House Approves
Wheat Extension
WASHINGTON (AP) A House
Agriculture subcommittee Thurs
day approved a senate-passed bill
extending a special durum wheat
quota in the Tulelake area of
California for another two years.
The measure would permit
homesteaders in the Tulelake Ir

acres of durum wheat this year
and next.
Rep. Harold T. Johnson (D
Calif), James G. Stearns, chair
man of the Tulelake durum wheat
committee, and Kenneth Baghott.
University of California agricul

this year's plantings in the area
would be restricted to 15 acres

For Jet Plane
PORTLAND (AP)-The search
for a supersonic jet fighter that
vanished on a landing approach
to Portland Air Base turned today
to Northern Clark County in
Washington.
The plane, an F102A "Delta Dag
ger" with one man aboard, had
reported at 4,000 feet and was
cleared to come down to 3,000 feet
Thursday when it dropped off a
control tower radar screen.
Authorities said reports from
residents ot the Clark County area
north of Battle Ground indicated
the jet might have crashed in that
area. A ground and- air search
was started at dawn.
A Portland Air Base spokesman
said the pilot was not from Ore
gon. He said the plane was from
the 406th Fighter Interceptor
Squadron and was on a routine
training flight from the base.
A Federal Aviation Agency
spokesman said the pilot started
a final approach from 20,000 feet
ever Newberg. He said it was not
a ground controlled landing and
as the plane dropped down "for
some reason or the other he dis
appeared." "He was making what we con
sider a normal approach," the
FAA man said. "T h e first we
knew that anything was wrong he
was left of the on course. We
were unable to locate him with
our radar or our direction finding
equipment. He ceased to answer
our call. The only thing we could
assume was that he had left our
control."
Two helicopters probed the area
between Newberg and Sauvies
Island in the Columbia Thursday,
but failed to find anything by
dark. Worsening weather also
hampered the search.

Lava Spewed
By Volcano
KAPOHO VILLAGE, Hawaii
(AP) Kilauca volcano, after de
stroying a village, was spewing
more lava than ever today over
the ravaged countryside of this
southeast Hawaiian island.
It buried most of this once-thriv
ing village of 300 people under a
flaming 20-foot thick carpet of
lava Thursday. Only eight small
wooden buildings stood amidst a
sea of charred and still-smoulder
ing homes and buildings.
Volcanologist. Wayne AuJt esti
mated the lava flow covered two
square miles of fertile forest lands,
sugar cane fields, papaya fruit
and coffee plantations. He said he
saw no end in sight for the erup
tion.
Ault said the rate of lava output
Thursday and early today was
twice as great as any previous
outpouring since the eruption be
gan Jan. 13.
Three roaring fountains poured
millions of cubic yards of liquid
flame into a black-crusted river
about 4,000 yards wide.
About one mile to the south is
e community of 40 attractive
beach homes, strung out along
Waiakea Bay. Rock gardens and
fish ponds decorate many of the
yards. Today they are all aban
doned in the face of the relentless
lava flow.

wrong with these kids."
It was Vivian Gilbert, "Sandy"

as she- did, Sandy - had iaith

of the past week have justified
her faith.
Last Friday Sandy's doctor said
he had found a tumor. Worse,
there was an ugly hint that can
cer was present. A major opera
tion was ordered.
Miss Gilbert tried to keep the
news from her teenage customers.
But the secret became common
knowledge as the 31-year-old
Sandy's fellow employes quietly
passed the word that Sandy faced
major surgery, perhaps death
from cancer.

visited Sandy at the hospital.
We rang doorbells. We tapped

Some .of us skipped a couple of

"In the final analysis, public or

said in a radio broadcast sent to
France and Algeria.
"The means to he used so that
force remains on the side of the
law may be of various sorts. But
your duty is to succeed so that
strength remains on the side ot
tne law. I have given, and I give
that order."
He said the settlers of Algeria
had asked him to retract his pol

territory and "that 1 will not do."
He called the insurgents on the
barricade of Algiers guilty men

To give in to them would be to

In between the two contending
lorces, President Charles de

situation that threatens his gov
eminent and its tenuous hold on
this strategic North African area.
The rebel government-in-exile
called via Radio Tunis for Mos

army to desert to the nationalist
guerrilla forces. It urged the nine
million Moslem civilians, wooed
by both De Gaulle and his right
ist French foes, to sit tight for
the present.
At the same lime, the national
ist command, pursuing its five-
year war for independence from
France, ordered all rebel army
units to remain vigilant "in case
there is need to protect the civil
population of Algiers, or in case
there is an attack by the insur

But the insurgents were uncon

Asian flu has now been con
firmed in 14 stales and the Dis
trict of Columbia. One isolation
of Type B influenza virus in Lou

Dr. W. J. Mogabgab of Tulane
University, New Orleans.
The 14 states in which Asian
has been confirmed are Califor

Timber Sale
Changes Asked
WASHINGTON, (AP) - The
Interior Department Thurs
day submitted to Congress pro
posed legislation which would
simplify sale of timber grown on
Indian trust lands.
One proposed change would au
thorize the department to enter
into timber sales contracts or
tracts in multiple ownership with
the approval of those owning a
majority interest.
The representatives are Dele
gate General Paul Dclouvrier, the
civil administrator, and Gen.
Maurice Challe, the military com.
mander in chief. They were lirst
reported to be at Blida, 25 miles
southwest of the city. Today word
circulated that they had set tip
headquarters at a French air
biise near Raghaia, five miles
closer to Algiers.
Raghaia is 20 miles southeast
of this city on the road to Con
stantino. An official of the City Council
announced over Radio Algiers
that "the people" had occupied
City Hall.
Road Projects
Near Klamath
Get Approval
Two projects approved bv the
State Highway Commission yes
terday will close glaring gaps in
Oregon's share of the fast-develop
ing vvinnemucca-to-thc-Sca High
way. The projects are on either side
of Klamath Falls. One project, to
cost J2I5.00O, would grade the Adcl
Greater Basin section of the high
way in Lake County. The other,
to cost $!)00.ooo. would grade and
lightly surface 10 miles of a high
way between Lakc-of-the-Woods
and Mecltord.
Details of the projects were not
available today. However, the
Lake-or-thc-Woocls section probably
is the forest road leading from
he north end of the lake throuch
McAllister Springs toward Eagle.
Point, not the Dead Indian Road
to Ashland. The McAllister Springs
road has been projected as a link
in the Nevada-Oregon route to the
coast.
The two projects announced by
the Slate Highway Commission
are scheduled for the next fiscal
year, beginning July 1. Their ad
dition to slate highway plans
brings Oregon's contribution
to the Winnemucca highway to
$1,446,000 plus a great amount o(
work Lake County has done vir
tually unaided north and west from
the Nevada border.
Oregon's work on the Winne
mucca highway, at least those
new sections east of Lakcview, it
for grading only. Early this month
Nevada let a contract for. about
$200,000 to complete gradlnS and
paving its extensive section of the
road. By August Nevada's all
paved section from Dcnio west
lo the Oregon border 46 miles
away should be completely paved.
Planning a Winnemucca-to-ths-
Sea Highway has been in prog
ress for at least 10 years. Its
purpose is lo provide a surfaced,
all-wcalher route from U.S. 40 at
Winnemucca lo the Northwest. The
present route from the East to
the Northwest requires driving
over Ihe Sierra Nevada Mountains
to Sacramento and up the Sacra
mento Valley through Redding.
