Bills to Put Income Tax
On General Fund, Repeal
Property Levy Advance
By Lester F. Cour I I:
Staff Writer. The Statesman j; :
The house tax committee Monday recommended passage of
measures which would place income tax receipts in tie general fund
and repeal the state property tax. I
Also recommended for passage was a bill requiring that the text
of any initiative ballot measure include a statement of 5 how much
money would be needed to finance the proposed legislatftm.
- The tax group took its first major action of the 1851 session after
the tax commission testified that Oregon would still have a $18,500,-

The Truman administration is
falling apart at the seams. The
core remains loyal, but the ad
ministration has lost support in
and out of congress. Much has
been made of the debacle in China
and political capital has been piled
up by the opposition in antagon
ism to Secretary of State Dean
Acheson on that account But the
administration home front is what
is cracking now.
People are unhappy over the
price - wage situation. Controls
were long delayed and the fires
cf inflation burned brightly. Even
now when controls are supposed
to be in effect prices continue to
rise and wage-earners are to get
an additional 10 per cent. The
steady erosion of value of cur
rency threatens the whole econ
omy. '
Most unhappy are leaders of
big labor unions who feel they
have been shoved aside in the
mobilization planning. Strikes in
textile mills reflect an indiffer
ence to government orders on a
wage freeze.
Latest exposure is scandal or
near-scandal in the running of
RFC, the huge national lending
agency. Warned by senators of
bad conditions there the president
was hostile, called the report of
an investigation asinine, and de
fied the senate foolishly by re
appointing all five members of
the RFC board. Now the presi
dent is shifting his position and
has sent in an order for reorgan
izing RFC, putting it under i
single administrator. This is ad
mission that he will have to give
ground on the issue.
Congress is more insistent on
economy than the president seems
to be, less willing to add taxes.
It is critical of spending policies
even -of-the military which has
had a lot of money even if it
didn't get all it asked for. The
administration forces in congress
are by no means cohesive; the
power has passed definitely to
coalitions of republicans and dem
ocrats. On matters dealing with
international issues usually enough
republicans will jom the fairly

Farmers Union
Conclave Opens
At Woodburn
By Lillle L. Madsen
Farm Editor. The Statesman
WOODBURN, Feb. 20 The
Oregon State j Farmers Union has
increased its membership more
than 60 per cent in the past year,
Lyle Thomas,! state secretary, re
vealed in his annual report given
at the opening session of the three
day- convention here today. All
meetings and banquets are being
held at Legion Hail.
The membership count has not
been completed, Thomas continu
ed, but already the' figures were
well over 60 iper ; cent above last
year. Twenty4-five locals exceed
ed last year's figures, some of
them more than double, he added
Exact membership will be given
before the convention is over, he
promised.
And this increase in member
ship was "more solid faraner mem
bership," the secretary said. The
loss of membership in the past few
years was due; to the separation of
the Farmers Union stores from the
sta e organization The heaviest
loss m membership was in the Sa
lem trade area. The present mem
bership is built, not on economic
ties, but on an understanding of
the Farmers Union program, he
concluded. i
Backs Social Security
Ronald Jones, president of the
Oregon State j Farmers Union, in
his annual report, made a plea
for the family-sized farm and the
small business. He insisted that
farmers should be included fully
under social security.
On national issues, Jones re
ferred to the commodity battle
represented by "marketing agree
ments and acreage control" as
"dangerous to ' our entire farm
population." He favored paying
only for production, adding that
"aid should never be given in the
interest of restriction."
Turning to the state problems,
Jones urged his listeners to watch
that we do not lose control of
rural schools.' This plea, he said
was not so much in the interest
of economy as in the betterment
of rural life. Rural schools should
be as well equipped and have as
good teachers as urban schools,
he said. He didn't think it neces
sary to maintain a "huge budget
surplus" in the banks so "that we
could call our budget balanced
Clearing up the "loopholes in-our
present taxes," would, he believed,
handle the situation without addi
tional taxes. He hoped, too, for
some sort of reapportionment pro
gram out of the present legisla
ture, j:
Coops Not Dead Issue
All cooperatives in the Farmers
Union are not a dead issue, Jones
saia. i
"We do," he said, "have a co
operative committee at this con
vention to see what can be done
in the line of Farm Union co
operatives." 1
Woodburn welcomed the 150
F Triers Union members includ
ing the 58 official delegates who
registered today. Invocation was
said by the Rev. E. K. Fenton of
the Presbyterian church. "Mayor
Elmer Mattson welcomed the
group and greetings were brought
by Charles Cornwell of the Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce, and
Lyman Seelyf from the Rotary.

