Issue Set for
House Today
The house refused 33 to 27
Thursday to kill the proposal to
add an estimated 915,000,000 a
rear to the basic school support
fund.
The vote was on a motion to
substitute an adverse minority
committee report for the majority
report recommending passage of
the measure.
Formal house action on the
bill itself is scheduled for today.
In the meantime, proponents of
the bill are known to be under
. heavy pressure to maintain their
stand for the final vote and oppo
nents are laboring long and hard
to muster three more negative
votes which, would defeat the
measure.
Ren. Giles French of Moro,
member of the house education
srommittee which favored the bill
to 5, led the attempt to kill
the measure, assisted mainly by
Rep. Edward Geary of Klamath
falls and J. F. snort or Keomona
roeerty Tax Forecast
Proponents of the measure were
Jed by Rep. Lyle Thomas of Dal
s, augmented by Reps. Howard
JIargan of Portland and A. j.
wett of Tillamook.
Probability ' that the measure. If
ratified by the people, would lead
to ja state property tax was ad
mitted by supporters of the bUi.
Opponents said such a property
tax was inevitable.
The measure calls for total stat
support of 193 per census child.
Present figure is $50. Swett de
clared the California figure was
$10 and Washington s $123.
In fighting the measure, French
'declared there was no evidence
that schools had been improved
br, the $45 ($17,000,000 a year)
voijed two years ago. He said the
ette had too many school dist
ricts: that the school system was
inefficient; that the state's un
employment list of 90,000 was
evidence the increase was not
economically feasible, and that the
. bill comprised "an equalization
tax measure and. not an equalixa-
tioa education measure."
fttate Deficit Cited
Geary urged spread of the
eounty unit school system (now
effective in five counties), and
cited that among Oregon's 1350
school districts were "man one
teacher schools and high schools
with 10 pupils or less" as exam-
Jles of continuing unequalized
ducation.
Short, who also is a member of
the. tax committee, said that un
Mar the present expectations the
state will be required to use up
t; entire $50,000,000 income tax
Surplus in the next two years,
avn . without the added school
fund.
Rep. Lyle Thomas, leading pro
ponent of the measure, declared
the; proposal "actually is an equal!'
won biH," " and while be de-
eared "in all probability a por
m of it will be a property tax
.... its avowed purpose la to
raise; money where money la, and
distribute it where it la needed..
Cent Increased
Thomas also said originally the
basic school support fund of 1947
was designed 'to cover SO per cent
f secondary and elementary
school costs, but that because of
increased costs and population, and
- 'lag" in assessed, valuations, the
Original fund covered only 33 per
tent of the costs.
The Dallas representative added
that "the money will be supplied
anyway, either at the local or
Kte level, regardless whether this
I passes, but its passage would
aid equalization.-.
Rep. Henry Semon of Klamath
Falls, chairman of the ways and
means committee, did not speak

Defense Setup
Creation of a new state depart
ment of civilian defense with an
appropriation of $100,000 is pro
posed in a bill introduced in the
house Thursday by the committee
on military affairs.
The department would be un
der a $3600 - a - year director
and a council of five citizens (not
more than three belonging to one
party), with the director and
council to be appointed by the
governor and to serve under his
jurisdiction.
The measure also provides for
"metropolitan area directors' and
"mobile reserve battalions" with
commanders. Members of the bat
talions, if not state employes,
would receive S3 a day while on
duty.
A companion bill, also intro
duced by the military affairs com
mittee, calls for creation of. a na
tional guard reserve.
The civilian defense measure
would compel anyone connected
with it to swear to defend te

Solon Criticizes
Newspaper Tieup
In Letter to AFL
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger, Port
land democrat, said Thursday that
"the impact of the Portland news
paper strike, through its muffling
of legislative news, will have an
adverse effect on our state for
years to come."
In a letter to James T. Marr,
stflte federation of labor secre
try, Neuberger said that the only
way many people can become In
formed on legislative matters is
through the Portland newspapers.
"The bulk of the legislators are
extremely reactionary," he wrote.
"Yet public opinion is a brake
on this reaction."
He wrote that one effect of the
strike also might be the promo
tion of laws against labor.
Change Proposed
In Selection; of
Party Leaders
- A move to Jiave party national
committeemen and corneal tteewom-
en elected by state committees
in stead of by the state-at-large
was begun in the house Thursday.
A new bill, by Reps. Francis
Ziegler and Giles French, also
would augment the state commit
tees now consisting of county
chairmen and vice chairmen
by adding state committeemen to
them.
