JACK FARISS, local business man who Icnowi an opportunity when
he sees it, seized this on at hit ship, the Lurline, docked at Hono
lulu on the occasion of a visit Jack made there and from which he
has just returned. Probably, too, he remembered a certain in
sinuation I had made in a former story as to the type of scenery
to be found in the islands and what should be done about it.
"The young lady's name, I think," Jack tried to recall, "is
Noni Belle. She and other members of her family were greeting
acquaintances returning to Honolulu from the states, and in the
carefree manner of her people she staged an impromptu hula.
Next spring she and her sitter ere going to present a very formal
one at San Jose college, in California, on the occasion of their
brother's graduation from that institution."
Honolulu must be nice.

For example:
Governor McKay, addressing thel'"ly the matter further with the
Oregon Federation of Labor in
Klamath Falls, touched on in
ternational as well as state prob

and fright. He said
"The Russians can't lick us In
100 years, and neither can any
one else. . . If this country ever
goes down, it will be because of
apathy, because we're not will

In Week Hits
Camp Lejeune
Twelve Of Wounded Men
Said In Grave Condition;
Investigation Ordered
CAMP LEJEUNE, N. C. OP
Two defective mortar shells fell
short and burst into a company
of advancing Second division ma
rines here Wednesday afternoon,
killing eWht and injuring 23.
Witnesses said the mortar gun
ners saw that the shells were de
fective a split second after they
were fired during a routine train
ing exercise at this big marine
base in eastern North Carolina
about 50 miles northwest of Wil
mington. The gunners leaped to
field telephones and notified a for
ward observation post. But before
the warning could be relayed, the
shells exploded among the forward
group of the weapons company.
Bitter members of the company
told a reporter they did not blame
the mortar section, but felt that de
fects in the ammunition could
have been noted by careful inspec
tion. The casualty list was expected
to be made public today. A public
information officer said that of the
23 wounded, 12 were in serious con
dition at the base hospital here.
There were no otlicera among
the casualties. The ranking man in
the group hit by the mortars was a
senior non - commissioned officer.
who was killed.
The mortars were returned to the
base and impounded for the inves
tigation.
Tregtdy Scene Like War .
Members of the unit (Co. A, 1st
Bn., 6th marine Regt.) told a re
porter that a forward group of the
weapons company was advancing
through a wooded area when the
two shells landed among the
troops.
Then the scene became like a
real war. Highways leading into
the camp were clogged with ambu
lances. Other troops ran for cover.
Field telephones started buzzing.
borrowing relatives who live
near the base rushed to determine
whether their loved ones were
among the casualties. Official par
ties visited several wives notifying
them that their husbands were
killed or injured.
It was the second piece of hard
luck at Camp Lejeune this week.
On Monday and Tuesday about 110
marines suffered food poisoning
during the training maneuver.
Navy Commander L. V. Hallowed,
the acting base medical officer,
said that all but two have returned
to duty. He added that investiga
tion showed ham sandwiches
caused the poisoning.

ROSEBURG. ORECON THURSDAY.
Tax Bill Okay
Urged In House
By Doughton
Record $7 Billion Boost
All Country Can Bear,
Committee Head Argues
WASHINGTON (PI Rep.
Doughton (D-NC) asked the House
today to approve a $7,200,000,000
tax increase, and said he didn't
see how the rates could be boosted
any higher.
The North Carolinian heads the
ways and means committee which
drew up the bill, due to come to a
final vote in the House Friday.
He endorsed the huge proposed
increase, largest in American his
tory, as urgently needed to finance
the nation's defense program. But
he told his colleagues solmnly:
"I consider it unlikely that we
shall be able to increase substan
tially the yield of the federal tax
system beyond what is included
in the present bill.
"I say this in all frankness and
sincerity, for I consider it essen
tial that we face up to the fact that
any higher tax rates on either in
dividuals or corporations or excises
would be exceedingly burdonsome
and difficult to impose."
Doughton said that under the
current fiscal situation, Congress
has three choices: increase taxea
even higher than proposed in the
pending bill: re-examine and re
duce federal spending, both the
ordinary operations of government
and the military and foreign aid
budget: or embark upon a renewed
program of borrowing and deficit
financing.
' Exoenditures Cut Urged
He rejected the idea of deficit
financing, saying it would Contrib
ute to inflation and might perman
ently impair the government's
credit. He said the proposed $7,
200,000.000 tax hike is "as large
an amount as could safely be col
lected from the economy under
present conditions." Hence, he con
cluded: "The only sound course, in my
opinion, is to re-examine the score
of federal activities and to cut ex
penditures to the bone."
The chairman cf the tax-writing
group noted that this is the third
tax increase considered by Con
gress since the outbreak of the Ko
rean war a year ago. Taken to
gether, they account for an estim
ated yearly revenue increase of
more than 117,000,000,000. Speak
ing of the pending measure, Dough
ton said:
"To those who maintain that the
bill would impose too heavy a bur
den. I point out that personal in
come and corporate profita are at
record levels, and that most peo
ple will still have, after the higher
taxes are paid, larger take-home
pay than they have ever previ
ously enjoved.
Republican leaders agree with
the Democratic majority that the
bill probably will be sent to the
Senate unchanged. The Senate has
not yet begun coasideration and
isn't expected to act until falL
5 Districts Yote

Aged Woman Losts
$4,000 In Old Swindlt
PORTLAND (IP) A $4000
swindle was reported to police here
