MeetBrings Complaint by Small Aviation GEARHART, Ore. U) Charges that the government discriminates against small aviation in favor of air lines and the military were made at the International North west Aviation Council, which ended a- two-day annual meeting here Tuesday. Harry J. Coffey, president of the National Aeronautics Association and a pioneer Oregon pilot, said, On the highway the public has the right of way over the trucks and buses, but not on the airways." He added. "It is the job of our aviation officials to encourage the flying public to use the airways that are built and supported by public funds." Pretests Curtailment Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon state aeronautic directors conferred with CAA officials, ask ing assurance that radio range and communications facilities im portant to private pilots would not be further curtailed. Frank Wiley, Montana director, criticized the basis on which the CAA determined that control tow ers like Salem's and communica tions stations like La Grande's should be closed, lives Important Addressing the CAA, he said, your survey considers one air liner equal' to 10 light planes. To us, the life of the private pilot is just as important as the safety of the airliner." The council voted to extend its Lr e s e n t four-state membership mndaries to include North Dakota and Saskatchewan, as well as the Yukon and Northwest Territories as far as the Arctic Ocean. Van couver, B. C, was chosen for next year's convention. Edward Stull of Trans-Canada Air Lines was elected president, succeeding L. S. White, Portland.

Policy Avoids Federal Steam Power Plants . FARGO, N. D. UP The De partment of Interior definitely does not intend to build steam plants to "firm up" the power generated by its hydro-electric plants, , As sistant Secretary Fred G. Aandahl said Tuesday. To "firm up" is to provide auxil iary power when water supplies are too low to run hydroelectric plants at full capacity. Aandahl discussed the adminis tration's power policy at a meet ing of the Missouri Basin Inter Agency Committee here. A former governor of North Da kota, Aandahl submitted to nume rous questions after reading a formal statement on power policy. He was asked to state the admin istration's policy on steam plants. "Interior does not intend to build steam plants anywhere," he re sponded. Follows Policy "The clear-cut statements in the new power policy go a long way in assuring local people that under the present administration the fed eral government is not going to attempt to create a federal power monopoly." he declared. Aandahl brought out that the Bu reau of Reclamation, which will market all power generated by fed eral hydro plants, has not yet ar rived at rates for the federal pow er. Asks for Statement Got. Sigurd Anderson of South Dakota asked for a policy state ment on the sale of power to new industrial development, which he said was used as a selling point for the river development program. Aandahl said the department's policy would be to meet the re quirements of rural and domestic users before signing additional con tracts for industrial construction. "The department has taken the position that it will not recognize as part of the demand of either (preference or nonpreference agen cies for industrial use in excess of 10,000 kilowatts," he said.

MINESWEEPER TO ITALY SEATTLE The Italian Navy received a minesweeper from the U. S. Navy here Tuesday. It is the second sweeper from this area consigned to Italy recently under the mutual assistance program. The vessel is one that was launched a year ago. to State Senator Howard Belton of Canby, committee chairman. The committee's definition is: I True cash value of aU property, real ana personal, means mum value, or in the absence thereof, constructive market value." Constructive market value is the amount which would justly compensate an owner for loss of a certain property. The term "market value" is the price prop erty would bring when sold in the open market. Whichever Lower The committee reports that constructive market value will be used for property where market value is administratively imprac tical to determine. In this case a property would be evaluated at cost or constructive market value, whichever is lower. The true cash value in all cases will be determined by methods and procedures issued by the state tax commission. Market value, according to the tax study committee, will be based on the fact that both buyer and seller consider the following components of value: 1. Land tax assessment shall take into consideration improve ment of the land, surrounding country, use and earning power of land and any rights or privi leges connected with the land. Also, considered will be quality of soil, topography, water re sources, clima, natural resourc es and availability of transporta tion. Won't Decrease If land is located in a reclama tion district, value will not in crease until construction and im provement of the district is com plete ta the point where water may be delivered or removed from the land. 2. Taxable improvements shall be assessed by methods which consider the "replacement cost of property, depreciation, selling price of improvements in sur rounding areas, earning power attributed to the improvements including both cash rent and an nuity. 3. Taxable standing timber shaU be assessed by methods which consider the species, qual ity and volume of timber after an allowance has been made for breakage, demand, market ac cessability, topography of sur rounding country, fire risk, dis ease, carrying charges, climate and total volume of timber in the surrounding country. The tax study committee said that since 1950 the state tax commission has been confronted with the problem of equalizing assessments between real prop erty and merchandise inven tories. CIO Rebukes Ike Regime For T-H Stand WASHINGTON CD The CIO's chief counsel, Arthur J. Goldberg, Tuesday accused the Eisenhower administration of "playing special interest politics" with proposals to amend the Taft-Hartley labor law.
