In a letter to Senator Tydings (D-Md), chairman of the senate foreign relations i subcommittee Investigating charges the state department is riddled with com munists or communist sympath izers, the chief executive said: "No president has ever com- flied with an order of the legis ative branch directing the ex cutive branch to product con fidential documents, the dis closure of which was considered by the president to be contrary to the public interest." .

Engine Trouble Forces Bixbys To Delay Flight CALCUTTA, India, April 3 -(JP) The dream of Dianna and Bob Blxby of breaking the world cir cling aviation record ended today when a faulty engine forced them to return to Calcutta after taking off for Tokyo.

Budget Director Harry Dorman in dicated in a report filed with Governor Douglas McKay Mon day. Anticipated revenues coupled with estimated general fund re quirements for the two-year per iod would fail by $32,737,749 of meeting state needs, Dorman said. However, if the proposed soldier bonus and basic school tax in crease of $30 per school child are approved by the voters at the No vember election, the state will be short $50,759,976 of meeting its allocations, Dorman indicated. The property reduction fund, created to avoid any state tax on property, would be down to $8,238,854.17, he said. Suggestions Made Dorman suggested three means of meeting the expected "serious financial situation. These includ ed an advalorem tax on property, new sources of revenue or drastic cuts in state activities. Income tax division officials of the state tax commission assisted Dorman in computing estimates of income revenue on both excise and personal income taxes, for the two year period ending July 1, 1953. , I Dorman figured there would be a balance of $1,750,023.25 in the excise tax account on July 1, 1951, with an estimated $18,000,000 in collections in excise taxes for that year. . ' Without Funds It was stressed, however, that after all estimated obligations have been fullfilled this account would be without any funds when the 1952-53 fiscal year begins, and only $18,000,000 in collections will be available for general fund ap propriations. ! Dorman estimated there will be a balance in the property reduct ion fund on July 1, 1951, of $21, 428,853.99, plus $15,999,999 cushion and personal income tax collect ions aggregating $32,000,000 dur ing the fiscal year of $68,428, 853.99. After meeting levies that would otherwise be assessed! to property in the state, the balance on July 1, 1952, in this fund would be re duced to $16,977,733.02. with an additional $15,000,000 cushion and estimated tax collections of $32,- 000,000, or an estimated total of $63,977,773.02.

April S-(JF)-A naval officer returned today from a submarine hunt off the California coast and said he believed he had made Instrument contact with one or more unidentified un derseas boats about 17 miles offshore. Officially, the western sea frontier, which ordered the hunt, said: "Results and comment, negative." It added the search had been discontinued "pending further de velopments." ' . But Capt. J. A. Holbrook, a for mer submarine officer who com manded the destroyer U. S. SCol ahan on the search, said: "It is my opinion, as a submar ine officer, that we probably had contact with one or more submar ines in the area." Rear Admiral F. I. Entwistle, after studying Captain Holbrook's report, said the contacts made by the Colahan "very probably" were one or more foreign submarines on "routine peacetime patrols." The search by surface centered off Cape Mendocino, about 230 miles north of San Francisco. Capt. Holbrook and a hastily summoned crew, including many reserves, put to sea Thursday, March SO, following a report by a navy patrol plane pilot that he had seen a submarine 40 miles off Cape Mendocino. The navy said no U. S. submarines were In the area. At 11 p. m. that night. Captain Holbrook said, the Colahan's ra dar screen picked up "indications which we tracked until 12:20 a. m." The next contact, this time by sonar, was made shortly after noon Friday. Contact. was main tained for about an hour and then was picked up by navy aircraft which tracked the object for about two hours.

Winter damage of the past twe years and persistent overloading by trucking operators were blam ed by the engineer for the poor condition of much of the state' highways. s Baldock said he would recom mend that half of the current an nual $15,000,000 new construction fund be allocated to repairs. H added that new roads built with the remaining half of the fund should be made stronger than a4 present. i Less Than Half He explained it would mean less than half of present mileage pro grams would be built, but the surfaces would better support the heavier traffic loads of xecen years. Baldock s proposals were mad at the request of Chairman B. R. Chandler, Coos Bay, following a request of central Oregon groups for repair of the Warm Spring highway. Fines Net Enough The engineer said truckers' dis regard for weight regulations had resulted in a "chaotic" situation. "Owners of large trucks repeatedly avoid the law on weight limits, he Said. "The fines are not enough to deter them. We , have) community remonstrances in some cases when we enforce load limits too, with charges t h a t we are throwing people out of work. i Baldock compared the present situation to that experienced by the state in the early 1930s. The roads that had been oiled after 1923 practically broke apart by 1930. This necessitated deferring new construction until the exist ing system could be strengthened over a period of years. Delegations from Seaside and Silverton asked aid in the con struction of bridges in their areas. . The commission referred the prob lem to the engineering department for studies.
