on "planning." They think a cent

how many snap beans to plant, -J
how many merry-go-rounds to let
operate,: how many tractors to
manufacture, better, that is, than

goes on to see that the plans arc

government directives.
We had central planning and
directives In agriculture in new

crops and penalties for planting
over allotments; and all countries
had strict controls of their eco

because of nationalization of im

Job-Seekers Beginning to i
Crowd Local Employment Office
By, Cenrad Prance
Staff Writer, The Statesman
An earlier prediction of the
Salem employment service office
that this winter would see a large
unemployment load in Marion
county, is coming true this week
as job seekers began to crowd
the office.
About 400 daily are passing
through the Ferry street office
searching for jobs and filing un
employment benefit claims. This,
an official said Tuesday, is an
unusually high figure for this time
of year. In average years, he
said, the office experiences the be
ginning of heavy traffic around
mid-November.
A decrease in anticipated can
nery employment and a slackened
agricultural demand appear to be
main reasons for the numbers of
jobless, the office spokesman said.
Students seeking part-time jobs
and in-migrants from other states
also are contributing factors.
Unlike last year's local employ

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Oct. 8
-(p)-Two more ex-servicemen ac
cused of stealing atomic secrets
from the Los Alamos atomic proj
ect were arrested in New Mexico
today by the federal bureau of
investigation.
The Albuquerque field office of
the FBI said the men, both for
mer army photographers at the in
stallation, were Ernest Lawrence
Paporello, 30, of Albuquerque, and
George Wellington Thompson, 38,
of Riverside, N. M., 85 miles north
of here and about 20 miles from
Los Alamos.
They were charged In com
plaints filed at Santa Fe with tak
ing property and records from the
project which the FBI said con
sisted of photographs containing
classified information. . The com
plaints contained only general de
scriptions of the pictures includ
ing background, and gave no clues
to the nature of their information.
In addition, Thompson was ac
cused of taking two photos from
the army's Sandia base, super-secret
weapons project at the east
edge of Albuquerque. As in earlier
cases of the same nature, the FBI
said all films and photographs
were recovered. One agent said
that "as far ai we can learn" none
if the pictures was put to any use.
Paporello, described as an itin
erant photographer and a native
of Union City, N. J., was taken in
to custody at an Albuquerque stu
dio where the federal agents said
he was employed prior to his ar
rest t
. Thompson waa 'arrested at his
photographer's shop in Espanola,

Doctors Urge
Medical Plan
For Wartime
WASHINGTON, Oct 8 -WD
Unstable international conditions
make It imperative that doctors
create a "nationwide emergency
medical plan" to care for cas

the United States, President Ed
ward L. Bortz of the American
Medical association said tonight
"In the next conflict all areas
of the nation may be vulnerable,"
he told the annual assembly of
the District of Columbia Medical
society.
"If we have atomic warfare
there may be thousands of civil
ian casualties and we must be
prepared to care for them."
He suggested in an interview
later that first aid and medical
care teams of civilian doctors
should be organized throughout
the nation. He said that key cen
ters for medical care also should
be set up, widely dispersed
throughout the country.

British Robot Plane
Attempts to Beat
Speed of Sound
PADSTOW, England, Oct 8 i-(JP)-A
small robot rocket plane,
built to fly 900 miles an hour,
streaked vertically into the sea
today, two minutes after being
launched from a Mosquito bomber
in the first of new experiments
with flights faster than sound.
British scientists refused to
comment until they can examine
data recorded by radio from in
struments aboard the Robot on
whether the plane actually passed
through the mysterious "sonic
barrier".
One observer said it appeared to
be a "reasonable assumption" that
it did crash through the barrier
and reach a speed beyond that of
sound.
The robot, launched at an alti
tude of 36,000 feet glided for only
15 seconds before turning its nose
down just as its 2,000-horsepower
alcohol-burning motor belched its
first puff of smoke.

