CVA PROPOSAL TAX EXEMPT County Association Adviser Says Law Should Be Studied At District Meeting Here Under the proposed Columbia Valley Administration law, Bon neville power would continue to be the only tax-exempt public power on the market in the United States. For this reason Congress should give Oregon officials a chance to study the tax problems Involved In CVA, and should the bill be revenues of local government." In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS A DISPATCH from Frankfurt, American headquarters In Ger many, starts off: "American officials today dis closed plans to fight Western Ger many's serious unemployment problem with PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS . . .'with 1,200,000 job less and the number growing monthly, Western Germany may face an unemployment crisis un less something is done,' these of ficials said." WHAT is the ROOT of the Ger man unemployment trouble? Well, in the dying days of the war in Europe we listened to a man named Mergenthau who sold us a doctrine of hate and venge ance. "Make Germany a goat pas ture," he said, in effect. "Maybe that will teach these Germans that was doesn't pay." In the flush of hatred that fol lows wars as Inevitably as night follows day, we listened to him. (Continued on Page Four) Henry Wallace Protest Jailing. Of Communists As "Shocking" And Threat To Liberties Of Americans NEW YORK, June 4.-OP)-Jailing of three defendants in the Communist conspiracy trial has produced sharp protests in some quarters. Henry Wallace called the ac tion "shocking" and a threat to American political liberties. The American Labor Party said that Federal Judge Harold R. Medina, in revoking bail of the three men yesterday, was guilty of "judicial tyranny and gross abuse of power." The Civil Rights Congress, a group called subversive by At torney General Tom Clark, term, ed the ruling an "attempt to com pletely stymie the defense." The Congress planned a protest dem onstration Monday. Eon Gold, president of the CIO International Fur and Leather Workers Union, called the action "shockingly contrary to every conception of decency in a civil ized country."

Cooper, Lakeview, legal advisor to the Association of Ore gon Counties on federal land tax problems, who spoke at a district meeting here Friday of officials of four Southwestern Oregon counties. The meeting was held at the courthouse. Cooper explained the tax implications of the pro posed CVA bill. These problems relate to Sec tion 13 of the bill, which is "very unsatisfactory," said Cooper. He reviewed the Tennessee Valley Authority law passed in 1933, when certain tax features were overlooked. In 1940, local govern ments in Tennessee found them selves in a "tough situation" and Congress made certain amend ments.

VP Russia and the West both were behind a curtain today, continuing ef forts in secret session to find a way of co-existence in Berlin. Behind a news blackout, the diplomats of the Big Four For eign Ministers Conference face more than mere restoration of harmony in the German capital. Both sjdes believe with appar ent sincerity that a way of life can De worked out. With their experts all pledged to secrecy the foreign ministers began today's talks in the pink palace. - After a secret session yester day the only encouraging sign was the announcement the min isters would meet again today. Neither Russia nor the West ern Powers had rejected their rival plans for making Berlin a single city. Veto Big Question The big barrier between the two sides was understood to be the question of whether any one power can be permitted to veto acts of the city government or elections of city government of ficials. Russia was not expected to give up her insistence on veto power unless other considerations made it advisable. After the blockade last year rioters drove the elected anti-Communist gov ernment out of City Hall in the Soviet zone. New city elections were held in the western sector with the Russians refusing to participate. A dual city govern ment, with two currencies, re sulted. Strike Still On The present strike of railway workers in the western zone of Berlin that has paralyzed the city rail system -for a. .fortnight grew out of the' ciiirencyr cun-: flict. ' One of the problems the four foreign ministers are believed discussing is how a single city, administration can function with out harming the interests of the four occupying powers. Secretary of State Dean Ache son has summoned Lewis Doug las, American Ambassador in London, as an adviser on tech nical problems of the German question. Douglas Is expected to reach Paris Sunday. Chambers Admits Lying Under Oath To Grand Jury NEW YORK, June 4.-B The character and credibility of ex-Communist Whlttaker Cham bers, on whose testimony hinges the government's perjury charge against Alger Hiss, was the target ot defense counsel yes terday. Under lashing cross-examina tion, Chambers acknowledged that he lied under oath before the same Federal Grand Jury that returned the perjury indict ment against Hiss, former state department official. Florid, gray-haired Defense At torney Lloyd Paul Stryker also drew from Chambers an admis sion that he had failed to tell the whole truth before official bodies on several other occa sions. Both defense and prosecution attorneys have stated that it is principally on Chambers' word that tne perjury charge against Hiss hangs. Hiss is accused of swearing falsely when he denied Cham bers' claim that he turned over government secrets to Chambers, self-described former courier for a prewar Russian spy ring. Chambers, whose testimony has pictured Hiss as plotting with him and a Soviet agent, Col. Boris Bvkov, to filch gov ernment secrets, spoke softly as he answered Strykers questions. He acknowledged that, during his 14 years In the Communist Party, he had been a traitor to the United States, that he scorned religion and had lived with a woman "outside the bonds of matrimony."

ROSEBURG, Students Given Diplomas At School Graduation Dr. Newborn Is Speaker At Exercises The successful high school graduate has developed within himself the five basic disciplines, if he is to rate himself an ed ucated man, Dr. Harry K. New bum, president of the University of Oregon said at commence ment exercises in the high school auditorium Friday night. A capacity crowd, estimated at 1500, heard the Oregon presi dent compare life to a business, in which people must occasionally take inventory, determine their status, and ask "which way am I going?" Dr. Newburn sees high school graduation as an opportune time to take inventory. Many turn to business, the home, marriage or the career at this point, and the graduate must determine if he is man or woman enough to perform the task demanded by society. High school graduation must be considered in terms of re sponsibility to the community and to others. Dr. Newburn listed five basic disciplines necessary to qualify as an educated man. One, is the realization that freedom is rela tive and must be accompanied by responsibility and obligation. The Individual must accept cer tain obligations to be worthy of freedom.

(JP) A veteran Navy diver lost his life yesterday In experiments to make under-water work safer. He was Chief Machinist's Mate Ignacio L. Huerta, 28, connected with the diving experimental unit at the naval gun factory here for the last eight years. Naval of ficials said he had made hundreds of dives. ' ' His death, officers said, was the result of a chain of accidents In a descent to great simulated depth in the test tank at the gun plant. Huerta,, entered tne tank Wednesday .and pressure was built up to simulate a depth of 490 feet In open water. The diver reported he had grown dizzy, and was taken out. Recovered, he went back Into the tank but "passed out" at a depth less than the 490 feet, the Navy reported. His diving suit carried valves, operated by the wearer, to main tain air pressure inside nigner than the pressure of the water from outside. Water entered through the valves, officers said, when the diver became uncon scious and was unable to operate the mechanism. Before Huerta could be taken out, a gun factory spokesman said, the water rose into the helmet and came in contact with lye carried in a canister there as an air purifier. The chemical burned him about the neck. The diver was treated for sev eral hours In a dry decompres sion tank and later at Bethesda Naval Hospital, but died Friday. Officers said the lye burns were the cause of death. Cmdr. G. G. Molumphy, head of the diving experimental unit, said 50 or 60 previous dives had been made without mishap In tha series of tests designed to work out a slower and safer decom pression technique for deep div ing.
