brought Republican claims of "scare propaganda." “Democrats arc trying to get up ' a head of steam to make us look bad," said Senate Majority Leadler Frank D. Beadle. Williams said he still considered lan income tax as the “best longrange program" but acknowledged there was little hope for passage. There were three major alternatives: —A 1 per cent wholesale tax. A state property tax which Williams said is wanted "by nobody but nobody." —A series of "odds and ends” taxes on beer, tobacco, agricultural producing,industrial processing. insurance, and other items. The governor said he was hopeful there would be agreement this ’ week on a ne w tax program. I Enters Guilty Plea To Theft Os Guns EVANSVILLE, Ind.

Water Resources I Hearing In Detroit WASHINGTON (UPD-A special (Senate committee studying the ; nation's water resources will {move its investigation from dustdfy South Dakota to the Great : Lakes, for a hearing at Detroit on . Thursday. Sen. Philip A. Hart <D-Mich.) I said in a statement issued by his 'office here that Eastern states too ’often underestimate the water problem Studies indicate that by 1980 the demand for water in Eastern ’ states will have increased by 200 ' per cent, against a rise of about 50 per cent in Western states '“where people are most aware of the value of adequate water,” he said. ‘ “The projected needs of our domestic and industrial users of I water over the next 15 years are ’truly staggering,” Hart said. Representatives of state agen- ' cies and varying organizations in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Wisi consin, and of the Great Lakes I Commission, are scheduled to testify before the Senate committee jat its Detroit hearing. i Illinois Gov. William G. Stratton ’was invited to have a representative present, it was said, but there I was no indication that he would do so. Apparently, no invitation was 'sent to Chicago, which lost a tugi of-war with other Great Lakes Istates for permission to divert an ’additional 1,000 cubic feet of water I per second from Lake Michigan to ■solve the city's pollution problems. Congress refused to authorize the diversion. | Spokesmen in Hart's office said the committee hoped to concentrate on “broad policies” rather than, stir up the diversion controversy.' Indiana, according to information sent to the committee, expects the need for water to more than double by 1980. “This calls for improved, and especially faster, methods for accomplishing projects for basinj wide management of water resources in the public interest, Gov. Harold W. Handley wrote jthe committee. These, he said, include “reserivoirs for all possible benefits, I flood control works, low flow reg’ulation, soil-forest improvements >in relationship to water runoff or I retention, channel clearance, supplies, and especially pollution control." When it is opened W ber. the 21-story “House of Electricity" will be the tallest building in West Berlin,

18 Miraculously Escape Death In Air Crash SANTA MARIA, Calif. (UPD— The decisive action of a former combat officer and quick work by firemen led to the miraculous escape Monday night of 19 of the 20 persons aboard a Pacific Airlines twin-engine plane that crashed on takeoff. “It was a miracle that everyone was not killed,” said a fireman who was among the first at the scene. “They — everything, plane and passengers — were just floating in gasoline.” Co-pilot Joe Flanagan, 31, Mountain View, Calif., was killed and pilot Capt. Charles Craig, 42, San Mateo, Calif., was injured seriously. But all 18 of the others aboard escaped serious injury. There were 3 crewmen and 17 passengers aboard the Los Angeles to San Francisco craft. Calms Paseengers Phillip French, Pasol Robles, Calif 1 , a rancher and former combat Army captain, told newsmen that after the crash he turned to the other passengers and announced: "Everybody be calm. Just follow me.” The plane had smashed through some trees and nosed into the ground, leaving passengers looking “straight down." It’s gas tanks split and inflammable fuel was pouring out when French made his announcement. French spotted Mrs. Laura Hutchison, Hayward, Calif., holding her 8-month-old son Jeff in her seat several seats behind. Led To Safety “I took hold of the hand of a woman (Mrs. Hutchison) who was holding a baby and led her out the door,” he said. “The rest of them just followed. “I have been in many tight spots before, but never have I seen a group as calm as this one was,” French said. Fire engines from here and nearby Vandenberg Air Force Base missile facility rushed to the scene, played foam over the plane and prevented an explosion. Barbara Pace, 17, of 3257 Millview Oakland, Calif., said she saw a “flash on the right wing” just after takeoff when the plane was about 500 feet in the air. “The next thing I knew we had hit the ground,” she said. Investigators were attempting to determine cause of the crash-

Youth Is Acquitted In Stomp Killing NEW YORK (UPI) — A 15-year-old accused of the stomp killing of an elderly man in a Brooklyn park last July was acquitted Monday night t|/ an all-male jury. Peter Manceri had been accused of the killing of Edward Butler, 65, by Dorothy Stauf, 13, who said Butler scolded Manceri for necking with her in the park. She testified at the trial that Manceri beat and kicked Butler in the head in reprisal for the scoldingBut three other teen-age girls testified that the Stauf girl had told them she lied in saying Manceri had killed Butler. The jury’s verdict of innocent caused a furor in the courtroom. Friends of Manceri cheered and relatives of the dead man cried ‘‘oh, no.” Mrs. Irene Brush, 35. daughter of the dead man was shoved and fell to the floor. She was unconscious when police got to her. Mrs. Brush was treated at a hospital and released. She said she had had enough of the courts and wouldn’t name her assailant although she knew who it was.

