Congress Opens;
Politics Top List
WASHINGTON (AP)-Congress
got back into business today. And
in this presidential election year
every member was certain of one
main item of business: Politics
Out of this final session of the
Eisenhower administration will be
hammered the fresher issues for
next fall's elections. It could
make or break the hopes of mem
bers aspiring to gain higher of
fice or hold what they have.
By FRANK JENKINS
Hodgepodge in the news:
A National Airlines plane with
84 persons aboard went down today
or. a non-stop flight from New York
to Miami.
The news has been full of plane
trouble recently. Does that mean
(hat plane travel is getting more
dangerous? Probably not. We can
assume that the real reason is that
there are more planes in the air.
There are more highway fatalities
because there are more cars on the
road.
Let's put it this way:
More people are being killed and
Injured by slipping in bathtubs. It
isn't that bathtubs are more dan
gerous. There are just more bath
tubs and more people taking baths.
Speaking of traffic:
George A. Walter, who invented
(he nation's first traffic signals,
died the other day" in Stratford,
Connecticut, at the age of 87.
His invention was a manually
operated contraption consisting of
a square box at the top of a pole.
Two sides of the box carried the
word GO. The other two sides car
ried the word STOP. The cop ma
nipulated it by means of handles.
When, in his judgment, traffic had
flowed long enough in one direc
tion, he changed the GO sign to
STOP. He had a barricade around
him to keep careless motorists
from knocking him for a loop.
A lot of water has flowed under
the bridge since then.

PITTSBURGH (UPI) A per-
son who is deaf finds it quite easy
to sympathize with someone in a
similar plight.
L. M. Meyers is deaf. So is
Bill.
Bill's case is sadder than most.
Bill is a puppy. And no one wants
a pooch that can't hear.
Bill was found on the streets
of Pittsburgh homeless and
nameless. He was taken in by the
Animal Friends refuge. They soon
discovered that Bill couldn't hear.
So did all prospective masters.
They were touched by the pathet
ic looks of this short-haired, fawn
colored pup. But a dog that
couldn't hear? Too many prob
lems. Meyers, the president of Radio
tar Corp. which manufactures
hearing aids, read about Bill in
a Pittsburgh newspaper.

Day's km
A consciousness of this stood out
clearly amid the handshaking,
backslapping, and good-fellowship
that always attend the reconven
ing of Congress.
Already plans are shaping up
for investigations in many fields
foreign affairs, defense policy,
television, outer space, drug prices
and boxing. Such hearings keep a
legislator's name before the pub
lic and sometimes influence votes.
Due for early consideration are
civil rights and aid to education
bills subjects that divide Con
gress, carry a lot of emotional
impact, and have political over
tones. Today's House and Senate ses
sions were limited to the formali
ties of reconvening and swearing
in new members.
President Eisenhower will come
up and deliver his annual State
of the Union message to a joint
session Thursday. The message
will set out in general terms what
he hopes to get from Congress.
Later, special messages will give
more details.
Before Congress convened there
was a hint that perhaps the Pres
ident is a little sensitive to pros
pective criticism of the gap be
tween U. S. and Soviet missile
progress.
In a brief, informal talk to offi
cials of his church the National
Presbyterian Eisenhower cau
tioned Americans against becom
ing, too hysterical about Soviet
achievements in outer space.
The President, Vice President

a tentative adjournment date
July 4, a week before the Demo
cratic national convention starts
in Los Angeles and three weeks
before the Republicans gather in
Chicago.
The annual cry for economy
came from Rep. Clarence Cannon
(D-Mo), chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee.
"The budget goes up and up
every year," complained Cannon
Tuesday night. "The interest on
the national debt goes up and up.
Wartime tax rates are kept in ef
fect and there is expectation of
cutting taxes.
"I am very much disappointed
at the size of the budget (about
81 billion dollars). It must be cut,

