The lymph gland was removed from Rayburn's right groin during Thursday's surgery. A hospital bulletin said "the bi opsy revealed a metastiatic ma lignancy" and "the most likely primary site of the malignancy is the pancreas."

Uncle Sam Income Tax WASHINGTON (AP) L'ncle Sam today unveiled the new, sim plified, two-page form 1U40 to be used in paying the tax on this year's individual incomes. It presents the best effort of the Internal Revenue Service to use plain Knglish instead of legalistic gobbledcgook. and it eliminates one tax form entirely the old 1040W. The new form is printed on bet ter paper in bigger type. It will arrive in December in a revised 1961 instruction book. Here is an example of the dif ference : The first question on the 1961 form will say simply: "1. Wages, Average Age Low In Douglas Count Douglas County's population is of a more youthful nature than the rest of the state Miss Marian Martin of the state Board of Health noted Thursday. Speaking at a meeting of the County lnter-Ageney Council in the courthouse, Miss Martin said the median age in the county was 27.1 years compared to an over all state median age of 30.8 years. Consequently, Miss Martin said, the dominant population trend here is toward more marriages, more young children and less older peo ple. In her discussion of population trends in the county, she antici pated that county population would jump from 68,500 in 1900 to 85,000 in 1970. The non-white population in the county also is considerably less than the over all state figure, she said. Less than a half of 1 per cent is non-white compared to the state figure of 2 110 per cent. Mrs. Bernice Smith of the county health office presided over the meeting. DFPA Snuffs Half-Acre Blaze Near Rock Creek The Roseburg headquarters crew of the Douglas Forest Protective Association answered the only call Thursday at a one-half acre blaze near Rock Creek, about two miles east of Id ley Id Park.

Unveils New Return Form salaries, tips, etc., and excess of allowances over business ex penses," On the form for 1SXW the same line read: "1. Knter all wages, salaries, bonuses, commissions, tips, and other compensation before payroll deductions upcluding any excess of expense account or similar al lowance paid by your employer over your ordinary and necessary business expenses. See instruc tions, pp. 5 6.)" IRS Commissioner Mortimer M. Caplin, who promised Congress when he took office that he'd try to make the annual struggle with tax forms easier on taxpayers, told a news conference: "As long as the tax form has to mirror the tax laws, we cannot have complete simplification. But we think the great bulk of people can be better served with this new basic two-page form." The new 1040 is for taxpayers whose income came from salaries and wages and who did not re ceive more than $200 of dividends and interest. The old form 1040A, the punch card form, continues to be avail able for those with less than $10,. 000 total income. It has been only slightly revised. Taxpayers who have more than $200 of income from dividends, or interest or who have income from farming, partnerships, businesses, annuities or capital gains must use additional "schedules," at taching them to the new 1040. One feature of the new form gives Caplin particular, pride, he indicated; the entire tax compu tation has been brought to the fjrst page of the return, eliminat ing the need for taxpayers to flip pages back and forth while carry ing numbers in their heads. Eliminated also is the question whether you owed any federal tax for previous years. "We have that information," Caplin said. Metzger Planning Meet-Attendance Commissioner Elmer Metzger will attend a meeting of the Road Committee for Association of Ore gon and California Counties in Eu gene, Thursday. The seven-man committee, Metz ger said, will discuss road recom mendations to be presented during the association's convention Nov. 12.
