ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1947 FIVE Husband Admits Slaying of Wife DETROIT, Aug. 13. -- (JP) Authorities announced that Harry Treaki, 50, admitted in unsigned statements that he beat his 20-year-old bride of 11 days with his fists because "she was a no good woman" and later aided in dis posing of her dismembered body. The severed torso of his wife, Jean, was found Sunday In an alley trashean and her head and legs were located Monday two blocks away. Earlier Police Inspector Marvin Lane said Treaki made a "verbal" admission of the slaying. Whitman announced that Treaki had implicated two other men in custody in disposal of the blanket wrapped parts of the Vsll "ftex eswdf n.95 Z:j CEATLE Kf 0 is so nr to wear, especially in "Penny,"' our PHYSICAL CULTURE tie with quality and fit every inch of the way, and these fine comfort features: special steel shank cushioned tread base balanced heel fuitig Municipal Band Dates Concert at Riddle Rosebure's MuniciDal Band trav els to Riddle lor tiieir regular Thursday conceit this week.

The officer said it was "highly doubtful" that the two were involved and sug gested that Treaki may have brought their names into his story in revenge for their atten tions to his wife. The two, Harold (Earl) Kitch en, 31. described by police as the victim's former common law husband, and Charles MacGowan, 32, said to have been an acquaint ance of Mrs. Treaki, were to be questioned, Whitman added. They have been in custody since Sunday. Certificates Must Go Along With Patients SALEM, Ore., Aug. 13. (JP) A warrant and copy of the exam ining physicians' certificate or certificates must accompany to the institution patients committed to the Oregon State Hospital, At torney General Neuner advised Dr. J. C. Evans, hospital superin tendent. The practice of accept ing a patient upon a letter from the committing judge explaining that commitment papers have been delayed and will follow does not comply with the law even i tnougn proper commitment pro l ceedings have been conducted, I Neuner held. I Only provision now for emer ! gency hospitalization of mentally- ill patients not so committed or not volunteering for commitment is in county hospitals, the. attor ney general pointed out. President of Paraguay Flees Besieged Capital BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 12. (JP) Argentine sources said today President Morinigo of Paraguay had fled the rebel-threatened capi tal of Asuncion, but the Asuncion radio said his government was pledged to "win or die" in defense of the city. Loyalist lines around Asuncion are unbroken, declared the Asun cion broadcast last night. Morinigo's departure would be a strong indication that the five months old civil war is rapidly heading for another climax, but dispatches from Paraguay and rival communiques did little to clarify the exact military situation. Damage to Corn Spells Less Neat During Next Year WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. (JP) Government hopes tor a high level of meat production next year were dampened by an of ficial report yesterday that corn crop prospects continue unfavor able. The corn outlook also dims chalices for a material reduction in piiei.-s of meat and corn, both now at or near record levels, as long as consumer demand con tinues strong. The Agriculture Department said the corn crop major live stock feed grain failed to make any recovery during the last half of July from its poor planting season start. The crop was forecast at 2, 659.949,000 bushels. This com pares with last year's record of 3,287,000,000 bushels, with a gov ernment goal of 3,000,000,000, and with a July 15 forecast of 2, 770.000,000. The latest forecast was based on August 1 conditions and did not take fully into account dam age caused in some areas by ex cessively hot dry weather since that date weather which the de partment says has become a "ser ious threat'' to corn and other crops in the midwestern corn belt. No Harm This Year This year's corn crop will pro vide next year's feed supply for hogs and cattle. Consequently a short crop will affect next year's production of meat, but not this year. Meat production for the re mainder of this year is expected to be about as large as last year's near record volume. Livestock to be slaughtered in the months ahead are being fed on corn from last year's big crop. Officials have said that a corn crop of at least 2.850,000,000 bush els of good quality grain will be neeoed to maintain 19-18 meat production near the 19-17 per ca pita rate of about 155 pounds. They ha'e stated, on the other hand, that despite poor corn pros pects, meat production next vear should be considerably above the pre-war per capita rate of 126 pounds a year. Justice Court Under No Ban as to Age, Ruling SALEM. Aug. 13. (JP) In all Criminal cases within the juris diction of the justice of peace courts, regardless of the age of ino accused, mere is no legal re straint on such courts, but after conviction it is within the discre tion of the court but not manda tory to certify a convicted minor to the Juvenile Court, Attorney NeUner ruled yesterday. The duty of the 'justice of the peace as a committing magistrate is the same in all criminal cases in which he sits, regardless of the age of the accused, Neuner- held.

Hoan, former Social ist mayor of Milwaukee, said yes terday "anyone who says our constitution . . . blocks the pas sage of laws to benefit workers is crosseyed." Addressing the annual conven tion of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Hoan said, "when we were trying to pass the nation's first workmen s compensation law In Wisconsin, all the lawyers said that we could not hold em ployers responsible to what hap pened in their plants." "The result was you could not walk a block down the street without meeting a guy with a peg leg, or with an eye Doked out, or with one or both arms missing," he said. "Now we've got compen sation by law, and safety move ments within the factories, and the employer finds it's money in his pocketbook to have a safe factory because he gets lower in surance rates."

B. 4f0 is moitltd alter the most equitable of the tales taxes now in effect in 27 stales of the Union, intluding Washington and California, ll is neither contusing nor complicated. Every Oregon voter should know its four principal features IT IS A FAIR TAX, levied only on money spent after the basic necessities of life are paid for. Food, rent, doctor's bills, personal service, gasoline used in cars and farm tractors all are lax-free. (Section 4, H.B. 460.) It is a "pay as you go" tax which if the sales tax fails of adoption wilt otherwise be raised through increased property taxes, increased income taxes and more bidden taxes on everything you buy, include ing food. IT EQUALIZES OREGON'S MOUNTING TAX BURDEN by providing a ew source of tax revenue which will halt the upward spiral of property and income taxes. It bal ances the state budget, aids counties, cities and school districts and guarantees the old-age assistance program. An estimated $2,000,000 in sales taxes will b$ collected from tourists each season a direct aid to every Oregon tax-payer. SALES TAX REVENUES WILL IMMEDIATELY RELIEVE PROPERTY TAXES. This fact is not clearly understood by many voters. One-sixth of sales tax revenues will go directly to counties, one-sixth to cities and one-sixth to local school districts, a total of $11,000,000 annually; and the law specifically retjuires (Section 28, page 9) that this money shall be "fully applied" to reduce local property taxes. This means an average property tax reduction of more than 25 for county and school purpose throughout the state. EVERY FARMER WILL BENEFIT BY THE SALES TAX, since the farmer heads the list of property owners of Oregon. According to the last (1945) Agricultural Census, almost 90 percent of Oregon farmers own their farms, and then cannot escape the mounting cost of government which must be paid through increased property or income taxes if the sales tax measure fails of adoption. An authoritauve analysis of farm expenditures, outlined fully in "The ABC of the Sales Tax", demonstrates that any Oregon farmer who owns his land (89.9 of Oregon farmers) and whose gross income is more than $2,000 (87 of Oregon farmers who made state income tax returns in 1946) will pay less taxes under the "pay as you go" sales tax than he will pay in increased income and property taxes if H.B. 460 fails of adoption. r,e farmer's most Important pur (hates... fUD,MD and FERTILIZER... are tax-EREEl Tht "ABC l Iht lelti Tei" ll ilmplt but ompltt omlyiU ol M l. 480, Ift ewtillori end eniwar form, hi(h plomi lh. meoiu't fully ! dlittiiMt toeh molor con trovtnial otptct ef lh mcoturp.
