Pow el' New York Negro Demo crat. was approved tentatively a 164 to 116 teller vote late Tues day. It may be subject to a vot' Thursday, but it was though unlikely that the House would re verse itself.

Powell's amendment would deny school construction funds to south ern states that have not complied with the Supreme Court's decision against public school segregation Both President Eisenhower ani former President Harry S. Tru defeat of the man had 'urged amendment. Although Tuesday's action was a non-record vote, Democratic school bill leaders said many southern Democrats left the floor to avoid voting while Republicans supported Powell in great num. bers. Rep.

Augustine B. Kelley (D Pa), chief sponsor of. the bill, said this, was a maneuver to kill the bill. REPUBLICANS BLAMED Rep. Chet Holifield (D-Calif) laid the blame squarely on the Republicans.

He said their support ior the Powell amendment was "too overwhelming to be other than the result of a policy decision." "They decided to kill the bill, taking credit for voting for the Powell amendment and blaming Democrats for defeat of the bill, hr told a reporter. Bailey said southerners "laid down" on the vote and permitted the big Republican majority to" write the amendment into the bill. He said the measure might pass the House with the Powell amendment, but said it would be killed in the Senate where southerners are prepared to talk it to death In the waning stages of the session. Another leading backer of the measure, who declined of his name, also said the bill appeared dead for this session. Addition of the Powell amendment, he said, would mean cer- tai- death for the bill in the Senate even if the House approves it.

SAR Postpones Trek to Fort Hall Members of Pocatello chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, who had planned a trek to the site of Old Fort Hall iri the "Bottoms" today, postponed the excursion. Past President E. C. Phoenix who made a survey for the proposed trip reported, "too many mos- quitos." Last year the chapter sponsored a successful excursion to the site of the Old Fort Hall, and' following an inspection of the mon-l urnent on the site, staged a picnic on the banks of the Snake river. A similar excursion is being planned for Labor day of this year with a visit either to Fort Hall or some other historic point in Eastern Idaho.

Rodriguez, a 22-year-old Mexican national, as the slayer of the sheep shearing crew's acting foreman.

But, if. Rodriguez didn't shoot and kill Alvarado and a jury has decided he didn't then who did? By his own testimony, Rodriguez, in denying any guilt in the slaying, placed the purported murder weapon, a rifle, in the hands of Daniel Diaz seconds after the fatal shot Rodriguez's testimony also attributed motive to Diaz, a 17-year- old Coleman, sheep shearer. According, to Rodriguez, it was Diaz who had clouted Alvarado on the head with a stick, or similar object, causing the ex-Marine to grab a shotgun and vow he would 'kill the so-and-so" who struck him. Diaz was never asked on the witness stand whether h.e fired the shot that killed Alvarado. But Jose (Indian Boy) Tincajcars, a mystery figure in the case, did testify, upon questioning by defense attorney George Phillips, Pocatello, that rant charging the 17-year -old Tex pointed the everyone in the ninc- L-z.

She said she decided to take the last two weeks in June because another member of her staff had asked for a two-week vacation starting tomorrow.

Mrs. Higgins said she took her own vacation early so that she would be on hand when the bookmobile arrives sometime between July 15 and 19. Mrs. Higgins claimed she removed the typist from the staff after Miller had requested a reduction in the salary item in the library's budget. She said Miller called the girl back to work when he learned of her dismissal, saying Mrs.

Higgins had no authority to dismiss a staff member without board action. Mrs. Higgins also charged the library board could not know from its own investigation how the li brary is operated since members rarely go inside ihe library excep for board meetings once a month She also pointed out that the 3oard meeting was postponec times last month and tha finally no meeting was conducted since the board could not get a quorum of'three of its five mem- was authorized by city building permits last month, making it Ihe second bigaest June for building activity in Ihe past 10 years. Building Inspector Virgil G. Harriman said it possibly could be the second largest June in the city's history, because building permit records are not completely accurate prior to 1947.

Last month's construction totals were topped in the past decade only by June of 1949 when permits were issued for $468,527 worth of building- New dwellings accounted for the bulk of last month's activily. Nine permits were issued with a total value of $161,158. The biggest single construction project authorized was a $110,000 addition lo the First Baptist church. Totals for other construction classifications ircclude: Eight business alterations, 37 alterations to dwellings, one hotel alteration, $2000; two office alterations, $2323; one public garage alteration, $1900; four new private garages, $1600; 19 buildings and structures moved, $2600; three She said on one occasion when she called board vice chairman Irvin Maag to inform him that his presence was necessary to make a quorum, he replied that if he had customers in his store he would not be present. She reported this to Miller with he query as to whether the board would "chance" a meeting and Miller said no, Mrs.

