East Germany Called "Land Of Witch Hunt" BERLIN I Communist East Germany has degenerated into a land of the "witch hunt" because Red bosses are frightened of the unruly public, U.S. headquarters in Berlin declared Tuesday. Haj. Gen. Thomas S. Timber man, American commandant, said in a statement that the Commu nists are sitting on such a tinder- box that only terror methods can keep them in a reasonable state of security.

He listed 23 separate "trials" oi spies ana saboteurs; 74 convictions, including 4 death penalties and 11 life imprisonment , terms.

The Supreme Court decided Mon day to take up the cases. The vote came only two hours after Gov. en Jordan had asked Atty. Gen. Robert Sinylie to press the court for a quick decision on the legal snarl surrounding the machines. As the court conferred on the hearing dates. Smylie told report ers m answer to Jordan that he had already asked the court to give the situation top priority and couia no no more. At issue are the slot machine licensing law of 1947 and the act of 19S.I repealing it. Both have been challenged as unconstitution al. The 1953 law orders slots ban ned after Jan. 1, 1934.

How have high inctme taxes and inflated prices affected the old guide-posts on home buying? Some traditional rules of thumb for borne buyers are: Pay no more than twice or twice- ana-a-nair your annual income. A week's pay should equal a month's house exDenses. The one per cent rule: A week's pay equals one' per cent of the house price $50 a week for a 15,000 bouse; xiw a wees ior a $10,000 house. Puzzled home-shoppers wonder, however: Do these rules apply to ffrnsa nav or take-home pay? The answer is flat it's take- home pay that counts. That's the verdict of many leading officials who rule on which mortgage risks to accept or reject.

The Nixons visited the ancient capitals of Kyoto and Nara and bustling Osaka', the Chiago of Ja pan, drawing massed crowds along the way that Japanese officials said have been exceded in reeent years only by throngs greeting Em peror Hirohito and the Japanese crown prince. An ordinarily uncomplicated visit to hundred-year-old temples was transformed for tne nixons into a melee of popping flashbulbs, push ing crowds, waving candle-lit lan terns and ticker tape. A curious surging throng in the heart of Osaka engulfed the Nix ons' motorcade and stopped it mo mentarily. But there was no sign of trouble in one of Japan's Com munist strongholds as the Nixons continued to greet mechanics and governors on their barnstorming tour. They made the 800-mile round trip - flight between Tokyo and Osaka in the Constellation plane ot lien. John rJ. null, united Na tions commander. Meanwhile, about 1,000 leftist-led student demonstrators marched in a drizzle through a Tokyo street swinging placards saying "Go home Nixon, merchant of death." - The demonstrators started marching after a mass meeting sponsored by the Metropolitan Fed eration of btudents Organizations. was justified under the rules of thumb in buying a ;iv,vuu or 112, 500 house. Today the same man takes home $88.76 a wek. Under the one per cent rule he should buy an $8,876 house. r ' Just for kicks (and bearing in mind inflated home prices; let's assume this typical man is inter ested in buying what the National Assn. of Home Builders calls tne nation's "typical house," one cost ing $12,500. Under a Federal Housing Administration-insured mortgage at Vi percent for 20 years his monthly payments would be $67.27; a 25-year mortgage would be $59.63 a month. Okay so far, but an FHA loan official says this: "One week s take-home pay should match not only the carry ing charges but also cover local taxes, fire insurance, heat, light and upkeep." From one section of the nation to another such expenses vary tre mendously. But "typical" temper ate zone expenses from NAHtt and FHA sources would place our home buyer's total monthly bill at $103 under a 20-year mortgage and $97 under a 25-year mortgage. That makes the $88.76 take-home pay 100s sick. But, admittedly, a "typical" case is seldom found outside a test tube. Maybe that's why an American Bankers Assn. spokesman said each case must be considered on its own merits when it comes to mortgage approvals. Furthermore, a Veterans Admin istration loan official savs that al- though the rule is to match 25 per cent of a month's take-home pay against monthly house exnenses. this can be stretched to 30 per cent unuer some conditions and even to 35 percent in rare hard- snip cases. Mortgage conditions "differ rad ically in different areas," accord ing to an oft-quoted expert, George W. Warnecke, head of the national mortgage firm bearing his name. He adds: "Lenders now require a detailed listing of federal and state income taxes, life insurance premium pay ments, installment debts and other loans to arrive at the applicants actual weekly take-home pay. As a general rule, no mortgage will be made unless this net weekly in come is equal to the carrying charges of the mortgage loan, including taxes, insurance and fuel costs." . .

' The injunction would bar them from selling securities in plywood co-operatives by misleading state ments. Attorneys for the defendants ob jected to the move. The defendants are Edgar R. Erron, Independ ence; Glass R. Munkers, Charles Williamson, Dwight Holdorf and Archie L. Bones, all of Salem; and Thomas A. O'Connell, Seattle, and the three co-operatives' they helped organize Beaver Plywood, Na tional Plywood and General Tim ber. The defense attorneys insisted there was no evidence that money taken in by the men, through sell ing of securities, had been con verted to their own use. Walter S. Lamkin, Salem, one of the attorneys for Braver Plywood investors, asked the judge to de lay, thus allowing state ourts to wind up affairs of the co-operative. The SEC laid before the judge a proposed finding that the men had converted the money to their own use. The SEC also proposed that in certain instances it should be paid back to investors. - In an October hearing some in vestors testified they had invested after promoters painted a rosy pic ture of the co-operatives, future, only to find later that the co-ops did not hold big peeler-log timber tracts in Lincoln and Tillamok counties. They said they also learned no application had been made, as they had been led to believe, for a loan from a Spokane bank to build a $750,000 mill at Independence, and that the firm did not hold patent for putting a special finish on ply wood panels, - . McCarthy Plans Blow At Stubborn Colleges BANGOR, Maine m Sen. Me Carthy (R.-Wis.) says colleges that won't fire uncooperative witnesses stand to lose financially under legislation he is preparing. The Senate's investigations sub committee chairman said his staff has been instructed to draft a bill that would remove tax exemptions from foundation funds given to col leges and universities which em ploy faculty members who invoke the fifth amendment. The fifth amendment to the U.S. Constitution, permitting individuals to refuse to testify on grounds of possible self incrimination, has been used numerous times by wit nesses questioned by McCarthy's committee. McCarthy said in an interview 1 Sunday night he plans to introduce the measure the first of next year. s a i w W -J "VUfrola" 45 Automatic Rtcord Changtr Attachment Htrt't tht towtst priced automatic attachment you can buy!
