er tracts offered for sale received
no bids and will be held open for a
maximum of 90 days at no less

Emergency Board Rejects
Commission Bid For Funds
SALEM (AP) The state Emer- tralion, had presented a rcauest
gency Board today told the state
Tax Commission to go ahead and
administer new timber tax laws,
but without giving them any mon
ey to do it.
Tho board told the Tax Com
mission to use funds from its $0.6
million lump sum budget and then,
if it encountered a deficit, come
back to the board for money.
The commission, which said its
budget was too tight to provide
funds for the limber tax adminis-
State Boundary
Shift Requested
SALEM (AP) The new Oregon-Washington
boundary, fixed
in 1958, should be changed be
cause it runs through the power
house at McNary Dam, the Ore
gon Interstate Cooperation Com
mission said Friday.
The commission voted to make
such a recommendation to the
1963 Oregon Legislature.
About 600 feet or tne power
house is in Washington, stale en
gineer Lewis A. Stanley told the
commission.
Knotty Tax Problams
He said this causes knotty proD-
lems in administering state tax,
industrial accident and unemploy
ment compensation laws.
The commission recommended
that the boundary be changed so
that all of Ihe power house would
be in Oregon.
It would take years to make tne
change. It would have to be ap
proved by Congress, tne urcgon
and Washington legislatures, and
the voters of both slates.
Stanley recommended that until
the boundary is changed, officials
of both stales should make an
agreement which would assume
that the power 'house is in Ore
gon. He said Washington officials
have said tney would ne wining
to do this.
In Main Channel
The former boundary was the
main channel of the Columbia
River. Since the channel changes
constantly, the boundary changed,
too.
So a new boundary, using fixed
geographical points, was adopted
in 1958.
When the 1958 boundary first
was proposed, it would have put
the McNary power house in Wash
ington, and the spillway in Ore
gon. But the design of the dam was
changed, so that (he spillway is
in Washington, and the power
house in both states.

ern Oregon timber tax laws and
to make a study of taxation on
timber roads.
Legal Problems Faced
Director Freeman Holmer of the
Finance and Administration De
partment told the board that his
department faced a legal problem
in connection with the board ac
tion. He said it was bound by law to
make allotments to any agency,
including the Tax Commission, so
as not to create a deficit. Ho said
legal obstacles might present the
Tax Commission from getting the
needed timber tax law adminis
tration money.
The three laws deal with ths
means of setting the value on
which timber owners pay proper
ty taxes in Oregon.
Tax Commission Chairman Fred
Hoefke told the Emergoncy Board
that without the money a substan
tial amount of timber value might
be lost. This would mean that oth
er property taxpayers would have
to bear property taxes which
would be assessed on the timber
if it wero on the rolls.
The board, with House Speaker
Robert Duncan, D Medford, ab
sent, acted unanimously on a mo
tion by Rep. Clarence Barton, D
Coquilie. The motion was for the
go ahead on the program of tim
ber tax administration and come
back if a deficiency is encoun
tered. Value Loss Possible
Senate President Harry Boivin,
D Klamath Falls, the board chair
man, made clear that the legisla
ture cannot be bound by Emer
gency Board action.
1'h is came up because Barton's
motion said the commission should
go to the legislature if the defi
cit came after January, 1963,
which Hoefke said was likely.
The Tax Commission presented
Ihe request for timber tax ad
ministration money to the legisla
tive Ways and Means Commit
tee after the timber tax bills wero
passed in the final days of the
session. The Ways and Means
Committee, lacking time to study
the request, told tho commission
to take it up with the Emergency
Board.

