Kefauver Promises
Full Development of
Natural Resources
(Story, photo on page 1.)
PORTLAND (JP) Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee came to Ore
gon Thursday in his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomi
nation and promised full development of the nation's resources.
He said in a speech prepared for delivery before a Democratic
rally here Thursday night "our natural resources are a heritage of all
our people.
"We hear much these days from
the spokesmen from big interests
of the dangers of 'creeping social
ism.' " he said.
"But I say to you unequivocal
ly," he added, "that if by 'creeping
socialism' our opponents mean the
Bonneville Project, full develop
ment of the Columbia River, TVA,
rural electrification, the St. Law
rence Seaway and hydroelectric
pro)ects . . . then the-danger we
must watch out for is not 'creeping
socialism' but 'insidious reaction'
cloaked in soft words and high
paid advertising."
He Cited what he called social
gains of Democratic programs in
cluding rural electrification, low
cost housing, farm stabilization and
farm controls.
These, he said "have shown to
the world that when people as a
nation- bother themselves about
the welfare of each individual and
make government an instrument
of the popular will there is no
nd to the social gains which can
be made."
He said social gains of tha na
tion must be extended. "We must
find soma way to improve the na
tional health," he continued. "We
must enlarge federal aid to edu
cation so that every citizen has an
equal opportunity to equip him
self for a useful and profitable
life."
The senator, here for only one
day, said he would return to Ore
gon to conduct an ertive campaign
before the May 18 primary elec
tion. "You have great natural re
sources," he said in reference to
the Columbia and other rivers of
the Northwest which supply great
quantities of public power through
hydroelectric dams.
He described freight rates of the
area as "discriminatory" and a
"burden" and said "we must con
tinue the effort" to equalize them.
If nominated and elected, he
promised to "bring government to
the people and encourage wide
participation by the people in gov
ernment." "We must be ever watchful of
the integrity and efficiency of our
government," he said.
He will go from here to Boise
Friday.
Income Tax
Chief Denies
Persecution
Reports that professional men,
uch as doctors, dentists and law
yers, have been singled out by
the State Tax Cornmission for spe
cial investigation in connection
with their incomes for tax pur
poses were denied by Ray Smith,
in charge of the State Income Tax
Division here Thursday.
"Our field auditors are investi
gating all income tax returns,"
smith said but these investigations
are not confined to any one class."
Smith said his operatives had
found that some attorneys, doc
tors and dentists have violated the
income tax, laws by failing to file
a return but so have other persons
coming under the act.
Spot checks on incomes of many
income taxpayers, not any one
class, are now in progress in many
sections of the state, according to
Smith.

Courthouse Bid Gall Scheduled
For Mid-May; Reductions Eyed
Bids for construction of the new Marion County Courthouse will
be opened about May 15, with efforts aimed now at assuring bids
within the county's available funds.
This the County Court stressed Thursday in a session with archi
tects, only a day after receiving National Production Authority ap
proval for building.
Court members told the archi
tects that it is Important to pre
pare specifications so that the cost
will not be more than the $1,723,
000 in sight by July 1. Bids a year
ago were about $2 million and
were rejected as too high.
This is to be accomplished, not
by cuts in quality or in appear
ance, but by leaving out some ex
tras and by naming some alter
nates which could be deducted if
bids are too high. Then these
would be added when more money
becomes available, through an
other tax levy which the court in
dicated it would ask. This could
occur during the 18 months re
quired for construction.
County Judge Rex Hartley point
ed out that the court would not
ask for more funds until construc
tion was assured, to prevent loss
of value through inflation.
Architects Irving G. Smith and
George Kotchik of the Pietro Bel
luachi firm in Portland said some
building items have dropped in
price since the earlier bids were
opened, although labor costs are
up. But they indicated that scar
city of commercial building in this
area might help to gain favorable
bids.
The court decided that alter
nates or omissions from plans
should include leaving out one
half the men's jail cells, soma of
tha marble exterior facing and
other trim, much of the courtroom
finishing, Jail kitchen and laundry
equipment, one of two passenger
elevators and the jail elevator and
i possibly lighting fixtures and
I hardware, with the Idea that the

latter would be placed in a sepa
rate contract prior to occupancy of
the structure.
Eonomies were also planned in
plumbing; and 1 ighUng fixtures,
ceiUng and flooring materials and
sash.
