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.

Allies Regain
Hill in Bitter
Seesaw Fight
TOKYO, Saturday, April 21-(yp)
Allied troops early today drove
back up a 1,500-foot height in
seesaw fighting fighting for Chor
won, 18 miles Inside red Korea.
Field dispatches said the reds
appeared to be slowly yielding in
a last-ditch stand for that rail
highway hub and supply base in
the west-central sector. Allied
forces have won nearly all the
dominating : fringe of mountains
south of Chorwon.
Late Friday night, the reds split
an allied company and drove it
off a 1,500 -foot hill six miles
south of Chorwon. This was orie
of a series -of red counterattacks.
The allies had beaten off the oth
ers in Close quarters action which
involved fists and rifle butts.
Early today, after artillery blast
ed the enemy, he reformed com
pany regained the height in the
face of heavy machinegun fire. I
The reds) hurled more than 500
men in one of Friday's counter
blows. Seventy -five were killed
and more than, 150 wounded be
fore the foe feU back.
Other field dispatches said Un
ited Nations forces advanced un
opposed today in central Korea and
shelled red troop concentrations
in the east-central sector.
Snow flurries fell on troops
moving across ridge tops in the
center. j 5
The heaviest United Nations ar
tillery bombardment raked an area
about four: miles north of the allied-won
Hwachon reservoir. A
tank-infantry force seized a hill a

lected 11 hits off an old league
nemesis Lou McCollum. Salem's
Aldon Wilkie, although he tired
and was relieved in the ninth in
ning, ' pitched five-hit ball and
emerged with the victory. A four
run Tri-City rally was finally
stopped by a fine piece of relief
hurling by Ludwig Lew, one of
the few members of the 1950 Sen
ators team held over on the cur
rent squad.
Norm Grabar, general handy
man with the Solons provided the
large crowd with a top thrill in
the third inning when he smashed
a long home run over the right
field fence. Grabar and George
McDonald, two of the batting stars
for the Senators collected a big
portion of the numerous opening
night prizes for the home team.
Salem got to McCollum for sin
gle runs in the first four innings,
two in the sixth and three in the
eighth. Tri-City scored twice in
the seventh -and then added the
four in the ninth.
Neither Glenn Stetter or Ray
McNulty, obtained in the trade
with Spokane for Mel Wasley, saw
action last night. They will see
their first competition after more
conditioning.
The second game of the series
will be played tonight starting at

Senate
ects
New Tax
By Lester F. 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.

Aluminum Ban
Cancelled by
Government
WASHINGTON, April 20 (P)
The government today cancelled
a scheduled May 1 ban on the
use of aluminum In more than
200 civilian products ranging from
automobile trim to cigarette light
ers. 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.
In another home-front devel
opment, it was reported that 70,
000 CIO electrical workers at
General Electric plants are sched
uled to get an "escalator" wage
increase of nine cents an hour.
""""Their - contract provides for a
raise if the cost of living index of
the Bureau of Labor statistics
goes up. It provides for one cent
an 'hour for every rise of 1-14
points over the level of Sept. 15,
1950.
The bureau's latest index for
March 14 was released today,
showing that it has risen to 184.5
per cent o the 1935-39 average.
That would be 0.7 percentage
points atxve Feb. 15 and 10.7
points above Sept. 15.
The pay raise, which would be
permissible under government
stabilization policies, would be
retroactive to March 15.

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.
