o Mi Mm. mil C mm National Emergency Aid Now Oregon's Major Obligation, McKay Advises Legislators Governor, In Inaugural Message, Urges Tax Hikes To Meet Deficit, Bond Issue For Highway Program By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM (API Governor Douglas McKay urged the legis lature Monday to cut itate services to a minimum "because the federal government mutt have first call upon our material, man power and tax resources." In his inaugural message after being sworn to his second term by Chief Justice James T. Brand, the governor told the opening session of the legislators that they should limit their business to vital matters. He asked them to do their job as thoroughly and as quickly as possible. They shouldn't create any new state activities except those connected with national defense, he said. "This assembly," the chief ex- ecutive said before a packed house chamber, "can have no more im portant purpose than shaping the affairs of the stale to insure the greatest possible service to the na tion in these perilous times. "We must place first things first. We cannot afford legislation as usual any more than we can afford business at usual. "In the interest of the nation, we must defer those things which are not essential to the economic and social health of the state, and that do not contribute to the slate of readiness for national emer gency." The governor asked immediate passage of laws setting up an en larged '-'ivil defense agency, as serting that the present "loosely knit, largely volunteer organization has fallen short of requirements." The governor wants this civil defense bill passed by February 1. He asked for $23.1.595 to finance it until July 1, 1952. But in ad dition, he asked for $500,000 which he could use for relief and restor ation in event of enemy attack. Would Erase Deduction Governor McKay said h i t budget calls for tolal spending by the state of $430,000,000 in the two years beginning July 1. Of that amount, $180,000,000 must be pro vided by the legislature. The ap propriation total is $42,000,000 more than it was two years ago, largely because the voters increased stale support and passed the veterans bonus last November. His net budget deficit is $18,500, 000 which, the governor suggested, could be erased by eliminating, the federal income tax deduction from the state income tax returns. The governor asked for a long range program for buildings at state institutions, state colleges and the university. He also requested construction (Continued on page Two) In the Day's News By PRANK JENKINS As these words are written, Seoul is gone. Its evacuation was apparently a hurried decision, forced by two critical developments: 1. The enemy's overwhelming strength. 2. An enemy flanking movement (end run) that threatens to encircle and trip our whole 8th army. The teletype is chattering excit edly, trying to keep up with the morning's catastrophic develop ments but obviously falling behind. When the order came to get out, we got out of Seoul quick That's the one advantage we have. We move in trucks. The commies move on foot. We got across the Han river. After we were over, we blew the last bridge. We hoped the blowing of the bridge would stop the pursuing reds, at least temporarily. But it didn't. They got across the Han, close behind us and in such strength that we had to give up the idea of holding the port of In chon for another Dunkirk as at Hungnam. SO WE ABANDONED INCHON. So rapidly is one development fol lowing upon the heels of another (Continued on page four) Economy Decision Follows Legislature's Opening Pomp By ESTHER GEDDES SALEM The first hectic, exciting day of Jhe forty-sixth legislature has come to an end and the halls of legislature seem to echo to the second verse of Kipling's Recessional "The cap tains and the kings depart." The dazzling barrage of flashing cameras, and parades of state notables and all the pomp and ceremony of inauguration day has come to a close and only the busy custodians putting away the stacks of empty chairs indicate that today was a great day in Salem.

Approximately 30 men, largely in the nineteen-year-old bracket, will go to Eugene Jan. 15 for pre induction physical examinations, according to John L. Saunders, local boarU chairman who also pointed out that the heavy volume of enlistments in Douglas county has reduced the number of men called for by state headquarter for selective service. Killing Follows Family Quarrel PIKEVIIXE, Ky. (.? A 58-year-old father of six was held today following the slaying of his wife and a son and the wounding of two younger children during what officers described as an ar gument over his family's practice of attending night church services. Sheriff Esta Conway said a mur der charge would be filed and pre sented to the grand jury, probably today, against white, haired Millard Cochran of Feds creek. 'Sheriff Conway quoted Coch ran: "Yes, I shot them. Each one. It was self defense. Thev was alwavs picking on "me. They would have Killed me." Cochran had a gash in his head. He said he was struck with an iron poker. Officers found the bodies of Mrs. Cynthia Cochran, 51, and Chester Cochran. 19, lying on a bed in the house, 20 miles southeast of here near the Virginia border. Another son, Sturgill, 23, was re ported in critical condition at a hospital at Grundy, Va. A daugh ter, haran. 14, was treated for a flesh wound in the arm.

