Wrote Bad Check
He quit school when a junior in
high school in 1946. He went to
Klamath i Falls seeking work. It
was Christmas week and he was
broke. He wrote a bad check to
buy presents to send home.
He was caught and spent Christ
mas in the jail there. This was his
first brush with the aw. "I spent
uiristmas Eve." he remembered,
"looking out my cell window listen,
ing to some kids sing Christmas
carols." i
He wen back home, did odd jobs,
tried unsuccessfully to get into
the Army. Bad eyes, doctors said.
Then he got married in February,
1949. In 1951 he was sent to Wash
ington State Reformatory at Mon
roe for eight months for burglary.
This escapade he said was again
the result of interference in his
marriage. He didn't elaborate.
Searched For Family
When he got out of the reforma
tory he had no further trouble
with the law until the Salem crime.
During this time he searched con
tinually., for his wife and young
son.
"I'm , not attempting to excuse
myself for what I've done," he
said. His eyes shone with moisture
at times while he, talked. "But I
think I am in need of psychiatric
treatment. I had a fair trial and
the jury, under Oregon's antiquat
ed insanity law, could bring in no
other verdict. Stortz was wonder
ful." He said he will be baptized into
the Catholic faith probably Thurs
day by the Rev. William McClory,
prison chaplain.

say : he eats F and sleeps i well.

GOP Leaders in
Conflict Over
Tax Cut Plans
By CHARLES F. BARRETT
WASHINGTON UV An open
conflict sprang up among House
Republican leaders Tuesday over
a bill to cut individual income tax
rates 11 per cent starting June 30.
Chairman Reed (R-NY) came
out of a closed House Ways and
Means Committee session empha
tically predicting the committee
will approve the tax - cutting pro
posal at a meeting called for Feb.
16.
Reed, author of the bill, said
further "the House will pass it
right away before the end of
February." He told reporters pros
pects for early passage are "per
fect" and any delay would be
"over my dead body.'
House Speaker Martin (R-Mass),
however, promptly called a dif
ferent tune. -4-
The speaker told a reporter the
bill might come out of Reed's com
mittee in February but -it prob
ably will be several months before
it reaches the House floor.
"We've got to do some saving
first we ve got to do some cut
ting," Martin said. The speaker
and other Republicans, including
Rep. Halleck (R-Ind), floor leader,
have called for action to slash
federal spending and balance the
budget before they consider tax
reductions.'
Reed's bill ' would be the first
reduction for, about 50 million tax
payers ' since a ' series of - boosts
after the Korean war started in
1950. Since the ; 11 per cent cut
would start in mid - year, the
reduction over the full . calendar
year of 1833 would be per
cent. -'

. 'Then it passed him, crossed In

onersecond intervals throughout its
course." : ' .. '

Request for Larger Teaching Staff,
School Accommodations at Pen Due
By HECTOR L. FOX
. Associated Press Writer
Educational forces, slowed on one sector Tuesday, face an
other legislative hurdle Wednesday when they go before tb
ways and means committee in quest of funds to expand schooling
at Oregon State Penitentiary. .
Supporters of the proposal to put Oregon into the educational
television business put their case before the House education'
committee Tuesday, only to learn I
later In the day that Gov. Paul L.
Patterson -is-opposed to the idea,
presently j at least.
The governor said that an ap
propriation of $894,000, recom
mended by the Oregon Education
Association to erect transmitters
and studios for TV broadcasts by
the State Board of Higher Educa
tion, could be better used for con
struction of college buildings. '
Also, the . governor declared,
there did not appear to be any
reason to doubt the -Federal Com
munications Commissions would
grant non-commercial TV chan
nels two- or three years hence.
Proponents had warned that appli
cations might not be accepted after
July, 1954, and that the Ford Foun
dation may withdraw its offer of
$200,000 grants-in-aid.
Sponsors of educational telecasts
told the committee they envisioned
a statewide network costing sever
al million dollars. They emphasiz
ed Washington and ' other states
were planning or had in partial
operation similar ventures. Wash
ington, they said, would be asked
for $10,000,000 for a 17-station sys
tem. The 'ways and means committee
is 'scheduled to hear Wednesday a
request for money to enlarge the
teaching staff and accommodations
now used at the State Prison, The
Erlson schooling system has been
l operation about' two years and
recently graduated its first high
school class.
Seven More Teachers
The prison educational enlarge
ment plan contemplates the addi
tion of seven teachers, more school
rooms and an auditorium.
The House, which has held only
morning sessions the past two days
to permit concentrated committee
work, put speedy approval in five
bills and sent them to the Senate
Tuesday. Two Involved traffic
setting the maximum speed for
school busses at 45 miles per hour
and making it mandatory for a
motorist to stop after striking a
pedestrian. . ' . . .
Increase in unemployement com
pensation benefits from $25 to $35
a week for 28 weeks,-and elimina
tion of the one-week waiting pe
riod for Jobless benefits were
sought in two new labor bills.
Cuts School Age
Rep. Maurine Neuberger, Port
land, introduced legislation to re
duce from 18 to 18 the age children
can leave schooL Portland General
Electric put in its bill to permit
court appeals from decisions of the
state hydro-electric commission.
At request of the governor, a
memorial urging that all state em
ployes be placed under social se
curity was introduced. Other new
legislation included a bin to erect
a $2,200,000 dental school in Sam
Jackson Park In Portland.
The House highway committee
voted to ' introduce . a re-written
bUl that would permit tolls only
on the Interstate bridge between
Portland and Vancouver to help
raise funds for a second span
alongside the ' existing structure.
The original bill. did not specify
the Interstate span. -Protest
Proposal ;
Several cities on Highway 99 and
101 protested the state . highway
commission's proposal to seek au
thority to. regulate p a r k 1 n g on
state control over installation and
operation of parking meters a vi
tal source of - revenue " to cities.
Parking meters now are operated
by cities on several state highways
that pass through their centers.
The House committee also is ex
pected to put -teeth" in the law
that prohibits parking adjacent to
state highways. Although state po
lice have issued citations for viola
tions, there is no provision in the
existing law for court action. - -
.Rep. Mark Hatfield, Salem. In
