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.
The general quoted from a study
his staff made of recent East
German purge methods, all stem
ming from the June 17 workers'
rebellion. He listed 23 separate
"trials" oi spies ana saboteurs;
74 convictions, including 4 death
penalties and 11 life imprisonment
, terms.
"The deliberate creation of I
'witch hunt' indicates recognition
by Soviet Zone authorities that the
passive resistance of the popula
tion has not been broken," Tim
berman asserted.

Must Watch Finances
MEDFORD Wl Oregon must
watch its finances closely in the
next few years, Gov. Patterson
told a Chamber of Commerce
forum here Monday night.
"We must be sure to pay our
way as we go ... . If the present
trend continues, when the Legis

it does not have the planned 36
million dollars to start the bien
nium," he said.
The governor said taxes have
been increased four times in the
last five legislative sessions. He
said this year's income is not equal
to what was anticipated, and added

ous sign."

Legality Cases
Set For Hearing
BOISE un Three court cases
involving the legalityh of slot ma
chines in Idaho have been set for
Supreme Court hearing in mid-
December just two weeks before
the machines are scheduled under
present law to be banned.
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.

Standard For Buying Home
Is Twice Annual Salary
By ED MORSE
(For Sam Dawson)
NEW YORK I What price
house can you afford to buy these
days? 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.
In former days, a $100-a-week
man with a wife and two children
Vice President
Nixon Draws Big
Crowd In Tokyo
TOKYO UD Vice President and
Mrs. Richard Nixon drew crowds
estimated at a half-million persons
Tuesday on a sightseeing trip of
central Japan tnat turnea into a
"meet the Deonle" expedition.
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." . .

Judge Considers
Injunction Order
On Co -opera tives
- PORTLAND W Federal Judge
Claude McColloch took under ad
visement Monday a Securities and
Exchange Commission request for
an injunction against three timber
co-operatives and eight men.
' 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

BANGOR, Maine m Sen. Me
Carthy (R.-Wis.) says colleges that

The Senate's investigations sub
committee chairman said his staff

The fifth amendment to the U.S.
