(AP)-A plan for referring to the voters the tax program of the recent Legislature is being discussed by a group of Albany businessmen.

The bill Is sched uled to become law on Aug. 5. If successful a referendum would hold the tax program up until it could be voted on in No vember, 1960.

NeuDerger iu Ore). He added the provision to a re vised version of his bill to empow er the agency to finance new electric facilities in the Pacific Northwest states. In offering the revised bill to the Senate, Neuberger said in a prepared speech that the provi sion, which he designated as the "public utility responsibility clause," would be a departure trom present poucy. Always before federal power systems nave operated on tne basis of dividing up the scarcity ot power, o! allocating tne inade quate available supply to coopera tives and public agencies under the public preference clause. Neuoerger said.

Some 850 million dollars worth of construction has been affected, a spokesman for the Seattle chap ter of the Associated General Con tractors estimated. The number of operating engineers and teamsters of! the jobs was set at 5,000 witn another 15,000 persons employed on the projects idled by the tieup. The dispute centers around hir ing procedures, with the operating engineers seeking use of exclusive union hiring halls. Contractors say sucn a provision would be illegal under closed shop statutes while the union contends the practice already is in use in some areas. Neither the operating engineers nor the teamsters, who joined them, have set up picket lines at any of the projects. The walkout began Monday when the engineers stayed away from nine construction projects. By Wednesday the affected AGC chapters, maintaining a strike against one was a strike against all, had closed more than 100 other projects. Rocky Reach Dam, largest sin gle project anecteo, was not ex iccted to be shut down until late ednesday or early Thursday. ft Non-Union Workers Enter Struck Mills HENDERSON, N.C. (AP) -First shift workers, guarded by long lines of National Guardmen, quietly entered the struck Harriet Henderson cotton mills today. There were only occasional Jeers and catcalls from small clusters of pickets who turned out at the mills' two plants. The scene contrasted sharolv with Tuesday night's shift change when guardmen with fixed bay onets, faced hundreds of shouting strikers. There was no violence, however. . Police said some rocks were thrown in an area not policed by the guard. Five persons were ar rested and one waa charged with inciting to riot. The guardmen. ' numbering about 300, were ordered here by Gov. Luther Hodges as a result of a new outburst of violence Monday night. Portland Soldier Ii Victim MUNICH. Germany (AP) - The Army identified a military do- Iiceman who was killed last week while handling a pistol as Sp. 4.C. Leonard Taylor, 21, of Portland, Ore. Wednesday. German police reported Taylor on May 8 visited a house where his girl friend is employed as a maid. She showed him a oistol be longing to her employer, officers said, and he pulled the trigger by accident, shooting himself through the head. Taylor was assigned to the 508th Military Police Battalion stationed here. develop." As a result, Neuberger said, "economic growth of the North west need never again be held up by the inability of Bonneville to supply power to industry." The new bill also contains what Neuberger described as a "very mild and gentle modification" of the public power preference clause. This provision, which has been criticized by public power groups, would require Bonneville to distribute electric power equit ably throughout Pacific Northwest states "so that there will be no unreasonable geographic concen tration thereof." Use For Oregon The effect of this provision would be to assure Oregon of a greater participation in the Bon neville output as compared with neighboring Washington despite the preponderance of public pow er agencies in Washington. "I have always supported the public power preference clause because it is the basic anti monopoly provision of our federal power policy," Neuberger said. "But I am also in favor of fair ness, and I do not think it fair that where several states are served by a system like the Bon neville Power Corporation one state should be allowed to mon- opolize the vast bulk of the power it generates." Under the bill, the proposed Bonneville 'corporation would be authorized to issue revenue bonds up to a maximum of (1,100,000,000 to the treasury to be repaid from power revenues.
