Of THEIR PLEA
Finally Ask Legal Aid for
Clarifying of Phrase
in Indictment
"You Rats!" 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.
. Spectators said, there, were 4 n
' tears; Chairs weTe arranged' and

Hardly was the printed ink dry

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

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. -" . ;

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.

A mere 770 Salem voters, S, per

lots in yesterday's special election
which gave approval of both
measures at Issue, the drainage
bonds by a 13-vote margin and
the warrant retiring bonds 1 to
1, complete unofficial returns"
compiled last night by Deputy Re-
corder Alfred Mundt showed. It
was the lightest rote in the city's
history, city, officials believed.
Election boards w hi led away
the day with next to nothing to do
and in. all wards completed the
counting of ballots within aahour
after the polls closed at 8 p. m.
Their official returns were sealed
in the ballot boxes, which prob
ably will be opened and checked
today by the canvassing' beard
which consists of the mayor and
the city recorder.
Ward Affected la
One of Two Opposed
Two of the five wards opposed
the drainage bonds. Through one
of them,- number six, which voted
52 yes, 72 no. the storm eewer,
which thU 1 2 2,0 0 0 issue will fi
nance will be constructed. Ward
seven voted 2 to 101 against the
measurer All wards favoredy- a"
large majority the sale of not to
exceed 8185,000 In bonds to re
tire all of the city's warrants.
Ordinances calling for the sale
of the two bond issues may be sub
mitted to the council at the ape- -cial
meeting Monday night, when
bids are to-be opened on 81.100,
000 worth of water bonds. Mayor
V. E. Kuhn said last night He ex
pressed pleasure at the election's
outcome, feeling the drainage im
provement would be a boon to
north central and east Salem -and
the other issue would effect a sub
stantial reduction in the city's in
terest charges. ,
The council may be asked to
limit the drainage securities to a
five-year term in the hope ot sell
ing ahem at an interest rate even
lower than the 3 per cent re
cently secured on Improvement re
funding bondij, City. Attorney
Chris J. Kowits said. Bankers,
he believed, would jump at the
opportunity of securing low-rate
five-year bonds, while they would
not bid on Issues of longer term.
