments of the clams to enter the open market, Blair said.

House Kills Big Farm Bill WASHINGTON (AP) The House killed a multi-billion dollar farm bill Thursday. Its critics had denounced the measure as a bread tax on consumers. A coalition of Republicans and Democrats from Northern big city districts voted against permitting the bill even to reach the floor of the House for debate. The omnibus measure, labeled an "economic monstrosity" by Secretary of Agriculture Benson, was backed by House Democratic farm leaders. But the House, riding rough shod over appeals of its sponsors lo "give the farmer his day in court." refused to allow the big catch-all meare to reach the floor. The toll ca" vote was 214-171. Sponsors had conceded in ad vance they had little chance of putting the bill over without drastic changes Republicans were primed with a ...u- i ...Ui-i. 1J J..,! siiuauiuie uiii muni wuuiu utra. only with emergency extension of some existing programs now due lo expire June 30. The Eisenhow er administration wants these con tinued. They include extension of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act, which provides for overseas disposal of American farm surplus; the school milk pro gram, and possibly some other ex piring programs. The House bill would have set up new three-year programs for cotton, wheat, rice, milk and feed grains. Among other things it would have provided: A domestic partly, or two- price, plan for wheat. This would afford wheat growers 100 per cent of parity for wheat sold for do mestic food consumption, and free market prices for the rest. The program would be financed by a complicated system of production and marketing certificates, by which the ultimate consumer rather than the government would foot the bill. A self-help plan for dairy farm ers. This would be a self-financing operation designed to insure farm er s 90 per cent of parity prices. A three-year extension of the na tional wool act and its program of subsidy payments for domestic wool producers. Ship Accident Probe Begins NEW YORK (API Three official agencies pressed investi gations today into the cause of Ihe crash of a Swedish freighter and a small oil tanker that turned a large expanse of the East River into an inferno.

S. -owned foreign currencies. The big bill, over which all dif ferences were thought to have been settled last week when Sen ate and House conferees agreed un a luinpi umise uui, is Dam in the laps of the conferees again. They met for three hours yes terday, and decided to meet again today in a further effort to get together. They locked horns over House objection to a Senate provision approving the use of some foreign currencies tor scientific and health projects overseas in coop eration with other nations. The provision, originally agreed to by the House conferees, ran into House objections that it amounted to an appropriation in an authorization bill. House rules call for separate legislation for each. The Senate conferees offered to put in additional language mak ing clear that any such use of the foreign currency would be sub ject to subsequent appropria tions. That would clear up the techni cal objection. Sen. John Spark man ID-Ala', a Senate conferee, told a reporter. But the House con ferees insist on striking out the provision entirely, he said.
