(States man photo.)' ' i OTP 0333300 WDGOQS The house appropriations com mittee in Washington virtually served notice in its action Friday that the 1937 act covering distri bution of proceeds from O & C lands will have to be revised. The committee refused to appropriate (1,000,000 requested by the bur eau of land management for ac cess roads, saying: The federal government can not be expected to invest in capi tal improvements, even for such valuable natural resources, when the financial proceeds of harvest ing these resources accrue in ex cessive proportion to a small number of counties rather than to the federal treasury." Under the present law the counties where the lands lie now get 50 per cent of gross -proceeds. Twenty-five per cent goes to re imburse the federal treasury for advances previously made "in lieu "of taxes'' and twenty-five per cent goes to the. treasury. Costs of administration are lim ited. This year will see the treas ury fully reimbursed for its tax advances to counties, and under the law this share is to go to the counties, which puts the counties in line to receive 75 per cent of the gross. This subject has been under re view by the Portland office of the bureau and numerous discussions have been had with the counties whose legal representative is Frank Sever of Portland. At the last meeting of the O & C advis ory board proposed amendments to the law were discussed but the board left to the counties and the bureau direct negotiation on the split in income. - The. action of the house com mittee will occasion no surprise.

Soviet Secret Police Hold Missing Field GENEVA, SwitzeRland, April 20 UP) L. P. Beria's Soviet secret police are holding the long miss ing Noel H.

Cour Staff Writer, The Statesman The Oregon senate Friday vot ed 22 to 12 against a measure to allow the legislature to levy a tax on gross business sales in 1953, but approved a house-passed pro gram which calls for no new ma jor taxes during the next two years. The house cleared a major bar rier along adjournment path by passing, 45 to 11, a proposed con stitutional amendment which would let the voters decide wheth er they want the legislature re apportioned by 1955. Tax proposals approved by the senate Friday will go into confer ence between the senate and house tax committees whicn are expect ed to reach a compromise. Briefly, they would: 1. Place personal and corpora tion income tax receipts in the state general fund, but require that personal income tax money be used first to offset state prop erty taxes. 2. Use up about $40,000,000 of surplus income tax and miscellan eous state funds to balance the 1951-53 budget. 3. Require counties to levy prop erty taxes to pay their $10 per school child contribution to the state basic school support fund. This has been paid from state in come tax funds for the past 10 years. 4. Limit any state property levy to $3,000,000 a year. 5. Have the governor appoint committees to explain each ballot measure to the voters In the vot ers' pamphlet. 6. Have the budget director and state tax commission publish for the people a statement of Oregon's financial condition 20 days before each election. Sen. Dean Walker, Independen ce, chairman of the senate com mittee, said the program passed Friday was a "tinkering" one be cause ijt provides no new revenues. "Walter urged passage of the business tax, warning t h a t the 1953 legislature will be facing at least a $60,000,000 budget deficit. He said a business tax would stand a good chance of being approved by the people while a sales tax wouldn't. Opponents attacked the meas ure on grounds that it was merely a sales tax with another name at tached. The reapportionment, measure passed by the house is" expected to receive rough treatment in the senate. It would increase the house from 60 to 69 members and the senate from 30 to 36. It would apportion house seats on the basis of one representative from each of the 36 counties and the remaining 30 by population. The senate would be apportion ed by population alone. Under present law, both houses are ap portioned by population. The senate debated for more than an hour before approving 22 to , 8, and sending to the house a memorial asking congress to re store -Oregon and California fed eral grant lands to the state of Oregon. Approve Insurance Another measure sent to the house by the senate wbould give state policeman and prison guards $5,000 life insurance policies. Sent to the governor by the house by the senate would give drunken driving penalties. The bill provides for a 90-day suspension for the first offense; a full year for the second and three years for following offenses. The house rejected a bill to al low the state to insure its institu tions with private companies if approved by the board of control. The house will meet at 8:30 a. m. today and the senate at 9:30.

The National Production auth ority said it acted to prevent many manufacturers from having to close factories, giving them time to convert ' to defense" pro duction. But even though the ban was lifted, the aluminum quotas of civilian goods makers were sharp ly reduced. Up to now they have been cut 35 per cent below their average use of aluminum during the first half of 1950. Effective May 1 the cut will be 50 per cent for May and June. The ban originally was sched uled for April 1 but was postpon ed until May 1. Now it has been cancelled at least until July 1.

When the dust had settled Hum phrey and Lehman issued a for mal statement in which they said Capehart "has, unfortunately, seen fit to make misleading statements about this incident." They said "there was no pro fanity" and "no blows were struck." Saying they would have prefer red , not "to dignify" . the affair with comment, the two democrats added "it is unfortunate that de bate on issues should elicit such violent emotional reaction: as that displayed by Senator Capehart."

Fenix, finan cial vice president of the local uni versity, i He said the air force would pro-' vide a staff of between 6 and 11 instructors for the officer train ing program which is integrated with the regular academic prog ram.

GE Workers To Get Living Cost Raise WASHINGTON, April 20 (JF) The General Electric company an nounced tonight it intends to give all its 200,000 workers a Day in crease, effective as of" March 15, if the government approves. First, though, it said it must have .an okay from the govern ment's.wage board for most of the 200,000. Also, "such increases will only be made effective with union consent in the case of unionized employees. The pay raise figures to be 9 cents an hour. The CIO electrical workers union, whose members make up less than a third of Gen eral El ec trie's employes, have a contract providing for pay raises when the cost of living goes up. A report today from the bureau of labor statistics showed that living costs have gone up enough to call for 9 cents more an hour. 4 Others Not Covered Other unions the company has contracts with 40 others and non union employes are not covered by the cost of living contract. . Despite the Jan. 25 wage freeze, the company said it expects per mission to grant the raise to the non-CIO workers. It said it has an "established policy of taking care of all its employes on a com parable basis." The bureau of labor statistics disclosed earlier today that its liv ing costs index edged up four tenths of one per cent between mid-February and mid-March. It reached a level 184.5 per cent of the 1935-39 average. . 8.4 Per Cent Raise The March 15 cost of living in dex figure was 8.4 per cent higher than the index just before the Korean fighting started-last June and 9.6 per cent above a year ago. While the bureau recently alert ed its method of computing buying habits, the new system and the one formerly used both figured out at 184.5 for March 15. Cabinet Eyes Controversy Over General WASHINGTON, April 20-(-President Truman reviewed the MacArthur controversy with his cabinet today in a session lasting more than an hour. v Members who participated in the regular Friday session would n't discuss it with reporters. But Attorney General McGrafh, asked if the MacArthur affair was in cluded in the discussion, replied, "well, naturally." "It was just a general discus sion," McGrath said. "We talked about many other things, none of them of earth-shaking import ance." One newsman wanted to know if General MacArthur's visit and speech yesterday to congress would cause any change in ad ministration foreign policy. "You'd better talk to the people who make the policy," McGrath replied. First Mate Walter Brehm of Lyndhurst, N.
