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.

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
