County Emloyes Ask Additional
Sick Pay, Holidays, Vacations
The American Federation of

and holiday schedule.

Critics Renew
Attack On Tax
Revision Bill
WASHINGTON (UPI) Busi
ness spokesmen Monday renewed
their criticism before Congress of
sections of the Kennedy admini
stration's tax revision bill.
They testified before the Senate
Finance Committee on a proposal
to change the system of collecting
taxes on American subsidiaries
operating overseas.
This provision would require
American - owned companies
abroad to pay U.S. corporate
taxes on income from royalties,
patents and other "passive" in
come in the year earned. It also
would tax immediately income
from sales subsidiaries as disting
uished from manufacturing sub
sidiaries in foreign countries.
A. E. Kornhauser, of the Con
trols Co. of America, an
electronics firm, testified that
this would "reduce the scope of
operations of foreign base com
panies and would further restrict
the legitimate business of Ameri
can companies abroad."
Administration leaders have
said the tax is not new. The pro
vision is aimed at capturing taxes
on earnings of subsidiaries the
same year rather than wait until
the money is channeled to t h e
parent corporation.

The revisions are recommended
in connection with personnel rules
prepared for Douglas County by
the Local Government Services Di
vision of the Oregon State Civil
Service Commission. They go into
effect July 1.
Under the holiday section, the
union is asking the court to make
the holiday schedule uniform for
all employes. The union suggests
that the proposed schedule, which
designates 10 holidays, is discrim
inatory m that it would provide
10 holidays for salaried personnel
ana oniy seven lor the Dourly work

sonnel rules make this provision:
Fulltime employes after 1.0 years
of continuous service shall receive
15 work days of vacation for each
full year (IVi days for each full
month) for each full year of serv
ice. The union asks that this provi
sion be placed in operation. The
rule is in line with the practice
ot most western counties and cit
ies in the state, Hippie said.
The court is also being asked to
hike accumulated sick leave from
the present 45 day limit to 120
days.
Hippie said the Douglas County
salary implementation schedule
which becomes effective July
"is a step in the right direction."
"It is our feeling that it is not
perfect, but should be given a
chance to operate.

Algeria Faces
Rift On Eve
Of New Birth
ALGIERS (UPI) A bitter rift
was reported brewing today in the
Algerian nationalist government
(GPRA) in Tunis virtually on the
eve of the birth of an independent
Algeria.
The vote in Sunday s refer
endum ran more than 99 to 1 in
favor of independence and Presi
dent Charles de Gaulle was ex
pected to pronounce the end of
132 years of French rule over the
northwest African territory later
this week.
The Tunis - based regime was
said to have split sharply between
right and left. Vice Premier Mo
hammed Ben Bella, leader of the
left-wing, fled to Libya last week
and Col. A. Boumedienne, one of
his chief supporters, was dismiss
ed from his post as chief of staff
of the Algerian National Libera
tion Front (FLN) army.
Troops Moving In
Boumediene and two of his
aides were charged with "crimi
nal activities," and one of them
a Maj. Slimane was reported un
der arrest. Boumedienne's where
abouts were unknown, but there
were unofficial reports he had slip
ped into Algeria to court the sup
port of guerrilla bands totalling
perhaps 10,000 men.
Reports circulating in Paris said
th Aleerian nationalist' leaders
were moving troops into some Al-J
gerian cities and villages wunoui
waiting lor me rorraai uiuepeuu
ence proclamation. In many places
the green-and-white flag of the
FLN already flew.
The Ben Bella faction was re
ported" pressing for speedy nation
alization of Algeria's factories,
farmlands and means of distribu
tion. The right wing of the gov
ernment, led by Premier Ben Yous
sef Ben Khedda, favors greater
moderation.
A sizeable proportion of the Al
gerian guerrillas based outside the
country was believed to support
Ben Bella. The Tunis regime was
reported massing its forces along
Algeria's Tunisian border in the
hope of keeping troops loyal to Ben
Bella out of the country.
Scenes of Rejoicing
The native quarters of Algeria's
major cities were the scene of re
joicing Sunday night, with men
shouting nationalist slogans while
women screamed victory cries and
beat on cans in celebration of in
dependence. At latest reports, the results of
Sunday's vote stood at 2,605,203
99.8 per cent in favor of inde
pendence to 6,732 against.
Eighty per cent of the eligible
voters, including 50 per cent of
the Europeans remaining in Al
giers and Oran, cast ballots in the
referendum.
There were no reports of major
violence during the balloting.
State Strike Hits
Local Shingle Mill
The Roseburg Shingle Co. on the
North Umpqua Highway east of
Roseburg joined 62 other mills in
Oregon and Washington in a North

A spokesman at the mill said the
action involved about 18 employes
at the mill. He said the shingle
mill has closed down, but the saw
mill and stake mill are still in op
eration. The strike was called by the
Oregon-Washington District Coun
cil Shingle Weaver Union after