Lab Chief Says Police Whitewashed
Charges; Sheriffs Air Complaints
By John H. White
Staff Writer, The Statesman
Years of friction between' two
departments of the Oregon state
police exploded Tuesday after
noon when Capt. H. L. Richard
son, head of the state crime lab
oratory in Portland, resigned at
a legislative hearing.
Richardson, an assistant pro
fessor of pathology, referred to
charges against his crime lab
assistant, Jack Bearss, which he
had brought to the attention of
state police.
. Bearss was cleared by a state
police board of charges of mutil
ation of photographs and other
evidence in criminal cases.
Richardson claimed the inves
tigating board was prejudiced
on Bearss' behalf and "white
washed" the case with the back
ing of H. G. Maison, superinten
dent of state police.
Maison who was present at the
hearing, did not comment on
these, charges. He did accept
Richardson's resignation.
Charges Meddling
The doctor charged Bearss
with attempting to be a "super
sleuth" Iby meddling in medical
procedures of -which he had no
knowledge. t
"I know as much as any doc
tor and I can do what I please.
No doctor can tell me anything,"
Richardson quoted Bearss as
saying.
Bearss, a former state patrol
man, was appointed to the lab
oratory in 1947 to work in bal
listics. Richardson said he later
asked Maison to name Bearss as
his assistant to "give him a raise
In pay."
The doctor charged Maison
with a "lack of administrative
understanding of the need for
trained personnel,' although, un
der questioning by Rep. Sprague
Carter, Pendleton, he admitted
he thought Maison "qualified to
handle affairs of the state po
lice." Manufactured Results
Richardson, who has been head
of the crime lab since 1946, said,
"The crime laboratory is now
in the hands of men who can
manufacture results to suit their
case. I'm through fighting for
the principles of educational
qualifications.'
He said he did not think it
possible to operate a crime labor
atory successfully under present
law.
The blowup came during a
heated hearing before the house
state and federal affairs com
mittee on legislative bills to take
control of the state identification
bureau in Salem and the crime
lab in Portland away from the
state police.
Division over Issue
Sheriffs and the state police
split wide open on the issue.
Sherriff O. T. Carter, Douglas
county, i claimed that evidence
sent to the crime lab two years
ago after the slaying of El wood
Gallager at Canyonville was still
"unreported" by the state police.
Sheriff Howard Gault of Jack
son county said three years ago
he sent in for analysis of some
evidence and was informed by

Inquiries 'Hindered'
Sheriff Lloyd Lewis of Jose
phine county charged that state
policemen j were being notified
about all material sent to the lab
by his office but that the re
verse was not true, thus hinder
ing investigation.
Sheriff Terry Shrunk of Mult
nomah county said ; the identi
fication bureau and crime labor
atory should be available on an
equal basis to all law enforce
ment agencies. "Either that or
counties will have to set up their
own labs, costing the taxpayers
money," he said.
Rep. J. I O. Johnson. Tigard,
asked Shrunk if this couldn't be
accomplished without changing
the present set-up. ;
"It could be done tomorrow,
then forgotten after the legis
lature adjourned," Shrunk ans
wered, j
Maison, state police superin
tendent, referred to charges that
the bureau of identification was
not available to all by saying.
Used by Sheriff's Men
"Gentlemen, the bureau is
yours. Scarcely a day passes that
one of Sheriff Denver Young's
men does not use this service."
"If you itake the ID bureau
from the state police, you will
Impair -our service and cripple
that of every other agency."
Rep. Paul Geddes, Roseburg,
asked Maison if there were any
reason why the crime laboratory
should be under-state police con
trol. !
"I don't think so and I'm not
particularly interested. It must
be operated at the medical
school, but who supervises it is
a matter of opinion," Maison
said.
Asked by Geddes if it would
make any difference , of the
record bureau were left with the
state police. Sheriff Denver
Young, Marion county, said "Yes.
Some of our cases are investi
gated by the state police who
use our evidence because it gets
back to them before it gets to
us."
"Could It be that the state
police open their mail sooner?"
Maison countered.
The Oregon Sheriffs associa
tion has gone on record as favor
ing creation of a new crime lab
oratory, governed by represen
tatives of all enforcements agen