Speaker Sam
Celebrates
Birthday 78
WASHINGTON (UPI) - House
members of both political faiths
dusted off some of their warmer
superlatives for today's opening
session. This is Speaker Sam
Rayburn's 78th birthday, and the
SAM RAYBURN
members don't get a chance to
say all those nice things very
often.
Rayburn's birthday, like Ray-
burn himself, has become pretty
much of an institution around the
capitol, coming as it does on or
pretty close to the opening day
of each session.
Except for four years embrac
ing two Republican Congresses,
Rayburn has been speaker since
1940, longer than most members
of the House have been in Con
gress.
With so many of them behind
him, Mr. Sam naturally is not
quite as enthusiastic about birth
days as some other people. He
usually bears up well though un
der the kind words everybody has
for him on these occasions.
Although Rayburn is and al
ways has been an unqualified
and unrepentant Democrat, even
the Republicans speak highly of
him on his birthday, and some
times even between birthdays,
This time President Eisenhower
got into the act early, telegraph
ing the Texan last week, "I am
proud to have been born in your
congressional district."
As hard as this may be for
some folks here to believe, Ray
burn wasn't actually representing
the district at the time of Eisen
hower's birth. He's been in Con
gress not .uite 47 years, merely
an all -; time record for House
membership. He also shattered,
long ago, all records for tenure
i speaker.
Another ' prominent Republican
who doesn't always see eye to
eye with Rayburn is Rep. Charles
A. Halleck, the House Republi
can leader. Last March 4, when
Rayburn shattered one more lon
gevity record of some kind or an-
Lother, Halleck called him a "mag
nificent" speaker.

A fast-moving snow storm which

closed schools and disrupted tele
phone and power service. The
storms were blamed for at least
five deaths.
Nearly a foot of snow made a
wintry scene in parts of the South
land.
The far-ranging storm dumped
a snow covering that stretched
from eastern New Mexico, Okla
homa and the northern third of
Texas eastward through Arkansas,
southern Missouri and Tennessee
into Kentucky, southwestern Vir
ginia, the western Carolinas and
north Georgia.
Arkansas sloshed through the
biggest snowfall in 38 years. The

inches, by official reading, in Lit

in most of the slate.
Heaviest ' snow falls in years

All County Court Chiefs
To Be Chosen By Voters
Klamath County voters must
choose all three members of the
county court during this year's elec
tions.
So says an opinion from State
Attorney General Robert Y. Thorn
ton released late yesterday. Thorn
ton was asked for the opinion by
District Attorney Arthur Beddoe to
clarify Klamath County's unusual
election year dilemma
THE OPEN STATUS of all coun
ty court offices should add consid
erable interest to elections this
year, otherwise the county slate
includes the sheriff, county clerk,
assessor, and a justice of the peace
in the Odell District.
The filing deadline for all of
fices is 5 p.m. March 11. The pri
mary election is May 20: the gen
eral election November 8.
No members of the county court
chose to decide at this time wheth
er they would be candidates for
reelection, or for what offices. The
attorney general said voters must
elect a county judge for a full four
year term, a commissioner for a
full term, and another commission
er for a two-year term.
The situation developed last Jan
uary when former County Judge
Charles H. Mack resigned to be
come a state tax commissioner.
Bob Walker had just won election
as a county commissioner, and
was named judge to replace Mack.
Frank Ganong was appointed to
fill Walker's commission seat.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
opinion says both these offices
must be filled in the general elec
tion in November.