New, Greater Area For Soybeans Use

A new and greater area for the I use of soybeans may well be op-| ening with the new commercial food protein plant dedicated today in Chicago by Central Soya. A decade of tireless research was necessary for today's event. But the importance of the research to the soybean raisers and processors may well increase the importance of soybean protein in human nutrition. Started In 1949 ‘‘lt was in 1949 that basic research was begun and continually pursued to develop the commercial isolation of a food grade soya protein,” Dr. Edwin Meyer, chemurgy research director, explained. Dr. Meyer heads a research staff that devotes its energies to making available in commercial form the various natural and valuable constituents of the soybean . . . thus providing new food and industrial outlets for the second largest cash crop produced by farmers. The chemurgy division's overall research program dates back to 1934 and includes the development of special products! for edible and industrial uses. Its first major achievement was the commercial isolation of soya protein for use as an adhesive in the paper industry. In 1937, chemurgy produced the first isolated vegetable protein ever to be manufactured on a commercial scale. Called “Alpha” protein, it found enthusiastic acceptance in the paper trade as an adhesive in pigment coated paper. New Proteins Since then, research has produced new, tailored proteins, each possessing unique qualities. For example, a special grade of “Alpha” protein permits sharper reproductions and lower ink consumption on offset paper, thereby helping manufacturer and user alike to meet today's competitive markets. Over the years, the research and development program has been working on new and improved products based on soybean derivatives such as soya flour and grits and soya lecithin. Examples of these new products include flours such as Soyafluff, Soyalose and Soyarich, which are used in bakery products, breakfast foods, prepared mixes, margarine, I macaroni, and infant foods to add ; protein and promote fat emulsifii cation. I

Spraysoy, Prosein, and Prosoy have been developed for industrial use in plywood glue, wallpaper coating, and in light duty abrasives. Protein For Livestock Protein supplements for livestock feed are also derived from the soybean and help to make pos- ( sible efficient production of meat, j milk and eggs. Lecithin is a special refined pro-1 duct having both industrial and ] food uses. It lengthens shelf life of paint, inhibits gum formation in petroleum products, acts as a mold release agent in molding rubber and plastic products, and is used in printing inks to improve color values and reduce the possibility of ink solidifying while stored. Helps Heart Patients In the food fields, lecithin is used in margarine as an anti-spattering agent. It also aids the bake-out qualities of prepared mixes, and when used in instant drinks improves their dispersibility and solubility. The pharmaceutical field useS special lecithin products in many injectables such as penicillin, streptomycin, and special intravenous soluations. A granular type RG Lecithin is being used as an aid in lowering blood cholesterol. Promine—which today is in commercial production—is being used widely throughout the food industry to improve the nutritional value and physical characteristics of cereals, baby foods, bakery products, confections and many meat and dairy products. It also has opened the door to the development and manufacture of many new and improved food products. This much and more has come from a long-range program of research. Now, what of the future? Norman F. Kruse, Central Soya vice president and technical director, believes the research staff has only begun. “We foresee the commercialization of many more new products from the soybean.” he declares, “for we in Central Soya have a vital interest in continuing a probing and expanding research program to foster and improve the utilization of our rich agricultural crop resources.” The famous song “HOrke on the Range” was written by Dr. Brewster Higley, a pioneer Kansas physician, in his cabin near Smith Center in 1871.

Met Opens Diamond Jubilee Season NEW YORK (UPD-The Metropolitan Opera opened its diamond 'jubilee season Monday night with a lukewarm new production of Verdi's “Il Trovatore” that had stiff competition from the mutual admiration society in the bar. The evening was saved from mediocrity by the met debut of famed Italian Mezzo Giulietta Simionato, moments of inspired singing by Antonietta Stella, Carlo I Bergonzi and Leonard Warren, and some of the loveliest cos'tumes ever designed for the hisItoric house. i Simionato lived up to her La Scala reputation as a rich-voiced singer of great artistry,- but her dramatic intensity in the role of the Gypsy Azucena fell short of that of Chloe Elmo, another great Italian diva who sang at the Met a decade ago. Simitnato got her share of bravas even if soprano Stella got all the roses. Action Is Slow Unfortunately for all the fine vocal talent involved, the gction was slow, the acting mannered and the orchestra under conductor Fausfb Cleva lacked the drive and excitement inherent in the beautiful score. "Il Trovatore” has been in the Met repetoire since the company’s first season, 1883, but it was never before selected for an opening night and perhaps for good reason. It is a contrived tale of babyswitching, murder, frustrated love, suicide, revenge and executions which fails to engross. “Darling, I've lost track of the plot,” was a frequent comment in ' Sherry's bar where business was brisk from dinner through four acts and three intermissions. Ogle Petty Women General Manager Rudolf Bing, now in his tenth year at the Met, has prided himself on gradually drawing the dressed-to-kill opening night crowds out of Sherry s, ' the club rooms and corridors and back into the theater. But Monday night there was a noticeable tendency to linger over 1 champagne cocktails and ogle pretty and famous women includ- ’ ing the Marchioness of London- ■ derry, Rosalind Russell, Alicia Markova, Ileana Butova, Greer Garson, Eleanor Searle Whitney, i and Faye Emerson. Bing could console himself with the near-record $86,287 poured into the till by 3,616 patrons who paid'as much as S4O for orchestra seats that normally sell for • 59,35 - Over 2,500 Dally Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day ______-