HARVEY JR. SALEM (& Oregon legis lators indicated today they would approve most of Governor Doug las McKay's recommendations, as even the Democrats complimented Monday's inaugural address. A poll of key lawmakers showed all-out endorsement of the gover nor's request that legislation be confined only to aiding national defense and to vital state matters. And they gave general endorse ment to the governor's specific recommendations as to what bills should be passed, although dis agreeing in some instances. What made the Democrats hap piest was the governor's call for reapportionment of the legisla ture. In a press forum after the in auguration, Governor McKay said it would be a mistake for the legis lature to pass a sales tax, as sug gested by a legislative interim committee on public welfare. The governor explained that he believes the people would defeat a sales tax again. And Governor McKay also said he favored doing away with the State Board of Control, which con sists of the governor, secretary of state and slate treasurer. The board's job would be taken over by a business department under the governor. Sen. Frank H. Hilton, Portland, introduced a bill to make it a crime to park an automobile with out locking the car. A bill to prohibit automobiles on Cannon beach in Clalsop county was introduced by Rep. John Dick son, Portland. Would Ban Fireworks All fireworks, except those used in public displays approved by the state fire marshal, would be made illegal by the first bill introduced in the legislature. Its sponsor is State Sen. Jack Lynch, Portland. The bill also provides that all public displays be supervised by local police and fire chiefs. The 1949 legislature passed a bill restricting use of fireworks only to the Fourth of July and for the lour days preceeding it. This bill, which would become effective as soon as it could be passed, prevents all sale and use of fireworks by individuals. Penalty for violation would be $500 fine or six months in jail. or both. The House also got its first bill Monday. It would appropriate $400 000 for the expenses of the legisla ture. Pay Boosts Provided The method by which state leg islators would get their increased pay was introduced in the House by its rules committee. At the general election last No vember, the voters increased leg islators' pay from $400 to $1,200 per session. The bill provides that the legis lators get $600 on January 15 of each year. But if a legislator re signs during the first year, h e wouldn't get his second $fi00. A member who resigns to enter the armed forces would get his full $1,200. Oleo, Milk Bills Appear Democratic-sponsored bills to al low sale of colored oleomargarine and to repeal the state milk con trol law were introduced. Slate Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney, Porttai d, introduced the oleomar garine bill. He said sale of colored oleo :s allowed in 32 states. S'dte Rep. Maurine Neuberger, rv.rtland, sponsored the milk con trol repeal. Under the milk control law, the state regulates the price and quantity of all milk sold in the slate. Safe Stolen From Winston Tavern, Looted Roy's tavern at Winston was broken into sometime last night anil a safe containing about $100 was removed from the building, stale police reported. The tavern is owned and operated by Roy Thompson. The 400-pound safe was discov ered this morning about three or four miles from Winston on the Robiis creek road. The bottom of the safe had been rut open and the con'teits removed, slate police said. ( State police officers are continu ing to investigate.

