Epithet Hurled at Alleged Kidnapers ; in Court Building . ' (CopriRlit. 1935. by Aisoclated Prs) TACOMA, Wash., Jane 29HJP) -Harmon M. Waley's last-minute decision today to ask for an at torney to explain the George Weyerhaeuser kidnap conspiracy indictment, delayed for 24 hours what appeared to be the Imminent guilty pleas ot his sad-faced 19-year-old wife and himself. He and Margaret Thnlin Waley, former Salt Lake City girl, had repeatedly rejected U. S. Judge E. E. Cushman's offer of legal counsel at government expense, in the kidnaping, conspiracy and e x t or 1 1 o n letter indictments against them and the fugitive Wll liam MahanJ4 : The young couple; accused of having had about half the $200, 000 ransom in their possession, pleaded that they had no money with which to employ counsel, and wanted no counsel. And,' when he was asked If he wanted to con fer with friends relative to ob taining an attorney, Waley an swered, with just a touch of bra vado: " "We haven't any friends." Judge Cushman had him repeat the statement. Woman Flinches as "Bad Name" Called A few minutes before, as she ran the gauntlet of cameramen and curious eyes in the corridor, , Mrs. Waley had flinched and stag gered, her head buried inside her white and tan checked coat when someone yelled, "Ton rats!"- - But after the indictments, were read and Judge Xusbmajsald be. was about to ask their pleas, Wa ley suddenly announced: -- : - - 1 'Td like to know: Where It says we all three conspired, does that mean before the kidnaping or after?" . -.. He did not augment his ques tion, but it was .believed to be a move in behalf of his wife, who is understood to contend that she knew nothing about the r'snatch" of nine-year-old ' George Weyer haeuser until after he was abduct ed. May "24. V , s " Seattle Attorney - V Accepted by Pair J Judge Cushman told Waley that the court could not advise him and suggested that lie allow ap pointment of-, counsel. Waley agreed and indicated Stephen J. O'Brien, Tacoma, who was intro duced as representing John F. Dofe, former mayor of k Seattle. Mrs. Waley's relatives had writ ten the court that they had con sidered employing Dore -as her lawyer. - - . - Waley refused Judge - Cush man's offer of an additional . at torney. Waley said, "I only want the indictment explained." The judge adjourned after setting 2 p. m., tomorrow for hearing pleas. A few minutes later, sitting in the -marshal's office, the Waleys were greeted by Waley sick mo ther, Mrs. Cleo Bonney, of Taco ma. Reported to have sat -unrecognized: through: the" arraign . ment, Mrs.'Bonney came into the marshal's office and kissed her son and daughter-in-law warmly. .

Samuel T, Walker, of Forest Grove was named vice-president. Only a few "of the pioneer le gions who crossed the plains in covered wagons or crossed' the Isthmus of Panama or made the long, long Toyage around Cape .Horn were present. Most of those present who were In Oregon by 1859, the year Ore gon became a state, were born here. - Perhaps the oldest native son at today's meeting was Joseph - L.

O Publication of List' Brings Many to Courthouse to Pay Up Back Taxes Hardly was the printed ink dry yesterday on Marlon county's fore closure notices on 1100 pieces of property before a score of taxpay ers took their way to the court house to pay in part or in full the claims for the years 1926-1930 on which the county has started its foreclosure proceedings. Not only were several hundred dollars of the taxes of that per iod paid in full but a number of taxpayers whose assessments do not reach back to 1931 came to the sheriff's office and settled in full for their tax claims. County officials were pleased with the response and were hope ful that long before the actual sale of the properties is conducted next fall, the majority of the' tax claims will be settled. The sheriff's office announced -yesterday that any taxpayer who owed taxes for 1926 to 1936? in uusiie, w uu kuuiu pay vacc o terest and penalties for that-per iod and one-tenth of the principal due, could secure a six TO9hiH twfltponement of the foreclosure,, Within that six months period if five-tenths of the tax is paid,, the foreclosure suit against the tax payer will be stopped and - two years will be granted for the";pay ment of the remaining four-tenths'-of the tax.

