Rep. Jim Weaver, D-Ore., pushed the bill through the House Interior Committee’s subcommittee on mining, forest production, and the Bonneville Power Admini stration. The vote to send the bill to the full committee was 2-1 despite opposition from the Reagan administration. The vote followed a one hour subcommittee hearing in which Weaver said he was concerned that the chemical CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST & OMELETTES 9-11 AM WEEKDAYS b/\Gbl)6l(*)ie GAPb 754 E. I.)th 342-6963 2,4-D may cause cancer, muta tions and birth defects. “I can’t prove the direct rela tionship to human problems,” Weaver said. “I’m simply say ing that we shouldn’t use these agents until we can prove they are not harmful.” The chemical is used to kill vegetation that retards the growth of young, potentially marketable trees. U.S. Forest Service spokesperson R. Max Peter son said he would immediate ly halt the use of 2, 4-D if he thought any danger existed, but he said the latest En vironmental Protection Agen cy data showed little risk to humans. Dr. Logan Norris, a research chemist from the Pacific Nor thwest Forest and Range Ex periment Station in Corvallis, said the same chemical is used in lawn weed control. Norris said he suspected the danger is far greater to people who use 2,4-D on their lawns because they are not as knowledgeable about hand ling the chemical. Weaver charged that research justifying the chemical’s use was the result of “fraudulent and invalid data.” The government’s at titude was similar to the way it ignored warnings about asbestos, he said. “People who die of asbestos now didn’t know it was dangerous 20 years ago when they worked in asbestos plants," Weaver said. Tax credits expanded WASHINGTON (AP) — A bill to extend federal tax credits that encourage use of solar, wind and geothermal energy by homeowners and businesses was introduced Tuesday by Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore. The bill would extend the 40 percent residential credit from Dec. 31, 1985 to Dec. 31, 1990. The credit for businesses, now 15 percent, would be increas ed to 25 percent July 1. It also would be extended through 1990. Packwood’s bill also would lower the minimum temperature of harnessed geothermal heat sources for which a tax credit may be claimed to 104 degrees (40 degrees Celsius) rather than 122 degrees (50 degrees Celsius). The higher temperature is now required by the Internal Revenue Service. The change would enable tax credits to be taken for use of geothermal energy in several parts of Oregon, including Klamath, Deschutes, Jackson and Umatilla counties, Packwood said. uo BOOKSTORE Special runs May 18-25, 1983 MUSIC SALE!
