WASHINGTON, Sept 19-WVA 10 per cent withholding tax on corporation dividends was approv ed today by a house-senate con " ference committee. It is expected to bring In an ex tra $190,000,000 a year from per sons who fail to pay income on . the dividends they receive. This, with numerous ' minor changes made by the conferees, boosted the size of the "first in stallment' war tax bill from $4, 508,000,000 to approximately 15, 000.000,000. . f The withholding on dividends, sponsored by Rep. Mills (D-Ark.), puts no new tax burden on those who receive them, but is intended to get to the treasury department the information needed to check whether all persons are paying taxes on their dividend Income. This major action completed the , drafting of the "first installment tar bilL except for a few minor technical matters. - " The conferees today also voted to: .- L Tax the arrestment Income of life insurance companies over the last three years. 1948, 1949 and 1950, to yield an extra $140,000,000 for the treasury. . Tighten ea the operations of tax-exempt charitable trusts and foundations, to prevent them from being used for the benefit of their creators, and from rrmUng investments of a risky nature. X. Eliminate a house-apprered provision which increased the per ceniage aepieuon allowance on coal, for tax purposes, from S per cent to 10 per cent The bill brings the nation's tax laws near to a wartime footing. It increases the load on over 50,000,000 individual income tax payers by almost $3,000,000,000 year, beginning October 1; and raises normal corporation levies by a 1,300,000,000 a year, retroacuv ely to July 1. 1950.

' 453 & I2fc St ": ; -Y7ecL Sept SC'Jx ; 5 PM Til 10 PM Two petitioners- receiving the commission's endorsement both wanted to build a second house on a lot in a class I residential zone. They are Fred L. Rose, with a 42 by 157 foot lot on Chemeketa between 15th and 17th streets. and Theodore Hauck, with a 50 by 130 foot lot at 2370 Laurel ave. Under the new city law, each dwelling house in such a zone must be on a lot of at least 6,000 square feet Swart Heads Group Hedda Swart was named to head a committee for examina tion of a North 17th street proper ty where w. - W. Horsman seeks to place a second house. Several residents near 20th and Chemeketa streets appeared before the zoners in protest against a proposed seven-house court at the northwest corner. After hearing them and Eugene Laird, attorney for the petitioner, and after a priv ate huddle by both sides to the controversy, the zoners recom mended to the council that Edgar Byrkit be allowed to build four two-bedroom houses facing the street on the 120 by 113 foot pro perty. Some of the neighbors wanted no more than two houses built, and most of those appearing objected to placing of any houses at the rear of the property. Tells Hease Plans Attorney Laird told the commis sion that Byrkit had bought the property in good faith, investing $4,500, securing building plans in early July and applying for build ing permits as soon as a 339,500 loan commitment was obtained. Laird said the houses planned. most of them with two bedrooms. would be ranch style with shingle finish, equipped with electric wall heaters, range and refrigerator. They would rent at a $65 mini mum, he said. Voicing objections were Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Cameron, P. H. Holmes, W. A. S perry, S. D. Jones and Mrs. C N. Kaiser. In other zoning business, the commission gave its tentative ap proval and set public hearing for October 17 on a proposal to change from residential to , apartment zoning a North 14th ' street pro- perty across the street from Salem high school. A. M. Hansen seeks to convert a house to two-family use. : Stanley Appointed - Zoning Chairman Robert F White appointed l Robert Stanley chairman, Mrs. Gertrude Lobdell and Robert Forkner as a commit tee to study sidewalk lines and recommend policy to the city coun cil. The commission also asked the city council to set five-foot set back lines on Tile road between North Capitol "street and the Southern Pacific railroad. Another zoners endorsement went to an overture from Frank and Anna Calaba that the city ac cept certain property deeds for the purpose of extending Fair mount avenue from Judson street to City View cemetery.

He is Charles Swisher, a sixth- grade student at Bush school, whose notebooks were found near the north Salem underpass on 99-E about 220 pjn. Charles had attended Bush school for the first time yesterday morn ing. He left at noon with registra tion forms to be completed by his mother and did not return. Authorities were still seeking his address early today. His mother's identity was established as Goldie Swisher on the basis of papers found near the underpass. They were found by J. M. Morrell, 1785 Silverton rd. Charles walks with a limp due to the effects of polio and his face is slightly drawn, according to po lice reports. He is 12 years old. four feet-eleven, and weighs 90 pounds. One teacher described him to police as "an unhappy child." School authorities said Charles attended Lincoln school at Four Corners last year. They understood he had just returned here from Hood River. His mother was for merly employed at the Fox hat chery. . Police said they ruled out the oossibility of the boy having been on the railroad tracks after a thor ough check of the area around the underpass. Numerous homes along the track also were checked for a clue.. Postal records, public utilities and newspaper subscription lists were checked without avail for a clue to the lad's address. The search continued early this morning. Bride-to-Be Terrified- By Whistler NEW ORLEANS.

Shortly after the , engagement was announced ,the family receiv ed a mysterious telephone calL "Your daughter will never mar' ry Herbert the phantom voice said. "I'm going to kill her. And if don't get her, I'll get your little boy Mickey (Jacquelyn's 5-year-old brother.)"

Th Statesman America stands on the threshhold of her ereatest neriod of medi cal advance, even to the point of conquering cancer. Dr. Morris Fish- bein, noted Chicago physician, told Tuesday night. Yet despite America's just claim doctors' and the finest research program in the world, there is a Vietminh Units Attack French In Indochina SAIGON, IndoChina, Sept 19- (Jfy- Two more French outposts near the border of Red China were under attack by communist-led Vietminh forces tonight and reliable sources - said there were rebel troop movements all along the frontier.

Lashing out against socialized medicine, Fishbein first enumerat ed the medical advances of i the past 50 years, then pointed to the defects in England's current so cialization program. Fishbein reviewed medical prog ress by pointing out: - Measles and scarlet fever, once killers, have been relegated to re latively harmless roles. "Tuberculosis, once the chief ' cause of death, has dropped to seventh and in 20 years it may be a minor disease. M "Venereal disease has dropped so sharply that medical schools are hard-pressed to find 'examples for students. "Twelve per cent of our popula tion today is over the, age of S3, compared with 2.4 per cent in 1890." . The dynamic speaker then re lated his experiences while study ing socialized medicine in ragianfl durng the past four years. Doctors are so pressed for time while dealing with 1 patients who ' don't even need a physician, that really serious cases often must wait Jn long lines or come back weeks later for treatment endang ering chances of recovery, he said. Fishbein urged - appropriations by congress In this country for further research, but added the money must be granted "without government controL" As an important sidelight in view of present world conditions, Fishbein emphasized the import ance of the national blood bank program as the best method of combatting death from possible at omic attack. "If Portland were bombed, blood banks would be destroyed along with humans -and the survivors would depend on Salem, Corvallis, Albany and valley cities for life giving blood," he pointed out Fishbein is a professor of med ical history at the University of Chicago and was for a quarter of a century editor of the American Medical Association Journal. 4 Diana Lynn Qiarlos Coburn v '.