S) GOMES CONGRESS ACT REVIVES EXTRA SESSION TOPIC Senate Adoption of Pension Bill Clarifies Status of Oregon Measure Age Limit Appears as Only , Item Needing7 Change; Petaiis Awaited - Passage of the old-age pension act by the senate and the immi nence of its approval by the presi dent, brought talk at the state house yesterday that the special session of the legislature, under discussion tor months, might he called tor early fall. Governor Martin said he could give out no word on the exact date of the session until he had seen and read the legislation about to be approved and had de termined how it will fit in with the amendments to the Oregon old-age pension system enacted by the 1935 legislature. That session provided an en tirely new setup for old-age pen sions in Oregon, the legislation to become effective when the money appropriated by congress for old-age pensions was made available. State Will Match U. S. Contributions The new Oregon pension plan embraces the following salient features: Administration is to be in the hands of the state relief commit tee and of the 36 county relief committees instead of with the county courts as was provided in the original old-age pension act passed in 1933 and effective Jan uary 1, 1934. One-half the funds will come from the federal government, one fourth from the state government and one-fourth from the counties. No exact determination is made in the law of the pension to be granted to aged persons, the general- provision berng-ihat-" rea. sonable subsistence compatible with decency and health" shall be allowed. Not more than 330 a month total pension can be grant ed, however, and the committee In the counties aad the state re lief committee are authorized to take into account the amount of funds available for old-age pen sions. In the new act passed by Ore gon and shortly to be effective there is no requirement that an applicant have been a resident and citizen of the United States for 15 years but all applicants must be citizens of the United States. They must have resided five of the previous ten years in Oregon instead of ten years as provided in the present pension law. The relief committee's pension payments are made a lien on any estate the pensioner may leave at his or her death and the commit tee has the right to require that all property owned by the pen sioner be deeded to the relief committee to be held subject to the claim for the pension moneys advanced, when the pensioned person shall die. Lower Age Limit May Be Necessary The new Oregon act provides no pensions for persons less than 70 years old. The federal act shortly to become law provides for pension assistance by the fed eral government to persons .65 years or more of age. . This is the only point which would . necessarily come before a special session. If the Oregon legislature wished to match fed eral funds it could reduce its pen sion limits to 65 years. However, the act which passed the senate allowed the federal government . for two years to make pension payments to states which had not provided 'match funds. Statehouse officials yester day thought it might be possible for Oregon to obtain these funds and to accrue them for the bene fit of future pensioners between 65 and 70 years ot age. ' Marion county Is now paying pensions, to about 470 persons each month. The average pension payments are $8.50 a month. The county provided. $50,000 for pen sions in Its current budget and $60,000 for the relief of Indigent and unemployable persons. Per sons who receive .Indigent' relief cannot at the same time receive pensions. -" . ; py Tampering Ca uses Mistrial In Minor Action PORTLAND, June 20.-fiV-A mistrial because "of alleged tam pering with a Juror was declared today by Circuit Judge Jacob Kanzler In the Thomas E.

SENATE BALKS AT H TAX SCHEME Committee Refuses to Tie It to Nuisance Levy; ; May Not Be 'Must' WASHINGTON. June 20.-)-A mid -July adjournment and President Roosevelt's fortune-reducing tax program vied today for uppermost place In the mind of congress. - The senate finance committee, at the outset, refused to approve a plan to hook the . presidential tax program, enunciated in a sur prise message to congress yester day, to the pending $500,000,000 nuisance tax legislation. Democratic, leaders, moreover, generally were divided, on the question of putting the president's tax legislation up for congression al consideration before adjourn ment of this session. One report that went without contradiction was that Mr. Roosevelt would send word to the senate finance committee shortly that the pro gram did not require immediate consideration. Another phase of the adminis tration's social program,- the so cial security bill, today was sent to the house by the senate for agreement on changes the latter had made In the message. While there was fairly common belief that the bill would go to Mr. Roosevelt's desk for his signature in reasonable time, controversy was definitely possible. The sen ate amendment to. exempt private pension systems maintained by in dustrial concerns from the terms of the proposed act was potential of trouble in the house. The Rooseveltian program in general, but specifically th o.se parts" of . It subjected to suprem e court ruling, came In for a sharp slap tonight from a leading re publican figure.

Ore., June 20 -Informed circles tonight sal Portland lumber operators con templated reopening their plants Monday, Operators said they have re ceived more than 1500 replies to their Tuesday advertisement ask ing men to return to work. This was discounted, however, by union officials who declared 2000 sawmill and timber workers' union members last night assured their leaders they intend to "sit tight" in their strike for recogni tion and better wages. ' Union forces declared the em ployers can't hire enough skilled help to effectuate reopening. Un ion men were cheered by house passage of the Wagner labor dis putes bill. The Portland union today drop ped its circuit court. suit for a permanent injunction to restrain law enforcing agencies from pre venting picketing, declaring its battle was won when Sheriff Mar tin T.
