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

said it was "highly doubtful" that

gested that Treaki may have

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

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.

Constitution Held No
Ban to Worker Benefits
CHICAGO, Aug. 13. (JP)
Daniel W. 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."

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT H.B. 460
The Sales Tax Measure
TO BE VOTED ON BY THE PEOPLE IN
THE SPECIAL ELECTION, OCT. 7, 1947
77. 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
