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

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.
The Coast Guard and the city
police and fire departments in
quired into various angles of the
collision under Manhattan Bridge.
A Coast Guard spokesman said
a formal hearing probably will be
held tomorrow. He indicated that

key witness.
Officials said Ihe strong tides
and currents in the river separat
ing Manhattan and Rrooklyn ap
parently have dissipated the dan
gerous films of gasoline spewed
from Ihe sunken American tanker
Empress Bay.
The river wa.i closed to all traf
fic for several hours.
The tanker exploded and burned
after the crash. A hole was stove
in the bow of the freighter.
Two crewmen of Ihe 5.11-tnn

Gl Prisoners
'On Vacation'
BERLIN (AP) Communist
East Germany reported Thursday
that nine U.S. Army prisoners are
living in comfort on an enforced
vacation.
Deputy Foreign Minister Otto
Winzor, who dealt with the United
Slates in the case, said the Armv
.l". ng aDS01me cor
" vanillin.
In an exclusive interview. Win
zer gave this first report on the
handling of the American prison
ers who strayed across the bor
der in a helicopter early this
montn.
The East German official ex
pressed confidence that Moscow
would reject the latest U.S. de
mands for intervention to release
the prisoners.
Winzer said his regime stood
ready to return the men and their
helicopter quickly if a fully ac
credited U.S. government dele
gate would sign an agreement
covering the handover.
The United States has refused
to sign such an accord, holding
that it would imply diplomatic
recognition of the German satel
lite regime.
The nine men eight officers
and a sergeant from the 3rd Ar
mored Division in West Germany,
fell into East German hands June
7 when their helicopter became
lost in a storm.

Aid Measure
Spat Still On
WASHINGTON (AP) Presi
dent Eisenhowers $3,675,400,000
loreign aid program was caught
today in a jurisdictional wrangle
over the use of U. 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.

Kills Dairy Girl
A family heirloom pistol which
accidentally came within her reach
proved fatal yesterday to Barbara
Ann Rice. 5, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs, Donald W. Rice who operate
ihe Feed and Supply Store at
Dairy.
The unloaded .41 Derringer was
kept with two shells in a box on
top of a refrigerator in the Rice
home, where it was normally out
of reach for Barbara Ann. How

repainted, and furniture was
moved in such a way that the
little girl found her way to the
gun which she apparently loaded
herself.

shot. The mother ran to the side
of her daughter who had shot her
self in the chest; another daugn
ter, Suzanne, 15, called Peace Am

lines along California and Conger
avenues and other portions of the
rtest Side Bypass is not expected
to delay start of construction next
month, it was determined at a
meeting here yesterday.

to let the courts determine later
who must pay. Meanwhile, relo

will definitely not have to pay.

City Now Owns
Half Of Armory
The city now officially owns one
half the armory building on Main
street.
Before yesterday it didn t, even
though the city in 1930 sold $45,000
of bonds so it could build the arm
ory and own it half-and-half with
the county, who put up the other
half of the money.
Earlier this year, when main;
tenance costs at the armory came
up for discussion, it came to light
that the county inadvertently nev
er had deeded the city a half in
terest.
The situation was rectified yes
terday when Klamath County ourt
formally exercised the long over
due deed.
