Douglas County Leads Gain
In Oregon Census; State To
Be Alloted 5th Congressman
By The Associated Press
Oregon has apparently qualified to gain another congress
man as preliminary census reports placed the State's population
at 1,511,188.
That was a gain of 421,504 nearly 3? per cent more
than 1940 total of 1,089,684.
' At present, representatives-are allotted states for each ap
proximate 300,000 population. Oregon now has four represent
atives. -
The boundary of the new district
will be drawn by the state legisla
ture. However, the Multnomah -Washington-Clackamas
county area
has been mentioned as the pro
bable site of the new district due
to its rapid increase in population.
Multnomah county has one repre
sentative at present. Washington
and Clackamas counties are nart
of congressional district one which
covers the remainder of northwest
Oregon.
Douglas county, boomed by
lumber, led the increase, more
than doubling its population in
the last ttn yean. It grew
from 25,728 to 54,064.
Multnomah county, enclosing po
pulous Portland, again was the
numerical leader. It totals 468.571,
nearly a third of the state's pop
ulation. It grew 113,472 in the last
decade.
Four Counties Don't Gain
Only four counties all east of
the Cascades failed to show a
gain. They were Baker, Wallowa,
Gilliam and Sherman.
Runner-up to Multnomah is Lane
county, which ousted Marion from
the No. 2 position. Lane, also
boosted by lumber, grew nearly
80 percent from 69.096 to 124-948,
an increase of 55,825.
Marion' now in the No. 3 p o s i
tion, made a respectable increase
from 75,246 to 100,379.
Clackamas county, fourth in the
1940 census, is again fourth. Wash
ington county, catching Portland's
overflow, grew 52 percent and
ousted Klamath county from fifth
place. Klamath made a modest
gain, but dropped to ninth place.
Other counties with big gains, up
to 70 percent, were Benton, Crook
and Jackson.
Umatilla county proved the ex
ception to the eastern Oregon trend
of losses or very slight gains. Um
atilla jumped from 26.030 to 41,176.
The preliminary returns are sub
ject to change in the final figures
to be reported next fall.

Called To Duty
WASHINGTON, July 5, -UP)
The army says it isn't consider
ing, at this time, summoning reser
vists to active duty or invoking
the draft law to muster more man
power. It issued a new formal statement
yesterday after being beset with
a fresh flood of rumors that such
action might be impending.
However, the first and strict
ly limited move toward build
ing up more military manpower
did come in the air force. It an
nounced that a number of reser
vists, both officers and men. who
are experts in electronics (radar
is a major branch) would be put
on active duty " on a voluntary
basis."
This was not mandatory orders
to report for duty. Nor did it ap
pear to involve any large numbers
of men. The call to active duty
was for the continental air com
mand, the operations of which are
within the United States. Radar
warning for aircraft is a part of
the duty of the air defense com
mand.

Capacity Throng
The Douglas county rodeo

capacity Tuesday n t g h t for the
first big, community sponsored

Opening with a demonstration of
fire fighting by the Kidde fcquip
ment company, the program i n-
eluded a parade by Bill
Black's claasy nights of Pythias
drum and bugle corps, and was
followed bv an hour of fireworks.
The disolay produced plenty of
thrills, but had one flaw. The
rockets, aimed straight up, burst
out of sight of many under the
crowded grandstand, ine atiair,
nevertheless, was generally con
ceded to be a big success.

and other club members worked
the stands. Proceeds from sales
of hamburgers and soft drinks
were used to defray cost of the
display.
To add to the realism, during
the fire fighting demonstration, a
grass fire burned atop Parrott hill,
directly across from the grand
stand. Douglas Forest Protective

had the blaze out by the time the
program was over.

Treasury Head
Backs Cuts In
Excise Taxes
Snyder Also Endorses
Offset Plan By Hiking
Levies On Corporations
WASHINGTON. July 5 UP)
Secretary of the Treasury-Snyder
today gave a limited endorsement
to the House-approved bill cutting
excise taxes by $1,010,000,000 and
raising levies on big corporations
He told the senate finance com
mittee, however, that improve
ments should be made and recall
ed President Truman's recommen
dation for increased taxes on oil
and gas producers. The House turn
ed that down.
Snyder read to the senators a
prepared statement in which he
discussed the world situation in
general terms as well as taxes.
He implied there is nothing in
the Korean situation so far to re
quire dropping the tax revision
plans, but remarked that "increas
ed disturbances to world peace"
could torce tax increases rather
than cuts.
Even before the hearings got
underway, Chairman George (D
Ga) and other committee mem
bers said that the drive to pass
.a tax bill before Congress ad
journs might have to be brought
to a halt if the Korean crisis de
velops toward war with Russia.
As passed by the House, the bill
would slash excise taxes by $1,
010,000,000 by reducing or wiping
out present rates on scores of items
ranging from jewelry, furs, pocket
books and baby bottle warmers
to movie tickets and telephone
bills.
Would Hit Corporations
To meet President Truman's de
mand that excise tax losses by tiff-
set by revenue increases from
other sources, the bill would hike
taxes on corporations earning over
$167,000 a year, plug various tax
loopholes and make other tax re
visions. The revised corporate tax struct
ure would bring in an estimated
$443,000,000 a year in additional
revenue, but corporations with
earnings between $5,000 and $167,
000 would benefit by a slight re
duction in taxes.
At present corporations may pay
their federal taxes in four quar
terly payments in the year follow
ing the tax period. The House-approved
provision would gradually
speed up these payments so all
would be paid within the six
months following the year cover

For New Goal
Americans' Situation
Said 'Desperate'; South
Koreans Also Caught
By The Associated Press
Communist troops and tanks
trapped an American infantry po
sition in the Korean fighting today
and pushed a mass offensive drive
southward from captured Suwon
apparently aimed at lopping off
the whole Suwon-Inchon sector.
The spearhead of the Communist
push reached the area of Osan, 11
miles south of Suwon, it seemed
designed to op. the way for a
drive on Taejon, military center
73 miles south of Suwon.
The Communist tank thrust.
coming after an engagement with
American artillery units which
cost the Reds two tanks, blocked
off the escape route for an undis
closed number of GIs . in the ad
vance infantry position. The North
Korean Reds, meanwhile, poured
reinforcements into the b 1 a z i n g
battle area while U. S. arms and
men flowed into a steady stream
from Japan by sea and air.
The setback on the fighting front
had the Americans anxious. The
situation of the trapped Americans
was reported "desperate," but
some hope was held out. An un
disclosed number of South Koreans
were also caught.
Chance Far Americans
An advanced American h e a d-
quarters spokesman said there was
a chance the Americans could
punch their way out of the Com
munist pocket and make a safe
withdrawal.. The Americans, set
ting up a position south of Red
captured Suwon, had met a Red
spearhead of eight tanks with ar
tillery fire in which two Commun
ist tanks were knocked out.
Front dispatches said the sur
viving Red tanks wheeled suddenly
and rammed themselves between
the infantry position and its sup
porting artillery and supplies.
Tens of thousands of opposing
soldiers were reported arrayed on
the South Korean batlefields, and
a U. S. liaison plane reported new
Red forces of undetermined
strength moving 'southeast from
Suwon taken by the Communists)
yesterday. '

which had been the south's defense
line. Apparently the-Reds were try
ing to make an enveloping action
near the American positions. South
Koreans were reported to have
fallen back to their new positions
in good order after losing Suwon,
and to have set up a new line
near the snot where the U. S. ar
tillery engaged the Rd tanks.