Condition
ed. Cope said it might be two or
three days, or possibly a week.
A hospital spokesman said Sob
len's condition this morning "is
still rather serious but he is slight
ly improved since admission." He
added there "are no plans for an
operation at present."
No Vital Organs Damaged
The spokesman stressed there
were no plans to move Soblen from
the hospital today. He said it ap
peared Soblen had damaged no vi
tal organs when he thrust the ser
rated knife into his body.
The suicide attempt came short
ly before the El Al airliner began
the descent for the landing at Lon
don Airport to refuel for the flight
to New York.
The ,62-year-old Lithuanian-born
spy, who had been sentenced to
life imprisonment for spying for
the Russians during wartime, lost
two pints of blood before his
stealthy suicide attempt was dis
covered by James McShane, chief
of U.S. marshals, and Israeli, po
nce nr. Heinnch Gottlieb.
Hides Knife
Soblen had secreted the knife
following dinner and hid it under
blanket. He stabbed himself
without making a sound and his
action went unnoticed until blood
started to well through the blan
ket he had wrapped around him
self.
A hospital spokesman said a
British detective was on guard in
Soblen s room.
The spokesman said Soblen had
not yet asked to see a British
legal representative "He doesn't
seem concerned at the moment
about his situation."
Soblen was expelled from Israel
early Sunday for illegal entry. He
jumped $100,000 bail in New York
last Tuesday to flee to Israel in
a desperate attempt to escape
serving a life sentence imposed by
a federal court for wartime es
pionage-:..-,rfc-- iVv..-? -a
intormed sources in rei aviv
said Soblen was expelled under
top secret conditions at the re
ouest of Premier David Ben-Gur-
ion. Soblen had entered Israel with
the Canadian passport of his dead
brother.
Neither the Tel Aviv magistrate,
who had ordered Soblen held for
10 days after his apprehension last
Thursday, nor the attorney Sob
len had retained were aware of
his expulsion until it had been
carried out.
A Ministry of Interior- spokes
man said the deportation was or
dered to "prevent a repetition of
fleeing offenders using Israel ior
asylum."

Senate Opens Debate
On Care Compromise
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
Senate opened debate today on a
bipartisan compromise medical
care for the aged bill. .
Worked out in consultation with
Republicans, the pending measure
calls for participation of the states
and private insurance companies
in a health' Care plan; It also, ex
tends health benefit coverage to
an 2.5 million persons not covered
by Social security.
The bill carries the sponsorship
of 23 senators, five of them Re
publicans. One of the burs back
ers, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey,
D-Minn., predicted a House ap
proval for the measure, if it wins
big margin of approval in the
Senate.
The estimated cost for a person
making a minimum of $5,200 a
year would be $13 a year. This
would cover limited hospital care,
plus limited nursing home and out
patient care. It also would cover
some drug costs.

Two Guards
SAN QUENTIN (UPI) Si
Death Row inmates at San Queo
tin Prison took two guards hos
tage in a hold effort to escape
early Monday and surrendered
three hours later amid a barraea
of tear gas shells.
We gambled and we lost."
said Luis Moya, one of the six
convicts. "We were going out the
gates.
They also surrendered two mini
they had taken from one of the
hostages, gun rail officer C.L. De
atrick. Deatrick was struck on
the head by the inmates but not
seriously injuried.
"We wanted to Bet out." War.
den Fred Dickson quoted tha in-
maies as saying. "We didn't have
much to lose. We're all going to
be executed anyway."
uicKson said the plans of the
six men went awry when they
discovered that the hostage
guards did not have keys to the
two heavy doors which seal off
death row.
No Chance, Says Warden
He said the convicts, flndlnir
this strategy foiled, planned to
use their hostages to persuade
prison officials to open the doors
and let the six convicted murder-'
ers walk out of the prison.
But, Dickson said, San Qeuntin,
policy is that even the warden
could be shot and guards would
still not be authorized to open the
gates and let inmates walk out
The tear gas, Dickson said, was
the principal reason the convicts
surrendered.
The first sign of trouble came
when Roy B. Kardell the guard
assigned to Death Row, tele
phoned at 1:07 a.m. and said
urgently, "We're in trouble." De
atrick went to his aid and mom
ents later associate Warden Dale
frady learned that both men'
were hostages.
The prisoners took a 38-callber
revolver and a 12-guage ahotgun
from Deatrick.
More than a dozen guards, led
by Associate Warden Louis Nel
son, massed o: a ledee outside
the row of cells occupied by the
conuemened men and fired tear
gas into the cell area at 2:45 a.m.:
The prisoners responded with a
telephone plea to Warden Fred
Dickson to "knock It off." Theys
said thoy would release the hos-,
tages when guards stopped flrlnj
tear gas.
The six involved in the escape
plot were identified as Moya,
Clyde Bates, Manuel Chavez, Au
gustine Baldonado, Wlllard Win
hoven, and David Blckley. All six
are convicted murderers.
Order Restored
James Neiswonger. supervisor nf
the parole violator unit, said the'
prisoners returned to their ' cells 1
at 4:07 a.m. and order was re-'
stored.'
He said only the six condemned '
men participated in the attempted
break, and that other Death Row
prisoners were urging them to
give up after the tear gas was
fired.
The six got out of their relt.'
by sawing the ban with a hack
saw. It was not known how or
where they obtained the hacksaw. '
Five of them sawed their way out
and thoy broke the lock on Win-
hoven's cell and released him.
Then they overpowered Kardell
and after that, Deatrick, who was
on duty on a gun rail within the
cell block. Neiswonger said they
probably struck Deatrick from be
hind with some instrument.
The prisoners held their first
conversation with the Warden at
2:30. They asked for two houra
to make up their minds but the
warden refused. Then they -asked
for an hour and the warden again
refused.
Nelson and Associate Warden
Walter Achuff were sent to talk
to the inmates. They persuaded
them to release the hostagei and
surrender.
Vhe prisoners, m agreeing to
surrender, asked only that they
not be harmed and that no re
prisals be taken against them.
Neiswonger said that it was un
likely the men would be punished.
"There's very little that can
happen to them," he laid. The
only likely punishment would be
for some of their privileges to be
withdraw!..
Bates, convicted for the "gas
bomb" murder of six patrons of
a Los Angeles tavern, waa ap
parently the ringleader ot the
escape, according to Associate
Warden Dale Frady.
