Smooth For Tax WASHINGTON (UPI) The heart of the administration's $11.1 billion tax cut bill a slash in rates for 'every U. S. taxpayer appeared today Ui be headed toward approval by Senate tax writers. The Senate Finance Commit tee delayed until next week a decision on the across-the-board cuts provided in the bill passed by the House last Sept. 25, but it appeared unlikely that any chages would be made. Chairman Harry F. Byrd, D Va., said Friday the committee hoped to' finish work on the bill next week, possibly by V ednes day. This should mean that Sen ale leaders will be able to abide by their promise to the Prcsi dent to get the bill to the Sen' ate floor late this month or car ly in February, as urged by President Johnson. .' Some members of the 17-man committee have indicated they would like to see greater cuts in the individual tax rates for persons with incomes in the 125,000-to-$50,000 a year range - But the committee consensus seemed to be that to tinker with 1 the rate schedule now could un balance the bill by millions of dollars and jeopardize its 'chances for final passage '.Among members interviewed by 'UPI there was a growing belief that the rates approved by tho bouse were about the best politi cally and financially that could '.be devised. Under the House bill, federal 'Income tax rates, now ranging from a low of 20 per cent to high of 91 per cent, would be scaled back to a low of 14 per cent and high of 70 per cent. This would give approximately 51 million American taxpayers an over-all net tax reduction of about $8.8 billion when fully ef fective in 1905. The Senate committee already has approved without change house provisions cutting corpor ate taxes in two steps from the present 52 per cent top to a new 48 per cent maximum for a to tal of $2.3 billion in benefits to U. S. businessmen. The committee, in a surprise 12-5 vote Friday, took a giant step toward recapturing reve nues through tax "reforms" and toward removing the "rich man's bill" onus from the meas ure. The vote stripped from the bill a treasury-opposed provision that would have given additional lax relief to persons profiling from the salo of stocks and property. It meant a long-term revenue guin of $200 million, a key victory for the admlnistra lion. i Treasury officials had worked hard to lino up support for tho action and their work paid off. It was the only section Treas ury Secretary Douglas Dillon asked the Senate to kill when he opened his drive for Senato ap proval of the measure last year, llo termed it unacceptable be cause it would Rive undc bene fits lo tho wealthy. The disputed provision would change the formula for taxing capital gains and give most tax payers who receive income from gains on stocks and property larger benefits than on Other types of income.

II, 1964 LOCAL MAN DOES IT! Perfect Bowling Game Was Thrill See picture, ptgo 1 A proud and nappy young Roseburg man who had to be talked into bowling Friday night because he didn't feel well is feeling just great today. Thirty-one-year-old Dick Han sell blasted his way into bowl ing's magic circle Friday night when he fired the fabled dozen strikes in a .row a perfect 200 game. Recalling the thrill of the thrilling moment only two hours after his name had been added to the stellar 300 Club, Hansel! told The News-Review, "After I got that 11th one I was so nervous 1 didn t think I was going to be able to make it to the foul line." But he made it to the foul line, and the hall that was des tined to turn a dream into reality started out wide, then hooked sharply into the pocket and swet all 10 pins from the alley. Daughter Criti Hansen's 5-year-old daughter, Tracy, was at the Four Winds Bowl in Sutheilin when her father rolled his perfect game. When all the other bowlers be gan pounding him on the back and congratulating him, she thought they were trying to hurt him and started crying. But the big smile on her daddy's face soon made her happy again. The Roseburg bowler's per fect game came on the first game of a three-game series in the Arc - sanctioned Men's Scratch League at the Four Winds Bowl in Sutherlin. Ac cording to Four Winds manager Herb Reed, Hansell will re ceive a $1,000 bond from t h e Oregon State Bowling Proprie- tors Association, plus his choice of several gifts from the Amer ican Bowling Congress. There have been two sanc tioned 300 games bowled in the Roseburg - Sutherlin Bowling Association. The first, also roll ed at the Four Winds, came from Sutherlin bowler John Til- ley. Two 299 games have also been rolled at Four Winds. One of the many unusual twists to Friday night's perfect game was that Tillcy was bowl infi on a pair of alleys next to Hansell and was among the first to offer his congratu lations. Perhaps the strangest twist of all. however, was the fact that despite this perfect game his team lost that game and in fact lost all four points. Han sell followed up the 300 game with a -203 and a 180, for a 683 scries. Interest Lukewarm Hansell, who was bowling for Sandy McBride's Western Auto Store, had not really felt like bowling. But when Reed called him and told him the team would be a man short if he couldn't make it, he decided to go. The rest of the story unfold- d in 12 straight strikes. The happy bowler's wife, Clara, was working at Mont gomery Ward s in Roseburg at the time and was unable to watch her husband fire the per fect game When he called her shortly after the game, she didn't quite believe him at first. But then, when she could tell how out of breath he was, she knew it must be the truth. Demos Pick Aides Here Democratic Central Commit tee Chairman Dr. Jason Boe of Recdsport today named sub committee chairmen for the Platform and Resolutions Com mittee for the 1964 Douglas County convention. Boe said these chairmen and their committees, alonj with Randolph Slocum, chairman of the committee, will prepare the platform and resolutions for fi nal consideration by the dole- gates to the platform eo I en- tion to be held In Roseburg Jan. 25 and 26.

