June 4-11-18-25 Economic Force Is Used to Balk Nazi Revival of PoWer WASHINGTON, June 25 (UP) The United Nations are now engaged in a ruthless campaign to stamp out economic . spear heads in neutral European and Latin American countries and thus defeat the nazi plan ior a return to Jpower via (stepping stones in other nations, a senate committee was told today, . Assistant Secretary of , State William L. Clayton gave a sen ate military affairs subcommit tee detailed evidence of German plans to conduct economic infil tration of other nations during the period of allied occupation of their homeland, And he told how this country, along with other nations, is even now conducting a campaign of economic warfare against that po tent nazi threat, . In Latin-America; for instance, Clayton said the United States lias "eliminated" or is "in the process of eliminating" 654. out of 846 known "spearheads of axis economic penetration. In neutral European countries he said the allies used this coun try's economic position to -thwart nazi plans to gain post-war foot, holds. Among accomplishments he listed a Swiss law blocking German 'accounts and prodding a census of German property; a Spanish decree freezing control over assets or citizens or axis or axis-dominated countries; a sim ilar decree in Portugal and "sat isfactory progress" for like action in Sweden. The United States is convinced that German cartels played a great part in the rearmament of Germany alter tne last war, and Clayton told the committee first steps already have been taken to ward the dissolution of German international combines, and seize German patents and investments. Building Project Approval Mounts; Cigaret Tax Lags (Continued from Page 1 while in Salem, voters approved an extensive park area purchase, and refused a limited franchise to Salem Electric company, a cooperative. The defeated cigaret tax would have imposed a two cent levy on each pack sold or given away. Original estimates Indicated $2, 000,000 yearly income -from the impost for the benefit of Ore- gans common schools. Very little active campaigning for the tax was noted in the pre election days, though most school and teacher groups supported it The state building fund, al though it is titled a "tax levy" will impose no new taxes on property owhers because the "levy" will be offset by the exist ing tax surpluses. A total of $10,000,000 will be divided with $6,000,000 going to slate hospitals and other instltu tions, and $3,400,000 going into new construction for units of thi state system of higher education.
