Of Romance
WASHINGTON, Dec 20 -iJPf
Margaret Truman squelched talk
ol romance today and said .she
wears a ring on her engagement
finger because the needs to keep
her right hand free for shaking
hands.
The point came up at a White
House news conference where the
; daughter of President and Mrs.
I Truman discussed her profession
i a 1 singing career.
One reporter said that Mr. Tru
man had been quoted as saying he
would rather have grandchildren
man an opera star in the family.
Margaret laughed and said she
and her father had both been so
. busy she hadn't had time to take
It up with him.
She said she intends to contin
ut her singing career and she
hasn't given up the Idea of opera.
And as for movie contract
and rumored big money offers
for a New York night club ap
pearance, Margaret replied, Tve
never seen the offers, just read
about them."
"What about a romance?" ask
ed a reporter, mindful of the fact
that women have successfully
combined professional careers
and homes.
None definitely," replied
Margaret.
"That ring" a reporter be
gan calling attention to a ring
on the third finger of Margaret's
left band.
Quickly, Margaret shifted it to
her right hand. "That Is the ring
mother and dad gave me when
I graduated from George Wash
ington," she said, explaining that
she usually wore it on ner len
hand because she was so con
stantly shaking hands
Most babies and young children
are xaragmea.

Truman Version of
Marshall Aid Wins
Europe Plaudits
LONDON, Dec 20 -(tfV West
ern Europe's newspapers other
than the communist press gen
erally expressed approval today
of President Truman's presenta
tion of the Marshall plan to con
gress. i Papers favoring the plan agreed
that the president's request for
$17,000,000,000 to finance a pro
gram of economic aid for 16 na
tions would give war-battered
western Europe a chance to re
cover. In London the Financial
Times also pointed out that "plain
ly a plan of this scope will require
a substantial sacrifice by the
American people.
A British foreign office spokes
man, voluteerinf a "word of wel
come. termed the program "a tre
mendous event in the history of
postwar Europe" and said it is
difficult to speak of It with too
much enthusiasm."

Century Span of
'Smith Kids9 to
Appear at Party
LEBANON. aDeo. 20-rSMdan
The "Smith kids- win be honored
by the Lebanon and Albany Ki
wanls clnbs Monday at a "Smith
Kids Christmas Party" at the Le
banon high school.
The "kids" to be honored are
Jim Smith, Waterloo, 105 yeaas
old, and Jimmy Smith, Albany,
six-months. The elderly Smith, a
Civil War veteran, will bring alone
his "young" brother, Ben, who
is 93.
The 105-year-old Smith crossed
the plains to Oregon in the Gil
liam wagon train in 1844 when he
was one. Jimmy, the son of Mr.
and Mrs. James R. Smith, 917 E.
8th it, Albany, was born In Al
bany General hospital October 26,
1947.
Albany, and Lebanon merchants
have contributed a large array of
gifts including three radio-phonographs
which will be presented to
the Smiths at the party. The public
has been invited to attend.
For the first time in history
Oregon will be faced with a gen
eral fund deficit of approximate
ly $0,000,000, along with an "un
touchable' income tax surplus of
$53,000,000 by June 30, 1949, be
cause of the constitutional 6 per
cent property tax limit unless
voters approve transfer of that
amount from surplus income reve
nues at the genesal election In
November, 1948.
This warning was issued Satur
day by State Treasurer Leslie M.
Scott He explained that deficit
is being created by the tax limi
tation, passed by the voters as
a constitutional amendment in
1918, which provides that prop
erty taxes In any one year may
not exceed 8 per cent more than
the highest of any of the prev
ious three years.
Income tax surpluses. Scott
said, would total about $53,000,
000 on June 30, 1949, but cannot
be diverted into the general fund
except by the voters' approval. 1
Transfer or the $8,000,000, or
more if necessary, from the in
come tax surplus to cover the
deficit, will be referred to the
voters in November. 1948. by
authorization of the 1947 legislature.
The state treasurer estimated
the state income tax would re
turn $4,000,000 additional reve
nue in this fiscal year, ending
June 30, 1948, as the result of
Thursday's decision of the state
supreme court affirming lower
income tax exemptions and im
posing a 1 per cent state with
holding tax.

Scott said, $2,500,000 will come
from lowered exemptions. $750.