Labor, died of a stroke tonight a
few hours after collapsing while,
addressing the AFL's International
convention.
The 56-year-old labor lawyer
had just begun an attack In , the

water and knocked it over. He
was half-carried from the plat
form and taken to Stanford hos
pital, where he died at about 6:45
p. m,, Pacific standard time.
His physician attributed death
to a stroke.
When first stricken, Padway
told the AFL officials around him
on the platform that he wanted
to continue his speech.
"I only need about five minutes
to finish up," he declared, un
aware of the gravity of his condi
tion.
Padway, who has fought labor's
legal battles since 1915, had been
in ill health for about a year.

Oregon Statesman, Salem, Ore.. Thursday, October 9. 1947
Officials See
Revenue Rise
Of $4 Million
Organized labor in Oregon
planned Wednesday to fight in
come tax increases effected by
the state's rejection of a retail
sales tax at Tuesday's special
election, and, despite defeat of
the tax measure and the cigaret
tax, the state tax commission
predicted a revenue increase of
over $4,000,000 while Gov. Earl
Snell maintained state finances
will not be handicapped seriously
this biennium. .
From Portland, Associated
Press reported these develop
ments: State Rep. Manley J. Wilson,
Wauna, editor of the CIO Inter
national Woodworker, said j he
would ask the attorney general
for an opinion on the legality of
the income tax boosts.
Kelly Loe. asistant secretary
of the State Federation of Labor,
said that the AFL group would
engage State Rep. C. E. Francis,
Dayton, to determine whether a
legal assault is feasible. If not
the labor organization will ini
tiate a referendum vote in the
primary next May to repeal the
income tax increases, Loe said.
Exemptions Reduced
The contingent act provided
lowering of personal income ex
emptions on failure of the sales
tax to win approval in Tuesday's
referendum. The act reduces ex
emptions from $1,500 to $1,000
for married persons and $750 to
$500 for single persons. The
changes will be effective Jan. 1,
1948, on 1947 i income.
In Salem, Earl Fisher, income
tax division chief for the state
tax commission, said these low
ered exemptions would increase
income tax revenue by about
$4,000,000 and that the with
holding tax, effective January 1
also as a result of the sales lax
defeat, would add another $500,
000 from a large number of per
sons who under existing exemp
tions do not file income tax re
turns. The one per cent withholding
tax will be credited or refunded
on returns filed. Refunds of $2
or less are not authorized.
Previous Estimates
It had been estimated that the
sales tax, if approved by the
voters, would raise $24,000,000 a
year and the cigaret tax $2,000,
000 a year.
Defeat of the two measures,
Gov. Earl Snell asserted Wednes
day, will not prove a serious
financial handicap to the state
during the current biennium, end
ing June 30, 1949, but he pre
dicted however that the 1949
legislature might have a difficult
time balancing the budget for the
following biennial period.
Warns of ReceMten
"We will get through the cur
rent biennium,' Governor Snell
declared, "and I do not antici
pate any difficulty during the
early part of the next biennium.
But if a recession sets in and
there is a material drop in in
come, tax receipts, then we will
be in financial trouble. Income
taxes are not stable enough."
The governor, whose term ex
pires in January, 1949, suggest
ed that the next legislature make
income tax receipts which are
now used for reduction of prop
erty taxes, available for general
fund purposes. He said such a
plan would go far to relieve fu
ture financial difficulties.

that unless some form of dollar
aid was forthcoming "this year,"
Britain would be forced to make

countries, particularly in Europe.
Speaking at his first news con
ference since the cabinet shake
up that elevated him to command
of the nation's economic revival

would like to draw quickly the
last $400,000,000 of the $3,750,

2, suspending the free exchange
of pounds into dollars- in trade

Outstanding individual breed
show at the exposition is the Jer

completed today. Visitors and Jer
sey breeders alike, who crowded
the show ropes said this compares
favorably with the best Jersey
shows in the country. A total of
211 animals passed before the ea
gle eyes of Judge G. E. Gordon

The only other exhibit in the 13
acre show building which could
give the Jersey ring competition
in crowds was that of Portland's

proved a fascination for youths
from 3 to 83 years of age.
