rejected such tax was ranked
as the third most important news
story.
Three stories came next, separ
ated by a half -point in the vot

ranked Oregon's seventh best news
story of the year. ,
The appearance -of floating Ja
panese mines in shipping lanes off
the Oregon coast placed eighth in
the balloting. Like the flying sau-cers.-thls
story left a mystery still
unsolved: the fate of the fishing

"WASHINGTON, Bee 27 -ff)
Chairman Seth W. Richardson of
the government's loyalty review
board today announced a rule of
strict secrecy in disposing of the
cases ' of government employes
suspected of disloyal acts.
And he emphasized that acts
not opinions are the chief con
cern of his agency, the "supreme
court in the check that it being
made 'on federal worker' loyalty.
Everyone concerned with the
check, he asserted; has been in
structed "to pay no attention to
American differences of opinion."
Releasing the first comprehen
sive statement on board aims and
procedures.4 Richardson said:
"The board feels strongly that
advocacy of whatever change in
the form of government or the
economic system of the United
States, or both, however far
reaching such change may be, is
not disloyalty, unless ' that advo
cacy is coupled with the advocacy
or approval, either singly or in
concert with others, of the use
of unconstitutional means to ef
fect, such change.
"We strongly believe that per
sons holding beliefs "calling for a
change in our form of government
through the use of force or other
unconstitutional means, who in
dicate these beliefs by associa
tion or conduct, and persons who
demonstrate that their allegiance
is primarily to some foreign pow
er or influence, and that they de
sire to remain in, or enter upon,
uie service or our nauon. -

Invited9 to Stay
BUDAPEST. Dec 27-tfP)-The
Hungarian foreign minis try de
nounced as "a gross lie" last night
what it said was an assertion by
the Associated Press that Soviet
troops were still in Hungary at the
invitation of the Hungarian gov
ernment
An Associated Press dispatch,
summarizing an eyewitness sur
vey of Russian garrisons in west
ern Hungary, had reported their
troop strength at 25,000 and quot
ed Hungarians in provincial towns
occupied by the Soviet army as
saying they had been told by Rus
sians the troops were remaining
an additional three months by re
auesf of the government.
The government as the dispatch
pointed out, never has officially
explained the continued presence
of strong. Russian tactical forces
beyond the peaceKtreaty deadline
of December IS, when these forces
were to have been reduced to lines
of communications units.
