State Industry Leader Defends Tax Measure The general manager of the As sociation of Oregon Industries urged approval of the tax referral measure and defended the present state tax bill in a talk here Mon day. Ivan Congleton was speaker at a meeting attended by AOI mem bers and business leaders of the Roseburg area. Others present from the AOI (which represents employer groups around the state) were Charles Ogle, assistant to the AOI presi dent and Douglas Heider, director of the Oregon Retail Council. Also attending were State Sen. Al Flegcl aim siiue nep. aia Lenten. Congleton said AOI felt little woum De gained Dy calling a spe cial legislative session to settle the question of tax increases to balance Oregon's budget, which will be put before the voter Oct. IS. Legislators would probably ac complish little more than they did in the last session, he indicated. Budget Explained The general fund budget for the next biennium is $404 million, a $60 million increase over the pre vious biennium's budget. Part of this stems from the fact that $33 million in surplus from the previ ous budgets was used to balance the last budget. This has to be made up in this budget. Congleton said this could have been avoided by cutting the budget back mainly in the educational field broadening the minimum tax base from 1 to l'4 per cent and passing a cigarette tax. These are some of the steps AOI is support ing. His main contention is that if a special session is called, it will hit the businessman in the belt with more corporate and business taxes. He said AOI foresaw what was coming and advocated to legisla tors a number of bills including those he said would have headed off the increase in the budget. ' Effects Cited ' The speaker warned that defeat of the referral measure could re sult in a speed-up of withholding tax and estimated tax returns, an increase in insurance company taxes and an increase in wine and beer taxes. He discussed each one of these items. For instance, it was stated an increase in alcoholic taxes would just about put the only winery in Oregon out of busi ness, and, an increase in insurance company takes would greatly hind er infant companies just starting in Oregon. Congleton expressed fear that the referral measure might be de feated as result of a possible bad image created by the legislature or because Oregonians might not know what is in the tax bill, . Rejection of the measure would mnn nnk 1 . 1 mean mai. caul ucpai uuuui UUUGl the general fund might have to be cut by as much as 25 per cent. If the entire cut were to be taken fron the education program (which represents 62 per cent of the general fund), the education outlay would be cut by one-third. The speaker pointed out that the latter possibility is not feasible. Council Fathers Approve Debate On Document VATICAN CITY (UPI) The Ecumenical Council gave "nearly unanimous" preliminary approval today to a document that could mark a great step toward Chris tian unity. During a three-hour session, about 2,300 Roman Catholic pre lates ruled that the proposal "de ecclesia" about the church was fit for further debate. Authoritative sources said the council "will now begin a point-by-point discussion." The Latin debate may go on for weeks be fore there is a final vote. The document goes a long way towards espousing the cherished Protestant doctrine of "the priest hood of all believers." There was no immediate offi cial communique or press breif ing. Official details of today's ses sion probably will be given out later in the afternoon. The first working session of the council Monday made it clear, of ficial informants said, that the draft enjoyed predominant sup port, especially from the "liber als" who are bent on a far reaching renewal of the church to help make Christian unity pos sible. The long "De Ecclesia" docu ment includes sections on the na ture of the church, the powers of bishops and their relationship to the Pope in the government of the church, and the role of laymen in Catholic life. An authoritative source said the draft stresses that there is in common, rather than the differ ences, between the Pope and other bishops, between oraainea clergymen and laymen, and be tween Catholic and non-Catholic Christians. It defines the church in biblical language as "the people of God" and says that all of the people of God are united in a basic equality. Although the document clearly reiterates the traditional Catholic teaching that Christ conferred spe cial powers upon the apostles (and their successors, the---bishops of today), it emphasizes that "those who stand out in power as minis ters serve their brothers."

For the second time in 12 months "strongman" President Ahmed Ben Bella is fighting to retain his hold. At stake are his one-party, one man rule and his dream of mak ing Algeria a left-leaning "peo ples' republic."

(UPI) British Foreign Secre tary Lord Home today welcomed Russia's renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy and warned Communist China that a nuclear conflict would annihilate it. .Home, in a policy speech to the General Assembly, told the new countries of Asia and Africa to drop their cry of "neo-coloni- County alisin" unless they want to lose investment capital from the de veloped countries.

