Probably only those familiar
with the labor movement will
catch the importance of the walk
out of American, British and
Dutch members of the executive
board of the World Federation of
Trade Unions-at its meeting in
Paris Wednesday. It means a
cleavage in this organization be
tween east and west along politi
cal lines.. James B. Carey, secre
tary - treasurer of the CIO and
American representative on the j
board put it in this way: j
"The WFTU has ceased to ex
ist as a democratic world trade
union organization. I can state
that the CIO is no longer affiliat
ed with the WFTU and considers
that the WFTU no longer exists."
The AF of L never did affiliate
witk the WFTU and has been urg
Ing the CIO to withdraw. It is an
ticipated that the action of trade
unionists of the three countries
mentioned will be followed by
Kimilar dissociation with the fed
eration by trade unions in other
western nations except those tnai
are communist - dominated.
The immediate rock on which
the WFTU split was the Marshall
plan; the deeper cause was the
failure of its secretariat to heed
the warning of Sir Walter Citrine,
prominent British unionist, who at

House Passes 3 Bills
The senate took no final actions
Thursday, but the house passed
three of its own bills and sent them
to the senate.

so that the writer cannot escape
merely by going across state lines.
Bad checks now constitute only a

The house bills included those
tightening the cattle-branding law,
with an increased branding fee (10

mission, and giving the fish com
mission authority to control the
oyster industry so as to combat the
Japanese oyster drill disease.

Qiiang to Retire,

Officials Assert
NANKING. Jan. 21 -0PV- A
Chinese official source said to
day that President Chiang Kai
Shek had decided to retire and
his departure from Nanking was
expected within 41 hours.
The official source, usually
reliable, said that the man who
has led nationalist China for
more than 20 years would step
down in favor of Vice President
Li-Tsnng Jen.
One source said the resigna
tion of both Chiang and the vice
president were expected. If Li
resigns, under the constitution.
Premier Son Fo would head
the new g oveMtment.
It was known that Chiang
sent a delegation of high offi
cials to eonver with Vice Presi
dent Li, presumably over the
qaesUon of Joint resignation.
Secret Society
Members Quit
High School
Withdrawal from Salem high
school of 12 boys who are mem
bers of Illegal secret societies was
disclosed Thursday by Principal E.
A. Carleton. It was the first re
currence of secret society trouble
here since April and May, 1947,
when 20 students were expelled.
The students were members of
the Julius Caesars, and the Friars,
believed to be the onlr two such
societies remaining out of the sev
eral of years ago. Of the dozen in
volved, practically all withdrew
Thursday, said Carleton. Eleven
were seniors and one a Junior. It
was understood they plan to con
tinue their schooling elsewhere un
til graduation.
The action followed knowledge
to the school administration that
the boys were members and in
formation to them as to a school
board policy of long standing that
known members of secret societies
would be expelled.
Principal Carleton said. "It be
came evident that certain boys
were members of organizations
which are illegal in Oregon. When
this knowledge was brought to
attention, they requested permis
sion to withdraw and it was grant
ed." The action was "not caused by
overt acts," said the principal, "but
the history of such organizations
has Indicated their undesirability
in high schools."
Names of the boys involved were
not released, since their withdraw
al was voluntary. Less than one
half of them were on athletic
squads, and no current teams are
affected.

Highways
In Valley
Slippery
High winds with gusts reach
ing near 50 miles an hour whip
ped a late evening snowfall Thurs
day, caused several flue fires and
ran interference for a storm which
is expected to pile up several in
ches of snow in the Salem area.
The whole northwest area was
catching the snow - laden storm
from the north. While less than an
inch of snow fell in Salem before
midnight Thursday, weathermen
predicted continued fall through
out the night and flurries today.
Salem shivered through a whole
day of sub - freezing temperatures
Thursday and forecasts were for
more of same at least through
Saturday. A minimum of 15 de
grees was recorded Thursday
morning at McNary field and
temperatures stuck below the
freezing level all day except for
an hour - long period from 9:30
to 10:30 p. m. when the mercury
climbed to 35,1.
Below Freezing
Racing winds and dry snow soon
dropped temperatures below freez
ing again and a low of 28 degrees
was forecast for Friday morning.
The mercury was due to stay low
during the day, reaching a top of
near 38 this afternoon. A mini
mum of 24 degrees was expected
Saturday morning.
Slippery streets kept Salem
traffic slow and sparse Thursday
night, but travelers who did brave
the snow clad streets and high
ways were having trouble keeping
vehicles on the road. City police
called for senders for South Com
mercial street to prevent trafflM
tie-ups in that area.
Snow Over Valley
State police reported snow pil
ing -up and drifting on strong
winds east of Aumsville. Dallas
was blanketed by snow. Two inch
es of packed snow , was reported
on highway 99E from Aurora to.
Portland with continued fall in
the area.
Meanwhile, the northwest's cri
tical power shortage was worsen
ed by the return of lower temper
atures. The power load went up
37.000 kilowatts Wednesday night
and was expected to increase if
the cold continues.
Even Brookings Cold
Portland had' its coldest day of
the season Thursday with a 15
degree reading. Even the state's
warmest city Brookings was
below the freezing mark with 30
degrees.
Six weeks of freezing weather
is threatening stored potatoes in
the Deschutes country. Frost lies
26 inches deep in some potato
areas and extent of the damage
will not be discovered until po
tatoes are graded.
Ice Thursday morning and snow
Thursday night made highway
travel hazardous throughout the
state. Plows and sanders were op
erating in the Santiam Junction
area where rdside snow has
reached a depth of 135 inches.
Oregon City Aims
AtXonsolitlatioii
OREGON CTTY, Jan. 20 -(A-The
Chamber o. Commerce wants
a bigger city: 15,000 instead of
the rrcser.t 8,( 00 population.
That would le achieved by con
solidating Oregon City with the
nearby towns of West Linn and
Gladstone- Such a merger will be
the chamber's major drive this
year.
That gives a bonus of $600 for
domestic service and $900 for over-
seas service. Provision is made for
$600 bonus for the "vui-remar-
ried" wife or husband of a veteran
killed in service, or who died as
the result of servica incurred
wounds or disease.
After some other provisions set
ting up the operating mechanics
of the act, it is set out succinctly,
that for the purposes of carrying
out the provisions of the act, "there
is hereby appropriated from any
funds not otherwise provided for
by the state legislature the sum
of $55,000,000."
It is just as simple as that. Of
course, somebody who might not
believe in the economic theory of
cash bonuses, or some legislator
who might be looking for a loop
hole in the financial fabric of the
state, might shrug the problem to
one side and advise to "go ahead
and pass it as it lies" on the theory
that if there should be "any funds
not otherwise provided for by the
legislature" by the time the ways