on the county court, was not in-

flights were canceled,
'flie storm, which reached bliz
zard intensity in parts of the
Southwest Tuesday, swept east
ward and heaviest snow during
the night was in Tennessee and
Kentucky.
The storm in the Southwest
forced schools to close, stalled
scores of motorists and made
driving hazardous. At least two
deaths were blamed on the storm
ir, the Southwest. Three others were
reported in the Southeast. Three
persons were missing in a pri
vate plane in the Southwest storm
belt.
Snow measured up to 10 inch
es in the central Texas Panhandle
and nearly a foot in parts of Okla
homa. Two to 6 inches fell in
New Mexico.
As the Southern areas battled
winter's first big snow storm, the
severe cold wave moderated in
some Northern regions. It was still
cold in other border areas.
It was cold in the Southwest
snow belt, as skies cleared in
New Mexico and western parts of
the Texas Panhandle. Tempera
tures dipped to near zero in the
Texas Panhandle.
But it was much colder in north
ern Minnesota as another surge
of arctic air swept in from Cana
da. It was near 20 degrees below

border as the early January cold
snap continued in many parts of
the Midwest.

ruary, but comes up for reelec
tion this year because his normal
term expires.
Just what county court members
must seek what offices, should they
choose to shift positions, apparently
was not made clear. Thornton said,
''Candidates for these offices will
be determined under provisions of
the primary election law."
It's still too far from filing dead
line for incumbents to express
their views on candidacy. The only
definite opinion about courthouse
corridors today was a feeling that
this year's county court election
should draw a large primary field.
Neither did other incumbents
choose to express their views.
These are County Clerk Charley
DeLap, now completing his fourth
four-year term in ofiice and back
on the job daily since a serious
operation last fall; Sheriff Red
Britton, completing his second four-
year term; and Assessor Hap Cald
well, finishing his first four-year
term.
THESE MEN WILL announce
their decisions later.
The only other county office on
this year's ballots will be that of
justice of the peace in the Odell
District. Richmond Walker was ap
pointed to the office late last year
after the death of E. W. Dunn.
It is understood the election will
be for a two-year unexpired term.
One additional cautionary note
was added by the attorney general
regarding the county court race.
It is imperative, he specified, "that
the general election ballot contain
the names of qualified candidates
and the proper write-in space for
two-year term and a four-year
term of county commissioner."

rived at the brilliantly decorated
Accra airport today on the first
leg of his lS.ooOmile fact-finding
tour through Britain's restive col
HAROLD MACMILLAN
onies and Commonwealth mem
bers in Africa.
Macmillan was greeted by
Ghana's Prime Minister Kwamo
Nkrumah, who led his country to
freedom nearly three years age
after being imprisoned by the
British.
Nkrumah noted that Macmillan
is the first British prime minis
ter to visit south of the Sahara
while in office. He said he hopes
the visit will strengthen good will,
not only for Ghana and the Unit
ed Kingdom, but for Africa and
the world."
Macmillan in reply said he had
come to see ana icarn.
About 2,000 Ghanians were at
the airport, some in brightly col
ored native robes.
Macmillan's talks with Nkru
mah are expected to deal mainly
with Ghana's relations with
Britainf. and particularly Nkru-
mah's plans to make Ghana a re
public within the British Com
monwealth, like India and Pakis
tan. This would elevate him to
the status of chief of state. At
present the Queen is the head of
state, represented here by a gov
ernor general.
The two leaders also are ex
pected to discuss Nkrumah's as
pirations to lead the emerging
African nations into a huge fed
eration of African states. One of
these, Nigeria, which becomes in
dependent in October, is next on
Macmillan's schedule.
After Nigeria, Macmillan goes
to the Central African Federation,
where Negro nationalists in the
Protectorate of Nyasaland are
trying to break away from their
federation with the white-domi
nated Rhodcsias.
The last step on his itinerary Is
the Union of South Africa, scat
of the continent's bitterest racial
issues. There will be a side trip
to the neighboring British terri
tories of Bechuanaland, Basuto
land, and Swaziland.