Higgins said. Mrs. Higgins also charged that Miller "runs, the board." "If I can't contact him, my hands are tied," she claimed. She said when she has a prob- em and he is not available she eeks advice from other members if the board. However, she said, each case the other, board members refer her back to Miller.

WASHINGTON A bill to authorize payment of compensation for death or disability from the use in faulty batches of polio vaccine last year was introduced in Congress yesterday by Sen. Herman Welker (R-ldaho). Under the bill, payments would amount to a maximu of $20,000 for the death of any individual, a max. imuni of $10,000 for pennament disability and $6500 for disability not permanent in nature.

To be eligible for the compensation, persons would have had to have contracted polio prior to June 1, 1955 and within 30 days after receiving one or more injections of vaccine or contracted the disease from someone infected in that man- ier The secretary of health, education and welfare would be author- izen to receive and provide for the payment of any claim filed within 180 days after passage of the bill. The bill asked congress to assume "compassionate responsibility" on the part of the nation for death and disability resulting "from vaccine-caused polio. complexities of an investigation. Clearly, the shooting is a mystery that will take more than casual detective work to solve. But the state shows no inclination to expend more time seeking a solution and even if new evidence were accidentally uncovered, it seems unlikely that the slate would seek a trial for the man the evidence might point toward.

For one thing, a would it do for witnesses? Rodriguez is on his way home to Mexico, while other members of the itinerant sheep shearing crew are scattered to the four winds. Another point: Why go to expense of hunting for witnesses and bringing them back to testify at a trial thai probably would bring a verdict of "justifiable homicide" no punishable crime under Idaho law. After all, what other verdict could a jury return in the case of a man killed while carrying a loaded shotgun and shortly after he himself vowed to du murder. So, unless Alvarado's slayer confesses of his own volition, the sheep shearer's death seems destined to go clown in history as another of Idaho's unsolved murders. iiu'rcial daimgd a i i a which 128 lives.

Many in Area Get Polio Shots Parental apprehension over Salk anti-polio serum in Bannock, Birig- ham, Butte and Caribou counties is diminishing, according to Dr. J. E. Wyatt, director of the Southeastern District Health Department. His statement was based on a tabulation which showed that about 12,000 shots of the vaccine have been administered to children in the four counties in the past two months.

Dr. Wyatt, said that about 8000 doses were distributed free to phy. sicians through his department. He estimatednhat doctors in the four counties administered another 4000 shots which were obtained from commercial sources. Those distributed by the department came from the State Health Department, which purchased them with its own funds and with money made available by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.

They had gone together while the Margelts family lived here, until moving to Sunnyvale two years ago. She had returned to Utah three weeks ago for a church dance festival and remained to visit a sister and prepare for her September wedding. The route from Salt Lake City to the reservoir had been traced many times by ground and aerial searching parties but the wrecked car remained hidden until last evening.

The 22-year-old railroader was struck by a car as he walked along Highway 91-191 in the vicinity of the Gibson community on the Indian reservation. Bingham County Sheriff Everett Goodwin, who investigated, said there were no clues as to the make of car involved.

All efforts to reach the sceuc ot the wreckage of the United DC7 have failed thus far, but the bodies of two men and a woman found near Ihe bed of Ihe Little Colorado River were flown in a helicopter to the Grand Canyon airport morning.

VETERAN CLIMBERS Remains of the 70 victims ot the TWA Super Constellation, which "positive evidence" shows collides with the UAL plane, were removed in 26 bags Monday and Tuesday and taken to Flagstaff, where a temporary morgue was being maintained. Identification experts believed positive identification may be impossible.

Four veteran mountain climbers from Colorado made the trip into the canyon this morning and planned an attempt to reach the point of the UAL wreckage. They were Charles J. Pavlik and Fred Welsh, both of Denver aad mem- ben of the Colorado Mountain Club, and Raymond Batson and L. David Lewis, both of Boulder, members of the Rocky Mountain Rescue Club. Eigiit members of Switzerland's crack air-rescue squad left Zurich by plane today for the Grand attempt to reacli the UAL wreckage.