Cooling Trend Noted The five-day weather forecast according to the Weather Bu reau station at the Roseburg airport calls for a cooling trend with temperatures averaging n.'ar or slight'y below normal with highs mostly 38 to 45 and lows of 25 to 38. Precipitation is expected to be moderate, mostly in the form of rain. Hansell, who at once time worked at Roseburg Bowl, bas been bowling about 4Va years During that time he bas biti 299 and 297, but never in sanctioned game before. This was the big one. He and TiUey are the only members of this association who have struck their wcy into the magic 300 circle on a Roseburg-Sutherlin alley.

(UPI) A man presumed to have been murdered and cast into the sea almost a year ago was arrested Friday night for the brutal killing of his girl friend's 11-month - old daughter, .police reported. In a bizarre, sometimes con fusing case, police discovered the man who is accused of criminally assaulting and fatal ly beating . Shirley Marie De Jaeger actually is Richard Den ms McCutcheon of North Bend, Ore., who has been missing since last March. A man and woman now in prison for stealing McCut chcon's car "confessed" to Ven tura, Calif., authorities 10 months ago they killed the Ore gon man, throwing his body into the ocean north of Ven tura. The body was never found and the district attorney refused to issue a murder complaint against the couple Clarence E. Parker and Rosalie Eaton. McCutcheon, who was arrest ed after an attempt to flee back to Oregon, told a some what different version, although UP Role In Wood Product Haul Viewed At Session Southwest Oregon Shippers, Traffic officers and directors this week met in Roseburg with top transportation officials of Union Pacific Railroad from Portland and Omaha, Neb., to discuss the UP's responsibility and participation in the supply of rail cars to move the enor mous tonnage ot forest products from Southwest Oregon to all points in the U.S. According to SOSTA's statis tics compiled during the year 1963, the Union Pacific par ticipates In 40 per cent of the entire rail routings shipped from Southwest Oregon. It, therefore, has next to the South ern Pacific the greatest stake in this area. SOSTA members are convinced the SP alone can not supply the great gaily num ber of cars of the type to prop erly move their products. All rails participating in the freight revenue from their shipments must recognize their responsi bility to help supply the cars necessary to move these prod ucts according to SOSTA offic ials. Situation Changes At one time not too many years ago the mills in South west Oregon would load their products in anything on wheels. In fact, they sometimes wait ed as long aa 30 days for a rail car. This situation has changed for the better, but changing times have brought more serious problems in the matter of rail car supply. Auto- mation, unitized packaging, in centive rates on higher tonnage per car and competitive buy ers demands have made obso lete the small box and flat cars The shippers now need wide door boxes and 50 foot and longer flats.

The trial was conducted before Judge Don H. Sanders, who issued a judgment in ac cordancc. The plaintiff had sued to col lect on an insurance policy for death benefits in the death of her husband Rudy Lee Morgan The question of valid claim based on issuance of the policy was at issue in the case. mand shipment in wide door box cars to enable them to use mechanical unloading devices There arc relatively few of the wide door boxes in the entire U.S. rail car fhet (latest fig ures show 25 per cent). If i shipper cannot get a wide door and ships in a small door, the buyer sometimes charges him from $50 to $150 to cover the unloading charges of a small door car versus a wide door. In addition to this buyer problem, the shipper can save a comparative amount if he loads mechanically into a wide door car. Problem Seen The Southern Pacific has built and is still building only wide door boxes as are other west ern railroads, including the Un ion Pacific. But the big prob lem is getting these cars back to the shippers' lines once they leave same or having connect ing lines aid in the supply of this equipment. The buyers will buy from the areas which guar antee wide door cars and this puts Oregon shippers at a dis advantage. Southwest Oregon shippers will continue to fight for the type of equipment ncc essary to move their products on a competitive basis. Representing Union Pacific were Norman Marvin, general freight traffic manager from Omaha, Dan Bowen, general superintendent of transportation from Omaha, George Brown. general traffic manager, Harry Crawford, superintendent of transportation and Vera Kee, as sistant traffic manager, all of Portland, and Jack Athcrton, general traffic agent from Eu gene. SOSTA's group was headed by Tom Reynolds Jr., president; Fred Sohn. vice president; and Lee Stewart, executive secre tary and traffic manager. M3) v.v; 4: -X :' .-. i La I ily differences. He said he picked up Parker and Miss Ea ton driving through Oregon. and later permitted one to drive while he rested in the back. Near Santa Rosa, Calif., about 200 miles north of Ventura, he was dropped from the car after being robbed, according to ii Cutcheon's story. After wander ing for days, McCutcheon de cided to take advantage of the episode to disappear, assuming new name,. John Lafayette Green, Morgan said. Both the "confessed killers apparently believed McCutch eon was cither dead or badly injured, Morgan said. The tot's body was found in the home of her mother, Mrs. Barbara DeJaeger, with whom the suspect had been living for the past month. Detectives said Mrs. DeJaegcr had left the girl and her 4-ycar-old son with Mv Cutsjheon. The body was not harmed. "I must have done it," police quoted McCutcheon as saying. "It had to be me, but I don't remember." He was arrested at Santa Monica, 165 miles north of here in the stolen car of a neighbor. He was booked on suspicion of -murder, crimi nal assault and car theft. WW t I t .M v., Hrr-rltl !1 ,1 J. Salem Will Host Safety Session Paul W.
