Man Missing
In Bilbo Case
WASHINGTON, Dec. l2.-(P)-A
story of death threats against a
key witness was laid before the
senate war investigating commit-
tee today as it pressed an inquiry
into allegations that Senator Bil
bo (D-Miss) reaped benefits from
his relations with war contrac
tors. George Meader, committee coun
sel, said the witness is Edward P.
Terry, former secretary to Bilbo.
Meader said the committee has
been unable to learn his where
abouts since last Saturday and
that efforts to subpoena him have
been unsuccessful.
Terry until last January was
Bilbo's secretary.
A letter was read into the rec
ord, addressed to Chairman Mead
(D-NY) and signed with Terry's
name.
Dated December 2, it recalled
that last April "I was, in the pres
ence of witnesses, told that I
I would be killed if I gave out any
I information I might have detri
mental to Senator Bilbo."

Bigger Cut of
State Revenue
(Story also on Page 1)
Greater responsibilities of
cities to their ever-increasing
populations was cited as the ma
jor factor in proposals for the
sharing of state taxes with city
governments in the areas in
which revenues are collected, at
last night's regional conference
of the League of Oregon Cities at
the Golden Pheasant restaurant
in Salem.
George P. Stadelman, league
president and The Dalles mayor,
enumerated four major reasons
for need of state-collected reve
nue by cities. His reasons follow:
(1) Oregon's 25 per cent pop
ulation increase since 1940 cre
ates need for added facilities and
more government.
(2) Increased costs of mainte
nance and improvement, not
done during the war years.
Increase In Wages
(3) Increase in wages for city
employes, in order to compete
wiui ii.uu.uy H"'",:'l;, own chairman. They get $50 a day
Dloyes on a cost of living index,! . " -

Assessed valuations of some
sections of most cities have in
creased little from the time they
were vacant lots to the present.
j
when nomes are consruciea on
the lots, Herman Kerli, execu
tive secretary of the league, said.
Ask Tax Increase
Het old of an incident at Eu
gene where residents .of a newly
developed area actually asked for
the assessed valuation of their
property be increased, as present
taxes were not adequate lor con -
struction of sewage disposal m -
nhties and other utilities.
In this case, he, said, the an-
swer to their request said that
property in the entire county
the
must be re-evaluated when such I
action is taken, and that such ef
fort for the whole area would
require three or four years. Sev
eral instances were cited in Eu
gene where the assessed valua-
' tion of complete homes remained
as low as $41 the valuation de
termined before the house was
constructed on the lot.
Highway Revenues
Virgil Langtry, legal consultant
for the league, discussed pro
posed moves to legislate for dis
tribution of highway commission
revenues to cities. He stated that
half of the cars aie owned by
city residents and that at least
half of the traffic begins in or
centers around the city.
The state highway commission
has an accumulated balance of
$17,000,000. he said.