They proclaimed a so called "front of socialist forces" pledged to set up a new government. The revolt was centered in the Kabylia capital of Tizou-Ouzou. Its two main leaders are Hocine Ait Ahmed, a dissident member of Ben Bella's one-party parlia ment and Col. Mohand Ou El Hadj, former commander of the Seventh Military District. Sent In Troops In a swift counter-move Ben Eella stripped the colonel of his command and sent in troops and tanks to try to re-occupy the re bellious area. But the challenge to Ben Bella is far from over. Its roots are both racial and political. The 2-million Berbers are of a different stock from the 7-million Arabs who dominate Algeria. They are descendants of original inhabitants of North Africa before the Arabs came 1,200 years ago. They are lighter skinned and speak a different language, al though both arc Moslems. Ben Bella is an Arab. Most of his opponents are Berbers The Berbers were among the fiercest fighters against the French in Algeria's seven-year- war of Independence. They fought When the war ended last year. the bulk of the so-called "Nation al Liberation Army" which had sat it out for years in the safety of neighboring Tunisia and Mo rocco without firing a shot, moved in and took over. Took Best Jobs It grabbed control of the coun try and it seized the best jobs. ine guerrillas of the Kabyle Mountains who bore the brunt of the fighting still harbor a deep grudge over this. One year ago Ben Bella and his supporters had to fight a brief but bitter civil war before winning control. The Berbers bowed to superior force, but they never really yielded. The Dissidents are believed to have between 8,000 and 10,000 troops many of them veterans of the revolutionary period who battled bravely for years against the French. Against them Ben Bella has far stronger forces and the bulk of the army's heavy tanks and guns. The ami-Ben Bella groups can not hope to whip him in a stand up fight. But they can take again to their mountains and wage an other guerrilla struggle as they did against the French. It would be difficult for Ben Bella to de feat them there.

Compromise Frees Local Accountant A Grand Jury indictment against Arthur I. Rich, local accountant and former restaurant operator, has been dismissed in Circuit Court on the basis of a compromise with the allegedly injured party. Rich was accused of being an employer failing to make agreed payments to a health and welfare fund in accordance with a collec tive bargaining agreement under union contract. The employe involved was Ger trude Wood, who contended she was employed from Aug. 1, 1960, to Sent. 27. 1961, but that her em ployer had failed to make payments required by terms ot ine agree ment to the health and welfare fund. The indictment was returned se cretly Sept. 12, but was made pub lic on appearance of Rich in court Monday. Judge Don H. Sanders is sued an order on the basis of. the compromise staying the prosecu tion and discharging the defendant. The order stated: "It should be further noted that the state, by and through its Deputy Dist. Atty. Thomas D. O'Dell concurs in the dismissal." The compromise stated: "I, Ger trude Wood, state that I am the party injured in the above men tioned transaction and by this writing intend to indicate to the court that I have received com plete satisfaction for such injury. I request the court to exercise its discretion allowed it by . . . stat ute in staying the prosecution and that the defendant be discharged." she will learn as she gains nuc lear knowledge that all her mil lions would not save her from annihilation if nuclear war were to break.

Sees Some Value The lean and balding British leader said he could see some value in Russia's proposal for an 18-nation disarmament summit conference in Moscow next year if preliminary talks showed a pos sibility of agreement on: Refusal of countries having nuclear weapons to give them, or the secret of making them, to countries that do not have them.

Its profile is only three inches longer than in 1961-2-3. Yet you will find a roomier rear compartment, with four inches more leg room and 2.5 inches more knee room than in 1963. This makes for twice the knee room of the 1961 and 1962 Continental. And the luggage compartment is 15 larger, for a total increase of 33 over 1961-2. But with all this added space, the Con tinental retains all the qualities that set it apart from every other automobile: 1. Timeless styling is a prime reason the Continental retains so high a value. 2. The Continental is available in just two models: the sedan and the converti ble. There are no lower priced models, because there is no compromise of its standards to offer lesser versions. 3. Both the sedan and the convertible struction contributes to its unequaled ride. 5. Within, virtually every luxury is in cluded as standard equipment. 6. The Continental also includes all power auxiliaries as standard equipment. 7.
