ll!; VJ rt n- ;XVVVK"3rivf D - The Statesman. Salem. Oregon, Wednesday, May 31, 1850 Oregon Debt Below National Average in '49 . NEW YORK, May 30 Oregon state's gross debt in 1949 was not only considerably lower than the national average but the debt, was lower than in 1941, in contrast to, the national pattern, according to a study released by. Tax Founda tion, a non-profit research organi sation." ..i. Oregon's combined -long-- and short-term debt of $35,072,000 in 1941 dropped to $18,283,000 in post-war 1946 but has risen steadi ly since to $32,065,000 last year. The net decrease is 9 per cent over the eight years. The national aver age in 1949 was $85,000,000 and in 1941, 72,000,000. The long-term debt (more than one year) was also well below the average of $69,000,000. Last year Oregon's was $9,668,000. down 44 per cent from 1941, but up 93 per cent from 1946. Recent increases in this field have come principally for welfare,, and school programs. The increase has been high in many states- because of veterans' bonuses.. . , '- The comparison is strong also In per capita gross debt. Oregon's was $30.74 in 1941, down to $12.58 in 1946 and up to $18.47 in 1949, the latter comparing with a na tional average of $27.50. Increased population was a factor in keeping this figure low. The gross debt-of the 48 states Jias reached a record total of t4,100,000,000. The foundation's tudy declared that this upward trend, in conjunction with federal '.debt of more than 250,000,000,000 nd local debt of $17,000,000,000, "augurs fiscal trouble, .'especially ince all these debts are mounting in prosperous times when inflated .revenues should enable old debt to be paid off." i The study pointed out that state debts dropped considerably during the war because of impossibility oi construction projects, and rose Again with post-war financing for that purpose. But the primary aource of debt since 1946, tt said, ias been veterans' ' bonus bonds issued by ten states for $1,400 C00.00O, J In 1948 major debts outstanding -ever the country were highways, $ billion: veterans' bonuses, $1 billion, schools, $158 million; hos pitals and institutions, $114 mil lion; and public welfare, $67 million.

Nationalists Admit Quitting More Islands By Spencer Moosa v TAIPEI, Formosa, May 30 P) The Chinese nationalists admitted here that they had abandoned the Lapsapmei Islands near Hong Kong. ' (This was a backhanded method of acknowleding withdrawal from the Wanshan or Ladrone Islands, where they had proclaimed a great victory over communist invasion forces only twer days earlier. Lap sapmei is ; the ' key island in the cluster of a dozen or so dots of land in the 'Pearl Rivers estuary which generally are lumped to gether as the Wanshans but some times are classified as different groups. (A British naval spokesman in Hong Kong disclosed Saturday that the nationalists had pulled out and had landed their 1,000 man garrison on Little Lingting Island, 10 miles south of Hong Kong, as a temporary, haven be fore leaving for Formosa.") Islands Isolated Nationalists naval headquarters said the Lapsapmei Islands were isolated as a result of Red landings on the Wanshans May 25. It said only small nationalist guerrilla units had been stationed in the Wanshans. Naval sources explained that this meant there were no regulars there, and the islands therefore could not be abandoned in the sense that Hainan and the Chu shan Islands were previously. Harassing Eeds The naval communique said, "Our ships still maintain free movement in the estuary of the Pearl River," which leads to com munist Canton. It added that "Commodore Liu is now directing his ships in harrassing the Com munists." A . government spokesman also said one small Red gunboat and five landing craft had been added to the list of communist vessels listed as sunk in the fighting Thursday and Friday. The original claim was that 19 Red gunboats, one landing craft and 54 motor driven junks1 had been sunk, costing the communists 4,000 casu alties. lA total of 249 Red prisoners was listed.
