Roger Wolff of the Senators
pitched the sixth one-hit game of
the season in beating his ex
mates, Philadelphia's Athkmcs at
Washington, 0 to 0. He yielded
only one walk and a blow over
shortstop that Ha Peck stretched
to a double by fast base-running.
Good pitching also was tha meas
ure of difference as the Senators
also took the second game, 5 to 3
on little Marino Pieretti's six-hit-tcr.
It was Wolff's seventh vic

Mr. and Mrs. Haruld Dow, La
Grande, have received a letter
from their son, Cpl. Harold Dow,
who is now stationed in Goose
Bay, Labrador, describing the
country.
Portions of his letter follow:
"The way wc have been travel
ing these past few days is the
only way to do it. All you have
to do is climb aboard one of those
big C-5 (four-motor transpoits)
lean back in plush and chromium
reclining seals and let the ATC
do the rest. In n few hours you
are miles away from where you
started.
"Wo left Paris about noon on
the 8th and flew across the chan
nel over England to a base in
noi thorn Scotland. After a brief
rest and a meal there wo took oil
again and whan wc landed were
in Iceland.
' It is nothing but rocks and
Niesscn huts although everyone
here swears it, is a paradise com
pared to Greenland. The only
reason we are here now, I guess,
is the fact that there was too
much overcast to land on Green
land so we had to come on and
land here. All we're doing nov
is waiting.
"This is really quite n pleasant
spot in Iho summer at least. Kind
of like Wallowa lake with its pine
trees. Just like camping out with
very little to do except see a
movie, read, play ping pong, etc.
Quite n change from Paris."
Corporal Dow graduated from
the local high school with the
class of HMD. He was active in
football, having played on the all
star team that year. He att.-nd-ed
Kaslcrn Oregon college two
years, and was a senior at the
university when he entered the
aimy three years ago. He has
been serving in the army com
munications service.

Veterans Chalk Up
Three Shut-outs
In Coast League
By United Press
Stellar pitching performances
gave three veterans shutouts lust
night in the only Pacific coast
league games scheduled.
Hal Turpin, 39, whitewashed
the San Diego Padres with two
hits as the Seattle Rainicrs chalk
ed up a 5-0 triumph; Newt Kim
ball, 30, blanked San Francisco
on six hits as Hollywood won,
8-0; and Guy Fletcher, 31, Sacra
mento, zeroed Portland with sev
en blgws, 2-0.
11 was the first lime this year
the pitchers showed such one
sided superiority, although in the
past 'two weeks two one-hitters
have been tossed. Generally, the
sluggers have been holding the
edge.
Beavers Are Humbled
Fletcher's seven-hitter against
the heavy-hitting and league
leading Portland Beavers was the
outstanding mound job. Syd Co
hen started for the Beavers but
was lifted in favor of Feder
meycr in the eighth.
The underdog Hollywood club
broke out in a rash of bass hits to
count seven times in a big fourth
inning on five successive singles,
with the help of two errors, to
clinch their game with San Francisco.

STATE BPDILPDKIG FTO
The special election June 22 gives the people of
Oregon an opportunity to vote on a measure that
means much to the future of (he State and its citizens,
particularly its returning war veterans. Approval of the
measure will establish a post-war building fund of
$10,000,000 of which $4,000,000 will be for higher
education and $6,000,000 for other state buildings.
This fund will insure: adequate facilities for veterans,
make possible long overdue improvements to the
general state institutions, and provide a sizable
employment project when war workers arc released.
Present tuberculosis hospitals are inadequate. In
normal times there is a long waiting list for admit
tance. More adequate facilities will be provided for
the training of doctors, whose services are,, sorely
needed. These can be done without increasing taxes,
even though the measure authorizes a so-called
property levy to produce $5,000,000 in 1946 and a
like amount in 1947. That is because the income tax
in Oregon was created for property tax relief and
funds from it can be used for no other purpose
without a vote of the people. The bill provides a levy
against real property merely to permit utilizing the
income tax surplus. . ':'.''. j ,-
Thus the measure will not mean the collection of
any additional real estate taxes. It will not mean any .
additional income taxes cither, because the legis
lature provided for the surplus to be held in a reserve .
fund if the building measure fails to pass. - J,

Deserves Support of All Citizens
"The program submitted by the legislature which will,

of all citizens."
The Oregonian,
'We arc clearly of the opinion that the proposed tax ler?
of $10,000,000 for a state building fund . . . will not be
levied on property in any part, but will be fully paid from
state income tax revenues. , .
"Wc can sec no reason that the proposed tax should hare
any effect whatever on income tax rates or exemptioni."
Chartca V, Galloway Karl It. Day,'
Earl L, Fisher, State Tax Commission
Cannot Fall On Property
"It is a tax that was not intended to fall on property and
cannot fall on property, for it is clearly provided in the hill
that it is a levy 'to be offset, as arc other state taxes, by funds
derived from taxes on or measured by net incomes'."