Plan Given
For ' 63 Year
The Roseburg district office nf
the Bureau of Land Management
nas announced plans are being de
veloped for timber sales to be of
fered during the 1963 fiscal year
uuiy i, to June 30, 1963).
As in the' past, priority will be
given to the salvage of fire-killed,
windthrown and beetle-killed or in
fested timber.
Suggestions Asked
District Manager Archie Craft
has -invited individuals and com
panies who are interested in O&C,
Coos Bay Wagon Rd., and public
domain timber to submit sug
gestions of timber to be included
in the plan. He stated that one of
the considerations in selecting
tracts for sale is the interest by
prospective purchasers. Particu
larly, information is requested
about salvage tracts that may be
considered for sale.
This will be the 13th annual tim
ber sale plan prepared by the Bu
reau to indicate the location, esti
mated volume and proposed time
of sale for each tract to be offer
ed during the coming year. Pre
sentation of such a plan notifies
prospective purchasers well in ad
vance so that they may participate
in the bidding for the timber.
The timber sale plan is prepar
ed by the district manager and
his staff in keeping with the al
lowable cut under sustained yield
management, available personnel
to cruise the timber and to ad
minister sales contracts, sound
forest management practices and
the interest indicated by prospec
tive purchasers.
Plan Reviewed
The tentative plan is reviewed
by the state director and then pre
sented to the District Advisory
Board for consideration and sug
gestions. The Advisory Board Is
comprised of representatives of
the lumber industry, labor, agri
culture, livestock, recreation, wild
life and the general public.
No timber will be advertised for
sale unless the bureau can assure
equal access for all prospective
purchasers. The regulations per
mit the signing officer to accept
bids for any tract not sold at the
specified sale date for a 90-day
period, provided there has been
no substantial change in the ap
praised value of the timber.
Operators who wish to suggest
tracts for consideration in the 1963
fiscal year timber sale plan should
contact the district manager's of
fice, 2485 W. Harvard Ave., Rose
burg. The deadline for submitting
such suggestions has been set for
Sept. 15.
Discrimination
Strands Tangled
ST. LOUIS (AP) The staff di
rector of the Commission on Civil
Rights said today the web-like
strands of racial discrimination
reach "into every region of the
United States and into almost ev
ery area of life."
The official, Berl I. Bernhard,
told the annual meeting of the
junior bar conference in a pre
pared speech: "While the denial
ot equal protection in voting is
largely confined to the South, de
niais in education, employment
and housing, for example, are not
limited by regional boundary.
"In the past two years, for ex
ample, the gerrymander of a
school system in New York State,
deliberately executed to segregate
white and Negro students, was
exposed in federal court.
"The compact of state-licensed
real estate agents in Michigan
community to bar sales to Ne
groes and severely limit them to
members of other minorities was
exposed in the press.
"An all-while community near
Chicago roiled up in anger at the
prospect of Negro neighbors and
as of now, through court action,
has prevented a firm from build
ing homes for Negroes in the
community.
"A national labor union experi
enced difficulties on the West
Coast in locating a housing proj
ect for its minority group mem
bers." Bernhard added, "Outside the
South, as well as in it, the Negro
often finds himself in the position
of last hired, first fired. Some
times this stems i from a specific
policy by the employer. Other
limes it is the result of a lack of
qualification which, in turn, is the
result of an inadequate and often
unequal education."
Bernhard gave as an example
separate
vocational schools for
, tnese two schools are part of the;
same system."

Mental Tests
Set In Acid
Tossing Case
John Oliver Redifcr, 18, of Eu
gene, who indicated through his
attorney that he intended to use
insanity as a defense in an acid
throwing incident at Days Creek
on June 10, has been ordered trans
ported to the Oregon State Hospi
tal in Salem for examination and
observation.
The order, signed Friday by Cir
cuit Judge Don H. Sanders, asks
that the examination be particular
ly as to Redifcr's mental capacity
now and as to his mental capacity
at the time of the alleged crime.
The order specifics that he re
main in the hospital as long as his
presence is desired there to com
plete the examination and observa
tion within the discretion of the su
perintendent of the hospital. The
observation is to determine wheth
er or not he is mentally diseased
or was mentally diseased at the
time of the commission of the al
leged crime and whether or not
his mental capacity is such that
he would be eligible to be con
fined to any public institution.
Redifer was arraigned June 30
before Circuit Judge Charles S.
Woodrich on a Grand Jury indict
ment charging assault with a dan
gerous weapon. At that time he
gave oral notice of his intention to
adduce evidence of mental illness
or defect at the time of trial. j
Redifer is accused of throwing a :
caustic acid upon Mary Elaine,
Hornseth, 16 of Myrtle Creek on
June 10. The girl suffered acid
burns upon her body and her face.
The incident took place near the
South Umpqua bridge crossing at
Days Creek.
Stevenson Thinks
Khrush Mellowing
HYANNIS PORT, Mass. (AP)-'
Arilai E. Stevenson said today he
felt Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
latest note on Berlin indicated a
more conciliatory attitude. .
Arriving for conferences with
President Kennedy on U.S. strate
gy in the forthcoming U.N. Gen-
eral Assembly, Stevenson said,
"It is clear Mr. Khrushchev does
not want war" over Berlin.
He said the recent Khrushchev
note "contained the elements of
some settlement or at least a
postponement," of a showdown on
Germany.
In reply to a question in an air
port interview, Stevenson said, "I
think Mr. Khrushchev's note is
more conciliatory than anything
up to now."
Joining the President and Ste
venson for the weekend meeting
at the summer White House were
Harlan Cleveland, assistant sccre-
; tary of state for international or-
eanizational affairs, and Arthur
Schlesingcr Jr., presidential as
sistant. They met Stevenson at the air

Appeal To Decision
SALEM (AP) - The Cascade
Employers Association, struck
down by a National Labor Rela
tions Board decision supporting an
operating engineers union, today
was preparing an appeal.
The NLRB decislorix Thursday
reversed a ruling by one of its
examiners that Local 701 of the
Hoisting and Portable Engineers
engaged in unfair labor practices
in a strike that tied up sand and
gravel operations in the Willam
ette Valley in the summer of 1959.
Issue Not Included
Pat Blair, consultant to the as
sociation, said the appeal will be
based on the NLRB's ruling that
Cascade Employers was not a
"proper multi-employer bargain
ing unit."
Blair said that issue wasn't in
cluded in the record of the exam
iner's hearing in Portland last Sep
tember. The NLRB, Blair said, "has by
passed all the real issues and pin
pointed this one that they picked
out of thin air."
Blair said that if the Thursday
labor board decision isn't re
versed, the employers will carry
their appeal to the federal courts.
Negotiations on a new contract
for the operating engineers broke
down on a wage issue in June
I960. Sand and gravel operations
were tied up for about three
weeks.