Mouse Tax Committee Revives
Sales Tax TaDk at Public Forum
New Plan Adds Fifth
Story to
A considerably revised set of floor plans of the proposed new Mar
Ion county courthouse, including a fifth floor, was received Thursday
by the county cohort from Pietro Belluschi, Portland architect. And it
was reminded that the tentative design would be extremely inappro
priate unless the current legislature amends laws which now affect
only Multnomah county but after the 1950 census would Include Mar
ion county.
Under the current laws for coun- with deri recorded and assessor,
ties over 100,000 population, the I The second floor would have
county court would cease to be, I f our circuit court rooms and the
there would be a county commis
sion, a circuit judge would be add
ed. There is also the possibility
that the tax department now under
the sheriff might be combined
with the assessor's office.
One of the outstanding altera
tions from former plans is the ad
dition of another story, making a
total of five floors and a basement.
To Consider Plans
The courthouse commission is to
consider the plans in the near fu
ture, along with a graphic portray
al of a proposed exterior design
submitted Wednesday by Bellus
chi. The drawing, depicting a long,
low main story, a smaller second
story and the three top floors
slightly smaller, does not indicate
windows, but that does not mean
the building will make such a rad
ical departure from other struc
tures, said the court.
The architect wrote that "the
plan is much more compact than
any previously submittea.
Sheriff in Basement
The basemont would include of
fices for sheriff, school superin
and ;
tendent, treasurer, engineer
veterans' service officer, as well as

would be xn the main floor, along
had just as well be transmuted
into veterans' bonuses as to be
carried over into the much discus
sed "surplus."
An entire unanimity of opinion
does not , seem to be hovering
around over this bonus question
however. Some veterans of world
war 1 still have an abiding me
mory of the cash bonus voted by
the legislature away back then,
and much of which was invested
in flivers instead of flats. It is out
of this group of economists that
the alternate suggestion comes for
a veterans relief bill through the
medium of a $1,000 exemption
in their income taxes. So far this
does not appear to have aroused
many audible cheers, the sugges
tion being met by the counter ar
gument that the worM war II bon
us hungry vets at present haven't
enough income tax worries to be
interested in a $1,000 exemption.
What they are looking for right
now is cash on the barrel head.
Then, too, there is the alternate
provision for a bonus bill to be
financed by the sale of some $55,
000,000 of bonus bonds. That plan.

The house tax committee, in
a public forum Thursday nieht.
indicated It will not dip into Ore

sion, but hinted that a sales tax
proposal may fee 4n the oiling.
Five members of ; the II -man
committee, where all revenue

detailed report of Oregon's finan

tions to the $38,000,000 budget
deficit were few, and conversa
tion inevitably centered about a
sales tax.
Rep. Ralph T. Moore, Coos Bay.
chairman of the house tax com
mittee, acted as moderator and
gave the closing summary. Pre
siding was Frank VanDyke, Med-
ford, speaker of the house.
Speakers were Reps. Lyle Thom
as, Dallas; Giles French Moro;
David Baum, La Grande; J. F.
Short, Redmond, and Ben Day.

Four of the speakers agreed al
most unanimously that the pub

surplus. They agreed that every
penny of lucrative money will be
needed to offset rising state prop
erty levies for schools and gov
ernmental' expenses during the
next biennium.
"Nuisance Measures'
French, alluding to defeat of
the sales tax in past elections,
said Oregon voters have "refused
to use all resources at hand" to
finance state expenses. He said
tax measures introduced this ses
sion are "nuisance" measures
that would raise little revenue
and make people mad.
Baum told the audience the
$172,000,000 now on hand was
not a surplus because it is all
earmarked for special purposes.
He predicted the state would have
a $25,000,000 general fund deficit
by June 30, 1951, if all requested
appropriations are approved by
the legislature.
Day said demands on the state
will increase by the year because
counties and cities are gradually
shifting more functions over to
the state.

Short branded recommendations
by Gov. Douglas McKay and for
mer Gov. John Hall to divert the
income tax surplus to the general
fund as "extreme." "We must
have a sales tax or a strict econ
omy," he observed.
Thomas, author of bills to shift
the surplus to the general fund,
confined his remarks to explana
tion of the 1949-51 budget.
In closing, Moore warned that
drastically increased state prop
erty taxes are inevitable unless
new sources of revenue are forth
coming. He suggested a sales tax
as an equitable levy that reaches
every one rich and poor alike.