BOLIVIA, N. C. (AP)-A Na

non-stop from New York to Mi

aboard before dawn today in
swampy woodlands near here.
"There will not be any survi
vors," said Deputy Sheriff H. G.
Ratcliff.
Twenty five bodies had been
recovered by this afternoon.
Reporters on the scene said the
big plane appeared to have ex
ploded in the air and debris and
bodies were scattered over an
area of 20 acres.
The four-engine DC6B, making
one of two substitute flights carry
ing vacation - bound passengers
originally booked on a canceled
flight, struck earth 2',i miles
southwest of Bolivia, a hamlet 25
miles southwest of Wilmington.
The other substitute plane, an
Electra turbo-prop plane, reached
Miami safely with 76 passengers
and crew members.
The plane that crashed carried
29 passengers and a crew of five.
Its passengers included retired
Vice Adm. Edward Orrick Mc
Donnell, who held the Medal of:
Honor, and numerous oilier dec
orations for World War H service.
He commanded an aircraft car
rier in the Pacific.
Most of the passengers were
Easterners, bound for vacations
at Florida's sunny resorts.
The plane had been flying
through rainy weather.
The watch on the wrist of a
crew member found in the cockpit
was stopped at 2:45 a.m., indicat
ing that the crash occurred some
14 minutes after the pilot reported
in by radio. He indicated no trou
ble at that time.
The possibility that passengers
were aware of trouble before the
crash was seen in the fact that
a number of the victims were
clad in Mae West life preservers.
The life preservers on some had
been inflated.
A piece of the wing and most
of the ripped fuselage fell in a
field, while the cockpit struck in
woods 50 yards away.

gives assurance it Will maintain
adequate water levels.
Bennett made the statement as
he opened a conference of interior
officials, representatives of the
district, and interested legislators.
On Dec. 11, the department an
nounced it would take over part
of the Tulelake operation within
65 days because the district had
let the Reclamation Project's wa
ter level drop to such a low level
that wildlife in the region suf
fered.
Bennett reaffirmed that "unless
we are satisfied that the district
i3 prepared to meet these require
ments and can provide assurances
that it will do so, we intend to
resume operation of these fa
cilities."
The undersecretary said that
the district would be allowed to
suomit proposals to department
olficials. If they "fully meet wild
life conservation objectives while
serving the primary purpose of
protecting agricultural lands" the
department will consider them, he
said.
The meetings are expected lo

spending, which totals $2,021,000,-
000 in this fiscal year.
"I am happy to report that we
have restored fiscal integrity in

Water Supply
Outlook
Not Too Good
PORTLAND (AP)-The outlook.'
for Oregon's 1960 water supply
ranges from only fair to very poor,
W. T. Frost, snow survey super
visor, said today.
lie said that supplies of water
in reservoirs is below normal, that
watershed soils are drier than .
normal and that the mountain
snow pack is near a record low in
many portions of the state.
Frost, who works with the Soil
Conservation Service and the Ore
gon Agriculture Experiment Sta
tion, said that the water content
of the mountain snows was only
25 per cent of normal for Jan. 1,
Last year at this time, however.
Hie water conlent was even lower
17 per cent of normal. The snow
pack this year is poorest in the
Willamette and Hood River-Wasco
areas. The best snow pack, which
is only 39 per cent of normal, is
in Northeastern Oregon water
sheds. Normally, 37 per cent of the
winter's snow falls by Jan. 1. Thus
far Ibis year only 11 per cent of
tlie normal winter snow has ac
cumulated. In the northern third of the state,
mountain watershed soils were re
ported fairly well primed by fall
rains. But in the rest of the state,.
soils are exceptionally dry and
will soak up much of the snow
melt water before stream flows
can begin, Frost said. ,
He lid that water stored in 19
major irrigation reservoirs is now
fifl nwr ctmt nf tho avnrapp tnr th
yoars 1943 , lfl57 Tnat js hat of
lhe amount available for last year.-
Frost said that precipitation in
the state since Oct. ' 1 has been
only about half normal. It is much
less than in many areas.
All this indicates that there will
be below normal streamflow dur
ing the 1960 Irrigation season-
April through September unless
winter storms produce much
above average amount of snow.
The next in a series of snow
survey reports will be issued Feb.
8, Frost said.
