WASHINGTON LPli The
U. S. Chamber of Commerce
has called for a cut in federal
spending but the AKL-CIO said
the nation's needs must be put
ahead of costs on budget balan
cing. The conflicting views on the na
tion's fiscal program were con
tained in statements prepared for
a Varing by the Joint Congres
sional Economic Committee.
Walter Eackler, assistant econo
mic research director for the
chamber, said the government
spending was the greatest single
caese of inflation.
He said possible inflationary ef
fects of business or labor were
insignificar.1 when compared with
the "inflation generated by gov
ernment spending, taxing and debt
policies" and subsidy programs.
Eackler also urged a major
overhauling of the federal tax
structure. He said the present tax
system "penalizes success, dis
courages initiative and restricts
investment."

P. Iteuther, on the other hand,

World's Best Bridge Players In Contest
By JACK V. FOX
NEW YOKK UPI The world's
best bridge players are at their
favorite Sort this week so we
went over to the Statler Hilton to
check these rumors that some
times they cheat.
Last year there was a ruckus in
Rome when Italy beat America for
the world championship.
A couple of losers noised it
around that the winners used a sly
trick they held their fine Italian
hands up high in the air for good
cards and down low when they
got a stinker.
Well, we can report that if there
is skullduggery it's a lot more
subtle than a kick under the table.
The games are played in a glass
"fishbowl before oOO spectators.
We personally saw the Italians
keen their hands low all afternoon
and still draw good cards.
Sunday's match pitted Harry
Fishbci.i. owner of a New York
bridge ci 'b. and Lee Hazen. a
lawyer. ;s"nst Walter Avarelli,
an Italian in-iistrate, and Giorgio
Belladonna, yo'ing Roman public
utilities worker with a charming
smile.
We watched t!.:ir mannerisms
with unwavering intensity. Here
are what our notes show:
"Fishbein startles spectators by
drawing plaid tam-o-shanter on
head. Italians do not protest."
"Playing in glassed box, 10 by
10 feet, soundproof.' Equipped with
table, chairs, four ashtrays, jug ice
water, glasses, box Kleenex, mic
rophone. Referee and commentator
also in booth. Draped with Ameri
can. Italian, Argentine flags."
Argentina is also in the tourna
ment representing South America
against champions of North Amer
ica and Europe, i
"Players, never say 'pass.' Say
'no bid.' Italians speak English. ,'
Must wait three .to five seconds j
before making any bid lest hasty!
'no bid' indicate very weak hand."
"Afternoon round of play ends. ;
Americans win. Tournament goes!
on all week. No cheating ob-j
served."

Poorly Nourished Mothers Less

Tax Group Says
Plan Boosts Taxes
SALEM a'PIl-Tlie Stale Tax
Commission has estimated that
the average Oregon citizen would
pay slightly higher taxes under
the plan revealed by Gov. Mark
Hatfield than he would have un
der the budget proposed by ex
Gov. Robert D. Holmes.
Compared to present taxes,
some Oregonians will pay more
and some less under the Hatfield
program.
A married man with two de
pendents and a $8,000 income
now pays $!ll. He would have
paid $(16 under the Holmes plan
and $112 under Hatfield's.
A single man earning $6,000
who now pays $217 would pay $162
under the Hatfield plan, and $138
under Holmes' plan.
A single man with a $3,000 in
come now pays $72. Under the
Holmes budget he would pay $48
and under Hatfield's recommen
dations, $55.

fertilized eggs, whereas identical
twins come from one egg which
split at an early moment of de
velopment. The new scientific
knowledge threw no new light on
the causes of this splitting, but
it showed the mother's nutrition
al state was not important.
This new knowledge comes
from a satistical study by M.G.
Bulmer, a noted British statisti
cian, of birth rates in Norway,
Denmark, Sweden, The Nether
lands and Franco during World
War II and before and alter. The
populations of Norway, Tho Neth
erlands and France were severe
ly undernourished during the
war. Those of Denmark and Swe
den were not.
Bulmer established Hie propor
tion of twins to single births in
all those countries before the
war, when the food supply was
normal and their women were
normally nourished. He distin
guished fraternal twins from
idential twins by a mathemati
cal formula based upon the
known ratios of one king to the
other.
Then he established the propor
tion of both fraternal and identi-
Rancher Dies In Barn
Fire Near Estacada
ESTACAJJA (UPI I A 56-year-old
Estacada rancher died in a
barn fire on his property eight
miles east of here Sunday night.
Clackamas county sheriff's of
fice said Hector Herbert Anders
had gone into the barn to turn
out the livestock. The animals
were apparently out of the barn
when the fire started, officers
said.
An investigation was underway
to determine the cause of the
blaze. No estimate of damage was
immediately available.

and 5 children.
cal twins to single births during
the war years. A comparison of
these proportions to those of the
pre-war years showed a sharp
drop in fraternal twins" and none
of statistical significance) in
identical twins, but only in the
undernourished countries.
When this breakdown was
marie for the five post-war years
beginning in 1946, when the food
supplies were -becoming normal
again, the statistics showed that
the pre-war rate, of fraternal
twins to single births came back
almost at once and maintained it
self steadily.
In the countries where food
supnlies were not greatly dis
turbed, twin birth proportions re
mained pretty much lhe same be
fore the war, during the war, and
after the war. That the nutrition
of the mothers was involved was
underscored in yet another way.
During the war years, north'
west France was much better
nourished than the rest of
France. Eulmer isolated the sta
tistics for this region and showed
that its proportion of fraternal
twins to single births was like
that of well-nourished Denmark
and Sweden and was free of the
dip shown in the rest of France,
Norway, and The Netherlands.
Having arrived at these impres
sive statistical results, Bulmer
proceeded to account for them.
In mammals other than human,
undernourishment of the female
is known to result in a decrease
in litter size, he recalled.
In undernourishment, he con
tinued, there must be a decreased
ability of the ovary to produce
double eggs. Perhaps this is due
to a decreased secretion of the
hormone, of the pituitary gland
which stimulates the ovary. It is
known that a continued under
feeding of experimental animals
will cause a diminished secretion
of this hormone.
