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.

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."
Those tailed three of 11 Com
munist leaders on trial for con

overthrow of the government-

These were statements of For
rest E. 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. Ten Per Cent Tax
These provided a 10 per cent

Gates was ordered jailed after
he refused to answer a question
that would have required him to
name party members not on trial.
The others were remanded to
jail when they protested.
Wallace, head of the Progres

not to be a Communist or in
agreement with Communist
methods and objectives to be
deeply shocked."
He said Attorney General Tom

Russia, West
Both Behind
Iron Curtain
PARIS, June 4. 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.
He cited the story of the young
man who, in order to be per
mitted to drive the family auto
mobile, must demonstrate not

Navy Diver Dies
In Under Water
Test Equipment
WASHINGTON, June 4. (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
