WASHINGTON, March
High U. S. officials told Den
mark' foreign minister today
that the Atlantic treaty would
provide ''framework' to solve
the long-pending problem of
American air bases on Green
land. -
American strategists are
known to believe that if Amer
ican bases in Greenland, Ice
land and the Azores - or use
of them can be arranged
under the pact it will perma
nently strengthen defenses of
the entire Atlantic area.
But today's talk between state
department. leaders and. Foreign
Minister Gustav Rasmussen pro
vided the first definite infor
mation ' that American officials
do in fact feel the treaty will
greatly ease the base solution,
Rasmussen seeks to ascertain
the benefits and obligations for
Denmark in joining the pact.
Major Legislative C.nots
Unsolved after 62? Days

By Lester Conr
Staff Writer. The Statesman
Oregon's legislature wound up its 92nd day Saturday with action
till Incomplete on major tax and highway revenue bills but with the
tempo markedly Increased. -II
The scoreboard shows the legislators have approved 23 per cent
of the 839 bills introduced thus far (compared with 901 introductions
at the same time in the last session which lasted a record 84 days)

' raced with the fact that the
nconle annroved the Dunne bill
for old age pensions, later held in
valid by the attorney general, the
legislature has realized it has a
difficult nroblem to respect the
will of people as Indicated In the
vote on the Dunne bill, and still
avoid legislation that would banx
runt the state. The bill which the
social welfare committee has work
ed out (HB 438) certainly does the
former. While it win not nanxrupi
the state it will add considerably
to the burden of . the welfare pro
gram. .'" , ' ; ; ; . ,
- In some ways the bill is more
generous than the Dunne bill. It
accepts $30 a montn as a minimum
to maintain a decent standard of
living, which certainly-i not un
reasonable in-these times, inu
does not mean that every person
en the old age list would get that
amount, but that they would re
ceive enough to bring their month
ly income up to that level. The
bill widens the eligibility for old
age assistance by permitting the
aDDlicant to have insurance with
paid-up value of $1000, cash or

This change was made to insure

In today's talks the U. S. em
phasizer three ' points:
1. The proposed Atlantic treaty
would provide! a "framework"
for dealing with the base prob
lem in the ' future.
2. The treaty will be primar
ily useful to prevent attack. It
would array beforehand power
ful forces to strike back at any
aggressor, i so that the attack
might never occur.
3. Under the treaty the mem
ber nations in North America
and western Europe will be able
to take all the cooperative ac
tions necessary to strengthen the
defenses of the whole area.
During World War II the
United States took defense of
Greenland under an agreement
which still is ins force but which
the Danes,; two I years ago, pro
posed to terminate. The nego
tiations have f been dragging
along ever since.
Another 10 per cent nas oeen de
feated or withdrawn.
The house will fact Monday on
seven bills .comprising the high
way revenue program and truck
fee rate changes. The proposals, in
part, will boost license fees from
$5 to $10 a4 gasoline taxes one
cent a gallon to raise money for
highways. The truck measure will
switch truck fees from the 1947
mileage - tonnage basis to a fixed
fee-tonnage schedule

start work Wednesday on house
approved bills making up the
1949-31 tax program.

senate bills allowing tavern own
ers to appeal to the courts when
the liquor commission refuses to
renew their licenses, and giving
inheritable claims to Tillamook
tldeland oyster beds.
The major senate bill passed and
sent to the house would bar elect
ive state officials from using their
names on state-printed envelopes
or other material except when ne
cessary. Only the names of de
partments would appear unless an
official's name is required by law.

senate and sent to the house would
Dun-frauire county tax orms sto show
how much tax is offset by the
state Income and 'excise tax off

tite debate on a Hood River coun
ty official's salary bill after Sen.

Mayor
Tells Plan
By Joe Hall
NEW YORK, March 12 -JP-Mayor
William ODwyer today dis
closed a spectacular plot. to get
city officials' secrets by telephone
wiretapping.
Two alleged wiretappers were
arrested early today but one dup
ed his captors by going out
window at city : hall while they
thought he was in a rest room.
Hours later the man, Kenneth
Ryan, 45, a retired city detective.
still was free. He reportedly fled
to New Jersey despite a police net
at all exits from Manhattan.
Officials hinted the wire-tapping
might involve prominent po
litical enemies of O Dwyer.
Going te Grand Jary
The office of District Attorney
Frank S. Hogan said evidence
would go to the grand jury Mon
day and among those subpoenaed
was John G. Broady, attorney.
Broody stated, "I most emphat-
tically deny ever having anything
to do directly with wiretapping.
He referred all questions to
Clendenin Ryan,: wealthy former
aide to the late Mayor FioreUo H.
LaGbardia and outspoken foe of
the city administration.
Broady said he had been em
ployed by Clendenin Ryan to get
information about the city govern
ment. . '
At his home at Allamuchy. N.
J., Ryan declared he knew nothing
about the wiretapping.
Police said Edward Jones, whom
Broady told reporters he had air'
ed but not "to do anything 11
legal at any time," was cooperat
ing with police and talking free
ly.
Startllne Revelations"
They said Jones, a former treas
ury department agent, was rnmtng
"startling revelations," naming
prominent names and organiza
tions In public and business af
fairs." Earlier 0Dwyer said that Ken.
neth Ryan admitted he was hired
by an attorney to make the wire
taps on the telephones of the may
or and about 75 other officials.
There were indications the in
vestigation might spread to other
parts of the country.
The mayor said the wire taps
also were to be placed on lines of
officials in Chicago and Detroit

More Security,
Cut in Profits
WASHINGTON. March 12-Jf-The
CIO today called for (1) "sub
stantial" fourth round wage in
creases, (2) a slash in corporation
profits, and (3) an expanded se
curity program for workers.
"If the country fails to take these
corrective steps, a serious depres
sion condition is almost certain to
develop." said the CIO News. The
labor organization's weekly news
paper summarized the thinking of
CIO economists and researchers.
Says Prices Not Falling
The CIO said that prices are not
dropping, so wages must be lifted.
It didn't caU it a fourth round in
crease (there have been three since
the war ended), but it spoke in
general terms, saying:
"Substantial wage increases will
provide a great reservoir of buy
ing power. They will help relieve
the piling up of merchandise and
the drop in Jobs" In the consumer
goods Industries.
Tor Common Good
Corporation profit "must be
trimmed for the common good,'
the CIO said.
"The high rate of profit is
throwing the economy out of kll
ter. It has led to cutting of prod'
uction, and to limitation of ex
panded production capacity," the
paper said.
The three-pronged program ls
obviously called for," the CIO said,
because full employment is threat
ened now for the first time since
the war.
Game Warden

Game Warden R. E. Steele has
nose for fried trout, especially
when trout season is still several
weeks off. so Alice Elizabeth Jef

Steele was checking the Little
Pudding river area east of Salem
Saturday morning. When he came
by one house he got a whiff of
what he was sure was frying fish.
Investigation bore out the sus
picion and Mrs. Jefferson readily
admitted preparing the illegal
breakfast. But she didn't get a
chance to eat it for Steele con
fiscated the cooking trout.
Martin Herbert Baughman, also
of Salem route 7, was committed
to the Marion county jail in lieu
of S50 fine when he was found
guilty of angling for trout in clos