REVOLUTION! Kremlin Will Face One If War Begins Stassen NEW YORK (AP) Har old Stassen returned from a round-the-world trip today convinced that while there "are very real dangers of world war, the prospects of world peace are brighter than at any time in the past three years." Stassen gave three princi pal reasons for hit conclu sions. First, he said, "The whole world is awakening to the extreme evil: of communist imperialism and that awaken ing ii one of the key things." Second, "People every where, including the Iron Cur tain cojnrries, want peace and freedom and the Russian Kremlin faces a counter-revolution, which will in clude the Red army itself, if it begins an aggressive war." Third, "America and other peace-desiring nations are re arming and thereby filling the vacuum spots of weakness all around the world." Douglas Men Get Committee Posts In committee assignments at the current session of the Oregon leg islature, Senator Thomas Parkin son of Douglas county heads the committee on local government, and also was given membership on the committees on education, natural resources and public health. Rep. Paul E. Geddes of Douglas was named chairman of the com mittee on revision of laws and also placed on "the state and federal affairs committee. His colleague, V. T. Jackson, was seated on three committees agriculture, food and dairying, and game. Senator Howard H. Bellon of Clackamas again heads the impor tant senate ways and means com mittee and Senator Dean II. Wal ker of Independence again is chair man of the senate tax committee. Rep. Henry Semon, Klamath county, heads the house ways and means committee, and Rep. Rudie Wilhelm of Portland, was chosen as chairman of the house tax com mittee. Longshoremen Face Picket Ban PORTLAND (P) Picketing by longshoremen was forbidden at southwestern Oregon ports today. Federal Judge Gus Solomon is sued a restraining order afler a lengthy hearing on a- labor dispute that stemmed from loading prac tices on the lumber schooner C Trader. Longshoremen contended they should load all but one hatch of the schooner. They, said AFL sail ors began working all hatches of the schooner at Reedsport. Picket ing spread to other ports in Ihe area. The sailors said several of their members were beaten, and said they would refuse to take ships into these ports. Lumber operators pro tested they would have to close mills soon because of inability to ship their lumber. The judge said he would decide Saturday whether to issue an in junction in the case. The injunc tion would prohibit picketing until the NLRB determines jurisdiction. Missing Physicist Found Hanging In Old Building ASPEN, Colo.

JANUARY , 1951 Desperate Battles Mark Retreat Route Allies Fight Red Tide Endeavoring To Block Beachhead At Pusan Port TOKYO (PI Allied troops fought desperately today to slow the Communist tide rolling toward the heart of South Korea and men acing the U. S. Eighth army's re treat route to the old Pusan beach head. Two United Nations battalions at tacked a Red Korean force two miles south of battle-wrecked Wonju, road hub abandoned Mon day to the Reds. An allied regiment counterat tacked strong Communist forces six miles southwest of Wonju. Allied artillery slammed shells into the Reds and fighter-bombers roared down in close support. Action on Ihe western front south of abandoned Osan was limited to patrols. Hut army intelligence reported the Chinese were building up a ! massive attacking lorc-e around ; Osan. At least two Chinese ar- j mies possibly 80.000 or more i troops were spotted in the area. The Eighth army continued its retreat to the southeast Van guards of the fast moving Red forces pressed close on the heels of rearguard troops. Death For Red Sneakers Allied airmen were ordered to shoot up all groups behind Commu nist lines, whether in or out of uni form, except fur obvious family groups or children. Associated Press Correspondent Stan Swinton reported from Fifth air force headquarters that the or der was provoked by the Reds' persistent use of civilian clothing to camouflage their troops. Thousands of Chinese and Ko rean Red roldiers clad in while ci vilian clothing have infiltrated ref ugee columns passing into allied lines. Pilots spotted 4.000 Reds chang ing Monday from uniform to peas ant clothing. Conscription By Threat MacArthur's Tuesday war sum mary said the Red Korean army was vigorously conscripting men throughout Communist - controlled territory. "Villages both above and below (parallel) 38 continue to be raided by armed bands in search of man-! power," the summary said. It added that all males between 17 and 45 years are nulled out of ref ugee columns. No distinction is made between North and South Koreans. "Some refugees have stated that any male in the required age bracket who hesitates to serve is killed outright," Ihe report said and added that most conscripts were assigned to North Korean unils for training in the field. This implied that raw conscripts were being thrown directly into frontline action. Winston C. Of C. Dates Civilian Defense Speakers A representative of the slate fire marshal's office and Brig. Gen.
